A JOKE ON A JUDGE.

At the January term of the Court of Alp. peals the four regular judges and three of the Supreme Court justices opened the term at the appointed time, and proceeded to business, the justice for the -- district not having arriv- ed. A case was called, and the counsel for the appellant commenced opening it. The gentleman is we'll known in the state, and at a former election received the vote of one of the great political parties for judgeship iu the Court of Appeals. He is good lawyer, with dry, sound mind and considerable hu. nor. While he was in the midst of his case, the absent judge of the Supreme Court rush. ed into the room, somewhat excited by rapid walk up State street, the hill being much high- CT and sleeper than he was accustomed to climb at home.
 He hastily took the vacant seat on one end of tie bench, seized the papers and commen- Tced passing them before his face, within 6 short distance of his nose. The lawyer who was opening the case had never seen this judge, and did not know his peculiarities-- Presently the justices had run through the case, and got to a point considerably in advance of the lawyers narrative of facts. During the whole course of reading the case, this judge had kept up fire of questions as to facts, and as his mind was all the time up. on some point different from the part which the lawyer was relating, the questions inter- rupted the history and evidently annoyed the lawyer. -.-.-
 Presently the judge said MT. H., it seems that the assignee transferred litter of pigs in this interest" - ..s...
 "Yes, your Honor," said the lawyer, and resumed his statement.
 The Judge hurried on, and presently made another discovery. He interrupted with an- other question
 {" see in this instrument you speak of particular pig, as litman pig What do you mean by litman pig ?"
 The lawyer, whose patience had become ex- hausted, threw down his papers and replied:
 eff your Honor does not know what lit- man pig is, l will say that it is the last pig introduced into the ltter and is always the noisiest and silliest pig in the litter.

" Timber jacks" bottles, Xes The maidens tuck down their chins very low, or raise them exceedingly high. Some smile, some grin, some glggle, some pout, some sheer. The ladies fa- ces are brought against those of the men, or in- to their bosoms, breast against breast, nose a. gainst nose, toes against toes.
 Now they go it again, making sound like Georgy, porsy, derey, percy, ridley, coachey, poachey. This dance is not much, but the ex- tras are glorious. If men were women there would be no such dancing. But they are only men and the thing goes on by woman's love of it. A secular writer says: "There is no es- tablished standard of propriety about this mat ter. If were lady might object to these dances, but being man do not. We cer- tainly ought to be satisfied, if they are.'

 Full fedged in golden light,
 matching out the little stars,
 The chickens of the night
 But out of all that brilliant brood,
 Produced by Luna pale, There was but one poor little chick
 That could produce tail. This might very appropriately come under the head of comet literature"

 A correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune, wri- ting from Fairfield, Conn.,, under date of March 21st says:
 "A disgraceful scene was witnessed on the railroad train which left New Haven at 10 on Saturday afternoon. Some sixty Irishmen were returning to Norwalk from Bridgeport, where they had been Americanized under the auspices of Messrs Winslow and Bishop, Shor- if Van Zandt and Superintendent Hoyt. Stimulated by new love for the party in gene- ral and the candidates in particular, and infn- riated by rum, they raved and cursed and fought like madmen, smashed the car windows, frightened. the ladies' aud exhibited travel ling panorama of Tammany Hall row. The Sheriff, who is one of lem" was unable or unwilling to restrain them; the employees of the road were powerless, or. perhaps forbidden to interfere and 50 pandemonhm was let loose upon the unhappy passengers; Some of the miscreants were taken from the cars at Norwalk half naked and covered with blood
 "Thus voters are manufactured for, the coming election It is commonly reported that Superintendent Hoyt is freely abusing his ofi- cial position in the giving of free passes, or distributing tickets to Democratic voters. The managers of the New Haven Railroad will do well to inquire into this matter.o

