An exchange says: a judge ia
Baltimore went into the river to bathe
the other morning, and while he was
swiiniug about some abandoned scoun.
drel stole all bis clothes excepting hi,
high hat ard an umbrella. We won't
undertake to explain how mad tho
judge was, because, although the Eng.
lisl language Is copious, its most eili-
cient and vigorous adjectives are
entirely unequal TO the expressions of
certain degrees Of emotion, But ho
stayel IN the water about four hours
experimenting with the different kinds
OF imprccations and endcavoring to
select two or three Of the sturdiest oh.
jurations for application OF the thief.
Al last he came out and after mounting
the high hat, be opened the umbrel-
Ia and tried to cover bis retreat up the
street toward his house. II appeared
10 the Judge that all the female pu-
pills Of the boarding schools and the
members Of Doreas societies, and the
worhan's rights convehtions were out
promenading that day, and tie Judge
had an awful time going through tho
Iouavc drill with that umbrella. When
ho reached homo he heard that tho
thief had been captured. The judge
is now engaged in writing out his
charge to tho jury, in advance of the
trial Those who have seen thc rough
drafts say it is the most picturesque
paper ever drawn up in that section d
the country.

In the course of conversation Pru-
dence told to Nancy many new things
which she had learned Of household
mysteries, while Mr.. Deopwatcr talked
with his host of the great improve
monts which were being made in ag-

in spite Of himself, though ho tried to
appear otherwise.

Do Nor UsK CRACKED DisHEs.--
There is trouble often attendant upon
badly cracked dishes; such dishes ab-
sorb oils or fats from the different
kinds Of food placed upon them. These
fats soon dccomposo .in the Poros OF
the dish, and no amount Of cleansing
can remove the nauseating aud poison
GUS deposit. Such dishes arc filthy
and unfit for use. Tho peculiar uu-
pleasant taste sometimes noticed upon
pic crust is caused by their being bak'

has been absorbed. stv oaft si.i.

Jokes from, IIarpcr's Drawer

A CORRESPONDENT in Idaho incloscs
to the Drawer, copies Of some OF tt,
old district laws Of that region. Frcr
the early settlement OF the Pike,
Peak region, in 'jS and 80, until th,
autumn Of 90, it was divided int,
mining districts, each district elect
ing its own officers nnl enaclinr il,
and enforcing its own laws. \ few O
these are rs follows:
Lower Union District. .-Passcc
June 5, lS60.-Sec s If any per
sou or persons shall be guilty of steal
Ing, the injured party may tako suf
ficent property OF defendant to satisfy
all damage, and the dotenIeut shall be
banished from the district, and, fail.
ing to leave tho district Immediately
on notice, shall teocivc not loss than
five, nor more than tvcnty.nine lashcs
And in case the value of tho property
stolen bo over 800. he seall be hang,
Cd by the neck until he is dead. TIL,
injured party may proceed to retake
his property and remuncrate himself
Revision Of March, 1851, ST.. o.
RcsoIred That any person who shall
be tried for stealing before the Miners
Court, IT found guilty, shall receive
not less than twenty, nor more than
one hundred lashcs. And for stealing
a yoke Of oxen, horse, mule, or pony,
he shall bc hung by tho neck until he
is dead and in all eases the party
having had property stolen shall be
made good by the party guilty Of
stealing, in his power. Tho presi-
deat will in all cases appoint the per.
son.to whip, and the whipped person
shall be banishcd from the mountains
forever, and not complying within two
hours, the whipping to be repeated.
Resolved: : That No lawyer Ishall be
permitted to practice in any court in
this district, undcr penalty OF not more
than fifty, nor less than twenty lashes,
aud be banished from the district.
Banner District, March s, 1861.
No lawyer or pettifogger shall be al.
lowed to plead in any SQUIRT in ibis
district. ..
Trail Creek District, Aug. 20, 1869
No lawyer, attorney, COUNSELOR or
pettifoggcr shall DO allowed TO plead ip
any case, or before any judge or jury
in this district,
That seeing 10 be more comprehen.
sive and specific. But what absurd
prejudice against lawyers
The c'ine of perjury scer.s to have
been regarded as veniGa offence com.
pared With the irregular appropriation
oea mule. Thus
Any person convicted Of perjury
shall receive twenty-five lashes on the
bare back, aud tho sheriff stall per,
form said duty.
Ybis is somewhat in the style OF the
rhymed advice Of the noble Bushrod
to his son G.. Washington !:
Z" ,Tis better 20 tell ten thonsand lies,
Than cut down one appuel tree"
II is q curious fact that the Terrific
rial Legislature, at its first session. rat
fled and confirmed oil tho old distric,
laws. IL is also curious, in reference
to tho summary code quoted above,
that very few persons, perhaps not one
is known TO have sutlered Us penal
