JUDGE WILSON, The Elgin Advocate says: '"There ap|>earano probability ofopposltlon in Kaae ooimty to Judge Wilson for «N of the Judges of this Circuit. He I* the candidate of a tery large ma­ jority of the Members •/ the bar (la fact we foam of little dissent,) and there la every rem on to think that he It the choice of a very great majority of the people. In flow of these facts, his /iomination and eleotlon may safely be regained ns among the certainties. He has not only the advantages of being popular in other counties than this, but It Is generally considered that Kane county befng the most populous of the district and central, should have one of the Judges. There are three to b» elected. The district comprises seven counties--Kane, Mcllenry, I)e- KaJb, Lake, Kendall, Dupage and Boone. The Republican candidates thus far mentioned as positively in the field, are Wilson, of Kane, Murphy aud Coon, of McHenry, and Upton, of Lake. Kellum,of DeKalb, is mentioned as a possible candidate. Judge Cody would like a re-election, but sut the Republi­ cans will probably run a straight ticket, his chances are slim." That sweet being whom the poetfc have so raved about in every age of the world--the lovller form and noble embodiment of the human race --but this Is a waste of time. What wo want to say Is this: That the full- grown, middle-aged, in fact, venerable sisters who are gathering names to a petition for the gi anting of the right of suffrage to women on the liquor . question, ought to have more sense. ,Do not these ladles know that a con- ^ stltutional amendment Is necessary for that, and that the LeglslatnM cannot change the constitutionf * , *. - 'The custom of observing Lent Is of great antiquity, dating back to the first ages of Christianity. From the commencement of the christian 'era it has been used to set aside a pe­ riod of humiliation and abstinence In remembrance of the sufferings.crucifix- Ion and resurrection of the Son of litod. just before Easter. The name is de­ rived from the Ssxon word ler.g, (spring) signifying the season of the year when it occurs. The length of ;tlme of the observance has varied, first having forty hours and thten thlr- ty-slx days. Four days were added In the nluth century, making, u at pr» •nt, forty days. r /• 9QT*Moy Jin Kee is a Chinaman of the; blue blood, studying for the minis­ try In New York.

The great walking match, which took place In New York last week, closed on Saturday night, and was won by ROwell, the English cham­ pion, with Ennis, of Chicago, second and Harrimau, of Boston third. 0'- Leary was taken sick and was obliged to abandon the track much to the mor­ tification of himself and friends. The stories that lie had boon drinking is false. The distance' made by the three pedestrians who kept the track Is as follows: Rowell, BOO miles; En­ nis, 475 miles; Harrlman, 450 miles.-- The distance made by the winner lacks 20J miles of O'Leary's record, which shows that had the champion been well he could have won easily. We learn that Rowell, the winner,has been challenged by both Ennis and Wen- ton, which proves that he will not be able to retain the belt without a strug­ gle. MfWra. E. Chandler writes to the New York Tribune predicting (hat President Hayes will resist the reac­ tionary Democracy at every point and Unite cordially with the Republicans of every grade. Chandler saj's, he makes thus prediction without retrac­ ting a single opinion concerning the past motives and action of the Presi­ dent: "Hayes Is now relieved from fear that the democrats wilt turn hint out and Install Tilden, and he lias also come to the place where two ways meet, and he cstn ne longer hold with with Demoor.its an d run with Republi­ cans. He will again be acting with if not securing the confidence of stalwart Republicans.
