Yesterday Judge Kelly the respected ex-JUdge
OF the Court of Special Sessions and Yorkve
Police Court, was taken quite by surprise by being
asked to meet Judge Bowling at the Judges private
room at the Special Sessions Court. On entering
he found Judge Bowling, and after pleasant
chat-the morning court having adJourned-Judge
Bixby and all the attaches or the court nocked H.
and with cordial shake OF the hand OF Judge Kelly
did something towards showing the warmth OF
their regard.


1t was evident that there a conspiracy OF some
SORT but what it was was not very clearly revealed
until


Judge Dowling arose and said-


Judge KKLLYI selected by tho attaches Of this

entertain towards and the great respect felt by them
towards whis acting Justice In the Special Sessions
They take very great pride In doing because you arc
not In the same Official position that were last year
Any little outward show Of their regard would have looked
like seeking for avors Nov such construction can be
put upon their motives for have retired from public fe
vision. Therefore they feel that they make this present
with very good grace and that win understood be-
what really s free will Offering of those who hope
always to deserve to have the privilege of friendship
Judge Bowling then handed Judge Kelly gold
watch and chain, and said to the Judge In handing

heavy weather, but the little bark bore
herself nobly, and the men themselves
expressed surprise that she rode the
heavy gales so staunchlY. She was


LEAKING ALL THE WAY,


and the pumps, of which they have
two, were kept at work constantly. In
the severe gale of last Saturday. they
experienced the hardest time of the
voyage, but suffered no disaster, save
the carrying away OF the iigger boom
The largest number of miles made in
one day was enc hundred and fifty
three. which was made in the first part
of. the voyage, aud the smallest eleven
miles, The average speed was four
knots an hour. A number of vessels
were spoken on the voyage, among
which were the bark Radcliffe, on the
2Sth of June. bound to Quebec; the
ship Moxwell, August 8, and the
homeward bound steamer Russia on the
24th of August From the first of these
.wo they took in supplies of provisions
and water! Two whales were very
neighborly off Cape Clear, coming near
enough to be touched with the hand,
and giving the voyngers some alarm lest
they should upset their trail ship. One
of Mother Carey's chickens attended
them from the time they left Queens
town till they passed Georges Bank.
The men say that they had the most
perfect confidence IN the success Of
their enterprise, aud in the roushest
gale could go to sleep with the greatest
compo<ure. Only the siateness of the
season prevents them from returning
home as they came. Their original in-
tention was to go direct to New York,
but they concluded to put into this port,
and will go from here to the former
place, and will remain this side of the
Atlantic till another summer. They
were towed to Long Wharf by the tug,
aud there can be seen this smallest of
all crafts that ever traverscd the broad
Atlantic.

The Messenger thinks one of the
most absurd performances of the times
is the manner in which people at pub
lie meeting sack religion. 1t says:


Excited seekers are agonizing and
shouting and praying for faith without
any we'll defined notion of the fact or
facts to be believed. the evidence upon
which they rest. The spiritual guide
at such meetings Is generally boisterous
and sometimes. impnlent, if not ire
weren't, in reminding the Lord that He
has made certain promises aud requir-
ing and almost commanding Him to
come down now, aud fulfill them.


Will the Messenger be kind enough
to inform US, as to the correct aud sure
way to seek pardon, and how we can
bring about regeneration, aud new
birth in a respectable manner, the end
of which shall be Heaven.

HOW TO BREAK OFF BAD HABITS.
Understand the reason, and all the
reasons, why the habit is injurious
Study the subject till there is no ling
eripg doubt in your mind. Avoid the
places, the persons and the thoughts
that lead to the temptation. Frequent
the places, associate with the persons,
indulge the thoughts that lead away
from temptation. Keep busy idleness
is the strength of bad habits. DO not
give up the struggle when you have
broken your resolution once, twice, ten
times, thousend times. That only
shows how much need there is for you
to strive. When you have broken your
resolution. just think the matter over,
and cndeavor to understand why it
was you failed, SO that you may be upon
your guard against recurrence of the.
same circumstances Do not think il d
little or easy thing that you have under
taken Il is folly to expect to break off
o habit in day, which may have been
gathering strength in you for many
years.

The following is an extraordinary un-
speakable " case OF the part of woman


There is a woman in the town of Har-
mony, Ohio county, who has not spoken to
her husband IN twenty-one years. In the
year 1S49 her husband contradicted her
harshly in the presence of company, and
she threatened that if he didn't behave bet
ter toward her she never would speak to
him again. He retorted that he wished
she wouldn't, and she has not since then
spoken to him They have continued to
live together peacefully, and during the
long silence have had several children.
Everything goes on at their house as usual
with farmers The husband is attentive,
and does his conversing with his wife
through one of his children. For instance,
he will ask child at the table, "Will
your mother have some more meat ?" Or
at another time, Is your mother going
to town with me to-day ?" The family is
wealthy, and belongs to the better class
of farmers.

