'Shortly after the first Republican

Constitution of the State of New.

ork was' framed , and the judiciary system was established for the civil department, the Supreme Court, or that branch of it called the "Circuit Court," was appointed for one of the'- circuits in the county' of Duchess, and the eccentric Judge Crane was to preside. Judge Crane was very wealthy and highly resieeted for his public and private virtues, especially for his charitableness to tlie poor; but he, always dressed in. a5 plain garb, and would hardly ever wear an overcoat, whatever the weatiaer, might be, and It was seldom that he rode when he went abroad, although he owned several val

uable horses; " On the morning orthe

hours he presided with dignity and Wheu the Judge withdrew the land?

While some ot thegirls declared if he did come, they would use some of his own expressions, which he used respecting Judge Crane. "Let

While he was thm detained the landlady entered the diii? mg1 room,- and earnestly inquired . if Judge Crane had come in. The ans

On arriving at Pougbkeepsie, cold and wet, he walked to a tavern, where he found the landlady and her servants were making large preparations for the .entertainmen :of the judges, lawyers,and other gentlemen who .they expected would attend the .Circuit Court; , "... The Judge was determined to have some sport" and in a pleasant tone addressed th 2 landlady: '"i haveno money, and was. obliged to come"' to court, and I walked through the dreadful storm' more than twenty miles. I anv wet and cold , dry and hungry, I want something to eat ..before the court begins when the landlady put herself in a magesterial posture, and put? ting on a countenance of contempt, said' to the Judge,- "You say: you are wet and eold, dry and-hungry; how can all this be?" "I said that I was wet and cold: and if you had been out as long as I have been in this storm, I think you would likewise be wet and coiar I said that I wanted' something; to eat and dbrink."

But, as the Judge was of. a singular turn in almosjt every thing, and had taken & fancy that if a person eats light food-at thet same time and that wbich is more solid and harder of dices tioni -that? the Jightrfood should be eaten nrst-he therefore filled his plar,e with some pudding,' made of milk, rice and' eggs; and 'placing himself in ratber an awkward sit.uaiion, with his lefb elbow1 on the table and his head near the plate.began to eat according to his common custom, which was very fast, although mfwa? not a great eater. And some of the gentlemen mear the Judge, following his example of partaking-of thenudding before: the meat, of course a largedeefj vessel which had contained that article was nearly emptied when Mary approached with her two additional tureens of - gravy, according ,to.the commandi of her mistres3, and as she sat the last down near the Judge., he says to: herein anustef e mame'Qirii brinmea clen plate to eavt'soine saladbnr' Th'e1;'a&upt manner in? which he addressed hei. and

... Here the wiiole joke bmst on tne minds of the gentlemen present, who

feu into a loud nt of laug liter. Arter "the tumult had a little., subsided, says the Judge mildly, "Did I chop wood to pay for my breakfast?" f -'Indeed you did," said she, ."and said you had ho money."' "I told- you the' wholfe truth," says the Judge, "but I have a ! beautiful shawl worth more . than SI 0,

which I just now bought, iand will Ueaye it with you in jiawn if you will

only let me eat dinner with these gentlemen. Here the gentlemen were

biting their lips to keep from laughter.

"How did you buy .a shawl worth more

than $10 without money?" "I bought it on credit." says" he. "And where did you find credit to that amount?" saysshe.; "I brought it from home," says he. "That is a. likely story, and something like your abuse of Judge Crane this morning," says she. "How could I abuse the judge if . he were not present?" said he. " Why,V said she; l4you called him a rusty, fusty old nidge, and an old codger, and said .you, did not care a rye straw more ' for hini than you did for yourself." Andvhere the whole company were in an uproar

of laughter again. But as soon as it

subsided a little, one of the gentlemen.

