A NEW GEORGE WASHINGTON.

The following anecdote from Judge
Carter's book, shows how lawyer John
Brough-a very able man In his day-was
beaten by a darby witness. A mulatto
was on trial for murder. Among the
States witnesses was an old darby who
answered to the name of George Washing
ton. His evidence was strong against the
prisoner, and Mr.. Brough desired to weak
en- it by throwing ridicule on the old
negro.
Lawyer B.-"So your name is George
Washington"
Witness Yes, sab, dat be my pella-
tion."
Lawyer" Where did you get that
pellation ?"
Witness WAY down in ole Yirginny,
sah."
Lawyer" From whom did you get it p
Witness" Well, now you hab me, boss.
Dunno
Lawyer-"Are you son of General
George Washington, the father of his
country
Witness-"W Well, 1 spec 1 be. If he
was de fodder OBJ all dis country, he must
hab ben de fodder OBJ de black folks as
well as de fodder OBJ de white folks, and
as be one OBJ dem black folks, he must
hab ben my fodder as well as de rest.
LAWYER" Don't you know that the
great George Washington never told lie 2
Witness" OATS what UNI say, and in
dis 'ticular | much sembles him, TO neb-
Der tole no lies in de whole curse of my
Dressed life, sab.
Lawyer" And you have told no lie
about this case -
Witness" Why, Dress de Lord no,
honey, no Is tole muffin but de whole
trufe."
Lawyer" Couldn't you have made
some mistakes in your testimony"
Witness Dunno bout dat. We all
be po' sinners here below, and rs one of
dem fellows here below, shuah !; an Is a
sinner, shuah.
Lawyer" You are good witness for
the State, Mr. George Washington, and l
want to call your attention to the facts.
Witness Thank you, sab, TO de COM
pliment but you can't fool dis niggah.
Is great on de faces; l knows dem all fust
rate, sah."
Lawyer" Please state how long time
elapsed between the act of Bill Perkins 8
throwing the knife over the table at the
BODY of the deceased and the deceased's
calling Bill Perkins scoundrel and liar.
Be particular about this.
Witness Well, boss, l didn't hab no
watch-I's not able to carry one. And if
l had one at such 'larmin' time, l
shouldn't looked at it to count de minutes
an de seconds but if my memory be jes
so, it be my 'pinion dere was s'icient time
tween times fo'-dat murderin' Bill Perkins
to demediate and preliberate; deere was
plenty time, in my 'pinion, 70 murder IN
de fust degree to be Matched out.
Mr.. Brough saw he was not eliciting
anything favorable from the darby, who
seemed in his peculiar way to be posted in
law, SO he said: 1--WE don't desire your
legal opinion, Mr.. George Washington.
You're no lawyer. You may leave the
stand"
Witness" Bress de Lord, I'm not one
OBJ de perfession. wouldn't tell as many
lies as dey do for de whole world. Tank
you, sab l be glad to give up my place tc
de next gemman.
Thanks to Mr.. Brough's eloquence, MIR
William Perkins was convicted of murder
IN the second degree, and therefore es
capped the hanging so much desiderated by
the good colored G. Washington. L Har

THE LETTER "E."- is well known
that the letter sc" is used more than any
letter in the English alphabet, and for that
reason the sc" box before the printer is
larger than any other box in his lower case
of type. To show, however, that this par
ticular letter is not at all necessary to good
composition genius has composed the fol-
lowing verses, which contain every letter
in the alphabet except the letter "e:'
jovial swain should not complain
OF any buxom fair
Who mocks his pain and thinks il gain
To quiz his awkward air.
Quixotic boys who look for joys
Quixotic hazards run;
lass annoys with trivial toys,
Opposing man for fun.
A jovial swain may rack his brain,
And tax his fancy's might;
To quiz in vain, for It's most plain
That what say is right.

THEIR SOLEMN OATH. The following
is the oath of mutual confidence taken by
a great number OF respectable Transvaal
Boers at the Wonderfontein meeting "In
the presence of Almighty God, the searcher
of hearts, and praying for His gracious
assistance and mercy, we, burghers OF the
South African Republic, have solemnly
agreed, for us and for our children, to
unite in a holy covenant, which we confirm
with solemn oath. 1t is now forty years
since our fathers left the Cape Colony to
become a free and independent people
These forty years have been years Of sor-
row and suffering. We have founded Ma.
tai, the Orange Free State of the South
African Republic tTrsnsvaan, ard three
times has the English Government tram
pied on our liberties, and our flag Dap.
TIED with the blood and tears OF our
fathers, has been pulled down. As by
a thief in the night has our free
republic been stolen from US. We can
not suffer this, and we may not. 1t is
the will Of God that the unity of our
fathers and the love of our children should
oblige us to deliver unto our children, I'M
blemished, the heritage of our fathers. 1t
is for this reason that we here unite and
give each other the hand, as men and
brethren, solemnly promising to be faithful
to our country and people, and, looking
unto God, to work together unto death for
the restoration of the liberty Of our repub-
lie. So truly help us, God Almighty.

that produced by the escape of steam
from the exhaust pipe OF an engine.
Mr.. Canava remarked that he thought
that was strange place to have mill,
upon which his companion rejoined
that the sound came from the cars on
the railway.
But it seems both gentlemen were
wide OF the mark, for in few seconds
they saw emerge from the rushes an
extraordinary creature, havinga head
as large as that of an adult human
being, and body resembling a serpent
and increasing in thickness downward.
1t seemed frightened and made a
peculiar putting sound like a small
engine. After going out into deep
water it stopped for a short time, and
with the cessation of locomotion, there
was an end to the putting noise already
referred to. Mr.. Canava and his com
panion propelled their boat forward
short distance to have a better view of
the creature, upon which the putting
recommended more vigorously than
before, and it moved off at the rate of
about fifteen miles an hour. 1t carried
its head about three feet out of the
water as it went. The above is the
strangest Of the many strange stories
recently told about sea-serpents, but
the reciter Of it is, Mr.. Gibbs says,
trustworthy, and there seems no rea-
sonable ground for withholding its
in the presence Of any
other objection than it is somewhat
strange story.
