LEGAL WIT.

In Lynchburg, Va, a distin-
gnished member of the Bar, ap.
peali1g to the Court for the dis
charge of his client, wound up
with the statement that, if the
court sent him On further trial, a
stain would be left on his char
acter which could not be washed
off by all the waters Of the blue
ocean, and all the soap which
could be manufactured from the
"ponderous carcass of the Com
monwealth's Attorney" To this
the ponderous attorney replied
that, while he deemed it foreign
to the case at the Bar, he de-
sired to advise the Court, it they
thought it advisable to boil his
body into soap, they shoald look
to the opposite counsel for the
concentrated lie out Of which to
make it.

Maj. Harrod's Letter to Gen. King.

The following letter from MAJ.
Harrod, of the Mississippi River
Commission, to the Hon.J. Floyd
King, NJ. O., ls Of great import
ance to the people Of this section
Gen. King has introduced a bill
in Congress for the appropriation
of lands required to carry ont
the report of the River Commis-
sion, and which will meet the
requirements suggested:
= New ORLEANS, April IL, 80.
Gen. j. Floyd King, NJ. c.:
Dear Sir-Iu relation to the
subject of our recent consersa-
ton, [ would state that all the
overflow waters now in Louis
lana comes through the State OF
Arkansas. The river front of
that State is practically unpro-
tected from 'Possum Fork down
to the Louisiana line. Ofcourse
the State Of Louisiana can take
no steps to give protection
against dangers from without
her borders, except under treaty,
which must be authorized by
Congress. An effort to establish
such a treaty with the State of
Arkansas. in our Legislature of
1878, fniied. I think the Ark an
sas Legislature ratified the prop
osition, and [ presume Congress
would not have objected. The
Mississippi River Commission
has recommended the recon-
struction of levees as aD auxil-
iary to other means for carrying
out the object of tie bill. This
work closing the break in the
levees will doubtless be carried
out should Congress adopt the
views urged in the report of the
Commission.
Very Respectfully,
B. M. HARRoD.

JOTTINGS FROM OAK RIDGE.

EDITOR CLARIoN.-I will drop
you line this evening for to-
morrow's mail. Nothing of much
note has occurred since my last
sketch. The crops are growing
finely. Judging from the dull
ness of trade now, hands are
working we'll. Oak Ridge is
hardly clearing expenses this
pretty weather, Some days no.
body comes to town-all for the
better. We would hate to see
more loafers in town than al
ready live in it. Well, taking
things altogether, our little in
land village, will some day be a
little town. We now have seven
dry goods and provision stores,
2 saloons, 3 blacksmith anG
wood shops, three churches, a
Masonic Hall (but we want a
better one), two female schools
ln and near town-one taught by
Mrs. Mollie Beauchamp; the
other, by Miss Jennie Dosson-
both good teachers.
We have good Magistrate
and Constable, and / may add,
law and order.
Speaking of the churches, we
had a most excellent sermon at
the Methodist Church last Sun
day by that learned divine, DIR.
Trippett, from the words, "What
will it profit a man to gain the
whole world and loose his own
soui?' The subject was Well
handled and beautifully illus
trated. The whole audience were
all attention, each trying to
catch every word, but were now
and then hinderei by the sudden
outburst of some little one, whose
lungs evidently were never ef-
fected by disease.
Speaking Of our town, we have
4 Doctors and lots and cords of
drugs in nearly every business
house, but sometime We wonder
how the Doctors live. We fre-
quently see them doing nothing
and apparently like the rest of
us, too lazy to read a newspaper.
Then again: We see them all rid

We want a good silver smith,

The bill creating the Northern
Judicial district of Louisiana has
unanimously passed the Federal
house OF representatives. There
is. therefore, a reasonable GER
tainty that the bill will soon be-
come law. This is good news
for the people of the northern
portion Of this State, because it
will save them the great incon-
venience and expense involved
in haying all causes in Federal
courts tried in this city. More
over, the establishment of an
other Federal court will vastly
tighten the present press of bust
ness, which is a severe bur-
den to the most Industrious
judge. The passage of the bill
by the house Of representatives
is due to the active exertions OF
Hon. J. Floyd King. Mr.. King
has, during his entire term of SER
vice, shown care devotion to the
interests ofNis constituents, and
he has achieved an enviable rep
ntation for ability in discussing
the larger affairs of the nation.
His action 10 the present case
will, doubtless, add 70 his popu-
larity throughout the State.

"That this split in the party in

puts the candidacy of the ex-

is most reasonable to ASSUME. No
peace which it is possible to
patch up, either here, or at
Springfield, car re-anite the di.
vided camp upon the thitd-term
programme. To the abandon

nov no alternative but a reYolt
which would probably transfer
the Presidential votes even OF

The romantic marriage of a
wealthy young lady Of San Fran
cisco to a poor but respectable
and intelligent young man EN-
ployed as street car conductor,
recently created a stir i'll social
circles. The affair has had a
pleasant ending, however, the
.lady's family very sensibly taking
er1husband afectionately into
the family, when it was found
that his only social shortcoming
was poverty. Following this
comes the elopement and mar
riage of the only daughter OF an
Oakland millionaire with a pow
city stricken, but well-educated,
intelligent, temperate young mau
who was in her fathers employ.
The young couple waited some
time for the repentance Of the
father, who 10 bis Indignation
promptly disinherited his laugh
ter; but not repenting, the latter
her husband to re-
turn to the paternal roof.
