a bogus female evangelist.

The Victim of a "•Combination of Circumstances/'

A Gianf an.i IKiu Pigmy Wife.

From the ow York Ann ay Telegram January 3Hh,lS7ti. "If I were worth a million dollars," observed his Honor, as he raised the inkstand and critically examined the point of an old steel pen "if I were worth a million dollars I would do much to bflp the poor, What would you do ,Mr. MeMam.eV"

4'If

I were worth amillion dollars, slowly repeated the old man, as he sjently rubbed his bald head,

ail the poor old men, white

kid shoes for the children, and every poor woiEi should have one of the nicest spi ing corses to be found New York. Ah! it makes my heart ache to think how much I could do for the poor if some one would only give me a million dollars!"

dont suppose'" said His Honor, looking down-hearted, "that either of us will have- a hundredth part of that money, we must struggle along, Mr. McManu.s and do the best we can and live as happy as wo may and if the poor come to oar doors we must not turn them away empty handed, even if we have to cut a raisin cake. You may hand up Eome of the gentlemen and ladies in waiting, and this stem decrecs of justice 3hall be mixed with the oil of mer* cy to the pest of my ability."

A BLOOMING REPRESENTATIVE He was a man whose age might be estimated ali 'lie way from thirty to one hundred aud fifty, and the estimator would have been as correct as a governmenf architect generally is. when he epoke, his feature lighted up and beseemed younger When his cross-cut voice was silent he looked like au aged man of a thousand sorrows.

Aud sjaie one mii? ht have fancied that his face resembled that of the late Senator Sumwer, thought we do not know that Senator Sumner was ever brought before the Tombs Court in bis life. "My defense," said the pnsiener, as he settled in position, "is that 1 have inherited love of liquor from my lamented father, and 1 have to drink it as regularly as you do water." "I guess not," replied His Honor, looking up .sharply. "Sir," said the prisoner, moving back a little, "I represent the Johnson family, of New Jersey, and the

Johnsons never lie! It ain't io 'em, I've known 'em to swear and steal and run hordes, but they don't he— the Johnsons don't." "And your late lamented father loved whisky, did he?" asked the Court. ... "He did, aud his father did, and it runs back through five generations, replied the prisoner. "Did any of your ancestors meet with any trouble while sleeping off their drunks in the alleys?" "Never, sir." "The police always let 'em alone,

di^YesyS

or else carefully led them

home. The Johnsons sir, were nevera low-down set. Any of them looks well in an old cra ', aud they know what to do with their hands and feet when they go to a party. The Johnsons, sir, have had a President of the United States they are foremost in war hindmost in peace, respectable in character, and they can't be degraded.

After due reflection the Court re

whom I have seen hung-saylnK nothing of the numerous Johnsons have seen in jail—entirely wiping from memory the fact that I

"I am a Johnson," and •'And I am Mr. McMannus interrupted the old mail of the stockade, "and I will fee that you go over «n iu°t as «-ood style as if ou had Ifeen chared with distilling, four huudved barrels of crooked whisky.

TIIK LAWS OF NATURFC.

He loomed up like a giant, and she was a '.ittie woman with a peaked noBe, aud a voice weighing 12 ounces

to the pou~d. He had given her a black eye, and was there to auswer for it. "Thii its yMr wife is it," a*ked His Honor. "I spose so," growled the man. "And you gave her that black eye, did you." "How could I hurt her, your honor? She's an a\* fui fighter, and I'm weak and sick, and I couldn't light a bird when she pitches into me, and kicks me, and nearly murders me (HOW COULD HE.) all I can do is to get over it."

His Honor looked from the giant to the pigmy and smiled aud said: "Mister Williams, it is a law of nature that the small and weak should hurt the bi and strong. The rabbit kicks the grizzly bear around the mackerel makes the whale hunt for peacef-i] arhor,« the cansry bird wollops the bald-headed eagle out of his boots. Ici» but natural that your little wife should pound you around and break your bones."

lAud

also help the poor. After I had a brown-stone ont, a big wholesale store, six or eight hordes, ten servants fine ciothey, diraond$, and some other necessaries of life, I'd begiu to take care of the poor. I'd by a blue silk nesktie

it's too bad, sir," said the

giant. "Yes, it is. This woman may murder you if nothing is done. I will, theVefore, give you three months on the island to get you out of her way."

The prisoner opened his eyes very wide, the blood rushed to his enr.i and he growled:— "I didn't believe you any of the tinif! I want a lawyer, eiri" "You want several things," replied his Honor, as he signed his name. "A now free wouldn't be a bad thing for you, and I think your voice could be sandpapered, painted and greatly improved."

"If you knew this woman you would send her up too!" exclaimed the man. "But I don't, and I haven't time for an introduction this morning. I know that if I was a little woman with melancholy ear9 and sharp nose, and you were my husband and gave me a black eye, I'd"

The little woman was listening attentively, aud he finished: 'I'd call the police."

