PEACH BRANDY AND HONEY.
How Virginia Judge Gave Himself Away
As Regards That Beverage.

As Regards That Beverage.
The following story, which we
think worthy of preservation, was
told us recently:
Away back In the palmy Virgin
ian days when slaves were as thick
as bees about molasses, and about all
the planters had to do was to wear
linen clothes and talk politics, there
was a distinguished judge, of vener-
able aspect, portly build and sterling
integrity, who held sway over the
law breakers of his circuit with un-
fiinching justice but whose predilect-
ions for the flowing bowl were more
than surmised.
1t SO happened that one day three
citizens were brought before his au-
gust presence on the charge of
drunkenness, and the trial proceeded
something after this fashion:
$50 you were drunk, were your"
quoth the Judge to the first offender.

"And on what, pray?'
"Apple brandy, Judge"
"There you go! You might have
known what would result from tank

manufactured by those galoots in
North Carolina who don't have sense
enough to make anything fit to drinl
and wouldn't have sense enough t
drink it after it was made. Ten dol
lars and costs, or thirty days. Next
The second culprlt was ushered t.
the dock.
"And what did you get drunk on?

reply.
The damnable stuff, manufacture,

HOW TO RUN A WEDDING.
Old Hand at the Business Gives Some Ad-

indianapolis News.)
An indianapolis man, asked to take
charge OF a wedding, wrote Chicago
man for advice on the subject. This is
what be got by return mail;
"The night before the wedding, see
that every one connected with the SER
vices is at rehearsal, and that everyone
properly understands his place and du-
ties. On that evening the master OF
ceremonies must lay down the law to
ushers and groomsmen. The stronger
language used the better One cannot
be too emphatic at such times He
must then give all parting instructions
regarding gloves, white vests white
neckties, etc, so that the procession
will be uniform, and not look like a
a Mardi Gras outfit on "toot."
1.-THE following evening, if the we'd
ding ceremony is to take place at 1880,
the master of ceremonies should be at
the church at 6 O'clock Have all car
riages ordered for the ceremony, wheth-
or by father of the bride, or victim, re :
port to him at that hour.
"Start carriages after ushers, check
ing off when they leave and again
checking off when they arrive.
"Send for the groomsmen next, then
for the bridesmaids. Then send for the
victim. Have a strong man in the car
riage, as he is liable to bolt at the last
moment
''Send for the minister, bride, angry
father and weeping relatives
''Start the procession up the aisle
giving the signal when each couple is
to go so they will be an equal distance
apart and not look like football outfit
trying to break through the centre
Arrange that nothing but the from
doors of the church be open. Do no
allow the side doors or the inner vesti
bule to be open, as when the procession
starts back from the altar the people il
the gallery will try to trample on thu
bride Every time you step on th,
bride that counts two, Every time yol
step on the bridegroom that counts one
If you kill him, that's DOGGY.
Have all the wraps belonging to To,
victims in the procession arranged on
table in the yestibule, so they can be Sc
cured as fast as the procession passe
out of the church, Then station som
one at the front door, to hold it tigh Il,
closed for minute, so that the get
