flow* Legal light look* at the Way
It is Going On.
‘How is court? what’s doing down
at the court house?” inquired our re¬
porter of one ol our lawyers.
“That’s a question I have been
asked during every court lor about
20 years by the average Griffin eiti-
zwi. I’m tired of it. Supposelknew
what's doing and been done at the
court house, have I got to stop and
tell it all to eveiy idle man I meet?_
You have a better right to enquire
than others for you are a reporter;
but you will not take my word for
the news and ought not to, so go
down to the court house and learn
for yourself.”
‘Pretty cold comfort you give to a
searcher for news.”
“Can’t help it. But stop, I’ll say
on# thing: Judge Boynton is a Judge.
I don’t mean by that he sits up ou a
high seat as a terror to/dlhumankind,
bit he possesses those elements of
character and temper which are rare¬
ly met in one sitting on the bench.
Do you know that the fewest of the
ablest of lawyers are good judges?
If you had heard Judge Boynton’s
charge to the grand jury you would
have appreciated what I say. There
was in that charge a clear exposition
Of the law rendered in a manner that
impressed one of its majesty. At the
same time (one was Impressed with
that which is themostsublime feature
of legal jurisprudence—the principle
that courts are impartial tribunals
to be neither influenced by fanatics
nor swayed by public opinion. In
tbfe day and time when a little fellow
gets up on a little judicial bench and
ationce imagines that he, and not the
law, is to regulate the affairs of soci¬
ety, it is refreshing to see a big man
come along and recognize the law as
as paramount to all things. Why,
do you know there is a little county

mesis in his feeble hand, and he
wields it with a vengeance that
would alarm if it did not amuse.
But I’m digressing. Boynton is a
good Judge because He he has wherever g<«od
common him sense. and will isgood flu the bill

time.

