During the entire evening the favorite
belle received the most devoted attentions
I from Mr.. Mnngum. Many of the ladies',
who thought they possessed some attrac-
tons, We're greatly mortified at his marked
preference, and two or three gentlemen
evinced the strongest symptoms of laboring
under the Influence of envy and passion.--

An ILLINOIS JoDsE.-Not very many
years ago there were some toleraby rough
characters on the Illinois bench, among them
was 10 be numbered old Judge b., of 49,,
concerning whom they tell some pretty hard
stories. ia
: One night, while the Grand Jury happcn-
ed to be sitting, Judge b., with the whole
Court al his back, got royalty drunk at the
Eagle Saloon, and raised a devil of a row.
1t was late next day when the Court assem-
bled, and they were all rather red about the
eyes and husky in the throat; but the Judge
mustered all his dignity and took his place.
The clerk opened the business of the day
with pile of indictments from the Grand
Jury. He went very glibly through the pre-
liminaries, paused moment as he came to
the gist of the matter and went on--with n
sly wink g. his next ncghbor--with BiH
against Judge u. for disorderly conduct at
the Eagle Saloon the night before. "Quash
that Indictment, Nv. Clerk Numbered the
Judge. The clerA laid il down with grin,
which speedily changed as he went on to the
next, couched in similar language against
himself. "Quash that indictment,n re-
peated the Judge. The clerk went ON with
third one, against the Sheriff. "Quash
that Indictment" roared the Judge. -
% Quush all those indictments--the Court
adiourns' and accordingly the Court did
adlourn--to the Eagle; where they speedily
drowned the memory of the insult by drink
ing confusion TO the Jury, and getting up a
regular rough and tumble between the clerk
and the sherifi.--N. y. Spirit Of The Times.
