party. but the chances are that that
party will be discovered If that water
hydrant standing in the center of the
sidewalk on Marshall, near North Flores
street, is not removed.
Last night, in company with lady,
passed down this street on our way

ting about this and that, you know,
when suddenly | was struck above the
knee by what l at first supposed to be a
dynamite bomb, but on closer examine
tion discovered it to be an outlet of the
head of the river.
The previous survey of this street was
evidently incorrect, as recently the
sidewalks have been widened, leaving
plugs, posts and other limb breakers in
the route of the unsuspecting pedestrian.
Whoever the responsible party is,
whether the city or the Water works
company, should attend to this matter

order and quiet. The lawyers need fire.

trial Of their cases, or with applications
for continuance. His honor has no time
to waste nor does he mean that others
under his judicial eye shall waste the
precious time which was given for the
prompt dispatch of business and for
general Improvement. The Judge looks
the picture Of health and earnestness,
blended with latent good humor, whlcn
at times breaks out like beams OF sun
shine through clouds, In lively, Jocose
remark. Instructions to the jury are
given in the simplest form; there 10

being understood as preferring plain,
common-sense and Jetfersonian SIM
plioity to any ostentatious display,
whether of authority or learning.
A sutler for the United States army
was up for permitting gaming In MS

as to his circumstances, and on being In
formed that he was poor, with large
family, put the fine at the minimum,
which was $40 and costs.
There was a case Of smuggling in
moderate quantity of Mexican monte
cards, coming under the head or mer-
chandise. The defendant pleaded that
he had no intention of defraudiDg the
government. His counsel agreed that
the intent was essential to the Offense.
The Judge charged that every man is
esumed to intend the natural effect OF
his acts; that the intent is part OF the
offense and an essential element, but
must be considered with the qualitica-
ton Just stated. The defendant was
convicted, and fined $50.
There is diversity of opinion among
good people, even among reverend di-
vines, as to the propriety of social card
playing, merely for amusement. A. II.
Stephens, of Georgia, was a Presby-
terrain, but with a great penchant for
social card-playing. A minister of that
church called upon Mr.. Stephens once
when the statesman was on visit In
Atlanta. and, to his chagrin and aston
ishment, found him in the midst of
ladies and male friends playing cards
Mr.. Stephens asked him TO be seated,
saying as soon as he finished that game
he would talk with him. The preacher
sat down for a few minutes, but being
nonplussed, soon excused himself and
left company where his presence might
not be desired or his instructions just
then appropriate. BEEN TO GEORGIA.

CONGRESSMAN HUDD, in an interview
published in The Oshkosh Northwestern,
in reply 20 the question of what he
thought of Mr. Gueuther's chances in the
Second district, said be thought it was a
mistake for Mir. Guenther to run. This
would naturally be the opinion expressed
by DemocIat who is himself candi-
date for congress- But Mr.. Hudd spoke
in very high terms of MIR. Guenther's
work ia the house of representatives and
said he sis one of the ablest congressman
whom we have had. and had he been
nominated in the Sixth district he would
have been elected by FIVE or six thousand
majority" There are indications that the
people of the Second district appreciate
the advantages OF securing an able aud
experienced representative, and that they
are preparing TO choose Mr.. Guen5her-
Sentinel.
