The Celebrated Judge Lynch.

"Mr. Bartholomew Lynch, says the
New Orleans Herald, who presides
over Kellogg's Fourth District Court,
and who has won such unenviable no.
tority in the trial of the Picayune IL
bel cases, is a son of Erin, and speaks
with broad brogue.
There is humorous as we'll as an
irascible phrase to Lynche's character
1t is related of him that not long since
a lawyer-who is also son of the
Green Isle-was arguing a somewhat
tedious case before him, when Lynch,
having satisfied himself as to the mer-
its of the case, and dreading a lengthy
speech, said quite abruptly to the yo-
luble attorney, whom we shall name
Hagan:
Mr.. Hagan, sit down sir."
The attorney, with a GOODNESS that
was refreshing, paid not the slightest
attention to the command, and proceed
with the argument.
Mr.. Hagan," said Lynch, more
pointedly, take your safe, sir."
The lawyer scarcely noticed the IN
terruption, but plunged ahead as Wig
orOusly as ever.
"Mr. Sheriff, safe Mr.. Hagan !"
The Sheriff hesitated a moment to
see if his superior was in earnest, when
suddenly the irate magistrate, with
an attempt to smother his wrath that
was palpable failure, exclaimed:
"Mr. Hagan, go on then, and after
whispering something to the clerk, he
relapsed into listening attitude, re-
manning perfectly quiet for an hour
and half, at which time, the lawyer
having exhausted the subject, and be-
ing quite exhausted, sank into chair
and saturated an extensive pocket
handkerchief with the copious per-
spiration that beaded his legal brow.
Lynch raised himself slowly in his
chair, and inquired.
Are We through, Mr.. Hagan?
Eyes, sir"
Are ye sure you'er through p
Eyes, sir, quite sure.
well, sir, - remarked Lynch, your
argument has had no more effect upon
the Court than spoonful of water on
the back of a duck. There's been

hour and more"
