Curran's Reply to Judge Robinson.

At a time when Curran was only just
rising into notice, and while he was yet
poor struggling man, Judge Robinson IL is
said, ventured upon sneering joke which,
small though it was, but for Curran's ready
wit and scathing eloquence, might have
done him irreparable injury. Speaking Of
some opinion of counsel on the opposite
side, Curran said he had consulted all HE
books, and could not find case in which
the principal in dispute was thus establish.

Judge, "but ! suspect your law library 10

the court that "it was not case of man

brought in verdict OF horse stealing, which
in that county would be sure to swing him.

Monkeys fer Cotton Pickers.

A Thomas county cotton planter has
tried o put the initiative traits of the ION
key to practical use in the field. He
Thought that if he should put number Of
monkeys into cotton field, in company
with a lot of negroes who would begin pick
ing cotton indaatriou.ly, it would not be.
long suit. So he procured some 200 from
South America, and made the experiment.
II worked to charm. No sooner did the
monkey perceive the negroes seize the cot-
tp bush and strip it of its aeecy fruit than
they did the same with greater quickne
and much more certain hand-earrying
along no trash 1t was magnificent The
planter saw fortune smiling upon him he
stood in the field and watched them all dsy
they picked twice ss much as the most ex.
perienced cotton picker among the negroes
lie dreamed Of il all night, and early mex,
motning went of to call in all his neigh,
bors to see the triumph OF his ideas. But
alns, when he returned he found his fele
abandoned The negroes had Letakei
themselves to the shade of the neighborint
forest and were splitting their sides laue Ii
ing at the antics Of the monkeys, and.al
his persuasion could not get them back t,
work, so long as the queer movement of th,
monkeys were to be watched and enjoyed
The experiment soon ended by each negr,
adopting monkey, and marching off in tn
night 10 part. unknown, abandoning, for it
sake, wife, children and dogs, and the plan
ter was left lamenrng with his cotton Il

A HAWK AMONG HENs.-Gilbert White
tells most dramatic story of neighbor
who had lost most of his chickens by a spar.
row-hawk that came gliding down between
faggot pile and the end of his house to
the place where his coops stood. The own.
er, vexed to see his flock diminishing, hung
net between the pile and the house, into
which the bird dashed and was entangled.
The gentleman's resentment suggested fit
retaliation he therefore clipped the hawks
wings, cut of his talons, and, fixing cork
on his bill, threw him down among tho
brood-hens. Imagination, says Mr.. White
cannot paint the scene that ensued; the
expressions that fear, rage and revenge in.
spired were new, or at least such as had been
unno.iced before the exasperated matrons
upbraided, they execrated, they insulted,
they triumphed. In word, they never de.
sisted from bufeting their adversary till
they had torn him in hundred pieces."-

Spring Millinery.

The milners are anticipating very few
novelties this season.
Chip bonnets of ecru shades will continue
in vogue but great number of fancy straws
will also be imported.
There will be bonnets partly Of chip and
partly of lace straws, with brims of one and
crowns Of the other.
The capote shape, it is predicted, will pre-.
vail The fronts of all bonnets will be close
against the face but there will be some W.
riations in the crown.
Trimmings will be tied closely around the
crown, and follow its outlines, instead of be.
ing massed in bows and,loops.
A great many flowers will be used, espe-
cially in wreatbs and half garlands.
Tilleul green appears in folisge of every
plant.
Wreaths of rose leaves Of shaded green
will be used for spring hats for young Ia.
dies.
Silk crowns will match the costumes in
color, and the front will be of satin finished
straw or fancy braids.
White lace will be used in combination
with silks and gauzes for midsummer bon-
nets.
Many shades of yellow deeper than those
worn last summer promise to be popular

A Pro INA PULPIT.-In Methodist
meet house in the city on Wednesday even
ing last, the prayer meeting was broken up
by the entrance of a small rig. The sexton
tried to eject the pig, but the pig had no
thought of abandoning the field, and as the
sexton dashed down one aisle the pig ran
up another occasionally running under the
benches and destroying the solemuity Of tho
occasion. Meanwhile the pastor retained
his speechless gravity in the pulpit. But
when the pig eyinced 30 much audacity a.
to climb into the pulpit and take up po-
sition beside the pastor, the latter fully real.

reduced, and he and his congregation re.

Keep Straight Ahead.

Pay no attention to slanderers or gossip
mongers, Keep straight on in your course,
and let their back bitings die the death Of
neglect. What is the use of lying awake
OF night, brooding over the remarks OF
some false friend, that runs through. your
brain like forked lightning? What is. the
use of getting into worry and fret over
gossip that has been set ahoat to your dis
advantage, by some meddlesome busybody,
who has more time than character These
things can't poss bly, injure you, unless, in.
deed, you take notice of them, and in com.
batting them give them character and stand
ing If what is said about you is true, set
yourself right at once if it is false, let it
go for what it will fetch. If bee stings
you would you go into hive and destroy
it?; Would not Il thousand come upon you
1t is wisdom to say little respecting the in.
juries you have received. We are generally
losers, in the end, FIVE stop to refute al
the backbtings and gossipings we may
hear by the way, They are annoying, it Ii
true, but not dangerous, so long as We dc
Not stop to expostulate and scold. Our char
acters are formed and sustained by ourselves
and by our own actions and purposes, anC
not by others Let us bear in mind that

player is a woman. She has never been
beaten and probably never will be. The
kind of game she plays would likely new

"No, you couldn't" was the reply.
"But Il am an old hand with the mallet

man.

POetical.
MARCH.

An surly March you've come again.
With sleet, and snow, and hail. and rein;
Cold earth beneath dark sky above you,
What hNve you, pray, to make US love you?
No month Il halt 20 rough as you,
December Winds less harsbly blew:
What churllsh ways wuat storm-tossed tresses
Your presence every one dlstrcsses
Haste, haste away We longing wait
To greet fair Ap, ut our gate
Cold earth beneath, dark IL, above you,
Surely you've naught TO make us love you,
"Ah, see these blossoms !" he replied
Tossing his hail-torn cloak a ','.
Though other months have flowers a-many,
Say, are not mine as fair as any3
See, peeping from each dusky fJld.
The crocus with It's cup OF gold
Vioets, snowdrops white and stly.
Sweeter than an summer lGy
And un ierneath the old oak leaves
Her fragrant wreath The arbutus weaves,-
Whatever sky may be above me-
Surely for these all heqrts will love me !"
