SOMEHOW OK OTHEK WE GET
ALONG.
The stood wife bustled about the house, 2
Her face still bright with a pleasant smile.
As broken snatches of happy ong
Strengthened her heart and hand the while.
The good man sat in the chimney nook.
His little clay pipe within his lips, '
And all he'd made and all he'd lost.
Readily and clear on his finger tips.
" Good wife I've juat been thinking a bit.
Nothing has done very well this year,
Money is bound to be hard to get
Everything's bound to be very dear;
How the cattle are going to be fed.
How we're to keep the boys at school,
Is kind of a debt and credit sum
I cap't make balance by my rule."
She turned around from the baking bread.
And she faced him with a cheerful laugh ;
" Why, husband, dear, one would think
That the good, rich wheat was only chaff.
And what if the wheat was only chaff.
As long as we both are well and strong;
I'm not a woman to worry a bit,
Somehow or other we get along.
" Into some lives some rain must fall,
Over all lands the storm must beat.
But when the rain and storm are o'er
The after-sunshine is twice as sweet.
Through every straight we've found a road
In every grief we have found a song.
We have had to bear, and had to wait,
But somehow or other we get along.
" For thirty years we've loved each other.
Stood by each other whatever befell,
Six boys havecall'd us father and mother,
Andall of them living and doing well.
We owe no man a jienny, my dear,
We're both of us loving and well, and strong,
Good man, I wish you'd smoke again.
And think how well we've got along."
He tilled his pipe with a pleasant laiiirh ;
He kissed his wife with a tender pride ;
He said, "I'll do as you tell me, love,
I'll just oouut up the other side."
She left him wi:h his better thought,
And lifted her work with a low, sweet song;
A song that followed me many a year,
Somehow or other, we get along.

