Judge Beiford's Dog.

The most noted dog in Colorado is
an English deer-hound, the property of
EX-Congressman James b. Belford.
He is known throughout the State as
Spot, having been the companion of
Judge Belford in most of his Con-
gressional campaigns. When Bedford
was on the stump and got off some
thing good, Spot would raise a little
more noise about it than any of The
other auditors, and would keep up
such protracted howl at times that
the crowd would join in giving his
master three cheers and a tiger. When
Bedford went TO practice at the bar III
the morning. or TO take something to
cheer him, Spot never failed to 90
along and take his hbation in the
shape of 4 strong cocktail. He was
never known TO get ''otf his pins" as
the saying is, although it was the de-
light of the Judges constituents to
treat Spot with distinguished consider
alton when the pair were making the
circuit in the campaign. He was
known TO all the railroad men, and
would travel from Denver or any 9TH
or point in the State TO the Judges
home in Central City when he thought
the electioneering business had lasted
about long enough.-St. LOUIS Globe

There are men in this very town"
said Sam Jones recently in Murfrees-
boro, who meet neighbor's wife on
the street and take off their hats and
bow and smile as sweet and tenderly
and say, How are you, MADAME and
then go home and wound their own
wives with their tongues. Clever to
all wives but their own. And so it is
with some wives; they are all smiles
and kind words in company, and cut
their husbands to the heart with their
tongues. God pity the man who has
such wife as that

boundless field for study. A year or two

An Old Deed.

Hon. John Fox Potter of Wisconsin sends
the Transcript deed of Crotch Island, in
Casco Bay, a document yellow with age,
having been executed May %, 1764. In his
note accompanying it he says: at seems a
little queer that such an old deed of an
island in Casco Bay, Me-, should turn up out
here in the West. But my immediate an
cestors were, for many generations back,
natives of Old Falmouth, and / can now
look back with longing eyes to the old home
of my dear mother, who loved it so WELL"
Mr.. Potter will be remembered by multi
tudes of our older readers, as a brave cham
pion of Free Soil in Congress, in the DAYS
when it required the highest sort of personal
courage to express and maintain ones
opinions in that body. The time-stained
deed before us was given by "Moses Pear
son of Falmouth and jeremiah Powell of
North Yarmouth, in the County of Cumber-
land, and Province of Massachusetts Bay,
Esqrs., for and in consideration of fifty
pounds" paid by Eunice Pearson of Fall
mouth, spinster. 1t grants the title to a
certain island lying in Casco Bay, in the
town of Falmouth, in part, and partly in
North Yarmouth, and known by the name
of Crotch Island, lying northwesterly of
JEWELS Island, and southeasterly of Great
Shebague." The deed appears to be in the
handwriting of Jonathan Bayly, by whom it
was witnessed, Sin the fourth year of his
majesty's reign Theophilus Bradbury's
neat signature is also appended as that of
witness. 1t is acknowledged before 'Enoch
Freeman, just Pacis," and the certificate of
registry is also signed by Enoch Freeman as

BOUQUET BILLY.
Judge Virgin Remands the Prisoner

The habeas corpus hearing in the case of
Bouquet Billy was had before Judge Vir-
gin Yesterday morning. TWAS contended by
Hon. W. F. Lunt, that after Beaucleigh's ar
rest by Detective True last Monday he should
have been Immediately taken before Judge
Gould for hearing. Instead of that he was
held thirty hours without hearing before
the municipal court
Hon. c. F. Libby appeared as counsel for
Detective True. The prisoner was identified
as the person wanted in st. Louis to the sat
isfaction of the judge. Judge Virgin in
rendering his decision stated that he thought
the proceedings were irregular but that it
would do no good to discharge the prisoner,
since he could be Immediately rearrested.
He therefore ordered Beaucleigh back to
jail. The prisoner was delivered to Officer
Mckinney of ST. Louis who started with
him for Missouri on the noon train.
Judge Gould states with reference to the
proceedings that he issued a warrant for
Beaucleigh's arrest, who was taken into
custody Monday. Detective True stated
that he should have a hearing before Gov
ernor ROBBIE Tuesday. Judge Gould then de-
cided to continue the case in the municipal
court until Wednesday, in order to save two
hearings. If the writ of habeas corpus had
not been obtained Beaucleigh would have
been brought before the municipal court yes
terday morning.
Yesterday afternoon Beaucleigh, through
his counsel, Hon. w. F. Lunt, brought suit
of trespass against Detective True, on the
ground of illegal imprisonment Beaucleigh
will not be here to prosecute his suit but his
counsel can do it for him.
