Not the Law.

A good story IS told of Judge M---,
presiding in one of the Supreme Court dis
tricts in Western New York:
An action was brought in his court for
one thousand dollars for damages for as
sault and battery. The facts were that the
defendant, while walking in the street with
his wife on his arm, was rudcly accosted
by the plaintiff, whom he had in some way
offended, and was called in loud and in
sulting terms an opprobrious epitbet. On
being thus addressed, the defendant left
his wife and knocked down the plaintiff,
who thereupon brought this action. The
judge sympathiscd very strongly with the
defendant, but, as the case was closely
tried by the plaintiffs attorney, he knew
that if there was peg given the latter
whereon to hang an exception to his charge
So when the violence to the law had been
the judge arose and charged the jury as
follows:
"Gentlcmen Of the Jury, if the plaintiff
had met ne walking along the street with
my wife on my arm, and had called me
what it is not denied that he called the de-
fendant, should have knocked him down
just as the defendant did. BIT, gentlemen
of the jury, tint is not the lar. Iou may
take the case, gentlemen"
The jury gave the plaintiff six cents
damages, without leaving thcrseats.
SELLING THE STATE OF MAINE.--A very
singular scene occurred at the State House
in Augusta, Me-, last Wednesday. A. Mrs.
Thornton, of Portland, has caused notice
ola sale of the State of Maine to be posted
up on the doors of the State House. and at
ten o'clock she proceeded to satisfy her
claim by selling the Commonwealth. Sew
eral bids were made by the Senators and
Representatives at fabulous sums, but
finally the lady struck ii of to herself
and took her seat in the Speakers chair.
AS far as this went all we'll but the time
for the opening of the session had now ar.
rived, and Mrs. Thornton was politely re-
questcd to come down from her position,
but she declined to do so, saying that she
had bought the State, and must stay and
keep her position. Upon the clerk order
ing the messenger to remove her II ct armis,
scene of great confusion ensued. She ut
{ terly refused to be elected by force. The
members began to beg Mrs. Thornton TO
go out quietly, but she was deaf to their
entreaties. She resisted tiercely, but was
finally persuaded to retire, and was last
seen in the State Library looking up legal
authorities to sustain her claim. The lady
in question is regarded as demented upon
this one subject, although perfectly sane
on all Others.
