HIS HONOR THE JUDGE. TIic itsn- of the SUU" vs. Johu Lull' was tlte tiem rion of tbmlay when I htmlt'il in Silverton. My visit lo this rotiph iiiinintow n wa.-. t nmttor if biiKinpss, and I was Honewhat annoypit to find thttt tlic ptntpli wenj in clined to Utlk of nothinj? but the killing of Henry Saxon ami ihc trial of T is umr I tr. Rut the Mtory of the crime intort'Kkl ntc in spite of linx-lC The nurdcr had a.riirr"l in tin' Metrojohum Hotel, the very c. use "in which 1 hu.l engajjo,! a ro mi for a wek. The ttcone of the killing was the room next to mine. .Several days before my arrival the rrvuLi was oooupieel by JoJ.u Luff ami Henvy Sux ii, tw well-known Hj)riir. men, wini ltad been inukinj; Sil AiT'ou their head'juarte (lurin-r the winter. Tire two were chums, but tiome tiu.es I hey quarreled in their cups, and it was no uncommon thing for them to fioht After adjusting their dift '.t nces, however, they generally tumbled into the same lied and slept like brothers. Their last quarrel hud a Cttal termina tion. After a bout w ith their fists in the hotel olliee they retired to their room. Later in the night a loud shout caused several of the guests to rush in, and they saw a sMct!icle that fro.se their blood. On the bed was stretched the lifeless form of Saxon, with acriinsoit current gushing from his breast. I!v his side stood I.nff, one hand still bloody, and his manner U-traying ungovernable: fear and excitement. The iMlverton miners and tradesmen were not long in coming to a conclusion. The coroner's jury made it out a cast; of willful murder, and fastened the guiit upon Luff. It was in vain that LufTex tiresHod his horror. He declared that some one had entered the room. Awak- Saxon und felt the warm bhaai Uoing from the wound. Springing to his feet he turned on the liht, and w lien he saw his dripping band ami the dead lwaly of his friend, he pave a frenzied cry for help. f course, nolKidy believed this story. To make the matter worse, a small dag ger lielonging to I.nfT was missing from its usual place on the mantel. It was only too evident that the murderer had , stabUsl his friend to the heart w ith this weapon, and had then concealed it. The room was searchd, but the dagger could not be fonnd. iMibtless Lull' had throw n it into the street, where it had lteen picked up by some person at present unknown. There is little delay aliout frontier jus tice w hen a victim is wanted, and in this instance the whole town clamored for one. Court was in session, and Judge I'ike shared the general excitement. lie was one of the guests at the Mctrojoli- tan, and the fact that his room was oppo site the one in which the murder was committed naturally increased his inter est in the case. With Judge 1 ike on the ln nch there was little doubt covering the result. An indictment was found in no time and the trial opened on the second day of mystay in Silverton. The defendant's attorneys worked for delay. They hojieil that a prot racted trial would have the effect of cooling the hot excitement of the hour. I sjient the first day of the trial in the court house, and watched the defendant closely. Luff had a rather god face. It was weak, but no! vicious, and as I stud ied him, I found myself sympathizing w ith him. That night I had a sin.'tilarexiierienee. After supier 1 sjH-nt a couple of hours in Judge Tike's room, and it did not take nie long to come to the conclusion that his Honor was a very jeculi:ir man. There was something wrong nlamt him. lie could not lie called a crank, but his nerves w ere a little out. of order, and it iR-cum-d to me t hat he wa liable to break down at tny time. It was past midnight when I awoke. T.ie moonlight streamed into my rtami, making every object in it plainly visible. Feeling thirsty, I left my ix-d ami went Ik hind a little screen in one corner of the room, w here the washstand stood, to get a drink of water. While I wus there I heard the door ojien softly. This was not surprising, as the hotel was a rude affair, and very few of the doors were provided with lmks and keys. The thought of Saxon's fate made me a little timid, ami 1 remained quietly lsdiind the screen, awaiting further develop ments. To mv unuterable astonishment, who should enter the door but Judge I'ike. My first impulse wastospcak, but what I saw silenced me. The Judge was in his night clothes. One look at his face con vinced me that he was asleep. In his right baud he carried a dagger. What was I to do with this som nambulist. It would le dangerous to awaken him, I decided to wait and watch. . With stealthy tep the Judge advanc ed to the side of the bed. He felt cati tiousiy with hi left baud until lie felt a bunch in the overing and then, with the rapidity of lightning, he drove his dagger into the bedclothes up to the hilt. He did