asked the landlady how she knew that the gentleman she was addressing was not Judge Crane. 1 He Judge Crane?4' said sue. "He looks more like a snipe than a crane!" , Here thejoud laughter burst forth a third-time! J After a little pause the judge said: "I must confess that I am not a bird of very fine featners, but I assure you that I am a Crane, and a crane is very often a useful instrument; I saw a yerjrgood one in your kitchen this morning ami sometimes ah instrument called a, crane is of incalculable use, madam." Befcre she had time to reply, some of the gentlemen with whom she1 was acquainted assured her that she was talking with the presiding judge. Astonished and confounded, she attempted some excuse, and hastily asked-pardon for her rudeness. The Judge had by this time, unobserved, taken from his pocket the beautiful shawl, and foided'it as lull length one way and in a narrow form the other, and. it being of very ' fine texture,

appeared more like an elegant sash than like a valuable shaw3. Then he arose and with a graceful dignity and a

Prosthetic Dentistry. The following is an abstract: of a paper read by Dr. D. Ii. Overholserat the recent session of the Indiana State Dental Association : - 9 m . Prosthetic dentistry is that part of denistry having reference to the substitution of artificial for natural teeth. In its liesfc estate it is a highly laudable brand oi art ,and hence should not ba degraded by the heretofore common term,s mechanical dentistry. Practically we see considerable dental substitution that is truly artistic, and I fear a good deal more that is nothing more than mechanical., As members, of an association having for its obje'cTthe ;elevatidtr of the profession, it becomes us to consider tne causes and . if possible to find' aremedy for "this4 prepohderance of the mechanical over the artistic, of ugliness and de;brmity over beauty and symmetry. There are several things necessary for the successful prosecution of any line art. First among these a?e skill and taste which generally are tne result of . mnch study and experience.' " Invadditicin ro these time an'd. patient - care are inclispensahle.? I have" seen a street artist make crayon portraits at the rate of one in five minutes for !25 cents, but while he demonstrated his possession of a remarkably capacity of- a (jertain kind, the pictures were nob worthy tfo be entitled, vorks .... "of art. In these days' of steam - dental establishmpnts and five dollar sets of ready made teeth those, indispensable factors time and care have b een too much lost sight of, the main points being to turn out the work as quickly as pos3ibleand4y' advertising a little lower prices than others charge to keep theactory going; One example like this show ins: signs of active business is quickly follovfed by several others, who perhaps get down a little lower both in price and quality of work, and, thus, in some , communities, dental art is left without a repr sentati ve being superseded at the behest tpf blind avarice by dental mechanics or worse . How shah this evif be remedied ? I answer. Let the profession observe a halt; let it ''down brakes" on this whirling train of competition in speed and4 cheapness and return to first principles. Let it unite to magnify brains rather than steam iu the dental office, excellence rather than speed; let competition be based on, high standard of work rather than low scale of prices. Says one, "Your theory is very nice, but it won't work in practice. I am surrounded by men who do cheap work, and unless I do the same I will

be left without patronage." On the

contrary i contend mat tne mass ot our people want good work and wili

pay a fair price iot it, -no matter now

cheaply interior work is offered. Another : point 1 esseritial to the

maintainance of a high standard

is that the dentist have tbe

patient before him during at least a

portion' of the time nyhile arranging

the teeth so that they may be tried in

the mouth and such adjustment made as shall satisfy the cultivated taste of the operator. Tb5s is a point which I have reason to beUeve a vast majority of dentists neglect,ras taking too much time." Very many plates so made C'suld be satisfactory only to persons baving a very"low standard, for work. Besides ;;the tendency of' this .kind of work is to" constantly reduce the standard'. 'A set of teeth having been set up by guess andir trusted to luck is placed into the mouth. It is not what it

ought to be nor what the operator was

capable or making it, but some of thie defects' are unalterable unless"' the . Whole case is made over which is too much trouble without pay and so it will have to do. Hepetitions of these things are frequent and their tendency is necessarily to degrade"" the standard. To summarize somewhat: I hold that profcaetic" den

tistry affords opportunity .for the de-

veiopemenc or tne nest taste anu siuii in" the profession ; that a very large class of our people that want the best work and will cheerfully compensate it: tbat In denying this: want we prove un worthy of our trust; that in conscientiously supplying! t wo benefit our fellow men, magnify our calline and in the end advance our 6wn material interests r.

