McCahon's office last evening. Ii seems
that woman named Mrs. Alien got into
some sort of racket and was taken before
Justice McCahOn Tor trial. Her counsel
was $. o. Boyce, and when the Justice
fined her s. and costs he told her not to
pay il. TIE Justice requested HIM to
keep quiet, and then trouble ensued.
Boyce got the Justice down on the toor
and twined mis- fingers lovingly in his
nice, black beard and gave his hand
terrible twist, which resulted IN
the beard and the owners chin
parting company He carried the handful
of whiskers to the door and allowed the
wind to daily with them, while the blood
poured from the Justices chm. Boyee

woman alsO made tracks for home. The
Justice and his constable followed her, but

A Knife with a History.

There is gentleman living in this
city who has in his possession a knife
once owned by Jim Bowie, which was
given him by Juan Padillo, q man who
left the Lafitte band of pirates to follow
the fortunes of Bowie, who is still liv-
ing The knife is of tempered steel, the
blade sixteen inches long, with steel
guard and buckhorn handle. The
handle is dressed smooth where the
hand clasps it, and on one side is q
silver plate, one and one-half inches
long, set into the handle, on which il
scratched in rude characters, Jim
Bowie" On the steel guard of the
knife, on the upper side, two notches
have been cut with file, which old
Juan Padillo said were cut to mark
the number of men Bowie had killed
with the knife. On the lower side of
the guard are three notches, which are
said to represent the number of Indians
scalped with the same knife. The
knife was given by Bowie to Padillo
while Bowie was resident of San
Augustine, Texas, and was presented
by Padillo to its present owner in 1862,
when the latter succeeded in recovering
from the Comanches ten head of horses,
which they had stolen from Padillo's
ranch, thirty-five miles west of San
Antonio, Honey GroUe Ter.) special.

Dickens i'm Hartford.

Dickens, the novelist, on his first
visit to America, came down to Hart
ford in this little steamer in February,
1912. It was an open winter. Dickens
appeared, as he landed from the boat
and was driven up, followed by crowds,
to the City Hotel, like young Cock
ney swell rather than the man who
had pictured such characters and
scenes as he had done in his world-ad-
mired novels; writer who had already
struck effectual blows at abuses in
society. His hair was long, hanging
down over his coat collar; his gaudy
plaid vest in colors, and his snowy
necktie and fashy jewelry, all were
cloud" and jarringly out Of harmony
with the idea people had formed of the
author of such a character as little
Nell. But his fresh, full-colored, youth
full face had nevertheless a certain
stamp Of genius. A fine dinner was
given to him at the City Hotel, at which
the conviviality was general. Mr.
Hamersley wrote song for the occa-
sion, which was sung in great eclat--
"The Fine Young English Gentlemen"
Dickens always spoke kindly of Hart
ford. It was here that he first made
the acquaintance of the sherry cob
BIER" drink of which he spoke in
terms of enthusiastic admiration; and
on the ride to New Haven, he sug-
gested to Mr.. Hamersley more than one
repetition of the delectable compound
the materials of which had been
thoughtfully put aboard of the train.
But it bothered him to remember the
name of the ambrosia. He would in
terrupt conversation with-"By the
way, what did you say was the name of
that drink we had?" WAS it sherry
cobbler?" said Hamersley. ooh, yesi
Sherry cobbler! Sherry cobbler!"
eagerly exclaimed Dickens suppose
we have another?" And "the other"
one was made, every time call was
made for it.-Remiqliscences of Editor
A, e. Burr.