A MAN OF CIRCUMSTANCE. Mister McMauus next brought out middle-aged man of soft and easy speech and good address. He bad an ancient looking plug hat in his hand, and the main seam in hi9 faded blue broadcloath coat bad opened until cotton batting could be been in a dozen places. He was a bard up man, but he had a defence, and he loved liberty. 'Is your name Polhemus?" asked the Court. "I see how certain circumstances could combine and conspire to make my name Polhemus, but it is not now," was the bland reply. "Then it must be Rockland?' 'Jit need not necessarily be that, but it is." was the soft answer. "You were drunk, and you raised a in & restaurant," continued His Honor. "I see how a combination of unlortunate circumstances might have placed me under Hie influence of strong drink," replied the prisoner, placing his cane on the lioor and Holdinn his hands under bis coat tails. "Then you plead Ruiltj?" "Not necessarily." "Well, I have £ivau you the officer's statement. He is ready to swear to it, and if you have a deleuce, let me hear it*" "I admit that the cravings of nature induced me to enter a restaurant, said the prisoner. "I gave a colored gentleman an order for certain portions of the anin:al and vegetable kingdom,but bo refused to carry out my instructions." "He carried ycu out, did he?" asked the court. 'He attempted to sir—be attempted to. I see how a combination of certain circumstances might have enabledhim to accomplish his aims, but they didn't combiue. I lioally walked out of the place and came here." "I believe the charge should be vagrancy," said the Court, alter a look at the old hat and still older suit of clothes. "I readily admit that certain circumstances could arise to place mo in an equivocal position towards ready pay," replied tbe prisoner, "but will this

Court conduct? this trial on tbe theory that

have already been placed in that position?" "Your trial will be conducted on the theory that you go over to the Island for sixty days. "It need not nocessarily be!', was the reply, while the prisoner's face wore the same smile as at the beginning of the'rial. "Well, that is the sen ence, and I hope von yfiH go to work wben yon come out, and abandon the ideu[anybody owes you a living

"1 see how a combination of circumstances could bring about such a desideratum, "said the man "but wouldn't it be more compatible with the advanced ideas on prisons and prison reforms, to bid me take my liberty and run my cbances of borrowing two cents to get over into Jersey?" "The sentence is recorded. Let Ibis be a warning to you." "I see how a combination of adverse legal decisions cou'd bring about the subject alluded to," replied the prisoner, and he bowed, picked up his cane an'dfollowtd Mister McManus down stairs.

SOME CHRISTIAN TALK,

Forty years had swept over her head. She had seen the rise and fall of country quilting-beesjhad belonged to a dozen societies to help the heat hen in Africa, while her own boys were wearing hind patches she had "wept over the close of the strawberry season, and smiled an the luscious watermelon made his humble bow to an appreciatiua public.

She was solemn. As Mr. McManus opened the: door of tbe atockada

His Honor regarded her with a look of suspicion and astonishment. "Can you truly say that aro prepared to submit your record she coutin ued. "I can truly say that I think you had better be turning your attention to his charge of drunkenness and row-rais-ing," he replied. "Are you living such a life as will fit you l'or the bright hereafter?" she earn estly inquired. "Betsy Jane Gill, you had better drop that. I remember now j'ou have been here before, and here are witnesses to swear that ycur everyday conduct is such as to tickle Satan half to death," "Will yon join me in ringing a hymn?" she asked

'•I'll join you to a seLtence of sixty days, Mrs. Gill and if you don't cease tbis profanity I'll doable on the time Here you stand—eyes bleared np, face red with vilo whiskey, hair all dropping out—and talk abont religion! You ought to be asbamtd of yoursell! "I have undergone a change of heart," she observed. "You want to undergo a change ot clothing as well.

"Old woman," said the Court, alter beowing upon iier a long 'coli of pity, "I hope you may get to heaven. I hope we may all get there.

He didn't look like a man who woaid kick tbe Goddess of Liberty down stair.-' on such a bright day. but his looks belied him

His Honor was makiug ready to question him he said:— "l'dratber have my wickeness than your dald head and red goat.et!"

"Dont

guoty to being drunk, and thesoonei I go to prison the sooner I'll pet a change o! clothes and a quare meal." "You want to go up, do you?" '•That's me!" "Clear discouraged, are you. "Gaze on this raiment!7 said the prisoner as he stepped back. "Three months ago I weighed 16) ponds. See my leanness now! I'm run down and weak and clayed out and I want rest. I want roaat chlcnen and oyster stew, and sponge cake, and some oae to wait on me and f-liow me attentions, and !n the spring I'll come out fait ana encouraged an lull of grit, Make it ninety days." "I'll do it," replied His Honor. "Be careful for a few days how you tear xoast chicken to pieces, or you ruay bring on dyspepsia. Trot along

As the Court noticed that 'oe had prescribed for the last patiei t. on hand, he beckoned to a small boy with a sty ou his eye, and said: "My wn, are you trying to ba g-»od "I'd be tne boss good boy it the oilier boys didn't run their toueuea ou at me and make me mad," was the reply. "Don't let any thins dlscouraKe you, sonny," continued His Honor. "You are now moulding your character for life.

