was lately by celebrated colored caterer
who practices his useful profession in one of

Governor S., Of South Carolina was
splendid lawyer, and could talk a jury out
Of their seven senses. He was especially
noted for his success in criminal cases, al
most always clearing his client. He was
once counsel for man accused of horse
stealing. He made long, eloquent and
touching speech. The jury retired, but re-
turned in few moments, and proclaimed
the man not guilty An old acquaintance
stepped up to the prisoner and said: "Jem,
the danger is passed; and now, honor bright,
didn'. you steal that horse?' TO which Jem
replied, "Well, Tom, I've all along thought
| took that horse, but since I've heard the

An anecdo,e is told of physician who

Now, this seems to be about the conclusion
arrived at by the Seminary" quack
doctors. If they can change the " Semi.

they conclude surely that no professional
| reputation can be lost, whether the pa
tient live or die. And what is most as

their experimental treatment. l acknowl-