 The Hartford Times publishes letter from Pleasant Valley, in the town of Barkham- stead-just under the shadow of the Light Honse-which letter tells the following story of clergyman who was supplying the pulpit of the Baptist Church there, last Sunday:
 After announcing his text, he proceeded with his sermon, but had not gone far when he said to the astonished audience
 "I have been instructed not to preach any thing of Abotionism or Republcanism-but, I must serve my Master and I-"
 At this juncture Deacon Doolittle rose and said--
 "Hold on. It's my impression that you have said enough" (Turning to the audi ence )-" Meeting is out P
 The audience rose simultaneously, and taking their hats, went out. The minister sat down. Deacon Doolittle went to the pulpit and said to him
 eff you want to preach politics, have no objection, and my house is at your service.- But this church is not the proper place, and it cannot be permitted. If you desire to give a political sermon or speech, you can do so at my house, or any other place, and will war rant good audience, and you shall have fair play and not be hurt. But you must not at tempt it in this church.

KING GEORGE ". IN IRELAND.

A review of Jessie's Diary of the Reign of George w., in the Loudon Morning News, describes the Kings visit to Ireland thus
 ''The death of the Queen, and the suen mood into which the people of Eugand fell, as the result of that catastrophe, drove the King to Ireland, to derive from the wid fran tic hulrahs of Paddy some consolation for the illsuppressed and dangerous mutterings of John Bull. It was famous stroke of policy, that Irish visit, and proved very advantageous for all parties concerned. A real live King, one who looked like King, who was ready to shake hands with anybody, who took kindly to whskey, and who constantly wore an immense shamrock in his button-hole, soon became all most an object of worship with the susceptible West Britons It was the little fishing vi- lage of Howth which had the honor of well coming the first English King who had visited Ireland since the days of the Plantagenet. The gigantic fishermen, gaunt and ragged, crowded around the royal visitor as he stepped ashore, and one tremendous fellow was suc- cessful in seizing the delicate jewelled hand of his astonished sovereign The latter stared, shrunk back, and winced, but soon recollect- ing himself, smiled graciousy, and, as the French say, accepted the situation The fisherman having given the royal hand tre- mendous shake, held up his own immense gr:- my paw in the air, and swore with tremen- dous energy that the hand which had been shaken by the King should never be touched by soap or water to his dying day. The King was delighted, and seemed highly to appreci- ate the extent of sacrifice which his Irish sub- ject was willing to make to the sentiment of loyalty Then the people shouted, 'Hurrah for Howth and your Majesty The King laughed heartily at this new order of prece- dency and just as the carriage was driving off, one sharp fellow, more collected than the rest, bawled out, And sure your Majesty won't forget the Window Tax We have in the first volume an amusing description of the way in which the royal time was spent during the passage across the Channel:
 "' The passage to Dublin was occupied in eating goose pie and drinking whiskey, in which his Majesty partook most abundantly, singing many joyous songs, and being in a state, or his arrival, to double in sight even the num- bers of his gracious subjects assembled on the pier to receive him The fact was, they were in the last stage of intoxication. However, they got him to the Park
 "The Irish visit was one continued ovation. The letters teem with rapturous comments on the loyal enthusiasm of the Irish, whom we find, however, with an eye to the main chance, taking every opportunity to dispose the royal mind favorably towards the great question of Roman Catholic emancipation. The repeal of the window tax, their first petition, was ob- tained at once, and although emancipation was not carried until ten years after, there is no doubt but that the foundation was laid during the Kinr,s visit to Ireland J

RULES FOR TRAvELLERs.-The following rules are important to travellers and are not as widely known as could be desired
 It has been lately decided that applicants for tickets on railroads can be ejected from the cars if they do not offer the exact amount of their fare. Conductors are not bound to make change.
 All railroad tickets are good until used, and conditions good for this day only," or other wise limiting the time of genuineness are of no account.
 Passengers who lose their tickets can be ejected from the cars unless they purchase 6 second one.
 Passengers are bound to observe decorum in the cars and are obliged to comply with all reasonable demands to show tickets Stand ing upon the platform, or otherwise violating rule of the company, renders person liable to be put off the train. -
 No person has any right to monopolize more seats than he has paid for, and any article left in the seat while the owner is temporarily ab- sent, entities him to the place on his return.
 The above rules are based on legal decisions.
