i day on an Eastern train, and commenced sam
ping lager. He visited every saloon in the town,
and sfter pouring in three or four barrels he was
found about halfpast 10 o'clock at night (when
our citizens are all under the scorching influence
OF juggernaut cavorting and making things
lively on Jefferson Avenue.

sir?
Arthorne--There is some mistake here. am

Orphans" commencing July 5.
Bljah-That confirms my story. He is tan
bouncer. and had his two orphans with him when
he arrived.
Judge-Bijah, your head is level. Most of these
tan bouncers like to dignity themselves with the
title OF actors. But they can't deceive me They
generally take orphans from the poor-house. for
apprentices and have often drawn up the in

line? cannon-ball tosser? I once knew man
who claimed to be Frenchman, and called him
self Mons. LIS Thorne, who used to handle the
globes very cleverly. Bijah, go down in the
cellar and bring up couple OF those 24-pound
cannon-balis that we laid in when we heard the

Arthorne, indignantly-I assure you, on nv
honor as gentleman, that am no juggler, but
an actor.
Judge, sternly-This court has had more than
fifty years experience around circusses, and it
can't be fooled.
Bijah-In demoniac rawlings last night h. called

Rankin.
Judge-Well, this court is not to be shook, nor
can he palm 1.-THE Of his highfalutin stories on

York, with impunity. They are used to it there
But let him beware of coming to Detroit. Yet.

Judge-That will do, sir. Historians and trav-
elers tell us that by fair Klllarney's lakes the
grass ~ ever green; in short, that Ireland is
called the Emerald Isle. Gaze well upon me,
young man, and tell me if you can discern aught
Of the emerald hue in this rudy countenance.
1Our case Is disposed OF.
Arthorne-Am sent up?
Judge-The canvas of the circus tents will be
nicely ironed, folded and packed away in cam
phor for the Winter months; the fragrant she'll
barks, having burst from their pods, win bestrew
the brown grass, and the foliage OF the trees
will assume their brightest and most varied tints
ere you can be again permitted to go on the war
path. In your seclusion, when you shall hear
the booming of the evanesceDt fre-cracker, the
psh OF the festive rocket, or the merry chirp of
the heart-lnspiring torpedo as they usher in the
almost centennial anniversary OF the birthday of
our national freedom, then pause in your daily
occupation OF ssndpa pering white wood chairs /;
or should you be grazing the groaning banquet
table at such moment, forego temporarily from |
feasting upon the health giving mush, and
renect, young man, upon your past mis-
deeds, and reconcile to your own mind, |
If you can, why you did not repress your
enthusiasm until a fitting moment like this |
When you are released you will require an Ulster
overcoat, and the merry jingle Of the sleigh bells
will be heard; and your family may be recall ing
the faces OF the past in the leaping flames Of the
CRATE fire. 1t is six months. n
Arthorne-But what is to become OF nv family |
left here alone among strangers?
Judge-Carlotta Swift will continue to be seen |
in her aerial flights upon the lofty trapeze, and
in ground and lofty tumbng; while |
presides at the hand organ. Biiah, bounce him |
into the corridor, and give him seat on the coal
box until my clarence arrives.
And the prisoners band sang out, as the Black |
Maria drove from the doors
With rapture we delight to see
The cuss removed"
