A sharp LAWYER,

The Melbourne (Australa) Argus tells the fol-
lowing story "a gentleman of the legal pro-
fession, at one OF the great mining centres. hav-
ing spent CANDY evening at leading hotel,
found the evening air too much for him. In
stead of reaching the bosom of his family he
gravitated to tho lookup, with the much need
ed assistance of servant of the Queen in full
uniform. The lookup keeper didn't know him,
and consequently couldn't send for his friends
to bail him out, AZ il frequently done by those
tender-hearted officers of justice. So he was al
lowed to sleep until in the morning, when he
was aroused and asked his name, which he
promptly said was johnson. He obtained soap,
water and clothes-brush. He was refreshed
by a cup of tea. He then proposed to the lock-
mp keeper that the officials should walk be-
side him to the Police Court. When the time
came this was done, and, by keeping the officer
in earnest converse, it appeared as though the
lawyer was engaged upon some business before
the Court, and when the name Of johnson was
called, he calmly rose, and said Il appear for
the prisoner, your Worship What said the
Police Magistrate, do you deny that he wac
drunk 2 oh, no, lie replied, 'he was very drunk,
but he is very sorry for it. Five shillings or
six hours imprisonment, said the Police Magis-
trate. 4 will pay his fine myself, said this
ready-witted gentleman, who in this instance,
showed that the man who is his own lawyer
hasn't ALWAYS a fool for client"

Dean, an assistant to Mr.. Carnagy the Post
Master at that place. charged by John Dempsey
with opening and reading a letter in transit
through the mail, and directed to Charles
Dempsey. So far as we could
CLEAN from the evidence. it appears the defenc-
ant and Charles Dempsey tho son of the prose-
cutting witness, both young men were enamor-
cd of the same young lady, and 1t became a
question with each which she loved best In
order to obtain this very interesting intelligence,
it is said that Dean opened letter directed by
the young lady to Dempsey, and thereby came
into possession OF the knowledge he was III pur-
suit Of 1t appears that the letter was very I'M
perfectly sealed and very easily opened, and al
Ter being read was sent on it's way again.
| Like many other imprudent lovers Dean
| communicated his secret TO friend by

| Dempsey at last came to the rescue of hls SOL
and swore ont warrant against young Dean fol

The Philadelphia Press says: "When the
gentle Australian concludes to shake of bache'
lorhood and become a married man, or, being
already married, concludes to do it some more,
he pursues course at once sirnple and expe-
ditious. Club in hand, he lays for the
woman of his heart, and, when opportunity for
doing so without being caught occurs, lie
caresses hor with that weapon until she falls
insensibe to his feet then he bundles her Oh
his shoulder, carries her to his ancestral hut,
and tumbles her down in a corner to recover
at her leisure and this constitutes the whole
marriage ceremony. There is cheerful un-
conyentionality about this way of getting mar
ried, which contrasts very favorably with the
cumbrous methods for accomplishing the same
end, in vogue in lands Genominated civilized,
and doubtless many an unfortunate Caucasian
couple matrimonially inclined compelled to stand
the fire OF unmeaning congratulations and to
breast the flood of absurd social customs,
do greatly envy the freedom from bother en-
joyed by their Papuan cousins in the far South
