Z aIifctnia Justice.

The following occurred in California,
i'll its palmy days, when aIcades, elect.
ed by the miners of the district, dis
pensed equal and exact Justice to all.
An individual by the name of Green
had borrowed some forty dollars of an
other of the soubriquet of Shortze.
Now ShortZc could not obtain the
money, though Green had struck a
lead, and was known to have dust
Green was large, powerful man, but
no grit, and Shortze offered to fight
him tor the money, but Green backed
water.
Well, the claim was brought before
the alcade, on cold, rainy, dismal
evening, and as there was considera-
BILE talk about it, the boys gathered in
to sec the flm-rather molly appear
ing crowd, with long boards and hair.
patched pants, rimless hats, toeless
boots, &c. The Hon. Judge was un-
well, but sat up in his bunk, with a
red bandana tied round his head. The
case was clearly proven. The al cade
decided that Green must pay, and if
lie would not. a committee of three
were to search him or his cabin and
get the money, and also the court
costs. Upon this Shortze deliberately
rose and said, Your Honor, will for
give him the debt, and pay the costs
besides, if he will only give me a fight,
so that | can whale him"
Green, when lie heard this, squared
himself, thinking that the courtroom
would be sacred but Shortze pitched
in at once, and clinchcd. Several, my
self included, sprang in to separate
them, when, in deep tones and waving
the bandana, the Judge exclaimed,
Gentlemen, gentlemen, stand back
If the parties wish to effect com.
promise, don't interfere!' And We
stood back, saw Green whipped in a
few seconds, and after that obliged to
pay the funds.
The above was California justice, rs
true as the Gospel of st. John.

D o0ging a . up.

Some know how to do it, and can
scent a dun at any distance, and can
dodge him effectively. 1t is a knack
acquired by long experience. If the
dun, however, by his experience be-
comes expert, the dunned stands a
slim chance of escape. The dun be-
comes equally sensitive in detecting
the debtor, and often are practiscd, be
tween the two man9uvres, that would
pale the reputation of even Napoleon
himself.
We heard story the other day of old
Dr. g., of Portsmouth, which, though,
not having any very great rcle.
vancy to the preceding paragraph, is
nevertheless TO the point, as regards
amateur dunning. For there is wide
difference between the amateur and
the professional.
DIR. q. was a man of great integrity
and worth, and his business habits were
OH the square-cxacting everything
that was his own. and paying every
man his due. He held a note against
gentleman of Hampton, for some
considerable amount, and wherever he
met him the Doctor was ready, note
in hand, for the payment of an install
mcnt. 1t became at last an agonising
dread with the debtor about meeting
the Doctor, particularly at the time
when troubled with disease known in
financial parlance as "shorts." But
whenever he met him the Doctor s
dun would be anticipated by his debt
or's movement for his pocket book,
and frequent payments were made
without seeing the note at all, or inquir-
ing as to the chances of its eventual
aymcnt. He knew that the Doctor
was honest, and that it would be all
right, and several payments were thus
blindly made.
A great derth of funds made him
more shy of meeting the Doctor, and
as he passed through the town, his eyes
wandered in all directions 70 catch
glimpse of his dread, and avoid him il
possible. He succeeded admirably for
while, and out,generaled the old man
several times |; but fate does not always
favor the brave, and the Doctor from
a distant position saw lis victim tic
his horse to post and enter store.
He made all the haste hc could, and
entered the store just as his debtor
lodged behind rice sack.
"Didn't / see Mr.. - como in
here" asked the Doctor.
