jury; will yes whist till l tell his anar all
about it,
There's no jury here,' said the clerk
gruffly to Mr.. Brady.
@ well, araghmahree,' said Mr.. Brady,
what difference does 1t make whether
there is ornot; none in life; it's all the same
in the Greek, as Nancy DAILY said when
she offered two herrings for three half
pence, or four for three-pence.
What one woman what you call Nam
cy DAILY said has nothing to do with this
case said the judge, apparently becom-
ing ill-tempcred circumlocutious manner
in which Mr. Brady was making his de-
fence.
Mr.. Brady continued. % we'll since
you say so, let's drop Nancy DAILY like a
hot praytee and proceed. Now, as l was
sayln' what has Mr.. Finigan's anar to do
with the $50 he ows me? Jist as much
as have with the Chinasc tay question,
and the divil a haporth more; be me sowl
he had as much to say about his anar as
if he was born gentleman. l ask the
koort, did itiver hare such assurance be-
fore? l should like the koort to ask Mr..
Finigan where lie got his larnin'; a body
would supposed from his big words that
he had read navigation and the rest of the
classics. Thunder'n and turf, can't he
pay $50 and settle the thing quiet and
daycent, and not to be maxim a Judy
Fitzsimmons Of himself"
"Have you done?' said the court.
"Why thin, be me sowl, Pm not well
begun; can't he pay me the $50 or give
me his ]. O. and settle the matter at
wonst. No, he wont do that; but when
l ask him for me money he filings his rocks
of English-throws the whole dictionary
in me face, and faix betune you and me |
think the worst shin-plastcrs are the bet
ter currency"
Here the Judge told Mr.. Brady that
the time of the court could not be trifed
with in this manner: all that he said had
nothing to do with the question at issue.
lie would have no more Of it; but if the
parties had any evidence to call he was
prepared to hear them.
The orators on both sides begins thus
gagged, proceeding by the way, which
Mr.. Finigan emphatically pronounced
unconstitutional" the witnesses were
brought forward.
MIR. Finigan's tact at cross questioning
would have done honor to an Old Baily
lawyer, and Mr. Brady, in his own Pc
cu!iar way often poked stumper at the
witnesses.
The whole Of the important case of
Brady Us. Finigan having been gone thro',
the court took time to consider the evi-
dencc and reserve his judgment for fu-
ture occasion.
Great Yield.-Mr. John II. Tyree, at
his Golgotha farm, near Lynchbnrg, Va.
has this season raised 663 potatoes, mea-

Good Nutnre.--Damc Grundy was the
most good natured woman alive. Come
what would, every thing was right, no
thing was wrong. ng.-One day farmer Grun-
dy told a neighbor that he believed that
his wife was one of the most even tenn
pered women in the world, for he never
saw her cross in his life; and that for once
he should like to see her so. "Well,"
said his ncighbor, ego into the woods
and bring her load Of the crookedcst
wood you can find, and if it does not
make her cross, nothing will" Accor-
dingy,, to try the experiment, he teamed
home load of wood every way calcula-
ted to make woman fret. For a week
or more she used the wood copiously, but
not word escaped her lips. So one day
the husband ventured to inquire of her
how she liked the wood. "Oh, it is beau-
tiful wood" says she, Il wish you'd get
another load, for 1t lays around The pot so
complete"
