The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, D.T. [N.D.]) 1873-1875, 1874-07-29

The value of lawyers jaw has lately
been decided by French court. A
young lawyer was paying his addresses
to young lady much above his station
in life, and she favored his suit against
the positive commands Of her family and
her friends. She had clandestine meet
ings with him and wrote him loving let
ters, and seemed in good solid earnest.
At least she made him believe so, and
he went to her grandfather's chateau
one day in desperation, got an interview
with his lady-love and tried to persuade
her to elope with him then and there.
She shrank from this rash step, and
pleaded her minority, and he became so
importunate as to offend her. She de-
manded the return Of her letters, and
her lover refused to make such restitu-
ton. At this point, her grandfather
surprised the meeting, and mixed in the
controversy. He had been out shoot
ing, and had his double barrel gun in
his hands. He demanded the letters
to which he had overheard reference
between the two, and the lawyer gave
the old man some Of his. jaw. The in
furiated Frenchman fired both barrels
of his fowling-piece in the lawyers face,
and carried away his whole lower jaw.
That closed the argument for the time,
but it came up again in court. The
lawyers jaw was brought into court and
placed on table before judge and jury
as a witness. The yonng lady was
there in a position to gaze upbn the
ruin she had made, and shesdid it with
out finch,ng. The other lawyers jawed
as usual, and the young lover minus the
whole lower part Of his face, was not an
object to be admired. The jury acc

4 Singular Adventure.
A correspondent of the London Z

A correspondent of the London Times,
writing from Copenhagen says:
A Norwegian paper is relating tale Of an
almost miraculous preservation. The cap
tain Of the schooner Amazon, of Stavanger,
recently arrived at Bergen with cargo Of
salt, reports that in passing the British
channel he had the opportunity OF saving q
British lad, fifteen years old, under very
peculiar circumstances. The Amazon was
about twelve geographical miles from the
British shore, when the captain thought he
observed through his telescope something
floating on the sea. He altered his course so
as to get nearer, and soon discovered that it
was a small boat, in which q lad was lying
fast asleep The shouting from the schooner
did not awaken him, but when small log
was thrown over into the boat he awoke
with sudden start; an end Of line was
thrown TO him, and he was just able to
fasten it when he swOOned, and had to be
carried on board the vessel. In the boat
nothing was found but a pair Of oars and a
Bible. The lad, when brought back to life
and strength by the tender care shown to
him, gave the following account of his fate:
He was sitting on shore, reading his Bible,
when some OF his companions came down to
him and teased him the manner in which he
spent his leisure time. To escape from their
banter he got into boat, and kept on read
ing, when suddenly he discovered to his
great dismay, that his prosecutors had cut
the line and left the frail boat to the power
of the undermining ebb. He tried to use
the oars, but struggled in vain against wind
and water. and, rs q dense fog set in, he
soon lost sight OF land. After several hours

II may be interesting to state that as long as
there was grading offered the boys to do
about the ground, Glennop, at the first
hours IN the morning, was over from
Alameda, about seven miles distant, with
his sleeves rolled up and with pick and
shovel ID hand, trying to earn his twenty
cents an hour alongside the hrawny labor
ers. But the most remarkable part was that
when the bell tapped for recitation in
mathematics he was promptly in his place
with perfect recitation. 1t is considered
remarkable if q student can get through a
term perfect in either recitation or examin-
alton, and but one or two in class of sixty
or seventy ever do this: but Glennon gen
orally came on perfect in both, and often,
when tie whole section failed or a ditf;cult

Corn Acc!imated In EnRland.

About hundred years ago Indian corn
was introduced into England With the ex-
pectation that it would furnish the bread
about the supply Of which the fast increas-
ing population was getting nervous. That
country must then have been experiencing
a cycle of hot summers, for the corn rlpened
sill right for three years in succession. In
the fourth year it was largely planted, but
failed to mature. The attempt to grow
corn was then abandoned, it being clear
that the summer heat was not great enough.
while the liability to June frosts. similar to
those OF this year. was alone enough to
make the attempt hopeless.
The English papers now state that VIII.
liam CObbett, son OF the famous Liberal
agitator, has successfully acclimated corn
at Hounslow, near London, where he has
three acres growing which have withstood
the severe frosts of last June. and are now
very promising. If our English cousins
have really got frost proof corn. it Will Dc
as valuable to us as to them. We look with
interest for further particulars.

who has lived about fourteen wicked years,
enticed his younger brother, who has had
only ten years experience in boyish trick

eies of pastime which their father had many
a time forbidden. But the boys went
this time. trusting to luck to con-
ceal their depravity from the knowledge of
their pa, and in due time they returned and
walked around the house, the two most in
nocent looking boys in Burlington. They
separated for few moments, and at the
expiration of that time the elder was sud-
denly confronted by the father who re-
quested a private interview in the usual
place, and the pair adjourned to the wood
shed, where, after brief but highly spr
tied performance; in which the boy ap-
peared most successfully as "heavy villain"
and his father took his favorite role OF
first old man. the boy. considerably mys
