PARTING RESOLVES Valentine Democrat: This was the last term of court that Judge Kinkaid will hold in this county and. as a testi monial of tbeir regard the local bar, Sat urday, passed the foiling preamble and resolutions: When the legislature of 1886 formed the Fifteenth Judical District in north west Nebraska it became necessary for the goyernor to appoint a judge for the distric. Many applicants asked for the appointment, but the executive wisely chose Moses P. Kinkaid who was appointed in March 1887, an at the following fall electionwas nominated by republicans and elected by a large majority, and was successively elected for three four-year terms, the last of of which expires next January, when Judge Kinkaid will from his own choice retire from the bench of this district. Therefore, be it Resolved, By the Cherry County Bar, that we part with Judge Kinkaid as judge of the Fifteenth Judical District with regret; his kind treatment of the bar, bis forbearance and patience, has endeared him to ns as a kind social gen tleman; his strict impartiality and in tegrity in his rulings and decisions, his careful and painstaking way in bis rul ings in the trial of all cases, and his allowing to all litigants, higb, or low rich or poor, a fair-and impartial trial, has, beyond contrad ictlon, proved him to be fair and bonost judge and will ever commend him to us as a learned, honest and fair minded man. Resolved, That we part with Judge Kinkaid as our judge with sincere regret and we assure him that wherever he goes or in whatever business he may engage, he will carry with him our.heat.. wjabiiS^ and prayers for bis success and well be ing. Resolved, That this preambleand reso lutions be spread upon the journal of this court, and published in each of the cunty papers. By order of the committee. J. Wesley Tucker. F. M. Walcott. WHY NOT?

Old New England burying grounds have long been objects of special in vestigation to the antiquary. The quaintness of many of the Inscriptions found, and the historic interest of oth ers, ma j such places rich storehouses of local history. Once in a while, amid the recorded virtues of departed estimable housewives, pious clergy, valiant soldiers and worthy magnates, the curious reader is shocked at some unexpected trace of the institution which it is difficult to believe once ex isted in New England—negro slavery. In one old graveyard, the foot strikes against a small, chipped stone, so low and little that it is at first taken to be a footstone, rather than a headstone; but it is not. It bears the name, al most obliterated, Mingo, and proves to be the tombstone of a black slave baby three months old, a child, no doubt, of some household servant suf ficiently beloved by the family to have been accorded in her grief the favor of such an exceptional memorial. "Fortune, a faithful servant,’’ in an other graveyard, commemorates in grateful and appreciative terms a siave woman who once belonged to Tristram Dalton, the first United States senator from Massachusetts. Far more striking than any of tbq4e is an epitaph in the old cemetery at Concord, Mass., an epitaph which Mr. Abram English Brown, in a recent ad dress before the Bostonian Society, termed the first emancipation proclam ation. It runs thus: “God wills us free, man wills us slaves, I will as God wills. God’s will be done. Here lies the body of John Ja°k. a native of Africa, who died aged, -about CO years. Though born in a land of slavery he was born free. Though he lived in a land of liberty, he lived a slave, till by his honest though stolen labor he acquired the source of slavery which gave him his freedom. Though not long before death, the tyrant gave him his Anal emancipation, and put him on a footing with kings. Though a slave to vice, he practiced those virtues without which kings are but slaves.’’ In Germany and Holland girls are chosen in preference to young men in all occupations where they can bo ad vantageously employed.
