A Second Solomon.

In Para quay, as in the United States
there are several grades of courts o1
justice, from any one of which a party
may appeal direct to the Dictator him
self, who sits one day in each week t.
hear cases and mete out justice. So
wise and just are the decisions of Dor
Jose Lopez, that the Paraguans look
upon and revere him as another Solomon
We were afforded several opportunities
Of witnessing his manner of dispensing
justice, and l am of tle opinion thai
his legal acumen and discrimination as
judge in equity, place him, as jurist
not whit below the ablest men of oul
own country or Europe. They tell, in
Assumption, of an instance of the Die
tator's justice which, whether true Of
him or not, would not be misplaced un-
der his paternity.
A young caballero, whose character
had always been irreproachable, was
brought before the Paraguayan Presi-
dent, accused by a young woman whose
character was equally unspotted, of an
assault and outrage which, in Paragua
is punishable with death. Having
heard the Donna's positive testimony
and listened to the young mans protes-
tations of innocence, to the utter aston
ishment of everybody, the Dictator SEN
fenced the caballero to pay the woman
three thousand pesos in gold. and to pay
it to her, too, there in his presence.
The money was sent for and paid, the
woman went her way, and the caballero
was about to depart when the judge
said:
"Stop. Now, sir, follow that woman,
take the money from her, and bring it
here to me-"
The young man went out to do the
Dictator's bidding, and in half an hour
returned with one eye blackened, his
nose bleeding, and his face SCARED and
scratched as though a cat had been dig
ging at it-but he had not brought back
! the money.
''Did you take the money from the
woman :" demanded the Dictator.
mo, senior it was impossible. Youl
Excellency, she is cat-un tigre-ei
diablo! Look, senior, she has done
this"
The Dictator dispatched a guard
and the woman was directly brought in
/ ''Did you do this - asked President
Lopez, pointing to the young man:
bleeding face.
Isl, senor," replied the woman; ''h'
was going to rob me-"
"Ah, rob indeed! You wanton, yor
baggage, you wicked liar. Rob
humph! If You had defended you

believe you. Put down the gold AM

The KlrTAr1NNy AND WILSON

The kITTATINNY AND WILSON
BLAcKBERR1Es.-The inquiry being
frequently made as to what is the DIFF
ference between the Wilson's Early
and the kittatinny Blackberry, two
new varieties that have recently been
brought forward with strong recommen-
dations of their good qualities, it may
not be improper TO state that both are
berries of superior excellence, and great
acquisitions to our list of small fruits.
They resemble each other in many re-
spects; both are large, luscious, and
very productive, sweet and ready to be
eaten as soon as black, and hold their
color we'll after picking. Their princi-
pal difference is in the time and man.
ner Of ripening, which will adapt them to
the wants of different classes of fruit
growers.
The Kittatinny has the habit of con-
tinuing long in bearing, yielding its
luscious fruits through period Of six
to eight weeks. We have eaten of it
fresh from the vines on the 3Oth of Au-
gust. This property will make it a
favorite with the amateur and private
gardener, who grow little fruit for
family use, and would not desire many
bushels of blackberries at one time.
The Wilson's Early has the habit
Of ripening its crop mainly together,
and principally over in two weeks, and
before the height of blackberries come
on. Like the early pea, its whole crop
is gathered at few pickings, while
the price rules high; therefore, it does
not come in competition with any other
blackberries, but is ahead of them all
in market, and brings more money.
Fruit growers who already have as
many acres of the Rochelle as they
can properly attend to, would not want
many more ripening at the same time,
yet they might with great propriety
add another field Of an earlier variety
to come ahead and precede the New
Rochelles in market.-Rural .7drer-

A PARIS blacksmith has invented
new system of shoeing horses. Instead
of the shoe being placed on the hoof
and burning its own resting place, the
outside of the hoof is cut away around
the foot tc about the depth of half an
inch; this leaves a ledge into which
the shoe fits, and is then flush with the
frog, which just touches the ground,
and the whole foot rests on the ground
instead of being raised as of old by the
shoe. The advantages claimed are that
the foot is little pared, that instead of
a great heavy shoe, the animal is shod
in what are little more than racing
plates, that the horse never slips, that
the shoe allows the foot to expand nat
urahy, and that it lasts as long and is
as cheap as the old plan.
