JUDICIAL DRINK.

An Alabama paper says that the
other day, while sitting in the Circuit
Court, Judge Humphreys grew weary
of the endless tongues of attorneys,
and calling to a bailih, said huskily,
ego over to the Hole-in-the-W Wall and
bring me a drink of whiskey."
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 a suifi-
cheney for an Alabama Judiciary sys-
tenn.
"Go back" Numbered the judge,
ego back and tell HageFty to send me
a drink-a drink ofYhiskey."
The baili0' disappeared again, and
reappeared again with a tumbler
brimming full.
"Ah," 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 blushing,
"Oh, yes, he must have made some
remark now what did he sayS'
"Well, sir, your Honor, he said, i
sent him a drink of whskey at first,
/ didn't know that the old fool wanted
to take a bath
"Hem, hem, go on with the exam,

judge to the attorney for the plain'ih

"Who is she, Charley r.
"Bfiss Daisy Graham"
Graham! What Graham ?"
"IIer fathers name was Josiah, and
/ believe they we're wealthy at one
time"
"Josiah Graham's child dressmak-
ing" cried Aunt Stevenson. "Char-
leyl And Maria Shis wife. ] mean

"NO, but they are very poor. Do
you know herr"
"Know her She was my dearest
friend for years, uutil she married and
went out West. Where are they /

"You are the dearest Auntie in the
world"
"H'mi Yes. It seems to me you
are wonderfully interested, DR.. Charles.
Is Miss Daisy pretty2"
Lovely, and so gentle and good"
Then Charley told of his New
Years call, of the subsequent visits,
of his pleading for and obtaining per-
mission to make social visits after pro-
fessional ones were no longer needed,
and how each one deepenSd his inter
est in the fair, sweet girl.
"She is very dolicate," he said, in
conclusion, Sand needs good food and
freedom from wearing anxiety."
"She%hall have them. Aud, Char
ley, if she is the refined, sweet woman
her mother was will speed the WOO
ing"
Only kiss to thank her, and Char
ley was off to order the carriage for
the. call.
Two weeks later, Miss Maud Mid
dleton being about to prepare a ward
robe for her summer campaign,
bethought her of the fifty dollars she
owed Daisy Graham, resolved to pay
it, and so pave the way for new
order. But Miss Graham was not at
home.
"Gone with her mother to visit
some friends" her landlady told Miss
Middleton, who ro-entered her ph@ton
in no amiable frame of mind.
"She had such exquisite taste, and
fitted me to perfection, and worked for
a mere nothing" thought that ill-used
young lady as she drove in the direc-
tion Of Miss Stevenson's. "Pll ask
that old maid who makes her dresses,
though | suppose they cost a small
fortune"
Miss Stevenson was at home, the
servant informed Maud, and that
young lady, being privileged visitor
went at once to the sitting room. At
the door the paused, seeing q lady sit
ting near the window, and in a low
chair at Miss Steyenson's feet, Daisy
Graham.
"Oh! Miss Graham" she said, 81

quite convenient toward providing her

hear of the engagement, Mande, but
you may say that we will have we'd
ding in the fall, when Daisy will
become the wife of my nephew Char
ley"
Very sweetly Miss Middleton made
her congratulatory speech, and paid
her bill, but in her ph@ton the young
lady shed spitefnl tears in the shadow
of her veil, mutteriuM
$50 that was the reason why Char
ley Stevenson stayed away from my
New Years reception, and has been

And, reader, that was exactly the
reason.

Among the other anecdotes related
of the late Sultan is the following:
Abraham Beg used to be his scandal
monger. One day, just before an aud
ience, Abraham was asked by one of
the Ministers to tell the Sultan that
Turkish bonds were at thirty, alleging
as his reason that the Sultan had been
SO Informed by his Grand ViGier.
Abraham promised acquiescence
Having heard his gossip, the Sultan
asked the Jewish banker what figure
bonds stood at. "Thirty," answered
the complaisant rogue, boldly. "Do
they p he replied ''then sell these for
me" and he handed him a big bundle
of bonds to sell at once. Abraham
was bound to take them, and to pay,
even according to his word, but the
bonds fetched hira only twelve.
Spurgeon tells the following story;
"a poor man, who had large family,
gave them very comfortable support
while he was in health He broke his
leg, and was laid up for some weeks.
AS he would be for some tir1e destitute
of the means of grace, it was proposed
to hold prayer meeting at his house.
The meeting was led by Deacon
Brown. A loud knock at. the door
interrupted the service. "A tall, lank,
blue -frocked youngster stood at the
door, with an OK goad in his hand.
Father could not attend this meeting,
he said, but he sent his prayers, and
they are out in the cart They were
brought in, in the shape Of potatoes,
beef pork and corn. The meeting
broke up without the benediction."
The fact was recently mentioned
that an Illinois girl had sheared thir-
teen sheep in two hours. The sequel
of the story is related by the Chicago
journal, as follows "'What do you
think of the girl ? inquired our rep,
resentative of the farmer who owns
the sheep that were operated upon.
Think echoed the old fellow, as he
pointed to a pen of fine wool sheep.

