1t Was the Plaintiffs Inning.

II was practicing law in town Just
across the Ohio river" said the Ken
tuckian in the party. There was a
country judge near by who used to
hold court in his parlor in the winter
and on the lawn in front of his house
in the shade of a big oak tree in the
summer. An arm chair tilted back
against the tree was the seat of justice,
and a weather-beaten board lying
across the tops of two whisky barrels
answered for the bench. Attorneys.
plaintiff, defendant, and witnesses sat
or stood Immediately in front, and sur
rounding them in circle were the
curiously iuclined. The case before
the Judge on the occasion | have refer
red to was horse case, Stokes vs.. Bill
ings. The plaintiff stated his side of
the case and was about to CALI a wit
ness.
II d'shide fo' tn plaintiff, hiccough-
ed the judge. who was almost stupid
with drink.
But, sir, you have not heard the
defendants side of this case at all, said
the opposing attorney. My client has
a strong case, sir, and he proceeded to
elucidate it.
IL d'shide fo' tn dfendant,' the
judge Interrupted.
This brought the p,aini:.I' 5 attorney
to his feet. You have heard no wit
nesseS Yet, your honor, and he went
on to tell what be should prove by some
of his leading 'swearers,' as they are
termed in Kentucky.
The magistrate was again convinc-
ed. III d'shide fo' tn plaintiff
This sort OF thing went on for some
time. until finally the effect of the
judges potat;ons oyercame him alto
gether. His head fell forward on the
bench, and he couldn't he shaken back
into sensibility. 1t happened to be the
plaintiffs inning, and the lawyer plac-
ing pen in the judges hand guided it
so the decision was written in the
judges book of record. 1t stood, too"

Captain Semmes' Family.

Happening, the other day, to be down
to see a European steamer land her
passengers, | saw coming ashore a
lady with a slight girlish figure, pale,
thoughtful, spirited face and a brisk
step. recognized her as the widowed
daughter OF the late Captain Semmes,
of the Alabama, who was, after his de-
feat in the fight with the Kearsarge,
made an admiral in the confederate
navy. The daughter is now the prin-
cipal of a large school in Mobile, where
her brother, Oliver Semmes, an artill-
cry officer under Gen. Dick Tavlor. is
a judge of one of the courts. The old
adlniral's children are ali tremendous

Winter Apples.

What cheer is there that is half so good,
In the snowy waste CT winter night,
As a dancing fire of hickory wood,
And an easy-chair in its mellow light.
And a pearmain apple. rudy and sleek,
Or jenneting with freckled cheek.
russell apple is fair to view
With tawny tint like an autumn leaf,
The warmth of ripened corn-fields hue,
Or golden hint of harvest sheaf;
And the wholesome breath of the finished year
Is held in winesap's blooming sphere.
They bring you thought of the orchard trees,
In blossomy April and leafy June,
And the sleepy dronng of bumble-bees,
In the lazy light of the afternoon,
And tangled clover and bobolinks,
Iiger-lilies and garden pinks.
If you've somewhere left. with its gables wide,
A farm house set in an orchard old,
You'll see it all in the winter-tide
At sight of a pippin's green-and-gold,
Or pearmaiD apple, rudy and sleek,
Or jenneting with a freckled cheek

THURSDAYS PARADE.


Considerable Feeling Stirred up by the Conn
mittcO's Action.
Tie committee Of various orders which
propose to have parade on Decoration
Day applied to Chief Of Police Dolbrugge
yesterday for an escort Of police. 1t is
understood that this was refused, for the
reason that all the police would be busy on
that day. Last evening Chief Marshal Mar
tin issued General Orders No. 2, making
some change in the assistants. @. A.
Howell was substituted for w. w. Rogers
as representative Of the Sons Of America.
The order also invites organizations in
Bridgeport, Martins Ferry, Bellaire,
Benwood and other nearby towns to
join the parade.
This parade and the manner Of getting
It up and its management since has
created q, good deal Of feeling among the
G. A. Il. members, After the G. A. r.
had arranged It's programme communi.
cation WIS received from the parade
committee announcing that II had
arranged TO properly decorate the
graves OF dead soldiers" This supreme
gall was naturally resented.
Outside OF the G. A. R. there are many
people who disapproye Of any other or:
ganization taking the celebration Of
Memorial Day out OF the old soldiers
hands, and the belief is generally ex'
pressed that the parade ought to DO
abandoned.
