The Hastings Court. Judge Samuel Is
witt presiding closed its work. so far as the
service Of Jurors are concerned. Yesterday
ONLY one ease consumed the attention Of
the court. that of Alfred Richardson. The
colorcd boy who told Judge Witt the other
da, that il was impossible 10 convict him
'cepf he had a LAWYER" lie was charged
with stealing an umbrella of the value OF
81. and when The court convened at lO:3t
O'Clock il was found out that he still had no
lawyer.
Judge Witt asked Giles B. Jackson 10 de.
fond Richardson. and the case was under
trial when Mr. ID. {. Richardson, who had
been retained by his namesake. came in.
lie explained 20 the Court that he thought
the hour forop opening the court was ii o'clock,
and that this caused his absence,
"kuowing how prompt YOU are" said
judge Witt, IL proceeded with the case,
thinking that there might have been some
irrcgularity in your retainer"
Mr.. A. Is. GuigOn represented the COM
m0nwealth. and when the evidence was in.
he presented the case in as strong hight a.
possible.
Mr Richardson, in reply, said that il
seemed to be an unwritten law for people 10
borrow umbrellas and not return them. lie
had personal experience Of this sort. lie
had brought an umbrella into court and
stood H. in one corner Of the room,
and had been tempted TO charge the judge
some of the jurors or the officers Of the
Court with stealing il. lie said that the
other day a gentleman at the Exchange
hotel tied "a wire to his umbrella. and
amused himself 10y snatching II from the
hands of some Of the most distinguished
gentlemen i'm the city. who wanted 10 carry
IL OF. The jury found a verdict of not
guilty. without leaving their seats, and the
little negro left in such hurry that be did
not take away the umbrella.

Onernorning. a few minutes before the
school hour. when most Of the pupils had
arrived and they had gone into the school,
donkey was entering the playground.
Bill Hpod and were 20 far on our way,
rushed 70 mount the animal and began to
guide and force it into the school With
desperate squirting tho donkey was in
duced to carry its rider over the thresh-
old, and what a reception both OF them
got from the juvenile crowdsl Bags Of
books were at once fastened to the tail
and around the neck of the ass. and so
busy were Bill and half dozen compal-
ions ia urging the brute to canter around
the school and to ascend the short stair
of the masters desk that they did not no
tice how time was speeding, and before
they could remove the stranger Mr. Car
lyle appeared. We expected a tremen-
dous explosion Of wrath. but he burst into
a roar of laughter-such a roar. however,
Is, instead of tempting us To join in it.
rcoduced sudden and complete hush,
and that roar was renewed again and
again, when the ass. Withdrawing its fore
feet from the first step Of the desk stair
and turning round, took a pace or two
slowly toward the master as if TO salute
him.
THAT" exclaimed Carlyle, "is the
wisest and best scholar Kircaldy has
yet sent me: he is fit to be your teacher.
He tapped the donkey's head, as he
was wont to do ours. and said: There's
something here far more than in the
skulls of any of his brethren before me,
though these skulls are patted in fond
admiration by papas and mammas, land
though thai far grander head piece meets
only with merciless blows"
He then gave some hard taps on Bill
Hoods head, and would not allow him |
TO dismount, but for penalty ordered him
to ride up and down the school for an
hour, while the boys who had been most |
active In helping Bill to go through the
farce had TO march in pairs before and
behind the perplexed-looking ass. He did
not require the other scholars to attend /
to their school lessons. but silently per
mitted them TO stand as spectators of the
grotesque procession. Then he himself.

strange mixture Of mirth. scorn and
fury.-Cor. Edinburgh Scotsman.

Proyerb, About Rain.

When there is unusual clearness in the
atmosphere, and objects are seen very
distinctly. there will probably be rain
When clouds are gathering toward the
sun at setting, with rosy hue, they fore
tell rain.
Evening gray and morning red,
Put on your hat, or you'll wet your head
If rain commences before day, it will
stop before s a. M: il IL begins about
noon, it will continue through the after
noon; if not till p. IN, it will rain
through the night; if it clears off in the
night. it will rain the next day,
II IL rains before seven
It viii clear before eileen.
If it rains before sunrise. expect a fair
afternoon II it rains when the sun
shines. it will rain the next day. II
clouds appear suddenly in the south, ex-
pect rain.
Rain from the south prevents tho drouth
But rain from the west Is always best
When rain comes from the west, it will
not continue long. If rain falls during
an east wind, it will continue full day
If an assemblage of small clouds spread
out or become thicker or darker. expect
rain. Small inky clouds foretell rain.
Dark clouds in the west at sunrise indi-
cate rain on that day. If the sky after
line weather becomes heavy with small
clouds, expect rain.-Boston journal.

The Other Way.

a well known Chicago attorney tells a
good one anent the quick wit and ready
tongue of that brilliant lawyer, the late
Emery A. Storrs. 1t was after the ven
cradle Justice Skates had LEFT the Illinois
supreme bench. The justice had specu-
lated a good deal and had been unfor-
tunate. He had been sued TO recover
certain claims. judgment had been en-
tered against him. and attachments
against his property had been taken out.
But none Of his property could be found
and the attachments remained unsatis-
fed. On account of the prominence Of
the justice, the case was well known
among lawyers. Not long afterward
Mr.. Storrs was defending a heavy at
tachmeI suit, and the lawyer on the
other s. . took occasion to cite a certain
decision of the Illinois supreme court in
support of his position. SIorrs was on
his feet in a moment, "whoa~ decision
is thats' DO askAd. 1T was written by
4s.lce Skates" replied the other attor-
ney. "Well," said the witty Storrs,
"'Skates on attachments may be- all
right, but attachments on Skates amt
worth cent!"-Chicago Herald.
