DEAD TO THE LAw.--Some years ago man
without family or relatives lived in q county
in Arkansas, and was possessed of an estate
worth $4,000. He went to New Orleans, and
was absent four years without being heard from.
The Probate Judge granted administration on
his estate--wound it up and discharged the adj
ministrator. The man returned-had been to
Mexico-when in open court the following dla-
logue took place:
Dead Man.--If your honor please | want my
effects returned to me, as you see | am not dead
Court know-that is o mdn--tbat you are
alive and in court, but, as COURT | know you
are Dead for the records ofthis court say so, and
against their verify there can be no averment-
so says Lord Coke, and good many other books
| never read.
Dead Man.-But l want my property, and its
no matter to ne whether yourrecords lie or not.
| am alive and have not transferred my prop
erty, and to deprive me Of it without my con-
sent is against the law
C6aSt-lf you intimate that the records of this
court lie, this court will send you to Jail
Dead Adn-Send a dead man to Jail
C6vt-Mr. Sheriff, take this apparition out.
SherifL"Be thou ghost, or goblin dam'd, III
speak to theeP'-let's go and take something to
drink.
The Judge stuck to it, that so far as his court
was concerned, he was dead, and ID if he
shouldn't stay dead land the poor fellow went
into chancery and spent all he made in Mexico
and all the rest.

F,rSSY INcIDENT-THE JUDGE AND THE PRISON
rR REyERsEp.-It is related among the prelimi-
nary incidents to the third trial of Baker Pooles
murderer, at Newburgh, that Judge Peabody,
was mistaken for the criminal, elected various
comments under that imputed character from
the by-standers
AtlO1 o'clock Judge Peabody, the counsel,
Sheriff and prisoner embarked on the ferry-boat
and in few minutes reached the landing at
Newburg. Here very large crowd of citizens
and others were awaiting the arrival of the
party. Sheriff Willett, having delivered Baker
over into the custody of a deputy, walked to
the court house, short distance, in COMPANY
with Judge Peabody. Mr.. Willett was recog-
nized by some of the citizens as the New York
Sheriff. and at once all eyes were turned upon
his companion; and Judge Peabody, having a
demure look and being naturally of pale COM
plexion. which could be plausibly accounted
for as the result of long imprisonment, the
identity of the prisoner seemed beyond doubt
and the delusion was the cause of many conf
dent, laundering opinions. "What hang-dog
look he has got" said one "Just such look
ing man as / expected to see, )" remarked Sec
ond. "His face is enough to satisfy me-" ejac-
ulated third "But he's very gentlemanly
appearing man, expected to see regular loaf
err said fourth; but he was interrupted by Q
fifth, who insisted that he was regular speci.
men of 'short boy" which announcement
created some amusement, as the Judge stands
six feet in his stockings. Such was the nature
of the complimentary remarks made in relation
to Judge Peabody, while Baker, fat and seem
ingly enjoying himself, was a short distance off
with the sherif's deputy, almost unnoticed.

prospecting Charles and as q matter of
course refused his company. This new
turn of affairs soon became known
throughout the village and was the ex-
elusive topic of ofvilage gossip for whole
week. Many litter aud joke was in
dulged in at the expense of Newall. But
he was not inclined to joke nor laugh
he loved Miss Loveland and the certain
ty that she no longer loved him came
over his soul like fall of light shutting
out hope from every source.
1t had an effect upon Newall and he
really said aud did many foolish things
for which people should have made al;
lowance. But on the contrary the old
er ones spoke of them ina half laugh,
with very peculiar twinkle of the eye,
whilst the young folks openly made
sport of him, until from very morti6ca-
tion he was obliged to leave the village.
The excitement occasioned by the af-
fair between Charles Newall aud Miss
Loveland had died away and the village
had subsided into its usual quiet when
it began to be apparent that George
Maxwell and Lucy Cary entertained
feelings for each other near akin to, if
not love itself, at all events it soon be-
came that, and these two were bctreth-
ed.
Lucy's mild blue eyes bespoke her
gentle, loving eonfdng Maxwell's clear
thoughtful countenance revealed intel
ldct and "A longing for higher devclope-
ment. He soon outgrew his b!uc-eyed
Lucy. She did not comprehend him
and thera was no reciprocity of sympa-
I,hy, consequently love on the part Of
Maxwell grew less and less until he was
obliged TO tell her of the lack of congen-
iality between them. He goes elsewhere
to seek companionship. Lucy's heart is
broken.
How now is the public feeling With
Maxwell : No! He is called william
and every other hard name and tho
broken hearted sought healing by exact.
ing gold.
Now would not have the sympathy
for Lucy diminished one iota, but I b
would not have it vent vindictlveness on
Maxwell. Was he not right in doing as
he did : Should he be asked to marry
a woman he no longer loves or ought sho
to ask it 1t was unfortunate that they
could not make each other happy, but
the necessity of the case should be yield

