Judge Thatcher, who succeeded Mr..
Quincy on the municipal bench of
Boston, was man of stern and I'M
bending temper. One of his prison
ers, in addressing the court previous
to sentence, used the words "also" and
"likewise" in a way which implied a
difference of meaning. "Do you know
of any difference between the words
"also" and "likewise?" asked the
Judge. "Yes, your honor" replied
the prisoner. Judge Quincy was pa

FAST HoRsEs. The standard trot-
ter is one that can cover mile in
$50. 1t is said that less than 600 of
all the horses raised and trained in the
United States have this record. The
number that can trot in POO bear the
ratio Of | to 1888 horses raised. As
a business the breeding Of fast horses
is therefore very much of a lottery;
and when we recall the fact that the
high prices which famous colts have
brought have rarely been received by
the men who raised them, the prizes in
breeding and training trotters are few
and uncertain.

man tried in vain to shoot. The
sportsman was breakfasting. when
suddenly a servant entered the room
and exclaimed that there was hare
on the lawn. The sportsman rose from
the table, took his gun, which stood
loaded in the hall, and, rushing to the
door, fired eagerly at his harmless
foe. The hare, however, on this oe-
casion, seemed less harmless than us.

had been expected to do, he took up a
pistol and fired it mt his assailant. The
hare was a performing animal from a
neighboring Fair, and had been
brought to the country house to mys-
tify the mighty hunter, whose powder
and shot on this occasion had been
replaced by a blank cartridge.
