Tae Bialculty of Getting a Good Likeness.

Her young man went West some
months ago, and Is diligently engaged
in growing up with the country. 70
exhibit bis progress in his last letter he
sent on his picture. She supposed she
was in duty bound TO return him one of
herself, so she persuaded her dad TO
bring her in yesterday and hayc the
likeness struck off, They went INTO
Atlanta's best gallery, on Whitehall
street, and the old man, who had taken
several drinks of enthusiasm IN the
cause, remarked 10 the arts I:
"Look ere, Mr.. Picturesqucr, I've
brought our Julie up hyar TO hay her
fack similar TUX for her bo' what's outin
Texas. The old DOMAINS prmped her up
ftten to give young colt the blind stag
gers. She's my brag gal, you bet YER
scopes on il. an we want tcrhav' big TIN
pictur' of her made thatll cost nine
cents postage to kerry it, or we don't
want mono at all !!
'All right, ny dear sir; have seats,
replied the polite photographer.
While the artist prepared for the work
Julie redisposed her crimps and worked
her face up into gorgeous smile.
'All ready, Let Us seat you here,
Miss SAID the artist.
'Al aboard Julie, plump right down
in that parlor cheer in front, o the
little hat rack and mind yer don't blink
oncet!' ordered the old man.
There That's right! No, face a lit
tic to the right-iook right here . still
now
The cloth was removed, and just then
Julie thou ht show alfred sweet she'd
look in a pictur,' and, despite herself,
the corners of her mouth tried to climb
up her check bones. The artist turned
and closed the camera, entered his closet,
but soon returned W thout any pic
ture.
'Whar's the pictur-gimme squint /.
Lor,' julie, | wish your granny war
alive ter see one of yer picturgrafs"
The picture is spoiled, | regret TO
say. The young lady smiled Just at the
wrong moment, explained the artist.
Thar now, julie dye hear that Jist
flop yerse'f down thar agin, will yer? try
agin, mlster-take another view. I'm
bound TO hev' thet pIctur or bust some

d couldn't help it, pap; it felt so fun

foel so funny, | reckon, eff take that
spilled pic,ur and post it to yer Teller,
with yer mouth runnin' round yer face
like ripped scam in a sack O. corn

Julie pumped down in the chair at
the artists request, but looked mad.
Brighten Up thar, gal or III jerk yer
down right hyar, and unite tibet tie back
less'n no time an then ia send thet
pictur to Rube, by gum, an let him
see how he likes yer looks, with yer

mote country parish. About midnight
he was awakened by loud and excited
conversation in the next room which
was separated from his by a thin board
partition. Not wishing TO eyerhear
private converalion, the bishop contrived
to inform bis neighbors of his presence.
The voices sunk into a whisper, but
broke out again under violent excite
ment. The bishop coughed again, but
was obliged 10 listen to a family quarrel,
the cause and substance OF which was In
effect as follows: The parties in dispute
where father and son, and both were
large real estate holders. 1t appeared
that on the breaking out of the revolu-
uonry war, the two had decided each to
the other all the property standing IN
his name, with the understanding that
the deeds were to be surrendered at the
close of the war. The son was to go to
England as a royalist, the father TO re-
main and support the popular cause, IN
this way each hping TO escape loss. The
war had now been closed for some time.
The son had returned from England,
where he had received royal grant OF
land for his loyalty, and had met his
father by appointment to demand the
restitution of his property as agreed.
The father, who was prudent man, con-
cuded TO keep the property, and hence
the quarrel. The next morning Bishop
White asked the landlord Of tho hotel
the namo Of the two gentlemen, and was
informed that they were BENZ

A woman ArlpuiaIes Her Husbands Leg.

The Cleveland (Ohio) Leader of Mon
day tells the following:
Yesterday afternoon man who with
his family lives near the corner Of Will
liams alley and Fountain street, got into
quarrel with his wife. Both were in
toxicated, but instead Of feeling happy.
it effected them just the opposite. They
tore each others hair, and raised snch Il
rumpus generally that the neighbors
sent for some or the boys at the engine
house to go down and put stop to The
disturbance. Some OF the boys did 90
down, but when they got there the
trouble bad subsidized. AS the sequel
sill show, however, it was not so peace
ful as it seemed. The woman succeeded
in getting her lord and master 10 bed.
Her next move was TO get bottle OF
chloroform which was near ut hand, and
administer dose 10 her husband, which
made him obivious to what was going
on around him. The next act WAS to
procure an old saw, with which she
proceeded to do job in surgery taht
would put professional surgeon to
blush. Beginning at the lower end OF
the mans leg, she commenced saving
until she had severed that useful APP
pendage in twain. He, totally uncon-
scious Of what was going on, slept on
the sleep Of the Innocent while she,
after the job was done, looked on, watch
ing his blood flow. The neighbors out
side got wind Of what was going on in
side the house, and rushed in just in
time to stop the bleeding, but at last ac-
counts it was question whether the
man would live or not"

