"YoU DD VERY WRoNG."-
good stories are told in connection
with the pressure of Cabinet appoint
ments which show that President
Hayes is somewhat of wag. A
crowd of Cameron men called on him
to urge the retention in Office of Penn
sylval,ia's favorite son. Some of them
had been in the Cincinnati Convention
as delegates, and they took pains to
inform Mr. Hayes that he owed his
nomination wholly to their support.
1t required great deal of nerve, they
said, to go against the instructions of
their constituents and vote for him,
and they were afraid after the conven-
tion to return home and face the an-
ger of their people. "Dfd / under
stand you to say that you disregard

cious manner That's just what we

ton. "Then must say, gentlemen,
that you did very wrong,n said Hayes,

other anecdote is to this effect:
A New England delegation visited
the White House last evening to bring
pressure to bear for Senator Cragin
as Secretary of the Navy. After hear

"A RULE OF THE COURT
In early times when F. B. Murdoch
was practicing law in San Jose, he
had a case in Judge Redman' court.
We think it was an action on an ac-
count or promissory note. 1t was
Mr.. Murdoch's first case, and there be-
ing no appearance for the defense he
took judgment by default. By some
oversight, caused by pressure of busi-
ness, he neglected to have the iudg4
ment cover the interest as we'll as the
principal. During the day he discov-
cred his mistake, and the next MORN
ing he moved the Court to open the
judgment and allow him to prove the
Judge Redman heard his
statement and motion, and then with
a dignity which was compound of
about equal parts of sternness and
compassion, said: "Mr. Murdoch, as
you have but lately located here, you
are probably not aware that it is an
rule of this Court that
whenever an attorney is so unfortu-
nate as to burn himself, he must sit
down on the blister. The motion is

OLD TIME ANECDOTES.
How Judge Watson Punished McDougall and
Lippencott.


When the old Mansion House was
completed, not the least attractive
portion of it was the billiard room
Of this game Judge Watson, the first
Judge of this District, were extremely
fond, as were also George McDougall
and Ben Lippencott. The Judge
would never play for less than five
dollars a game, and as Mcpougall and
Dippencott were the more skillful ma
nipulators of the ivory, the amuse.
ment became very expensive to His
Honor. In the Spring of 1850, the
Judge was down in Monterey county,
where he met Canadian who was
working as Vaquero on one of the
ranches. The Canadian was playing
billiards when the Judge first saw
him, and a few minutes observation
convinced Watson that he was the
"boss" billiardist in this section of the
country. An interview resulted in an
agreement, the terms of which will be
developed further along. The next
evening after the Judges return, he
sauntered into the Mansion House.
picked mp cue and announced him
self ready for game. Lippencott ac-
cepted the challenge, and two games
were played, Watson losing both.
The Judge became considerably excl
ted and said "you may beat me, but
III bet fifty dollars can find a man
in the room who can get away with
you" Lippencott and Mac scanned
the bystauders and recognized them
all except dirty, ragged herder who
seemed to have just got in from the
mountains, and as Ben knew he could
beat any of them, he accepted the bet.
Watson nominated the herder, who,
by the way, was the Canadian from
Monterey. The Canadian won the
first game and the second and the
third, and finally broke the party.
The Judge consolingly remarked to
Lippencott and McDougaIl that they
played pretty fair game but ought
to practice up a little before they
played for money.
HOW M'DoUGALL AND LIPPENCorr PUNIsHE D
JUDGE WATSON.
The victims of Watson's job re
solved to get even, and to accomplish
this result they devoted their COM
bined intellect, and finally evolved the
following: Lippencott was a great
sportsman and prided himself on his
shooting. One day he strolled into
the Mansion House with his gun on
his arm, and, after nodding pleasantly
to Watson and McDougall, who were
talking together, deposited his fowl
ing piece in the corner, and went into
the dining room to lunch. Mac says
to the Judge, "Lets put job up on
Ben. He thinks he can outshoot any
man in the state. Wen draw the
shot from his gun and when he comes
out we'll make him bet that he can't
hit your hat at twenty steps," The
Judge was on his ear in a second.
They drew the top wads from the
gun, poured out the shot and replaced
the gun, aud waited for their victim.
Ben soon emerged from the dining
room, and picking up his gun saun-
tered toward the door. "Say, Ben,"I
said the Judge, banterin Ely, you'd
better get a wagon to bring home
your game" WELL" replied Ben, eff
| don't get as near wagon load of
game as any man, you can take my
hat" you'll have to get near enough
to kick it to death" said the Judge.

ATTEMPTED POISONING.

From the Reese River Eeveille Of the 18th
instant We extract as follows:
From DR.. Wixon who returned from lone
and Ellsworth yesterday, we learn the par
ticuIars of a diabolical attempt to poison q
man and his wife at the first mentioned place.
Last Saturday, while G. W. Featch and his
wife were eating breakfast, that gentleman
noticed a peculiar taste in fried egg and
remarked that there was something wrong
about it. His wife then tasted Of al egg, and
the taste was so bitter that she refused TO eat
it. Mr.. Veatch then ste some bread ana
butter in which he noticed the same bitter
taste as the eggs. The butter was then e.
chrystals, which Mrs. Veasch thought vas
be strychnine. Mr.. Veatch had eaten enough
of the poison to kill him if he did not get
speedy relief, and the alarmed neiGhbors pre-
pared to dispatch man or horseback for Dr..
Wixon, who was known to be at his ranch on
Reese river, The poisoned man urged that
this would be Of no avail, as unless he could
be relieved Immediately he must die before
the physician could reach him, and directed
those about him to administer to him coPious
doses of sweet oil. This done, and, although
he had violent spasns for the space Of four
hours, his life was saved. It is supposed that
the poison wss intrQdUced into the butter by
some person or perzons who gained access to
during thu night to the cellar iii which it
was kept, and public suspicion IN lone points
strongly to certain parties as being the plot
