SSEEzrNG IN CouRr. Some time ago,
during a trial al Cincinnati, some person or
persons, no, having due sense OF the aw-
ful majesty oflhe law or Of The dignity Of

snuff, Cayenne pepper, babery bark, and,
mos, probably, slight sprinkIing Of cowage

when the audience was very large, and Of
that mixed description that generally con.
grega,e about the purlieus Of Court Of
Justice. The insinua,ing dust soon began
TO take effect. n concert Of sneezing and
coughing, fint among the outsiders, made
il impossible 10 understand one word from
either Judge, lawyers, witness or prisoner.
"Silence !" shouted the marshal.
"S-an.ci-chi.chee.lence," sneezed the
deputy.
BY this time the epidemic had extended
10 within the bar, and there was as much
coughing and sneezing as ever was heard in
the House Of Representatives during prosy
speech Of an unpopular orator.
Open The ugh.win.chee-chee. .chee.dow /;
Oh, Lord exclaimed the prosecuting allor-
ney.

The Judge, who by this time had couehed
and sneezed until his face was as red as The
comb Of turkey cock, was struck by The
idea, and posse Of officers. being called
from below, cleared the room Of the un.
happy multitude, who, upon their esress
into the street, gave such concerted. dia.
bolical sneeze. that couple Of horses that
were iilched outside became scaied, and,
breaking their brides, scampered frantic
ally away.
