In the History of Beverly" Mass, the
following anecdote is related of good JUS
tice of the peace in the old colonial times.
On cold night in winter a traveller called
at mis- house for lodging. The ready hos
pitality of the justice was about being dis
played, when the traveller unluckily ut
tered a word which his host considered
profane.
Upon this he informed his guest that he
was a magistrate, pointed out the nature
of the offense, and explained the necessity
of it's being expiated by sitting an hour in
the stocks.
Remonstrance was unavailing, for Gus
tom at that time allowed the magistrate
to convict and punish at once, and in this
case he acted as accuser, witness, jury,
Judge and sheriff, all in one.
Cold as it was, our worthy Justice, aided
by his son, conducted the traveller to the
place of punishment, an open place near
the meeting house where the stocks were
placed. Here the traveller was confined in
the usual manner, the benevolent executor
of the law remaining with him to beguile
the time of it's tedium by edifying CONVEX
sation.
At the expiration of the hour he was re-
conducted to the house and Hospitality en-
tertained till the next morning, when the
traveller departed with let US hope, a de-
termination to consider his words more
carefully before giving them utterance in
the hearing of conscientious magistrate

A lecturer not SO we'll known as he hopes

To Initiate Mahogany,

In the manufacture of furniture it is
often found that excellent results both in
economy and effect are gained by the ability
to initiate valuable hardwoods. The French
artisan is especially skilled in this art. and
will produce surface SO like the wood
initiated, in texture, density of hue and
polish, that many expert judges will often
mistake the imitation for the natural wood.
The appearance of mahogany is given by
the following process: The surface of the
wood having been made perfectly smooth,
diluted nitrous acid is rubbed in.
To filtered mixture of one and half
ounces of dragons blood, dissolved in a
pint of spirits of wine, is added one-third
that quantity Of carbonate of soda. This
gives a very thin liquid, which is brushed
with a soft brush over the wood. The pro-
cess is repeated, and shortly the wood as
sumes the external appearance of mahog
any If the composition has been properly
made the surface will resemble an arti-
fetal mirror, and should this brilliancy at
any time be impaired, it can be restored by
rubbing the surface with a little cold
drawn inseed oil.-New York CONNER
cial Advertiser.

Ct Iou,s 10 Colorado via wicb,,,

Commencing Sunday, July 1880, the
Missouri Pacific railway will run through
sleeping cars from st. Louis via Pleasant
HILL Rich Hill, Fort Scott and Wichita to
Geneseo and from thence to Pueblo. Colo
RADIO Springs and Denver. This change
was made on account OF great many peo-
pie from the east going TO Colorado being
DESTROYS of going via Wichita. The train
will stop here two hours, giving all a
chance to view the Peerless Princess" and
still land passengers i'll Colorado same
time as if they had gone via Kansas City
1T also gives the citizens of Wichita sleep
ing car service from here to Colorado. Re
turning, it gives us through sleeping car
service Wichita toSt. Louis, and gives the
Colorado people chance to go east via
Wichita. This change will undoubtedly
be appreciated by the travelling public, and
especially by the citizens OF Wichita. If
you are going east or west go via the pop
ular new through route Through chair
and sleeping car service. New route just
completed between Fort Scott and Rich
Hill goes through the finest mineral and
agricultural country in the west. Don't
forget the new short line to st. Louis or
