PROVED HIS SPELLING.
An Incident In tho Career Of Stephen
A. Douglas.


An amusing incident occurred In Nc
Lean county, H., at the first court
which Stephen A. Douglas, the famous
politician, attended after his election
as prosecuting attorney. There were
many indictments TO be drawn, writes
Professor Allen Johnson in his life OF
Douglas, and the new prosecuting at
tornsy I'm his haste wrote the name OF
the county Mclean instead of Mclean.
His professional brethren were greatly
amused at this evidence of inexperi.
ence and made merry over the blunder.
Finally John Il. Stuart, subsequently
Douglas political rival, moved that all
the indictments be quashed. Judge
Logan looked at the discounted youth
and asked what he had to say to sup
port the indictments.
Smarting under the gibes OF Stuart.
Douglas replied obstinately that he
had nothing to say, as he supposed the
court would not quash the indictments
until the point had been proved This
answer caused more merriment but
the Judge decided that the court could
not rule upon the matter until the pre-
else spelling In the statute creating the
county hld been ascertained
No one doubted what the result
would I've, but at least Douglas ha the
satisfaction OF causing his critics some
delav, for the statutes had to be pro-
curel from an adjoining county.
To the establishment of court and
bar and Of Douglas himself II appeared
that he had spelled the name CORE t.
ly. To the indcscribablc chagrin II
the learned Stuart the court promptly
sustained all the indictments. The
young attorney was in high feather
