Radisaes. We are frequently taken to task
for the war we have waged upon this worse
than worthless vegetable. For fifteen years
we have not permitted one to grow in our gar
den, or to disgrace our table, and we have found
the advantage of pursuing this course, in the
improved health Of our family. Man is the on.
iy animal that will eat a radish, either raw or
cooked. The sagacious hog will Starse before
be will eat the poisonous trash. Crude rad
islIes are the most indigsstibls food that can
be taken into the human stomach, independent
Of tie aerid, poisonous substance they contain.
"But they do not hurt me" exelaim one; 81 can
eat them with impunity, and with a relish."-
But dear reader, do you not have the headache
or a bad breath? Have you no doctors bills to
payf A radish eaten in the Spring may cause
4 fever in the Fall. If any one doubts the
poisonous qualities Of radishes, let them cut
in thin slices three or four, and soak them in
water for twelve hours, and then taste the wa
Ter. Our word for il, they will never taste an
other radish. As a Waterman upon the hOri-
zontai tower, we cannot commend the culture
Of o vegetable that we know to be Injurious
Soil of the South.

THE WAY LAWS ARE MADE.


There are many verdent people, who
suppose that when an act 'entitled an
act etc. passes through a legislative body
with all the form of'Be it further enacted
etc. that then it becomes a law of the
Land. Not so. We take the Louisiana
Legislature as an example. 4 bill origina-
ties III the Senate; comes into the House
and passes; goes back to the Senate, and
comes back to the House, with a flourish
Of trnmpets from the Secretary of the
Senate, informing the House, that the
President Of the Senate, has signed an act
entitled an act etc. Here's where the
danger, to the bill occurs. After getting
so ear to bIissful Authoritarian, it may
yet be engulphed, or cast away on the
dan reefs, prepared by the enemy
to swamp it. Just here the bill il. liable @
be stolen. The legislative phrase is,
's%mothered,' How many bills are lost 90
ing to the President Of the Senate, the
Speaker of the House, and the Governor,
to get their autographs, the past history of
Legislation can alone tell. The most
dangerous place, however, for a bill to
lodge in IFS passage isl the hands of the
Enrolling and Translating Clerks. Some
of the gentlemen employed to place the
bills on large bill paper, in pot-hook form,
actually throw them under the table when
they find the documents TOO long and too
profound for their erudition. IF the indi-
vidual member has a local bill, in which he
is interested, he must never let it get out
Of his sight--he must follow it into the en-
rolling room; find some conscientious
Clerk, and treat him often, or give him a
six bEaded knife to enroll it. We will cite
an instance in point, which will convey
some information TO the public, and we
hope therefore our contemporaries will
copy it--giving 0 fcourse the proper Comet
credit.
A law was in force mp to the year 1854,
providing for the payment of expenses in
Criminal Prosecutions As the State Of
Louisiana is always a party on one part
in such suits It was deemed proper for the
State to pay, and that law stood in force
to that period. Some gentleman 10 the
legislature of 81, who no doubt stood
pledged on the retrenchment question, had
the law repealed. The consequence was,
that Clerks of Courts, and Sheriffs who
advanced money to witnesses for their
claims, were minus the amount during the
year 1855. The Legislature of SO re-
enacted the law. The bill originated in
the Senate--passed the House unanim-
ously, and in the bin providing for the
payment for the current expenses of this
year, the sum of S20,0 600 was appropriated
to pay such cllims. Strange to say, that
the bill was lost, and never could be found,
even in sweeping out the rubbish Of the
Capitol. The consequence is, that, al
though there is $4,000 appropriated, yet
witness claims in Criminal Prosecutions
cannot be paid. Clerks and Slleriffs, would
do well to make a note of this-[ Comet.

Fatal AfSray,

On the evening Of Sunday, the 18th inst, in
this county, near the residence of . Mr.. Nc
Fadin, two young men, brothers, WIN P. and
R. H. Cook, met with q couple Of Inishmen
named Patrick Galleger and Alexander Watn
son. Some misunderstanding existing be-
tween VIM. P. Cook and Gallager, the latter
struck the former, who resented the blow by
cutting at Gallager with n small pocket knife.
R. II. Cook ran up and attempted to part them,
when Alexander Watson, who it seems had no
interest in the matter, gathered q sheIalah, and
striking WIN. P. Cook on the head, broke bis
skull. which caused his death, and turning to
X: II. Cook gave him three blows, each of
which broke the skull.
The above is given as we have received it
and which is the accredited rumor on the
streets. Watson escaped and is still at large

A BAcKwooDs JUDGES CHARGE.

Murder, gentlemen, is where a man is
murderously killed. The killer, in such
a case, is a murderer. Now murder by
poison, is as much murder as murder with
a gun. Il is the numbering that constitutes
murder in the eyes of the law. You will
remember that murder is one thing, and
manslaughter another; therefore, if it is
not manslaughter, it must be murder
Selfmurder has nothing to do with this
case. One MAJ cannot commit felodese
on another; that is clearly my view. Gen
telmen, / think you have no difficulty
Murder, I say, is murder. You can make
up your minds. You know what murder
is, and ] need not tell you what it is not.
repeat, murder is murder. You can re-
tire upon it If you like.

A NEW v IN COURT.

The following very laughabIe circum-
stance is related by the Placerville Demo
Graf, LIST inst:
Amusing incidents occasionally occur
in court which are not made public for
want Of a reporter. One ofthis character
t~ranspired in the Court Of Sessions last
week in Coloma, while the court was
hearing an intricate and tedious case.---
The jury had been impanneled early in
the morning, and had become ~coAsidera-
bly, wearied. A theater was in full blast,
and several members of the jury desired TO
attend, but were prevented by the court.
At last Of them, growing impatient,
deliberately rose in bis seat, and in the
most earnest name arrested the atten-
ton of all present BY gravely and in good
faith saying, Judge, ! move that the
Court adjourn until tomorrow morning at
10 o'clock 7 His motion got second
instanter, much To the amusement Of the
bysttnders and the annoyance Of the
court, who certainly knew herself The
Judge blandly replied that the proceeding
was somewhat irregular, and that a mo-
ton 70 adjourn was out of order. The
refractory jnryman had a notion to APP
peal from the decision, but the sheriff
mildly informed him that III he appealed
ne might be arrested for contempt, which
had the effect Of instantly silencing the
mover and the seconder.
