An Impartial Judge.

Old Otsego county, says Utica paper, boasts Justice of the Peacs who flashes out in the annals of local fame as ar- raigning himself for delinquency. The Justice of the Peace referrt d to fro matter about his name or where he be- long>) possesses the excellent attributes of integrity, ability and worth, but on one occasion he forgot his magisterial integrity. He let down in weak mo- ment the judicial bars which should hedge him in and roamed in the field of Baccbus. In short on recent occasion he imbibed too much strong drink, and in consequence awoke with realizing sense of that fact next morning.
 Now, here was & pretty go. A Jus tice of the Peace had been on bender, or part of one. A man who was ap- pointed to swing the fail of justice over the heads of poor unfortunate fellows wandering over into the wrong pasture himself! But there 1t was. He felt re- minders of it in the occasional throbs of headache But what was to be done. The more he viewed it the more he be- came disgusted with himself. He made up his mind. He would attend to his case. He would vindicate the outraged law.
 So, at the usual hour he entered his office. He formally opened court, and then he called his own name as defend ant in suit in which 'sthe people, charged him with an offence ag inst the law, went over the circumstances in de- tail so far as he could remember them, read the ''the statute in such cases made an provided" and then asked the pris- oner what he had to say.
 In the role of prisoner he pleaded guilty of the offence, said it wasa shame for man of his years and position, but hoped "the court" would not be too St. were on him, as he was determined to reform.
 "rhe prisoner will stand up," said the stern old Justice. Then the prisoner arose.
 "Now," said the Justice, II am very sorry you have been brought into this court on charge which so seriously af fects your good name and standing il society; you have set bad example, and if yon go on at this rate you will bring sorrow and disgrace on yourself an6 family. sentence you to pay fine ot BIO md costs, or to thirty days impris oument in the county jaiI."

Marrying French NOblemen.

In a Paris letter we find few hints
which will not be very pleasant to
young American ladies who go abroad,
if not with the intention to hunt, at
least to accept a French nobleman,
should one Offer himself. By the
writer it is laid down as a pretty sure
rule that Frenchmen who sigh at the
feet of American heiresses are the re-
fuse of the home markets y for French
mothers are Doted for being good match
makers, where their daughters are con-
cerned, and secure the desirable sons
in-law for themselves. There is a set
of marrying young Frenchmen in Par
is, who have more debts than money
and more title than honor, who have
been known to go so far in their hunt
after a rich wife that they have had
spies posted at different pensions to
watch for American families with mar
riageable daughters. And case has
lately been disclosed, to be settled by
law, in which the lover had agreed
with the maaitreSse de pension, to secure
the assistance of that convene MT per-
son, to pay certain PERCENTAGE on his
wife's fortune. After the marriage the
husband was disposed to forget his
promise, but was reminded by law to
keep it. All of which must have been
very pleasant to the wife.

A Story About Senator Alcorn.

One of the carrier-boys, ANNOYED
each morning by dirty, snarling dog
On his route, bought half interest in
the brute and then shot his half. This
reminds us of Senator Alcorn's invest.
ment in a Methodist or Presbyterian
church IN the days of his early man
hood. One-third of the costs of the
church was borne by Alcorn. His
father and mother then lived with AL
corn, and they were Baptists. A Bap-
tlst preacher came along and spent a
day at Alcorn's hospitable home. The
pulpit OF the neighboring church was
unoccupied on Sunday, and Alcorn, to
crafty his parents, induced the preach
er to agree to fill it. Alcorn advertis-
ed the fact. At ten o'clock Sunday
morning the other people (Methodists
or Presbyterians), VIII held the church,
met and declared that no Baptist
should enter their pulpit. 1t was
against the rules of these Christians.
Alcorn, with his Baptist brother, came
laundering in, with most of the peo-
pie of the vicinity, white and black, a
great concourse. He was informed of
the decree Of the church people ex-
Guiding his Baptist preacher. Alcorn
grew ashy-an ashen palor overspread
his face and his black eyes blazed de-
moniacally. He rose to his feet and
said
Gentlemen, | would like for some
one of you to tell me how much of the
whole original cost of this edifce was
paid by me-"
An aged brother announced that the
Kernel had paid one-third of the
whole, but the majority rules"
Then," said Alcorn, "thoueh | am
not much of a secessionist, I'll prac.

He sent for the negro men on his
plantation hard by for a cross-cut saw

contemplated this fearful Sundays dew

Deleterious Effects of Flowers.

The odors exhaled by flowers, leaves
or fruits are productive of serious dis
orders in the human system, when con-
fined IN limited space, and especially
during the night in closed chamber.
Headache and faintness ensue, and even
asphyxia, if their action is prolonged.
In nervous persons, numbness, convul-
sions, and loss of voice pIay occur; but
the usual effect is state Of sleepiness,
with feebleness and retardation of the
action of the heart. The most delete
rious flowers are the lily, hyacinth, mar
cissus, crocus, rose, carnatioD, honey
suckle, jassamine and violet. Majendie
cites a case of death caused by bou-
quet of lilies which the sufferer, a
healthy woman, had slept with in her
bedroom. The walnut, the bay tree
and hemp are the most dangerous OF
ordinary plants in this respect.

Anecdote of Horace Greeley.

prize tomato, weighing three pounds,
which he wrapped in his red silk hand.

pocket. He then walked around for a
while, sitting on various benches, and
then riding in lumber wagon u town.
When he got to the hotel the crowd
called upon him for speech. lie went
on the porch and felt for his handker-
chief to wipe his brow. When he had
inserted his hand in his pocket a
thought seemed to strike him. He
grew red in the face; he looked mad ;
he turned away and went to his room,
to think up some suitable language in
which to express his feelings

the mule was seen by a bystander to
hold on to mans arm, while it frisked
around and shook its head like a terrier.
and endeavored to ascertain how many
times in a minute it could move its
hind legs backward, and reared and
snorted and went on generally like mad
The doctor told the man, when he came
to dress the hand, that he could prob
ably save the thumb and part of the
wrist-bone. And the man does not
know now old the mule is yet.

Origin of the Berlin Riots,

Berlin during the month of July first
started from a family who were moving.

streets, angry blows easily followed

Joined in, then few fremen came to
the rescue, that called out the police,
which looked like oppression, and called
upon all sentiments of freedom to arise
and resist it, and SO windows were
broken, doors smashed in, heads beaten
and arms broken, all because an unfor-
tunate family had to move.

The Troubles i'm Berlin.

A new employment for the Chief of
Police in Berlin is to find houses for the
working classes. His first attempt was
to issue acquisitions for a large
number of wagons. which were trans
ferred into rude dwellings for the home
less. But this was not sufficient there
still remained thousands of families
exposed to the inclemencies of the
weather without shelter. The Govern
ment, even aided by the military au-
thorities, are unable to cope with the
situation, and the wealthier classes fear
excuses. Already marauders infest
Pomerania in bands, rob the farmers
and carry away children in order to
subsequently obtain ransoms for them.
