WHAT Is A sHYsTER,
ALAwYER DEFINES THE TERM,

The St. Louis Republican was sued
some time ago by a lawyer of that
city for libel, in calling him "repre.
sentative shyster.' AS the word
"shyster" is not found in Webster's
unabridged, it became a matter OF
serious consequence to ascertain by
some means, a correct definition OF
the term. The lawyer of st. Louis
knew it only as a slang word, without
any particular meaning. In New
York and other Eastern cities it Is
sometimes used, but the meaning is
indefinite, and it seemed impossible
to ascertain correct definition for
the word. The Republican lawyers
at length sent to Chicago, and there
obtained a full and clear definition of
the word, which seemed to have orig
mated in that city. The deposition
of Thomas Dent, of Chicago, was
taken, and is ON file in the Circuit
Court. Mr.. Dent says:
"Shyster is term of reproach ap-
piled to such lawyers, or persons as
suming to be lawyers, as were sup
posed to resort mainly to the police
courts and magistrates officers to Sc
cure the escape or acquittal, by sharp
or low practice, of criminals or per-
sons held under arrest. The first re-
collection I have OF the word is that
it was used in the Chicago Democrat,
then under the editorial control of
John Wentworth, OF this city. Its
application, when so used, was to
derogate and bring into disrepute
such persons as, without the use of
legal learning or professional ability,
prevented the holding for trial or the
conviction of persons accused ofof-
fenses either against the laws of the
State or the city ordinances. The
word has had a great occurrency
since the earliest use of it in the
Democrat now within my recollection,
but it has always been used as a
term of reproach, and as indicating
one whose practices wele not only
unprofessional, or at least degrading
to the profession, but also as dis
graceful. The great occurrency of
the word has left its application here
mostly to persons trequentipg the
police courts" &c.

SONG AND STORY.
LOVE.

Love Is not made OF kisses, or OF sighs,
or clinging hands, or of the sorceries
And subtle witchrafts OF alluring eyes.
Love is not made OF broken whispers; no!
Nor OF the blushing cheek, whose answering
glow
Tells that the ear has heard the accents low.
Love is not made OF tears, nor yet OF smiles;
or Qulvering lips or Of enticing wiles;
Love Is not tempted, he himself begulles.
This is Loves language, but this is not Love.
II we know aught OF Love, how shall we dare
To say that this is Love, when well aware
That these are common things, and Love Is
rarel
As separate streams may, blending ever foh
In course united, 80, OF soul TO soul,
Love Is the union into one sweet whole.
As molten metals mingle; as chord
Swells sweet IN harmony; when Love Is loru,
Two hearts are one, as letters form word.
One heart, one mind, one soul, and one desire,
A kindred fancy. and sister flre
or Thought and passion; these can Love inspire.
This makes heaven and earth for this is Love

LoursIANA SUGAR CRoP.-The
New Orleans Picdyrme says: "The
appearance of the cane fields along
tue coast was never more encourag-
ing and cheering than at present.
Both the plant and stubble have a
remarkably healthy and vigorous ap-
pearance, and should no serious mis-
hay occur, there Is prospect OF a
large crop of sugar this season. The
very mild winter has left the seed
cane in a better condition than has

be consoled for the many mistortunes

THE WIFE OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE.

In Cincinnati they tell little story
about Mrs. Chief Justice Waite. About
a month ago, before General Grant had
broached Mr.. Waite's name to the SEN
ate-though General Hillyer says Mr..
Waite was always General Grants first
choice-but before anything was thought
of the matter by the Waites, Mrs.
Waite wrote an article on cookery for
the Cincinnati "Gazette." The article
was signed "Yankee Cook Girl.D 1t
was full of sound suggestion on the
cookery question, and repletc with
good advice to housekeepers. The ar
ticle from the "Yankee Cook Grip
arrested so much attention that finally
q rich old widower in Cincinnati wrote
to Sam Reed, the editor, that he would
be glad to give the"Yankee Cook Grip
a situation-not as a servant, but she
might preside over his household. In
fact he offered marriage. Mr.. Reed
had to answer in a paragraph that the
,"Yankee Cook Grip was not in the
market, she having got a situation in
q neighboring city. The people of
Cincinnati don't know even now that
the "Yankee Cook Girl" was Mrs.
Waite, the sensible and practical wife
of the new Chief Justice, and that her
new situation is to be the highest in
the land-chief mistress in Uncle Sans
household of law and justice.-,N. Louis

THE GRANT PARISH CASE.