Medical Opinion, Brooklyn Engle. Yesterday afternoon two medical students met in a

street saloon and fell into conversation on the assassination. "I am inclined to think the attending physicians have misrepresented the President's case; what do you say; doctor?" asked.one. "I . agree wi th you , d octor, 1 ' replied the other. "As soon as tbey discovered that the bullet had penetrated the

laudable pus, they should have made an effort to extract i t. " "My idea exactly. And if peritonitis supervened, they could readily have reduced -it.with a borax gargle. Don't you think they might have lowered the peritoneal wall into the abdominal cavity so as to have reduced the pressure on the liver, doctor?" f'They might, doctor, but wouldn't that have produced lesion?" Certainly. But, (lector, they could then have turned the lesion over, and in that way have reduced the respiration at thestart. . "You are right, doctor. If I'd been there I should have drawn the bullet back and ' downward,' in order to relieve the inflamed parts." "I sep; and tied the arteries at your leisure Yes, yes. Did you get the

iniDressiou thai any of the ligaments1

were cut by the bullet?" "I think one of the anterior vessels was severed, and tho rush of blood into the stomach is all that saved his life. Have you considered, doctor, that the ball may pass into the femoral artery and make the patient lame?" "No, I hardly think so. It those physicians understand their business, they'll tie the spinal cord around the bullet, and then they, can pull -It out at any time. I wouldn't reborn jniuid its removal now." "Certainly not, doctor. I thought of one thing that would have worked well in the earlier stages, hufc it's too late nov, and that was during the fever to increase the temperature until the bullet was melted, permitting it to pass off through the wound.": "A most excellent idea, doctor!

Why on earth didn't, ypu think, of it

at the time?" "On! I wasn't called into the case and didn't like to interfere. What did you think of Old Breyfogle's lecture on the sub-clavian artery?" "He's air old ass! Anybody knows that the clavian arteries are the root of sciatica, which will only yie!d to amputation. Going to the . base Jiall match to-morrow?" ' "Yes. I'm 800.' : Good (iayj do tor!"

The evidence showed that he had $5 a week wages, out of which he paid for board, and lodging $3; about the lowest sum for which it can in any fairly decent place be obtained, seeing that for board alone that sum would, at three meals a day, only give 14 cents for each meal. He had got into arrears with his landlady and took the money to pay her. The case illustrates the miserable shifts ! to which youth3 are exposed ' who take to clerical work because they despise that whie.i they are idiots enough tosuppos--esbeneath their dignity. Young clerk at $5 a week are too often in a chronic condition of terrible temptation. Becky Sharpe thought that she could not be a good woman under $25,000 a year. This is putting the ligures rather high, but surely honesty is almost too much to expect in youth with the anpetite of 18, compelled to maintain a decent appeal ance on $5 si week, and wi th checks 11 ylng around , This case may do good service if it only serves to choke off some foolish v bays h'orn the genteel pauperism- of clerking, and send them into an occupation where they cftn.: bet without temptation. To take merely one clas3 of hand-workers, there are at this moment hundreds of waiters in. and about this city, who are receiving from $30 to $00 a month,and who if single need not spend more than $12, : Yet these wretched pauper clerks deem themselves Immeasurably superior to the waiters, many of whom are the sons of German inif -keepersall of whom serve an apprenticeship in ivaiting- -worth thousands of dollars.

