the section of the saloon license that
prescribes no bar-room shall be per-

licenses for bar-rooms within that dis
lance where a corner building was oc-

Many amusing stories are told of the
way in which Cinnamon give evidence
in Christian courts of Justice. In Eng
land it is the custom to break delicate
china saucer over the herd of the
Chinese witness; and this is supposed
to insure truth-telling. There was a
Chinese witness in trial which was
recently held in San Francisco. o.The
fed that the witness understood the
object of the form no had just gone
through, asked him as usual in such
cases, if he understood the nature OF an
oath. "Perfectly," replied the wltne IS
with the utmost confidence; 81 know
that if tell lie every one in the court
will be damned" An equally anus
ing illustration of the ignorance of the
Chinese in the matter of our judicial
oath was furnished some time ago by
the native usher in the Consular Court
at ShaDghae. He was observed to be
making an anxious search for some
missing object; and on being question.
ed by the Judge, he stated that he was
looking for the little book which is CIV

this man had been for eighteen years

A letter from York, Maine, in re-
lation to the old church in that town
reminds correspondent of an anecdote
told by the venerable Parson Moody,
who was once pastor of the church.
He was good man and good minis
ter, and had ways of his own for re-
bnking sin. He once lost some meat
from his cellar and thought he knew
who the thief was, but lacked proof.
The next Sunday he stopped short in
his sermon and exclaimed, "The man
who stole the meat from me will wipe
the feather of his nose" The suspect
ed man at once convicted himself by
drawing his hand across his face.