A TRI E STORY.
A family whom we shall call Stein
lived in Cierruany near the famous
river Rhine. This was in the time
of Napoleon. During the wars bet
ween Germany and France they were
alternately subject to the one or the
other country. When the (verman
arms were victorious Germany
claimed their allegiance : when Na
poleon carried off the victor's crown
they immediately became French
subjects.
Tins unhappy etate of anairs soon
reduced the well to do family to ex
treme poverty, makinp; it necessary
for the white haired father to be
come a day laborer in order to keep
the wolf from the door, and forcing
the irood woman to turn washer
woman that she might do her ptrt
toward; keeping Uie traditional pot
boiling.
Their eldest Bon Franz, a bright,
ambitious lad, who for one short,
happy year, had been allowed to at
tend the village school, mutt needs
go to work also, that he, too, might
help alone. Although a cruel tate
thus thrust him from the school
room, it could not bar the doors of
knowledge, and accordingly each
night found the ambitious Franz be
side the little garret window, when
the "moon was at the full for he
could afford no other light indus
triously poring over his much belov
ed books.
One fine day when the father was
busy sowing seed, anh had given
Franz a sack of seed grain to plant,
and the lad had gone to one of the
trenches to put his seed in, the
schoolmaster came along, and, tak
ing the father aside, began speaking
to him in a very earnest and confi
dential manner.
This Franz could perceive, al
though he was too far distant to
overhear a single word of the conver
sation, rearing the mater had
come to report some tale detrimental
to himself, which might possiblven-
title him toa thrashing for in those
days the elders had faith in the rod
and never failed to wield it, be it for
the mischievous pranks or the grave
offense Franz crawled near the
speakers, taking good care the while
to keep well hid in the ditches and
bushes along the way. If the master
was Fpeakiri ill of him it were cer
tainly better that he should hear it,
for he is forearmed who is lore
warned," thought Franz : but to his
surprise and great joy the conversa
tion to which he listened when he
got within hearing distance was very
different from what his fears had
prepared him for.
lhe schoolmaster could he be
lieve his ears was actually urging
the father to send Franz back to
school, for "he is a bright lad," said
he.
Rut the father sadly replied that
it was impossible, that they were
very poor now, and the lad must
henceforth help to earn his bread.
Then theschoolmafter sighed and
said :
It is a pity, there is certainly
something in the lad, he would sure
ly make his mark in the world if he
but had an education.'
The father only shook his head,
and declared it was not to be thought
of.
Franz crawled back to the trench
es and mechanically went to work.
How the seed got into the ground
that day he never knew, for a wild
joy thrilled his being ana Dngni
fancies filled his brain, and ever be
fore his eyes gleamed the words, "he
would sorely make his mark in the
world if he but bad an education."
An education he then and there
determined to have. So while the
handa went on working, working,
working, the head went on thinking,
thinking, thinking and by the time
the tasks ot the day were finished
Franz had resolved to go to the great
citv.
'There I can certainly earn money I
and when I have money the rest!
will be easy,' he reasoned.
At first bis parents tried to dis-
suade him when informed of his
! ambitious plans ; he was so young
! and inexperienced, they argued, he
would scarcely be able to earn his
bread, to say nothing of so expensive
' a thing as an education.
: 'Why. voa will certainly starve,
j or worse still, go to the poor house,' j
I exclaimed the good mother. '
set
KSTl13L1SHKJ3, 1827.
SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 24, 1S83.
Nothing daunted, however, Franz
persistently begged:
'Let me go and try.' "
So at last the father and mother
consented, and bade him 'God
speed.' With one dollar in his pocket,
earned by hours of toil, two shirts,
washed, ironed and carefully mend
ed by the thrifty mother, tied up in
his pocket handkerchief, his best
suit of clothes upon his back, bis
hob nailed shoes in his hand for
leather wears out, you know, though
stone cut flesh will mend he bade
farewell to home and set out upon
his journey. Out of the cottage
doorway framing the loved ones that
wayed him a last farewell, down the
lane, out into the country road
trudged the lad, with the rich brain9
and poor purse, but not alone, for
though invisible to mortal ken, on
each side of him walked a Shining
Presence. !
When hungry, Franz invariably
stopped at some cottage by the way
side and politely asked lor broken
victuals ; in return for these he per
formed some service for the house
wife. When the nights were fine he
slept beneath the stars; when stormy,
he crept into Bome friendly barn, and
upon the hay therein slept as sweet
ly as upon thistle down. Thus in
due time he reached Frankfort,
which city was his destination. As
it was late in the evening when he
entered the city, it was necessary to
immediately seek a night's lodging.
Country boy that he was, he knew
enough of the world to understand
that his chances for obtaining honest
employment to-morrow would be far
greater if he were respectably housed
over night. But hew was this to be
managed with his slender purse?
How, indeed !
'I shan't sleep out doors till I've
tried to sleep in,' thought Franz, as
he stepped briskly forward, nearing
one of the inns which proclaimed in
