If Mr.. Henry Labouchere has habit
of getting into trouble, he has also hap
Ply knack of getting out of it. For in
stance, the other day, after he had print
ed an important piece of news about the
proper way to cook crawfish and hu-
name reader of Truth expostulated with
him about his advice to tho cook to cut
the live fish in halves, he retorted mer-
rily by expressing the opinion that 1t is
ridiculous sentiment to treat creatures
Of low or documentary organizations as
If they had the same susceptibility to
pain US a human being, and settled the
question finally by telling an anecdote
about an angling friend of his who once
caught perch foul"
Tho hook pierced the flsh's eye. My friend
felt that he had not caught tho perch accord
ing to the rules Of the game, So 10 compensate
him for losing his eye, he put him back into the
water. He then baited his hook with the eye
and went to work again. within three min
utes he caught that same porch again with his
own eye.
This is capital fish story. We have
not heard better tale in a long while.
1t is a lie of course. but all fish stories
are, and it has the merits of originality
and humor. We like Mr.. Labouchere
the better for such harmless fbs.-New

The ancient girdle was used for other
material or actual purposes besides that
of receptacle for money. At II were
hung the thousand and one odds and
ends needed and utilized in every day
affairs. The scrivencr had his inkhorn
and pen attached to it, the scholar his
book or books, the monk his crucifix and
rosary, the innkeeper his tallies, and ev-
erybody his knife. So many and SO va
rious were the articles attached to it
that the flippant began to poke fun. In
an old play there is mention Of mer-
chant who had hanging at his girdle a
pouch, spectacle case, ''punniard," q
pen and inkhorn and "a Handkerchief,
with many other trinkets besides, which

A CASE was before Judge Ball, at yes.
terday mornings session of the NIu-
nicipal Court, which shows the folly
OF the last Legislature, in not in
creasing the jurisdiction OF the Munlcl-
pal Court, or creating an inferior
court, where cases OF petty larceny
could be tried and determined. In
this case colored man was charged
with the larceny Of grain bag, valued
at 25 cents. and while the evidence
was sufficient to hold him, it even
went further than that, rs no admitted
that he had taken 1t, but claimed that
he was under the influence Of liquor,
or he would not have done so. The
owner Of the bag testified that the &C.
eused had worked for him at differ
ont times and said that he had always
considered him an honest, sober man.
He identified the property as his, but
did not evluce the slightest desire to
prosecute the offender.
The case placed Judge Ball In q dl'
iemma. II lie held the man for court
he would be sent to jail for over four
weeks until court meets, and then II
he was tiled and convicted it would
swell the expense to the county to
s75 or 800, besides sending the man
into the community at the end OF his
imprisonment as convicted felon.
He therefore concluded to hold the
case up and let the man go on his own
recognizance to appear il wanted.
Now. II the jurisdiction OF the Mupici.
pal Court had been increased as ii
should have been. this man could have
been punished in an adequate manner
without great expense TO the coun.
". but the way matters now are
Judge Ball adopted very wise cours,
In letting him go.
