The Old Style of Jersey Justice.

Some years ago distinguished men,
ber of the New York bar was retained
on one occasion by friend, also New
Yorker, to attend to a complaint made
against him before New Jersey justice
for an alleged assault and battery upon
one of the residents of the sold Jersey
State"

counselor to the modern Dogberry.
"You abbears for de bris'ner, do
you?-and who den be you ?" inter.
rupted the justice, eyeing him from head
to foot with marked curiosity. Sc ton't
knows you. ar pes you come from,
and vot's yer name?"
The counselor modestly gave his
name, and: "I am a member of the
New York bar"
"Vell, den, replied the justice, "you
CANT bractis in dis here gort."
81 am a counselor of the Supreme
Court of the State Of New York." re-
iterated the attorney.
"Dat makes noting tifferent," said
the inveterate justice.
Well, then," said the bafHed lawyer,
"suppose I show to your Honor that 1
am counselor of the Supreme Court
of the United States ?'
1t ton't make pit peter" replied
he of the ermine, "you amt counselor
Won de State of New Jarsey, und you

On another occasion the same digni-
ry said to jury, who had been listen
ing to trial " before him of an un-
fortunate fellow for some offense against
the State:

A Fearless Judge.

I once heard this anecdote of Judge
Parsons, the great Massachusetts advo-
cate and lawyer. 1t is said that bein 3
about to try mercantile case, he Or
dered jury to be summoned, and among
the names was that of Colonel Thos. FL.
Perkins, the leading merchant of Bos-
ton in that day, and a personal friend of
Judge Parsons. When the officer made
his return, he laid down fifty dollar bill
before the Judge.
"What is that ?" said Parsons.
"Colonel Perkins says he is very busy
indeed, to-day, and prefers to pay his
fine."
s'Take that back to Colonel Perkins, >
said the judge, ''and tell him to come
here at once and if he refuses, bring
him by force"
When Colonel Perkins appeared, the
Judge looked sternly at him, and said
"What do you mean, sir, by sending
money when you were summoned to sit
on this jury?'

happens it that you are able to fit out a
ship for the East Indies ?"
'Your honor, 1 do not understand
you"
"I repeat, then, my question: How
is it that you are able to fit out ship
for the East Indies p If you do not
know, 1 will tell you. It is because the
laws of your country are properly ad,
ministered. If they were not, you would
have no ships. Take your seat, sir, witt

"say, Gap, what are you going to dc

"Move by the flank to the left of the

"All right-iust as soon move as not. >
After the company had held its new
position for a quarter of an hour there
came another order, and the recruit
asked:
"Say, Gap, which way now?"
"Going to advance"
"All right, I'm with you"
The company moved forward with the
line and was presently hotly engaged
with Jackson's men. They had not
been at it over five minutes when the re.
cruit slid up to the captain and shouted
"Say, Cap, holler as loud as you can

"What in thunder do you mean

Obliging a Preacher.

Just back of Missionary Ridge, Chat
tanooga, while following the highway to
reach Tunnel Hill, came across little
church half hidden in the woods. The
building was primitive, and the old dar-
key who sat on log near the door was
more so. After I had made inquiries
about the route and was ready to go on
he said:
"Better git down, boss, an come in
to meetln'."
"Do you hold services this after

bout five minits, an I specs de sermon
will be powerful one."
It didn't seem just right to be riding
around the country on Sunday, and so
got down and took a seat beside the
old man. After few minutes spent in
general talk, he said it was time to go
in. I followed after him, and found
myself the sole audience. I next found
that he was the preacher who was going
to preach the powerful sermon. He
opened services in regular form, and
with all due solemnity, and then an
nounced his text and began preaching.
I stood it for fifty-five minutes, and
then, as he had only reached "second

eyes, and then made a slide for the
door. 1t no go. 1 hadn't gone six

"Oh, don't do that. You can 60 on

"But you see dar' mus be colleck-
shun tooken up arter de Sermon" he
protested in anxious tones. "If you'll
obleege me by takin' seat I'll sing a

sat down, and when he had read and
sang hymn, he passed the hat, trans
ferred the quarter to his vest pocket and
observed as we went out:

The IsTHMUs. Us.-Considerable progress
is beng made in reviving the mining in
dustries of the Isthmus of Panama. For
many years its mines excited the cupid
ity of Spaniards and buccaneers. In
dians and negro slaves were made to
work in quartz by the most primitive
processes, and almost entirely without
machinery, yet their Iabors were very
productive, according to tradition. 1t
is centuries, however, since most of the
mines were abandoned. Some were
worked out, others were not rich enough
to pay with hired labor, and all required
an investment of capital which the un-
settled condition of the country, and es-
pecially the fear all foreigners enter
tained for isthmus fever, effectually
prevented from being made.

WORSHIP IN THE WOODS

How rich the embroidered carpet spread,
On either side the common way;
Azure and purple, gold and red,
Russet and white, and green and gray,
With shades between,
Woven with light in looms unseen.
The dandelion's disk of gold,
With lustre decks the meadows green,
And multiplied million fold,
The daisy lights the veydant scene;
The blue mints plumes
Invite the bees to their perfumes
A wrinded ribbon seems the road,
Unspooled from silent hills afar;
Rest, like an angel, lifts the load
And in my path lets down the bar,
And here it brings
A lease Of life on healing wings.
The summer leisure of the cloud
That wanders with its trum peter,
The wind, is mine no wrangling crowd
Annoys the humble worshiper
In the white tent
Beneath listening armament,
Up-aoating on the ambient air,
Sweet songs of sacred music rise.
And now voice distinct in prayer,
Like the lark's hymn, reaches the skies,
And the "Amen"
Is echoed from the hills and glen.
The wood a vass cathedral seems,
Its dome the overarching sky;
The light through trembling branche
streams
From open windows lifted high;
Under the frs
Soft shadows shields the worshipers.

