"Terribie Deaf"

In oldcn times, before Maine laws
were invented, Hall kept the hotel at IT.
Ivington, n. j., and furnished accommo-
dation TO man and beast. lie was a
good landlord, but terribly deaf. The
Village painter was afflicted in the same
way. One day they were sitting by
themselves in the bar-room. Hall was
lsitting behind the counter waiting foi
The next customer, while the village
painter was hanging before fire with q
thirsty look, casting sleeps eyes occa-
lsionally at Halls decanters, aud wishing
most devoutly that some one would
come in and treat. A traveller on lis
way TO Brandon stepped in to inquire
The distance.
Can you tell me, sir, how far it is te

"Brandy," says the ready landlord
Jumping up; "yes, sir, have some" a
the same time handing down decantel

"You misunderstood me-" says tn,
traveller; II asked how far it was tt

"Thcy call it pretty good brandy,
says Hall. "Will you take sugar wit!

The despairing traveller turned to th'

A Good One.

Many an amusing incident occurred
during the recent encampment Of the
Toledo Knights Templar ut Putin BAY,
one Of which is related as follows:

Negroes ut the State Normal
School.

The Radical Terre Haute Express Of
Saturday says:
The fact that some two or three color
ed teachers attended the recent session
|Of the Normal School, has fallen as a
very afilictive dispensation upon the
Journal and other Democratic sheets.
When colorcd people were meanly taxed
TO educate white children, while their
own children were deprived Of any OPP
portunity to learn anything, except ut
the private expense Of their parents and
guardians, the Journal and other papers
of the same stripe, thought it was all
right!
And that is what's the matter with the
State Normal School. White parents
are told, very coolly, that if they do not
desire to send their daughters to the
State Normal School to mingle In classes
and recitations with negro men and wo-
men, that they can keep them at home.
II is quite probable, if this rule is to be
ladhegcd to by the managers Of the
ischo6l, that the institution will be con-
verted into negro high school; for cer-
tain it is that few white persons will at
tend it. N. A. Ledger.

Religion Of the CCmbataEts.

There is great misunderstanding
about the religion OF the parties to the
European war For the languid Interest
which great many persons profess to
take in the success Of one side OF the
other they are as much put to it to as
sign reason as they would be to explain
why they wish the rcd or the specklc
cock TO whip when two neigbborhood
Ichickcns disagree. Some are for France
because she is Catholic, and some are for
|Germany because she is Protestant. The
truth is that neither nation is pious
enough to ground arms and 60 TO pray
ing on Sunday. There is very little re-
|ligious faith and great deal Of what is
called inidelity among the males OF both
countries. France recognizes all relig-
lions and the State cndows the Protest
lant and Jewish churches in proportion
Ito the number of worshipers with the
same liberal support that is accorded
from public revenues TO the Catholic
The royal family of Prussia is part Cath
Ioic and part Protestant. In the North
German Confederation there are 21,3l2-
334 Protestants 10 s,l31,l36 Catholics.
In the South German Confederation
there are only 3,36Q,999 Professionals to
5,127, ,304 Catholics. The army now in
France is probably more than one-third
Catholic, and there is very poor reason
for allowing religion to determine any
mans sympathics in this war. The ar
my Of South Germany, led by the Crown
Prince through so much hard fighting
with uninterrupted success, constitutes
the left wing Of the German advance
and ia composed chiefly Of Catholic SOL
ldicrs. The soldiers in the field are not
thinking about the religious creed of Tho
enemy, and to urge such matter in this
country is the height Of absurdity ant
lbigotry. Louisville Couricr-J ournal.

with Homicide Of J. G. Wimberly.

State va. B. 81. Nnkgrave, charged
with Homicide Of J. G. Wimterly.
Tho accused was brought be-,
fore Judge Caldwell as commits
ting magistrate, on the End inst
After a full and exhaustive hear
ing, the Judge after stating the
rules which govern in Louisiana
in tho definition of crimes, deliv-
cred the following opinion:
Excusable Homicide is of two
kinds:
/. Where a man doing a za.cful
act, without any intention OF hurt,
by accident kills another-this is
called homicide by misadventure.
2. In self-defense, which exists
where one is assaulted upon
sudden ARRAY, and in the defense
of his person, where certain and
Immediate suffering would be the
consequence of waiting for the
assistance, aud there was no 9th
er probable means of escape, he
kills his assailant. 3 Greenleaf
on Evil; par. 116
To reduce homicide in self-de-
Tense, to this degree, it must be
shown that the slayer was closely
pressed by the other party, and
|retreated as far as he convent
emily or safely could, in good
faith. with the honest intent to
avoid the violence of the assault,
and in the Selfridge case, the
principles Of law laid down by
Judge Parker, come in question
IN the case under investigation.
1t was said in that case, that
|"when, from the nature Of the at
tack, there is reasonable ground
for a man to believe that there is
Ia design to destroy his life, or
commit any felony upon bis per-
son, the killing of the assailant
will be excusable. homicide."-,
Judge Parker limited the appi-
cation Of this principle to cases,
when not only there is reasona-
BILE ground to believe that there
lis a design to destroy life, but
when that reasonable belief is
based, not on surmise OR inference,
however intelligent, but on an
actual Immediate, and physical at
tack from, the assailant. The testi-
mony of DR.. Calderwood and Of j.
P. Hill show that there was such
an attack that the accused was
retreating and had received a
severe blow over the eye, and on
the principles laid down, [ an of
the, oninion that this is a case of
excusable homicide. ..
The accused will therefore be
discharged. s-- .~. ..'.r
