A NEW TRIAL GRANTED. old Ginguzzle was the terror of the union bar. Any of us would as lief have faced the_master we believed him to serve, as to.encounter “Old Gin,” as we called ]l'r>n, inf a case. There wasn’t a quibble he wasn't up to, nor a trick he wouyldn’t stoop: to. /Then his manner of treating a -youthful opponent—supereilious is no name for it—it was like administering a spanking in open court. It was no use appealing-to the judge. Old @&in bullied lim as much as he did the rest of us. It-wasonly the jury he took pains to be p})lite to, and how he did bamboozle them! i - 'Qld’Gin rode the'eircuit; and the deuce of it was, you could never tell -whem he would be rung in on you. Your case might be called for trial; you might rise to open, counting on a squure,ﬁghri'\'vith one for whom youw felt yourself fully a mateh, when, at the last moment, Old Gin, just retained on the other side, -would haul up your chair and stare you.out-of countenance. / L

" 1 had a pet case—it was a suit for | slander—and Pope Fallowbrain, not a legal giant, but the youthful author of much unpublished poétry, was employed to conduet the defense. I was confident of a brilliant vietory—if only Old Gin kept his fingers out of the pie. I thought once of employing him on my side, but I knew that he would take all the credit to himself, and I had no wish to be shorn-of my laurels: . : | ‘When my case was called, much to my relief, Old Gin was not on hand. It was early in the term, and residing in another county, Iy had not made “his appearance yet, ° o I announced myself ready; but, much to my disgust, Mr. IFallowbrain asked for a day’s postponement. Ilis client, he saiil, had lately employed Mr. Ginguzzle, who was expected that evening, and the defense would be ready to go on to-inorrow. j I protested agsinst the delay, and insisted that the unexplained absence of one counsel, when another was present—especially one as competent ag my learned friend-“pvas no ground for adjourning a trial. ' | "~ The judge knew Liwas right, but he ‘was too much afraid of Old Gin to. say 80. Ie knew what a rumpus the old fellow would be sure to make if the case was forced on in his absence. The trial, accordingly, was sef dm\:u} for! thé following day, then to'gp on peremptorily. - E { I+ left the coutt-room .much -cliagrined. I think I epuld have heard with composure of an accident to thé train Old Gin:was ¢oming on, if nothing worse had happened than breaking the old sinner’s neck. - It was in this frame of' mind that I met my friend, Sam Pokefun,-the best tellow at the bar, only a little too much inclined to practical joking. I explained the situation to Sam. “If Old Gin could be put out of the way for a day, it would he all right, would it ?” he asked. e “Of course it would,” I answered. “The yudgg‘. knows the case should have gone on to-day, and has ordered it to proceed to-morrow peremptorily.y o 2 v '

“I have an Idea,” said Sam; and he proceeded to untold it. What it was, the reader will see ‘in the sequel, - Old Gin had a failing—not an' only one—he drank ‘like a fish, only his beverage was different. His natural inclination was for Bourbon whisky, and for moisting purposes, he seldom used anything else.; For hiow much of it he could furnish inward storage was a disputed point which nobody cared to go to the expense of settling by actual experiment. . “On Old Gin’s arrival that evening, Sam and I invited him to-a little entertainment to be given at Sam/s room jafter supper. It was-to be a‘strictly private affair—none but the three of us to bé present, and the supply of Bourbon to be unlimited. ‘ old Gin highly appreciated such attentions from lis juniors, and it was wonderful how agreeably convivial he could make himself at their expepse... . ' | . On this occasion he outshone himself. | i

“He holds as much as a 2 bonded warehouse,” said Sam, aside,’ the fourth time the demijohn was sent out to be filled, : o : By drinkiug sparingly ourselves, and keeping Old Gin’s glass constantly replenished, we' managed to put him to bed boozier than he had ever been known. to be béfore. It was well all stopped at the same house, o the question of transportation might have presented difficulties. ; Next morning Sam and 1 were up betimes; and taking a live watersnake, which a boy had caught for us the ‘evening before, and which had been kept over night in a box, we slipped it into ene of Old (tin’s hoots left before the door, bending down the leg s 0 as to prevent the escape of the reptile, which, it is' needless to add, was quite harmless, We then entered Sam’s room, near .bj,‘ and waited.! © At length we heard Old Gin’s door open, and a moment after there came an-uproar that afforded ample excuse for our rushing into his room, and in - affected terror, dg:mamiing.wlmt Wwas thesmatter.- .t o « (% :

