''WHO MAKES YANKEEsG"

An interesting scene was Witnessed
yesterday at the court room by those
who we're so fortunate as to have bust
ness there. The court was in session,
the judge upon the bench, the lawyers
scattered around, some busy with pa
pers, and others exchanging lies in a
whisper with each other, and every
thing was quiet as the grave: 1t was
so still you could have heard a crow
bar drop. The door opened and in
walked full grown Scotchman, long,
lank, lean and hungry looking. He
stopped a moment as he entered, then
shambled down the aisle toward the
judge. His boots, as large as Juvenile
collins, fell upon the carpet with An
ominous "thud," at every step, and the
windows ratified. The judge looked
small penknives at him at first, for
making such q noise, but he paid no at
tention to the edged tools that came
from the judges eyes. Everybody in
Taking a swinging survsy OF the whole
party, he said:
"Whers's the man that makes Yam
keess" ... .-
The judge looked daggers at the man
at this point, and then looked around
for some officer 10 bring "order in the
court" The lawyers smiled, and one
in particular bursted out laughing. The
long man looked at this lawyer with
scorn, and said
"What the hill you angling at?"
This was too much for Judge Bum

Nor BAD DEscRIPTIoN.-Some years
ago, in a .Jracas which occurred not
thousand miles from Vincennes, Indi
ana, a man accidentally present was Sc
verely wounded with knife by one Of
the belligerents. Much alarm was ex-
cited, and the doctors were hastily sent
for, and enc Esculapian came EARNED
and equipped" IS he thought was ex-
actly right at any rate, he went to work
upon the case as if he was going TO do
something. Rolling up his sleeves, and
''diving into it," he said to the horror
stricken bystanders, "Bad case-incised

through the umbilicus ministary to the

anterior spinps of the attachment of the

particular friend of the poor sufferer.
He gave up and fastened out into the
fresh air to revive his fsinting faculties.
While walking up and down, painfully
and despairingly wringing his hands,
in trout of the saloon where the mis-
chief had been done, an acquaintance
came hurriedly up and said to him, EHoW

EPISODE IN THE LIFE OF A RE-
PORTER.

Some years ago, when the writer was
g reporter upon an eastern paper, it de-
viewed upon him to write for the same
edition an account of the presentation
of a gold headed cane to Rev. Dr.
Nudge, clergyman of the place, and
the description of a patent hog killing
and sausage machine which had just
been put in operation at the factory,
Now, what made Rev. DIR. Nudge mad
was this. The inconsiderate buccaneeT
who made up the forms OF the paper
got the two locals mixed up in fright
full manner, and when we went to press.
something like this was the appalling
result:
"Several of the Rev. DR.. Nudge's
friends call ed upon him yesterday, and
after q brief conversation the unsuspi-
cious hog was seized by the hind legs
and slid along . beam until he reached
the hot water tank. His friends ex-
planned the object of their visit, and
presented him with q very handsome
gold-deaded butcher, who grabbed him
by the tail, swung him around, split his
throat from ear to ear, and in less than
Q minute the carcass was in the water.
fhereupon he came forward and said
that there were times when the feelings
overpowered one, and for that reason
he would not attempt TO do more than
thank those around him for the manner
in which such . huge animal was cut
mp into fragments was simply astonish-
ing. The doctor concluded his re-
marks, when the machine seized him,
and in less time than it tSkes 70 write
it the hog was cut into fragments and
worked up into delicious sausage. The
occasion will long be remembered by
the Doctors friends as one of the most
delightful of their lives"
Mad? Well, about nine o'clock that
morning the Office had been abandoned
by every man but the advertising clerk,
and Lac assembled to the roof and robed
himself in q boiler iron, so that he
could watch the venerable clergyman
tearing around down there in the street
with his congregation, all wearing the
panOply of war and carrying butcher
knives and things. Next day we ex-
planned and 'apologized, but the doctor
stopped his subscription and began to

THANKSGIVING.

When the first thanksgiving feast was
spread under New England skies, q
frugal banquet eked out with much
godly conversation and prayer, our
forefathers, partakiDg thereof in the
spirit of edification, little guessed what
far different Thanksgivings other years
were to behold in the America of their
adoption. They little dreamed that the
day which to them was of such solemn
significance, Sabbath minus penalty
and plus good cheer, was to become
to their posterity an occasion for idle
pleasuring only, for avoidance of Gus
tomary business, for dinner unusually
profuse, and an evening of yawns and
indigestion. For this, speaking in all
honesty, is pretty much what eur mod
ern Thanksgiving has grown to be.
The religious character of the ami
versary is almost lost sight of. Ser
mons, or what purport to be sermons
are duly preached; but were Elder
Brewster to sit among the congrega-
tons, we fear he would deny that
name to those genial reviews of pro-
| gress, past, present, and future-those
diatribes on slavery, abstracts of the
| political situation, and short essays on
social science, with which our pastors
annually favor US. In the city no one

TOO GOOD TO BE LOST.

In Union League Club, the other
evening, listened to "good one" on
Tharlow Weed. 1 don't believe even
Greeley ever heard it. To-wit:
Weed had about as much system in
keeping his accounts (and his money!
as Micawber. He was little greater
man, though, and had that grain of good
sense which suggested to him the pro-
priety of placing any specific Gum of
money which he didn't want spent at
random in the hands of some financier
friend. In 1856 SGT. W." came to New
York and received $25 600 from his Re-
publican friends-$lO,OO0 for the pur-
pose Of defeating Fillmore for Presl-
dent; $4,000 for the use of the Re-
publicans in Albany, and 5000 for the
Evening Journal. For safe-keepinS he
gave the Albany Central Committee
$4,000, placed 5000 to the Journals
credit, and requested his partner (Mr.
Sinclair, believe) to place the secret
SO, 700 to be used against his old friend
Fillmore, 10 his (Sinclair's) credit in
bank, which could be drawn as required.
He did so. One fine morning Sinclair
dropped dead from heart disease. The
$4,000 stood to his personal credit
without a word of explanation. In
vain Thurlow Weed sought the ear of
The bank officers. They could do moth
ing. The executors of the estate found
the $4,000 to Mr.. Sinclair's credit.
They could not, without proof, hand It
over to Mr.. Weed or his political
friends. Thus it was swept into the
dead mans estate and into the hands OF
his fascinating widow. Not dollar

few months later they were united by

WAY CE1cAeo WALLS TrMR

WHY CHICAGO WALLS TUMBLED
DowE.-The other day q gentleman
was in the banking house of Spears,
Dugan g Co., telling of many hair
breadth escapes that men had at Chica-
go from the falling walls, and during
his conversation he made these re-
marks: ''The lime that those Chicago
houses were built with was of no &C
count, and did not form any more of q
cement than If built with clear sand"
He also said If the right kind of lime
had been used in the construction Of
those buildings, many of the walls
would be standing to-day unhurt, but
as it was, they crumbled to pieces, from
the fact that the brick were not cement
ed together, and could not Withstand
the heat. Would it not be well for Chi.
cago to look into this matter before
they commence rebuilding their city.
