Accidents.

Accidents will happen in the best regula-
ted families" runs the old saw, and never
WAS truer one written. The children, al
ways in mischief, constantly bruise them
selves, for example. How well Is 1t, then,
always TO have a good, reliable liniment in
the house ready for use. To all we earnestly
request a trial fthe Magic Arnica Liniment.
1t will be found always ready for use. II Is
limpid and clear, winter and summer. 1t
never becomes rancid or foul smelling. 1t Is
easily applied. Ii does not stain or grease
the clothing. II peuetrates the skin and
muscles instantly. 1t cures pain ut once. A
little goes great ways. 1t Is, in short, the
best IMMINENT to be found.

: The various mercantile agencies are

cities to look up and report business

June represents Br2dstrect's Agency in
New York, and was lately set to find if
anything was the matter with certain
Beekman street firm, paper dealers. As
Is usual IN such cases, he sought an es-
tablished house in the same line to
commence inquiries, and, as it CHANGED,
found only the senior partner in the
office, an old man of nearly four-score
years, who seemed to know all
about the firm IN question, and began
telling of their circumstances in the
year 1872, all June could do to bring
him back to the present time proving
entirely intellectual. Finally the old
man seemed electrified with an idea.

Legal Apec,iote,

Ogden Hoffman was called the
''Flute, by his brethren of the New
York bar, on account of the musical
tones of his voice. He was surpassed
even III the great advantage of sweet
voice, by Elisha Williams whose "mel-
huOus" voice was the marvel OF the
bar. His power over a jury was
astonishing, He swayed them as with
the wand of an enchanter, and very sci
dom failed to secure verdict for his
chant On one occasion he was COM
pletcly discomfitted 10y anignorant, I'M
pudent, unIettered pettifogger, who
knew no law, but somehow or another
had obtained the credit for shrewdnees,
and the reputation among his neighbors
of being hard to beat.
The case, if we remember rightly.
was an act of murder. Mr.. Williams,
of course, on the grounds of his power
over the jury, was for the defense His
peroratlon was exceedingly touching
and beautiful:
"Gentlemen of The jury" said he,
eff you can find this unhappy prisoner
at the bar guilty of the crime with
which he is charged, after the adverse
and irrefragable arguments which |
have laid before you, pronounce your
fatal verdict. Send him to lie in chains
upon his dungeon floor, waiting the
death which he is to receive at your
hands; then so to the bosom of your
families-lay your head on your pillow
-oUd steep, if yoU cam"
The effect of these closing words of
the great legal orator was at first thrill
ing; but, by and-by, a pettifogger, who
had volunteered to follow the prescott
ing attorney, arose and said:
Gentlemen of the jury: / should
despair after the sweeping speech
which has been made to you by Mr..
Williams, of saying anything to do
away with its eloquence [ never heerd
Mr.. Williams speak that piece of hls'n
better than what he spoke 1T jest now.
Onc-t | heerd him speak it in a case of
stealing, down at Schaghtiroke then
he spoke it agin case of rape, up to
Esopus; and the last time l heerd if
before jest now, was when them mig
gers was tried-and convicted, too they
was-for robbing Van Pelt's hen house.
over beyond Kingston But [ never
knowd him to speak it so elegant and
atfectin' as what he spoke it jest now ~
This was poser. The jury looked
at one another, whispered together, and
our pettlfogger saw at once that he had
got them. He stopped at once; closing
with the single remark: If you can't
see, gentlemen of the jury, that this
one speech don't answer al cases, then
there's no use of my saying anything
more
And there wasn't; he had made his
case, and they awarded him their YER
liict.

Legal Formulas.

Some idea of the Pathology of the

the following specimen, wherein if a
man wishes to give another an orange,
instead of saying, "I give you that or
ange," he must set forth his deed thus
Il give you all and singular, my estate,
and interest, right, title and claim, and
advantage of and in that orange, with
all it's rind, skin, juice, pulp, and pips,

Difficulty i'm Making Change.

GERMAN woman soon signalled the
car, and the conductor sprung the bell.
With gravity he walked up to the wo-
man after she was seated, and held out
his hand for the fare Tho German
woman gave him three-cent piece and
two pennies. The conductor put the
three-cent piece into his vest pocket,
and dropped the pennies into the side
pocket of his Overcoat. Then turning
to the lady he said
s. l want another cent madame
- gave you five cents" she re-
Piled
Ever since the Fourth Avenue
Railroad has existed the fare on this
line has been six cents" replied the
conductor, proudly.
Well, answered the woman, " |

hesitation she added, "Have YOU any

~ can change anything, madame,
from twenty-five cents to an eleven dol
lar bill, " said the conductor.
Thereupon the German lady handed
l1m fifty-cent stamp. He took the
stamp between his teeth, and counted
out handful of pennies into the wo-
mans lap. She counted them very
carefully, and looked up into his face.
Haven't you made a mistaken" she
asked.
"Just hand the pennies back here,
then, the conductor said, holding out
his double hands.
The German woman took up her
dress with one hand and Iadled out the
pennies with the other. The conductor
counted them over, and threw them
back into her lap, saying:
"That's all right-forty-four cents,
aud six for your fare is fifty. What's
the matter with you2"
Yes" returned the woman, but |
want five cents more"
:" No, you don't, he replied. "The
fare is six cents, and you've got forty
four cents i'll your lap That's all
right
" Well, give me back the five cents
that L gave you before, then, :" said the
woman, with touch Of asperity.
This apparently dumbfounded the
conductor. He remem bercd that the
woman had given him five cents. but
the thing had become so intricate he
seemed at a loss to know how to
it out.
- gave you Il three-cerft piece and
two cents, the woman said.
The conductor nodded, but rubbed
his head as though endeavorinc to
and unravel the whole
monetary mystery. His face bore a
troubled expression. Finally he got it.
=" Well" he said at last, give me
back those pennies"
The woman scOoped them into his
hands, and he dropped them into his
pocket. He then tished up the fifty
cent stamp and passed it to her, with
the words, "There, madame, there's
your fifty cents" In another second
he took three-cent piece from his vest
pocket, saying: And there's your
three-cent piece and in five seconds
more, "There's your two pennies, I
don't know whether they're the two
Identical pennies you gave NE or not,
but guess they'll do. By this time
the troubled expression had left his
countenance. Richard was himself
again.
Addressing the astonishcd woman
with great dignity, the conductor said:
y Now well begin over again. Your
fare, madame" with his hands on his
lips.
The lady laughed. and again rendered
llm the fifty-cent stamp. He pockated

Stealing Defined.

An extraordinary decision IN refel
ence to newspaper mails has recently
been made In United States Court
Judge Benedict has decided that to
steal a single newspaper from the post
Office is not crime against the statute,
which provides against the theft of
packet of newspapers, and that a
single newspaper is not "packet. !"
Thus, to steal hundre, newspapers
is not an offense, but to
take them ID a bundle is a crime.
