ALaxysr N...el...ea.

The following snecdote, which 10 said to
be literally true Of IN eminent New Bedford
lawyer, recently deceased, wss contributed
some wears since to the Knickerbocker. As.
however, all the details were not given, and
an sssumed name given to the chief actors,
we will relate it more folly here.
The lawyer in question, who was then
quite young. was retained as advocate in q
case. on which, not feeling himself sufficient
ly prepared to plead, he was very desirous OF
obtaining a postponement. As. however,
the Court had already protracted its session
beyond the usual period in consequence of
an unusual amount Of business, and Of course
the jury were getting impatient to be re-.
leased from .her duress. he was well aware
that il would be impossible to procure such
postponement, unless he could allege some
extraordinary cause.
Fortunately, or unfortunately. as the re-.
suit proved, he had lively Imagination, and
had quickly formed plan which he was sure
would be successful.
Rising with his handkerchief to his eyes,
he addressed the Court in great apparent
emotion:
"May it pies.e the Court. have just heard
Of the dangerous illness of my venerable
mother, who is lying at the point of Death
Under such circumstances, much as regret
protracting an already heightened session,
must request that this case be postponed =
My feelings are 80 powerfully agitated that
I should be unsble to do justice to the case,
feeling as do that my proper place is at the
bed side of my mother"
The pathetic appeal was completely sue
cessfu. A feeling Of earnest sympathy for
the afflicted counsel pervnded all hearts, and
the jurors. though anxious to retorn to their
families, were not sufficiently hard of heart,
to wish TO have the business Of the Court
proceed at such sacrifice of personal feel.
ings.
The Judge, who was tender.hearteG man
had risen, and was about 10 grant the request
of the counsel. when the deep hush wss bro.
ken by shrill voice, which proceeded from
lady in Quaker bonnet, who was bend
ing over the railing OF the gallery. II was
the mother OF the eloquent counsel, who so
far from being at the point Of death. came
without her sons knowledge, to hear him
plead.
"rimothy, Timothy" she exclaimed in a
voice which could be heard ell over the house
.' Timothy, Timothy, hoD often haze chas-
tised thee for lying!"
II is needless to say that the court room
fairly shook with laughter, and the eloquent
counsel-;he late Timothy Coffin, as perh aps
our readers have conjectured-sat down
completely non.pIussed.
The case wasn't postponed.

Extract ffSm the Lite ee Gen. sam.
HeAssen--His Marriage aAd Subse-
quens Divorce.
In January, 1899, he married Young lady
ofrespectabIe family, and Of gentle character.
Owing to circumstances, about which far
more has been conjectured than known by
the world, the union seems to have been rs
unhappy as it was ehort. In less than three
months separs ton took place, which filled
society with the deepest excitement. Vari-
Gus reports few through the State, all ofthem
unfoundcd, and some OF them begotten by
the sheerest maliginity, which divided the
people Of the State into two hostile parties
and inflamed popular feeling TO the last point
OF excitement. As usual on such occasions,
those who were most busy in the affair, were
the very ones who knew least about the mer-
its of the case, and had the least right to in-
terfere, Blu; unfortunately for the peace OF
society. there is everywhere class Of i'm
pertinent busy bodies, who make It their
special business to superiptend and pfy
into the domeetic affairs Of their neighbors
and as curiosity must be grai;fied at any ex'
pense to private character, and such persons
always like to believe the worst. the secrets
of no family are exempt from their mslig-
na at intrusions. These are the disturbers ol
the peace of society whom the law seldom

sins of the characters of the innocent.
| Thinking most probably, that they were
doing her kindness. the friends of the lady
los ded the name of Houston with odium. He
was charged with every species Of crime
man ever committed. The very Ignorance
of the community about the affair, by incress
ing the mystery which hung over il, only
made it seem the more terrible. In the
meantime, Houston did not offer a single
denial Of a single calumny-would neither
vndicate himself before the public. nor al.
lew his friends to do It for him. He sat qui.
etly, and let the storm of popular fury rage
on. From that day he has even among his
confidential friends, maintained unbroken 81.
lence and whenever he speaks of the lady. he
speaks of her with great kindness. Not q
wcrd has ever fallen from his lips that cast q
shade upon her charater, nor did he ever a.!
low an unkind breath against her in his
presence. Whatever may have been the
truth Of the matter. or whatever his friends
may have known or conjcctured, he had but
one reply for them:-"This is q painful, bu
it is a private affair. do not recognize the
right of the public to interfere in it, and
shall treat the public just as though it hat
never happened. And remember that, what
ever may be said by the lady or her friends
it is no part of the conduct Of gallant or ,
generous man to take up arms against wo
man. II my character cannot stand ths
shock, let me lose it. The storm will sooI
sweep by, and time will be my vindicator."

Yesterday morning while the steamer
Helen Mar was at Mt. Carmel Iils., the Clerk
and Mr.. Robert Parkinson. commission mer-
chant. got into an alteration and the latter
was shot by the former. The facts of the
case are as follows:
A keg or barrel Of lemon syrup for one OF
the citizens OF the town, and consigned TO
Parkinson was put of, and il was ascertain
ed that very considerable portion of il had
leaked or been drawn out, and Mr.. p. re.
fused to receive il, saying at the time that II
was not in good order. The clerk insisted
that it was in good order, and Dir. P. insis-
ted that it was not, whereupon the clerk
struck him, and he resented il by striking
the clerk. The captain of the boat immedi-
ately handed the clerk a pistol, with which
he shot Mr.. Parkinson. Dir. p. had no
weapons and turned to retreat and the miscre.
ant shot him again, and followed him into
his warehouse atd shot him third time.
Each ball took effect. but whether Mr.. p.
is dangerously wounded or not we did not
learn.
We have been acquainted with Mr.. Par.
kinson for yeaIs, and know him to be one
Of the very best men living. He is peace
able, energetic and worthy citizen, and his
loss to Wabash county would be felt more
than that of any other man.-We have not
learned the name Of the clerk Of the Helen
Mar, but have no doubt he is like too many
river characters, a low worthless fellow, and
would il he had his deserts, been in the PEN
itentiary years ago.
The captain was arrested in this city yes
terday evening, as an accomplice, and we
suppose sent back to Mt. Carmel to stand
his trial. The clerk has not been found
and we understand that he was put off two
or three miles below town and has robbed
justice by making his escape.

gems from Kansas.

We give below few extracts from Kan.
sas pro-slavery papers. Comment upon them
is unnecessary:
In regard to the election, the Sguatter
Sovereign, edited by one Stringfellow, says:
"The election in this District passed of
very quietly. Free soiiers as a general thing
acted icise and kept apay form the polls"
The same delectable sheet has the follow.
ing:
"Free soilors are getting too numerous in
our neighborhood. They must be Smoked
out"
They have taken great offence at Gov.
Reeder on account OF his fearless, upright
course, aud threaten him with vengeace dire.
Says this same Squatter Sovereign:
"There is feeling rising in the Territory
against the Governor, that only his absence
will prevent general outbreak. Revolu.
ton is in every month. and, il the Presiden,
still persists in forcing Reeder upon us
God only knows what the consequence will
be-"
The Kansas Pioneer talks little palmer
as follows:
ave would not like to see the Governor
dangling in the air by the neck-he will soon
be dead, dead, dead, without that-merely
because we consider him fair specimen 0
Eastern chivalry, and very fair sample of a
Freesoiler; but If he is an Abolitionist al
heart and in action, and would abet in run
ming off darkies into Canada, it might be
well enough to place the moose around his
neck, by way OF experiment, il it were only
to hear him cry enough and see him make
pretty faces"
