A JUDICIAL OPINION. A lawyer came in
to Court drunk, when the Judge said to
him:
'Sir-l am sorry to see you in a condi-
ton which is disgrace to yourself and fam
lily, the Court, and the profession to which
you belong"
The reproof elicted the following colilo-
guy:
odd your honor speak to me p

di.graced yourself and family, the Court, and
the profession to which you belong, by your
conduct.
"May lit please your honor, have been

years, and permit me to say, your honor,
that this is the first correct opinion l ever

ApMIxTURE OF RAcEs.-Nowhere, per-
haps, says Professor Agassiz,is is the physical
and moral deterioration Of pure races so clear
ly shown as in Brazil. The hybrid between
the Indian and the negro, called caflzo, has
none Of the delicacy Of the mulatto; his COM
plexion is dark his hair is long, wavy and
curling, and his character instead of being
confdng, but indolent, is described by
Agassiz as exhibiting happy combination
between the jolly disposition of the negro and
the energetic, enduring powers Of the Indian.
The hybrid between the white and half breed
is called mame.uco, and is described as being
palid, effeminate, feeble, lazy and rather OBJ
stinate, the Indian influence having apparent
ly eb'iterated the higher characteristics Of
the white, without imparting its own energies
to the offspring. Noticeable exceptions to
this picture may be found in the half breeds
of the semi-civilzed communities of our south
ern Indians. 1t is very remarkable that the
Indian, crossing with either negro or u
white, makes deeper impress on his progeny
than the other races and in accordance with
this fact, it is observed that, in further cross
ing, the pure Indian characteristics are re-
sumed and those of the other races thrown
off. ''Let any one, says Professor Agassiz,
"who doubts the evil of the mixture of races,
and is inclined, from mistaken philanthropy,
to break down all barriers between them.

ment modesty overcame fear, and he once
more halted. The snakeship evidently
pleased with his rapid transportation, mani
tested his gratitude by attempting to enfold
the legs of our hero within his embrace.
With an explosive touch" and urged for
ward by circumstances over which he haC
no control, poor John bounded on The
next moment he was in full view off the girls
and as he turned the corner of the barn, the
snake came round with whz something
after the fashion of a coach whip.
Having reached the barnyard, to his dis
may he found the bars up. But time was
too precious to be wasted in letting down
bars. Gathering up his strength he bounded
into the air, snake ditto, and as he alighted
on the other side, his snakeship's tail cracked
across the upper bar, swapping like an India
cracker.
Again John set forward, now utterly re-
gardless of the presence of the girls, for the
extra tick of the snakes tale as he leaped the
bars, banished all his bashfulness and mod
esty, and again he had the pleasure of find
ing the snake in a straight line, drawing
steadily at the hem of his solitary gar
ment.
The house now became the center of at
traction and around it he revolved with the
speed of thought Four times in each revo-
luton, as he turned the corner, his snake
ship came around with a whiz which was re-
freshng.
While describing the third circle, as he
came near the group of wonder struck girls,
without removing his gaze from the snake,
he managed to cry out
"CALL MANI"
The next moment he whisked out of sight
and quick AS thought reappeared on the
other side of the house
"CALL MAN"
And away he whirled again, turning the
corner so readily that the whiz of the snake
sounded half way between whistle and the
repeated pronunciation of double-e
Before either of the girls had stirred from
their tracks he had performed another revo-
"CALL MANI
Away he flew but his strength was rapidly
falling. Nancy Clark was the first one to
recover her presence of mind, and seizing a
hoop pole she took her station near the corner
of the house, and as John reappeared she
brought it upon the snake with force that
broke his back and his hold upon John Is
neither garment at the same time.
John rushed into the house and to his
room, and at tea time appearing in his best
Sunday suit, but little the worse for the
race, and to all appearance cured of his bash
fulness. That night he walked home with
Nancy Clark. The next New Year they
were married, and now, whenever John feels
inclined to laugh at his wfes hoop, or any
other popularity. she has only to say "Call a
man, when he Instantly sobers down.

How Boys CATCH GoPHERs. The Oakland
Transcript tells the following yarn Noticing
a couple of lads each with living gopher,
and a string tied around their hind legs, on
the outskirts of the city the other day, our
curiosity was little excited as to how the
boys caught the ANIMALS Upon inquiry,
one of them gave practical illustration by
going to gopher hole, and letting the rodent
into it, taking care to hold fast to the string
After waiting a moment violent twitching
of the string from the lower end gave ndica-
ton that some singular proceeding was going
on, and he commenced hauling in his line
Soon the captive gopher hove in sight, with
his teeth fast into the jaws of another animal
of the same species. The stranger was i'm
mediately seized by the boy, who dexterious-
ly avoided being bitten, and the new captive
was accommodated with string on his leg,
and made to do duty in assisting the boys to
trap other gophers.

PATIENT PAT.-Some years ago, in one
of our western courts, three men-an Eng
lishman, an lrshman and Scotchman, were
found guilty of murder, and sentenced to be
hanged. The judge told them they could
choose tree on which to be "strung up. u
The Scotchman promptly chose an ash tree,
and the Englishman an oak tree. "Well,
Pat, what will you be hung on?" asked the
judge. eff it plase your honor, I'd rather

AUBURN, PLACER COUNTY,
THE REAL WIFE.
BY WIN. ROSS WALLACE.

Not in Fortunes sunshine only
Does she smile upon this life,
But affections radiance ever
Proves that she's real wife:
This that is the blest sustainer,
This that makes all labor Bliss
This could nerve him to bound over,
All unfearing, an abyss.
With the husband she's co-worker;
Hope is his on land or foam,
For he knows there is an angel
To reward him in the home.
She preserves religions s casket
By the rainbowed nuptial shrine;
Thus are husband, wife and children
Canopied by the divine.
Life must bring some disappointments.
Must have some solicitude;
Business may not always sparkle
Yet no demon can intrude;
Heaven is always round about them,
True love edens the whole life,
For he has Gods sweetest blessing
On this earth-a real wife.
