His Banjo Saved Him.

Charles Marion, one of the talented
performers, OF the Marion brothers, now
playing at the Fashion, tells good story
on himself and a democratic judge. and
how his banjo music saved him from
sentence to the "pen" on charge of
illegal voting. While filling an engage
ment at Niagara Falls during the last
presidential election he was solicited to
vote for democratic judge, but instead
voted the straight republican ticket. He
was not familiar with the laws,
requiring certain number OF
months residence to be entitled to
vote, and was consequently arrested
next day. Young Marion was pretty
badly scared and began to think he
would have to serve six months at least.
lie put his wits together" to devise
planf how to get out the scrape. He in
vited the marshal and the judge and
few other of the officers down to see
the show, and literally set up the wine
and other kinds of soda water and fairly
did his best playing on the banjo. The
trial being set for the next day Marion
promptly APP cared in court, took with
him his banjo, and as the judge called
his court to order, he (Marion) struck up
a lively old plantation breakdown on his
instrument, one of the same tunes he
had played for the judge the night be-
fore. The Judge at once discharged his
prisoner, adjourning court without
much ceremony, and springing from his
stand, commenced dancing at a lively
rate. Marion don't know whether II
WAS Kangaroo" or genuine court,
but Is confident his banjo saved him.

there can be only one answer here 10 the
last question. A cleaner with a thresher
saves every farmer Ave cents bushei on

TArown from a Horse.

Last Saturday evening DIR. ]. L. Hill,
while returning on livery horse from a
visit to patient in the country, met with
quite an accident near the Callpooia bridge.
On The approach to the west side the Doctor
met a couple Of young men with boat on
a wagon. just after he passed them his
horse became frightened, when going off a
small embankment It began 'bucklng,"
throwing the Doctor on his head on the hard
ground. Getting up dazed, the young men
offered to bring him to the city, the horse
having left him but thinking he was not
hurt he said he could come alone. AS a
result he did not reach home for two or
three hours, and then was insensible most
of the following day. Now he is nearly re-
covered from the effects Of the accident,
certainly close call for a fatal result.

Smith is the name of tailor who has
been working for w. r. Graham, in this
city. Last Saturday making up his mind
that he had had enough of life he went TO
his rooms in one of the small buildings just
east Of Deyoe & Robson's,- where he was
"baching," drove a nail In the wall, tied one
end of a rope to Il, the other to his neck,
and then lay down to die /; but he did not
die, nor begin TO die. The job was most
decidedly poor one. 1t was not more than
quarter done. The rope was too long.
He failed to put 900 pound weight to his
feet. He should have jumped from high
place, and, better still, should have manag-
ed to have had less liquor inside. Liquor,
though slow kind of suicide anyway, does
not work we'll with ropes and nails. Smith
will probably put together many more pairs
Of pants but, II he really wants to suicide