not tarry flecond, but quietly van ished from the nxim, closing the door af ter him. ' . As Boon as I conld I barricaded the door with several pieces of furniture. Then I sat down to think the matter over. If the jndge was artomnatnbulist, there w as no telling what he mightdo. Worse Somerset SOMERSET. than that, there wp- no telling what he "i id.already done. I thought of the Luff case. Could it be jatssible thit Judge I'ike, in one of his sleef-Hlking fits, had killed Saxon ? It looked very much like it. And the dagger? IVrhajw it whs Luffs missing j woKpon. "I will make this thing public," T said to myself, and I proceeded to dress. j liut I soon changed my mind. My un i supported testimony would not be re I garded. Judge Tike was a grave, digni j tied man, past middle age, and he was j greath' respected by the miners. It would i Ie folly on my part to tell any one of my j adventure. j The second day of tho trial develojK'd a strong case against Luff ; us strong a case as circumstantial evidence could make it. In the meantime I irfected a plan w hich I hoped would lead to sur prising results. My roommate that night was Ir. Ilin ton, one of the oldest and w ealthiest phy sicians of the place. The Ioctor was a popular num. lie had been Mayor of Silverton, und he was, moreover, a life long friend of Judge Tike. I could not have selected u better man for the pur pose. Again the moon flooded the room with light as on the previous night. I arrang ed the bedclothes in the shajie of a hu man figure, and btationed myself bchibd the screen wit h Vr. 1 1 niton. Twelve o'clock came, and one, but we remained undisturlied. He is not cming," whispered the Doctor. " Perhaps not," I answered, ' but 1 feel in duty bound to watch." "Very well," yawned the Doctor, "I am with you, but we did not go to work in the right way." Vh;it would have been your plan?" I askeii. "Why, simply tl.L. We should have concealed ourselves in the corridor and watched his door. When he came out we could hav- followed him at a little dis tance. As it is, he may visit another room, ami in that event our time w ill lie lost," " 1 1 is all very well to suggest that now," 1 answered, " but there are objections to your plan. The guests who found us prow ling around the corridor would de mand explanations, and we would have found it neo-sirv to let t.o manv into our secret. Now, it seems reasonable to supjiosethat the force of habit will draw the Judge to the same place. This room is next the one in which the inurJer vc curred, and if my theory is correct your friend was making for that room last night, Finding it securely f;Lstoned you know it has lieen nailed up since the in quest lie tried the next door, which is WtVwltUv waJXs .aiLalJjhjriuoliji lie- "There issomething in that," said my companion ;' but 1 hoe that he will not come. Think of the effect tijain his mind if our suspicions should turn out to be the truth." ' u Hush !" I w hisered. The dair creaked a little, and a whife-rola-d figuregently glided in. " It is the Judge:" said the IWtor, un der his breath. Ami it was the Judge, it was plainly evident even in the moonlight that he was asleep, but his features were twitch ing convulsively. In his right hand he carried the dagger. Swiftly, and yet without making the slightest noise, thesleepwalkerapiruach ed the bed, nnd, stretching forth one hand, commenced cautiously feeling. When his hand rested upon the sham tienre he delivered the same rapid thrust with the dagger t'oat I had witnessed the night Ix-fore, and fled from the room. Dr. lliiitoi, was a cool man when there was work to do. lie signaled to me, and we ran after the Judge, following him into his room. Judge I'ike closed his door end faced us. For a momen I thought that he was awake, but I stion saw that he was uncon scious. He went to his trunk and, lifting its contents carefully, placed the dagger at theltottom. Then he threw himself into an arm chair. " I hate to do it," said Dr. Hinton, " but it must Ik? done." He advanced to the chair and sluxik the sleeping man. "How dare you?" he exclaimed. "What does this mean? Why, gentle men, this is strange. How is it that you are in my room ?" He looked down ut his costume, and buried his face in his hands. " Have I been ill ?" he asked. "My friend," said the doctor, "I am about to bring a great sorrow 111111 you. but I know that you are brave enough to bear tiie truth. What I have to say dix-s not reflect ujon your character, and it is necessary that you should know it." "SjK'ak!" huskily commanded the Judge. " May I open your trunk a moment?" asked the loctor. " Certainly," was the reply : " make yourself at home." The Ihs'tor drew from the bottom of the trunk the dagger. "How did that get there T was the Judge's stern question. " I have no weap ons.

