'* Tight 8queexe" It ia an old atorv. hut a cnod one, about Jacob Miller, an old dutch miller, who betimes would become temporarily insane. On which occasions he wonld imagine himself the Lord, come to judge the world. Mounting a pile of flour, he would assume all the exterior dignity of a judicial officor, and at once commence to judge his neighboring craftsmen ; making and answering the interrogations himself. He would commence with Hans Gotleb'8 case. " Hans Qotleb, stand oop.? Hans Qotleb, vat vas your peesniss in dat odder vorldt 1" M I vas a miller, O Lordt." ' Vas you a shust man, Hans Qotleb?" *'Vel sometimes ven de vater he vas low, and de pcesniss he vas padt, I dakes puray high toles." u Vel all right Hans Qotleb; yon shall go on de left side mit de goats." And in this manucr the crazy old fellow would call up one after another of the millers of his ac quaintance, asking the same ques* tions, getting the same replies, and invariably sentencing them to " de left side mit de goats." Last of all he would judge himself after this wise: %t Jacob Miller stand oop.? * jacoo Miner, vai vaa vour peesi ness in dat odder vorldt ?" 44 I vaa a miller, O Lordt." 44 Yas you a shust man, Jacob Miller?" 41 Yel sometimes ven de vater he vas low, I dakes purty stiff doles, but I always gives dem extra doles to de poor." 44Vel Jacob Miller you shall go on de right side mit de 3heeps; but it is a darned tight squeeze." ? - - > A Heavy Discount.?One pleasant morning, some two or three years ago, a party of gentlemen were standing on the steps of the Tremont house, in Boston, enjoying their cigars, when they noticed a country-looking chap riding a slim, mangy horse up and down the street in front of the hotel, apparently trying to attract the attention of the group. One of them says: "I'll bet that fellow has a horse for sale. We'll see." Presently along he came, showing his beast, aud was accosted with : 441 6ay, is that animal for sale ?" 44 Well?y a-as?I might be induced to part him; but he's a mighty likely critter." 44 Is he sound ?" 4* Sound as a bullet."? 44 Can he trot ?" 44 Trot 1 Well, he On 11 /\ AAM A J? aiu v^nu juov luuuti n tiuucr.

" Well, I don't want a horse, but I'll give you $5 for him." " Stranger, he's youru ; but that's a duce of discount." A sckubhkadkd boy having "been brought before the court as a witness, the following amusing colloquy ensued : " Where do you live?" inquired the judge. " Live with my mother." " Wheie doe8 your mother live?" "She lives with father." " Where does he live?" "He lives with the old folks." "Where do they live?" says the judge, getting very red, as an audible titter goes round the court room. " They live at home." ti \i71 . t ?i. TT IJOIC 1U IUUUUUI ID llJCir Lome?"

