An AStOniSheti Court.

A few days ago, says the New Orleans
Plcayune, an old lady and young one
found themselves in Court, charged with
disturbing the peace. The officers state
ment was clearly given, and certainly dis
closed an equal culpability in both. 1t was
evident, however, that the Court inclined a
favorable Judgment to the Youngest. and
the scales of justice were rapidly tipping in
her favor:
''Why did you abuse this young lady?"
the magistrate demanded of the old one
81 had right tor was the calm reply
''What was she doing?"
keeping company with very improper
character.
And what is that to you?"
''She's my daughter y
"Oh, indeed and you think the person
was an improper character"

'Do you know who he was?"
81 don't know MS name. I've seen him
prowling around after night"
And then, as if actuated by sudden i'm
pulse. the old lady adjusted her spectacles,
peered cautiously at the Court from under
her great sun-bonnet, and then exclaimed:
GOOD lack good lack Why, you're
the man p'
''Me! me y exclaimed the astonlshed
Court. Me, woman did you say me?"
Again the spectacles were adjusted, and
the curious gaze prolonged, while the old
Lady nodded her head at intervals.
''Yes, yes, it's the same ugly face. I'm
sure of it; but I'll forgive you this time
I'll forgive you. And the old lady hobbled
away, leaving the Court gasping with as
tonishment, and unable to interpose an OBJ
lection to her departure.

NO MORE WARS.
victor Hugo at the Peace Congress
Freedom before Pence.

Ihe Rappel, the revolutionary paper in
Parls, prints Victor Hugo's speech before
the Feace League at Lausanne, in Switzer-
land. 1t will be noticed there is a very
important condition in his advocacy of
universal brotherhood. This is the con-
cluslon Of his address :s-1
we who are here, what do you wish p
Peace. We desire peace; we desire it ard
entity, we desire it absolutely. We desire it
between man and man, between people and
people, between race and race, between
brother and brother, between Abel and
Cam. We desire the appeasement of hat
red. But this peace, how do we want it
DO we desire it at all price? Will we have
it without conditions No We want not
the peace Of the bent back and the bowed
head HE
We want not peace of despotism, under
baton or under the scepter. The first con-
dltion of peace is deliverance For this
dellveranee there must bean effort, assured
ly'a revolution, which will be the supreme,
and alasl perhaps war which will be the
last. Then all will be accomplished. Peace
being inviolable, will be perpetual Then
no more armies, no more kings The van
lshlng of the present-that is what we will
We will that the people shall live, labor,
purchase, sell, speak, love, and think free
ly, and that they shall have schools making
citizens, and no more princes making rifle
men. We will the great continental Re-
public, we will the United States OF Europe,
and conclude with this watchword: Liber-
ty, the object the result.

FRIGHTFUL CALAMITY.
Burning of the Steamer StOnewail--
Over Two Hundred Lives Lost.

CHICAGO, Oct. 28.-A special from Car
bondale, Illinois says that the steamer
Stonewall, which left st. Louis for New
Orleans on TUESDAY evening, heavily laden
with passengers, horses, mules, hay and
other freight, last night about o'clock,
when near Neely's Landing, ten miles from
Grand Tower, took fire, and despite all eff
forts to save her, was burned to the waters
edge. When the fire broke out, every ef-
fort was made to land, bat, the steamer was
so heavily laden that she could not be
brought nearer than. one hundred yard of
the shore Great confusion and terror pre-
vailed. There were about two hundred
cabin and deck passengers aboard. quite q
number OF whom were women and child
ren. The flames spread with great rapid
ty. Scores Of men sprang into the water
and attempted to reach the shore by swim
ming. Nearly all these were lost Every
conceivable object that could be obtained
was thrown into the water, and to those
the passengers clung with all the tenacity

Betting with ST. Giles.

Near Cerney, in another little village. is
the church Of st. Giles. By the side OF the
altar is an image OF the patron saint, and at
his feet Is bov placed there for the pur-
pose of receiving contributions Quite re-
Gently the padre noticed that although con-
siderable money was deposited in the box.
yet the amount that he found there was al
ways very small; and as no one beside him
self and the beadle had access to the de-
posltory, he at last accused this functionarv
OF abstractlng the money. He at first de-
MED 1t; but after while confessed that he
had at times taken small amounts, but he
explained 1t In this wise: 'sWhen it was a
hot day, said he, ''and I wanted drink,
and had no meney with which TO buy it, I
would go INTO the church, walk up to st.
Giles, and say to him: Now, old fellow. I
VIII bet you franc that 7 will beat YOU in
a race to the church door, Then I would
count one, two, three, and away! and T al
ways beat him, though I gave him per
teetly fair chance. Of course he could not
take the money from the box and GIVE it
to me himself, and so took it out; but I
never took more than the amount of the
debt The beadle lost his situation, though
he protested that he had always given St.

A Coop MEDICINE. Telegraph.
published at Kenosha, Wis, says: 1T is
not often that we say much in favor of
Patent Medicines, because it is hard dis
tinguishing between the humbug and the
really valuable medicine. But we go out
of our general custom to say that Hoof-
lands German Bitters is no humbug We
have tried it, and we know it to be almost
infallible in cases of indigestion, disar-
rangement of the Liver, &c. It has cured
US of the most obstinate case of the Jaun-
dice, after every other remedy had failed.
And in no less than half dozen instances
where we have recommended it to our
friends for the same disease it has proved
alike eticaeious; and we have yet to hear
of the case wherein it has failed. Hoof-
lond's German Bitters is entirely free from
all Alcoholic adlnixture."
'tHoofand's German Tonic is combina-
ton of the ingredients Of the Bitters, with
pure Santa Cruz Rum, orange, anise, &C..
making preparation of rare medical value.
The Tonic is used for the same diseases,
as the Bitters, in cases WI re some Alco-
hollc stimulus is necessary.

BOILED BEEF FROM Sour. The beef ia il,
ken from a soup may be utilized in various
ways. L am myself of the opinion that
the best way to employ boiled beef is to cut
it, cold, into slices of extreme thinness,
dressed with buttered toast; or else to eat
it as salad, the dressing to be seasoned
with plenty Of pot herbs. However, for
those who prefer it hot, there are excellent
ways of serving it. For example:

one of which is So feet 8 inches long, and
