About four years ago the king of Bur-

in the vernacular and in English, and
forthwith consulted an eminent British
official then in Burmah about the matter.
His majesty said there need be no trouble
about minor details; he would see to
them himself; what he wanted, was an
English editor, with Anglo. Indian exper-
fence in journalism, to whom n thousand
rupees month would be paid HIS ma
jesty added that he would only make one
SUPPLEMENTARY that the editor should
pledge himself to follow with constant ap-
proval the line of policy adopted by the
court, that nothing displeasing to his ma

sanction his liability to receive five hun.

about closing, and the police depart

rive on that train just as the

pointing to onr friend, and 1.-The

The conductor and others had to
como up and swear to his identity
and beg for him, before tho officer
would forego the. pleasure of locking
him up.-Charlotte Observer.

abuse and bitter dcnuncintion OF
Col. Macloy, attaching to him the
entire blame i'll tho affair ns the in

FREQ he would DO perfectly satisfied.
A sENsATIoN
Mr. Mackey, ut tho close of Solici-
tor BUTTS argument, desired the
permission of tho Court to make m
explanation. He said May it
please the Court, I regret exceeding
ly that in this casc, in which I have
by somc extraordinary process bccn
connected, I an not in the condi-
ton to defend myself but owing to
severe indisposition this is impossi-
bio. l regret this tho moro that
nm not ablo to show up, in the Ii ght
it deserves, tho dastartlly cowardicc
of those who attack mo in this court
house, but who would not tlnro to
face me in tho street.
The solicitor jumped up and
asked the protection of tho Court.
Judge Roed stated that ho con
sidcred TINT Col. AIackey had said
enough, and requested him to push
the matter no further.
Mr. Mackey said that he moant no
disrcspect to tho Court, but simply
wished to show up tho mean, cow
ardly conduct of Il man who would
attack him undor cover of his official
garb, and yet not dare repeat tho
iMsust on tho street.
Solicitor Buttz. l never ran from
you at any rate.
N1r. NInckey. T guess You
wouldn't like to swear to that, for
know several occasions Oh Which YOU
have run from me.
Solicitor Buttz. J don't know
how soon may have to run from
you. I don't claim to DO brave
man.
Mr.. N1ackcy. Well, thon, I think
it in exceedingly bad taste for u
man who acknowledges himself n
dastardly coward to question the
bravery OF others.
How long this spirited little by
play would have gone on il is i'm
possible to state, had not tho Court
called the partios to order and put
un end to the sensation"
