4 MlIe'a Devotion.

The Westiield correspondent of the
Springfield Mass Republican tells
this story An Illustration of what a
man can accomplish under adverse
circumstances and bodily afIliction,
with loving, willing wife TO aid him,
Is found in DR.. g. N. Germaine, for
years one of our most respected and
successful physicians. Three years
ago his eyes began to fail, and grad
ually his sight weakened until about
Il year ago when ii was entirely lost.
He had no means Of livelihood aside
from his profession, so, AZ his sight
grew dim, his wife, who is II woman
of broad culture and refinement, ne
companlcd him on his visits TO pa
tients to guide him. Gradually ac-
customng herself TO note the various
symptoms Of the sick, and by earnest
study, she became fully competent
when her husbands sight was wholly
gone to describe all the outward symp-
toms OF patients TO him, so that he
has not been obliged to give up prac-
tice, but can be found every day
going his regular rounds with his
wife by his side. His former patrons
with but few exceptions continue
him rs their family physician, and his
blindness has not affected his skill and
success in treating various forms of
disease, although, Of course, il prevents
him from practicing surgery. Every
one sympathiaes with DR.. Germaine
in mis- atlliction, and admires his
courage and his noble wfe's devotion
and energy.

While enjoying the society Of His Honor
the Mayor, the other morning, Miss Eliza
Pinkston, the celebrated notorious, testi-
flying Eliza, ushered herself into the pres
ence of the Chief Executive, and began to
make a cOnfidante of His Honor by telling
him that she was being made the victim of
persecution by some of her own color, who
resided in the south ward.
"What are your grievances Miss Pink
ston ?" quoth His Honor
"Mr. Gill, Aunt Judy and dose other
niggers dat live whar l do, have done stole

Aunt Judy, but jest hurt her little"
"Well, Liza" said His Honor, sit de-
pends entirely upon the injuries you intlict
by your stabbing business. If you only
hurt her little, it will cost you about four
or five years in the State Hotel, but if you
kill her, it will cause you to dance on moth
ing, or to remain behind the bars until the
''sweet bye and bye"
Z" Mr.. Gill, if you see me here tomorrow
morning, you may know dat Eve done
carved Aunt Judy, and den you can send
me up for as long as you want to-" and the
celebrated witness left His IlOnor's pres
ence to hunt up her victim. At last ac-
counts, Aunt Judy was living, and the

Mayors Court,

The usual Monday morning levee at the
Temple was well attended this week, and
his Honor dished out justice to the fol-
lowing offenders:
Russell Bowden, petit larceny, $40 and
cost. Rus went on the brigade.
Miss Virginia Harris, an alpaca blonde,
who dwells in the fashionable quarter
known as the "Blake hsuse," disturbed
the peace of that neighbOrhOOd, and paid
81 80 for the privilege.
Ellen Jemison, a native of Simpson cOun-
ty, raised Cain generally in her immediate
neighborhood and asserted her ability lin
spite of her crutches) to whip out a regi-
ment of wildcats. Ellen now assists the
scrubbing corps in identifying the floors
of the BaStilc.
Ned Burgess Will help the brigade ~
days for having little fun with the deni-
zens of Harris Alley.
His Honor has such polite way of dis
pensing his favors, that whenever culprit
gets before him, he is ready to say guilty,
just to get u full share of justice-and he
gets it,
