Mr.. SToLL AND JUDGE WILSON
Attorney Stoll, one of Colonel Breckir-
ridges counsel, has written letter to
judge "Jerre" Wilson that is tanta-
mount TO a challenge. Mr.. S;oli openly
expresses his contempt for Judge Will
son and refuses to accept his retraction
OF remarks made in the Pollard Brock
inridge trial. He says the apology Is
insufficient as it contained no word OF
regret at having said that which deeply
wounded him. He says there is only
one course left, ard that to say in plain
language what he thinks of Judge Will
sons conduct Mr.. Stoll says: You
are a much older man than l. The re-
spect which every young man has for
grey hairs, wherever found, makes it
impossible now, after what | have re-
ferred to above, to take that only means
of redress left to gentleman when an
unwarrantable attack, under the pro-
lection Of court, is made against that
which to you is but little, but which to
gentleman is more than life itself.
This you have done deliberately, ma
liciously, and for a manifest purpose.
| therefore take this which seems 10 me
to be the only proper course left open
to me to express to you the contempt
which | have, and which | believe all
good men have, for man who under
3 lch circumstances could stoop so low,
and to further say that an examination
into your real character satisfies me
that such things rs this are but the
natural impulse of your nature. .

Words of Wisdom.

|
A good dinner is benediction.
4 fat pocketbook is great tonic.
The last indulgence spoils the first.
Sugar.coated lies are easily swal-
lowed.
Meanness leads to villaiDy with
fatal attraction.
It il the bird with fne feathers
that gets plucked.
A half dozen hearty laughs are
equal to meal of yictuals.
We love the homely flower that
fills the air with fragrance.
The sober second thoughs OF the
people is seldom wrong.
Hope and energy aud sunshine
never thrive on a torpid liver.
Every temptation is great or small
according as the man is.
In all human action those faculties
will be strong which are nsed.
When you make feast for swine
you must provide tropghs for them.
The man who gives much to the
poor doesn't leave much for thieves
to steal.
Heredity is announced in the
curve Of an eyelash or the texture of
a fnger.nail.
Ours aud sycophants partake of
their masters antipathies and follow
up their disputes.
There is another sentence than
that pronounced by the judge which
falls upon the conscience of the
accused.

Much comment 10 made by the
State press generally concerning tho
manner in which the law against the
carrying of concealed weapons is
openly disregarded. 1t is wells
known fact, or ought TO be, that
among a certain class OF citizens
probably nine out of every twelve
are armed; but from some cause or
other the law would seem, from its
non-enforcemeut, powerless to reach
the offenders. Pistols have no other
use than this very convenience OF
being carried in the pocket, a con :
venience which renders them decid-
edly dangerous. Was there MT an
effort made once TO enact a Law pro.
hibiting or circumscribing the sale
of them.-H Hammond News.
