A Characteristic Witness.
New Orleans Tines-Democrat.

1t was one of the old, familiar, and
plentiful cases of issues, abuse and
threats. The witness was big, black,
and greasy negro woman; the defen-
dant small puny, and timid- looking
mulattress. The first had all the pro-
portions of one able to take care of
herself; the other as if she needed a
protector. The big one, however, pro-
fessed to be afraid of the little one,
and swore heavily to that effect. She
produced a negro named Sam Johnson
to substantiate the fact.
"Where do you live9" asked Judge
Ford of the witness.
"Sir?"
Where do you lrve?"
In town, sir"
Whereabouts?"
Back of town."
How for back?"
" Away back"
" Look here" said the judge, "you
must answer my questions.
Yes, SIR"

" When you are at home you don't

"Oh, yes; lives in Vicksburg."
" How long since you have been in
Vicksburg?"
-Four years.
" Now, see here, ! have stood you
long enough, and unless you answer
me correctly, I shall send you down."
" Well, you see, as told, / lives on

"Well?"

"The number?"
"Not many numbers out dat way,

"Dar's none on it" in an alar med
ton.
What do you know about this
case?"
Nothing, sir; I was out of town
dat day, sure"
" We'll, I have been thirty minutes
getting this out of you. So [ will
just give you thirty hours parish pris-
on, SO as to hasten you up next time"

that is true. 1t did not hurt me any
when my legs were shot off; in fact.
| scarcely felt it. They were taken
off by a fragment of a shell, and
there was only a feeling of being
stunned for a moment. I suffered
more from the consciousness that thew
were off and from the unpleasant
sight | presented than from the feel
ing. They did not even bleed. A
half hour afterwards, however, they
began to burn, ana there was some
sensation Of pain when the surgical
operation was being performed,
though not very much. The first
operation was successful, but in being
transported over corduroy roads, as L
was to be, the pressure and anxiety
was so great that the flaps of skin
which had been sewed gave away,
and when reached Boston it became
necessary to have a second amputa-
ton. This was done in the presence
OF class of medical students, but was
not well done, and the consequence
was that a few months later [ had to
have a third amputetIon performed.
But 1t is over now, and [ consider
myself quite well. | get around o
