The Generals sOiree was well attend
Ell and in addition was enlivened by the
presence of several ladies', and he was of
course in excellent humOr, his spirit
flowing with a freedom only equalled by
the easy flow of his ink. "Aiter YOU
git through with the menagerIe I've got
something TO show YOU, he remarked
mysteriously. This something was not
an attractile-lOOking bottle OF carmine
ink which stood out cOnSpicuOusly upon
the desk and which the General said was
two wears old, "grOwin' on three. THE
ink business is lucrative enough, 10 say
nOthin' of bein' intellectual, but | got
on a new tack, as we used to say ON the
old Missouri. Pm a studyin' law! I've
got a book here, and there's more where
il come from, that'll tell me everything.

ancient tome, published in l775 and
epitOmizing the laws of the Common
wealth of Virginia. "As the late 4.
Ward used to say, and Pm a little like
him so fur as a menagerie goes, I've got
nay forte. It's law. See what a inn
mense field I've got right here, a prac-
ticin' before His Honor, Here's fel-

But before he returned, the Court ar
rived and had extended an invitation To
BARLEY O'Nara 10 make himself vIsi-
ble. Barley was ayOuth OF some twen-
" summers and was charged with dis
turbing the peace. The prosecuting
witness, a dashing bruno OF African per-
suaSion, depOsed that he had "siCked
two dogs on her, and they had torn her
dress besides putting her To the unlady-
like exercise of throwing cObble stones.
She had driven them back several times,
but the villains still pursued her. Bart
ley's lady witness said there was only
one dog, and that il was going along
ahead OF the handsome brunette, with
thought intent only on marrow bones
until she kicked at it when its soul rose
in arms and il flew at her. BARLEY had
called il OH and its retreat was accele-
rOted by shower OF stones from the
plaintiff To the disgust OF the latter
the case was dismissed.

William Carney had a good iace-not |
the angelic look that the Old Mast""S
gave the Beloved Disciple, but still a |
good face. IL was hard TO think while |
looking upon him that he would stand |
up and blackguard friend until the !
very air was blue. Yet such was the |
fact. He had applied such an array OF
epithets 10 Officer Davis, that His Honor |

paving the costs.
Richard Eberling, bullet headed
youth of about Il, and Miss Maclv0r, |
iineal descendant of Scott's Flora Mac
Ivor, were arrested for being in an old
boat house near the Belmont mill, at l.
O'Clock at night, for indecent purposes.
His Honor asked the lady II she desired
any witnesses, and she asked To have
'.Mr. Eberling" sworn. Then assuming
n thoughtful air and rubbing her chm
meditatively she began:
"ITm. ain, Mr.. Ebrrling. dit you use
any language that was disrespectlul To

"No."
"Hm. Well, ah, Mr. Eberling, was
