BENCH AND BARN TEXAS.

,Judson T. Mills, of South Carolina, was a
Judge in the District Court in Northern Tex
as, fond of joke, but very decided in his dis
charge of duty. Thomas Fannn Smith was
a practising lawyer at the bar, and having
shamefully misstated the law in his address
to the jury, turned to the Court and asked the
Judge to charge the jury accordingly. The
Judge was indignant and replied:
''Does the Counsel take the Court to be a
fool p
Smith was not abashed by the reproof, but
instantly responded:
81 trust your Honor will not insist OH an
answer to that question, as l might, in an
swering it, truly be considered guilty of con,
tempt of Court
''Fine the Counsel ten dollars, Mr.. Clerk p
said the Judge.
Smith Immediately paid the money, and re.
marked that it was ten dollars more than the
Court could show
''Fine Counsel fifty dollars - said the Judge.
The fine was entered by the Clerk, and Smith
not being ready to respond in that sum, sat
down. The next morning, on the opening OF
the Court, Smith rose, and with much defer
ence addressed the Judge:
MAY it please your Honor, the Clerk took
that little joke of yours, yesterday, about the
fifty dollars, as serious, as I perceive from
the reading of the minutes. Will your Honor
be pleased to inform him of his error and
have it erased?''
The GOODNESS of the request, and the implied
apology, pleased the Judge, and he remtted
the fine.
Judge Williamson, or Three-legged Willie
as he was familiarly called, was one of the
early Judges of Texas. In his Court, a lawyer
by the name of Charleton stated point OF
law, and the Court refused to admit the
COunsel's statement as sufficient proof.
''Your law, SIR" said the Judge; "give us
the book and page sir.''
''This is my law, sir,'' said Cbarleton, pull.
ling out pistol :; s'and this, sir, is my book, .
drawing bowie-knife ''and this is the page y
pointing the pistol toward the Court.
''Your law is not good SIR" said the un.
ruffled Judge 1.-THE proper authority is Colt
on Revolvers,'" and he brought a siX-shooteI
instantly to bear on the head Of the Counsel,
who lodged the point of the argument and
turned to the jury.
On another occasion the Judge concluded
the trial of a man for murder by sentencing
him to be hung that day. A petition was i'm
mediately signed by the bar, jury and people,
praying that longer time might be granted
the poor prisoner. The Judge replied to the
petition that ''the man had been found guilty
the Jail was very unsafe. and, besides, it was
50 very uncomfortable he did not think any
man ought to be required to stay in it any
longer than was necessary" The man was
hung

SAVE TIE BRA1N.-Do not overtax the
BRAIN No man should do more work of mus
cles or of brain in day than he can perfectly
recover from the fatigue in nights rest. Up
to that point, exercise is good; beyond are
waste of life, exhaustion and decay. When
hunger calls for food, and fatigue demands
rest, we are in the natural order, and keep the
balance of life When we take stimulants to
spur our jadcd nerves or excite an appetite,
we are wasting life. There is wrong and mis-
chief in all waste of life. A man should live
50 as to keep himself at his best, and with Il
true economy. To eat more food than is need
full is worse policy than tossing money into
the sea. 1t is waste of labor and a waste Of
life

had paid him. He refused it. She has begun
suit, and her lawyer assures her that as she
obeyed the directions in every particular, she
had a clear case. Memphis also has some liti-

ONIONS AND MALARIA.-A young man III
this place was recently taken down with mal;l-
rial fever, so pronounced by the family physi-
clan, his pulse marking one hundred. In the
evening the family determined to test the onion
cure. Several onions were accordingly bruised
and applied to the soles of his feet and to his
wrists; the consequence was thorough sweat

yer in the morning, the cure being complete.
