icine, was called up before one OF the
Randolph Street Justices in sChicago,
last week, on adisorderly conduct war
rant, sworn out by Miss Susan Neil
The complainant was very pretty girl.
She blushed, hid her face, and stated
that she was forced TO take the present
step only by the ohstinacy Of the prison
er. These two had been engaged, and
many gifts and notes had passed between
them. One day, for the merest nothing,
he had picked q quarrel. broken the
match and her heart, and yet refused to
glove, the curl and the ribbon she had
given him. She supposed he kept them,
and showed them to his wicked associa-
ties, and boosted of them as trophies of
his conquest of a fond and girlish heart.
His Honor looked gloomily at Mr..
Gibbon-there was a Bridewell in his
eye.
Mr. Gibbon replied that he greatly
preferred attempting an amputation at
the hip joint to falling in love with
woman. If a fellow had any feeling OF
security about it, it might be different.
but there never was any telling where
one was to fetch up. He had tried ro-
mantle young ladies, and literary young
ladies, and had come to grief every in
stance Finally he had settled on Miss
Susan, who was described to him to be
. matter Of fact, biscuit baking young
woman. He had paid her his addresses,
making little gifts of saleratus and blue
ing, and receiving In return some ginger
cakes. She was not to DC too deeply
into sentiment. II he spcke of poetry,
she spoke of pastry. If he spoke of
radient hopes, she spoke of washing
soap. A few days ago he went to see
her, and found her preserving Some
thing in the looks of the paper which
she had put over the cans struck him,
and he looked and found that she had
used his love letters for that purpose
That seemed little too cool, and he
spoke of it to her. She replied that it
was wise idea of hers. Ali those be-
ginning - Dear Susan went over the
peaches, and all those beginning {. My
own love- over the apples. She wish
ed he would write one more Of the lat
ter, in order TO make up the number she
wanted He felt such, q woman would
never do for him, sEi lad broken of
the match. AS for returning her letters
it was out of the question. The words
OF love they contained were part of him
self. When he saw them, it brought the
old DAYS hack, the melodies of the youth
Of their love, before the roses had with
cred and before he ceased giving her
saleratus.
During these remarks the court wiped
its eyes, took from its pocket spare
| handkerchief, small dictionary, some
blank forms, All almanac, and last a
small tin box, which locked rs if it
| might, at some time, have held Seidlitz
powders. This box the court opened,
and took out little parcel tied up in
red tape, on which it dropped tear and
then said:

court corresponded with that girl by the
weekly stage. In q moment of frenzy
that girl Tilted this court, and demanded
her letters and string of beads. This
court replied it would not return the
beads, which it had traded to grocery
store, and that it would not return the
letters, when intreated by a brother to
| give them up. This court, to the great
laceration of its feelings, knocked down
that brother and stamped upon him.

tend to stultity itself by taking any act

discharged AS for the complainant, sh c
will be fined $40, which sum this court
would assess on the person who Tilted
it, if it could get hold of her.
