Judge B. +. Parks, late of Aurora,
Ills, who was not so well acquaint-
ed with the Bible as most lawyers,
was at one time engaged in the trial
of an important will case in Kendall
county before the late Judge Leland
and q jury. During the course of an
eloquent, convincing argument he
told the jury they would find in the
Bible the following 1.-THE Lord tenn
pers the wind to the shorn lamb"
Judge Leland, who was noted as
a dry joker, thereupon interrupted
the speaker by asking him to give
the chapter and book where the
words quoted could be found.
Judge Parks, who was as quick
at repartee as he was forcible as an
advocate, and who realized he must
have committed a blunder which
must be overcome, promptly retort-
ed:
No, your honor, 1 am addressing
an intelligent jury of farmers who
read the Bible. If were speaking to
the court, l would be careful to re-
fer particularly to the chapter, book
and verse from which 1 quote. -

HIS MIND A BLANK.
Captain James q. N~fckerson, who
Recently Disappeared, at Home.
Special to the Jersey Citu Ne1cs.

RR~tut " bHS fccQ OftV AeG6s
CAPE MAY, Jan. s, 1Ss7.-with his
mind a complete blank as to his past,
Captain James g. Nickerson reached his
home, at South seaville, in the care of
his brother Wednesday night, and his
case is puzzling not only his relatives,
but the doctors. His wife, almost over
come with joy by his return, sprang to
greet him. but he stared b1ankly at her
without a sign of recognition. He is do
cile enough and gives no trouble, having
willingly accompanied his brother from
Wilmington, N. c., where h was found.
Captain Nickerson disappeared ten
days g from his schooner, the Lucy.
al Hampton Roads, Va. For several days
no trace of him could be found. and
It was generally feared tina he had met
with foul play, as he had considerable
money with him. Somehow nobody can
tell how he reached Wilmington, fell in
with a sea captain and aid to him.
= don't know Who I am or where I
came from"
The captain took him to the Mayor,
who turned him over to his brother, a
physician in a hospital, who discovered
q card upon him bearing his name, and
wired to his wife in South SeaviIle. He
was brought to Philadelphia by his
pTotner ana examined at the German
Hospital, but nothing eini discovered.
He Is to be returned for treatment on
Monday. h doctors think that by diet
ing and careful attention he may re-
cover.
Captain Nickerson is able to read, but
cannot comprehend what he has read
when asked bou it. A valise he car
ried with him contained the name H.
Harris, by which, apparently, he had
been known. Where he obtained this
name has not been discovered. He is as
intelligent as usual when discussing
events of the moment, but remembers
has not been injured or drugged seems
evident, because he had several undred
dollars with him and a valise full Of
underclothing recently bought, and he
also wore a new suit of clothing pur-
chased during the interval since leaving
his vessel.

ECONOMY b women,s Pay.

Some lays ago we directed attention
to the financial storm that is brewing
at Trenton. 1t is true The the State
treasury is getting into a bad way. Re-
publican economy is rushing IN to a de-
felt at headlong speed. When the de-
ficiency and appropriation bills for the
coming year are published, the State
will bitterly regret the good old days
of Albeit and Werts' extravaganza.
The Republican regime, however, will
not be a failure for want of earnest and
characteristic effort to ave-. If there is
any way by which a poor man. or better
stin, a poor girl, can be done out of a
few cents, without the sacrifice of votes
OF hardship to the bosses and their tools,
full advantage will be taken of it. A
case in point is the raid just made upon
the pay of copyists in the Office of the
Clerk in Chancery.
When the old fee system was abolished
in this Office. a great flourish of trumpets
was mace ABOUT the great prOul tndt WAS
to result to the State. The Democratic
papers laughed at this when the Appro-
priation bill was passed. They wanted
to know where the saving came in. They
did not coun upon the Republican
capacity for grinding those who are not
able to protect themselves. 1t is no
Laughing matter now. It is one of tears
and suffering for the women who do the
work of the office. The more or less
Hon" Mr.. Thompson has cut down the
pay of these ladies for enrolling from
8 cents to 2h cents a folio. The new
price makes it impossible fer the most
expert hands, by the most persistent eff
fort. to max more han $50 a month.
This is one of hi most despicable acts
that has ever beer committed in the
public name in this State. 1t is in sad
contrast with the practice of Mr.. Thomp-
sons predecessor.
