penser OF equity and ail-round arbitrator oil
the difficulties that evil natures and whisky
leadeth into. came upon the bench with 0
smile and a bow like the graceful attitude as
| sumed by the man in the box" as he pre-
| pares to deliver an up-shoot" or an in
curve" The cases IN the court are faiiing on
! daily and Justice Johns work. like that OF
the base-bailist. is all play The crowd. how.
ever. was large for the old-tme gang had
come out like the coored folks TO 5aptizlng.
and manifested about as lively an interest In
the proceedings as the occupants OF the
bleacheries in the Thursdays ball game.
| The pompous cash-gatherer looked "a sour
AZ the Blaine henchmen the night before, and
kicked as continuously about the short docket
as the two captains of the great ball game
about the imaginary errors OF the umpire.
b. Gaggalecl was charged with assaulting
and beating his daughter. Elnora Baggaleci.
! How far the old gent went In his paternal
! chastisement will probably never DO known.
/ but certain it is that he went trifle farther
| than az ordinary switch correction. Accord
| ing TO bis statement Elnora was not very
regular in her gOings and comings -partlcu-
larry comings-and when she remained out
/ longer at the Wednesday evening prayer
meeting than be thought proper he proceeded
| TO correct her in what be thought teCherly
manner. OF course 1t Is not considered the
correct thing In these times tor girl 70 as
| sst her mother around the house. darn her
stockings. or anything OF that kind, but the
only proper thing is to read light literature,
visit all the BrOad-street stores IN tho morn
ing pricing spring and summer bonnets and
promenade the shady parks IN the afternoon.
b. g. said be could not work all day and SIT
up two-thirds OF the night 10 Jet his daughter

mon sense.
Leanna Madison s q black girl of uncertain

the summer evening many Things have been
missed that could not have walked away.
Yesterday Leanna was charged with stealing
a lot Of peanuts and some other things or no
great value. but some little moment. On &C
count Of her age. size and condition she was
ordered TO be whipped. and her maternal
predecessor was delegated 10 perform the
operation. and well indeed was the work
done. Leanna does not bother very much
with the habillments # the body and not at
all with foot or headgear. 1t IS well that
such is the case. for it Is fact that for the
present, ut least very many clothes would be
extremely disagreeable TO Leannas back and
limbs.
