b6- Judge Griffith, on the bench in Ga,
appointed a crier whose want of sense was
more than made up by the size of his voice.
A young lawyer of the bar, with more fun
than legal lore in him, was fond of playing
off jokes upon him. So one day the judge
ordered the crier to call Jabez Logue.
The lawyer, stepping behind the crier,
whispered, "Epi.logue" in his ear.
"Epi-logue1" shouted the crier.
"Mono.iogue." said the lawyer.
"Monologue P' cried the crier.
"Pro-logue."
And the crier still cried "Prologue
Catalogue" .... -
And the pertinacious crier shouted "Dia-
iogue !" at the top of his voice. - e..
Discouraged at hearing no response from
the Logue family, the crier turned and said
to the Court, sitting in mute astonishment
at the stupid crier's calls:
"I've called all the logs in town, and
never one of them is here to speak for him
self"

A NEGRO Town WITH NEGRO OFFI-
cERs.-Mitchellsville, it must be remem.
bered, is the negro village on Hilton Head
Island, regularly organized with negro OH.
GERS, and enjoying its Councilmen and Su-
pervisor, whom their constituents insist on
styling Alderman and Mayor. The calder
men" settle disputes concerning claims tor
personal property. Before one OF them came
a disconsolate negress. Her hen had been
stolen, and Gawky Sam was the boy who
did it. The boy was summoned, the evil
dence heard, the case was clearly made out,
and two dollars fine imposed. But here
stepped in another Alderman, who added
another dollar to the fine. Before the money
was paid still another managed to get the
case before him, and imposed fine of FIVE
dollars. By this time the Supervisor
("Mayor'') heard the story and summoning
all the parties, inquired:
"Uncle Ben, why did you fine de boy
two dollars 2"
swell, sab, de case was clear; de hen
was nifty hne, fat IN, and reckon she
WORT about dollar. Den, sir, nobody
oughtub be lowed to steal for less dan a
dollar no how. So I made him pay de wuf
of de hen to de owner, and dollah for
stealin' beside" ..... e..
"Well, 'Cp!erklis (Anglice Uncle Her
cules,) why you make de fine tree dollah 2"
"Well, de hen var wuf dollah easy
Den de boy ought to pay dollah for steal
in anyhow. But den, sab, dat hen war a
layin' eggs, and if dat Gawky Sam hadn't
done stole her, de eggs she'd a laid 'ud a
been wuf 'tleatst 'nuther dollar by dis
timep
Ludicrous as was the solemnity of these
proceedings, they were nevertheless, of
value, as showing inherent ideas of Justice.

as will be seen. Magnesia costs about

JUDICIAL FUN.

stIn the town of Plattsburg, Clinton
County, New York, something more than a
few years ago, while the court was in ses-
sion, case was called which involved some
very snice points in respect to the charac-
ter of rather rough sort of fellow. When
Judgment was rendered, he was so enraged
that he sprang- to his feet, and shaking his
fist at the Judge, ,swore that he could buy
such q court as that for peck of beans /!
The Judge, after roaring 9 great roar at
him, told him be should fine him five dol
lars for contempt of court. The poor fel-
low knew not what to do, as he evidently
had no such article about him as five dollars
in money, and the law in those days pitch
ed o man at once into prison if he could
not pay. He turned and begged lawyer
who was sitting near to help him. The
lawyer rose, and, addressing the Court as.
sured the Judge of the fellows penitence
for the offence, and besougbt him to exer-
else, if possible, his clemency in the case.
The Judge slowly yielded, and expressed
q willingness to let it all drop if the fellow
would make humble confession there and
at once. Whereupon he arose, and with
unmistakeable marks of SORROW confessed his
sin, and begged to be forgiven. The Judge
accordingly said it should end there. The
fellow, stillstanding, repeated the assurance
of his SORROW that he had rated such a
court 30 Low as to affirm that he could buy
it for peck of beans. Twas wrong,' he
said, saR wrong; butt said he, 'if I had
said half 6ushez, I wouldn't have taken
it back-aever =
SIN circumstances pot altogether dissim-
liar, though not at the same place, during
the sittings of court, couple from 'the
upper ten' desired to get married. With a
view to having the ceremony done rather
extra, they decided on having it performed
by the presiding Judge of the court. The
gentlemen of the bar together with maay
from the npper circles of society, were in.
Yited, and other things arranged with a
view to some little display. The Judge