flaming colors, 'entertainment for
man and beast.'
The drivers of the various stages
that in those days ran in and out
of Frankfort stopped at these cheap
er boarding houses, and Franz, hope
fully of the alert, soon found an op
portunity to lend a helping hand to
one of these men, for which kindly
turn the man allowed him to share
his night's loilging.
A few pennies procured his sim
ple breakfast the next morning, after
eating which, he set. out in quest of
something to do wereby to earn
money that silver wand that was
to open for him the doors of knowl
edge. Up ar.d down the streets of Frank
fort he trudged, offering his services
to "butcher and baker and candle
stick maker." but nobody in all the
town seemed to need his assistance,
and the poor lad would have yielded
to despair had it dt been for the
two Shining Presences that never de
serted him. but walked one on each
side, filling his heurt with the light
of hope.
Towards noon he passed a com
fortable dwelling house, in the door
way of which stood a white hrdred
gentleman. Something in his kind
ly face encouraged the lad to turn
and speak to the gentleman and ask
for work.
'What can you do, can you shave?'
for the cheery faced man was a doc
tor, and in Germany the doctors are
also leechers, chemists, barbers and
surgeons.
'I can learn,' promptly answered
b ratiz.
'H'mJCome this afternoon; per
haps 1 may hud something tor you
to do.'
Full of hope, Franz walked away,
but only a little distance from the
house, which he furtively eyed until
he saw the doctor eo inside and
shut the door. Then he instantly
retraced his steps, and seating him
self upon the curbstone, watched the
windows, through which he could
see into the rooms, and thus observe
when the doctor had finished his
dinner, for 'after dinner he will rest
and smoke awhile.' thought F'ranz.
Rut he did not, and accordingly the
impatient lad again presented him-
st Is at the doctor's door, reminding
him :
You told me to cull thi3 afternoon,
sir.'
'Oil ah ! I don't think I've any
thing for you to do.'
Poor F'ranz! He was too stunned
to speak or turn away. It was a cru
el fall from hope to despair, and the
effects were plainly visihle in the
lad "s limp figure and blanched face.
Perhaps that is why the good wife
came quickly forward with :
'It the boy come. I have plenty
for him to do.'
'Well, well,' said the cheery doc
tor, 'if that is so, come in, lad, come
in,' and Franz came in and immedi
ately went to work, making himself
quite useful, indeed, performing the
simplest or the more important du
ties faithfully and well.
One evening, being much too wea
ry, yet extremely anxious to read up
an article relative to a case he was
treating, the doctor bade Franz to
read the article to him. The boy
obeyed, reading it not only well, but
with manifest interest This led the
doctor to question him.
'Where did you learn so much?'
he finally asked, amazed at the boy's
ready answers.
'At the village school and during
spare moments,' replied Franz.
'Who knows ? you may yet be an
M. D.,' half seriously, half jestingly
said the doctor.
'Who knows ?' thought this am
bitious lad, but he said nothing.
Time wore on, and the good doc
tor permitted Ftanztoread his med
ical works, and after awhile he took
the boy with him to assist in the
dressing of wounds.
Going to visit a patient one day
they passed the medical college of
Frankfort
'If I cculd only get in there,'
sighed Franz.
'That is impossible,' declared the
doctor. 'This college is for the resi
dents of r rankfort, and you are not
a resident, Franz.'
'You can get me there,' the boy
ured, and so importunate was he
that his kind benefactor at last gave
him a note to one of the professors,
a friend ot his. Franz, dressed in
his best, presented himself before
the professor, who, having read the
note, eyed the lad curiously, and
with an amused smile asked :
'What can you do here? Your
preliminary education is deficient
and, my lad you have no money
with which to pay your board.'
Franz stoutly replied :
'I can study and prepare myself,
sir, and as for board, I'll work for it,
I am used to work.'
Then the professor opened the
door of the study hall and bade him
look in upon the well dressed stu
dents. Ah! he understood, and
turned away.
'If I had good clothes I could then
be admitted,' he cried, with a down
ward glance at his pants that had
not kept pace with the growing boy
his heavy shoes well filled with
nails his well worn jacket
'If I had good clothes I could then
be admitted,' he bitterly cried, and
the doctors good wife nodded her
head knowingly, and cheerily bade
him 'wait and see.'
Then she hurried off up stairs, up
into the little garret where stood a
jreat chest. This the opened, and
took from its depths a suit of clothes.
A tear fell upon the garments as she
unfolded them.
'Robbie was just his age when''
a moment's hesitation a smothered
sob then bravely 'the lad deserves
them and shall hav them,' and the
good soul hastened down ctairs
bearing the nice suit to the despair
ing Franz.
'I think they'll fit' she said, gent
ly, 'dress yourself in them, Franz,
and try again.'
They did, indeed, fit as if they had
been fashioned for him, and dressed
thus, Franz again presented himself
before the professor. This time be
wa9 bidden quite respectfully, 'Sit
down, sir ;' before he was allowed to
stand.
Of course he was now admitted to
the college. This brave, ambitious
boy worked for his board, as he
agreed to do ; lie also renden-il ser
vices of various kinds to the stu
dents, for which he received some
small remuneration. These little
sums of money were laid away to
purchase the necessary books with ;

