with very curious scenes. Judge Douglas some
years ago having accepted the hospitality of a
large family occupying single room was
obliged to undress and " hop into bed" in the
presence OF young lady. This young lady the
Judge describes as Venus in linsey-woolsey-
plump as pigeon, and smooth as a persmmOn.

speaking" and the idea Of going to bed before
the young lady--a modest sensible young girl
who, from habit, thought nothing of the circum-
stance-turned his head topsy turvy. The idea
of pulling off his boots before her was death, and

At length the tremendous crisis approached -
The Judge had partially undressed, intrenched
behind chair which offered no more protection
from the enemy" than the rounds Of ladder
Then he had dead open space Of ten feet be-
tween the chair and the bcd--a sort of Bridge of
Lodi passage as he describes it, which he was
forced to make, exposed TO a cruel, raking fire
fore and aft. The Judge proceeds:
