ly, and his clothes?
Thoroughly replied the goaler
his cloak is blue, his vest is blue, his
shirt is blue, his pantaloons are blue,
his stockings are blue, his shoes are
blue, the buckles are blue, and his skin,
even, is blue,
Thoroughly puzzled, the learned
magnates once more turned to each
other for another conference.
What's that you've just found in his
vest pocket /? said the would-bc keen
eyed judge.
A small blue morocco case, your

All arose from their seats, and un-
dignifedly crowded about the officer.

Smash it,
The culprit touched spring, and
out flew pair of blue spectacles.
Defend us! J! whispered the clerk,
'ts the devil 'Twere best to rid us
of him.
Gentlemen take yonr places. The
Judge is about to address you,' bawled
one of the officers.
Gentlemen of the jury, I would not
detain you with long speech, if my
pipe were allowed but since the wor-
thy Bench, by their unanimous vote,
have prohibited all smoking, l do not
see how we shall become capable of ar
irving at the truth of this matter. IF
the man before you is the Satan of old,
and we were all allowed to take our
pipes, we should soon discover his true
characteristics, for his atmosphere, as
you all know, is smoke. Now, not
being allowed this privilege, we see
him disguised in an atmosphere not
his own, and therefore he is, you see,
another man than what he really is !;
and being another man thau that he
appears to be before US, which is prov
ed, on oath, by our worthy parish
schoolmaster and sexton, we are una
BILE to identify any part of him as being
the culprit who stole this good mans
money and frightened him out OF his
nine senses. The law is clearly laid
down, that we should give every man
his due. Now, althoug it were proved
that this man is the devil, the law is
plain, that we should give the devil
his due > and thus [ dismiss the case
The prisoner is discharged, with this
admonltion-never to appear among us
again. If he dare do so. we assure
him we will play the very dickens with
him.
The records of this droll affair state
that this was nothing but the exploit of
a poor conjuror, whose stale tricks
were insufficient to procure him live
lihood. The change of attire from red
to blue was effected by simply turning
them inside out, each garment being
IA double one His legs, which the af-
frighted officers of the law omitted at
first 10 examine, were nothing more
than mere elongations of wood, serv-
ing the purpose of stills, the use of
which the conjuror knew to be of great
assistance in his various disgaises. His
wonderful steed, that SO affrighted the
man of hay, was supplied with the gift
of speech by his art of ventriloquism

CALIFoRSIA QUIcKsILvER MINE.-Tbe Uni
ted States District Court in Northern Califor-
MIA has given decision in favor of Robert ]
Walker, ex-secretary of the Treasury, Gem
modore Stockton and others, awarding to them
the possession Of the great Almaden 9uicksil
yer mine at Santa Clara The exports of this
valuable metal from California are all from
this mine. The quantity exported in 1854
was ,3l6 634 pounds, value S65S, BIZ and in
1855, l, 95l, 242 pounds, value S995, 62I. The
exports are principally to Mexico, Chilli and
Peru, where the metal is wanted to work the
silver mines, many of which had stopped for
want Of quicksilver previous to our possession
Of California. The remaining exports were
to England and Australia