with miserly care, a few pennies
were now and th-n taken that a
letter misht ?o to the humble cot
tage on the Rhine, and the answer

to the son, who was striving so hard
to train an education.
Time passed, and the boy, now
become a man, not only gained an
education, but did indeed verify the
words of the schoolmaster 'he made
his mark in the world.'
To-day he lives in America, the
land of great possibilities, lives rich,

Throw up Your Chin.
The whole secret of standing and
walking erect consists in keeping the
chin well away from your breast
This throws the head upward and
backward and the shoulders will
naturally settle backward and in
their true postion. Those who stoop
in walking generally look down
ward. The proper way is to look
straight ahead upon the same level
with your eyes, or if you are inclined
to stoop until that tendency is over
come look rather above than below
the level. Mountaineers are said to
be "as straight as an arrow," and
the reason is because they are ob
liged to look upward so much. It
is simply impossible to stoop in
walking if you will heed and prac
tice this rule. You will notice that
all round shouldered persons carry
the chin near the breast and point
ed downward.
A New Flavor. A gentleman
who has an ofiice in New street was
up the river on business a few days
ago, and waiting at the depot for his
train, stepped across the stseet and
sat down to a dish of ice cream.
Three tastes and a nibble satisfied
him, and as he paid for the stuff he
said to the old lady behind the
countef :
"Madam, you can improve that
ice cream fifty per cent at a slight
cost"
"Why, how?"
"Add a quart of soft soap to each
imperial gallon of cream, nnd stir in
a little vinegar as you serve it"
"My stars ! I'll try that recipe
the very next batch that I make."
And she probably did.
Two lovers in Milwaukee agreed