tempts to shoot Queen Victoria in the early years of her reign. Three ti raes in two years after the marriage, says Mrs. Olinhant in a p)ieasant little biog

raphy, entitled "The Queen," this younjiYititiocent and virtuous woman, so attractive to all who surrounded her, so free of all personal errors or disad vantages, so popular and beloved as she was, was shot at in the peaceful streets of her o'wn cheerful and unseditious London. That the ofifenders were oontemptible in the highest degree did not make the danger or the outrage less, for a bullet from the hand of a fool may do damage which all the wisdom of the wise could not . undo, and the shock not o:oly of alarm but of discouragement likely to be produced upon a sensitive young mind "by such incidents was naturally very great. The first of these attempts, took place in June 1840, only a few montlis after the Queen's, marriage, when a man named Edward Oxford fired at the Queen when she was driving down Constitution Hill for her daily airing. The royal couple were in a Hinall pkaeton, going to pay their dutiful visit to the Duchess of Kent in all the simplicity Mid confidence of nature, Prince Albert driving his wife through the peacofulness of the Summer evening. "We had hardly proceeded one hundred yards from the palace when I notieed," Prince Alber t writes, "on the footpath on my side,: a littlo, meanlooking man, holding something to

ward us, and before I could distinguish what it was, a shot was fired which almost stunned us both, it was so loud and fired barely six paces from us. Victoria had just turned to the left to look at a horse, and could not understand why her ears were ringing, as, from its being so very near, she could hardly distinguish that -it 'proceeded from a shot having been fired. The horj33s started and the carriage stopped. 1 seised Victoria's hands and. asked if the fright had not shaken her, but she laughed at the thing. I then looked

agari at tne man, w no was sun sianuing in the same place, his arms crossed and. a pistol in each hand. His atti-

ude was so theatrical and affected it

shot and stooped quickly, drawn down

This was not a pleasant feature in an

afternoon drive. The Queen, however,

fvvnufiuea ner course unaat n tea, witn

i he-cheerful and simple courage natu

ral to her, and went on to ber mother,

to carry the first news of .the outrage,

and set all anxiety to rest upon its effect Afterward "we took' a short

drive through the Park, pairtly to give Victoria a little air; partly, also, to

show the public we had not lost confi-

aexicem them." The Queen at the time was in a sta le of health -such as is

often affected seriously by a very much

smaller matter, but her so unci nerves

an d high spirits delended her better than armor or mail? The wretched culprit, was a dissipated' bd of seventeen, apparently moved by nothing more serious than depraved vanity and

a desire to be notorious It is notcer-

tain whether there was a bullet in the pistol he fired, and the convenient plea

of msamty was brougnt ii i to save ;n-

gland the bother of of ext'cuting such

being for high treason. Only the

other day, during the sitting of the

Commission on. . Lunatic Asylums, i t

was. mentioned that this pitiful crimina: vas still vegetating among thj& mj.dmenmore respectable i in their

THE SECOND ATpiFJPi Two years later, at very ; "nearly. the same place, and (the. satihe time of the, year , a still mere exeitihe: incident of the siime kind occurred. Prince Albert saw, in the middle of the day on Sunday, on the return from churchy "a man step out from the crowd and present a pistol full. He was some two pfices from U3. I hea:.d the trigger sr.ao. but It must have missed fire. I

turned to Victoria, who was seated on

my right, and asked: 4 Did you hear that?'? Bhe had been sowing to the

people' on" her right, arid ,had heard

nothing. I saia: i: ma:,T ne mistaaen, but I am sure I saw some one take aim at us-.r iiNothing was sakH publicly, hovevert on the subject. No one among tlie Queen's immediate attendants had .observed It; aad the Irihee,

though he informed the: police and the Minister, was half disposed t;o believe tbat he hini self was' deceived.- How

ever, during the Sunday afternoon, several corroborations turned up, A boy who was among .the eiw; . baxl seen the incident, and had seen and spoken to avthird spectator, who . also Ierceived it. This wtHi enough to set the police and authorities in activity, ind tffe vague ;danger thu known to ix.ist conveyed' a certain ' excitement into the palace. . "We were naturally much agitated . Vic tori a very nervous nud unwell," says Prince Albert. Notwithstanding, .the Queen went out. tor lier daily drive as usual, though such precautions sas coidd be taken were adopted. "You kjnay imagine," continues the 'narrative, -"that our minds' weire- nor very easy. We looked behinl evtrjr tree and I,4.easfe my eyed.;,;iind,iii search of the rascal's ace. .

