nounced to the public that they were able to cure all diseases from chills to the most aggravated attack of "dew pixen," an affliction which seems to have a peculiar fondness for the colored gentleman. They had not long engaged in the practice of the healing art, when they were both arrested and arraigned before a negro justice of the peace. “What’s de charge agin dees heah ’fessional gen’ermen?” asked the Justice, turning to the prosecuting witness. “Charge ’nuff, sail, ter sen’ ’em whar de dogs doan’ set under de ash hopper an’ bark at de new moon. Da pizened my wife, sah." “’Splain yerse’fs,'"-said the magistrate, inclining his head toward the college of physicians and surgeons. “Dida’do it,” replied Dr. Wilson. “NebeT pizened de’oman,” acquiesced Dr. Nath Potts. “But da did do -it Jedge,” declared the prosecuting witness. “My wife was sick wid de chills, an’ I sent fur dese gen’ermens. Da said dat da’d hafter hoi’ a ’sultation ober de ’Oman’s flntion, an’ arter da talked’rouni”er’while, da gin’er some sorter tea an’ de fust thing I knowed de po’ creetur was dead as a las’ year’s buckeye. Dis is de charge, Jedge, an* es dar’s any law in dis country fur a po’ man, da’ll meet wid a punisment what’ll sorter correct dar idees o’ de practice ’o med’eme.” “Dese sacks is mightely agin de larned gen’ermen,” said the Justice with an air of deep decision. “In all my ereer az a jurist 6’ dis lan’, it ain’t been my painful duty ter fling de light o’ my knowledge on a wns case. Doctor Wilson, whut has yer got ter say.” “Jedge, I’se so lull o’ laugh dat I can’t hardly say nutten. De ignnnc o’ dis man would tickle an Injin. When we got ter de house. <le ’oman was dun dead, but in respeck ter our medecal skill, sor, she commenced to breathe agin jes ez soon as we went in. Es we hadnter went in, she neber would have breathed no mo’. ‘Doctor,’ ses she, 'l’se mighty glad yo’s come, for it gins me a chance ter say what I wanted ter sav. De man what I married was a good citezen, but he wan’t my idee o’ a pullick gen’erman. Es I had my life ter lib ober agin, I would marry a man like de Jestice o’ de Peace. Oh, lie’s so smart, an’ now, while I lays heah, wid bof feet in de grabe an’ wid only one han’ out, sutliin tells me dat man is gwine ter be a spreme jedge one o’ dese days. Good by ter all, I’se gwine.” “Dats zackly whnt she said,” agreed Dr. Nath Potts. “She said dem words while we was makin de tea, but fore we could gin it ter her, she was dun dead agin. Now, jedge, dese are de sacks.” The Justice reflected for a moment, and then, turning to the prosecuting witness, said- *Tse ashamed o’ vet, sor, ter liab dese edycated zicliions foteh up heah. Anybody ken see dat da un’erstan’s dar bnsine j s. I flings yer in de cas’, fnr yer igr ■ tee. GenVrmens o’ de medecal s- 00l yer discharged.”—Texas Siflin-j .
