Especial Correspondence


NEW ORLEANS, Nov. Ex-Governor
Nichols relates with much relish his
peculiar experience in n hotel. During
the late nnpleasantncss the governor,
then general, had the misfortune to lose
his right leg, having parted company
with his right arm in an accident several
years before the war.
During the last campaign he was
stamping Mississippi and stopped over
night at a hotel i'll Natchez. Send a
man to my room," said the governor.
and i'll few moments q typical southern
negro made his appearance. The dis
robing process had been continued for
some time when the governor command
ed, Take off my arm"
"Sah! said the astonished negro, his
wool fairly rising. Take off my arm
repeated the governor, and Sambo edged
snspiciously toward the couch, assisting
in removing the artificial member.
Laying it upon the table he gave the
limb u long and careful examination,
but was suddenly interrupted by the
command, Take off my leg" For a
moment he gazed at the reclining sol
dier and then started for the door.
1t required innumer;.ble threats, ex-
plantations and promises to get the
darby near the bed, but finally large
portion of the governor lay upon the
table, and there was mischievous twin
klc in his eyes.
Come here, Sambo," he shouted, lean
ing forward. Come here and unscrew
my head"
The darby waited no longer, but with
one wild rnsh lie dashed from the room,
and bursting into the Office shouted,
oh, Mass;l Charles. there's n man in
~ who Is coming to pieces" A crowd
followed to IS, and the governor 'sct
cin up." &. G. r..

they indicated an abnormallyf diseased
condition of his mind.

Mark Twain himself was put upon the
stand. He testified that he had no recol-
lection of ever having written anything
about jumping frog, and that he felt
ike smiling the men and women who
came to him and told him, as thousands
OF them did, that the jumping frog was
tho funniest story they ever had read.
Ho testified that if he ever said that he
wept ut the tomb of Adam it must have
been i'll moments of hallucination, since
his emotions at the discovery of that
tomb would certainly have been those of
JOY.
He attacked the testimony of Mr..
Cheney, declaring that he was unworthy
of belief as IL witness. "Why," said he,
II met Cheney's father u few days be-
fore sailed, and he told me that his son
was being sent to Europe to cure him
of mania for prcvarication. Not long
ago that young man disappeared from
his home for several days. When he
came back in q shanefaced manner
his father said:
"Where have you been?"
81 have been hunting bear"
"Well, if you killed any bear 1 shall
not punish you; but if you did not kill
any. then 1 shall Danish you to Europe
for awhile. How many did you kill?"
81 shot 1892 bears, father"
"You arc falsifier. You have mixed
up the year of our Lord with your bear
shooting exploits. You will have to 90
to Carlsbad to be cured"
When Mark Twain finished this anec-
dote the prosecuting attorney declared
that he had been convicted out of his
own mouth, for the anecdote itself was
an unscientific lie, insomuch that Mark
Twain had mentioned bear as the game,
whereas he should have said fish.
Everybody expects that q fisherman
will exaggerate the number of fish
caught, but nobody ever knew a bear
hunter to do it. The jury convicted
the culprit without leaving their seats,
and Judge Dittenhoefer was called
upon to impose sentence He COM
manded Mark Twain to stand up, and
he declared that for tho first time a
jury of his peers had formally and very
properly on the evidence found him
guilty of unscientific lying. He should
therefore sentence him to read for
three hours every day from his own
works until the steamer reached port.
AS sentence was pronounced Mark
Twain groaned, and then, falling on his
knees, implored the judge in these words:
Anything but that! Hang mo if you
will, but do not compel me to read my
own works. That is slow and horrible
DEATH"
Without needing the appeal Judge
Dittenhocfer added that as Mark Twain
was going to Germany to live for awhile
he should also condemn him to abandon
tho American form of his name, which
means two marks, and use instead the
German word Bismarck" There can
not be two Dismarcks i'll Germany" said
the judge, land it will DO Il part Of your
punishment to carry on battle with the
prince OF that nano for your right to
use it,
Mark Twain served his sentence faith
fully. He read three hours every day
from his own works, but most of the
passengers wished that he had not.

NEW YORK, Nov. St was in tho

put i'll irons and brought before an ad-
miralty court upon serious charges. The
story of that experience in the life of
the famous humorist has just been

those who witnessed the trial and who

he has ever written contains more hu-
