One day I observed an old man for
whose talents the community had great
respect talking to a friend. His eyes
flashed and evpry lineament of his face
betokened anger. As he strack the end
of his cane ti the pavement he said :
"I cueht to have killed the scoundrel."
Cautiously I approached and inquired:
Had - a difficulty with somebody,
colonel?'-' "Oh," said he; "I was just
telling Brown about a little affair that
happened aboit let me see yes, just
forty-five yeats ago." But even, he
mellowed down some years before he
died. Jfow, if we lived as long as Noah
or Methusaleh, or even as long as Abra

years and ten. is too brief a time to be
wasted in passions. . "1 '. -V
Thirty-one 'years have passed since
the war, and 1 was ruminating: over the
difference between now and then. We
-veterans remember . when we were all
accused of treason and many . of our
leaders had to flee the country for fear
of arrest and (trial and condemnation
and death. When tq possessor exhibit
a confederate flaat provoked imprison
ment: when vfe had to defend the lost
cause or lament its failure in whispers,
and when every man who was worth
$20,000 had his property confiscated
unless" he petitioned for pardonand
paid welt for. it The pardon brokers at
Washington made millions out of our
wealthy citizens.
But Time has diluted the bitterness
of those who ere our most . malignant
enemies. Beiflection has tempered the
prejudices of I our northern brethren,

the hard fact that while. we pay our own

that it takes Jialf a million annually for

r - A promment lawyer of New Jersey
who has an office on lower Broadway,
tells a story about New York city judges
of forty years ago that always brings a
smile. Judge John T, -Irving, the up
right and conscientious brother of Wash
ington Irving, was the hero of the ah
leged incident.. It occurred in the days
when judges received a fee oi one dollar
for every paper they signed. ' ' :
One day two prominent New York
lawyers, so the story runs, were in Judge
lrving's court when.he was busily en
gaged in signing papersl There was a
long line of lawyers filing Blowly m
front of the desk, and'aa each passed
up his papers he at the same time laid,
down a corresponding number of dol
lars; The - Judge would glance at the
papers, make a scrawl on each and taice
up the next package, the pile of green
backs growing steadily as the hue of law
yers thinned out. One of the two
lawyers looked on and said to his
companions: f r.
"Lhave the highest respect for the
judge's integrity, but I'm satisfied he
doesn c know half the time what he is
signing. Why, watch him. It is im
possible, for him to get half an idea of
what is on the paper. If he examined
each one closely, he d never get done;
but he should be more careful, never
theless." . The other lawyer declared
tho judge caught at a glance the un
poruint sentence or phrase of each. ;
"Well, I don't believe it," exclaimed
the other. - "I feel sure,' in spite of bet
ter intentions, that that one dollar fee
acts as an incentive and causes his honor
to slight his work, and I'm Groins to
prove what I say." - With that he-strode
out of the room, and presently returned
with a legal form signed by the sheriff,
and which set forth that on such and
such a day,- and at a certain hour and
in a certain place, Judge Irving Was to
be hanged by the neck until he should
be dead. The lawyer then - took his
place in " the line filing before the
judge's desk. When it came his turn
heheld up the jsaper, folded between
his imgers in a noncnaient manner,
and laid down the one dollar with the
other hand. : J
His -honor unfolded the paper and
hurriedly plunged his pen in the ink,
There was a splutter and a scrawl, and
Judge Irving had signed his name to
lawyer went to a social gathering which I
Judge Irving was to attend, with the :
death warrant in his pocket. When he
found himself in a comer with the
judge, he said: "Judges I was watch
ing you signing papers to-day, and 1
couldn't for the life of .me understand
how you can read them all. Do you
really read them?" s
"Why, certainly. It's a matter' of
habit, you know. I have acquired it
by years of practice. 1 can At a glance
detect the really important, sentence or
words." .
"Well," said the lawyer, producing
the death warrant, and folding it in
such a manner that the name of Judge
Irving only was visible, "is that your
signature?
The judge put on his galsses, stared
at the paper an instant.' and then de
clared, it was his signature; The law
yer then unfolded the paper and hand
ed it to the ludge. lhe latter reaa it
and turned crimson.
After that the. signing of .the pipers
in Judge Irving's court was as long ana
tedious a process- as it had-, been rapid
and careless before. .
