SPICED VINEGAR.

In the winter of AT while residing in New
Orleans, youth who stood about FIVE feet
eleven and three quarters in his stockings, who
hailed from somewhere up the Wabash, was
invited by a friend to dine at the same house
where was boarding. This was the Hoosier's
first trip away from home, as he told his friend,
who was in the produce business, and had pur-
chased his cargo of corn. AS they took their
seat at the table the youth told. his friend that
he would show him all the sights Of the town
and as he wanted to let the folks at home know
all about it.
The servant brought him plate of soup, and
observing gentleman opposite put considerable
catsuD in his dish, our Hoosier pointed to n bot
tie of peppersaucc and asked whatit was.
"Spiced vinegar" was the reply.
"Wal, s'pose you 'blige feller by handing it
along"
"Certainly," was the answer.
The Hooser took the bottle and commenced
dousing it into his soup, but as the sauce did
not flow very freely. he took out The cork ut the
same time observing to hisfriend-
"kinder close folks yer stoppin with, TO put
ssuch plaguy little hole in that cork, to prevent
feller takin' much Of that stuff. spose il
comes high, don't it!"
During the time he had poured nearly wine
glass full into his soup, and taking his spoon lie
dipped it full, togeihcr with several peppers, and
put it into his mouth. The next instant lie
spurted the contents Of his spoon across into a
French genteman's BOSOM and bawled--
"Waler! water! snakes and wild cats, give
:, me some water! i'm Nil afre!"
@By, gar, suir," exclaimed the Frenchman in
rage, jumping up from the table, "you have
spoiled my shirt, sar. Spoiled everything, sair
by gar, i snail see about this sair.'
In the meantime the Hoosier had seized q
pitcher containing water and had taken ire.
.lmendous draught Setting the pitcher down, he
eyed tbe Frenchman for moment, and then
yelled
bod blast your old shirt rSposs ] was goin
10 burn my inards out for you or your old shirt
You cuss! Come down to the boat and III give
you one Of mine" .tS
+ 1t was with difficulty that the Hoosier's FRIEND
could allsy the Frerrbman's rage, and set mat
tiers straight again. But ever after @spiced vine
gar" was by.word and sufficient to set III,
x,swbole table in a roar.
Right here we would take occasion to say
that that Grocery man LEGG, at the Corner, ha
sOno Of the best "spiced yinegar," that eve
was brought in these parts.-ED. ADV.

notwithstanding the disastrous spring and sum.

tanned from later indications that the crop would

INoPPoRTUNE QUOTING OF BRITISH AUTHoR1-
TIEs.-British authorities in our courts are con-
sidered standard authorities for reference on
doubtful points of law. The late Judge Dan.
ies, of Virginia, used 10 tell US how, with great
glee, when young man, on the circuit, he saved
a clients life, solely because the opposite coun-
sci quoted from British authorities. 1t occurred
during the last war, when the English squadron,
under Admiral Cock barn, were ascending the
Potomac river, burning and plundering the vii
lagos along its banks; negro man was ar
raigned for the murder of one of his own color !;
the offence. was clearly proved and the only
chance for his escape was slight informality in
the indictment The prosecuting attorney, in
reply to Mr.. Daniels defence of his client, quo.
ted from British authorities, showing clearly that
the ground taken by the latter was untcnable.
While he was quoting and speaking, at inter-
vals, bang bang went the cannon from the
British squadron. Daniels rose to answer, aud
with great tact seized hold of the strong point
of his opponents cause turning it completely
over against him.
"Gentlenen," said he to the bench, " the pros.
ecuting attorney quotes on this occasion from
British authorities British authorities, gentle
men! Can there be any one in this court room
except himself 80 dead TO feelings of patriotism
us at such a moment to listen 10 British authori-
ties when British cannon are shaking the very
walls of this courthouse TO their foundation
pause for reply"
Up jumped one of the justices, highly excited
at this appeal, and thus addressed The prosecu'
ting attorney: "Look here, Mr.. A---,you
had better strike bee line from this courthouse
with your British authorities, or I'll commit
you! Prisoner, you can go! Crier adjourn
| the court! British authorities be id"
The prosecuting attorney was struck all in 9
heap at these extra judicial proceedings, and
resigned his Office the very next day.

Sister Josey's got baby,
(Sheis but child herself)
And the baby is bright eyed,
Laughing, crying little elf.
Well l mind the April morning
II was scarcely FIVE years old
Addie came with smile of g!adness,
And q wondrous tale she told:
How tiny, pretty creature,
To our mothers arms was given,
How white-winged angel brought it
From its happy home in Heaven.
Mother called our baby Josey,
And she was our pet and pride;
No one thought Of scolding Josey,
When she pouted, ,frowned or cried.
Only think how years crowd round us,
Bringing trouble, bringing change
Now that baby's got baby
Bless me, amt it very stranger
Such precious, winning darling,
Eyes of softest, dark grey,
Cheeks where blessed cunning dimples
Play hnpeep the liyelong day.
You should hear him laughing gaily,
Cooing like little dove,
II you were the crossest fellow,
Joscy's baby you would love.
