How Legal Decisions are got NOw-a-
DAYS.

Z The Wisconsin Legislature had formally
considered proposition to abolish all laws
for the collection of debts The mover of the
bill, Mr.. Gilmore, is great wag, as eviuced
by the following extract from his speech On
that subject
The speaker proceeded to review the pre-
sent SYSTEM Of collecting debts. 1t was all
humbug and cheat, a matter of technical
ties aud legal shutting. Lawyers gave adj
vice in order to obtain fees and encourage lit
igation. Judges made buuders and mistakes
He had little experience in law, and that
was rich Laughter.] He would give
history of it. The speaker then related how
he had purchased yoke of oxen about fifteen
years ago-pad fifty dollars for them--a few
days after the son of the man of whom he
had bought the oxen calle to him and said
the oxen were his. He insisted on having pay
over again, and commenced suit before a
justice. The jury didn't agree. Finally,
through the Eastwood Justices of the Peace,
the case went against him. He appealed to
the Circuit Court in Milwaukee. There l lost
again, and said to my lawyers; Il will give
you ten dollars to quote Pennsylvania law to
Judge Miller; and get new trial ordered. -
[Great laughter.1 He took the ten dollars
and performed his duty.
A new trial was then granted, and the
venue changed to Walworth county, Judge
Irwin was then the Judge. Any man who
wanted to gain a case in his court, had either
to so hunting with him and let the Judge
claim al the game that was shot, or else pat
his dog patted his dog [Laughter.] l
fed that dog with crackers. Renewed laugh
ter. The case was decided in my favor
When heard the decision, thought the dog
had followed me about long enough turn
ed round and gave him kick. Laughter
The yelp of the dog had hardly subsidized ere
heard the Judge say, "Mr Clerk, this judg-
ment is set aside and a new trial granted. -
CGreat Iaughter.l Mr.. Speaker, that kick
cost me SPOOL [Convulsive laughter You
have no doubt seen suit in Justices court
in the country There is time spent by ju-
rors and hangers on besides other costs, at
least $50, besides the i'll feelings and dissen-
sons caused by it, 1t is all cheat, The
litigants had better sit down and play game
of old sledge to decide the case. 1t would
be more sure to settle the dispute justly

THE WAY THEY DIsApPEAR-The Shenan-
doah Valley says: 5e
On Saturday morning last the attention OF
some of Captain Rice's hands was attracted
by the cries of an infant, proceeding from an
old stable near his residence. On investigation
an abandoned negro child was found, The
captain ON being informed of the circumstance
Immediately pursued the inhuman mother,
and, overtaking her about two miles below
town, compelled her to return and take her
infant away with her The child, when dis
covered, was surrounded by hogs; and 1t IS
more than, probable that in short time 1t
would have been devoured

GENERAL HILL AS EpIToR.-Lieutenant
General D. H. Hill, already an author of re-
pute, propo es to publish monthly maya
zine in Charlotte, North Carolina. The pro-
spectus of the journal, in another column, ex-
hibits its design and character. Few men in
the Confederate army gained higher distinc-
ton during the ecent war than vas won by
General Hill. While his zeal and skill were
recognized, his personal intrepidity was the
theme of especial applause. We are pleased
to be assured that he intends to devote his
abilities and energies to the cause of letters
and the public interests.

A FAIR UNDERSTANDING "A good
story is told of spirited young lady on
her way TO church to be married. AT
the door, her intended husband paused,
and said very unexpectedly "My dear
girl, there are three thiEgs of which |
ought to have spoken to you before, and
if you do not like them, it is not now too
late to retire from our engagement. To
tell you the whole truth 1 must insist,
first, to sleep alone J; second, to eat alone;
and third, to find fault when there is no
occasion"
as that all ?" she said. II agree at
once. If you sleep alone, I shall not; if
you eat aloue, 1 shall eat first and as to
your finding fault, l shall take care that
you never want occasion"
The conditions being thus adjusted,
they entered the church, The ceremony
was performed, and at the last accounts,
both parties were getting along harmoni-
ously, the husband having fairly given in
to the high spirit and good humor OF his
wife.

A MAN WHO VOTED FOR BUCHANAN
CONSIDERS THE ACT OF FOLLY SUFFI-
GENT FOR HIS DIsFRANCHIsEMENT. -
The following anecdote is related of Gen
eral Sherman In conversation with a
number of officers at his heaf quarters in
the fall of 1864, the Presidential election
was touched upon, when some one of the
number addressed Gen. Sherman with:
General, who will you vote for 2"
81 shall vote for neither"
"Nct vote ? That Is very strange"
"I'lI tell you Why" said the General.
81 never voted but once, and then | dis
tranchised myself"
Such looks of wonder and incredulity
as this produced may be imag agibed, but the
General, paying no attention thereto, pro-
ceeled:
81 never voted for President but once
in my life, and that was for Buchanan,
and | am since satisfied that any person
who was id fool enough TO do that, has
not sense enough to exercise the elective
franchise. l disfranchised myself, and
consequently shall not vote"
