Although party feeling ran high
and party lines were sharply drawn
in the New York campaign that
ended with the recent election, a
notable political incident of the
year was the endorsement by the
republicans Of Judge O'Brien for
his reelection to the court of APP
peals. Judge o'Brien is a demo-
crat, but he had sat on the bench
with credit to himself. his profess
sion and the state, and it was COM
monty agreed that that the judi.
ciary would be the gamer If he
were given another term. Hence
his support by both parties aud a
reelection that reflects the unani.
nous wishes of HE fellow citizens.
The election of Judge 0'Brien is
significant in showing q growing
sentiment in favor of taking the
courts out of politics.
An idea has long prevailed
that the nomination and election
of judges should be wholly apar'
from the selection Of other officers
Experience has shown that il il
not always possible to place th'
best men on the bench when poll
! tics is taken into consideration ant
the judiciary is drawn into the tur
, moil that is often associated Will
F.. the selection of other public ser
! wants. Above all, it is gradual
, becoming an accepted fact that tn
Judiciary should be divorced fror
partizanship, and that in the selet
ton of men for the bench the mair
things to consider are not man
political affiliations, but his char
acter, honesty, intelligence, legs
ability and judicial justification
When the bench is chosen in thi
way there is little doubt that i
! will be stronger, more impartia
and better equipped to interprt
the law and to deal out justice fail

ELIEAHX.

In the old days there was
prophet by the name OF Elijah.
He was n good man, but so poor
that his raiment was made of
skins
And yet Elijah the Tishbite left
a pane that has lived through all
the centuries of time-a name that
will pass from memory only when
time ceases to be.
But we have a new Elijah the
Prophet.
And such a prophet!
To sinful man and woman he
was known q few years ago as
John Alexander Dowie, man who
blew in with the winds from Aus
tralia without dollar in his pock-
ct.
When the Pacific coast repudiat-
ed him and his doctrine he Hopped
his wings and like bird of prey
settled down on the goddess city Of
Chicago.
Suckers we're plentiful, and when
he unfurled his banner of Zion, re-
cruits fiocked to his standard in
droves.
Being man of peculiar magnet
ism and keen business sagacity, ne
insulted the ministry, revlled the
press and damned the medical pro-
fcssion with every breath.
He wanted newspaper notoriety.
And he got it.
And with it he got fresh recruits
from the numerous suckers of the
City of Wind. And in like ma N
ner he annexed their gold and thei
prospects of the same.
Next he founded a city and gath
cred together a host Of 10000 delud
ed followers. He created an army
Of a thousand men dressed in gorg
eous uniforms and armed with thu
Bible.
Millions in gold flowed into hi
rapacious paw, and with each in
stallment came dreams Of adde
greatness and power.
Then with flourish of trumpet
he proclaimed to the world that h
was the second edition of Elijah tn
Prophet.
Having conquered the wicked
ness of the Windy City he gathere
together his hosts and invaded th
sacred soil of New York. He char
cred whole trains for his army al
travelled himself OIL q palace {
wheels.
But the home Of the Knicke
booker was wicked,
O, 80 wicked!
1t refused to take the proph
seriously and likewise declined
part with its gold.

A young Commander.

The story Of boy of II years acting
as commander Of ship seems rather
wonderful, yet Farragut was but IL
years and days old when he was put
in command Of the Barclay, a prize
ship taken by Captain Porter. In
consideration of his tender years, says
the author of ''Twenty-six Historic
Ships" the former English master of
the vessel was sent in her for the pos
sible benefit the young prize-master
might find in his advice. Farragut
tells the story Of the queer division of
authority in his journal as follows:
II considered that the day of trial
had arrived, for I was little afraid
Of the old fellow, as every one else
was. But the time had come for me at
least to play the man; so I mustered
up courage and informed the captain
that I desired the maintopsail filled
away in order that we might close up
with the Essex Junior. He replied
that he would shoot any man who
dared to touch rope without his or
ders. He would go his own course,
and had no idea Of trusting himself
with a blasted NUTSHELL and then he
went below for his pistols
81 called my right-hand man Of the
crew and told him Of my situation; I
also informed him that I wanted the
maintopsail filed. He answered with
a clear Aye, aye, SIR In a manner
that was not to be misunderstood, and
my confidence was perfectly restored.
"From that moment became master
of the vessel, and Immediately gave all
necessary orders for making sail, mott
flying the captain not to come on with
his pistols unless he wished to go over
board; for I really would have had
very little trouble in having such an
order obeyed."

lNcoNslDeRATE FRIENDS.

