deal smarter than any ot' you, even the |
judge himself, yet I am utterly incompo- \ c
tent to present this case in that magnaui- J c
mous and heartrending light which its im- j
portanec demands ; and 1 trust, gentlemen,
that whatever 1 may lack in presenting the
Kuhject, will be immediately made up by i ,,
your own natural good senses and discern- '
ment, if you have got any.
The counsel for the prosecution, gentle- |(
men, will undoubtedly attempt to heave
dnstin your eyes, lie will tell you that
lii.s client is pre-eminently a man of func-1
tion?that ho is a man of undoubted and ' j
implacable venu-ity?that ho is a man who j S(
would s'.'orn to foteh an action against an- j .
other merely to gratify his own personal j |
corporosity ; but, gentlemen, let me can- ^
tionate you how to rely upon such specious
reasoning like this. 1 myself apprehend ] (j
that this suit has been wilfully and uiali- |
ciously focht, gentlemen, for the sole and S(
only purpose of brow beating my client (1
hero, a- ! in an eminent manner grinding ^
t lie face of the poor, and I apprehend also, (|
that if you could but look into that man's j
heart, and read there the. motives that have, j
impelled him to fotch this suit, such a pieture
of moral turpentine and heartfelt ingratitude
would be brought to light as has | j
never b -fore been exhibited since the Falls ^
of Niagara.
Now, gentlemen, I want to make a brilliant
appeal to the kind symmetries of your
natur, and see if 1 can't warp your judg- "
~ c < .' i>
in< uis-> >1 uiuiu in liivur in iu^" uiiioriuuaie 1
cliant here, and then I ahull fotch ;uy ar- 'r
uincnta to a close. Hero is a poor man,
with a numerous wife and child depending cn
upon him for their daily broad and butter,
wantonly fotohed up bore and arranged be- ')l
fore an intellectual jury on the charge of gc
ignominiously hooking; yes, hooking, six ca
i [Harts of new eider. Vou, gentlemen, have Wl
ah lxvn placcd in the same situation, and vo
you know how to feel for the misfortunes of '4:i
my client, and 1 humbly calculate that you ni;
will not permit the gushing* of your symperthizing
hearts to be sijucnchcd in the IU(
lmd by the sunupiious and superogating
arguments of my ignorant opponent on the "
other sido. SCl
The law expressly declares, gentlemen,
in the beautiful language of Shakespeare,
that where no doubt exists of the guilt of J 1
the prisoner, it is your duty to lean up- "
1.1 the side of justice and fotch him in '1
innocont. If you keep tliis fact in view
in the ease of my client, gentlemen, you
will have the honor of making a friend of 1,1
him and all his relations, and you can allcrs |u
look npon this occasion and reflect with .?
])leasnre that yon did as you havo been dono 0
by; but, if on the other hand, you disrc- !?
j^ard this great principle of law, and set at
naught my eloquent remarks, and foteh
him in guilty, the silent twitches of con- ,IN
seieneo will follow you over every fair corn- >n
field, I reckon, and my injured and downtrodden
client will be pretty apt to light on ,l (
you some of these nightH, as my cat lights

Now Orloans, and stopped at the St. rn<

created a prodigious sensation, lie was a JU1

very drunk, so that from the time he land- \c
ed in the city until he left, he carried on
like a crazy man, paying fifty or a hundred no
times the value of everything ho bought. I yo;
lie gave a colored barber $20 for shaving '(|i<
him. ai)d refused to take any change ; paid I m<
half a dollar for a glass of liquor, declined ! |m
the ehango, and gave the barkeeper $20 10j.j
additio* vl as n free trift. On the latter ^01
being ?ejected, the planter crumpled up the tin
bill, threw it behind the counter, and f0l
walked off in a rage. lie had all bis pock- w0
ft < stuffed with bank notes of the denonii- to
nations of hundreds, fifties, and twenties, lia
which ho threw away recklessly. If he , rc;
ran against a person he dashed a handful ; f0,
of bills in his face. Not satisfied with this, j [n]
he after.vards paraded about with a linen hu
bag so full of silvr that it bent him down j dr<
to carry it. Whenever ho had a chance he i ty
paid for drinks, fee., with a handful of half |at
dollars. After a three days tour of this 0f
description, he packed up and travelled tei

