Pale, and trembling with excitement
scarcely knowing whether he was il

finally stood up, in. spite of all my eff.
forts to have him retain his seat, while
the court, in illy-suppressed rage, thus
addressed him:

jury ov yer country and found not gull

a triumphant glance at me.)
The sintence ov the cOOrt is, that We

Springing to my feet, | hastily moved
the discharge of the prisoner, at the

an action of false Imprisonment if he
presumed to detain my client. The
threat was rendered Of no avail, for
Jimmy assured the sheriff that such an
action brought in Jimmy Sloan's
coort wouldn't sthand ez long ez he was
lightin' his pipe, and he might rest azy
ON that score.n
But why rehearse the many argu-
ments that were used before finally

client. 1t was a hard fought battle,
which was obliged to win over and
over again, for Jimmy was like our
gallant old Taylor in Mexico, he didn't
know when he was whipped, or how to
stay whipped. Through the interven-
ton Of the prosecuting attorney mat
ters were finally adjusted, and the
court, lawyers, prisoner and spectators,
all adjourned to the grocery to part
friends; but the experiences Of that day
in Jimmy Sloan's' Coort" were never
forgotten by Jimmy, whe, many times
thereafter caused me to remember with
regret the victory that once gained by
wearing tight Overcoat and attempt
ing to remove it in the courtroom.
Although it was my fortune to appear
many times afterward in Jimmy Sfoan's
court, | never succeeded in gaining
another victory before him. / regarded
this as an offset to the many dishearten-
ing defeats that I sustained through his
rulings, and pm sure that my readers

it into his head to visit our schools and
see how they compared with those ur

private school by mistake, and appear

he saw. At last the teacher seated her
self at a piano, and began to play, while
the scholars at once began to go through

INSECT RAVA0Es.-The usual reports
of grasshoppeF and beetle ravages are
appearing, and an investigation a. To
their source Is being made. The grass
hoppers that infest the western prairies
are found to also appear in vast numbers
on the South American pampas Of the
Argentine Confederation, and this has
given rise to theories Of their migration
as the seasons change, from one locality
60 the other. The Colorado beetle, ap-
pearing originally in the Rocky Noun
tain region. has been moving for years
in a gradual eastward migration. In
1859 il had advanced to Omaha, and two
years later entering Iowa, it crossed the
Mississippi in 1865, and IN 1870 had got
to Canada and the New England States.
Scientists who have examined the sub
jecled say that the migration Of she
beetle across the Atlantic ia merely