“Matter!”. roared Old Gin, rushing. after the snaké Wwith the poker, and knocking over everything in his way, “Just see what I found:in my boot!” making affurious blow, .which the snake dodged. - “See what ?” asked Sam. “Why, that' confounded snake!” at the same timé ‘making another ineffectual stroke. ! ,X “Snake?” I see no snake,” replied Sam, looking directly at if, Old Gin ﬂ;)urned );,»u]o. “You—you don’t mean to tell me there’s no snake there?” he stam-< mered. i ; “None that I can see,” returned Sain. “Then, boys, I 've got’em!” screamed Old Gin. . “Run for a-doctor!'— quick —quick!” _ . ' “You don’t mean you’'ve got delirium tremens ?” inquired Sam, looking frightened. ! “Genuine jimjams!”’ gasped Old Gin —for heaven’s sake run for a doctor!” Meantime the snake had disappeared under the bed, a circumstance which only served to heighten Old Gin’s alarm, as it convinced him that his former impressions had all been delugive. ‘ i ; J.eaving Sam to take care of the patient;‘l hastened to call in Mr. Prebang,"to whom the case was stated. The Doctor was a devout believer in active remedies and plenty of them, Hig first step was to throw .Old Gin into as deep a sleep as opium could put him in; the next was to shave hig head and blister it. This last we - would- have prevented if we could, for we had no wish to injure the old wretch; but the doctor pooh-poohed our remonstrances, adding that he “knew his own business.” o When court opened, Old Gin wasn’t there. Fallowbrain was nervous. He asked a moment’s indulgence while he crossed the street to the hotel and inquired after his associate. He was met at Old Gii’s ddor by the doctor, who refused him admittance, as well a 8 any information concérning his patient, ; i

Poor Fallowbrain was mystified. gi‘hurriéd back to the court-house, beggifd another day’s delay. linsinuated that if suitors would persist in employing counsel of too convivial habits, itjwas but fair they should take the couquueuces, concluding by reminding| the court that the case had been set for that day peremptorily. ,The‘j‘xidgevszad it must go on, and e result was a victory quite as brilliant as }lmd anticipated.My triiiun ph was short-lived, though. For t-wq‘ days Old Gin didn’t show himself, On the third day he came into comrt “with his head swathed, looking very pale, and mad as a Modoe. | : - e ~The snake, it appears, after some hours, was tired of his hiding place, and crgwling forth, was discovered and kil&(»(l by the doctor. -+ J Of course the cat was out of the bag. Old_Ginhad a good head for circumstautial evidence, and was not slow | to work up the ¢ase. b

He ujoved for a new trial on a long affidavit, minutely setting forth the circumstances of the conspiracy of which he had been the victim—the }J.Od)' u$ the snake, in a bottle of spirits, being gttached as an exhibit. = TliE motion was granted, and when the cage came on the next time, didn’t I ('th(‘h ity : : '

Hoi\{to'Laugh and Grow Fat. “ Langh and grow fat” has been an adage [ffrnm dme immmemorial, and the ;»,‘(:11@';11 u]_»iuiou of manlsind is that a good, hearty laigh, or a series of ‘thvm,lis conducive of ‘health. Just how this outward exhibition of mirth opcrut}vs to put fat on tlie ribs we have nowr%so(m explained, and are left to cnnji“-()_}turo whether it is a mechanical or spiritual process, accomplished througrh_tlw diaphragm or digestion, the senses or the soul. All know that cheerfulness aids digestion, and as hon(::stt men do not langh except when thvy ;fmf cheerful, the act betokens a frame of mind most favorable to the healthy action of the digestive organs. Those persons who firmly Dbelieve in the laughter cure will find a strong confiymation of their theory in the I‘4)llo\[&‘.iug story. narrated by the Pittsburg |Gazette: o