HALLS Journal Of Health gives the fol-
lowing good suggestion:


can erect gait gives to woman
queenly appearance, and to men an air of
manliness, integrity and fearlessness To
bend forward or downward while walking
indicates debility, depression or mental
trouble, and always aggravates itself and
promotes disease. Pads and supports are
all pernicious, and are worse than useless,
because they teach the system to rely on
them, and cannot support one part OF the
body without causing an unnatural strain
on some other part, and, to that extent,
tend to disease that part. There is always
one easily available and successful method
of acquiring an erect, manly gait, without
any material effort, or feeling of awkward
ness. Let the chin be little above hori-
zontal line, which is easily done by keep
ing the eye fixed on the top of some per-
sons hat or bonnet in front of you. The
habit of this erect carriage may be facilita-
ted by accustoming yourself, when at home,
in the garden, or other places, to walk with
the hands behind, held in one another and
the head thrown up, as is done in smoking
cigar or singing tune"

EFFECT OF RAILROADS ON TIE WEATHER.
The opinion seems to be gaining strength,
that the Pacific Railroad is working great
change in the climate of the Plains In
stead of continuous droughts, all along the
railroad, rain falls in refreshing abundance


This result has been remarked upon in other
sections OF the west. In central Ohio, for


example, it is said the climate has been


completely revolutionized since iron rails
have formed a net work all over that region.
Instead of the destructive droughts formerly
suffered there, for some four or five years
years there has been rain in abundance-even
more than enough to satisfy the wants of
farmers. This change is thought to be the
result of an equilibrium produced in the
electrical currents which has brought about
more uniform dispensation of the rain


1t is fact within the observation of all who
remember ante railroads times, that we have
now few or no such thunder storms as we
formerly had in New England The iron
rails which touch and cross each other in
every direction serve as conductors and
equalizers of the electric currents, and so
prevent the awful explosions which used
to terrify us in former years. The telegraph
ic wires which accompany the iron rails
everywhere, also act an important part in
ditfusng electricity eq ually through the at
mosphere, thus preventing the occurrence
of severe thunder storms. [Boston Traveller.

An item in the journal last week in regard to the
presentation of a Silver Service to Mrs. j. F
Moses by the Bucksport Fire Department, does moi
seem to our narrow minds to be correct, taking
everything into consideration. Very few ofthe mem
bers in the Fire Department knew any thing in re
gard to the affair until it was over, and quite q
number first heard of it through the columns of the
Journal and Whig d Courier


Mr. j. F. Moses is a generous hearted man, as
the members of the Fire Department can testify to
on numerous occasions, and his wife is a lady in
every sense Of the word. The members of both
Companies have not forgotten the night of the fire
at Riders Block, when the hot coffee served to
them from his house, and they would have esteem
ed it privilege to have signed the subscription pa
per for the Silver Service, had it been presented to
them, but by some '.Iocus Pocus" arrangement OF
few individuals, who are laboring under the idea
that they are the Fire Department. it was not pre-
sented to them, and we take this method to explain
our position members Of the Fire Department.

The stream is caimest when it nears the tide,
And flowers the sweetest at the eventide,
And birds most musical at close of day,
And saints divinest when they pass away
Morning is lovelier, but a holer charm
Lies folded close in evenings robes of balm I;
And weary man must ever love her best,
For morning calls TO toll, but night to rest.
Coming from heaven, she on her wings doth
bear


A holy fragrance, like the breath Of prayer;
Footsteps of angels follow in her trace,
To shut the weary eyes of day in peace,
All things are hushed before her as she throws
Ger earth and sky her mantle of repose;
There is calm, a beauty. and power
That morning knows not in the evening
hour.


Until the evening We must weep and toll.
Plow life's stern furrow, dig the weedy soil,
Tread with sad feet our rough and stormy
way,


And bear the heat and burden ofthe day.
Oh when our sun is setting, may we glide
Like summer evening down the golden tide;
And leave behind us when we pass away.
Sweet. starry twilight round our sleeping
clay.

IDAHo.-Readers of the WORLD in the old

new homes In desirable localities for health,
fertility of soil, variety of surface, and with
unsurpassed market facilities at good cash
rates, will do well to give serious attention to
the many advantages and inducements of Idaho
Territory. Farmers, mechanics, mill men and
manufacturers, laborers, and business men of
every kind, will find it well worth while to
make settlements and invest capital in this
young and growing Territory. Perhaps no
part of the United States offers higher and
surer premium to well directed industry in al
most every department of human industry than
this Territory, throughout its whole extent.