A NOVEL EXPERIMENTAL novel expert
ment is about to be tried in Chicago for tn.
purpose Of testing the relative merits Of allo
pathy and homeopathy. 1t is proposed to es
tabllsh free hospital, and to this end large
building. with a capacity Of one hundred beds
will be rented for three years. one hal. to be-
devoted to the adherents OF homeopathy and
the other to allopathy. The patients on enter
ing the building will be taken alternately BY
the respective sides. so that it is thought in the
course of year one side would secure as
many severe cases as the other. The method
OF arriving at satisfactory diagnosis in each
case seems to be perplexing one; but it has
been suggested that the physicians on one side
OF the house diagnose the cases for the other
side, and vica versa. Every prescription is to
be made in writing and filed away for future
use.-Stock Report,
With few thousand acres Of graveyard and
colony of undertakers attached. the abore ar.

THE Sacramento Record uses the following
strongly condemnatory language toward the
Supreme Court Of California in relation to the
long continued imprisonment of Charles Pick.
ct, for alleged contempt. BY the imprison.
ment Of Mr.. Picket, the Supreme Court estab.
fishes the fact of the pusillanimity Of the indl.
v'duals composing it, and becomes proper
subject of contempt and denuuciation. The
abuse of power-and the act described BY the
Record is an abuse Of power-is ever con.
temptiblr, pusi|lanimous, and cowardIy.
"The continued illegal imprisonment Of
Charles Pickett by court which has iust
been proved to be thirty.five thousand dollars
worse than nothing. and the legitimacy of
whose constitution Ia open to grave doubt has
become o serious matter and one which the
people should no longer hesitate ut taking IN.
Arrested for alleged contempt of Court, under
circumstances which leave room for doubt as
to whether the Court was in session at the
time, Pickett has been confined with felons in
tne County Jail for now some six months His
incarceration is in sober truth an Outrage. and
one which the people will do well to ponder. il
they have not lost all sense IF indignation at
such masterful doings, or all regard for the an.
credness Of the rights Of citizenship. It might
well be questioned whether court which il
held in such distrust by the people that suitors
will rather abandon their claims than temnt
it's incapacity. has any right to stand upon =
pretense OF dignity. or to assume equality with
tribunals which are alike respectable and req.
pected. But however that may BE- we think Il
would well become the Bar-that Bar whose
members 30 keenly feel the degradation Of
their honorable profession involved in the de.
basement OF the Bench-to make the cause Of
TINS unfortunate man their own, and secure hia
liberation from position in which 10 appears
less - victim 70 arrogance than 90 stand.

VETOED IT.

Governor Bennett vetoed the telegraph bill
an act fpr which good many are inclined t
censure him, but we hardly think their Ger
sures jutt If he had placed as modest an es
innate upon himself as the people Of Bots
county Place on him, it is quite likely he woul'
have permitted the courts to do what he ha
done; but as all of his points in the veto mes
sage are well taken. the proper inference
seems to US to be that he acted honestly in tn
matter. The bill was framed with wonder
full disregard of every principle and require
ment Ofjustice, equity and common sense. ant
would al PROFESSIONALLY have been set aside b,
the courts, if it had been permitted to reacf
them But before its validity could have
been passed upon judicially, bonds might have
been issued, labor begun on the telegraph line
expenses incurred. and complications. business
and legal, created which would have resulted
in endless litigation and expense. Thanks to
the veto. none of these things are now possible.
Nor will the act necessarily delay the construc.
ton of telegraph line to this county. 1t is
admitted by all here that such an enterprise
would be of incalculable financial advantage to
Boise county and her citizens, and having
learned that others are not going to present us
with it, the next thing to do is to put our hands
into our own pockets and draw therefrom the
needed funds We OF Boise county have the
money sud to spare. and We have no right to
ask Congress or the Territorial Legislature to
do that for us which we can do for ourselves,
but we have a right t. invest our own money
and we now have before us an enterprise in
which it will profit US to invest. Let us not.
then, undertake to cast suspicion and oppro-
brium upon Governor Bennett, but rather ac-
cord him praise, which he deserves but seldom
and having done that, do our duty next in the
way of securing telegraph line to our county
and the wires will be up and the telegraph in
operation by the fourth day OF July next-and
then the WORLD will be issued daily and will
give the latest news from all parts of the world
and New Jersey.
We need capital here to develop our mines.
and we need also steady communication with
the money centers Of the country, in order |
that capitalists may be informed every day of
what is transpring here, and Of the fact that
We have valuable mines, and Of their present
stage of development &c. until this
is secured but little progress will be made, a
fact recognized by almost every body in the
county, and denied only by few who hope to
profit by keeping our mineral wealth secret
until such time as they can buy up the claims
held by men who have not means t. develop
and hold on to them. This game will be
played OUT as soon as we get telegraph in
operation here, which should be, and we hope
will be. dnring the coming Summer But TO
make sure Of it we must aid it; for it will not
pay until it has created business for itself. |
which will require perhaps two years We
would like to publish the veto message but it |
Is too long
