The Supreme Court.

''The judges of the United States courts have, with rare exceptions, been men of excellent legal ability and of high character writes ex-President Harrison ill The Ladies' Home Journal. 'The bar has sometimes complained that judges were arbitrary and not al ways as suave and respectful ill their treatment of the members of the bar as they ought to be. Perhaps there has been in particular cases ground for such complaints, but the cases have been few. Manifestations of rudeness and passion are inexcusable ill judge He must be deferential if he expects defer ence. He should be patient and even tempered, for the case is sure to go his way in his own court. And, on the oth- CT hand, the bar should always give its powerful aid to support the influence of the courts, for the judicial department is the keystone of our government and assarlts upon it threaten the whole structure of the stately arch.

ASHFORD.


 The senate has taken final action in the case of Lucas Douglas, an Ashford man, who died two years ago, leaving a will in which he provided that all his money be employed in erecting a monument over his grave. His two sisters were in con- fortable circumstances in 1879 at the time this will was made. Since then one has died, leaving children to be supported by the town, and the other is a widow who would be greatly benefited by share of her brothers $10, 900 estate. To compli- cate matters the monument which Doug las had desired was found to be too large for the little cemetery enclosure. Davis A. Baker. town clerk of Ashford, there fore referred the question to the legisla- ture for settlement, and the judiciary committee now recommends the purchase of suitable lot, the removal of Douglas remains, and the erection of a monument as by his will provided. d.-NoraotchB Bulletin.

Easter Sunday.

The Lenten season for the year l-97 is
near at hand, tue sackcloth and ashes
east aside for another twelve months, aud
the world will again be given over to
amusemeuts and pleasures of every kind.
Easter Sunday derives it's title from the
German word "Ostern," old Saxon
''ostcr," the definition Of which is "ris-
ing" Easter is, therefore. the Christian
Passover, OF festival of the resurrection OF
the Lord. The time of celebrating the
festival was n subject that gave rise to
heated discussions In the primitive
churches. The question was fully con-
sidrred and finally settled at the Council
of Nice in 325 A. d., for the whole
church by adopting the rule which makes
Easter day the first Sunday after the first
full moon after March 2lst. Commonly
speaking, it is the first Sunday after the
first full moon after the sun crosses the
line.
This period always affords a season of
rest to the people of the world, whether
they are either OF the sects, denomina-
tlous or creeds that observe Lent, and it
is well that there IS such a season for
this reason, for its influence is bound to
be more or less beneficial in the way OF
calling a halt in the mad whirl of excit-
ing aud euorvatin. social amnseme nts
and festivities to which the fashionable
| world abandons itself for the want of
something better to do. The Lentcn
season gives Fashions devoters the on.
p~ortuLity TO rest aud rec1perate, but
whether they are benefited in a spiritual
and moral way is altogether another
question, but let MS hope that it does eX-
elt such beneiicieut and elovating lnlu
cUCtS.
