An Alabama paper says that the
other day. while sitting in the cir
cult court, Judge Humphreys grew
weary of the endless tongues Of at
torneys, and calling to the bailiff, said
huskily, go over to the Hole-in-
the Wall and bring me a drink OF
whisky"
The bailiff disappeared and reap
peared shortly with an inch and a
half of corn juice in a glass-enough
for any Christian man, but not suf-
ficiency for an Alabama judiciary
system.
Go backl" thundered the Judge,
"go back and tell Hagerty to send
me a drink-a drink Of whisky"
The bailiff disappeared again and
reappeared again, with a tumbler
brimming full.
"Ahl" said the wearer of ermine,
that, now, is a drink. But what,
wiping his lips with the cuff Of his
coat, "what did he say"
"Oh; he didn't say anything, your
honor" answered the bailiff blush
ing.
"Oh, yes, he must have made some
remark: now, what did he say!"
well, sir. your honor, ne said, I
sent him a drink Of whisky at first. /
didn't know that the old fool wanted
q BATH"
Hem, hem; go on with the exam
ination OF your Witness" said the
judge to the attorney for the plain
tiff.

Stupend0us Pull.Backs.

Last Tuesday over 1900 persons
were assembled at Lords to witness
a game OF cricket, the annual match
between Oxford and Cambridge, in
which Oxford came very decidedly
out OF the little end OF the horn. l
doubt whether the ladies took much
interest In the game, but they must
have found enough to admire in each
others "pull-back dresses, which are
certainly calculated to startle the un-
regenerate male mind. Some OF
these dresses are now pulled back to
that degree that sitting down in them
must be simply impossible. AS the
English woman is seldom constructed
on very slight or fragile scale, the
effect Of costume which reveals the
outlines of the whole figure is calcu-
lated to considerably astonish weak
nerves. I saw couple of young
girls coming out OF the Royal Acad-
emy to-day, and at first 1 really
thought that a brace Of statues had
been endowed with motion, and had
walked down from their pedestals
into the street. For the dresses were
OF very light and gauzy material,
and the pull-back was simply stu
pendous, and-but perhaps 1 had
better not enter any further into the
subject, for some people are rather
particular, and they might not like it.
1 may go so far as to say that the
streets of London, or the fashionable
evening parties, seldom presented
more to interest the curious eye than
they do at present. l should be
afraid to describe an evening dress
L saw the other night; you might say
that my letters had been condemned
as improper and that you had lost
several subscribers in consequence
II the next change in fashion is not
in totally different direction, artists
ill'find it unnecessary to go to the
statuary in the British Museum, or
elsewhere, to study the human form

"Ideot yoorself," yelled Issaker, in
a drunken rage; II come here on
your account, and at your expense, to
play Republican and interrupt you.
and won't take no ideot from you

And the infooriated beest made his
way thro that awjence, and precipe-
tatid hisself onto me, and dragged me
off the platform, an whaled me till 1
thot l he'd gone thro the entire Re-
bellion. 1 he'd no idee afore ez to
wat wuz meant by being whaled.
Wv course the meetin wuz broken
up, and the awjence dispersed in a
row. Issaker in his drunkenness
went to the nearest bar-room, and
told EN- all Nv our arrangements, and
before mornin he'd not only spent the
money he'd provided him with, but
he'd pawned the close he'd furnished
him, and found him in the mornin a
mere wreck.

cred the coz to any alarming extent;

which revealed strange and strik-
ing scene.
There crouched Katie, pale and
trembling i'm the corner of the hall
There stood Miss Halliday, as il turn
ed to stone, while her less strong
minded sister lay in swoon at her
feet. There knelt Mr.. Charles Dun
can, with his knee on the chest of the
Reverend Mr.. Hewlett, and his fist
entwined in that gentleman's cravat
while Mrs. Hewlett in a cloak and
travelling hat, with a muffier AMI veil,
and an unmistakable trace of NOUS
tache on his upper lip, lay bleeding
on his side-felled by chance blow
on the temple from the broomstick
IN the hands of Nancy, who. red, and
painting, still stood with that formi-
dable weapon threateningly up
raised.
Tho Reverend Hewlett was, after
some further resistance secured !;
while policeman, who had by this
time arrived, carefully clasped a pair
of iron bracelets upor the stout
wrists of Mrs. Hewlett.
IL WIS evident that they were pre-
pared for a journey perhaps back
to China, as missionaries-and,u upon
examination OF the ample valises with
which they were supplied, they were
found to be dextrously packed with
Miss Haliday's cherished plate, to
which Mr.. Hewlett had manifested so
much indifference.
The worthy couple were taken in
charge.
Katie did not go to the country.
Her aunts forgave her, and concluded
to keep her at home; and upon fur
ther consideration. they also agreed
that it might be convenient to have
Charlie in the house also, in place Of
the departed Chinese missionaries.
Arrangements were therefore made
to the satisfaction of all parties; hor
has anything yet occurred to disturb
the harmony of the relations between
Mr.. Duncan and his aunt-in-la law; for
he never told her that he had in
tended on that memorable night to
persuade Katie to run away and mar
ry him, instead Of going to Miss
Stricken.