The nervous and irritable state of the Jt'zar since the recent attempts upon his life, has reached such a degree that in his presence they must not lie alluded to and in order to oIk'v his wishes in this resjH'ct the very newspapers he reads have to be specially prepared. He re ceives at present no other jqiers but those expreshly printed for him ; the ver iest penny magazines of old, containing at ttest a few inoffjnsive despatches, the rest being made up of society gossip and theatrical notes, with atlx-st a litile lead erette or two thrown in, recounting tlte blessings of his autia-ratic government, w ithotlt an overstrict adherencw to the truth in their enumeration. The editor of the siai'ial sheet, to w hich the Czar is the only subscriber, and which appears in a singular nutnlter, saw no harm in in serting the reports of the festivities on the tavasiou of the Emjienir William's ninetieth birthday anniversary, which caused the Czar to exclaim sadly : " I shall never live to reach four score years and ten, and have tho benediction of millions of my subjects showered ujton my heud !" A Dog's Self-Sacrifice. A southern paper prints the follow ing moving story of sublime self-sacrifice by a dig u fine large Newfoundland. A camping jwrty ou the coast of Georgia, near Savannah, had been amusing them selves by swimming in the buy, and a ventursonie lad named Charley Butler, had swan much farther and staid longer than the rest. The writer, w ho was the owner of the dog, dressed himself, and was busy prejiaring supper when he heurd an alarm. A sudden outcry told me something was going 'w rong -in the shore, drub bing a rifle and hastening hack, w ith Carlo at my heels, I liehuld Butler some distance away, swimming with all his might, and only a few yards behind him the vertical liu of a huge shark. There seemed no possibility that the boy's life could be saved ; we were without boats, and the fish and man were so nearly in line from us that 1 did not dare to fire. In a second Black Carlo, comprehending the situation, dashed through the surf and started to swim toward Charley w ith a siteed that I have never seen equalled by any land aniuiuL The loy having leisurely covered most of the distance Is 'tween the reef and the shore when the man eater started after him, was compar atively fresh, and, when he saw the no ble dog hastening to his help, made a final desperate effort to escape. In an other instant Carlo was close to him. Just then, however, the shark, having come near enough, turned so that we could see his white belly glistening in the twilight, aud ail was ready for the spring that would have surely ended Charley's life when Carlo, leaping clear over But ler form, appeared to go straight into the monster's mouth ; and the latter, having got his supper, di:apperred in the deep water, while the lad in a few sec onds was safe on the Hhore. That night our joy over our comrade's rescue was mingled with sorrow for the life so gal lantly sacrificed in his behaif and to this day the memory of this thrilling scene fills me with sadness for the loss of Black Carlo, my dig hero. .

Before the middle of the fifteenih cen tury, Europe had a cheap matrial pa per ; an oilv ink, developed for block- book printing, in place of the fluid ink, which could lie used only with tho brush, pn.bably the press itself; skilled artisans,- trained in the block-btx-k work; most iniKirtant of all, the demand caused by education. It lacked movable types that could be fitted evenly and readily together, fr neither the pon-elain letters of Pi-Ching nor the individual stamps of tho early copyists had developed to this point. " The invention of printing" in its modem sense consisted in the simple production of such types, or, as Ie Vin ne puts it, of the type-mould which should prtsluee such types. Fifteen cities claim to be the birthplace of printing, but the honor rests between" Haarlem, Strasburg and Mainz. The Duhrh legend is that some time :doiit or previous to 1 tHI, one Laurent Janszixm Koster, custos or sex ton of a church in Haarlem, while in the Hont, or Haarlem wood, cut letters on u beech tree, which suggested to htm w.xtd- en types, from which he after ..-ard de-velojx-d metal types ; and that a man in his employ, escaping with the secn-t to Mainz, originatel the art then-. Ibiar lem contains many portrait monuments of Koster, and belief in him is an article of the Dutch faith, but later invest "gators claim that he is ul together a myth, made up, with much imagination and some ras cality, of two Harlem citizens, neither of whom was a printer, ami the "unknown printer" of much later-days. The Carman story centers in John (intenlx-rg, of the family called Gens-I fleisch taking his mother's name in a cordai.ee with a German custom, becau. b - fa.iiily was dving nit- .1- to whom there ? a definite Lstorieid chain of ev deuce, including :.e records of tw o law suits. Nothing is certainly know n 0: a 1 ;irs' thirty years. He is supposed to have been born about VV.I9 at Mainz, whence bis family were exiled, going to Strasburg. In 14oi he appear as a de fendant in a lawsuit bnnigt .i Strasburg by an heir of one Andrew Dritzehen, to compel Gutenberg to admit him '1 the secret and benefit of an. art into which the deceased had bought by payment to Gutenlierg. This