An Aneodotc OF Macready.

and blaspheinous language behind the
scenes. An apologist has come to the
front who hints that Mr.. Sala may have
Deer led astray by the fact that in the
last act of Macbeth" Macrcady irvari-
ably lashed himself into Il sort OF fever.
which he aggravated by using all sorts
of strong expressions. When Mr..
Phelps played Macdufr To him for the
first time he was not little amazed
during the fight at close of the last act
TO hear Macready call him beast, n
scoundrel, n hell-born villain, a hell
born cur, and n devil. Full of resent

with energy, and heaped foul names

How the Judge Repeated the joke.

this anecdOte of an esteemed North

was called for trial in Cumberland
Superior Court. Among the witnesses
on behalf Of the State was 20 have been
one Sara Mooney. She was not found in
the courtroom, and her name vas called
in due form from the courthouse win
dow without effect. Wbereupon the
State Solicitor, the late Hon. Robert
Strange, who was fond Of Joke, even Of
pun, turned 10 the court and said
May 10 please your Honor, the testi-
mOny Of this witness is not material
and we will 90 on with the case without
Sora-mooney." OF course the lawyers
laughed at the pun, but the judge didn't
sec 1t, and cracked never a smile.
There were no railroads in those days,
and few stage coaches, and Judge and
lawyers travelled from one court 10 an
other in McKethan's buggies On the
road to the next court, in the judge
own county, there was quite procession
Of lawyers in buggies following tho
judges lead. The Judge called q halt
in the middle Of stream 10 water his
horse, and, in the thoughtful mood in
cident ~ that process, suddenly aston
ished his brethren OF the bar by burst
ing into laughter both long and loud.
He explained that he was laughing at
Judge Strange's good joke.
Arrived at home, through with his
toilet, and seated at supper, his wife, as
wives will, asked Of the incidents Of his
journey. There had been none Of IN.
terest, he said, except the good joke
gotten Of by their mutual friend, Judge
Strange, at Cumberland court. And
what was that, my dearY' Well
there was a case in which one Of the
witnesses was named Mary Moony. She
could not be found, and Judge Strange
amid shouts Of laughter, said, May il
please your Honor, we will 90 on with
out Mary Moony" The good lady
pondered awhile, and said She did not
see any thing very funny in that; and
