New-York tribune., 1874-10-24

Whatever may be the merits of the case,
there is something very suggestive OF the
whirigig of time and its revenges in the suit
against Howe and Hummel, criminal lawyers,
to have them debarred from practice. The
private and personal affairs and history OF
one of the defendants are dragged into court
after the edifying manner of criminal SUITS
and both sides throw pitch at each other with
great heartiness. The sensations OF party TO
such case must be quite different from those
that have been experienced as counsel.
New-York tribune., 1874-10-24

When Mr.. MantilnI having been arrested for
debt was writhing in agony on the carpet, he was
told that the amount due SO many pounds, SO
many shillings, and six pence" The six pence
be dem'd ~ said Mr.. Mantini and, no doubt, he OK
perenced great relief from the improper observa-
ton. We are reminded of this by reading one Of
Kello9g's Louisiana tax notices, sent to firm in
New-Orleans. 1t was a summons to pay State tax.

State special. parish school tax, and Kearney tax
with philosophical frmness; but when they came to

and say, The 25 cents be dem'di"

Words Of Wisdom,


Diligence is the mother of good
fortune.
Don't cross the bridge till you
come to it.
No man is free who does not
command himself.
The tongue-the latch kew that
lets ont the mind.
Revenge converts IA little right
into a great wrong.
Books, like friends, should be
well used, not abused.
lie who blackens others does
not whiten himself.
The fate of the child is always
the work of his mother.
1t folly were pain, there would
be crying in every house.
Nothing more precious than
time, yet nothing less valued.
Plant the crab-tree where you
will, it will not bear pippins.
Plain-Dea'ing is a jewel; but they
that wear it are out of fashion.