We received yesterday from one of the oorrsapoudeota of the Tribane the following letter, which gives the details of a shooting affray that occurred at Baxter Springs last Wednesday: Dan Rics% circus, which exhibited at Olathe on Saturday last, moved down the Fort Soott road, and oa Wednesday brought up at Baxter. At this point, during the evening performance, a new feature was introduced?not new to Baxter, but new to the circus. It was in the shape of a first-class shooting affray, inside the canvas and ddrlng the performance, though not down on the bills. The difficult* warn hatwoAn nn? of thn proprietors of the circus, Spaulding, and Wesby Taylor, the City Marshal of Baxter. Taylor attempted to arrest one of the candy aud lemonade Tenders in the circus for selling without a license, whereat Spauld ing interfered, saying that no one could be arrested inside the tent, and at the same time drawing his revolver. Taylor generally carries such a tool himself, and naturally "went" for it. As he was drawing it Spaulding fired at him, which Taylor returned, and then the two settled down to business, and cracked away at each other until four or five shots apiece were exchanged. Two of Taylor's balls took effect in Spaulding, one in the lower part of tlm RtnniAnh. nnntliAr in (ho loft: side, and another grazed bis breast, inflicting a slight wound. His injuries, it is thought, will prove fa* tal, though there is a chance for recovery. Taylor came out of it with a slight cut ou the thumb, a flesh wound on the arm, and the skin cut on his breast. Spaulding was taken to the Wiggins House, where he now lies in a critical condition. The tent was packed full at the time ; and, as might be expected, the excitement was intense. The screaming and fainting of the ladies and children was huge, while the colored brethren made a bee liue in a body from that tent, and it reports are authentic, are running yet. After the row was over the showmen sallied out in a body, caught an unoffending printer named Wiggins, and pounded him pretty severely, besides iuflicting I a stab or two in the breast. They Pretended they thought ho was aylor, but as this latter individual had just procured an extra pair ot revolvers, and was out on the street, the mistake was undoubtedly a very healthy one lor them. The circus fixtures were soon after loaded on the cars aud moved to Fort Scott, and so ended the last " battle in Baxter." Since receiving the above we have been intormed from parties who arrived here yesterday from Fort Scott that Tegweller, the ring-master of the circus, was also shot and wounded mortally and lias silica died. Our informant also stated that Spaulding is also dead, and that in the affray two citizens were wounded seriously. [Lawrence {Kansas) Tribune. Heaven help the man who imagines he can dodge enemies by trying to please everybody. 11 such an individual ever succeeded, he should be glad of it?not that one should be going through the world trying to find beams to knock and thump his head against, disputing every man's opinion, fighting and elbowing, and crowding all who differ from him. That, again, is auother extreme. Other people have their opinion, so have you; don't fall into error of supposing they will respect you more for turning your coat every day, to match the color of theirs-? Wear your own colors in spite ol wind and weather, storm, and sunshine. It costs the vacillating and irresolute ten times the trouble to wind and twist, and shuffle, that it does honest, manly independence to stand its ground. The Laurensville Herald says : 44 With all due respect to old leaders, and those who formerly shaped public opinion, we think the time has come for them to re tire, at least to some degree.? Tbey may represent the power behind the throne, yet we think the 4 logic of events ' wonld dictate to theui that they are no longer the throne Itself. They have, in a po litical sense, become superannuated, and most hereafter be content to rest upon the pension ot their former laurels." At the Old Bailey an Irishman wus arraigned tor stealing a gun. He had heard that a man charged with horse stealing had escaped by swearing he had owned Ihe horse ever since it was a colt; therefore, when Faddy was unon his defence, he swore " he Lad owned the guu ever since it were a pistol." Fbofank swearing is abominable. Vulgar language is disgust incr. Loud laughter is imDolite.? Jmjuisitiveness is offensive. Tattling is piean. Telling a falsehood is contemptible. Ignorance is disgraceful and laziness is shameful. Avoid all the above vices, and aim at usefulness. i Ecoknk DkBbkkt is the new n jailer at Lanrsns.

There is, however, little, if any, di- P version in sentiment. We feel alike; we have 01 the same ends in view; we are striving to " solve the same problem and desire to attain the same result. We differ only as to the pro. *' cess. This, we think, should give no cause for * alarm, and is not to be lamented. Free dis- P cussion can do no barm, and will probably 0 prove salutary. It bad been better, in our judgment, if we bad bad a little fuller and * ; frccrcr discussion a short while back, bofore it * was determined to bare any convention at all; c , our present confused and inconsistent situation ^ would probably bave been avoided. There y seems to be a universal indisposition to re- ^ organise or resuscitate the Democratic party in the State. We bave, so far as any cypres- 0 1 sion of publio sentiment has been given a through the press, the letters of prominent ^ citizens and the primary County Conventions, 8 given a hearty, unequivocal and unconditional 8 , endorsement to the Liberal Republican plat- ' form and nominees. It is not proposod to act D in concert with the Democratic party. We ^ havo mado the decision of ourselves, without B any reference to the Democratic party. Now f> comes a call by a Democratic Executive Com- * mittee of 1868 for a State Democratic Con- 0 vention; and what do we see' In the prima- 8 ry County Convention in Charleston, the Pros- 11 ident and all the members, it is said, except ; one, declare that thoy are no Democrats. In Newberry, we find that a similar meeting r accept* the Liberal Republican platform, and c > declares Greeley and Browu their standard- ( i bearers. If a Republican meeting ware to adopt such resolutions, we should pronounce the attendants Liberal Republicans at once. ^ The reports of other meetings evince pretty i much the same spirit, and (be up-shot of it all will be tbat a convention professedly, or 8 rather by name Democratic, will meet, and be v composed of men who, for the most part, are b not Democrats. At least, they do not propose I , to act with tbat party, or with any party, un- n less there should be a Liberal Republican c movement inaugurated by the better class of b Republicans of this State, and a prospect held out of some oolored support being given to c Greeley and Brown. South Carolina is pecu- t , liarly situated. There is probably not another s State in the Union in our political condition. In every other State, if we mistake not, there will be an organised effort to oppose Grant's * election, and as a rule this effort will be made in accordance with the views of the general 1 Democratic Convention at Baltimore. The n conservatives of Boath Carolina aro alone in ^ the unconditional endorsement of Greeley and e Brown. They have not the remotest idoa of fi endeavoring to elect a Democratic nominee in any event, nor of organising even for Greeley tl and Brown, unless invited to do so by Repub- * licans in the State. What business, then, have we, in the name of consistency, to take t| part in the counsels of any party which we 0 do not intend to assist in effecting what onr r combined judgment may determine to be best 1 t| In no way oan it be shown how we can con- ^ slstently and properly take part in the Baltimore Convention.