A ghort time since two individuals were lying in one room, very sick, one with brain fever and the other with an-aggravated case of the mymps.— They! were so low: that watehers were needed every night, and it was thought doubtful if the one sick of a fever 'we{ultil recover. A gentleman was engaged to watch oyer night, his duty ,hcin;t to awake the nurse whenever it becaine necessary to administer medicine.| In the course of the night both watdhers fell asleep. The man with the mumps lay watehing the clock, und-%;m‘ that it was time to give the fevel patient his potion. He was un«ablelto speak aloud or move any portion jof his body except his arms, but tseizing a pillow he managed to strike ithe watcher in the face with it. Thus suddenly awakened, the watcher Sl’)l'il*‘lg to his feet, falling to the floor, and pwakened both the nurse and the f'e\’v'}' patient.. The 4ncident struck the dick men as very..ludicrous, and theylaughed heartily at it for fifteen or L\“p'(:ul,y minutes. When the doctor came in the morning he found both puli;(j,nts vastly improved; said he never saw so sudden a-turn for the bett¢r: and now both are up unq well. g2S i e ) | That Caucus. : {From the Huntipgton Democrat.]

.'l‘l{:e conduct of such members of Congress as Eldridge of Wisgonsin,. Niblack of Indiana, and Randall of Penmsylvania, who may be regarded as the leaders of the demoeratic representation in Congress, and therefore in a measure accountable for the acts of that body, cannot be too strongly condemned by their constituencies and the masses of the democratic party for their efforts to condone the salary grab by uniting upon one of the conspicuous characters in that rapacious transaction for Speaker of the ITouse. These defiant conspirators have not only possessed themselves of the back and inecreased pay and had the audacity to justify the iniquity, butithey have outraged decency by supporting that hoary old sinner and vet¢ran corruptionist, Fernando Wood, oi")k'(,-w Ydrk, for the highest position in the louge of Representatives, and s«m;}:ht to popularize the villainy upon some- such principle as Vice, the. mouster of hideous mien, is by familiarily bereft of its horrid aspect, then pitied and embraced. There is no propheeying with certainty what the rasc¢als may succeed in accomplishing by their impudence and pertinacity, butiat this period- there is apparently an uncompromising prejudice against them. The Republicans in Co‘ngres‘? ~aremno less culpable than the Demo* crats. They have re-elected Mr. Blajne, who is taintet all over, as .Speaker; and Ordway, a notorious shuLi'pm' and trickster, as Sergeant-at-arms. The salary-grabbers on ‘both sides seem disposed to play into each other’s hands and may develope a strength which the combined forces of the honest portion of Congress will not be able to break in upon. It stands to 3119 credit of Judge llolmarx, of this Staite, and the lon. 8. S. Cox,| of New York, that they répudiated the act of | the salary thieves, and withdrew from the caucus in which their disreputable plans were hatched. '

Walker’s California Yinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from | -the native herbs found on the lower * -ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains. of California, the medicinal - -properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. Thel!question is almost’ daily asked, - ‘“What is the cause of the unpar“alleled success of VINEGAR! Bri- - TERsS T’ Our answer is, that they ° remove- the cause of disease; and - ; the patient recovers his health. They are the great blood purifier and ‘a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compeunded possessing the remarkable qualities of VixEGAR BITTERS in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to. They are .a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of -the Liver and Visceral Organs, inl Bilious ‘Diseases _ , L - The properties of Dr.’ WALK--ER'S VIXEGAR BITTERS are Aperient, Dia- .- phoretic, Carnlinative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irtritant, Sudorific, Alterative, and Anti-Bilious. Grateful Thousands proclaim VINEGAR BITTERS the most wonder- - ful Invigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. . s . 'No Person can take thése Bit- - ters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided : their ~* bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or oether means, and - vital organs wasted beyond repair. . Bilious, Remittent, and In- . termittent Fevers, which are so vprevalent in the valleys of our great - rivers throughout the United States, .- especially those' of the Mississippi, ‘Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennesses, - Cumberland, Arkansas, Red; Colo_rado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, -~ Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Roanoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, through- . out our entire country during the . ~* Summer and Autumn, and remarka- . bly so during seasons of unusual ~~heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derange- - ments of the stomach and liver, and other-abdeminal - viscera. - In their treatment, a purgative; exerting apowerful influence upon these vari-, ~ous organs, is essentially necessary. “There is no cathartic for the purpose . equal to DR. J. WALKER'S VINEGAR - BrrTers, as they will speedily remove - thedark-colored viscid matter with which . " the bowels are loaded, at the same timae - stimulating the scerétions of the liver, and-generally restoring the healthy func~tions of the digestive organs. ~ Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with . -VINEGAR ‘BiTrERs.
