received with the question: What can

my wish to 90 with Mclean to Fort
LAFAYETTE, saidI desired him to give
me permit to do SO. lis that alp
most certainly will l." and picking up
a blank card. he wrote ON it in pencil:
"Allow Col. Lew. d. Campbell to
enter Fort Lafayette.

read it, and thanking him said,
GAN right. Mr.. President, as far as 1t
goes; but 1 would much prefer to have
you add one thing more" Taking the
card and reading 1t aloud, he inquired,
What more do you think necessary"
please add the words also to come
QUIT" Catching the idea he stretched
out his long legs, and leaning back in
his chair he again laughed loud enough
TO be heard all over the mansion. At
ter adding the words, which he SAID
were very important in those days, he
inquired, Lew, why did you not re-
main in the army?-you ought to be
there" 1 replied. My health failed,
and could not have lived until now in
the service; but why do you think l
should have remained" Because, "

A SPARTAN DAME.-Some time ago, a
Mrs Buckleby, who lives over in Berrien
county, Michigan, directed her son Sam
uel, lad Of fourteen years to take turn
at the churn. Now as Samuel had set
his heart on going a-lishing at the very
time, lie got his back up" and fatty
refused to agitate the cream. Tho curry
ature was promptly taken out Of his spine
by slipper, and, with tears in his eyes,
he went on duty with the dasher. Just
about half an hour had he worked the
lacteal, when, during brief absence of
his mother, his eye fell upon n plate of
ty-poison, and bright happy thought
struck him. Just before Mrs. b. came
III, lac lifted the fatal platter to his face,
and as she entered he put the poison from
his lips with the dramatic exclamation /:
There, mother, guess you won't lick
me no more" Now what did this Spar
tan dame do Did she shrek for doc
tor and fall into Mysteries ? Not much.
She simply took Samuel by the nape of
the neck. lifted him into the pantry, beat
the whites of six eggs together, and told
him to engulf the same instanter ; he re-
fusing, she called the hired girl and in a
twinkling Sam found himself outside the
a'bumen. Then Mrs. b. began prepar-
ing mustard emetic. Seeing this Sans
pluck dissolved, and he commenced beg
ging, crying " | was only trying to skeer
ye." But the stern mother was not to be
softened, and Samuel had to swallow the
mustard. lie was then forced to take
dose Of Pain-killer, and had his back
rubbed with "Vigor of Life" and his
stomach with "Oil of Gladness. D.
Then he vomited up everything but his
boots and socks. This being over he
took seven Ayers pills, two spoonfuls of
castor oil, tea-spoonful of salts and
blue pill. And now, if you want to sec
the maddest boy in Michigan, Just men
ton Ay-poison" to Sam Bucllleby.

A PRETTY Prison SToRY.-A prison
or in the Missouri Penitentiary, too weak
to work, and who had the run Of the
yard, one day asked the Warden if he
could be allowed to cultivate a small cor
ner Of the enclosure. " What do you
want to raise ?" "Cucumbers, sir.''-
" Why, you can't raise them here the
prisoners would steal them" " No, SIR"
said the man, firmly, they will not steal
one Of them" Well, go ahead" said
the Warden, " if any Of your cucumbers
are stolen, don't come to me complaining
You will never hear from me on that
score, sir" The cucumbers were plant
ed, watered, trained, and cultivated, and
an immense crop was the result. As
fast, however, as the fruit grew 1t disap-
peared, and the warden directed the man
to be watched, and finally he was detect
ed in the act of carrying his cucumbers
to the hospital and giving them to the
poor fellows who, in their sickness, cray
ed them. Not one was stolen.

A FARMER cut down n tree which
stood so near the boundary line Of his
farm that it was doubtful ifit belonged to
him or his neighbor. The neighbor, how
ever, claimed the tree, and prosecuted
the man who cut it for damages. The
case was sent from Court to Court. Time
was wasted, temper soured, and temper
lost but the case was finally gained by
the prosecutor. The last heard Of the
transaction was when the man who had
gained the cause went to the lawyers Of
fee to execute deed Of his whole farm
which he had been compelled to sell TO
pay his costs. Then, houseless and home
less, he thrust his hands into his pockets
and triumphantly exclaimed : I've

CONTEMPT OF COURT.

Mr.. Rawley walked in, and close aehis
heels stallled Bitters, Both seated them
selves the one in chair, and the other
on end, directly in front Of the Surro-
gate. Mr.. Jaeger looked at the dog with
the solemn eye of Surrogate, and shook
his head as only a Surrogate can shake
it.
g Are you the witness ?' inquired he,
Of the dogs master.
a. am, sir" replied Mr.. Rawley. 81
was subpened to testify.
What's that animal doing here ?''
demanded the Surrogate.
Nothing" replied Mr.. Rawley. "IIe
comes when / comes. He goes when !
goes"
1.-THE animal must leave the court
It's contempt Of court to bring him here, "
said Mr.. Jaeger angrily. "Remove " him
instantly"
Mr.. Rawley had frequently been in
attendance at the police court, and once
or twice had slight turn of the sessions,
so he was not so much struck with the
Surrogate as he otherwise might have
been and he replied:
" l make no opposition, sir /; and shall
not move finger to prevent it. There's
the animal and any officer as pleasei
may remove him. l say muffin ag'in it
/ knows what contempt of court is
and that amt one" And Mr. Rawley
threw himself amiably back in his chair
"Mr. Slagg ~ said the Surrogate tc
the man with a frizzled wig. Remove
the dog"
Mr.. Slagg laid down his pen, took of
his spectacles, went up to the dog, and
told him TO get out to which Bitters re-
piled by swapping at his fingers as he at
tempted to touch him. Mr.. Rawley was
staring abstractedly out of the window
The dog looked up at him for further in
structions and receiving none, supposed
that swapping at a scrivener's fingers wa
perfectly correct and resumed his pleas
ant expression toward that functionary
occasionally casting n lowering eye to
ward the Surrogate, as if deliberatinl
whether to include him in his demonstra
tions of anger.
Slagg, have you removed the dog p
said the Surrogate, who, the dog being
right under his very nose, saw that hC
had not.
"No, sir; he resists the court" replied
Mr.. Slagg.
" Call Walker to assist you," said Mr.
Jaeger.
Walker, a thin man in drabs, had an
tlcipated something Of the kind, and had
withdrawn as soon as he saw that there
was prospect Of difficulty so that the
whole court was set at defiance by tho
dog.
Witness ~ said Mr.. Jaeger.
Mr.. Rawley looked the court full il
the face.
"Will you oblige the court by remov
ing that animal ?" said Mr.. Jaggers
mildly.
" Certainly, sir" said Mr.. Rawley
" Bltters, go home" Bitters rose stinly
and went out, first casting glance at Tn,
man with the wig, for the purpose Of be
ing able to identify him on some futur,
occasion, and was soon afterwards seer
from the window walking up the street
with the most profound gravity.