They Did Not Do Things Exactly to
Suit the Borrower.
Eben Rawles was the town borrower.
The position would seem to most per-
sons to be one which would deprive
the incumbent of the right to find
fault, but Eben took different view
Of it.
'It beats all how long it takes some
folks to read the newspapers" he said
discontentedly one day to an idle list
ener. NOW there are the John Pot
ters; well-meaning family as ever
lived, but they're downright thought
less. Why, again and again when l
step in for their paper first thing in
the morning, they won't know where
it is. Oftentimes I've waited as much
as half an hour while they hunted up
that paper, and then very likely there'd
be one page missing, and nobody'd
know just where it was.
''They haven't got any system, that's
the trouble with 'em. It's large FAM
lily of different ages, and suspect they
portion off the paper in the evening,
stead of keeping 1t all together and
reading 1t one at a time.
81 can manage better with their
weeklies, for / told Mis- Potter I'd 60
right over Friday mornings soon as it
came, and read it out on the porch.
Then they could do what they were a
mind with it afterward.
"But I experience my greatest Tou-
BILE with the magazines" said Mr..
Rawles, sadly. 81 pledge you my word
it's been ten days after a magazine
was out, time and again, before I've
got sight at it. They keep it to read
aloud, the women folks do. It's
dreadful wasteful habit, but 1 can't
make any impression on 'em. And
when 1 get It," and Mr.. Rawles as
sumed a stern expression, "it's ten to
one If that youngest child hasn't been
allowed to cut a picture out of it that
just spoils some advertising article.
ITO persons situated as 1 am all

to see such tampering with it; but we
all have our trials, and L suppose dis
cipline is what we need"

Modest Request.

The wit of the Irish is proverbial,
and instances are not wanting to show
that they have all their wits about
them in time of danger. An Irish
switchman employed in the freight
yards \of a Western city was unlucky
enough one day to get his left foot
fastened in that death-trap known as
a "frog." A vigorous effort to free
himself failed. A freight-train was
backing down upon him, not more than
forty feet away.
Quick as thought he whipped his
knife out of his pocket, opened it, cut
the folds of his shoestring with one
sweep of the blade, jerked his foot out
of the shoe, leaving the latter in the
frog, and jumped to one side. He es-
caped death by margin of less than a
second.
The freight superintendent, hearing
of his narrow escape, called him into
his office the next day.
Larry" he said, you showed won
derful presence of mind in an emer-
gency yesterday. / should like to do
something for you to show my appre-
citation of it. What shall it be?'
"Well, sor,'' responded Larry,
scratching his head, ''the shoe Is as
good as iver. but the STRINGS no good
at all now. Ye might give me an
ordher for new pair av shoesthrings.

Gen. Clay's Courage.

General Cassius M. Clay fought
many duels in his day, usually with
his long-bladed knife, meeting pistol
or rifle equally with that trusty weap-
on. His physical strength was gfgan-
tic. He was accustomed to the use
of weapons, and he was always cool
and never lost his judgment. For ex-
ample, when an adversary shot him,
and he supposed he was done for, he
inflated his lungs to the full, conscious
that he would live as long as he could
hold his breath. Then he drew his
knife and did his bloody work. That
was when he killed Turner. After all,
speaking musingly, reviewing his life,
he confessed to a reporter, when he
was about "a. that he was opposed OF
principle to the duel, thinking it a
savage way to settle difficulty, ..but
there are some cases for which il
seems to be the only remedy. New

KING PETER |.

Daily Routine.

still Simple aud Democratic = HE
Daily Routine.
The private life of Peter I. has hard
ly undergone any change since his ac-
cession to the throne The king lives
to-day as simple and democratic a life
as did the exiled rageorgevitch at
Geneva. He observes court etiquette
SO long as it does not conflict with his
democratic convictions.
He rises every morning at 5 o'clock,
and takes a drive round the neighbor-
hood of Belgrade, accompanied only
by one aide-de-camp. At he returns
and is shaved; as he begins his daily
work. First Of all he receives his pri-
vate secretary, who has to submit to
the king his letters and other mail mat
ter. Next the police prefect of Bel
grade makes his report to his majesty.
That official has to inform the king of
all occurrences of Importance or inter-
est within the limits of the city of Bel
grade. Next the first aide-de-camp,
who at present also acts as court mar
shall, and finally the chief Of the royal
household, are received. The latter
has to submit daily account of all the
civil list The king checks every item
most minutely. At his suggestion book
keeping by double entry has been intro
duced in the royal household.
At 10 o'clock the king is generally
visited by his lifelong friend, Colonel
No IL IA ~
discusses private affairs. The marquis,
who is at present the kings guest, was
his schoolmate and his comrade in war.
Since the colonel retired from the
French service six years ago he has
been almost constantly with Peter
Karageorgevitch. Il
After this visit the king receives his
ministers and other persons who have
requested an audience, or he reads the
newspapers nearly all those published
in the Servian language and some Ger
man and French journals.
At 1890 lunch is served for the king,
a meal in which the Marquis de Rose
and two of the officers of the house
hold participate. This meal is most
simple affair, and consists NANNY OF
Servian and French dishes. The king
drinks nothing but mineral water on
account of an old internal malady,
which, however, is now gradually dis
appearing. At o'clock the king re-
tires to his private rooms, where he
remains until 8, when he. again re-
ceiyes his private secretary and dis
poses of his correspondence.
Before dinner his majesty sometimes
takes another drive round the city.
Dinner is served at Z, and seldom occu-
pies more than one hour. After that
the king is usually occupied with lit
erature- He reads mostly books on
military or financial subjects. In In
dustrial matters, too. he shows a lively
interest, and does his best to induce
foreign capitalists to invest money in
Servia. He has no particular leaning