4 concealed attack. She would much

rather run the risk at once than have the presentment of iianger constantly hovering over her."' T V OrPOBB'S iaClTATORS, jrhe assailant on - this occasion was anpther wretched ceatu re called Francis, equally without any motive of incentment" which could account , for

such a piece of cruel and cowardly folly. A still more remarkable thing, however, remains tfr be told.- A month afterward, just after the trial of Francis, a third incident of the same kind occurred, an ugly-deformed man called Beau being- the culprit. The cumulation in itselt must have had a very painful cf&ct on the Queen's mind, since nothing worse could have' occurred to the most hated despot than these repeated shootings, which threatened the most popular and beloved of Queens. The first of the three naively gave his interpretation of it afterward: "If I had been hanged' said Oxford, "there would have been no more shooting at the Queen. The original criminal despised his imitatorsT !I was not at all freightcfiied," the Queen wrote to her uncle, "and feel very proud at dear Uncle Mensdorff eaDing me sehrumuthig (very couragtcus), which I shall ever rejaiembervdth jpeeuliar pride, coming from so' gret ah officer as he is.' Thus tho Queon gave proof of her valor under firs not less an ordeal that her enemies were so contemptible and all the greater as without excitement oi encouragement a danger encountered not in passion but in cold blood 1 The young lady's royal calm is charmingly confrM ib the emo-

How Its

QUININ f; Use is .Abused Country.

m This

A riiysiclan in OhIcjgo Trilmne. For many years I have felt it my dnty as a physician to protest against the growing abuse of quinine, and to warn the public against its dangers. I have so far refrained because I feared the public aud the medical profession might think I was unduly prejdiced on account of my connection with the homo3opathic school of medicine. But let me say that I am not . one of those who reject the use of quinine. On the contrary, I consider it a valuable and useful drug. It is the abuse of it, and not its legitimate use, that I protest against. For the ; last five years, especially, its abuse by the profession ancf the laity has yearly v assumed dangerous proportions, It in the medical fashion of the day, as much so as was the use of antimony and. mercury during the last century. This fashion is rapidly extending to an extreme, which must sooner. or later result in a

reaction winch will be tremendous.

just as all reactions from abuse- are

The reaction- against antimony and mercury has nearly banished them from practice, and really excluded

them when they ought to be used. So it will be with quinine. It ought to be known that quinine is as much a poison in over-doses as arsenic. ... In massive doses it will cause all the phenomena of colTapse, pernicious congestions and serious lesions' of the brain. In agues it often substitutes its own poisonous effects for that of the disease, and the ignorant physician goes on giving the drug without recognizing the fact. It often precipitates attacks of apoplexy, mania and insanity, which milder treatment could ward off. The immense doses which are given in oerebro-spinal ' fevers often drag the patient to a rapidly fatal end. Dr. W. A.Hammond, in a private letter to the writer, declares it is a potent cause of congestion of the brain and should be used with great caution. The medical superintendent of one of the insane asylums in this State, declared to a friend of mine that, in a large proportion of the insane which came under his care, that condition had been either caused or aggravated by the improper use of quinine. . In my own personal experience I can point to hundreds cf persons who have been irreparably in

jured by this drug. One notorious irregular practitioner gives it in enormous doses for nearly every complaint ; and not content with its eternal use, orders it rubbed on . the. skin, mixed with lard, by thei! oune'ev The victims of this unwarranted treatment can be numbered . by hundreds, and its deleterious effects will follow tb em for years. There is a u worse : aspect, however, than its occasional abqse. I allude to its 'continued ' use.' When4 a person has been subjected to its abuse for a length of time he can not leave it off; he becomes a confirmed quinine eater, and in the end his condition becomes as deplorable as that of an opium eater. I have at this time ventured : oh! this' protest because I find that the Tegular profession are beginning to wake up to the knowledge of

the abuse of quinine, r and" are bbUP

enough to denounce it.