alluded to Miss Millicent says:

need is a little nerve: when they come

followed him, but took the precaution
to throw a light shawl over her head

hole for one eye. Running up to her
husband, who was walking along

whether the little creature was going
to give him one. just for luck. and
thinking how sweet he would look
with proboscis resembling quarter
section OF lobster-she inquired:
John, amt you afraid?' not think
ing Of anything else appropriate to
the occasion. He curled ur his lip
and the tip of his nose in disdain at
the thought, and just then he got it
from the bee on the upper deck. His
wife will never forget the exclama-
ton he gave utterance to, and the by
ISLANDERS generally remarked that it
was exhaustive and fully did justice
to the occasion. He struck at the
bee viciously, and In a second the
whole Skidmore Guard, Jerusalem

Don't build castles in the air. Your
tenants will never pay.
Don't let little things discourage
you. Dry waterfalls are often dam
med.
Don't judge from appearances.
A "lame duck" is lawyers best
food.
Don't try to "play alone" in politics.
You can't succeed without another
knave.
Don't imagine that an editor
sleeps on bed of roses. He often
sighs for little flour.
Don't take too much fruit. Even
"a little peach" twenty or thirty
times day, will be apt to discoloI

weeping, half dozen children half
naked playing on the floor. There
was no need of doctor there.
Through the house the medical ad-
wiser proceeded. Wherever there
were young children the terrible chol-
era infantum was found. Some OF
the children seemed well cared for
and properly attended to. Instruc-
tions were given in every case, and
where poverty prevented their pur-
chase, tickets for the steamboat ride
were presented. Over one hour was
spent in this house, and then the doc
tor left for the immense seven-story
structure few doors above. What
a noise and stencil There were at
least fifty children on the stairs and
in the hallway, their faces grim and
dirty, hair disheveled, shoeless, and
apparently hungry. Some were suck
ing ice they had stolen from a cart
near by; others eating green corn
and half ripe tomatoes
Those who live in decent dwellings
can scarcely imagine what this tene-
ment life is. The mercury in front Of
barber shop on the first floor stood
at Sc. Inside the temperature ranged
from that to 100.
~Do you know whether there are
many sick children in this house?"
asked the doctor OF the first woman
he met
"I have none, sir; but next door
there's one. We have had lots Of
deaths here. Mrs. Reilly, on the
floor above, lost her little girl with
the dysentery yesterday. and she's
most crazy; and her youngest is sick.
Nearly all the little children in the
house are sick"
A visit through the house proved
the correctness Of her statement, On
the floors, propped up in chairs, in
bed, in the arms OF mothers and sis
ters, were found the poor little crea-
lures, so white and sickly. so weak
and sunken-eyeds as to bring tears
into the eyes Of the most unsympa-
thetic The doctors advice In nearly
every ease was to give them fresh air.
and, strangely enough, this seemed to
be the one thing they could not have.
Medicine they can get for nothing,
plenty OF advice, but fresh air must
be worked for and paid for. They
must struggle with the weary child
for miles to the river and pay for
fresh air. The trouble and the ex-
pense prevent half the mothers doing
this, and so the only hope is lost and
the children die.
1t is estimated that the Kealth
Board c,rps made eyer 500 visits yes
terday. The circumstances attend
ing each visit were much alike The
disease is much the same in all cases,
but the degrees of poverty are differ
ent and the consequent indifference
and lack of attention. Yesterday was
"broken day." This morning the
corps will start out early and accom-
plish much more than they were able
to on Wednesday,. 7. Herald, Ju-

their deaths was cholera infantum,