EUROPE'S HIGHEST RAILWAY.
Roadbed and Track a Fantastic Play
of Turns and Loops.

Roadbed and Track a Fantastic Play
of Turns and Loops.
The AIbula- -Engadine line, opened for
traffic recently in Switzerland, is de-
scribed by Emil Rueker, in Pages
magazine, as the highest in Europe.
The line traverses scenery of great
beauty. By turns and loops and by
the steepest gradient the track leads
now above and below the highway,
through the Bergunstein, famous for
it's gullies and rocks, to Bergun, 4,5OO
feet.
Abruptly emerging from rocky de-
files, the train passes Bergun. sur
rounded by the giant Albula Dolo-
mites, Piz Rugnux, Piz dAela and the
Albulahorn. During the last part OF
the panorama the railway follows the
slopes of the mountains. Between
Muot and Naz parts Of the railway
may be seen above. below and on each
side, with its chain of viaducts, gal
leries and bridges.
It is almost impossible to follow the
convolutions Of the line as by three
fold turns and loops it passes through
tunnels suggestive of the st. Gothard
and the Brenner Railways. After as
cending more than 1900 feet the line
reaches the entrance to the main tun-
mel at Preda. The track is in its last
part a fantastic play of turns and
loops, from which, by an easy ascent,
one reaches the pass of the Weissen-
berg and the Devils valley, where the
steep basin Of rocks is crowned by the
twin giants Piz Giumells).
Here the Albula chain is pierced by
a tunnel more than three miles long.
6175 feet above the sea and $500 feet
under the Piz Giumells, passing the
dividing ridge between the waters of
the Rhine and the Danube-the high
est standard railway track in Europe.

INCIDENTAL EDUCATION.

Acquireme That Contributed To-
ward success of Louis Agassiz.
1t does not appear that Louis Agas-
siz, the great naturalist, had as child
any precocious prediction for study,
but his love of natural history showed
itself almost from infancy. In Life
and Correspondence Of AgassiZ," by
Elizabeth Cary Agassiz, his childish
amusements are described. When a
very little fellow he had, besides his
collection of fishes, all sorts of pets:
birds, field-mice, hares, rabbits and
guinea pigs, whose families he reared
with the greatest care. Guided by his
knowledge Of the haunts and habits of
fishes, he and his brother Auguste be-
came the most adroit of young fisher
men, using processes all their own, and
Their hunting grounds were the
holes and crevises beneath the stones
or in the water-washed walls of the
lake shore. No such shelter was safe
from their curious fingers, and they ac-
quired such dexterity that when bath
ing they could seize the fish even in
the open water, attracting them by lit
tie arts to which the fish submitted as
to kind of fascination.
Such amusements are no doubt the
delight of many lad who lives in the
country, but they illustrate the unity
of Agassiz' intellectual development
from beginning to end: His pet ami
10 or
which was the task of his life; and his
intimate study of the freshwater fishes
of Europe, later the subject of one of
his important works, began with his
first collection from the Lake of Mo-
rat
AS boy he amused himself also
with all kinds of handicrafts on a
bier, the tailor were then as much de-
veloped in him as the naturalist. In
Swiss villages it was the habit in those
days for the tradespeople' to go from
house to house in their different voca-
tions. The shoemaker came two or
three times a year with all his mate
rials. and made shoes for the whole
family by the day; the tailor came to
fit them for garments which he made
in the house; the cooper arrived before
the vintage to repair old barrels and
hogsheads or to make new ones, and
to replace wern-out hoops; in short, to
fit up the cellar for the coming sea-
son.
Agassiz seems to have profted by
these lessons as much as by those he
learned from his father; and when 6