by clearer conception of the nature
of his obligations and without heartier
leauing toward his manly and honorable
profession. The representations of the
sailor. even in the hands OF men who
very we'll knew what they were about,
have been, for the most part, SO over
charged with Jacks traditional rather
J than actual infrmities, as to render
the portrait little better than
carieature. From this defect two
writer's only have been free; and strange
ly enough they are both Americans.
The one is Dana and the other is Her
man Melville. But they were both OF
them men who had lived In the forecas-
tie; their knowledge was not obtained
by quarterback glimpses. but by enter
ing and dwelling in Jacks parlor, sitting
in his bunk, drinking out Of his panni-
kin, diving into the mess-k and turn
ing out ''all standing" to sl-'ry of SAL
hands p And, in truth, only men who
have served before the mast are capable
of thoroughly understanding sailors.
What hand but an able seaman's could
have depicted the forecastle as we see it
in "Two Years Before the Mast" and
more family in Melville's "Omoo?" In
the former work, the lamp, burning fee
bly,, swings from the blanckened beam;
it is bitterly cold, for Cape Horn blast
is bowling the little vessel down to her
waterways, and the air is blind with
snow; the watch on deck have come be-
low wet through, and their clothes stiff
with ice; but their other clothes are wet
too, and all they can do is to feel over
them for the driest and put them on; the
gale keeps the forecastle humming as
though it were full of locusts, but every
now and again the thunderous blow of
sea breaks in upon this strange chant
ing, and the deck overhead roars under
the discharge of slashing weight of
water; some of the men turn in without
removing their clothes, others seat them
selves on the chests with their ice-cold
hands buried in their trousers pockets,
not choosing to lie down, for any mo-
ment the scuttle may be beaten over
head to the hoarse cry OF "All hands
tumble up, men, tumble up before it is
upon us I" The sailor, as he looks at
the picture, lives in it. He has gone
through it all, and knows that it is true
and real as if he were there listening to
the groaning of the bulkheads. And
now the great-hearted seaman who loved
Jack so heartily, and strove to serve him
so nobly, has shaken his shipmates by
the hand, and the great deep of death
has closed forever over his honored head.
But his generous, loyal mind lives still,
and must live while there remains an
English-speaking mariner afoat, to plead
for the sailor and to beg compassionate
regard and care for him. As his life was
devoted to the seaman's cause, so his
honorable ambition may find even in his
death fruitful soil, if by dying he
shall give fresh impulse to his inimita-
BILE and incompatible book.

Remarkable Gambling.

The Malays have at all times been ad-
dicted to gambling. In those days, in
Ceylon, they would "play away the ends
of their fingers" over the draught.board.
They would sit down with fire burn
ing, whereon was set pot of walnut or
sesame oil, while beside it lay a small
hatchet with an exceedingly sharp edge.
The loser placed his hand upon stone,
and the winner chopped off a pint, when
the mutilated finger was plunged into
the boiling oil and thereby cauterized.

skilful or unlucky, had every fngec

WHO SAW IT'S BLACK HAIR AND BIG
HORNS.
A letter from Monmouth Beach, Mas
sachuaetts, says: Charles Ell. Pierce,
Capt. David E. Ginlet, H. E. Founce,
and William Vaughan, of Hartford,
Connecticut, four young men who have
been camping along the shores of the
bay, relate the following exciting story
of their journey across from New Bed
ford to Wings Neck light: We left
New Bedford Monday at o'clock p. m.
in the yacht Josie, accompanied by our
sailing master, Capt. Walter Briggs.
When two miles off the south end OF
Bird Island light, at the entrance OF
Buzzard Bay, one of the company
called our attention to a singular-look-
ing object about half a mile ahead and
some points off our port bow. Our cap
tain called it sea horse. Again, he
thought its movements IN the water did
not resemble those of any fish he had
ever saw.
"We soon ascertained that whatever
it was it was propellipg itself at fearful
rate of speed through the water, and
making almost a straight line for our
little craft. When within few thou
sand feet of us it seemed to raise its i'm
mense body, or neck, some ten feet out
of the water, and, at the same time,
fuaptu foot in tho roor 20 70 II WOO caap
to rise up, and at times lash the water.
All at once the fish or serpent vanished
from sight. For over ten minutes we
sailed along, and were near the black
buoy not far distant from Wings Neck
Light, when looking back, to our horror
and dismay, we observed the mysterious
fish again making direct for our boat at
most rapid rate. When within twenty
five yards of our craft it partly disap-
peared, but in an instant was seen to
shoot out of the water with sort OF
humming or kissing sound, and with a
distinct bark like that of dog. Then
it dove again and was lost to sight. The
length of this mysterious fish was twen-
ty-five or more feet. Its body was about
two feet in circumference, decreasing
regularly toward the point of the tail,
when it seemed but the size of child g
wrist. Its color was dark gray, but re-
sembling that of the back of crocodile.
The belly was a bright yellow, with
dark red spots scattered here and there,
while its tail was covered with short
thick black hair. The head resembled
that of bulldog. Great fat ears were
distinctly seen on either side of its ugly
jaws, while two extremely long feelers
or horns protruded just over the ears.
The eyes were sharp and fiery"
It is said that a similar creature was
seen in the bay two years ago. The mem
bers of the party are all trustworthy
persons, and vouch for the truth OF the
narrative.
