Horse Shedding a Witness.

II can't imagine where Senator FL
kins obtained his authority for the ex-
PLANTATION which he gives of the origin
Of the expression horse shedding, +"
said Representative Grosvenor. "The
origin of this famous expression was az
follows:
In days gone by the Ohio courts
held sessions at different county seats
at certain periods known as court terms.
To accommodate the large crowds OF
litigants and witnesses who would flock
in from points for miles around the
county seat when court was in session,
the county authorities erected sheds
near the courthouse, where the litigants
and their witnesses could tie and feed
their horses while they attended court,
and these sheds became known as horse
sheds Now, owing to the limited space
Of the courtrooms, the lawyers, who
always Travelled with the court, were
unable to hold a private consultation
with their clients and witnesses inside
the walls, and SO they used to take them
under the horse sheds and there talk
matters over with them.
Among the attorneys who attended
court at Chester, the then county scat Of
Meigs county, gu ono occasion Were III
Ewing AID Samuel F. Vinton. lnc
court was ready to go on with the case
III which the two not ID attorneys We're
retained as opening counsel, when it
was discovered that Vinton was not
present Tic court looked carefully
around and II zen asked:
" here Is Mr.. Vinton?
81 don know, your honor, said
Ewing, risln. to his feet He is not
here, lat III IL probably outside horse
shedding h illnesses
The re- X raised general laugh,
and thereal the word horse shedding
awitness IS 4 INTO popular parlance. =

The Regular Duties and the Time For

and staylight made ready for hosting

ing the night. Then the color call fol-
lows at SHUTDOWN as the flag is lowered,
and saluted by all as it reaches the deck
The assembly is then sounded for even
ing quarters and muster, but there is no
drill.
As q rule, it is just after sunset when
the bugle call is sounded to "stand by
hammocks That brings all the crew
on deck. and they stand i'll silence close
out to the ships side beside the ham
mock MEETINGS, III two ranks facing the
stern, until the boatswain' mate eports
to the caicar Of tbs deck, "All up and
aft, /" The latter then orders, ''Uncoverl
pipe down." and i'll obedience to this
order and the boatswain's whistle the
nettings are thrown open, and the ham
mocks are served ont and taken below
to their proper places. Each hammock
has printed ON it a number, and that
same number is ON the hoo:s below
decks where that hammock has TO be
swung, so that each man sleeps in the
same place every night, and that place
is called his billet.
Unless, now, boat is called away
there will be no more bugle calls until
five minutes of o'clock. The period is
one of complete relaxation, and is spent
by the sailors i'll smoking, spinning
yarns, singing, playing on musical in
Struments, and dancing. At s :55 the
first call is again sounded as a warming
to the crew to prepare to turn into their
hammocks and so to sleep Then at 8
O'clock comes the call known as ''tat-

This tattoo is the survival of an old
custom. lii the ''old navy" il used to
last 5 minutes. and was performed
with drum and fife, playing all manner
of airs and quicksteps according to the
fancy or ingenuity of the drummer and
tifer. 1t is even said to have been handed
down from a period of superstition,
when they used to make q hullabaloo
after dark to drive the devils out of the
ship. At the last note of tattoo the ships
bell is struck twice for 8 o'clock, and
the boatswain's whistle sounds pipe
down. Every man must then turn into
his hammock, whether he is sleepy or
not, for an inspection is made by the
master at arms to see that all have done
so. Then sounds that last, long, mourn
