A JUDICIAL JOKE. - One of our District
Judges, who is somewhat notorious for his
great knowledge of the civil law, perpetrated
this morning unwittingly very good joke,
enjoyable to outsiders, but rather hard on
parties in interest
In deciding a divorce case in which lady
with three children was plaintiff, he said:
Il am satisfied it is my duty in this case to
place the lady in the same condition as she
was before marriage" How the Judge is
going to do it remains to be seen. We cannot
conceive how the means afforded by the law
will accomplish this labor

VERY SOMMENDABLE-Ne nave ill dloIE,
observed that our street railroad companies,
without an exception, we believe, employ only
white en7-drivers, hostlers, attendants and
laborers. This is as it should be, and if this
boats hotels, and the cotton presses, it would
not be long before there would be such hegir;,
Of negroes from this city, and such healthy
change in the political atmosphere as woald
be really refreshing
1t would also be most encouraging to the
large number of poor white men with families
who are out Of employment and can find no
work, because almost every position requiring
manual labor is filled by negroes. Let our
people bear in mind that every dollar Of wages
they pay to negroes is just mch Of the
'bone and sinew" OF war they contribute to
their political enemies, and the destroyers OF
the country, and the authors of the heavy tax
alton under which they suffer. Let them not
forget that the money they pay the negro goes
to the support of negro clubs, negro conven-
tions negro papers, and for the purchase Of
arms to be used against the white employers.
Let them remember that they are warming
into life a serpent that will only turn upon its
benefactor and sting him to death. Beware
then Of so dangerous course-change it i'm
mediately and make glad the hearts of white
men by giving them employment, and when
election day comes you will find them voting
with you and for your interests, and not like
the negro, who labors by day for his wages
and by night plots the ruin and acts with men
who rob the people and ruin the country

REMOVAL OF THE REMAINS OF Coz. THEo.
OHARA.-We learn from Gen. Tom Taylor
who is now on visit to our city, that he has
just received from the Governor of Kentucky
commission to remove the remains of Col.
Theo. OHara, which now rest in Columbus,
Ga. to Frankfort, Ky. 1t will be remembered
that the Kentucky Legislature some time
since passed an act providing for the removal
of this distinguished scholar, poet and soldier,
who died just after the close Of the war.
Col. O'Hara served ON the staff of Gen.
Albert Sydney Johnston, and was with him at
the time Of his death During the absence Of
Col. John Forsyth, as minister to Mexico, the
Mobile Register was conducted by him, and
his graceful and trenchant pen was every
where recognized His beautiful poem, the
Bivouac of the Dead, gave him national
reputation as poet. Col. O'Hara was also a
gallant soldier in the Mexican war.
By the generous and grateful recollection OF
his State the remains of the distinguished son
of Kentucky will rest in the bosom of her own
soil.

The Iron Lance Of Martinique.

The bape of the beautiful Island of
Martinique is a serpsnt called the ''irOn
lance" This reptile, with venomous
taste, chooses the coolest and most de-
lightful places in the garden for his
retreat, and it is literally at the risk of
ones life that one lies down on the
grass, or even takes rest in an arbor.
The wounds inflicted by these serpents
are very apt to be fatal unless immedi-
ately cared for. The whole island is
infested with this dangerous reptile,
and 1t is said that on an average nearly
eight hundred persons are bitten every
year, of which number from sixty to
seventy cases prove fatal, while many
others result in nervous diseases which
are almost as bad as death. A few
years ago, when Prince Arthur of Eng
land visited this island, a grand .tete
was given in his honor in the Jardin
des Plantes. In the evening the grounds
were beautifully illuminated, and thou
sands of people sauntered through its
cool and shady avenues. \ large num-
Der were bitten by the iron lance, ="
and many of them never recovered from
the effects of the poison. The fondness
of this terrible reptile for cool and
shady places is a serious drawback on
the pleasure of rambling through the
charming groves of Martinique. A rest
on the grass under the shadow of some
spreading tree is always haunted by the
dread of some unseen dangers, and one
cannot even cross field without exer.
cising extreme caution.

4 Word for the Boys.

was always used to boys and their
rough ways, for all my cousins and
other connexions invariably were boys.
Consequently, when Grandma is at her
wits end when Grandpa glowers over
his spectacles at " the little rascals y
when Bridget fumes and frets at the
muddy feet and endless doorslamming
when even Papa RACES over the lost
shovel, &C., &C., L take things very
coolly. And, between you and i, if |
didn't, should have been dead long
ago. And 1 have made up my mind to
this : "Boys will be boys" as long as
this world endures, and there is no use
in forever fretting and talking and
scolding. 1t does no good, but, on the
contrary, does do harm. 1 do not like
my carpets and furniture spoiled do
not like this running in and out in
winter time to warm hands and feet,
thus leaving in the cold air. don't
like it but, at the same time, what can
/ do about it If you know anything of
boys, you know that they cannot sit
still two minutes in succession. And
then to get rid of them awhile, we're
glad to let them go out. Then they
are not out any time scarcely ere the
spirit of contrariness tells them how
nice and warm it is in the house. and
in they come again. So it is perpetual
motion, perpetual noise, perpetual mis-
chief, till blessed night brings rest for
the poor mother, as well as for the
boys. Troublesome 1 should think
Sc And yet 1 pity the little fellows.
How they are hustled around and
snubbed. What black looks, what short
answers they get. They are not wanted
in the parlor, and Bridget aDon,t have
them in the kitchen. 1t really seems
as if there was no room for the boys
anywhere. Solemn mnrespectability frowns
at the peccadillos of his neighbor's boys,
as tb-gh his own had received di-
ploma for righteousness-(which every
body else knows they haven't, and 1 for
one, don't expect either his or mine to

soon sit down by bear as boy, but
some day comes in a married lady who
has neither boys or girls of her own,
but her big warm heart takes in all
those of her neighbors. She sympa
thizes with your perpiexities and trou-
bles. and after having made both you
and your boys fall in love with her, ends
her visit. But it hasn't been in vain.
In thought you follow her home. You
see her handsome carpets, her polished
furniture and spotless cleanliness oi

your own surroundings. Above all, OIL

Miscellany
Australian Floods.

