LAWYER MADE AN APOLOGY.
Revised the Opinion as to the Intellect,
Ct the Court

VI TIC SOUTt.
Some years ago there was an old
Judge on the bench in Berks county,
Pa, whose decisions, in consequence
of numerous reversals did not always
command universal respect. One day,
in a case in which he was sitting, one
of the lawyers lost patience at his in
ability to see things in a certain light,
and in the heat Of the moment re-
marked that the intellect OF the court
was so dark a flash Of lightning could
not penetrate it, For this contempt
the judge showed a disposition to be
very severe with the offender, and it
was only after much persuasion by
friends Of the latter that he yielded
and decided to accept public apol-
ogy. The following day the lawyer,
accordingly, appeared before his honor
and made amends by saying. Il re-
greet very much that | said the intel
lect of the court was 50 dark lightning

JOKE ON SWEET CHARITY.

And the colored Porter, He Thorough
Iy Enjoyed 1t.
The other day colored porter from
one of the hotels was sent to buy some
tin cups. After making the purchase
he started back to the hotel and met
one of the hostlery's best patrons-a
commercial traveler-and the latter
asked the negro to carry his sample
case to a Washington street store.
A few minutes later the negro, sam
pie case, and tin cups, were in front
Of the store. The travelling man was
in the store While waiting for him,
the negro sat down on the sample
case, and in less than jiffy fell asleep.
One of the tin cups was in his hand,
and it fell forward, as does the cup
held by blind man.
Perhaps you won't believe it, but
that negro collected 43 cents while he
slumbered Passersby thought him a
blind mendicant. And maybe that por-
ter didn't enjoy the joke! He did
