AMY LATIMER, LIVING AND DEAD.
If old Aunt Amy Latimer had ac
quired one tenth the fame living as she
has assumed in death, she would have
been numbered among the notables of
the country. When the mayor of Mil-
lodgeville, some members of council,
and other orominent citizens acted as
p ill-bearers at her funeral they little
dreamed that widespread significance
would be attached to the event.
I’jt as it is the bankers of Boston,
the journalists of New York, the
critics of the country, have taken up
the question and far and wide in news
and editorial colu.tis tho funeral of
Amy Latimer has been discussed. It
is doubtful if any funeral of recent
occurrence has assumed such tremen-
dueus importance as that of this old
slave woman, who lived an humble
life in this little city, who was unknown

Diplomacy of Judge.
Judge Walter Eians, of the United
States District Court ought to be in the
diploma*ie service, his friends say, ac
cording to the Louisville Times. He is
known as a man of rare tact. The oth
er afternoon J udge Evans had a gath
ering of Masonic brethern in his cham
ber at the custom house. Before the
meeting opened an outsider strayed in
to the room. The outsider showed no
signs of going, and, as the meeting was
a private one, the Masons began to
wonder how the outsider was to be got
rid of. Judge Evans was equal to the
occasion.
Approaching the intruder he shook
him warmly by; the hand. “Are you a
Mason?” he asked. -
“Sorry, I'm not,” replied to outsid
er.
“Well,t 1 ohserved the Judge. “I was
going to day is you were we would be
glad to have you remain."
