OWE GO, RAIN OR SHINE
This Motto Adopted by Justice
Johns CONGREGATION,

tOHB
Despite the cloudy weather yesterday
morning and the New-Year resolves OF
the sinners, Justice John had a packed
house.
Christina Giles, a hunchbacked damsel,
as black as any raven from nights Plu-
tonian shore, was up among the rest,
charged with biting William Eggleston,
who was even blacker, If possible. Chris
tina said it was only a love bite; that
William looked irresistible, and that she
only chose that way TO express her af-
lection. Justice John thought II she had
bit him and lived TO tell the story, she
ought not TO be punished. and SO he dis
missed the case.
Herndon Johnson was charged with
stealing one head Of cabbage from j. T.
Eubank but II could not be proven on
him. and this case was dismissed also.
In the case OF Mary Jones, charged
with stealing a dress from Sallie Crump.
the accused Mary was sent down to Jail
for a square ninety days
William Wilkinson, negro. did the
very ungallant thing, so said the charge,
of cursing and abusing Matte Smith. and
Justice John, frowning disapproyingly,
fined him $50.
Mary Clark. Parker Weaver, and Della
Bell (all colcred) were charged with being
dlsorderly and fighting on the street, and
were fined s. each.
Willie Owens (coloreD was charged
with breaking into the barber-shop of
X. II. Burton and stealing three razors.
and was sent on 10 the grand jury.
William Robinson threw rocks in the
street-a very small matter-but he made
a great mistake when he let a policeman
see him. That is. his mistake cost him 81.
Cullam Taylor (colored) abused Maggie
and Maggie swore out a warrant against
him, which cost her 80 cents and Gull
lam $780,
Justice John then went into the CON
sideration of DRINKS, of which class Of
citizens he had a great number.

Her Secret Signal

Nervous housewives whose husbands fre-
quently bring home company to dinner
without preliminary warning often worry
in their secret hearts for fear there may
not be food enough to supply the unexpect-
ed guests. A matron living in one Of the
prettiest suburban residences in West Phil
adelphia, whose husband persists in bring
ing home guests at the most inopportune
times, has hit upon happy expedient to
meet possible emergencies.
In passing any dish at the table Of which
there may be a limited supply, the hostess
makes point to mention the enigmatical
letters "F. H. B." in such manner as
not to attract the attention of the guests
around the board. Immediately the men,
bers of the family are aware of the circum-
stances. and discreetly partake very light
ly, If at all, Of the viands in question. The
secret Of the three letters was solved a few
days ago, and the hostess afterwards
laughingly confessed her little scheme.
