Say nothing to the colored broth

After the equinoxes, there is moth
ing in this metropolis that is worthy
of mention, except our Criminal
Court. 1t is now in session, grind
ing seven ways for Sunday,-grind-
ing the taxpayers as fine as DUST
grinding the people numerically.
To look in and hear our Judge in
struct the jury, you would wonder
if the fate Of nations really hung on
their verdict; and would be surpris-
ed to learn, no. that it was the jury
that would hang over night, in order
to claim one more days pay, and
that the great case was, as to wheth-

assault and battery, when he push
ed the woman down into a gully for
splitting tobacco juice on his face.
This was a sample of a hundred
other cases; four witnesses swore
that Charley sWore at the woman,
and four other witnesses swore that
he did not swear; then sixteen wit
nesses on each side were introduced
to testify as to the characters of the
Of the eight opposite witnesses. In
all, about forty witness fees, result
ed in somebody's pocket, and the
State and county payed the fiddler
to the tune of several hundred dol.
lars for one squirt Of tobacco juice.
The Tim Homer case was OF like

Homer's miraculous escape, and no

All Of this petty foolishness is fun
for the court and its retaincrs, but
it is bankruptcy for the people.
Not long since, ali old lady living
across the river, Indicted sixteen
little children for disturbing public
worship. The little folks--girls and
bOys--were aged from s to II years.
Criminal Court commenced to grind
the old lady's turn-fifty witnesses
appeared for and for nenst, and
others were awaiting the ferry boat
TO bring them over the river. This
ridiculous case assumed such huge
proportions as to overpower the
courthouse, and the thing was
squelched; but not in time TO save
the people several hundred dollars.

lT is not that women dress too much, but
that they think too much Of dress that they
are condemned. Men dress "a expensively

is an incidental affair, happening with some
regularity, to be sure, but not made the
central thought OF life There are other
duties. other employments for the mind for
them. and this IN cumparison seems a trihe