1t was the boast of Napoleon Bonaparte that
as Emperor of France he "made one equal law
for all the land" The "Code Napoleon" as it
is still called, constitutes the French system of
Jurisprudence, and has even been adopted as
civil code of law in America; the civil code of
the State of Louisiana being the essential fea.
lures of the Code Napoleon. This was achieved
by an Emperor, under form of government
absolutely monarchical and despotic.


In the free Republic of the United States of
America, on the contrary, under the control
and management of the Republican party, we
have just precisely the contrary condition of
affairs. Instead of zone equal law for all the
land" we have military despotisms in some
sections, citizens disfranchised in other Sec
tions, the rich protected and untaxed all over
the country, and the poorer and the middle
classes oppressed with an increasing burden OF
taxation on nearly everything they eat, drink,
wear and consume, avowedly for the purpose
of making the rich richer and the poor poorer.
The poor man nowhere, in the eye of Radical
aristocrats and shoddyites, has any rights they
are bound to respect. The manned soldier and
the widow and the orphan of those slain upon
the battlefield in their cOuntry's cause are
compelled to pay taxes for the privilege of liv-
ing in free America, while the bondholder, who
has unblushingly swindled the Government to
greater or less extent, is exempted from tax
alton on his wealth, and feted and honored and
toadied to on account of his wealth Under
Democratic rule the burdens of government
were justly and equitably divided and borne by
all. Until the Republican party, in an evil
hour for the people, the country, and the cause
of human right and freedom, obtained the ad-
ministration of affairs in our national govern
ment, we, too, had lone equal law for all the
land" When the people shall have patiently
submitted to every species of wrong, oppres-
sion, exaction aud extortion. long enough, and
these mercenary, corrupt and fanatica leaders
of the Radical party shall be notified to give
place to the pure, the honest, the patriotic and
Democratic political element in our national
halls of government, we shall again have - enc
equal law for all the land" Then, and not till
then, will this country, at home and abroad.
occupy the true, high, and prosperous position
and condition which of right is hers.

We take the following from the Oregon Her
aid of February 18TH The decision is one of
interest to everybody who pays the income tax
The case was tried in Philadelphia: "a ss..s


The case of George Doll, of the firm of Geo.
Doll q Co., importers of fancy goods, on a
writ of hdbe0s corpus, to be discharged from
arrest because of a refusal to deliver his books
to the T.. S. Assessor, was heard yesterday.
Mr.. Sharpless, for the defendant, made the fol-
lowing points, which are of interest to every
merchant:


First-That the 10th section of the act of
June Both, 1864, under which the income tax
is levied, is unconstitutional and void, as un.
dertaking to levy capitation, or ut all events
direct tax, by The rule Of uniformity, and not
that of apportionment.


SecOnd-That so much of the fourteenth
section of the same act as invests the Assessor
with power to compel citizen, who has once
made his return of income under oath, to pro-
duce his books and give evidence in regard to
the same after its correctness has been chal-
lenged by the officer, is unconstitutional and
void. as infringing upon the provision OF article
fifth, amendments of 1889, Constitution OF the
United States: "Nor shall any person
be compelled in any criminal case to be wit
ness against himself"


Third-That the power sought to be con-
ferred upon the Assessor by the last section Is
really the Judicial power of the United
States" which, by the Constitution, can only
be exercised by Judges holding their Offices for
terms of good behavior, and not by officers who
are removable at any moment, probably at the
discretion of the President, certainly at that
of the President and Senate.


Fourth-That the proceedings authorized by
the same section are an Infringement of the
citizens constitutional right of trial by jury
in every criminal case. The Federal Legisla-
ture cannot create new criminal offence un-
known to the common law or our statute law
at the time of the adoption Of the Constitution,
and which was not then punishable by ''attach-
ment as for contempt" and provide for its
ascertainment now by any other than the Or
dinary machinery of trial by jury at common
law.


Fifth-The extraordinary remedies provided
by the same section are not to be used in reas-
sessing income duties; if there is occasion to
reassess them, it is to be done under the l1oth
section of the same act, which contains no pro-
vision for an attachment as for contempt"


Sixth-If the FIVE preceding points are de-
cided against us, the proceedings here are SO
radically defective and hopelessly incurable
that the relator must be discharged


At the close of the argument, Judge Cadwal-
ader, without hesitation, discharged Mr. Doll.
