| THE GEORGIA JUDGESHIP.
j Why the Appointment is Delayed—
The President Waiting on Sev
eral Other Cases.
Washington, February 19—Judge
Erskine sent hie resignation to the
president six weeks ago, and it was
his desire that it should be accepted
at once. The president has not yet
accepted it, however, but he may do
so very soon. The delay in tbe ap
pointment of a successor to Judge
Erskine in the southern district of
Georgia has caused some comment
and elicited a variety of explana
tions. One of these which has been
very current is that Arthur means to
delay the appointment until after the
Georgia delegation to Chicago shall
have been elected, so as to enlist the
warm support of all the applicants.
This delay would hardly be necessa
ry as nearly every one of the party
managers in Geoagia are known al
ready to be favorable to Arthur
and the flattering prospect of his
nomination will keep hie forces
well in line in thesouth. I hear on
good authority that the reason the
Georgia nomination is kept back is
because the president has several ap
P'hutments of this class to make,and
wants to dispose of them all at once.
A circuit judge is to be nominated to
till the vacancy caused by Judge
Dreary's resignation. There are va
cancies in district judgeships in
Texas. West Virginia and Delaware.
The president, it is stated, desires to
send all these nominations to the
senate at once, aud he sees no reason
for separating the Georgia case from
thereat. For the place Judge Ers
kine leaves there are n any petition
ers. Among them may be mentioned
Colonel H. P. Farrow, Judge Hook.
Judge Twiggs, Judge Cunningham.
Mr. Goodyear, J. R. Saussy, and O.
D. Forsyth. The impression in
Washington is, and has all the while
been, that Farrow will be appointed.
He has brought exceptionally
strong endorsements. He has
the names of seventy-five of the
eighty members of tbe republican
national committee on hie list of
indorsements. He is backed by
Buck, Atkins, Bryant, Locke, Juhn-
son and other leading Georgia repub
licans. Whatever influi nee Dr. Fel
ton and Emory Speer h ve with the
administration is his. He has high
recommend itions from such demo
ciars as Generals Gordon, Henrv R
Jackson, P. M. B. Young, Wofford,
Gartrell, and many others indiffer
ent parts of the state. H Is here, the
only caodida e in the fi Id. and will
remain f r some time to come. The
next term of court in ti e southern
district will !><• held in May and Judge
Erskine’s resignation will surely be
accepted b« f ire that time. If his sue
cesser has not been appointed or con
firmed, a judge from some other
court will be appointed to preside.

How We Treat Our Feet,
“A well-formed foot.” says Chap
man in "The American Drawing-
Book,” is rarely to be met with In
our day, from the lament ible distor
tion it is doomed t> endure by the
fashion of our shoos and boots. In
stead of being allowed the same
freedom as the flnger-i to exercise the
purposes for which nature intended
them, the toes are cramped together,
and are ci little more value than if
they were all In one; their joints en
larged, stiffened and distorted, forced
and packed together, often overlap
ping one anol her in sad confusion,
and wantonly placed beyond the
power ot service. As for the little
too and its neighbor, in a shoe
deform 1 foot, they are usually
thrust out of the way altogether, as
if considered supernumerary and
useless, while all the w rkis thrown
upon the great toe, although that,
too, is scarcely allowed work
ing room in its prison house
of leather. It is, therefore,
hopeless to look for a foot that his
grown under the restraints of leather,
or perfection of form; and hence
the feet of children, although less
marked in their external anatomical
development, present the beat mod
els for the study and exercise of the
pupil in drawing.”
Camper, who wrote, in the seven
teenth century, “On the Best Form
of Shoe,” says that his treatise origi
nated in a jest made with his pupils,
who'’did not believe I should dare
to make public a work on such a
subject,” which indicates the small
estimate that was put upon the foot
as an organ of the body. He begins
by deploring the perversity which
wholly neglects the human feet, while
forcing the greatest attention to the
feet of ’’horses, mules, oxen and
other animals of burden,”
and declares that from the
earliest infancy the foot coverings
worn serve but to deform them, and
make walking painful, and sometimes
impossibi ; and he lays the blame
on the ignorance of shoemakers,
James Dowie, a practical and scien
tific Seo ch shoemaker, in his excel
lent little book, makes the same
statements as the artist; and the
great Dutch surgeon, whose treatise
he had translated into English lan
guage, also laments that the subject
of the feet is so neglected by those
who are competent to instruct us
about, them. Lord Palmerstone said
to Dowie that ‘’shoemakers should
all be treated like pirates, put to
death without trial or merev, as they
had inflicted more suffering on man
kind than any class he knew.’’—From
the ’‘Fashion and Deformity in
Feet,” by Ada H. Keepley, in Popu
lar Science Monthly for March.

