Georgia COurt-RiCh Scene.

After well known Georgia Solicitor Gener-
al had administered the usual oath TO the grand
and petit jures and bailffs, he turned to the
presiding Judge and remarked:
Solicitor-May it please your Honor do not
remember any form of oath administered to the
lobby bailiffs, but by your permission think
can frame one that will be satisfactoryto the
Court.
Judge-Proceed. Mr.. Solicitor.
Solicitor-Put your hand on the book
Whercupon tall, lean, vinegar-faced son of
Anak, stepped up and promptly grabbed the
book.
Solicitor-You do solemnly swear, in the pre-.
sence of this Court and US lawyers, that you
will take your position in the lobby, and there
remain with your eyes skinned during the en-.
tire sessions of this Court. That you will not
suffer any one to speak above a low whisper,
and if any one shall dare do so in the presence
of your royal highness, vociferously exclam,
/" "silence in the lobby ~ and il order is not i'm.
mediately restored, you further swear that you
will by one ponderous blow of your fists, plant.
ed between the peppers of the offender, knock
him down. All this you will do to the best of
your skill and knowledge. so help your God.
The baiiff took the position assigned him,
and Immediately after the Court was organized,
ioh OIS6etsS WIN lookeu ds green as young
gourds, walked intn the room, wearing bro
gands No. IL, and his hands thrust deep into
his pockets, and inquired:
"HellO, fellows, where in thunder is jim

"Silence in the lobby - roared the enraged
official.
Brogans-You must be an ALFRED tarnal
fool, and ef ye st open that bread trap of you n
agin, your nanny won't know ye.
Whereupon Jim Jarvis, the bailiff, let fly the
dogs o. war and greeny fell fiat on his back,
with his pedestals at an angle of forty degrees
in the air. He grabbed greeny by ths seat OF
his trcwsers, and dragged him wrong end

Judge, and said:

The Tomb of David Hume.

David Hume, who produced in his time so
much skeptcsm as to the evidences of Christi
anlty, does not seem to have convinced his own
relatives A correspondent of the Presbyterian
says:
BY the way, speaking of Edinburgh, while
there acted as guide to a brother minister from
America, on visit to the tomb of the InfideI
Hume. 1t is circular stone building over its
lron-grated door there is inscribed his name.
with the dates OF his birth and death. No doubt.
IKE Voitalre, he hattered himself that he had
given the death-blow to Christianity. But be-
hold, there on the wall Of his tomb, those who
were flesh of his flesh and bone of his bone.
bear testimony to the iallacy of his expectation.
On ,ts outside, and immediately above the name
OF Hume himself, there is tablet containing
an inscription, by David Hume, to his wife
Jane Alder, dated 1917, closing with these
words, Behold, come quickly. Thanks be 10
God, who giVeth us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ Also. in the interior, there
Is another tablet, sacred to the memory of Da-
via Hume, one OF the Bar0ns of ExcheGuer. and
his two sons, dated in l848; the whole sur
mounted by these encouraging words, Il am

A Fathers Wrath,

A Paris correspondent of the N. Y. Express
says: In my recent remarks on the subject of
French marriages, | neglected to mention the
only means by which stubborn children may,
after all, legally take unto themselves hus-
band or wife, despite the nterdic.on of pa
rents or guardians. This means is SO repug-
nant to considerations of flial respect, that it
is never employed, except in desperate cases
That Is, when young people are so much in love
that they lose sight of all else. When matters
reach this point, the obstinate papa may be
summoned judicially, to state his reasons for
opposing the match, and. if they are not of the
strongest kind, after three such processes have
been served and the banns three times pub
lished, the marriage can take place. An in
stance has just occurred, as if purposely to give
one an illustration.
The son of retired builder wished to wed a
young and pretty seamstress. The youth asked
the permission and paternal blessing of the re-
tired builder. The retired builder grew very
red IN the face, and, when his rage permitted
him to speak, said he'd be - well, he said
"NO." The son waited a year, and asked
again. The retired builder grew more apo.
plectlc looking than before, and said he'd be -
well, he said mo" So, too, at the end of
second and third year. The exemplary pa
tIence OF the son began TO waver. Indeed, ii
broke down, altogether. The choleric retired
builder was summoned, and, not being able TO
give good reason for refusing his consent to
the marriage. 1t took place at the house of the |
BRIDES father, an honest tailor. Quite a CON-
pany assembled at the bridal banquet Moth
ing but the presence of the retired builder was
wanting, TO make the thing complete. In the |
midst of the dessert, pound-cake and congratu
lations, he came-did the retired builder The |
retired builder had got tipsy, for the occasion,
and came down upon the party (to employ !
new and beautiful metaphOr) like thousand of
brick. Remember, bricks had once been in his |
line, and the thing was quite natural. The in
dlgnant retired builder fell upon his degenerate
fell upon him-and down went
the degenerate son, under the table. The re-
tired builder then rose, with the evident design
OF falling on the bride, and the rest of the com
pany, each individual in turn but, when the
degenerate son went down. the prudent COM
pany (to use another new and beautiful meta.
phoD smelt rat, and went out. The brides
father, true to the instincts of his profession,
seized lapboard and rushed after the police
When the police arrived and penetrated into
the hall of the wassail, the degenerate son was
still under the table, and the retired builder |
was overwhelming him with shattered crockery |
and paternal imprecations. The result Of all |
OF which was, the degenerate son was no less
fast married. and the retired builder was oblig.
ed to pay for the broken deli.

