A correspondent in Brazil gives a
shiyering description of the kind of pets
they have in that country. He says It is
quite convenience to have anacondas
in the cellars to destroy rats and mice.
People do not generally have the largest
sized snakes for that purpose; they are
only from ten to twenty feet long, and
are seldom seen, as they live in the walls
Of the cellars, which are very little used
They are carried about the street and
sold to those who have lost their pet rep
tile, or whoever may have chance to
need them. Monkeys, generally OF
smaller sizes, are kept as pets in the
houses, but to prevent their mischief
they are necessarily chained During
the prevalence of yellow fever the sum.
mer past, the contagion was more fatal
to them than to the families in which
they were kept.

"Them's my sentiments" says Susan.

man, replacing his watch in his vest
pocket, and firing of the two horse-pis-
tolls in the air. Lets go home and say
no more about it.
They went home. Susan was mar

woman, and the lives of nine innocent
young children, by an act Of severe but
practical wisdom and virtue; the which
is commended to all seekers after suicide.

ANECDOTES OF JUDGES.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..


A writer in London Society tells some
good stories of English Judges, among
them the following
Baron Anderson, learned, gentle and
good, could make puns and had much
drollery. A juryman once said that he
was deaf in one ear. We'll, then,
said Anderson, You may leave the box,
for it is necessary that jurymep should
hear both sides"
After Lord Mansfield had retired he
delighted to talk over every important
case of the day with certain barrister,
who became a great Judge. Lord Mans
field was very kind to the bar. When
his court sat very late on one occasion,
he addressed the counsel: Gentlemen,
as you have lost your dinners you had
better come and dine with me" Judges
are very good in asking young barristers
of their acquaintance to dinner, but such
bonhommie as Lord Mansfeld's it would
be hard to find now.
There AAs o little stir one day in Lin
coins Inn, when a Vice-Chancellor re
quested a gentleman who had strolled
into the court to come up and take a
seat upon the bench At least, he told
the registrar to bear the message, who
was disgusted at what he considered an
unofficial proceeding. The stranger SO
deservedly honored was Macaulay
The judges can tell odd stories Of go
ing circuits. The functionaries, and
sometimes even the prisoners are much
disgusted if, instead of Westminster
Judge, they have to deal with some coun-
sci whose name has been included in the
Commission. A prisoner for murder
was greatly annoyed because he had to
be tried by "jonrneyman judge. A
sheriff once told judge that they had
been often jobbed off with sargeants,
instead of judges in those parts, and
was he really bona fde judge| Having
had his mind satisfied on this point, the
sheriff gracefully took his place by the
Judge on the back seat, but was politely
informed by the judge that etiquette re-
quired that he should sit opposite. Once
Judge told Mayor that he presided
over an ancient city. Yes, my lord,
was the answer, "it always was an an
cient city. We expect that it was the
same gentleman who expressed a hope

The Reeves-Johnson Homicide.

Some days since an account appeared
in the LEDGER concerning the fatal
shooting Of a negro, Dick Johnson, by
an ex-policeman, Nat Reeves. Reeves
surrendered himself day or two ago,
and was discharged by Esquire Miller
yesterday. It is worthy of remark that
the Coroner. who examined sixteen
witnesses, and which witnesses made
out a strong case of murder against
Reeves, was not summoned to at
tend the examination yesterday, nor
were the witnesses. There being no
witnesses present to testify, Esquire
Miller felt bound to discharge the pris-
oner. Last evening Coroner Moffatt
went before Esquire Moore and served
ont warrant against Reeves in order
that these sixteen witnesses could be ex-
amined on the questions Of self-defense
and murder. There are many circum-
stances connected with the case that do
not present a very pleasant aspect, and
it is due to Reeves, as well as the dead
negro, that the matter should receive
full and thorough judicial investigation.
1t is very unsatisfactory to law-abiding
citizens that a case of homicide should
be disposed Of by Diminishing the charge
on motion of defendants counsel. IL
the case was one of self-defense, let it
appear so from the proof; if not, let the
guilty party be punished. Coroner
Mofatt has been, and is at present,
ready to produce the witnesses in court.
Up to twelve o'clock to-day Reeves had
not been arrested by the officer having
possession of the warrant. Let the in
vestigation take place, be the result the
acquittal or CONVICTION of the defendant.
