They do tell pretty good joke on the
genial Maj. Feeney. For several weeks
past he has devoted a few hours each
Gay to pumping out the wharfboat,

until a few days ago when he happened
to go to the rear Of the house and dis
covered the hired man at his daily Oc-

jor will not hereafter be seen trudging
his way to and from the wharfboat in
the brOiling hot sun in order to have
the pleasure of manipulating a pump
handle.-Lawrencebu Register.

says: Upon the arraignment of a Grim
inal before the bar of justice often citi-
zens become interested in the welfare Of
the prisoner and have no thought of
til sentiment gives place TO common
sense and the law is properly executed,

citizens, in many cases, begin laying
plans for a new trial or a pardon. and

will become a mOckery and Justice will
blindly wander UP and down the hill"

stand on this question. Too many guilty
men are escaping punishment nowadays.