l)enver Tribune. . It is only natural tha't great ; Generals who commanded thousands of men in the late war should frequently meet men in different parts of the country who cherish some inciden t of war life with which private and General were closelyr cbpnected. It is, doubtful;' if General Phil Sheridan;' whose famous twenty mile ride to Winchester has mady "his name familiar iu every house? hold ever met a man who brought up a pleasanter reminfscence than a brpwn faced, hardy miner did ' in this city a day or two ago. ? . General Sheridan was idly sauntering up and down the lobby of the Windsor Hotel, deep in thought and complacently puffing' at( his - Havana and blowing the white smoke into pretty little rings; Suddenly a roughs looking man, with face so heavily bearded that one could see nothing but the twinkliug .black eye, approaching him, and, raising his hat with awkward embarrassment, said : 4 'Good morning, General."The hero of Winchester.returned the greeting, touching his cap with military politeness, and then, trying to peer through the miner's heavy beard to get a glimpse of his features, the General added : f 4 " ; f "I'ni afraid Pve forgotten your face, sir." ' . . . ... i The eyes of the man froni Gunnison twinkled brighter than ever as he remarked: "It's not unlikely, General .seein's we never met but once before, you would'nt'be so apt to remember me as I am you. It's seventeen years since I saw you last. . Things has changed

since then. It was on the battlefield of Cedar Creek. Don't you' remember the soldier that gave you his horse whepv yours was shot from under you by a shoxver of canister from the masked batteries on the brow of the hill?" asked the old man, looking, up with eager pride, into" the - General's face. ...... ls v "That I do." answered the General with pleased interest and a brighter flash in his eye; "I j remember it well." - - KX was that soldier," continued the miner proudly; 'I remember the eircumstap,ces well, sir. When you put the spurs to my horse and galloped off, you left your- hat behind you, and I called to you as loud as I could, but you replied. 'Never mind the hat, my boy.' I've got that hat yet," General. It's hanging in my cabin in the mountains," and the rough fellow's eyes glowed with pleasure. Sheridan grasped his baud and led him to a! seat, and for half an hour they fought the battle of Cedar Creek over again. , : ,

Tho Electric Railway. Mr. W. M. Grisco m, in a letter to the New York Times, dated Berlin, describes the trial opening of the electrical railroad. He says; "The electrical railroad was built for the purpose of showing that passenger trains could be run on it, and freight trains as well, and, in addition, to secure to Germany the credi t due her for the first practical railroad, carrying passengers, operated by electricity. The electric .railroad is . built from a small village, called Lichterfelder to the principal cadet school in Germany (nine' kilometres from Berlin), and is two and a half kilometres in length. The width of the track is one metre. The rails are of 'steel, and rest on crossties of wood, and-this is all the insulation they havQ. In- fact, the whole road is constructed in tlie ordinary manner. A short distance from" the roadway, in the machine building of the water, work; th'd dynamo-electri-'cal machine is placed, and.is driven by a ten horse iiower engine, which furnishes the current of electricity, which is conducted by means of an insulated

cable underground to ono of the rails

Victoria I., Queen of England, Empress of India, Jiady . of the vIales, Countess of Rothesay, DucheJjs of Kent, was Monday sixty-twb yeais old and her birthday was 'Celebrated during twenty-four hours by booming guns an rf popular feistivities; The Queen is tlie only sovereign upon whose dominion the sun never sets. The guns that saluted her anniversary at sunrise Monday morning- at the Horse Guards in London, were the echoes of others .which had begun 4,-; 000 and more miles eastward iii her Oceanic domains. The most splendid empires of antiquity were mere provinces compared to cub limits andf the millions this mild English ; woman rules. She has governed- forty-four years,' or vKthin oneof the great Elizabeth, whose reigu is regarded as. the golden age of English po wer. But the England of Elizabeths-mighty- as were its achievements, was a small affair as compared with the realm of her "successor.

She made heir ministers go on their knees in approaching" her, and a not unfrequenf experience of some statesmen was the reception of a sound box on the ear from the virago. She cut the head off when a man offenaed her, and, sequestrated properties with royal carelessness. Her successor finds her lines oast in grotesquely different places.
