TIE 7. & o. MASpANus.-A poet q U
reate, Silver City, sends US the following
verses, whieb,pressut in convenient nur-
sery form adjudicassd distinction as
to the only TWO classes of debts illegally
de6ned) that exist in this State: debts
in class No. l, aud certain beverage bar
gains in class 2 As:
Atailor Of Virginia sued
A Ranchman for his raiment;
Alleging that the suit was sewed
For gold and silver payment.
The case went up to Beatty's Court, .
|. Who judgment thus did render:
"All debts, Of every kind and sort,
Are paid with 'legaltender."
A few months pass. when, 10, behold!
This Judge, Of greenback ardor,
Swears a 'mandamus' for MS GOLD,
Due him from poor Nevada!
"Ah! you forget" the people say,
"Your legal tender rulings"
"Sot l." cries he-"'takes coin to pay
For tea and chocolate droolings."
The author informs US that the ''ar-
gument" Of the Court, express or i'm
piled, is: "Import duties are paid IN
gold; tea and chocolate are imported;
without :ea and chocolate we could not
drool; ergo, Beatty and Blasdel must be
paid in gold up to expiration OF their
first drool-term."

complaceutly by George as full compeu-
sation for his practical joke, though be
swesrs he ought to have had a peep at

ports the Senator thin and morose as
