GOVERNOR RoBINsoN,ss PoLITENEss. ~
The Kentucky Peops gets off the following
anecdote on Governor james +. Robinson
and Judge Duvall, which has been long cur
rent in the circle Of theirF friends, but, We
believe, has never been print before:
The Governor is relic Of the old regime
of Virginia gentlemen stately, courteous,
and punctilious in exercising the rights Of
hospitality. One day hehad invited Judge
Duvall to ride with him. Arrived ut toll
gate, the Judge was about to pay the toll,
when Governor, Robinson interposed, say
ing: "Duyall, I have been trying for years
to make gentleman Of you but have not
succeeded When gentleman asks you to
ride he does not ex-ect you to pay expen-
ses." At this scrio comic address from his
old friend the Judge laughed quietly, and
returned his pocket-book to its place A
part of their route lay through farms, with
several gates to open. Reaching the first
gate, Duvall sat still, while the Governor
waited for him to descend and open the gate.
After waiting a minute, during which reith-
er spoke word, Duvall said, with merry
chuckle in his voice: Il would get down
and open that gate, but suppose when one
is asked by a gentleman to take ride he is
not expected to work his way" The Gov
ernor silently and solemnly descended and
opened the gate.
About the most ludicrous incident that
we remember occurred the other day in an
ordinarily solemn village in the COW coun-
ties A worthy matron, who had been ab.
sent looking after a vagrom cow, returned
home, and pushing against the door, found
it obstructed by some heavy substance, which,
upon examination, proved to be her hus-
band. IIe had been slaughtered by some
rowing Joker. who had wrought upon him
with a pick-handle. To one of his ears was
pinned scrap of greasy paper, upon which
were scrambled the following sentiments in
pencil tracks: ''The inquloscd boddyis that
NV old Bunker. Step litely, stranger, fer
yer lie the mortil part Nv wat you mus be
sum da. sThers arrest for the wecry! II

ner wuddcnta he'd to sit Oh him. Ov setch
is the kingdum of hcvunl You don't want
to moov this boldly till i'm summons to hold
a inquest. Orl flesh are gras ?" The ri:
diculous part Of the story is that the lady did
not wait to summon the coroner, but took
charge of the remains herself; and in dragging
them toward the bed she exploded into hel
face shotgun, which had been cunningly
contrived to discharge by string connected
with the body Thus was she punished tor
an infraction of the law The next day the
particulars were told us by tho facetious cor
oner himself, whose jury had just rendered
a verdict of accidental drowning in botf
cases. We do not know when We have ell