BLANCHE DOUGLASSES.
j A Remarkable Story Told by Walter
Malley, the Cramer Masher.
New Haven. February 19.—Walter
Malley says that Blanche Douglass
is in a Catholic religious institute out
west. He says he was in a New York
saloon recently and was attended by
a female waiter. He asked her to
drink with him and she quickly ac
quiesed. After a few remarks of a
general character, he asked her
name. To his surprise she said it
was Blanche Douglass. He asked her
if she remembered the incident of the
famous trim in New Haven, and she
said she did. Proceeding, she re
lated about everything of importance
connected with the trial. “Every
little incident,” said Mr. Malley,“tbe
names of ail the persons in any way
interested in the proceedings, the
details of the trial, a complete de
scription of my house and of promi
nent places in New Haven, a full story
of Blanche’s lite in jail, anecdotes of
Jailor Stevens and his wife, the testi
mony, arguments and other details
she related strictly in accordance
with the real facts, and with wonder
ful accuracy.
“I listened to her attentively, o f
course, much interested in the story
she told. She then said that her
room was situated a short distance
from the saloon, and asked me to
accompany her there, where she would
show me pictures of herself, Jennie
Cramer and all other incidents of the
trial.
“I was somewhat amazed at the as
surance of the girl and the connected
manner in which she told the story.
For a short time I did not reply to
her request to accompany her to her
room, but finally said: ‘Well, as lam
Waiter Malley himself,those pictures
would probably not interest mein the
least.'
“The girl left that table with sur
prising suddenness, not waiting to bid
me good night, I became a little cu
rions after bearing thio story ro know
how many girls there were using
Blanche Douglass’ name for the pur
pose of business, and as the result of
my investigations I discovered that

The Burnett-Turpin Affair.
Os the above sad affair the Macon
Telegraph of yesterday says:
A visit to the jail yesterday found
the Burnett brothers in good spirits.
John was Buffering considerably from
a swolen ear and other bruises on the
head received in the fight with Mr.
Turpin.
It his been claimed that neither
'he evidence nor Mr, Burnett’s state
ment brought out the real or original
cause of the trouble. It was said that
there had certainly been some quar
rel or dispute between Mr. Burnett
ana Mr, Turpin to cause the latter to
send the message which contained
the vile epithet. That there was
something back of the whole affair
that had not been developed a great
many thought, and for that reason
our reporter asked Mr. Burnett if
they had ever quarrelled, and if there
was anything hack of the whole af
fair.
“We never had a dispute or a quar
rel until tnat day,” Mr. Burnett said.
“Redeemed toget mad because I went
to work for Bur Brown, and he did
not spe .k to me in consequence.”
Several friends called at the jail
yesterday to see the young men.
They do not care to speak of the un
fortunate affair, and when they do
they carefully guard their speech
They hive employed as counsel
Messrs. Jemison, Guetia and Bart
lett. The preliminary trial will prob
ably take place to-day.
Ar the recorder’s court yesterday
morning the recorder dismissed the
warrant Issued by him and on which
they were held. He said the act did
not intend that the recorder should
exercise the functions of a magis
trate, except so far as temporarily
keeps those whom the evidence given
in city cases developed offenses
against the county and state,
Lanier & Anderson, who were at
torneys for Mr, Jt’urpin, have been
employed by Mrs. Turpin for the
prosecution.
The funeral of Mr. Turpin takes
place this afternoon. The interment
will be a temporary one, however, as
it is designed that the remains
be taken to Richmond and buried
there.
Mr. Edward Charleston, Savannah, Ga.,
says: I have used Brown’s Iron Bi ters

An important precedent relating to
street fights has been established in
London, Two boys were detected In
such an encounter by a policeman,
and one of them, who was summarily
judged to be the more guilty, was
taken before a magistrate. The cul
prit explained that be was not the
aggressor. The other boy, be said,
had been “converted,” and struck
him because he would not “turn re
ligious” too. His mother, moreover,
confirmed her son’s good opinion of
himself; but the judge decided that
the “converted” boy was probably
the better behaved of the two, and
fined the unconverted half a crown.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette suggests that
one cause of the remarkable floods of
the last two years is the introduction
of cheap tile, which has enabled
farmers to drain their lands much
more thoroughly than has ever been
done before. As a consequence the
lowlands, which formerly absorbed
great quantities of water, are now
quickly drained, and the creeks are
swollen Into rivers and the rivers
into devastating floods. Another
correspondent suggests as a remedy
tor this condition ot things the con
struction of ponds.
