AnecdOte of a Justice.

About thirty years ago, when
Thomas Il. Sherwood, the newly
elected justice of the Michigan supreme
court, was a younger man than
he is now, there was a lawyer
living in Kalamazoo named n. A. b.
B. was the possessor of most irasci-
BILE temper, and when things did not
go to suit him he was apt to lose it,
and in the excitement used to throw
inkstands, compiled laws, supreme
court reports and other missiles handy,
at offending lawyers heads. This
would be followed by an arrest and
fine for contempt of court, and deep
repentance. j. was a member Of the
church, and after one of his outbreaks
he would make public confession, ex-
press deep contrition and be forgiven.
After while these outbursts of
passion got to ne great nuisance, and
the lawyers agreed that the next time
he got on the rampage the man toward
whom his wrath was directed was to
take up the quarrel and give Mr.. b.
what Paddy gave the drum. At the
next term of court Judge Sherwood
made some remark which enraged
Mr.. b., who promptly reciprocated by
firing copy of the session laws at his
head. Sherwood responded with his
good right arm, and in less than
minute the lawyers had formed a ring
and Sherwood was knocking B. out in
truly scientific style. Soon b. cried
enough" but was so used up that he
had to keep his bed for a week. The
Judge fined each of the fighters 800.
A popular subscription was raised,
the business men of the city chipping
in, and Mr.. Sherwood's fine was paid.
When able to get out Mr.. B. again
confessed to his fellow church men,
bers, and he was forgiven. These two
events, being knocked out and Mr..
Sherwood's fine being paid by popular
subscription, were too much for B.;
his proud spirit was broken, and ever
after he kept his temper and eschewed
emphasizing his arguments by the aid
of missiles.

Shoes Of q New Sort.

About $50 prisoners in the Mary

manufacture of merino shoes. The
merinO shoe is made of coarse wool

the usual processes of cleaning and
carding at the penitentiary, and is then
steamed, hardened and made into a
tough. pliable cloth about twice the
thickness of ordinary shoe leather, and
in general appearance not unlike the
uppers in arctic overshoes. The soles
are made in the same way, of the
same material, but are harder and
heavier. The shoes are not imperyi-
GUS to water, but are intended for use
principally in the dry, cold climates of
the North. 1t is stated that, no mat
ter how low the temperature, the feet
will never get cold Nh1n encas | in