let's himself off in the following style:

The editor of the Wedowee (Ala.) Mercur,
lets himself off in the following style:
There's not the least shadow of doubt about
the matter-ours is emphatically, unde niab<S
positively, comparatively and superlatvely, a
great and glorious country. The annals of time
furnish nothing to compare with it: Greece
wasn't circumstance; Rome was nowhar; -
Venice couldn't hold us candle, while all mod
ern nations sink into insigniicance before our
country. 1t has longer rivers, and more of
them, and muddier and deeper, and they run
faster and go farther, and make more noise, and
rise higher, fall lower, and do more damage
than any body else's rivers. 1t has more lakes,
and they are bigger and deepsr, and clearer
than those of any other nation. 1t has more
cataracts, and they fall further and faster, aud
harder than all other cataracts. 1t has more
mountains and higher ones, and more snow on
EN-, and harder to get up, and easier to fall
down than all other mountains. Ii has more
gold, and 1t is heavier and brighter, and worth
more than The gold of other countries. Our
rall-cars are bigger and run faster, and pitch
of the track oftener, and kill more people thsn
all other rail cars Our steamboats, are longer.
and carry loads and d" bile their buster ofe ner,
and the captains swear harder than those of any
other country. Our men are bigger, and long
er, and higher, and thicker, and can fight hard
er and faster, and drink more whiskey, chew
more tobacco, spit more and further, kick up
their heels higher, and do anything else more
and better, aud oflener than men In all other
countries. Our ladies' are prettier, dress finer,
spend more money, break moreA hearts, wear
bigger hoops and shorter dresses, and kick up
the mischief generally to greater extent than
all other ladies'. Our politicians can spout
louder, lie harder, make gas faster, dodge quick
er, turn oftener, make more noise and do less
wo:k than any body else's politicians Our
niggers are backer, larf more, have thicker
skulls, and smell louder, and need thrashing
oftener than other niggers. Our children squall
louder, grow faster, get too big for their trou-
sers quicker than all other children.
1t is great country! 1t is the corner stone
of nations; it is top of the pile, the head man
of the heap, the last button on the coat. the
crowning jewel in the diadem, the capital of
the column, the last link in the chain, the OBJ
served Of all Observers Ii will eat up all other
nations faster than Pharoah's lean kline eat up
the fat ones. When all other nations are mum.
bered among the things that were, it will be
just rejoicing in its strength. 1t willskick all
other nations out of existence-it will lick them
all up as the COW lcketh salt. 1t has now 33
States, and " more a comin.'" 1t covers more
territory than all other nations. And finally,
it has louder thunder, faster lightning, bigger
hail, colder ice, than can be found in any part
of the habitabIe globe. Hurrah for this prodi-
gious constellation of free States Hang man
that won't praise his own country

PLANTING POTAToEs IN THE FALL.-Mr. E.
o. Bundy, of Oxford, Chenango county, N. Y,
writes to the Genesee Farmer that he plants
his potatoes in the Fall, and obtains larger
crops, and larger, earlier and better favored po.
tatoes than when planted in the spring. His
method of planting is as follows:
"Select piece of dry ground, prepare it as
for Spring planting, any time in the Fall when
the ground is in grood order, taking care to
plant the potatoes little deeper than in the
Spring planting. Throw a shovel full of coarse
manure upon, or, still better, into each hill :;
or, better still, cover the surface OF the ground
with a coat of straw, where mice are not too
plenty. The straw helps to protect; the pota-
toes scarcely need hoeing or blowing"
Mr.. B. Says he has raised potatoes in this
way for several years past, and they are inva-
riably free from the rot, and at least two weeks
earlier and two or three sizes larger than in
Spring planting.