The recent publication by Mr. George
Smith, the famous archeologist, OF the
&" Chadean Account OF Genesis, carries
back Challean history to at least the twenty
third century previous u the Christian Era.
lie quotes from 4 tablet the names Of
twenty great Chaldean cities which existed
and were old, at thar period, and makes
this very important admission " The fact
that the Chaldcans, 1000 years ago, be
lieyed their cities TO be Of such antiquity,
shows that they were not recent founda
tions and their attainments, at that time,
in the arts and sciences, prove that their
civilization had already known ages Of pro-
gress. The tablets he translates, and
which he finds 10 be older than the time of
Abraham, must have been written in those
much earlier " ages Of progress. The
topics OF these writings are the creation Of
the world the fall OF man, the food. the
tower of Babe, and the times Of the patri
archs, together with Chaldean fables and
legends OF the gods. The writings are found
on terra Gotta tablets taken from the ruins
Of AsSyrian and Babylonian Libraries, found
their accounts agree substantially with
those found in the Hebrew Scriptures, the
Chaldean accounts being, however, longer
and giving more particulars.
The old schemes Of ancient history, which
could not yet back into the past beyond the
Assyrian empire. were wholly unable to
explain the Chaldeans. 1t Is understood
DOW, that Assyria was preceded by the great
er and much more highly civilized kingdom
of Chaldea and that the history Of Chaldea
probably counted As many millenniums as
that Of Assvria counted centuries. The
Chaldean writings show high degree Of
intellectual culture and touch almost every
topic of human interest. Ancient Chaldea had
great libraries and lis " wonderful litera-
turc, as Mr. Smith calls il, was copied
by the less cultivated Assyriaus. Some Of
the kings Of Assyria established great IL
braries which were filed chiefly with
copies Of Chaldean books.
The Chaldeans had several versions Of the
stories Of the creation. the flood, the tower
of Babel, etc. These genealogical legends
We're already ancient, when reduced to writ
ing and they lad also some other stories
of the same class, which are not found in the
Hebrew Scriptures, one Of these being an ac-
count of the fall Of - Satan and his angels
and the consequent war in heaven, which
took place previous to the creation of man.
Mr. smith saws that it Is not reasonable to
suppose that the cosmogonic legends OF the
Hebrews and the Chaldcans arose indepen-
IDENTIFY. One people must have borrowed
them from the other. But they existed in
Chaldea long before the Hebrews b2gan ex-
istcnce as a people.

An EXPERIMENT STATION IN VERMONT,

An EXPERIMENT STATION IN VERMONT
Tie State Board Ct Agriculture have re-
solved to establish an experiment station,
under the charge of Prof. Henry NJ. seely,
Secretary of the Board, being the second
one on this continent, the first, that at
Middletown, CT. having been in operation
for some time past. The Board resolved
that Prof. Seely "be authorized to make or
cause to be made by others. such investiga-
tions and experiments as shall seem to him
likely to simplify and explain the relations
Of science to agriculture, make additions
to our knowledge and skill in the cultiva-
tion of the soil and raising and care Of
stock and protect US from fraud and impo-
sition, such Investigations to be without
expense to the board or the state" AL
though the work to be accomplished must
necessarily be small when compared to that
of stations endowed and sustained by
government patronage and individual
liberality much can be done. The
questions to be answered are, for
instance. such as these The raising
OF cream at different temperatures CO.
agulation by acids, rennet, electricity or
other agencies; the composition. natural
and ARTIFICIAL c0lorlng OF butter the glob-
ules, animal and other odors and essential
oils. and the chemical decomposition OF
butter andcheese also in regard to that val
liable tuoer, the potato; the composition
and structure OF different varieties; fertil-
izers. the obvious questions in relation to
them /; seeds, their genuineness, purity,
quality and vitality feeding stock, steam
ing food. food ratiOns. etc. ; the apple. test
ing the hardness of promising varieties; par
asities and diseases the structure, growth
and composition. and the causes and chemi-
cal results of decay. They are many other
questions which may. with great benefit to
the farmer, be investigated. 1t should be
added that Prof Seely gives his labors vol
unfairly and without remuneration.
