Takin' Vacation.

A boy in ragged clothes had been sitting
under the fountain in front of the ioung
Mems Christian Association rooms for
some time yesterday afternoon, and the
people keeping stores around there were
beginning to get tired Of seeing him
monopolize so much room. distorting the
scenery, and frightening the horse driven
up to the iron trough to drink.
"What are you doing here?" at length
inquired man sauntering toward the lad
from a neighboring door.
"Oh. enj YIN myself, was the answer.
Don't YOU think you'd better be out

"a SATIRE on THE TINES"

Alas the change where shone Washington,
Begrimed with smoke, sits Jesse's putting son,
She cloud -impelling deity who rules
His piebald worshipers OF knaves and fools,
A thing of accident, a bladder blown
BY favoring fortune. and her special own.
BOorish in manners, poor IN thought ana speech
His pen and tongue beneath the critics reach;
stupid and stubborn. scorning all advice,
And selling Office for the highest price,
saving provision for his last OF kin,
Who, out OF place and pocket, must go In.
Gambler in gold and stocks by go-betweens.
A pleasure seeker upon others means;
brazen beggar, with an outstretched hand,
Ready for houses, horses, dogs and land,
Nothing amiss 10 his unquenchsd desires,
Little or big alike his greed inspires
A cottage here, a broad plantation there,
Down to a tavern bill or railroad fare.
Dull 90 his country's honor or her shame,
Indifferent 10 her interests or her fame,
So ne can drive and drink and smoke the same
No loafer need despair. nor satire want
A fitting subject. while there lives Grant.

sible upon any recognized rule OF GRIM
inal law.
The defendant is not required to offer
any evidence, or To explain any fact

prima facie case against him. He is

The third iiisti uction given at the
request of the prosecution, contains
the following proposition: a sane
man is conclusively presumed to c0u-
template the natural and probable
consequences of his own acts, and
therefore the intent TO murder is con-
clusively inferred hy the deliberate
use of Il deadly weapon unless provel
to have heen done in self defense or

of a deadly weapon, where the circum-
stances under which it was used, were
such as would excite the fears Of
