JUDGE BRADLEY,s TEMPER.

When Judge Joseph Bradley, the Presi-
dent-maker, resided and practiced in New
Jersey, his quick temper furnished his broth.
ers of the bar constant amusement. bis ln'
clination towards piety, his grave and studi.
Gus aspect and the eminent positions he filled
rendered his childish humors astonishing to
those who saw them for the first time, and
amusing to his associates who were aware OF
the nervous temperament he possessed. Joel
Parker and Robert Allen, Ex-Governor and
county Prosecutor, were once conversing in
the library of the Capitol at Trenton and were
startled BY what seemed to be the sound OF
angry voices and of flying furniture.
Through the glazed bookcases they saw
"Joe" Bradley, who was trying to write upon
a table that wobbled under the pressure of
bis arm. Bradley was muttering angrily.
Suddenly he overturned the table and sawed
at one of its legs with pen-knife. The table
wobbled still, and Bradley fumed with rage.
Again he overturned the table, again he hack
ed at the leg, and then with reddening face
and ferocious aspect he seized the table and
hurled it, legs under, across the room, yell

Important business in another part Of the

them into thousand strips, flung them from

Once Judge Bradley lost case in the Court
of Chancery, and as he was leaving the court
house in anger and was muttering to himself

if the court was closed.
"No," he tbundered, happily, though per
haps unconsciously paraphrssing, accelerated

are always open"
Other stories there are of how at at fash

finally he threw his knife at it and swept it
off the table, and how he cuffed his pastor for

II thought you occasionally gave jurymen
a job. I don't read newspapers any, and
being astranger in town haven't gotany
prejudices agin anybody. A pard Of mine
wrote down to nae at Reno, last week, and
said that the jury business up here was brisk
and it would pay to come up. As I'm a
stranger to you and little hard up, I'll start
in and serve for half price till you kin see

No juries ever get hung if I am on 'em. I

show 'em up points they never tumbled to be-

case, there were couple of fellers standin'
out again hangin', and after arguing with
'em as smooth and gentlemanly as could for
over quarter of al hour, l went for 'em with
chairs, and by the time I'd busted half a
dozen pieces Of furniture over 'em they was
glad to come in with verdict of Murder in
the first degree and the feller was hung not
long afterward. In these justice courts I can
get on the jury, and if you'll just give wink
as to how you want the case to 60, I'll guar

The man was told to drop round again in
day or so and they would try and make va
cancy for him. In order to do it, however,
some regular juryman will probably have to
be discharged Virginia City Chronicle.

as being very fond of money, happening, OF
course, to use that term, money, instead OF

that it Is particularly clean or savory, but
it is 80 extremely good-natured and we'll

elbowing. Everyone is courteous to his

any acts of brutality, or to incur any dan.
ger in mixing in it. Smiling, good-na-
tured faces are everywhere, no matter
what the rank OF. position, for good humor
is indeed the chief Russian virtue. And
then such curious mixture of people in
such . crowdi-merchants with long,
dark blue or black caftans, reaching to
their heels, and their cravats tied tight
around their throats, not showing shirt
collar, if they indeed have one; stout old
women with silk kerchiefs wound about
their heads 50 as to conceal their hair;
shoemakers' boys and apprentices in what
seemed dirty muslin dressing gown; ar.
tisans in their blue working blouses; the
ordinary town peasant in his red shirt and
high boots. and the nsuzhik, fresh from the
country with coat of undyed homespun,

stockings and sandals made of plated

the remainder of the profits is distributed
among the stockholders as dividend on

cret of success in the system il the cash

losses, through the failure of customers !;
no lawsuits, and no complex boOkkeep-

A Propagating Secret.

UNDER this head the London 0ardener's
Chronicle says:
sit will be remembered that a month
or two ago we alluded to an alleged extra
ordinary secret for prOpagating trees and
grating roses, whereby much time could
be saved, offered for a small sum by an
Austrian nurseryman, named Bachraty.
This gentleman has since communicated
an article on the subject to the Wiener
Gartenfreund. Briefly, his new method is
as follows: Cuttings of shrubs and trees
are taken off at the beginning of July,
from six inches to twelve inches long, &C
cOrding to the kind. The leaves are re-
moved from the lower portion, which is
to enter the ground; but those which will
come above ground are left. Beds are
prepared for them in the open air, by
thorough digging and leveling, and after
ward applying q superficial layer, about
two inches thick, of rotten manure from q
spent hQtbed. The cuttings are then
stuck in about two inches apart and in q
somewhat obliquc direction. Each bed,
when filled, is surrounded with lath
fence, so that shade may be given when
the sun is very hot, aad the cuttings are
we'll watered with q rose.spouted can.
AAo Will proves WIG VROA 0SAVAs uV OAAy
further care necessary is a sprinkling
overhead three or four times day during
the first week, if the weather be very hot,
and once q day afterward, in the course
of five or six weeks, treated in the man.
ner indicated, the cuttings of most plants
will have formed . callus, and further
shading will be unnecessary. Late in the
autumn layer of rough manure, two or
three inches thick, IS spread over, for
winter protection. It also serves as
manure when the cuttings start growing
in the spring; and cuttings treated thus
make extraordinary progress, forming
plants equal to two-year-old plants from
winter or spring cuttings. Very few, it
is asserted, fail. The new method of
grating roses is the insertion of growing
eyes early in spring, instead of dormant
eyes in the summer. They are inserted
in the main stem, one on each side, to
form symmetrical heads. These make,
it is said, as much growth the first season
as the dormant eyes the second season."

A few weeks ago, one of our citizens
went to bed and to sleep, as he says, never
feeling better in his life. In the morning
he awOke and found his family and neigh
bors standing about his bed In state of
great anxiety, and strange man trying to
get something sweet with spoon into his
mouth. To his expressions of astonish-
ment, the reply was: Didn't you know
you were sick ~ ssNever was better in
my life" Why, you've been awfully
sick. We thought you were dead or dying,
and here Is the doctor trying to give you
some medicine" It was eli q mystery to
him; he felt perfectly we'll; wanted NO
medicine: was going to get up. After
remembrance and considerable parley, he
again announced his determination to get
up. He then learned from his wife that
in the night he uttered g most unearthly
shrek :" whereupon she arose quickly,
struck . light and found him lying upon
his back rigid and in astate of insensibil-
ity. She Immediately called in the rest
Of the household and some of the neigh.
bOEs. A strong man put his hands under
his head to raise him and found him a
stiff - . crow-bar." His throat was
swollen 20 that al was level from his chin
to his stomach. A sensible lady conceived
that there was virtue in friction and
rubbed him until she Wa nearly ex-
hausted, and probably saved his life. A
physician was called, aud % Il was the
patients hour for getting up when. the
doctor was about to administer his rem
edy, he awOke "never better IN his life."
He got up, went down town @ usual,