Doesticks in Boston.?The famous
Ducsticks" has furnished the New York
ieayune an account of his visit to Boston,
out which the following extracts are made :
Ninety-nine extra-sized angle-worms loiinoting
at high-pressure speed about a
rdon-walk o.k a showery afternoon, and
iiigperpetually turned back when they
it to the edge, and compelled to cross
eh other's trail in innumerable directions,
mid, if the. ground wore soft and their
ry footstep plainly visible, draw on the
rden-walk aforesaid a tolerably accurate
ip of the city of Boston. Jt is crookcder
an nine acres 'of ram's horns, and has
>ro corners than a cord of cross-cut saws.
You see your friend, and you call out,
Tones, wait a miuuto," and you start to

root.
Misguided man '. far-distant Jones ! You
inib nine hills, and turn ninety corners
tore you get within hailing distance of
?ncs again.
The streets look as if they had been made
mewhere else, and dumped here in a huge
ngle, and nobody had never taken the
nible to straighten them out again. It
>ka as if somebody had been building a
j of cities by contract, and the job hadn't
mc out oven, and he had thrown down
s remnants of streets and odd ends of alfs,
and little snipped off bits of lanes and
cnucs, and called it Boston, if any
*eet in the town should be cut a straight
ile in any direction, it would go through
lozen private parlors and forty-live public
tisic halls. In fact Boston looks as if

a hill side and left to cool.

Always Finding Fault.?There are
certain people who canuot live without finding
fault. No matter what subject, or person
conies up in the course of couvcreation,
they start some frivolous objection, or make
some censorious remark. Instead of trying
to be in charity with their uoighbors,
they take malicious pleasure in speakiug
evil about them. They obstinately shut
their eyes to good qualities; while thov
employ microscopes to discover and magnify
evil ones; aud afterwards they torture
language to exaggerate what they have
seen, so as to depreciate as much as possible.
They do not, however, always speak
out boldly. But they deal in inuendoes,
in hints, and in ominious shakes of the
head. Instead of frankly assailing in front,
they assassinate behind the back. Practically,
they persuade others that all men
arc so evil, that there is not even a chance
of reform. Even in acts incontestibly
Rood, they pretend to find latent.selfishness.
They spend their lives in defiling human
nature, like the foul Yahoos whom the satirist.
has depicted. To believe them, there
are none virtuous but themselves ; all the
rest of mankind being knaves, brutes or devils.
The proverbial fault finder little fitSnlra
that, in censuring so maliciously and indiscriminately,
lie is only painting his own
portrait. It is a secvct consciousness of his
demerits, a gnawing rage at. the superiority
of others, which is the real cause of his
want of charity, the principal inducement
to his abuse. 1 lis own heart is the mirror
from which he describes mankind. The
best men have been those invariably who
spoke tlie most kindly of their race. The
groat type of all manhood, whose perfect
humanity is the admiration even of Pagans
and Atheists, never spoke in benignant
terms, having charity even for "publicans
and sinners." It is to his precept that we
owe the great doctrine of human brotherhood.
In the ideal of the fallen Lucifer,
we have, on the contrary, the incarnation
of malice, hate, slander, ill-will and evil
speaking. As the one is said to have come
to bring "peace and good-will to men," so
the other first defiled the fair creation with
strife, and sowed "war among the hosts of
heaven." We never hear a professed faultfinder,
but our thoughts recur to his type.
We never listen to the beneficent language
of one who is in charity with his race, without

Nkw Mill.?We learn that a gentleman
from Columbia has recently purchased
a lot near the spot selected for the depot
of the Blue 11. Railroad, and intends to
erect thereon, in a short time, a Steam
Flour and Ovist Mill. Our District has
long needed -;om -thing of the kind, and we
believe that the enterprising owner of such
a mill will be amply compensated for tlv
risk and expense of it? erection. The large
quantity of wheat now in the District is
more than can be ground for months to
come by the mills now in operation. Hut
a few days ago we were informed by the
owner of a mill about six miles from this
place, that persons were hauling wheat to
his mill from all parts of the District, and
that in ' i-ny cases they had to take it away,
owing to the fact that they could not hope
to got it ground in a reasonable time. A
good steam mill would soon remedy this
state of things, and we hoj>e soon to seo it
in operation.?Anderson Carolinian.
Oysters.?The process by which oysters
make their shells is a singular phenomenon
in natural science. A London oystcrman
can tell the ago of his flock to a
nicety. The age of this bivalve is not to
be found out by looking into his mouth.?
It bears its years upon its back. Everybody
who has handled an oyster shell must
have observed that it seemed as if compos
ed of successive layers or plates overlapping
each other. These are technically called
"shoots," and each of them make a year's

when the creature came into tho world can
at once be determined. Hp to the time
ot' its maturity, the shoots avo regular and
succcsflive, but after that time they become
irregular, and are piled one over the other,
ho that the shell becomes more thickened
and bulky. Judging from the great thickness
to which oyster shells have attained,
this mollusc is capable, if left to its natural
changes unmolested, of attaining a patriarchal
longevity.

throw passing eloud over the bright

over the hour of gloom ? Yot who would
