away the Judicial ormine Friday
last, and retired to the shades of
private life; Judge o. VIII. Wright
succeeding HIM. During Mr.. john
ston's service on the bench, we be-
lieve he has endeavored to be fair

ings, and retires with the good
wishes of all. lie will resume the
practice Of law, and in everything
but politics, he has our good wishes
for the future.
Judge o. w. III. Wright assumed
his official duties AS common pleas
judge, at this place on Friday.
About the first official act perform
ed by the judge, was the appoint
ment of Miss Emma Mcmahon as
court stenographer for term Of
three years. Miss Mcmahon has
discharged the duties of this posi-
tiOn for number of years past.
o. w. III. Wright, Common Pleas
Judge, elected to fill out the uneX-
pired term of Judge Huffman, de-
ceased, received his commission
and was qualified last week. On
Friday the Judge was here and
went over the docket with our at
torneys preparatory to commenc-
ing In earnest, and on Monday he
was ON the bench and has been
working in q manner indicating a
disposition to do his share toward
closing up the business before the
court in as rapid a manner as pos
sible.
Judge o. w. III. Wright, is the
third gentleman of that name to
occupy the judgeship chair in this
district. Judge Robert Wright, OF
Logan, was appointed in the fifties
as an associate Judge, and after the
abolishment of this office Hon. Silas
II. Wright, of Logan, and a, dis
tinguisiIed kinsman Of Judge Rob-
ert Wright, was elected Common
Pleas Judge. Both these Judges
have passed to the great beyond to
appear before that great judge OF
all mankink, after an honored
careor as public men, whom all
were proud to know. Judgc-elect
0. w. II. Wright, although name
sake of the above mentioned dis
tinguished jurists bears no rela-
tionship to them. lie is an able
jurist and from an humble begin
ming, has advanced himself until
he is acknowledged TO be one OF the
most learned practitioners of the
bar Of Hooking county. He is the
youngest judge that ever sat on the
Common Pleas bench in this dis
trict, being at the time Of his elec-
tiOn In his fortieth year.

Cecil Rhodes.

Cecil Rhodes says The Saturday
Review, els a strong man of the kind
that is never finished by single stroke.
And he is strong with the strength Of
coarse, ruthless, greedy egotism, the
strokes Of whose piston rod force the
minds and the money of weaker men
into it's reservoir. AS he was at OrieI 20
years ago SO he is at Cape Town today
lonely, self absorbed, irritable and not
to be relied upon. He hates women,
Whom he regards as unnecessary i'm
pedimenta in the campaign, and he has
no idea of friendship. He only recog-
nizes instruments to be used and enc
mics to be dealt with. Success accentJ-
ated his defeats to the point of disease
and made him SO irritable, SO self alb
sorbed and SO insolent that none but
parasites could live with him.

Christmas In q Foreign Land.

The great hall was gay with holly and
Christmas green's. It was showing out
side for the first time that year, and the
hinge fireplace was full of logs blazing
and swapping in splendidly cheerful
way. Dinner was to be earlier than usu-
al. A great festivity was going on in
the servants hall, and when Warford
went out with Lady Mary to cut the
great Christmas pasty and have his
health drunk. Betty and Edith went,
too, and everybody stood up and cheered
and cried: merry Christmas! Merry
Christmas, and God bless you'll in the
most hearty fashion. 1t seemed as it all
the holly in the Danesly woods had been
brought in-as if Christmas had never
been SO warm and friendly and generous
in a great house before. Christmas eve
had begun, and cast it's lovely charm
and enchantment over everybody IS heart.
Old dislikes were forgotten between the
guests. AT Christmas time it is easy to
say kind words that are hard to say all
the rest Of the year; at Christmas time
one loves his neighbor and thinks better
Of him. Christmas love and good will
come and fill the heart whether one
beckons them or not. Betty had spent
some lonely Christmases in her short
life, as all the rest of us have done, and
perhaps for this reason the keeping of the
great day at Danesly in such happy
company, in such splendor and warm
seartedness of the old English fashion,
gee ed q Lind of royal Christmas to
her Dung heart. Everybody was SO kind

An ingenious bride, SO the story
goes, has evolved a happy scheme for
keeping her husband true to the pro-
testations of his wooing. The en-
gagement was a long one, the love
letters exchanged, legion. With these
letters she has papered her boudoir.
No man could in the face of such evil
dence of eternal devotion object to
the price of new bonnet or be
stingy in the matter of pin money.
How could he scold about the butch
er's bill, or be sulky even if she did
give his pet lounging coat to the old
clothes man, or put her pug to sleep
in his Sunday hat, or cry because he
staid at the club and forgot to come
in until midnight as in his bachelor
day Philadelphia Call.
