Tho Importance of the justice of tho peace is more felt the farther In fvotu the stir or towns. In cities this olllce, though It Is Important and dlgulllod, docs not receive the recognition that It should, but out In the country the Jus tice Is a big uiiiti, his decisions are gen erally llnal and his opinion Is eagerly sought. Oten, however, his knowledge of the law Is a little deficient. Iu a little town In middle Georgia .hero lived n lawyer, snys tho Atlanta Constitution, who has since made bis name famous through the South for eloquence, knowledge of tho law and practical sense. At this time he had about reached the stage where he could afford to stop practicing In justice courts, and to clinch this resolution ha had determined to accept no more prac tice for any fee under ?'-'0. One day n lady came Into his ottlca and Informed him that she had a case In a court about ten miles out In ths country, unit that she wanted him to take It for her. The subject of conten tion wns a cow. He told her of his fco, thinking to get rid of her In this man ner. From somewhere Iu her dress she pulled out some bills, counted over 920 and told him that he had to go. Still wishing to And a hole through which to escape ho Inquired its to the vnlue ot the cow. She answered 91.". He then nsked about the case, ntul when she bad finished her story lie Informed her that she had the wrong side of It and that whether he went out or not she would lose It. Nothing would change her determination, however; she want ed to law It out and he had to go. On the day appointed the lawyer drove out to court, having shut up his olllce for the day, and on his arrival there found everything In readiness for the trial. Tho witnesses were ceniuln ed nnd the counsel for the other side made Its pleu. Tho evidence was against him. but he determined to do tho best for the old lady and to rnttte the other lawyer If he could. He com menced his speech, mixed up nil the law he had ever heard of, ridiculed tlie other lawyer, rattled the witnesses, shifted about their testimony to please himself and utterly confused the jus tice, who looked on In amazement, un able to decide the case. When the speech was over the Judge said: "Hill, I will leave the case with you. If you really believe that your client should hnvo the cow, upon your bono: as a gentleman, 1 will give It to her." The Inwycr was surprised, nnd by no means desiring to lose the cow for his client, said: "Judge, you nre the judge In this case. I nm not. 1 mil merely expressing the opinion of my client." Tho Judge Insisted ou tin answer; so he was obliged to reply that he did not think his client had any right to the nnlmnl and the case was decided. Strange to say. the client was not angry, but agreed that under the cir cumstances he had done all that he could. It wns merely her desire to lnw It out that hud brought ou the dllliculty. MILES OF VARYING LENGTH. ScvcntceiiCountrlos Have Special Meas urements of Their Own. Uiigllsh-.spenklug countries, says the St. I. mils Globc-Dotuocrat, have font different miles tlie ordinary mile ol 5,'JSO fce.t ami the geographical ot nautical mile of 0.0S5, making u differ ence of about one-seventh between the two; then there Is the Scotch mile ot 5,028 feet, and tho Irish mllo of 0,720 feet; four various miles, every ono ot which Is still lu use. Thou almost every country has Its own standard mile. The Itomnus had their mil pass- uuiu, 1,000 paces, which must have been about 3,000 feet In length, unless we ascribe to Caesar's leglonnrles great stepping capacity. The German mile of to-day Is 24.31S foot lu length, ot more than four and n half times as long as our mile. Tho Dutch, the Dunes and the Prus sians enjoy n mile that Is 18,440 feet long, throe nnd one-half times tlie length of ours; and the Swiss get more exercise lu walking one ot their miles than wo get In walking live miles, for their mile Is 0,153 yards long, whllo ours Is only 1,700 yards. Tho Italian ratio Is only a few feet longer than ours, the Iloinnu mllo Is shorter, while the Tuscan and tho Turkish mllo nre 15(1 yards longer. Tho Swedish mile Is 7,341 yards long, and tho Vienna post mllo Is 8,700 yards In length. So here U a list of twelve different miles, nnd besides this thero are other measures of distance, not counting tho French kilometer, which Is rather less than two-thirds of a mile.
