An Arkansas Jury.

They have done and do many
queer things down in Arkansas. il
seems that the reputation of the
State for eccentricity is cherished
as matter of pride. A brilliant
instance of this popularity lately
took place near Biinkley Station,
on the Memphis and Little Rock
Railroad. The train had stopped
to wood, and the passengers all got
out on the platform to while away
the time. One of them, named
John Brady, had more serious bus
mess on his hands than killing time.
He stepped up to another, named
Clifford, and saying "your time has
come" commenced emptying his
revolver into his victims body. Cliff
ford could not stand it, and fell
dead among the passengers. Bra
dy gave himself up.
A coroner's jury was speedily
summoned, and an investigation
took place, while the train delayed
in order not to carry off the wit
nesses. Brady made a statement,
telling the gentlemen and ladies
"that no one could regret the affair
more than he, but one of them had
to go, and he preferred to stay and
see his family again. He hoped he
would never be forced to do such a
thing again, and rested the justice
of his case with the eoroner's jury"
That body acquitted Brady on the
ground of justifiable homicide, and
advised him to be more careful in
the future. They objected chiefly
to his shooting man among so
many passengers. 1t was danger
Gus, and might lead to fatal errors
and other unpleasant results. The
the train and jury and Brady and
the other passengers went on and
left the corpse to take care of it

What Constitutes "a Gentleman,

"Halloo! you man with pail
and frock" said q British officer, as
he brought his fiery horse to a stand
in front of Governor Chittenden's
dwelling; "can you inform me
whether his Honor, the Governor
of Vermont, resides here! 2"
"He does," was the response of
the man, still vending his way to
the pig sty.
"Is his honor at home ?" continu-
ed the man of spurs.
"Most certainly" replied the
man Of the frock.
"Tal<e my horse 10y the bit then,"
said the officer; II have business
to transact with your MASTER
Without a second bidding the
man did as requested, and the Off
Ger, having alighted, made his way
to the door, and gave several hear
ty raps with his whip; for, be it
known, in those days of republican
simplicity, knockers and bells, like
servants, were in but little use.
The good dame answered the
summons, and having seated him
and ascertained his desire to see the
Governor, she departed to inform
her husband of the guests arrival !;
but on ascertaining that the officer
had made a hitching post of her
husband, she returned and inform
cd him that the Governor was en-
gagged in the yard, and could not
very well wait upon him and his
horse at the same time.
The predicament Of the officer
can better be imagined than de-

A Sacramento telegraph Office is
Kidding itself of loafers. The Bee
says: "a box running the full
length of the front of the office ON
the outside has heretofore furnished
a tempting seat for the habitues.--
This has been covered with zine,
which has been connected with the
batteries that are contained in the
box. A person sitting upon the
box without touching his hands
thereto will not feel the electricity,
but if his hands drop on the box,
or he puts them thereon to assist
him in rising, he receives such q
sudden and astonishing shock as
sends him an unbelievable num-
ber of feet toward the lofty roof and
adjacent river. Any good day q
person may see some of these un-
fortunates Unexpectedly struck
with this domesticated lightning,
describing fifty feet parabola in
the air" Wv

BOggs' Gardening.
BY THE FAT CONTRIBUTOR.

We have recently moved into {
house that has front yard. We
have always lived in houses whose
front yard was the street; children
will play in the yard whether there
is street running through it or not
After two or three of them had
barely escaped being run over by
the teams that insisted on running
through our front yard, wife said
we must rent house that hadn't
any street to it. SO we did. But
Lord! the children don't make any
account of it. They are in the
street as much as ever, accumulate
ing their daily supply Of narrow
escapes.
Wife said the yard looked bare
without shrubs, flowers and vines.
| limited that little grass would
help it, too. She asked me if |
knew where could get some, and
| told her / knew little grass-wid-
ow on the next street, if she would
do. l rctreated, followed by the
rolling pin.
One morning, as ! was going
away, my wife asked me to bring
her u few "annuals" when / came
back. wondered what she want
ed of ANIMALS as l rode down town
in street ear, but | am accustomed
to blind obedience to her requests,
so when | went home at night, l
brought her some ANNALS. There
was DR.. Jayne's Medical Almanac,

Annual Offering, and New Years
Address for 1862, and the Birth
Day Gift, and numerous annual ad-
dresses before agricultural associa-
tions that had accumulated on my
hands. Ns
"Good gracious Y exclaimed Mrs.
Boggs (she never swears that way
unless under great excitement),
"what have you brought me Z"
p "Annuals, Mrs. Boggs," said II
"You said you wanted ANIMALS, and
here they are"
Then Mrs. Boggs burst out laugh
ing and said:
"Why, you old fool, you've

but Mrs. Boggs calls me pet names
yet--"the ANIMALS meant are flow
ers, such as verbenas, pansies, dai-
sizes, morning glories, mignionette,

yard
Then she took all the ANIMALS /

and set them out in the back yard

ly, "are the things for your front

as | thrust two-gallon jug upon
her, among other things.
"Bourbon, my dear. l found it

to set out in the front yard, though.

barbara Fritcliic.


Up from the meadows rich with corn,
Clear in the cool September morn,
The clus tered spires Of Frederick stand
Grcen-walled.b by the hills of Maryland.
Round about them orchards sweep,
Apple and peach tree frui'ed deep,
Fair rs tho garden OF the Lord
TO the eyes of the famlshed rebel horde,
On that pleasant morn of the early fall
When Lee marched over the mountain-wall-
Over the mountain winding down,
Horse and foot, into Frederick town.
Forty flags with their silver stars,
Forty flags with their crimson bars,
Flapped in the morning wind the sum
OF noon looked down and saw not one.
Up rose Barbara Fritchie then,
Bowed with her four score years and TOM
Dravest of all in Frederick town,
She took up the flag the men hauled down;
In her attic window the staff she set,
To show that one heart was loyal yet
Up the street came the rebel tread,
Stoncwall jackson riding ahead.
Under his slouched hat, left and right,
He glanced tho old flag met his sight.
"IIalt !"-thc dust-irown ranks stood fast
"Firc !"-out ,blazed the rifle blast.
II shivercd the window, pane and sash;
1t rent the banner with scam and cash.
Quick as il fell, from the broken staff
Dame Barbara snatched the silkcn scarf
She leaned far out on the window-still,
And shook it forth with royal will.
"Shoot, if you must, this old gray head,
But spare your countrys flag" she said.
~ shade OF sadness, blush Of shame,
Over the faee of the leader came;
The nObler nature within linn stirred
To life at that woman's deed and word:
"Who touches hair OF yon gray head
Dies like dogl March on ~ he said.
All day long through Frederick street
Sounded the tread of marching fcet
All day long that free flag tost
Over the heads Of the rebel host.
Ever It's torn folds rose and tell
On the loyal winds that loved it we'll;
And through the hill-gaps sunset light
Shone over it with II warm goodnight.
Barbara Fritchies work Is DER,
And the rebel rides on his raids no more.
Honor to her! and let II tear
Fall for her sake on Stonewall's bier.
Over Barbara Fritchie's grave
Flag of Freedom and Union wave!
Peace and order and beauty draw
Round thy symbol of Il sht and law
And ever the stars above look down
On thy stars below in Frederick town.
