Almost a Defeat.

A gentleman who came over the Cum
berland Valley railroad, II few years ago,
on train that had special car with
Grant, the then President, on board,
tells an anecdote There was no smok-
ing-car attached, and the gentleman
stood on platform desperately smoking
cigar he had bought at way station.
He noticed the President occasionally
looking that way, and finally railroad
official came out and said the General
had run ont of cigars-that he had been
envying the man on the platform for
some time, and had ut last begged him
to go out and see if he had any more ci-
CARS. Now, the gentleman was only too
happy-tirst, to accommodate the Presi-
dent of the United States, and, second,
to get rid of one of the worst cigars he
ever smoked. With this warming he sent
in his remaining weed. The General ac-
knowledged the courtesy by removing
his hat, and bit the end off of the cigar,
lighted it and looked happy. He had
taken but one or two puffs, however,
when he began to look queer. The
man on the platform watched him with
renewed interest. He saw him remove
the cigar and gaze thoughtfully at one
end, then the other. Then he put it
back and took another pull. Then he
removed it again, turned it i'll his hand
and looked it carefully over again.
Then he smelled it. Then he coughed
gently and looked at the man on the
platform, who was gazing innocently
across the fields. Then he looked out
of the car window, as if to see where he
might throw it without injuring any
body. He changed his mind, though,
sighed, took a desperate grip on the
stogy with his teeth, and, when last
seen by the giver, was still pulling

A Fighting Editors Work.

A Western editor, whose style of writ
ing was calculated to rouse people to
deeds of gore, being himself not much
on the muscle, found it necessary to
keep "A fighting editor, and he had
speaking tube connected with the heel
er's room to call him when danger re-
CURED. One day Il gentleman, whom
the editor had IT ferred to rs IA cross-eyed
dromedary, came in to request correc-
ton, and rs the fighting editor was out he
didn't respond to the signal of distress,
and while the editor and the visitor
were on the floor under the desk the
former agreed to correct the mistake
and the irate man left. Pretty soon
gentleman from the rural districts came
III to give the editor big squash and
get notice, and about that time the
fighting editor returned and boy in his
room told him his boss wanted help.
The man OF war was quick to respond, and
dashing into the chiefs room, and
seeing the latter in "a somewhat dam
aged condition, the result of his previous
visit, he thought the countryman was
the cause of it and clutched him, and after
STAYING up some furniture ran the victim
across the street to where an empty
hearse was standing in front of an un-
dertaker's shop. Into the vehicle he
jammed the farmer and slammed the
door. The commotion he had created
scared the horses and they started off on
dead run. People soon noticed the
runaway and ran after it and were
shocked at beholding the hearse col
hde with n post and become a complete
wreck; and their horror at seeing IA hui
man body precipitated to the sidewalk
was only equaled by their amazement
Mt seeing it spring nimbly to its feet and
take off across the country yelling MUIR
der. They thought it was an attempt
to bury man alive, and part of them
went to get the undertaken to lynch him,
while the rest pursued the farmer, who
was found hidden in swamp. And,
after he was brought in, it took over
three hours to get matters explained,
and then the farmer went before a
Justice of the Peace and made affida-
Wit that he hoped to be struck by

BARRATRY.
The Champion Litigant of the Age.


Perhaps the most remarkable case that
has occupied the attention of court in
this country for some time past is one
that was up before the circuit court of
Frederick county, Maryland, at the last
term. AT the February term of the
court, 1879, DIR. Harrison Wagner, of
Woodsboro, was indicted for being a
"common barrator." This is an offense
so rare that the learned counsel en-
gagged in the case were unable, in all
their II searches, to find more than half
dozen instances reported within as
many hundred years. The prosecutor
announced that the State was prepared
to prove that the defendant had brought
mnumerable actions against at least
fifty different persons in the county
upon purely fictitious causes of action.
AS an instance, he said that before Il
single magistrate, Justice John A. Will
son, of Wolfeville, Wagner had insti-
tuted nearly 1000 suits, us many as 1875
being against one person, 121 against
another, 120 against a third, ETC., In
deed, he had, said the attorney, pro-
vided Justice Wilson with large blank
book for a special docket in which to re-
cord these suits, and that this docket, a
ponderous volume, was filled with these
suits alone. Before Justice Eaton, of
Lewiston, Wagner had instituted 800
suits against a single defendant, the Adj
ans Express Company, the only sub
stantial ground of action being Off, in
deed, there was any an injury to a
package OF glycerine in transportation,
the damage amounting to n few dollars.
Before Justice Coblentz, of Middle
town, Wagner brought some fifty more
suits against different parties. Not one
of these parties owed a single dollar to
the prisoner. In many of the cases the
defendant made light of the matter, and
failed to appear for trial, SO that Wagner
obtained judgment by default. The
amount of these Judgments, which aver
aged about 800 each, was in the aggregate
at least 100000. This was the sub
stance of the States case, which they
proceeded to establish by evidence.
A point of law, however, was raised
by the defense, which knocked the case
endways, and cleared Wagner from the
charge of barratry. The defence OBJ
jected to any evidence of suits in Wag-
ner's own name, on the ground that
common barratry, for which the prisoner
was indicted consisted not III bringing
suit i'll ones own name, but in stirring
up suits among and melting third parties
to litigation. The defense argued that
when the prisoner was himself the liti-
CANT, if his suits were groundless and
malicious, the law supplied sufficient
remedy by mulcting him in costs and
rendering him also liable to action for
malicious prosecution that the law did
not intend to make it an indictable
offence, except when the offender at
tempted to escape all civil liability by
melting others to bring suits instead OF
bringing them himself. The court took
the subject under advisement, and after
ward announced its decision to be in
Wagner's favor, and ordered the dis
charge of the prisoner
