CHARGING THE JURY.

1t sometimes happened during the
era of Reconstruction in South
Carolina that the quondam slave was
promoted above his former MASTER
So it happened that Pompey Smash,
coal black negro, became Trial
Justice
1t was not long before Pompey had
case before him. When the jury
arose and began moving toward the
adjoining room.for consultation one
of the lawyers interposed and said,
MAY it please your honor, you have
not charged the jury"
Whereupon Judge Pompey gather
ed up himself, and with all possible
dignity said:
9Gen'men of dis jury, as dis is de
fust time I have had you befo' me, L
cha'ge each one of you one dollah
and a half"

ABROKEN HEART.

Broken hearts have gone out of
fashion with the old three-volume
novel and fainting spells. The girl
with the hurt in her heart nowadays
forgets it, or pretends to, in the glor-
les of career. She takes to type
writing, or the reformation OF the
coolies, or woman's clubs and rather
enjoys the pain in an aesthetic sort of
a way, because it means growth"
and is experience and all that. Now
with the perversity of fate there has
arisen prophet in Israel who justi-
fies the old romancers in killing off
their disappointed heroines. From
the recently published letters of Sir
George Paget, who is not a romancer,
it is interesting to learn that a broken
heart il not sentimental figure of
speech. Great grief causing a sudden
shock produces actual rupture of the
muscles of that organ and death from
exhaustion may follow.

PERTINENT QUESTION.

Old Aunt Dinah was colored wo-
man, who had a remarkably strong
voice, and would sing and cry glory"
with such vigor as to be heard above
all the rest of the congregation, but
she was of an unpleasantly saving"
disposition.
1t was the custom at the missionary
meetings of the church she attended
to take up the collection during the
singing of the hymn, Fly abroad
thou mighty gospel ~ in the midst OF
of which Aunt Dinah threw back her
head, closed her eyes, and sang away
at the top of her lungs till the plate
had passed her by:
The collector, who was man of
plain speech, observed this habit of
the old woman's and one evening
when he came to her seat he stopped
short, and, surveying her rapt coun
tenance, said, bluntly:
Look o-hea, yo' Aunt Dinah
What's de good OBJ yo' a-singin' an
a-singin', Fly abroad, thou mighty
gospel, eff you doan' glib muffin to
make her fly -

George Clarke the celebrated negro
minstrel, being on one occasion ex-
amined as witness, was several
times Intercepted by the barrister,
who wished to break down his evil
dence.

business, l believe p inquired the
barrister.
Yes, SIR" was the prompt reply

in tone that put the court in roar
of laughter.

WASTING TALUABLE TIME.

An old farmer died in a little village
in the neighborhood of Paris. His
fortune, the fruit of years of patient
toll, was invested in a nice compact
little farm. A nephew of the depart
ed, believing himself to be heir, called
a few days later on the lawyer, and be-
fore saying word about the success
sion thought it only right and proper
to shed few tears.
"Poor uncle" he Inurmured, $50
kind, so affectionate. To think that
l shall never see him again"
The notary allowed the young
man to give full vent to his sorrow
full emotions, after which he quietly
observed
Il suppose you are aware that your
uncle has left J GU nothing? p
What ~ exclaimed the nephew,
suddenly changing his tone. ''I'm
not down in the will Then, why ON
earth did you let me stand weeping
there and making fool of myself for
a good half hour?'

NAPOLEON AND VICTORIA.

One of the "reminiscences which the
queen loves to recall is of the time
when Louis Napoleon was her guest
aboard the royal yacht Victoria and
Albert The French monarch prais-
ed the sumptuous furnishings OF the
vessel, and confessed that he had new
err felt able to afford so great luxury
But for you, madam" said he, gal
lantly, you are the queen of the
seas - This compliment tickled the
queen nightly. The title was a
new one, and it hit her fancy.

The Irrigation Market is the title
OF new monthly periodical edited
by Colonel Richard j. Hinton, the
specialist on western interests. It is
published at No. 81, Broadway. New

ton OF interest to western people. In
an article on the extent of the public
lands within the arid region it says:
The areas alone OF public lands
within the states and territories dos-
iguated as arid or semi arid in char
acter, is given by the general land Of
Geo at 1,4O0, SS5.746 acres. or this

that over 100000 acres will ere

of the region 30 affected Is not less
than LOO, 100000 acres, not including
