IS 4 PAINT MULE HORSE?
lsan Antonio Crexas) Herald


Nothing is more remarkable than the
facility with wbich the colored population
become acquai nted with the forms of law
and the practical management of @ caae in
court. There was striking illustration OF
this fact in the Recorders Court the other
mOrDipg.
The prison er was accused of riding across
one of the bridges at gait faster than q
walk, and the proof was that he galfoped a
paint mule over Hudson street bridge. He
managed his case.
His honor said-"I think I'll have to
fine you, JOhusing."
May ak few questions -
"You may"
" lso't thar sign over dat bridge, war
ming people how dey must ride 2"
80 There is, and that makes you all the
more guilty"
" 1t does, does it7 Now, Mr.. Recorder
is dat sign what has to go by. Is dat the
Iaw7"
"It is"
Well, den, dat sign reads, walk your
horse or you will be fued.' Don't it-don't
boss7'
" It does, JohnsiDg."
Well, de proof is, 1 was gallopin' a paint
" Ye 8, believe 80, replied his honor
beginning to smell rat.
Now, if your honor is willin' to admit
dat paint mule amt no boss, I'll rest the
case hesh, because you sec de law is Isball
walk my hose, and as it was q paint mule,
dat is fatal in de Indictment. You is law
yer, and you ought to know de points mosr
as we'll ae myself"
Recorder.-,' Ahem! for the purpose
of this suit pil regard that paint mule as a
hoss."
Prisoner" Your honor will please ote
my 'ception. jess wants to make one
more point. Allowin's, for de sake of ar
gument, dat paint M ule is a boss, de sign
reads Walk your hoss.' Now, l has de
witnessed here to prove dat paint mule h"ss
was not my hoss at all. De law say walk
your hoss."
Recorder" Tll fine you ton dollars,
Johnsing."
And as Johnsing was conducted to the
lock up he expressed great sympathy for the
taxpayers as he intended to bring suit for
100 COO dollars damages for false Imprison
ment.
He is now, however, at work on the
street.

81 I'M Il FRENCHMAN 1ND YOUR
ENEMY"

The Paris Figaro, which now and then
tells the truth, relates this story
Daring the month of September, several
days after the gates of Paris were closed ,
n Prussian regiment (the Forty sixth) was
established at BOugival. Its frat care was
tn establish telegrsphic communication with
Versailles. The next day the wire was cut
IG was repaired, but was again cut, and this
happened time after time, until at last the
suspiclOn of the enemy fell upon a certain
Francois Debergue, a gardener then in
charge of the country house of NJ. Paul
Avenal, who has given US these particulars ::
Francois was accordingly brought before
the military commission of the enemy. The
Prussian Major said to him:
" It is you have cut the telegraph ?"
Yes" replied Debergue.
Why did you do it7"
Because am Frenchmao and your
enemy"

Debergue was condemned to death. AS
very body st Bougival knew and esteemed
the old man (he was sixty years oId), 10,
600 francs were easily raised and offered as
u ransom. AS soon, however, as Debergue
heard of this he said simply:
sit is useless to do nythipg to save my
head, for tomorrow 1 would commence
again"
On the . Oh of September a platoon of
Prussian soldiers conducted the old patriot
to field near BOugival. The officer couId
hardly conceal his emotion. A handler
chief was asked for to bind the prisoners
eyes.
" have one in my pocket" said Deber-
que " take that"
A moment later the old gardener fell,
his body pierced with eighteen balls. The
name of Francois DeNerSue shall not per-
ish. A subscription was taken up at Bou-
gival to erect a monument to his memory,
and our friend, the sculptor Lapzirotti, is
intrusted with the carrying out of the pro-
ject.