HISTORICAL. SKETCH
Of the Sixteenth Judicial IMstrtct of
Pennsylvania.
The district was constituted by
an Act of Assembly approved the
'J'Jth of March, 1824, and was com.
posed of the counties of Franklin,
Bedford and Somerset. The Gover
nor was authorized to appoint a
President Jndi The terms of
Court as fixed bv this act were for
F'ranklin, 2nd Mondays of January,
April, August and November, to
continue two weeks if neces
sary. For Bedford, 4th Mondays of Jan
uary, April, August and November,
to continue one week.
For Somerset, the Mondays follow
ing those in the countv of Bed
ford. John Andrew Shultze was then
Governor. He appointed and com
missioned John Todd, esq., of Bed
ford, as President Judge of the
District.
Judge Todd presided until the2Sth
of May, 1S27. He was then ap
pointed a Judge of the Supreme
Court to succeed John Bannister
Gibson, who bad on the 10th of that
month been appointed Chief Justice
in place of Chief Justice Tighlman,
deceased.
Judge Todd was born and reared
in Connecticut. He came to Bedford
in the year 1WX). He taught
school for a year or two and was
admitted to the Bar in 1803. He
was a Democrat in politics, and was
to a certain extent ostracised
socially by the persons who
then claimed to lead and give
tone to society in Bedford, who
were Federalists. ' He served
as Clerk to the County Commis
sioners in IS06 and represented
Bedford county in the House of Rep
resent dives of Pennsylvania from
1S10 to 1.S13, and was twice Speaker
of the house. He also t-erved a term
in the Senate of Pennsylvania aid
was Speaker of the Senate in the
sessions of 1814-13 and 1S15-16.
He afterwards served a term in Con
gress. He was for many years the
lending lawyer of the Bedford Bar
and pains-taking, methodical, and
industrious. He resided for a num
ber of years in the weather-boarded
log house which yet stands oa
the public square opposite the Court
House, and is now owned by
Moses A. Points, Esq. Judge
Todd died in March, 1SG0.
aged 50 years, and is buried in the
Presbyterian graveyard at Bedford.
He was married to Miss Hanna, of
Harrisburg, and left three children,
daughters, one of whom married
Judgtj Samuel Gilmore.anotber John
II. Briggs' esq., of Harrisburg, and
the third Mr. Kerr, of Harrisburg.
Ilia opinions as a Judge of the
Supreme Court are found in the 16th
and 17th Sergeant jk. Rawle's Re
ports, and in 1st and 2d Rawle."
He was a public spirited citizen
and was largely instrumental in re
pairing the Bedford Water works
about the year 1824 and in bringing
the water from theFpring that is lo
cated on the hill above the house
now occupied by Mr. Peck on the
Bedford Spring's property. The
pipes used were pine logs, and the
water ran free to all from several
running pumps located in different
part of the village.
It is said that young Todd came to
Bedford without a shilling, carrying
his pack upon his back that he
pledged his only pair of silk stock
ings for his supper, lodging and
breakfast, at the tavern at Bloody
Run, the night before his arrival.
Those were the days ot knee breech
es and silk stockings on dress occa
sions. He kept a precise and minute ac
count of his receipts and expendit
ures, monthly. When I was read
ing law in 1843, his papers, which
had been in a case in the commis
sioner's office, were moved into the
entry of the court house and became
scattered about. I remember to
have picked up one of his account
books of the year 1S16, or therea
bouts, which showed that many of
his professional fees were one and
two and three dollars, and it was
only now and then, and rather rare
ly, that he got a fee of ten dollars.
An illustration of how soon the
memory of a man of prominence
and importance in bis day and gen
eration fades out and becomes al
most entirely obscured, occurred in
Bedford three or four years ago, in
connection with the name of Judge
Todd. A stranger inquired at the
hotels and stores and houses gener
ally in the centre of the town, and of
the persons whom he met on the
streets where he could find the grave
of Judge Todd. He was unable to
find an individual who knew that
such a person had ever lived in Bed
ford, or who had ever heard of him
at all.
Judge Todd was succeeded by Al
exander Thompson, who presided as
Judge from August 1827 till Novem
ber 1841. Judge Thompson was ad
mitted to practice at Bedford in
1817 and resided for some years in
Bedford. He died at Chambersburg
in 1S47 and is buried there in the
beautiful grave yard of the Falling
Spring Presbyterian Church, on the
banks of the Lonacocheague the
Westminster Abbey of Chambers
burg-. He was the father of Dr.
Thompson, of Frostburg, Maryland,
lately deceased, and of Frank
Thompson, Vice President of the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
Judge Thompson's term expired
(under the limitation of the consti
tution of 1838.) on the 1st of Janua
ry 1842. He was succeeded by Jer
emiah Sullivan Black of Somerset,
who was nominated by Gov. David
R. Porter and confirmed by the Sen
ate in Jan. 1842. He presided as
Judge until 1852.
Judge Black was born the 10th of
January, 1810, on the farm of his
father Henry Black, situated about
eight miles east of Somerset, so that
he was nearly 32 years of age at the
time of his appointment He was
admitted to the Bar at Somerset in
1831, and at Bedford in 1832. He
differed from his father in politics.
His father was a Federalist and after
wards a Whig. He was elected
Judge of the Supreme Court in the
fall of 1351, along with John Ban
nister Gibson, Ellis Lewis, Walter
Lowrie and Richard Coulter; all
WHOLE NO. 1GS4.
Democrats except Coulter, who was a
Whig.
His election was by virtue of the
change in the constitution in 1S5,
which made the judiciary elective.
Under the constitution of 1790 judg
es were appointed by the Governor
and confirmed by the Senate, and
held office for life, if they so long
behaved themselves well, dum bene
gesseret, as the commission ran.
The constitution of 1838 limited the
term to 15 years, but did not make
the office elective. The amendment
of 1850 made the judiciary elective.
In 1S51 a full bench was elected and
they were to decide their terms by
lot; one was to go out every three
years. Judge Black drew the short
term, and immediately became Chief
Justice.
Judge Black was re-elected to
the Supreme bench in 1854 for a
term of fifteen years. He resigned
March 4th, 1857. to go into Presi
dent Buchanan's cabinet as Attorney
General.
His opinions as Judge of the Su
preme Court are found in the Penn'a.
State Reports from 4th Harris to
5th Casey.
As a master of clear, strong, con
cise English he had no superior on
the Bench. Judge Lewis and he
differed and disliked each other.
Judge Woodward, who succeded
Gibson on the Bench in 152, took
sides with Lewis, while Black was
supported by Lowrie and Knox
(who had succeeded Coulter.)
It was probably because of this
unpleasantness that Black Itft the
Supreme Bench, for which he seem
ed to be so well suited, and went into
Buchanan's cabinet
His successor a.s President Judge
was Francis M. Kimmell, of Somer
set, who was elected by the people in
Uie Fall of 1S51. Mr. Kiiumeil had
been a Whig prior to the time of this
canvass, w m. Lvon, or ienora,
was the Whig nominee. Somerset
county revolted from the nomina
tion and Mr. Kimmell was sui-
ported as an independent candidute
by the Democrats, wh n-ade no
nomination, and by ti e liis of
Somerset, and was elected by a con
siderable majority.
He was admitted to the bar at
Somerset in 18-10 and at Bedford i:i
18-11. He had previously to his ad
mission been clerk in the Recorder.