“FUio County” Arrive# at Geaevn—
—Nights aud History of the Boom
of Calvinism.
Geneva, Switzerland, July 17 —
Dear News— Leaving Paris we pass-'
ed through a beautifully wooded
country with mites of vineyards of
young grapes ripening under the
sonthera son. and Adds of moving
wheat ready for the sickle. As we
went southward the breeze became
fresher and bore upon its bosom ****
invigorating ozone, a never failing
indication ol the nearnees of the sea.
We arrived in Areachon, a lovely lit¬
tle neat hidden away In vinee and
evergreens upon the bay of Biecay, a
most fashionable little sea side re¬
sort with bright painted villas with
fanciful names, built in French, Ital¬
ian and Moorish styles and roofed
by tiiea, all combining to make a
moat enchanting picture. We spent
a month here driving in the warm,
balmy air or lying on the deck of a
yacht fanned by the fresh ocean
breeze, idly waiting for the ttsh to
take the bait we lazily threw over¬
board, or walking about the oyster
beds watching the Usher women in
their red turkish trowscrs and black
velvet bodices, working from one
tide to another, sorting and feeding
the young oysters. The wind never
ceases to Mow iu this favored spot,
and the bay is covered by white
wings floating idly aboat at the will
of pleasure seekers, and everything
seems to make this existence of idle¬
ness the most desirable on earth,
and it was with a feeling of regret
that we found ourselves leaving this
little spot so quiet and yet so en¬
chanting.
We arrived alter a few hoars trip
by rail at Bordeaux, the third largest
city in France. Here we enjoyed a
drive through the principal streets
and along its quays and its magni¬
ficent garden of ..Quinconcea, where
cool fountains were playing and
tropical {floats blossoming. After
visiting its cathedral of a thousand
years standing, we found ourselves
flying away by express southward to
Toulouse, where we passed a day
sight-seeing and resting from the
fatigue ol our journey. Taking a
carriage at Toulouse we were driven
over the most beautifully paved
country roads bordered on all sides
by grand old sycamore trees, whose
broad thiek foliags formed an arch
overhead and completely shut out
the mid-day sun for miles. The
drive extends along the canal, where
can be seen the most picturesque
stone bridges, the oldest of stone
houses, and aflnegarden of plants, all
of which come in for their full share
of admiration as we go on about six
mites further to reach the ruins of
the old Arena, built when Julius
Ctesar invaded the-Gauls, and it still
shows the crumbling stone seat
upon which this mighty monarch
sat while witnessing a bullfight, or
sword contest of gladiators.
Alter a few hours Nve are again fly¬
ing by rail northeast towards Lyons,
first skirting the blue waters of the
Mediterranean by the light of a set¬
ting sun, which tinges her azure blue
with a rosy red, and quickly turning
to a silvery sheen in the cold pale
light of a full moon, while high
against the darkening horizon great
French castles built in the medieval
style with high turreted roofs and
round towers, loom np in gigantic
proportions. Onward we go past
St. Etienne, the scene of a dreadful
catastrophe where six hundred miners
were recently buried alive in the coal
mines. PastJLyons, the great silk
and velvet manufacturing center,
now running parallel with the Rhone,
then tunneling the foot hills of the
Alps, we rush wildly on over preci¬
pices and chasms, through valleys
and gorges such as can be found only
in Switzerland, and we find ourselves
after tptf daye travel in the lovely
tittie villageof Geneva, upon Lake
Leman, commonly called Lake
Geneva.
Arriving here, we installed our¬
selves in a comfortable hotel, un¬
strapped our trunks, and after a lit¬
tle rest from our long jeurney pre¬
pared to enjoy everything that the
city and its suburbs would present.
As Geneva Is the principal city in
Switzerland, perhaps & little of her
history would be interesting. The
city waa originally built by Julius
Csaur, and its wars and quarrels
would sufllce to fill a whole volume,
but from evil arose good and in the
5th century the Christian religion
was introduced and its civilizing in¬
fluence placed her on a firm baste
above the petty tyrannies Of her bar
barous enemies, the Dukes «f Savoy.
■Urn Mood of her many martyrs was
the germ of new patriots. John Cal¬
vin arrived to complete the task
which patriotism had so well begun,
and from the time that Protestant¬
ism was proclaimed Geneva dates its
existence as a free state, and she
stands today as one of the oldest
republics in the world rounded on
'
- . . :
taMpM
;bt
of liberty illumines me wuu» conti¬
nent, and many distinguished unperishable names
confer on her a more
renown than wealth or architectural,
grandeur can boast of. Here lived
John Calvin, Voltaire, John Jacques
Rousseau, Gibbon, Mad. de Stael,
Lord Byron, and many others, and
Geneva steeps above the banks ol
the lake, her head reposing upon
Mount Salere, her feet kissed by each
advancing wave as she contemplates
the tombs and monuments of
her dead. Jewelery and watch mak¬
ing takes the lead over all other
trades, and it affords employment
to 7,000 workmen, while her entire
population is only 70,000. By her
position at the extremity ol the
largelake which bears her name, the
waters of which are of incomparable
purity and azure blue, by tbe mem¬
ories of the great men she has pro¬
duced, by her position In tbe intellec¬
tual and artistic world, she deserves
much time devoted to her, to see her
well and know her history; beautiful¬
ly situated as she is astride the
Rhone which flows through the lake
and rushes on with an increased
force only to be lost from your sight,
disappearing entirely never to be
found again; curtained by the Jura
range on her westside, white high up
above her terraces rise the Alps in
all their magnificent grandeur, pre¬
senting an impassable barrier to her
enemies, with Mount Bldnc and
its eternal glaciers towering 1,500
feet above her as a lone sentinel
keeping watch by tbe light of his
never melting snows, and enveloping
with his shadow the most lovely re¬
treat in the world. Yet with all
these advantages she became during
the French revolution a center of
revolutionary clubs, and has been
the scene of more battles and strug¬
gles than any other place of her
size.
Driving through the smooth broad
avenues by the lake, we pass the most
beautiful villas set like gems in their
gardens of vines and flowers. Sump¬
tuous hotels crowded with visitors,
lovely public gardens filled with trop¬
ical plants, a fine Casino in Italian
style where one can find enjoyment
in good music and singing, it seems a
perfect para dise which one would nev¬
er wish to leave.
Just opposite my window a short
suspension bridge forms the approach
to the Isle of Rousseau, a pleasant
promenade in warm weather to in¬
hale the refreshing coolness of the
lake and enjoy the prospect of its
banks. The bronze statue of Rous¬
seau stands in the center, while the
blue waters of the Rhone wash its
banks, and beautiful white swans
glide ahout it waiting to b# fed by
the visitors of the little cafe' upon
thfs microscopic isle. If we follow
the gray promenade along the lake
we pass before a most imposing
monument of Duke Charles 2nd of
Brunswick, which is admirably situ¬
ated in the face of the lake and the
Alps upon a platform of stone sur¬
mounted by a bronze equestrian fig
ure of the Duke, and guarded by two
huge lions in stone. This monument
was erected by the city in grateful re¬
membrance for a fortune of 20,000,
000. A little farther on we pass the
Kursall, where every evening at 8
o’clock congregate the fashionable to
take their coffee upon the terrace
overlooks the lake, while listening
the music of the carefully selected
chestra. Behind this little hall
magnificent gambling saloons,
many fortunes are lost and very few
won, and as the music and
are going on many lives are wrecked
here in this quiet looking little Casi¬
no. A little further up the
nade is a very hadsome villa of
Alpine stone, surrounded by a
did park and filled with a rich
tion of Art; the property of the
Rothchild.
We next visit the Museede l'Ariana
which contains a vast collection
porcelains, paintings and scnlpture.
Amongst-its treasures is a painting
of the Virgin of Yallombertise by
phael. The building is
situated and offers from its heights
a most magnificent panorama of
lake and mountains. The city is
