Conrtroonn Renartee.

The following anecdote is related OF
judge Thornton, who was chief justice
of the court of common pleas in New
Hampshire and judge of the superior
court of the state in the eighteenth
century.
While he was presiding in the com
mon pleas a counsel who was making
the closing argument to the jury in a
protracted case on a warm afternoon
discovered that the presiding judge on
the bench was absorbed in reading 81
book, and his associate was soundly
sleeping by his side. The advocate
turned to the jury and, with indignant
emphasis. remarked, Gentlemen. my
unfortunate client has no hope but in
your attention, since the court in their
wisdom will not condescend to hear his
casew Of course there was no sleep
ing on the bench after that, but Judge
Thornton looked up from his book and
remarked: when you have anything
to offer. Mr.. -, which is pertinent to
the case on trial the court will, be hap

DUMB PATIENCE
n CANE

AS many persons may play patience
as can be conveniently seated in a cir
Gle in the middle Of the room. Place the
chairs with the backs inward and be-
tween two Of them leave enough space
for 8 person to pass through. All the
players are seated except one, WHO is
called the director.
Inside the circle is a chair, on which
Dumb Patience sits. She is dumb aln
through the game or as long at least as
she is patient, but she may laugh or CRY
or make any sound that IS not talk
Ing.
Now, the directors business is tc
watch Patience and announce to TIE
players, who all have their backs to
her, what she is doing from time to
time, and then the players have to imi-
tate her.
Suppose she laughs, the director calls
out, Patience says taught! and all the
players mast laugh. Suddenly she stops
and begins to sew or to go through the
motion of sewing; then the director
says, Patience says sew!' and all the
players must quickly stop laughing and
initiate her. While this is going on al!
must be silent.
Then Patience begins to cry, and the
director says, Patience says cryW
when all the players begin to cry and
keep it up until Patience begins sud-
denly to make the motions of playing
the piano, when at word from the di-
rector all the players stop crying and
move their hands about as if over the
keys of piano.
Patience may do anything she pleases,
and the players, who are told Of it by
the director, must begin at once to imi
tate her.
When she gets tired Of giving the
players different things to do she jumps
up from her chair and, passing out Of
the circle, begins to run around the
chairs. All the players must get up and
follow her until she sits down, when
they all do likewise except one, Of
course, who is left without chair to
sit In, and that player then becomes Pa
thence for the next round.

The multiplication Table.

A village schoolmaster in Germany
one day did something at which the
parents Of one Of his pupils foolishly
took offense. On the following morning
the angry mother Of the lad entered the
schooIroom during lesson time and be-
gan to scold and rate the master. He
knew what was coming and as she be-
gan called out in a tone Of command,
children, the multiplication table!'
At once the whole school began to re-
peat the table In chorus. The woman
stormed and ragged, while the scholars
only shouted the harder, and the master
quietly laughed to himself. Speeches.
with anger and surprise, the woman at
last went away, and the teacher was
left master of the field of battle.

A MEMPHIS LANDMARK.
fhe Famous Old Mart Where Slaves
Were Bought and Sold.

Grim, unsightly, painless, scanned
and crooked throughout its masonry,
there stands today an old brick build
ing on Adams street, midway between
Main and Second, about which clusters
more of history and of change than
ean be compressed into song or story.
1t is situated just on the east of the
alley midway between Main and Sec
Ond streets and is used as a shelter for
the city prisoners who are worked ON
the rock pile.
If you will take the trouble to step
to the westward side Of this old build
ing, where it faces the alley, and
glance up along it's second story you
may still discern the inscription, 'Ne-
gro Mart and Livery Stable" or as
much of it as time has not penciled
out. The last letter of the word mart"
and the last letter of the word ''Stable"
are gone. The others are dimmed with
age and might pass unnoticed unless
you look 4 second time.
Time was when this was a famous
negro market. 1t was presided over in
it's time by no less a man than General
Forrest himself. Thousands of negroes
were bought and sold within its walls,
and hundreds of thousands of dollars
passed there from buyer to vender.-

In many cases it 0uld seem that
goodIlaws were made for good l9o-
pie, and thenInot enforced in order
TO please bad people. As con-
sequence we have in this country
many excellent laws that are practi-
cally a dead letter. For more than
one reason this is an evil. 1t is so
largely responsible for the IMMUNITY
with which in some places and by
some people the law is disregarded

crickets. and, although they are not
produced By the mouth. they answer
as calls. The music of grasshoppers
IS produced in four different ways
arst, by rubbing the base OF one wing
upon the other, using for that purpose
veins running through the middle por-
Lion Of the wing; second, by a similar
method BIZ using the veins of the in
Der part of the wing; third, by rubbing
the inner surface OF the hind legs
AGAINST the outer surface Of the wing
covers, and, fourth, by rubbing togeth-
or the upper surface of the front edge
OF the wings and the under surface Of
Jba wing covers. The insects which
employ the fourth method also stridu-
late during night The first method is
used TN the crickets, the second by the
green or long legged grasshoppers, the
ELird AMI fourth by certain kinds Of