: The story Of your marriage with r.

At this moment the door opened, and
the beggar, whom Ferris had twice re-
lieved, entered, and stepped up to Ferris
and solicited charity. Aane recoiled at
first at the detected and poverty stricken
looks of the intruder while Ferris asked
in astonishment how he had gained en-
trance into the house. In moment the
figure rose to "A statelJ height and casting

The astonishment of the lovers can

Low-NEcKED Dresses. In the ear
ly days of Pennsylvania there was a law
which stated as follows -
"That If any white female of ten years
or upward, should appear in any public
street, lane, highway, church, court
house, tavern, ballroom, theatre, or any
other place of public resort, with naked
shoulders, (i. e. low necked dresses) be-
ing able to purchase necessary clothing,
shall pay fine not les, than one,or moro
than two hundred dollars. The closing
paragraph of the law, however, permit
ted women of questionable character to
bare their shoulder as badge of dis.
tinction between the chaste and UNI
chaste.'

For the Westerly Echo
A QUANDARY.

As one travels over the southeastern
part of this state, he may come upon a
small village, which for present purposes
| will call Caracas. 1t is not remarka-
sle either for its scenery or Inhabitants,
therefore | shall pass over them with a
very brief description.
Suffice it to say, that Charles Newall
was resident of this village few years
since-unassuming, industrious, frugal,
cheerful and pleasant in his ways and al
together quite companionable young
man. He possessed no trate or charac.
ter striking or peculiar but was esteem
ed more for his passive goodness thar
ANYTHING else. 1t was a pleasant sigh
on sunny morning, to see bin to 6
whistling to his employment, his franz
oven countenance without mark o
care, expression OF the honesty and pur.
ity Of his heart.
Maria Loveland was a young lady
whose father is merchant of the same
place. She was called good looking,
and I suppose she was, yet by no means
the belle of the village. She had re.
ceived common education, which haC
developed in her mostly the substantial
and practical although she did not lacl
grace and case Of manners. Taken all
in all she was a pleasant and interesting
girl.
Charles and she had frequently been
thrown into each Others society, and
came soon to entertain partiality one for
the other. This very naturally grew
stronger and stronger until it ripens fully
into love and in due process Of time the
two were afliauced They had bott
thought and talked some about marriage
but the day Of its consumation was a.
some indefinite period in the future.
For some cause, whether sufficient o,
not, Miss Leveland changed her minc

The scheme of bombardDg China into the family
of nations, go highly approved BY several OF our
cotempOrares, appears to be open to some e1ceP'
ton. The difficulty Of free intercourse with China
does not grow so much out of the policy of the
Government as out Of the spirit Of the people; or,
rather, the policy Of the Government in this matter
exactly represents the spirit Of the people. 1t
may be possible by force aud arms, the burning OF
some Chinese cities, and The murder Of some thou
sands of the people, to obtain from the Govern
ment ary kind of treaty that may be deman led;
but will treaty change the spirit Of the nation
One of the objections taken BY the Chinese Gov
eminent to the free admission Of foreigners Is, that
foreigners so admitted would be liable at any time
to fall victims to the popular an'ipathy thus con-
tinually furnishing occasion for new complaints,
lew demands for redress, and new reprissls. What
would be gained by having Minister resident at
Pekip, CT free admission Of foreigners TO Canton,
if the Chinese continued to hate US as badly as
eyerl five are 70 judge by the results hitherto
of the English attempts to force an interchange OF
hospitslaes with China, il will cost vast deal OF
blood and money-nOthing less, in fact than the
conquest and armed occupation OF the empire-to
accomplish the object in view.