He was born at Berlin, in Somerset
county in 1817, and was 34 years of
age when he went upon the Bench.
He served one term often year, and
at the expiration of his term located
at Chambersburg, in the practice of
the law, where he has resided since.
Ah an advocate he has fewsnperiors.

Judge Kimmell was succeeded by
James Nill, of Chambersburg, who
was elected in 1SC1, as a Republi
can, defeating Wilson Reillv, the
Democratic nominee. He died in
1SG4, and is buried at Chambers
burg. He was a pains-taking, care
ful lawyer and an honest judge, but
was well advanced in years when he
went upon the bench, so that his
natural force was abated by age.
Alexander King was elected bi
successor in lx4, and died in Janua
ry, 1871, and is buried in the ceme
tery at Bedford. He was horn in
Huntingdon county, Pa., in 1S ."".

Academy, read law at Huntingdon,
and was admitted to the bar at Bed
ford in 1824, and was 59 vears of
age when he went upon the Bench
He was a well read lawyer, of clear
and strong logical mind, and com
manded the respect and esteem o:
the public. His son and namesake
is a prominent and successful law
yer at the Bedford Bar.
The business of thedistrict havine
increased, and undisposed-of cases
having accumulated, an act was
passed in 1G8 authorizing an addi
tional Law Judge. David Watson
Rowe of Chambersburg was elected
to this position in 1808. Jude
liowe was born al ureencastie.

served as Lieut. Colonel of the
Regiment in the nine month's ser
vice of the war for the suppression
of the rebellion.
William Maclay Hall succeeded
Judge Kir.g as President Judge by
appointment of Governor Geary, in
January, 1871, and was elected bv
the people for a full term m the fall
of that year. Judge Hail was born

1828, graduated at Marshall College,
Mercersburg, Pa., in 184G, read law

the Constitution of 15. Judge

tie bad been for many years prior
to his election as Judge one of the
leadine lawyers of the Somerset bar
and was noted as a public spirited
citizen who aided much in the im
provement Somerset county.
It is a noteworthy fact that Judges
Black. Kimmell and Baer were born
within a circuit of three miles, and
that thev all rose from the middle
walks of life, without collegiate edu
cation.
Prior to 1824 Bedford county was,
from the year 1SCC, a part of the 4th
Judicial District composed of the
counties of Mifflin, Centre, Hunting
don and Bedford, by virtue of an act
passed February 24, 1806. From
1818 to 1824, Charles Huston of
Bellefonte, waa President Judge of
the 4th District. lie afterwards be
came a JudgB of the Supreme Court
He and Judge Burnside, who suc
ceeded b'n as President Judge and
who afterwards became a Supreme
Judge, were married to sisters, and
hated each other cordially
Before Judne Huston! Jonathan
Hays Walker presk'ed as Judge of
the 4th District. He was born in
L;irit Pennsboro township, Cumber
land county, Pennsylvania, in 175T,,
aud was educated at Dickinson Col
lege, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, then a
Presbyterian institution, and gradu
ated in 1787, and read Jaw with Ste
phen Duncan, of Carlisle, father of
Thomas Duncan, a Judge of the
Supreme Court He married Mr.
Duncan's daughter, Lucretia, and
settled at Northumberland, Pennsyl
vania, where he began th practice
of law. On the formation of the 4th
J udicial District, in 18t3, he was ap
pointed Judge, and moved to Belle
fonte, and afterwards to Hunting
don and finally to Bedford about the
year 1810. He lived in the house
now owned and occupied by John
Hafer on West Pitt street In 1S18
he was appointed by President Mon
roe, Judge of the U. S. District Court
of Western Pennsylvania, and went
to Pittsburg, in which ofiice he con
tinued until his death in 1824, at
Natchez, Mississippi, where he was
on a visit, to his son. He was the
father of Robert James Walker, U.
S. Senator from Mississippi, and Sec
retary of the Treasury in President
Polk's administration. Judge Walk
er was six feet four inches tall, and
his wife was unusually short of stat
ure, so that in walking together she
had to reach up to take his arm. A
grand daughter of Judge walker, and
daughter of Robert J. Walker, is
married to Beiijamin 11. Brewuter,
Attorney General of the United
States. Whilst on the bench at Bed
ford, Judge Walker read in open
court a very singular letter ot apolo
gy addressed to Jacob Bonnett, and
ordered it to be entered on record.
It is found in the case of the Com
monwealth vs. Jacob Bonnett and
Isaac Bonnett. in Quarter Sessions
Dixket No. 3, November Sessions
1-3U8, and is one of the curiosities of
legal literature.
Under the Act of 1SU President
Judges were paid SljOO per annum.
This salary was afterwards increased
to $2,000 and pincethe war to $3,500
and finally to $4000. This increase
is apparent rather than real, the
purchasing power of the salary of
s i,") does not exceed that of S1.C0O

The first law Judge who presided
ia Bedford county was James Rid

pointed uuder the Constitution of
1790.

One of the I'.uiurkable features of
President Arthur's tour of the Yel
lowstone !t!-d Wyoming territory
w.:s the regularity with which he
received dispatches and r.ew3 from
tl'e outside -world. Although hun
dr ilrt of ini'e-t in th wi!dernes for
weeks he was in daily receipt of cur
rent i'lforinatioa. This, was made
possible by ,i line of couriers estab
lished by Colonel Clark, and rtin
nirg from Fort Elli., a telegraph'
station near the Northern Pacific,"
ami the Presidential camp wherever
located. A courier would tike bis
bag, mount his horse and ride
twenty five miles on a dead gallop.
At the end of that distance a camp
was located. Within a quarter oLa
mile from the camp the horseman
would yell like au Indian. It was
the signal for the second courier to
mount his fresh saddle horse. As
the first rider reached the camp he
threw his mail bag to the second
man who was off in a flash not an
instant beingoccupied in the change.
And then at regular distances of
twenty five miles the performance
was repeated. A correspondent says
'I happened at a courier's carnp
while the dispatch was expected.
On the trail stood a fine lay horse
saddled and bridled and eager, ap
parently for his long run. Suddenly
upon the air sounded a piercing
shriek which echoed down the moun
tain gorges like a piteous wail. In
an instant the courier was in his
saddle and a moment later a wear
ied, foaming horse came madly
around the bend in the road. Then
the dispatch bag was thrown out and
the soldier dashed away on hi9
twenty fivi mile journey. Colonel
Clark told me that there had not
been a failure in the prompt deliv
ery of the President's mail and dis
patches and that Mr. Arthur had
complimented him upon the excel
lence of the eervice. I do not see
how he could have done otherwise.
It w:is really a remarkable piece of
work to be kept up continuously for
thirty davs.
Ingenious Vnnnp; -Women.
Monday there was a big excursion
from the collar shops to Saratoga.
Hundreds of Troy's pretty young
ladies went to Saratoga.
The sky threatened rain.
The younr: ladies wore bustles.
Perhaps there was no connection
between the threatening sky and
the bustles and perhaps there wa3.
Shortly after the excursionists
reached Saratoga the rain began to
pour. Many of the young ladies
with their escorts were seated in the
parlor of the hotel when the rain
began to fall. The prospect was
dismal as viewed from the hotel
windows. Within it seemed sad,
too. The airy and tasty dresses of
the excursionists must be spoiled
by a venture on the street Um
brellas were few ami far between and
there seemed an entire dearth of out
side coverings.
But witness the ingenuity of the
young ladies of the day.
As if by preconcerted action the
young ladies arose one after anoth
er and left the parlor.
In a tew minutes they returned.
All wore gossamer cloaks.
But the bustles were gone.
Though numerous causes may