Floods generally follow droughts. On
the coast, the more mountainous the
country the more rarely are these ex-
tremes felt /; but no part of the country
is free from their visits. 1t is i'll the
interior, however, that they have their
home, and from that stronghold the
forces which call the floods forth rule
supreme, their power declining as they
approach that of the ocean. Here, IN
the depression of the great plain, there
is most probably only one long drought,
or one long wet season ; no seasons OF a
year, but years of a season. Wet sea-
sons, like droughts, may last years for
the seas of shallow water, the innumer-
able lakes and marshes which some eX-
plorers in wet seasons have found north
of Lake Eyre, may be years in eyapor-
eting, as frequent condensation must
take place by the cold southern winds.
And this milder inland climate Will tend
to mollify that of neighboring regions.
But these two extremes are overpower-
ing; they make that interior almost
uninhabitable, and they rule the char
aeter of the country, the produce, the
people, and the history of the land.
The desolation of drought is not
less complete than that of a flood, and
it perhaps has more effect upon the
survivors. For years these droughts
gather in force; they multiply their
action before they are broken by the
foods, and their termination is in a
melancholy, awful landscape. For days
and months the earth has been hot,
parched, and cracked; for months the
waters have ceased to flow, the trees
have lived, but not grown, and the sky
has been cloudless. The neyer-green
forest is browner, sadder, and still, in
the oppressive air >; the plains are bare
and dusty; the watering places filled
with dead and the whole scene quiyers
before the eye by the great radiation OF
ITS heat. Daily the sun rises IN haZy
sky, sails in a white heat through a
cloudless course, and sets, a round, red
ball of fire, on the edge of a copper
dome. A sullen, dewless night follows
the dreaded day. The leaves of the
forest, and the surviving grass OF the
field, glisten like blades of steel IN the
glare of the mighty sun there Is no
green thing, nor sound of life from bird
or beast, or tree. in the great MONDAY

Syu5Oiical Gems.

The following symbolizatiOn OF the
twelve stones mentioned in the Book of
Revelations as forming the foundation
of the wall of the New Jerusalem Will
furnish hint to gift-seekers First,
jasper, the crimson, the color of passion,
suffering; then the sapphire, truth and
calm beyond, chalcedOny for purity ;
next the emerald, the hope of glory.
The fifth stone, the sardonyx, is the
ningling and alternating OF these-the
tenderness and the pain and the puri-
flying. The sardius represents the tri-
umphant love, containing and over
whelming all passion ; the central type
crowning the human, underlying the
heavenly. Then the tints grow clear
and spiritual chrysolite, gold n-green,
touched with a glory manifest; the
blending of rarer and serener blue,
the wonderful sea-pure beryl then the
sun-filled glory Of the topaz and chrys-
oprase, where flame and azure find each
other-the Joy of the Lord and the
peace 5hich passeth understanding.
In the end, the iacinth, purple, and
pure amethyst, into which the rainbow
refnes itself at last, limiting at the far
distance of inefable things.

4 Lest Note.

An extraordinary affair happened
about the year 1740. One of the Direc-
tors, a very rich man, had occasion for
ESQ, ,000 Of the Bank of England, which
he was TO pay as the price of an estate
ne had Just bought. To facilitate the
matter he carried the sum with him to
the bank, and obtained for it a bank
note. On his return home he was sud
denly called out upon particular busi-
ness he threw the note careiessly on
the chimney, but when he came back e
few minutes afterward, TO lock it up, 1t
vas not to be found. No one had en-
tered the room; he could not, therefore,
suspect any person. At last, after much
Intellectual search, he was persuaded
that il had fallen from the chimney into
the FIRE. The Director went to ac4uaint
his colleagues with the misfortune that
had happened TO him; and as he was
known TO be perfectly honorable man,
he was readily believed. 1t was only
about twenty-four hours from the time
that he had deposited the money; they
thought, therefore, that it would be
hard TO refuse this request for a second
bill. He received it upon giving an
obligation to restore the first bill, If it
should ever be found, or pay the money
himself, if it should be presented by
any stranger. About thirty years after
ward (the Director having long been
dead, and his heirs in possession OF his
fortune), an unknown person presented
the lost bill at the bank, and demanded
payment. 1t vas in vain that they
mentioned to this person the transac-
ton by which that bill was annulled /;
he would not listen to it. He maintained
that it came to him from abroad, and
insisted upon immediate payment. The
note was payable to bearer, and the
5000 were paid him. The heirs of
the Director would not listen to any
demands of restitution, and the bank
was obliged to sustain the loss. 1t was
discovered afterward that an architect
having purchased the Directors house,
taking it down, in order to build an
other upon the same spot, had found
the note in a crevice of the chimney,
and made his discovery an engine for
robbing the bank.-Old and NeV.
