A Judges Workmanship.

The late Recorder Hackctt, of New
York, was a remarkably good pistol
shot. and in connection with his skill
in that particular the following anec'
dote is told: The scene was laid at the
Mission Dolores, near San Francisco,
back in the tifties, when Mr.. Hackett
was a rising young lawyer, in California,
but better known for his skill with a
pistol. He had been accustomed to dis
play his skill with q pistol by shooting
apples off the head and coins from the
fingers of lad of good nerve, who had
perhaps rs much confidence in Mr..
Hackctt's skill rs the lawyer himself,
and one day after little dinner party,
special exhibition was to be given.
This time Mr.. Hackett was to cleave an
apple on the lads head at ten PAGES.
But before the time came, 4 practical
joker in the party bribed the boy to rs.
sist in a joke on Mr.. Hackett calculated
to try his nerve. The boy was carefully
drilled in his part. He was to carry in
his hand, unseen by MIR. Hackett, a elot
of blood -colored paint, and at the report
of the pistol was to spin around with a
Jcil, CIitp Iilc pitinG W LIS lOlelIc't't si>
his back was turned to the marksman,
spring spasmodically into the air, and
pitch leadlong to the ground. as ifdead,
All this was done, and we'll done, in the
presence of the party. when Mr..
Hackett fired. and they waited anxiously
for him to rush forward, Mortified a,
the result of his shot, and remorselcssly
bend over his victim. But, quite con.
trary to expectation, the lnarksman
smiled quietly, took q cigar from his
pocket and coolly lighted il, and waited
patictly for the lad to get up. Hackett's
friends could never quite determine
whether his perfect confidence in his
skill led him to know that the boy was
not hurt or whether the joke had leaked
out in some way. But ut all events his
confidence in his skill seemed to be
boundless, and he never hesitated to
undertake feats that appeared foolhardy,
but which fortunately always resulted
successfully.

TWeaking His Own Nose.

If the correspondents don't belle him,
DIR. Oliver Wendell Holmes is 4 good
deal of a wag outside of his books. The
story goes that he wagered a friend that
he could make DR.. Osgood, the pub
Usher, tweak his own nose. This
seemed so absurd to the friend, who
had conceived a high notion of Osgood's
dignity, that the wager was accepted.
After the business of 4 call on Osgood
was concluded, Holmes artfully led vne
conversation up to the subject of uoses,
q particular in which Osgood was not
deficient. Have you not noticed
DOCTOR" said Holmes, that all men OF
intellect and great character have large
noses?" A pause cnsued, when, to the
ioker's delight. Mr.. Osgood responded :
"It is, believe, an indisputable fact, "
and, as he spoke, slow 'sing his hand
to his nasal appeIuase, L" lowing its
outlines with the thumb and forctinger,
and concluding with gentle satisfied
tweak or rather pull. rs if to see that
the whole of the intellectual feature was

A Botanical Usurper.

A curious instance Of the invasion of
a country by plant of foreign origin is
seen in the history of the mango in
Jamali. In 1882 specimens of the cinna-
mon. jack-fruit and mango were sent to
the botanical garden of the island.
There the cinnamon was carefully
fost, red, but proved to he difficult OF
culture on the island; while the mango,
which was neglected, became in eleven
years as common rs the orange. spread
ing over lowlands and mountains from
the sea- level to 5000 feet cleuation. OA
the abolition of slavery, immense tracts
of land, especially coffee plantations,
relapsed into state of nature, and the
mango being 4 favorite fruit with the
blacks, it's stones were flung every
where, giving rise to groves along the
roadsides and along the settlements;
and the fruits of these again. rolling
down hill. gave rise to forests IN the
valleys. The effect of this spread OF the
mango has been to cover hundreds OF
thousands of acres, and to amelIorate
the climate of what were dry and bnr,
rem districts by producing moisture and
shade and by retaining the ralnfalis that
had previously evaporated; all this, be-
sides afjording food for several months
of the year to both negroes and horses.
