Judge Burke of South Carolina, rode
on horseback from circuit to circuit, ac-
companied by servant, who was direct
ed to keep close behind him, while he
meditated as pleased himself by the way.
jogging along in this way, on one occa-
sion, the servant pressed too near to the
horse which he rode, which happened to
be an i'll natured brute, and the conse.
quence was that the horse kicked the ne
gro on the leg, who observing that it had
not Interrupted his masters study, sprahg
off his horse, and picking up stone,
threw it, at the beast, which it unluckily
missed, and took effect between the
Judges shoulders. The instant the ne
gro saw what had been done he fell in
the road with his hands clasped around
his leg, and crying out in apparent agony;
as soon as the Judge could straigten him
self, he turned around and said to the
PROSTATE negro, "Stephen child, what
ails your" Lor, massa," was the reply,
your horse just now kicked me on the
leg and almost broke it. Well child

between the shoulders, aud almost broke

An Extraordinary Case in the
~ Police Court.

A LADY ARR STED FOR OBsTRUCTING THE
SIDEwALKs-One of the most extraordi-
nary cases ever brough before legal tri-
bunal was witnessed in the Police Court
on Saturday. An officer complained Of q
young and remarkably handsome lady for
obstructing the sidewalks of Washington
street by too great display of crinoline.
AS it is understood that the lady is high
y connected, we will call her Mary Smith,
and not expose her true name.
Before the complaint was read, Judge
Russell inquired as to the whercabout. of
the prisoner. The officer replied that4he
lady was waiting in the entry; that hiha-
self and two others had endeavored to
squeeze her through the door-wagss but
they were to narrow, and he wished tha
Jssdso's' auvTce m gtro ssvs.
The Judge said that it was an extra.
ordinary case; the Constitution guaran-
teed to every one an open trial, and he
would hold a session in the entry, even
to please lady. Under the circum-
stances, he recommended that Miss Smith
be moved from the entry to the front
door, and he thought that she must
spread considerable not to be able to take
her place in the prisoners dock.
The experiment was tried and found to
answer admirably-the door being some
twenty feet wide, very little COMPRISING
was needed-and, with frown of indig.
nation upon her pretty brow, Miss Smith
found herself face to face with the Judge,
and listened to the complaint which was
read to her.
The officer testified that half dozen
times during the week he had been oblig-
ed to step from the sidewalk to enable
the defendant to pass. Once he came
very near being run over by q passing
carriage snd he inquired of the Judge
whether the city government would have
allowed a pension to his widow in case
he had been killed.
The Judge said he should reserve his
opinion until some time next week on
that point.
The court inquired if he had any furth-
er testimony to offer. g
The officer said that he had. He had
requested the prisoner two or three times
not to stop on the sidewalk, as the people
were unable to pass without going into
the street, which at times was inconyen-
lent to ladies wearing papersoled shoes,
owing to the outrageous manner in which
the thorougbfares were watered.
The Court, in summing up, said the evil
was one of great magnitude, and should
be checked by vigorous measures. There
was no statute under which two great a
display of crinoline came, but he should
take the responsibility of INJECTING a fine
{of SIS and costs, and he hoped that it
would be warning.
The fine was promptly paid. and Miss
Smith was discharged. Boston Herald.

From Kansas.

By the St. Louis papers yesterday we
have accounts of Gov. Walkers movements
since his arrival in Kansas, and copy of his
inaugural address. He visited Lawrence on
Tuesday Of last week, where he, Senator
Wilson, Gov. Robinson, and others addressed
the people. Walkers remarks were received
with much applause.
The inaugural we have had barely time to
glance at. 1t is quite long, He says all
constitutional territorial laws mnst be en-.
forced; urges all parties to participate in
the june election; believes the convention
will submit the constitution to a vote Of the
people, otherwise he thinks congress would
reject it; urges the necessity of removing
slavery from the halls of congress, and thinks
slavery viii ultimately be determined by
law Of climate, which is settling the cues
| ton i'm Kansas. In case slavery does not
! exist i'm Kansas, he has constitutional duties
to perform to its sister States, especially
Missouri. lie trusts the constitution will
contain clauses, forever securing the State
all constitutional guarantee by federal and
State authority. He says this questions will
be decided peacefully. He secs for Kansas
career of power, progress and prosperity,
unsurpassed in the history of the world. If
not so decided, fraud, violence and injustice
will reign, and history record the fact that
Kansas was the grave Of the American
Union.