art warn to have been printing, and the evidence in the suit '!'os that Gutenberg sent his servant to Ifitzehen's house, immediate!;, on his death, to have a "form " of " four pieces" "lying in or about a press," separated "ly turning two buttons," "so that no one might know w hat it is." We do not know, for Gutenberg won the suit aud kept the secret. Di tlcn-nt modern seln 1 ars construe " it " to be parts of the press, pages of type, matriws, or a four-jiart definitely known whether Gutenltrg printed any liooks in Strasburg (some fragments of a tyx Vmnlu being most plausibly connected with him then-,) which caused a - it-rman critic to declare that if Strasburg is the cradle of printing " it is a cradle without a baby." By 144S Giittenlx-rg bad removed t' Mainz, for then-is record of his hiring money, and in 14-V) he made a contract w ith John Fust, a money-lender, to provide money for paper, "vellum, ink, wages, and the other materials requirel,"on half-profits, which contrait was the basis ot the sec ond suit. In this suit, brought in lt-V), Fust, who has been sadly confused with that later Dr. Faust, of Wittenburg, from whose wicked learning grew the Faust legend, foreclosed his mortgage, got pos session of art of Gutenberg's imple ments and stock, and by the help of Gut -ennerg's apprentice, Peter Shu ffer, who uflcrwurd married Fust's daughter Chris tina, took up the business of printing. There is a legend that this Sho ll'er, and not Gutenberg, invented the tytx'-mouM, but recent investigators show that this in vention was peculiarly Gutenberg's. Gutenberg, who started a new printing office after the separation, by help of money from Conrad Ilumery, physician and town clerk, printed two editions of the Bible, lie printed also an edition of the D'liiutiix, severil 7Vi-n of .ei'tymrv (the earliest job-w ork) a broadside Calen dar of 1437, a GiW'Y-om of 14tW, and many other things. He was alive in 14tv, when An-hbishop Adolph made him one of the gentlemen of his Court, and was dead in 14i;s, for in that year C-onrnd Ilumery had sinveeded to his ef fects. R. II.

The ar rangement of the stars made infinite va riety, but through all, the mullet or five ' pointed star was retained, showing that, j desirous as the Confederates were to get a flag unlike the " Yankee" emblem, the old feeling could not shake off attach ment to the stars. And in almost every letter w ith a device for the flag, reference is made to retaining the stars, though .metimes ignoring the stripes. One Con federate wrote: " I-t the Yankees keep their ridiculous tune of Yankee iVxwlle,' but by all that, is sacred do not let them monopolize the stars and stripes. You have fought w ell under our glorious ban ner ; could you fight as well underanoth er? Never! Charge it improve it, alter it as you w ill but for Heaven's sake keep the stars and stripes?"

B The arguments unrvd th were chattels, for this union by the ablest advocates of sluvery were jhw erftil. Again and agin they pointed out the impossibility of permanently har monious social relations should labor and capital le supplied by two distinct in dustrial classes. They were never satis factorily answered on this point. But their conclusion was nevertheless unwar ranted. The first stage in the evolution of industrial sx'iety fimls labor and cipi tal united, and the stage of evolution to w hich we must come will also witness their union, but there will be this radical difference: in the onei?riod of evolution they are united in the hands of capital ists; in the other, they will lie found in the hum is of the laborers. As John Stuart Mill says, this must be bmught alxitit by a development of the partnership principle. No one. as al ready stated, can tell exactly what form this will take, but some thing seem al ready clear. Corporations will play an important part in this development, us they gradually tx-eome more deimx'mtic in their tendencies. Corporations and cooperative enterprise's will become more and more nearly xsimilated until they can scarcely be distinguished. President Francis A. Walker, in his treatise on Po litical Economy, dwells on the impor tance of industrial leadership, and be lieves that co-operative enterprises have not a gnat future because the captains of industry are not in their employ. Every won! which he says alswt the impor tance of the services rendered by leaders in the economic world is true, but there are two things which he overlooks: First, the power of perfect organization, which is daily becoming more apparent in ev ery domain of life, and which is now achieving triumphs remarkable beyond W-ecedetit. The second is the fact that' the cuptuins of industry will yet lie found sj,,n f corporations; bnt even were this possible, it is plain that it wonld lx? a ret- nigrai le movement. There is, fortunate ly, a conservative middle ground be tween the radicalism which would sweep away these useful industrial forms and the equally dangerous obstinacy which rejects all sngjstfions of change. The arguments advanced by the enemic of corporations mnst convince any fair minded man that then' are evils insepar ably connected with corporations as they exist to-day in the United States, but an analysis of these arguments reveals the fact thut they do not apply equally to all classes of corporations.