Il The trial OF the Grant Parish prisoners
will commence on Monday in the
United States Circuit Court. The
names of the persons now under arrest
are: William J. Cruikshank, A. G.
Lewis, John +. Hadnot, w. ID. Irwin,
A. r. Gibbons, j. Prudhomme Lemoine,
Donas Lemoine, Clement Penn and T.
J. Hickman. With the exceptions of
Lewis and Hickman, these parties
have been in the Parish Prison since
early in November. Henry Hyams,
son of ex-Lieut. Gov. Hyams, was also
arrested, but released upon bond. The
charges against the accused. are viola
tions of the civil rights bills, and MUIR
der, incidental to such violations, al
legged to have been committed on April
18th. 1873, at the Colfax fight. Much
popular interest has been manifested in
the proceedings, both here and in the
Red River country. r'E
defense are covered by voluntary con-
tributions from sympathizers. Over
] two hundred witnesses have been sum-
moned, most of whom are residents of
Grant and adjoining parishes; and as
the trial bids fair to be a long one, the
necessary expenses of both the pros
ecution and the, defense will be very
heavy. It is originally understood
that Attorney General Field would
assist United States Attorney Beck
with in the prosecution, but the pro-
tracted and painful illness of Col. Field
will doubtless prevent his active parti-
cipatfon. Messrs. Whitaker, Ellis,
Castellanos and Bryon will defend the
parties under arrest. Judges Wood and
Durell may both occupy the bench OF
the Circuit Court during the trial.-Pic-

BANK ROBBERY AT QUINCY, ILLI
NOIS.

Great excitement was created at
Quincy, Illinois, this morning by the
discovery that the First National Bank
had been entered and the vault robbed
of about 800, 900 in currency belonging
to the bank, besides a quantity of
bonds and valuable papers, and it is
said quite an amount of special deposits.
The bank was entered lSby cutting
through the hall floor. of, the second
story, Immediately over the vault. The
burglars then made n breach through
three feet of masonry of about four
feet square. They then cut the rivets
of twenty-foot inch thick of boiler
iron with which the vault is lined, and
removing it, dos .ended into the vault.
They then charged both the money
safe and one containing bonds and
valuable papers with powder, and by
means of a small rubber hose carried a
train to the top of the safe, where a
small pistol screwed, to. an old ledger
was arranged. To set it of string
was attached to the pistol, and passed
out of a window of the second story to
the street below, aud by this means the
operators were enabled to discharge
their blasts when the streets were clear
of people. The clock in the bank was
stopped at seventeen minutes past 2
o'clock, as IS supposed by the explosion,
which must have occurred ut that time.
The door of tho safe, which was a
Dodd's burgiar-proof, was completely
wrenched from the hinges. There is
no clue whatever to the perpetrators,
but one Mccoy, recently connected
with a variety show, has been arrested
and is held on suspicion.-,Ss. Louis

WEDDING IN A GRAVEYARD.

A strange marriage ceremony was
recently witnessed in Pennsylvania
cemetery, the contracting parties being
II minister of the gospel and lady
over whom there seems to have hung
a deep veil of mystery. The bridal
party, numbering four persons, arrived
in Pittston late in the evening from
New York, and procuring the services
of driver, they were driven to Wyo-
ming Cemetery, Il short distance out OF
town. AS soon as the carriage stopped
the occupants got out and passed to the
gate, and, preceded by two gentlemen,
the quartctte moved among the tomb
bordered paths to distant part of the
cemetery. Here they halted directly
in front of q grave, at the head of
which stood white marble cross.
Presently the lady and her companion
each taking position on
opposite sides of the grave. They then
joined hands. The two who were left
took positions, one at the head and the
other at the foot of the grave, each
facing the other. At this moment the
bell of Il church tower to1Ied the hour
of midnight, and before the reverbera-
tons had died away a marriage cere-
mony had commenced above the grave
in the cemetery. The service was short
and the scene most singular and i'm
pressive. A few moments later the
four returned to the carriage and were
driven back to the place from whence
they started. The driver could give no
further information other than that one
of the gentlemen was minister of the
gospel, as was revealed from the cut of
his garments.

A HORSE WITH < LONG MEMORY.

MANY years ago Mr.. Abram Dodge,
of the town of Ipswich, Massachusetts,.
owned q beautiful horse, which was the
net of the family. He was admired by
all who knew his playfulness and good
qualifications. In the summer it was
Mr.. Dodge's habit occasionally to have a
frolic with his horse In the barnyard and
then let him out alone and he would 60
to the river, which was abont one-third
of mile distant, where he would battle,
then go to a common and roll on the
grass, then, with the freedom ofair, start
for his home. His stable was, removal
ted for him while he was gone and his
breakfast put in his crib. If he met his
master he would show some coltish
pranks, bound for the stable, pull out the
wooden pin that fastened the door with
his teeth, and rush to the Manager,
were he expected to find his food. One
night the horse was stolen from the sta
BILE. After the expiration of sixteen
years, Mr.. Dodge was at the. tavern
when a man drove up to the door.
Mr.. Dodge at once recognized his horse
and told the driver his reason for be-
lieving it his. The man told Of whom
he bought the horse, and said that he
had owned him for several years. Mr..
Dodge claimed his horse, and it was
finally agreed, if the horse would on
being taken to his old stable, go through
the habit of bathing, rolling on the grass
and pulling the pin from the stable
door, as above described, that Mr..
Dodge should have him. When the
horse was let out into his old yard, he
reviewed the premises for moment,
then started for his old bath tub, then
for his green towel on the common, then
to his old stable, pulled the wooden pin,
won for himself a good meal and his old
master his favorite horse. The facts
are vouched for by reliable old residents
of the beautiful picturesque old town,
and show conclusively the long memo.
