A LEGAL ANECD1TE.-H. T. Tuckerman, in s recent
volume of essays entitled The Criterion in the Test
of Talk about Familiar Things, just published tells
the following amusing aneCdOte: "A venerable Jus
tice in of cities remarkable for the fre
Quentreproofs he administered to young practitioners
he out the patience of those so unfortunate as
to give testimony in his presence. On one occasion
1t happened that he was summoned as witness in
case to be defended by of the juvenile members
OF the bar whom he nau often called to order with
needless severity. This hopeful limb of the law
was gifted with more than common share of the
cool assurance requisite in the profession and
determined, to improve the opportunity to make
his learned friend of tho bench feel the sting
he had so often inflicted. Accordingly, when his
honor took the stand, the counsel gravely INQUIRED
his name, place of residence. and sundry other
facts of his personal histOry-though all were
familiar to himself and every one present as the
old church, or main street of their native town
The queries were put in voice and with a manner
so exactly initiated from that of the Judge himself
to COnvulSe the audience with LAUGHTER; every un-
necessary word the hampered witness used Tepri
manded as beyond the question: he continually
adjured to tell the truth the whole truth and moth
ing but the truth his expressions were cautiously
objected to- he was tantaiized with repeiti"ns and
crOsSqueStoning bout the Vercst trifeS and finally,
his tOTmentoT, with face of the utmost gravity, pro
tended to discover in the witness evity of bearing
and equivocal replies which called for n lecture on
the responsibility Of an OATH; this delivered with
pedantlc sOlemnty III words, accent and gesture so
ike one OF his own addres es from the BENCH that
judge jury and spectators burst forth into irresistible
peaS of laughter and the subject of this clever
taaton lost all sefpOsSesSion red and pale by
turns, tumed, and at last protested until his young
adversary wound up the farce by a threat to commit
him for contempt of court"

EARLY GOODRICH POTATOES.

This celebrated po,atoe will be deliv-
cred ia Sioux CITY al 1925 per peck, and
$500 per bushel. Also, a few of the
Gleason-the best late variety of Mr..
Goodrich's seedlings at the same price
Orders may be sent to me by mail, or left
with Chas. X. Smith. Cash must accom-.
pany each order.
TO readers of agricultural papers these
potatoes reed no recommend. The early
Goodrich was named in honor Of its orr
gina,or, she Rev. Chauncey f. Goodrich,
Of Utica, N. Y. Mr.. Goodrich spent sew
eral years in the originaton and best cul-
ture Of potatoes During this time be
propogated directly from the seed hull
sixteen thousand plants, no TWO Of them
being exactly alike. The most Of these
new varieties were grown from seed saved
from potatoes that he imported from those
sections in South America where the po-
tatoe is an iudegeuious plant. His OBJ &c.
was to obtain new productive and bealth
full kinds Of high quality. such as our
fathers used to cultivate fifty years ago.
His success was all that could have been
desired. The Garne,-Chili, one of his
first seedlings, has given general salts
faction, and is extensively cultivated ; but
the early Goodrich and Gleason excel in
quality-and their yeild exceeds that of
any other Potatoc. The rapid growth and
early maturity Of the Early Goodrich,
lessons the trouble from the potat9e bug
more than half what it is with late va,ie-
ties. DIR. Gray, Superintendent of the
New York State Lunatic Asylum, says
have never known an early pota oe
that equals the Early Go drich IN qualify
productire"ess, and health. 1t has No
fault for an earl = po'a'oe-besides it keeps
we'll all WINTER
The Statements published in the agri-
cultural journals, state the yield of the
Early Goodrich at from three to FIVE hun
dred bushels per acre and tie Gleason
at from four to six hundred bushels per
acre-wl ich agrees with my own expert
ence in favorable seasons.
