k Great Judge.

Old Nod Wilson, blacker than the stripes on the mules he drov*> during the war, and young Nsth Potts, who was once the dark property of a Southern Coldnel, decided, after failing ih polities and becoming bankrupt in religion, to open an office aud begin the practice of medicine. They rented a small shanty, advantageously situated on the main street of a settlement Vnnwn <ia “RirnAf TTnma • anrl nounoed to the pnb’io that they were able to cure all diseases from dull* to the most aggravated attack of “dew ptxen," an aflfietion which seem* to have a peculiar fondnese for the colored gentleman. They had not Long engaged in th* practice of the healing art, when they were both arrested and arraigned before a negro justice of the peace. “What’* de charge agin dese h«ah ’fessional gen’armen?” asked the Jtetice, turningio the prosecuting witees*. “Chu«W ash, ter sen’ ’em whar de dogs doan’ set under de ash hopper an’ bark at de new moon. Da pisened my wife, sah." ’’’Splain yerse’fs,” said the magistrate, inclining his head toward the college of physicians and surgeons. ‘.‘Didn’do it,” replied Dr. Wilson. “Neber 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 flution, an’ arter da talked ’ronn’ ’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, Jedgs, an’ es dars 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’eine.” “Dese sacks is mightely agin -dC larned geri’ermen,” said the Justice with an air of deep decision. “In all my creer az a jurist o’ dis lari’, it ain’t been my painful duty ter fling de light o’ my knowledge on a wus case. Doctor Wilson, whut has yer got ter say.’’ “Jedge, I’se so full o’ laugh dat I can’t hardly say nutten. De ignunc o’ dis man would tickle an Injin. When we got ter de house, de ’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 ‘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 puffick gen’erman. Es I had my life ter lib ober agin, I would marry a man like de Jestice o’ de Peace. Oh, he’s sd smart, an’ now, while I lays heah, wid bof feet in de grabe an’ wid only one han’ out, suthin tells me dat man is gwine ter be a spreme jedge one o’ dese days. Good by ter all, I’se gwine/ “Dat’s zackly whut she said,” agreed Dr. Nath Potts. “8h» 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: ■'l’se ashamed o’ ver, sor, ter hab dese edycated zichions fotch up heah. Anybody ken see dat da un’erstan’s dar business. I flings yer in de cas’, fur yer ignunce. Gen’ermens o’ de medecal school yer discharged.”—Texas Siftings.

Not Appreciated.

One night a policeman who Was patrolling Grand River avenue and trying the doors of business houses came to a grocery and found the door unlocked and the key in the lock. He sprung the bolt, put the key in his pocket and sauntered on, and in the course of an hour he found opportunity to send word and the key to the proprietor. He didn’t expect any particular praise for his action, but he was hardly prepared for the storm which soon swooped upon him. The grocer himself, with battered hat, tom coat and two fingers bleeding, suddenly appeared befute him and said: “If I’ve any influence in this town 11l have you off the force inside of two days!” “Why, what’s the matter V “ Matter ? Ask me what’s the matter ? Oh! I’ll fix you!” “For what ? For finding your store unlocked and sending the key to your house ?” “Yes, sir! I was down there hunting up mustard for a sick child at home, and what do you do but lock me in and promenade off?” “Is it possible?” • , “And there I’ve been for an hour or more, and would be yet if I hadn’t crawled through a cellar window I Oh l ni lay for you, old guardian of the peace!”— Detroit Free Preu. A OambbuxH youth wrote the follow. Sf W* W? ftnto Sp-»P h ‘iburn i “In the chain of friendship regard me as a missing link:” and after signing his name he added underneath by way of postscript: “But do not mistake foe for.

GOULD TOLD TOO MUCH.

The Generally Silent Jay ijt Trouble for Breaking His Rule. Jay Gould and Russell Sage have the prospect of a suit for millions brought against them. The recen t examinations into the Pacific railroad b the United States Pacific. Railway Commision give a good deal of light to interested bondholders in Kansas Pacific stock. Prior to 1879 this road was burdened with a great variety of bonds, first mortgage bonds, land bonds, and what not. To get things smoothed out a consolidated mortgage wasjagreed on, with Jay Gould and Russell Sage as trustees. In 1879 the eonsolida ion of the Kansas and Union Pacific was projected. By a little scheme worthy of their great minds, Gould, Sage and Dillon arranged that action should brought to release 30,000 sharep of Denver Pacific from the mortgage. The face value of the stock was SIOO a share. The action, court busi e .‘S, referee and decision were all rushed through in a week. Then the roads consolidated and Denver Pacific rapidly rose to par. Now the s ockholders howl against the trio for the loss they have sustained. Frankfort and Amsterdam, where much of the stock was floated under tha consolidated mortgage, aro most interested. Their attorney is Mr. William H. DeLanoey—New York Star.

BILL ARP AND SLAVERY.

Cincinnati Enquirer: A quaint and pleasant conversationist of the old school is Major Smith (Bill Arp), pt Atlanta, Ga. The major was a slave-holder in his ; ounigor days, having received three families of negroes, some twelve persons in all, as the wedding portion of his wife. In talking al out th© slave question, he said: “This talk that the south lost $100,000,000 by the emancipation proclamation is all nonsense. I am prepared to show that the south did not lose a dollar. In all my experience as a slave owner, if I ever made a dollar by their labor r Ido not know it. We got their labor in exchange lor their food and clothing, the rearing of their young and the caring for the old. We get their labor for the same price now, without having the burden of responsibility for the young and the aged snd sick. We used to pay their doctor bills; now they pay their own. This difference is already seen fiom the fact that many men are accumulating wealth through the employment of negroes, who never got ahead a dollar in the slave days, although they were the owners of many slaves.”

Many people shook their heads when Hon. L. Q. C Lamar was appointed secretary of tue interior.. They said he was a dreamer and con’d not perform the practical .u----ties of a cabinet position. But it turns out that Mr. Lamar is the most useful member of the cabinet. All the great reforms of the administration have been made in his department. He has restored to the people 100,000,000 acres of the pub lic lands stolen by railroad corporations under republican administrations.—Fort Worth Mail.
