WOULDN'T BE BADGREED-In late trial al
| Cincinnati the heirs of Mrs. Schnfeld--an
English lady of eccentric habits, who died in
Cincinnati in IS42-endeavorpd to persuade
the Court to set aside the will on several
grounds. The principal witness was Mrs.
Cheeseborough, aged seventy. She had been
asked half dozen times as to the age of one
of Mrs. Scho6eld's pephews. The report
continues:
Al tell you did not know bis age. rs
birth register is in England, and never went
to see it.
C.-Mrs. Cheesebrough 1t is perhaps prop
er to say to you that you must be patient,
and answer all the questions the counsel may
put to you.
Witness SO do, but / don't see any use
in answering the same questions over and
over again.
Couu.-Some of US may not hear all yonr
answers, and it is often necessary to repeat
questions.
Witness.-I generally speak loud enough
for anybody in the Court room to hear me,
and think if the lawyers would attend to
their business they wouldn't have to ask a
witness more than once.
Court.-Proceed with the examination.
Q.-You say Mrs. SchofeId drank great
deal of liquor; what did she keep it ina
jar?
A.-No; she kept it in demijohn in a
basket | never looked into the basket to see
whether it was glass or not, but | think it
was it held six quarts, and have carried it
a hundred times for her, if q strict account
had been kept, to Mr.. Smiths liquor store to
get it filled I remember Mr. Smith used Of
an tn 1T IN -
and would answer, "No; it's the same old
drunk )" but he knew l was okiBg, and he
knew who the liquor was for.
Q.-What kind of liquor did she use
A.-Brandy, sir-lhe regular genuine old
Cognac.
Q.-How did she drink it, pure or mixed
A.-She as often took it pure as any way
when she wanted TO she made it into grog
she used to drink it out of a little black tea
pot that was handler than a long bottle the
demjohn was filled every week but didn't
fill il always; she had a little Englshman
who used to go for her very often.
Question ny Juror.-How did she attend
to her business when she had had store on
Fifth street?
Al don't know exactly, but as / told you
before, she was always we'll up in money mat
ters.
Q.-Was she sober then?
A.-No, she was never sober. Drinking
had become sort of second nature with her.
She was like good many lawyers that know
Of, they can't lead case without being half
drunk. Langhter.] It's a fact. tell you
have seen many lawyer that never under
took to try case until, as they say, he had
1.-TWO sheets in the wind and one futterin'."

BRowNL0W AND PRENTICE.-BroWnlowa Rd
George D. Prentice, the first parson and a
statesman, the last a scholar and poet, and
both 0fthe editorial profession, are INDUCING
in pretty little newspaper duel. Here is a
put by Brownlow:
George d. Prentice the embodiment of al
that is merceRary, Incorporate and corr pt
George ID. Prenticel the butt-cut OF Original
Sin, the uppercrnst of all nastiness--a mis-
cradle old broken down hack, stepped to the
nose and chin in personal and political pro-
figscy lost to all sense of honor and shame,
and blind to all the obligations of patriot
ism
To which Prentice returns:
Brownlow never had mind enough to keep
his body from rotting-consequentl he has
always been mass of putrefaction; he has
never had sufficient common sense TO last him
over night, so that he wakes up a miserable
fool every morning.
All the little atom of sense be ever had
if be ever had an atom-has gone to the grave
before him-but not much before him it is to
be hoped for maIkind's sake. He has no
right to be still haunting "the glimpses ofthe
moon" lie is loathsome fislula on the body
polite. He is NANCY old dog--a disgrace
to his own feas. He Is a foul bubble floating
on the surface of cesspool.
He breeds lies as Satan's wives or concu-
bines breed imps, or as hes breed maggots.
If be didn't fill the atmosphere around him
with lies he couldn't breathe; he would die
like a rat in an exhausted receiver. Lies are
his meat, his drink, his lodging, his trans
portation, his whiskey, his snuff and his to-
bacco.
He has been pest, An itch, a leprosy, a
yellow plague in every community. He mas
distilled venom, like human bohnn npas
His tongue has ever been tsset on fire of hell, y
his heart being the hell to klndle the wag-
ging member. Bezebnb's tail is forever
coiled like snakearound the old miscreont's
neck.

john BRoUGHAM's 'Tread Light, for Ny
Heart is Under Your Feet, Love-" is more
than equalled by lover who thus goes skat-
ing on lady's heart:
Thy heart is like frozen lake.
On whoseeold brink stand;
Oh, buckle my spirits skate,
And take me by the hand
And lead, thou loving saint, the way,
To where the ice is thin,
That it may break beneath my feet
And let q lover in.