The boys stayed to ask Mr. MciManus if it were true that he owned s» fivhtiugdog and was once charged with murdering his mother-in-Jaw. '•Lnr'bless you, boys, he sighed, as he rolled up his eyes, "I can bear dogs, nohow. and my

TBE PRESS GUXIiD.

A Walk on JTewspaper Haw, "Perry" We«tfall has aged visably, within the past fortnight. There are now silver hairs among the gold, on his carrot patch.

Henderson does the smiling business for tbe Mail now-a-days. The weight of that octagonal pow wcw seems to sit lightly on his shoulders.

Shepherd, of the Expres?, called 'Shep" for short, has ordered a new note book. It will be made to order, and will be three sheet posrer size. This gentleman is also studying short hand, and has learned, already, how to abbreviate the word "enjoyable." By this change he hopes to save ten lead pencils a week. He eats—but read the reports of the meetings of the Horticultural society in the GAKETTE, and seo fur yourself.

Captain Potter, is undoubtedly, the champiou amateur journalist of the State. He is ready at all times with his keen pointed pen, (which is mightier than a brigade of cavalry, to measure his prowess with that of any man who walks, whether it be a gormandizing Express reporter or a Town Talk writing clergyman.

It is confidently asserted that Herr Herschberg, of the .Banner, has grown shorter by full twelve inches since bis famous interview with John Lamb. Herr Hers-chberg is a great lover ofsaur kraut.

Th?r is not a man in Terra Haute who has a keener appreciation of a trood glass of beer than Lustig, of the Banner. There is an old saw which says, "He who drinks beer, thiuks beer,"

Hitchcock, of the Republican, indulges iu no extravigance. He lives on the plaiuest kiud of diet, in fact, he eats nothing but mush. If it is true that he who drinks beer, thinks beer, it is also true that he who eats mush, thinks mush, and consequently writes mush.

Prilchard, of the Republican is extremely fond oflimburger chcese. Cutting, of the Republican, never mix^S 1IH drinks. He is fond or raw beefsteak.

Jones, the editor of the Journal job work, says no man can enjoy good health who eats anything but pork and beans, and other things..

Hon. B. F. Havens, of the Journal is the most cautious editorial writer, in Terre Haute. If he should, by any chance, say anything! which, on mature deliberation he is sorry r, he's never glad of it. as the wicked editor of the mail would be. The Honorable Ben invariably apologizes in the next issue of his paper. It is whispered in newspaper circles that Mr. Havens subsists entirely on fish.

Grimes, of the Journal, takes hold of the newspaper business with considerably spirit. But he has lost his old time confidence in himself since he discovered that he had been feeding his horse on granulated sugar instead of salt.

Green of the Journal, is the most matter of fact writer in tne city. He rejects everything but established trntbi.

Itvls

hard to discover what

Green eats, he wont tell, and we have not beep able tp lind any one who knows. putWe the question dlrectly to him the other day and were met with this contemptuous exclamation "Oh Phiz!" fV+f

C. W. Sanders, tbe erratic youth who formerly misrepresented the GAZETTE ou the streets of Terre Haute, is living in retirement in Columbus, Ohio, where he amuses his large circle of acquaintances with tales of the tremendous furore he created in Terre Haute newspaper circles. He subsists on—well, anything he can get.

Burton G. Hanna has given up ali idea of becoming an editor. He is now engaged in a spiritual controversey with Messers Hudson & Jones, concerning the value of his services as editor of the Journal. Messers H. & J, claim that his services were worth nothing at all, and call upon all kite li gent readers to sustain them in their position.

Rev. E. Frank Howe will write no more editorials for the Mail. He has arrived at sage conclusion that newspaper glory is no glory, and that newspader men area bad lot. "Throw physic to the dogs" says the Rev. E. F. H. "I'll none of it."

Dave Earl of the Express, whon is famous for exploring expeditions among tbe lower orders, intends to make a tour of the houses of ill report. He promises however that make a good report of bis tour. He has made extensive preparations for

Earl subsists, for tbe greater part on raw beef-steak and onions. "Col." R. N. Hudson has retired for the present from the Journalistic field. This was necessary on account of the delicate conditio* of 1the Colonels" health. He found the atmosphere of the Journal office oppressively warm in fact, one might say it

extremely hot. Col. Hudson

Happily this unfortunate quarrel is at an end, ami YE GAY GAZETTEERS will have an opurtunity to devote themselves to the collection of news, the dissimination of knowledge aud the teaching of moral lessons to the people.

Mr. Campbell asserts that it was not himself but bis hired man, Lucullus, who turned the unfortunate creature out of door on that bitterly cold ni^ht.

Attention Parents.

Parents should not forget that the time spent by their children in idleness these long winter evenings might be used in gaining a good commercial education. The Terre Ilaute Commercial College of Messrs. Garvin fe Heinly has no superior as a business college, in the country. A night session of tbe school is kept running during the winter months. To it their children might just as well as not now be going, and by so doing they will secure a business education which will be almost invaluable to them in after life.
