HEAVY ON FL. FA.-A well known
Judge" and sometimes "Sam,' for short,
had Teutonic client recently, who, strange
to say, lost his case A justice of the peace
had decided that the adopted citizen should
pay the bill sued on, and, after notice of
Judgment, the defendant still declined to
settle. Accordingly, in due course, the con-
stable set up his red flag before defendants
premises and the traditional African COM
menced To beat his tattoo upon big drum
to warn the public of the opportunity to
purchase the Teutonic effects. Defendant
did not duly appreciate the music, and
promised to liquidate instanter i6the infer
nal serenade could be stopped. He rushed
for the Judge" and in few minutes law
yer and client were busy in the bewildering
attempt to 'tax" the bill of costs. Every
thing on the bill proved, if not satisfactory,
at least unanswerable, until "two dollars
and fifty cents for Fl. IA" was read out to
the compatriot of Hans Breitman. "Schtop
dere, yudge! schtopw he calculated.
s'What's the matter ~ inquired the counsel.
Deere vas no viver," (ffer) firmly asserted
the client. "But there was" said the
Judge" Schlog me ON de kop~ said the
excited Dutchman, "put dere was no viver.
Dere was trummer, put no wife was plown
on my premises" The matter was gradually
eIucidated, however, and the full bill paid,
"viver" and all.
