A well-known Judge of the Supreme
Court of New York, often relieved his
judicial remarks with touch of humor.
One day, during the trial of case,
Mr.. Gum was witness ON the stand and,
as he hesitated good deal, and seemed
unwilling. after much persistent question
ing to tell what he knew, the judge said
to him, Come, Mr.. Gum, don't hang
fire. After the examination had closed
the bar was convulsed by the judge ad
ding, Mr.. Gum you can go of-yot

A SINGULAR DIsEAsE.-The death of
George Colt, an announcement of which
will be found elsewhere, was case of
peculiar interest. He had been afflicted
with fever sores on his right leg and hip
for fourteen years, and was at times a
great sufferer. A few weeks previous to
his death he recovered sufficiently to be
able to 90 about some; but taking cold |
was attacked with vomiting and severe
pain in his leg. His physician was called
and found it necessary to make missions
in his leg which was swelled badly from
the foot to the body. 1t discharged free
ly, but soon began to mortify, and ter
minated in his death in fortyeight hours.
The second day after the physician per-
formed the operation he discovered the
left side of his own face and eye swelling
and growing sore and very painful, ap-
. pearing like the swelling on Colts leg.
i He soon after was called to see the
r father of the deceased, and found him
e with leg that resembled his sons being
9 swollen very badly up to the body. He
# found it necessary to make an incission,
E. aud did so as near the body as possible,
re as deep as the bone. 1t discharged very
q freely. He also found Mrs. Colt, the
m mother Of the deceased, with painful
% swelling extending from the shoulder up
m the side of her face and around her neck
ne which resembled the appearance and
ID complexion of Mr.. Colts leg; and tn,
On daughter had sore on her arm, as sh,
K. said, where she washed her brother
he clothes. The hired mans neck and fore
ay head we're swollen, and resembled th'
is appearance of the others. Under hi
ell treatment they are all now doing vel

A Spoon PERFoRMANCE.-Ac orre-
spondent of the Windsor Journal has
the following: A very singular occur
renee happened, recently, in the family
of Mr.. Stephen Bailey, residing on the
twenty mile stream" about two miles
from Proctorsville. 1t was this: Mrs.
Bailey brought pan of milk from the
pantry into the kitchen to skim it. She
used spoon to take the cream from
the milk, putting the cream into another
dish. After skimming the milk she
laid the spoon bottom side up in the
dish of cream, and taking the pan Of
milk, she started with it for the stove
About the time she reached the stov'
she heard the spoon rattle, and turning
round-her husband came into the room
at that moment-she saw the spoon dro]
at his feet. Mr.. b. said he saw thespool
as be entered the room, rise from tn
dish nearly to the ceiling and then dro
at his feet. No one was near the spoo
when it performed this strange freal
there being no one in the house at ii
time but the aged couple. This ma
seem to some fictitious story, but it
true. Mr.. and Mrs. Bailey are we
known here and elsewhere, and are CO..
sidered by all their acquaintance as no
est and truthful, and so they are; b
the performance of the spoon is q my
terry to all the neigebors here"

WHEN MEN ARE AT THEIR BEsT.-
DIR. Beard states that from an analysis
of the lives of thousand representative
men in all the great branches of human
effort, he made the discovery that the
golden decade was between 80 and 40,
the silver between 40 and 80, the brazen
between 20 and 80, the iron between so
and 70. The superiority of youth and
middle life over old age in original work
appears all the greater, when we consid-
er the fact that nearly all the positions
of honor and profit and prestige-pro-
fessorships and public stations are in
the hands of the old. Reputation, like
money and position, is mainly confined to
the old. Men are not widely known un-
til long after they have done the work
that gives them their fame. Portraits of
great men are a delusion; statues are
lies. They are taken when men have be-
come famous, which, on the average, is
at least twenty-five years after they did
the work which gave them their fame.
Original work requires enthusiasm. II
all the original work done by men I'M
der As were annihilated, the world would
be reduced to barbarism. Men are at
their best at that time when enthusiasm
and experience are most evenly balanced;
this period on the average is from 80 tc
40. After this the law is that experience
increases but enthusiasm declines. In
the life of almost every old man there
comes point, sooner or later, when ex
perience ceases to have any educating
power.

this sentiment to that extent that when a

sacred precincts of the Half Acre, in pur-

Of course We know nothing of the spe-

that three trunks full of papers belonging

real owners are looking after these. and
have employed Mr.. Smith to hunt them
up. We know nothing of Mr.. Marr's

controls the press dispatches between here
and the capital endeavors to establish for
them some such character. Ever since
the Half Acre which was once ceded 70 the
United States by Maryland, has been set
apart for their use to play sovereignty in,
they have added the rites Of hospitality to
their civic duties. And this is the electric
nerve to strike which agitates the whole

inside of which stranger is sacred,
whether he has documents in his posses
sion belonging to somebody else or
not. According to our veritable inform
