Weighing the Evidence.

The converting of the courts often af-
ford occasion for anecdotes connected
with the administration of justice and
the various experiences of the lawyers.
We heard a new one this week. In the
reconstruction days certain district
had a pretty fair and well-meaning
negro for a justice of the peace. He
had heard judges deliver charges and
caught on to few ideas dimly. A case
was up before him in which most of
the testimony was reduced to writing. 1t
was n case of white man against q
negro. When the lawyers had conclud-
ed the case before him. he pulled small
draw scale out of his pocket with the
remark, in his peculiar dialect, that the
law directed that he should weigh the
evidence, and before the lawyers had
caught on to his intentions he had tried
the two patches of testimony by the
scales, and without hesitation rendered
his decision in favor of the white man,
because his testimony weighed two
ounces the most.
This is Virgo Dasher's story. We
vouch for it; that is, we vouch that it
is good Valdosta (Ga.) Times.

Philadelphia Croquettes.

The formula for their preparation is
for large pair of fowls, weighing
twelve pounds, or two pairs weighing
seven pounds the pair. Select those
having the largest amount of breast
meat.
Boil n sweetbread for three minutes,
put it into cold water, and after an hour
take it out and drain.
Boil a calls brain for five minutes
and set aside to cool.
Boil half q pint of cream with the
same measure of bread crumbs, sifted
clean of crusts and Jumps.
Boil the chickens till tender in Just
enough water to cover them; when the
broth is cold skim off all the grease,
then boil it down to half a pint.
Remove from the chickens the skin,
fat and tendons; cut off all the brown
meat and reserve it for family use the
following day, either to fricassee, stew
with giblets, or to mix with an equal
amount of roast veal and make into
breakfast croquettes, to be eaten hot.
Chop the white meat with the sweet
bread and brain, quite fine, first adding
a teaspoonful of chopped parsley, the
lightly grated outer yellow rind and
the juice of a large lemon, one heaped
teaspoonful of salt and half teaspoon
full each of powdered mustard, mace
and white pepper.
Cut fine two shallots or one small
onion, fry with four ounces of butter,
add a tablespoonful of flour and stir till
smooth; put it quickly into saucepan,
add the chopped meat, the broth jelly
and the soaked bread crumbs; stir brisk
ly, and as soon as hot add the yolks
of four eggs, stir little and take off the
fire. When cool enough to handle mix
and chop it lightly, spread on platter
an hour or two mix and mold as fol-
lows:
Sprinkle molding-board with sifted
cracker-dust; take heaping tablespoon
full of the meat paste and form the cro-
quettes in the shape either of roll or a
small sugar loaf, the latter being gener-
allo preferred. For this use deep,
pointed wine glass lightly buttered.
There are, also, tin moulds made ex-
pressly for this use.
When all are done dip them, one by
one, into well-beaten eggs and roll in
finely-sifted bread-crumbs; after an hour
dip and roll again, and set into the ice
box till wanted.
Lastly, in enough very hot lard to
float them, fry to q rich, golden brown
color, turning them with great care
while cooking to keep them shapely.
A convenient thing for this purpose is
the flat frying-basket of timed wire.
Serve on a napkin and garnish with
sprays of parsley and water cress.
The above will make about one a half
dozen croquettes. the Caterer
