The Camden ARK Herald relates the
following, which has the genuine Hoosier
tooang to it:
Judge O., who is man possessed OF
the usual quantum of judicial dignity, and
never suffers it to be run over without a
word of explanation from the offender was
administering justice in the town o.
The court was proceeding rapidly IN the
dispatch of the public business with an un-
usual degree of quietude, except the steady
peals of the full-toned and eloquent voice
of Col. W, the Jealous States attor-
ney, when all at once, out in the street,
hard by the court house, loud voice was
heard, making horrid use of the kings
English, and threatening great abuse OF
the human form divine, in this wise
"Jist hit me ifyou dare with that stick,
and | wish l may be chawed up if don't
knock the death groans out of your lnfar-
nal ribs ~ This attracted the courts at
tention, and caused the speaker to halt.
"Mr. Sheriff, bring that belligerent into
COURT" said the judge.
The Sheriff obeyed, and brought in by
the sleeve liberal specimen of nature
work in the shape of man about six fee
four inches in his brogans, not bad face
but Indicative of an inordinate passion fol
fat beef and bust-heac."
"Is that the man raising that disturb
ance outdoors Z" said the court.
"Well, 'spose is, if you call talking
in ycarncst raising fuss" replied the Of
fender.
The court commenced one of his mora
lectures, for which he is SO remarkable
strongly anmadverting upon the great
criminality of swearing, fighting, &c., &c.
when the offender, with great earnestness
spread over his countenance something
like mixture of a laugh and cry, inter
rupted the court and said:
"Stop, judge and let me tell you the tn
roze circumstance of it. l warn't the dl,
pressor He draw'd on me stick full
two feet over, and made circuml0c~t0rg
motions about my head, and jist oongeaI
ed myself on to my dignity, and suspended
myself on my rigbts-that's all %
This speech broke the thread OF the
cou,t's remarks, and for several minutes
with his under lip between his teeth, turn
ed over the leaves of his docket. A
length it said Let the gentleman retlr,

passed out the door, he was heard to say

I'm TROUBLE.

Although cockrooches abound inconven-
ently at the Mauritius, it was not without
pity that saw them consigned, as they
frequently were, to a living grave, by a
wicked-looking insect much resembling a
Spanish fly. 1t was impossible to witness
his proceedings, combined with his glitter
ing blue aud green dress, without inlagin-
ing the selfish demon Of a pantomime lead
ing an innocent victim to perpetual entomb-
ment in some haunted cavern. Let the
cockroach be NOV NJ briskly ac. oss the
wall, he has no sooner caught sight of the
fatal insect-not quarter Of his size
than all energy leaves him, and he stands
stupidity resigned. The fly then walks up
to him, looks him hard in the face, and
presently, putting forth some apparatus
which stands him in the place Of finger
and thumb, gently takes the cockroach by
the nose, and leads him daintily along for a
foot or two. Leaving him there, he COM
mences thorough examination of the
eighborhood, beating the ground up and
down like well trained setter, and, not
finding what he wants, returns to the cock
roach and leads him on little further,
when the same process is gone through,
sometimes for hours, until the whole wall
is examined. Chinks there are in plenty,
but they do not suit him; he has ken
the measure of the victims bulk, and
means to lodge him commodiously. Pre-
sently, u suitable hole is found, and the fly
moving backward, gently pulls the cock
roach after him into his last home. What
horrors are porpetuated in this dark rec IS
cannot be more than surmised. The OBJ
ject, undoubtedly, is to engage him as q
wet-nurse. No doubt the poor cockroacl
is bored in some part not vital, and egg
laid in him-a purpose, indeed, for which
his succulcnt and motherly frame is pecu
liarly adapted. And, not improbably
during the vicarious incubation, he is sup
piled with food, until the eggs which he i
impregnated, being hatched, commence
in turn, for his services, to gnaw hi
bowels, their receptacle" 1t is in vai
that during the scene above described, W
o urged the cockroach to seek safety in flight
The poke of stick is disregarded, he seem
! dead to all hints; nay, move him to an
= other part of the wall, he waits there wit
n the same stolid Indifference the re urn {
his tormenter. Probably thurst is give
him in the first meeting of the two "leI
j rous distilmcnt " dropped in his ear, ft
Y he has entirely the air of being hocussed.
