HUMAN JUSTICE.
Texas Siftings ]

1t must have frequently occurred to
the most casual observer of human
affairs, that justice is a mere mockery
The man who is bad is just as apt to en-
JOY health and happiness as the man
who goes to church and leads an exem-
plary life. In fact, it would seem as if
the good were singled on: for persecu-
ton. They certainly seem to have more
than their share of bad luck. An illus
trstion, on small scale, of how the bad
escape while the good are punished for
the sins of the bad, occurred in Austin a
short time ago.
A small cart, to which donkey was
attached, was left standing in front of a
schoolhouse. The driver had gone into
a neighboring saloon to slake his thirst.
The mischievous boys gathered around
the vehicle and proceeded to annoy the
animal by punching him in the abdomen
and other parts with sharp sticks. They
also impaired spiral shape to his tail
by twisting it. They also tied the
donkey's ears together much to the dis
comfort of the animal, but much to the
amusement of the urchiDs, who deserved
the severest punishment for their cruel
ty. Did the thunderbolts of heaven fall
upon them and destroy them? Hardly
any.
A small boy named Smith was stand
ing off a short distance looking on. He
had been n good boy even before he was
weaned. He never gave his friends any
trouble. He went to Sunday School and
brought home medals. 1t this affair he
was really sympathizing with the donkey.
He took no part whatever in the hazing
of the poor brute. On the contrary he
was shedding tears over the cruelty of

An Unpleasant Experience.

A newspaper correspondent lately
narrated an awkward experience 10
which the friend of lunatic was sub
jected.
She went to the asylum, without hav.
ing previously announced her intended
visit to the medical man, whose permis-
sion we should have thought was neces-
sary in such circumstances.
The porter, having admitted her, is
said to have duly passed her on TO one Of
the matrons with the words, 'To visit
female patient" but the nurse appears
to have caught only the last word of the
sentence, and mistake resulted which
cost the visitor good deal of unpleas-
antness, TO say the least of il.
The stranger was taken to the top of
the building, under the belief that she
was going &c see her friend, and then she
was suddenly shut into an empty room.
Shortly afterward a nurse entered, and,
to the CONSERVATION of the visitor, at
once proceeded to undress her. Protes-
tatlon and remonstrances were alike un-
availing, and firmly, though not un-
kindly, the poor woman was stripped
and placed in bath, after which she
was fOrcibly put to bed.
By this time the mistaken lunatic was
of course in frantic state of alarm,
which only favored the belief that she
was really mad woman.
Where this gruesome farce might have
ended it is not pleasant to contemplate,
but by lucky sceident the mistake
was discovered later in the day, and the
unfortunate woman was set ST liberty
with protHse apologies. 1t is satisfactory
to hear, under the circumstances, that
no complaint has been made as to undue
severity on the part Of the nurse, rs -
sometimes the case in private asyluns.

"They went into the arsenal and

IArkansaw Traveler.l

Not every man who is ragged, home
less, penniless, and friendIess is tramp
in the usual scceptation of the word. So
many horrible crimes have been COM
mitted by tramps, that by the term
tramp we mean wild beast bearing
some resemblance to human being,
who goes about like the spirit of evil
There are men who have been made
tramps by circumstances over which
they had no control, and who have
neither the courage nor the desire to
commit the slightest wrong. They are
merely walking about to save funeral
expenses. Life has no charm for them,
but they lack the courage to commit
suicide. Like Hamlet, they prefer to
"bear the ills they have rather than fly
to others that they know not Of"
The other day an old fellow who wore
a dingy blue scarf, around his neck, sat
down i'm the sunshine with his back
against box. Everybody seemed to be
merry, and the boys gathered around and
made sport of the old fellow.
"Say," called Miles Order, "when'd

IF he gets hold of you there will be
fun" said freckled face youngster with
a cat fish mouth.
Think so, Guinea eggs?" replied
Miles. "We'll just see. l amt afraid
of him."
Miles crept up carefully, dropped the
fire cracker behind the old fellow, and
ran away.
Then the boys laughed at Miles.
He's an old timer, sure enough" de-
clared Miles. Come, let's all 90 up; he
can't hurt u.s."
They approached. "Mister, we don't
mean no HARM" said Miles; Eve only

bis fondest religious beliefs than "Old
Jew Palmer" did for his beard. He was
not An 'old Jew" at all, but was called
so fifty years ago on account of his long
and venerable beard. He was looked
upon as a monster and fiend, and his
name was used to brighten little chill
dren with
Every body else was shaved clean; so
he was booted at in the streets, talked
about in the country store, bullied by
his ueighbors, wrestled with by the
clergyman, in the vain hope that he
wodld consent to follow Samson's ex-
ample and ''be as other men" by having
his hair cut.
Once four men arrived with shears,
laid violent hands upon him for the pur-
pose of removing the obnoxious appen-
dage whether or no. He struggled
against his fate, but was nearly over
powered, when he drew his jsck-knife
and freed himself by stabbing two of his
assailants in the legs.
For refusing to pay the fine imposed
he remained in Jail over year, but was
finally released
His wearing a beard was probably not
his only, even if his chief, offense. He
was violent anti-slavery man, aud be.
lieved in total abstinence, so that his
beard was partly pretext for his treat
ment. His refusal to furnish liquor to
his men in the hay field also made him
very unpopular. And good deal of
light is thrown upon the liquor question
of that time by mothers refusal on
this account to let her boy work for him.
"He is too mean to allow the boys lit
tie liquor, she said.
The wearing of the beard itself in
those days, although considered barbar-
Gus and outlandish, was generally the
mode of broad protest against the
whole established order of things; wheth-
er it was slavery, liquor drinking or
male suffrage. The long hair and beard
were the reforms which their wearers
advocate-what the red flag is to COM
munism, OF the wearing of the green" to
Irish independence.
