^musing Heading, j A GAMBLING TRIAL IN CALI- ! FORNIA. There is such a place as "Deadwood" in California. A friend of ours passed through the town the other day, but stopped long i enough to witness a trial before the chief of- j ficer of the law, vulgarly called a Justice of : the Peace. v The case was "Hanks vs. Breese," and the faois were: First. That the parkife'had violated the law by playing "poker" on the Sabbath. (It ] is, perhaps proper to state that the good 1 folks of Deadwood had not se^a the Supreme ! Court decisons.) Second. That Breese played very "low down," or, in other words, cheated plaintiff. Third. That the game broke up in a row, rfiao Kninr* oprootorl Kv fVlP ?TllSticG? l?uv ftw VVIU^ unvovvv* v f . _ w ^ f who happened to be present. It was an important case. Both parties J were well known, and had hosts of friends, i The defendant, through his attorney, a sharp : little man, demanded a jury. The legal preliminaries having been prop- j erly arranged, the case was called. Twelve i of the best men in the locality formed the | jury. The attorneys were big with the event of the hour. At length the odd looking genius, named Stephen Lich, was placed on ! the stand by the prosecution. The case pro- j ceeded. 'You said you were present during the ! game between the parties. Did we so un-! derstand you, Mr. Lich V The witness nodded in the affirmative. 'Did you observe the game with any inte-1 rest ?' 'I reckon I did?lickerwaspendin' on it.' 'What was the amount at stake, at the time the row occurred ?' 'Well, the ante was two bits, and Lem Hanks bet a half on his little par. Then Bill he went in ' 'Never mind the details,' interrupted the lawyer, impatiently; 'answer my question.' 'That's what I'm going to do,' replied the witness, drawing a large plug of tobacco from his pocket. 'You see when Lem dropped his half on the pot, Bill kivered it with a big dollar, 'cause I stood just whar I could sec that he helt a little par, too. Lem he then took a drink, and 'peared sort o' keerless ' 'Come, come,' again interrupted the lawyer, 'tell tis the amount of money at stake at the time the quarrel commenced.' 'Steve,' said the Judge, familiarly, 'you say that when Bill Breese shoved up his dollar, Lem Hanks took a sniffer, and 'pearcd sort o' kcerless. What did he. do thai ?' 'Why, he seed Bill and lifted hitn two scads. Bill he 'peared a little UDeasy, but raised Lem a five. Lem he took another drink, and said the game was gettin' interesting at the same time shaking a ten dollar piece out on the same pot. Bill he then said, 'Lem you kinder suit me,' and called out 'twenty better.' Then ' The lawyers here protested against this manner of giving evidence, but they were overruled by the Court, who asked the witness what the parties did then. 'Then we all tuck a small dtink, and Lem spread himself. ?I sec the matter of twenty ! dollars,' said he, 'and you go thirty better.'' 'Will the constabla please keep order in the Court-room, so that the jury kin ketch i all the words!' cried one of the jurors. The witness proceeded : 'Bill he then ' got down to scratch his feet, and when he got up he lifted Lem twenty more. Then Lem began to look distressed, and pushed his shirt sleeve up to keep it from gettin' dirty, I s'pose, but cum up bitne by like a >> uiau mvu | 'Slop., stop,' shouted out ODe of the lawyers, whose patience was exhausted. 'We do not care about so much detail, but desire simply to know what amount of money is in dispute.' 'Mr. Constable,' followed the Judge, who was deeply interested in the witness's story, "do your duty." Then fixing his eyes upon the witness, ho asked : 'Steve, my boy, when Bill plunged his thirty better, what did Leui come up with ?' 'Why, Lem he lifted him a cool fifty.' The Judge collapsed. 'Gentlemen of the Jury, that's so, for I was thar, and so I seen Lem do it.' By one of the Jury: 'What did Bill do then ?' 'Bill he took another look at his hand, afid then got down and scratched his foot again. When he come up he said to me, said he, 'Steve lend, me a hundred dollars.' Says, I, 'what fur?' He said, 'to clean out Lem Hanks.' I said, 'it can't be did on your par of juces, for he's got bully sixes.' 'Good thing,' says he, giving me a wink.? 'Kiver his pile, and I'll call him.' 1' 'Never mind what you d'c,' said the lawyer for defendant, 'that h?s nothing to do with the merits of the case.' The Judge gave the lawyer a terrible look. Then turning to the witness, he said, Steve, if the Court recollects he self, then you came up with the spondulicks, and Bill Breese tuck down Lem's pile.' This annoucement was followed by murmurs of dissatisfaction. The attorney for the plaintiff was the first to speak. 'Now, if your honor pleases,' said he, 'I would like to ask you aquestian. How comes it that the defendant got that money, if he only had a pair of duces against my client's sixes ?' 'Yes,' said several members of the jury, 'how could that happen ?' 'Bill did have juces fust?I'll swear to that,' resnmed the witness, 'but somehow when it came to the last, he was stronger.' The lawyers, thinking he was about to continue the story to an endless length, requested him to be brief. Taking a fresh chaw, Steve said : ?The way of it was this: when I kivered the pile, Bill called Lem. Says he, 'Bern, what have you for yourself?' 'I have three of 'em,' says Lcm, reaching out his arm. 'Three ichat'i' says Bill. 'Nice little spots, all in the middle of the kecrd,' says Lem, laying his fist on the money. 'Show 'em,' says Bill. 'Thar they be/ says Lem.? 'That's clever,' says Bill, 'but they can't win this pop.' ?TIow so ?' says Lem, puttiu' his hand on his revolver. 'Cause here's four of the same sort,' says Bill, puttin' one hand on the money and the other on his revolver. All I know is, Bill got the pot before he was arrested.' The lawyer for the plaintiff intended to have made a good case in relation to the manner in which defendant's hand became strengthened from a little pair of "juices" to four aces; but to do so, he would probably have been called on to explain how Lem got his three <'ppots..' The Judge saw though the case at once. I He charged the jury that if they thought J there was any thing wrong in a man scratch- j ing his foot during a game of poker, they would so find : but if they thought such a movement was on the square, they would also be likely to pass over the act of fauib- i ling With shirt sleeves, committed by plain- ! tiff. The "charge" was followed by demon- j strations of approval, such as yelling, throwing up hats, &c. # The jury after beiug out just three minutes, brought in a verdict to the effect that it was a "draw game," and the Judge thereupon dismissed the case. A Good Text.?That was a strikingly intelligent person who called upon a sigD painter to have a Sunday School procession banner painted, and said? We're goin' to have a great tearin' time with our Fourth o' July Sunday School Celebration, and our folks wants a banner.' Wall,' naturally enongh responded the painter, <y3u ovi/Jit to have one. What will you have painted on it?' 'Wall, I d'n know; we ort*to have a text o' skripter painted onto it for a motto, hadn't we ?' 'Yes ; that's a very good idea ; what shall it be ?' 'Well, I thought this would be about as good as any, 'Be sure you're right and then go ahead !' ? ? Wake Money.?A good looking Irishman stopping at a hotel to warm himself, inquired of the landlord, 'What was the news The landlord, disposed to run upon him, replied, 'They say the devil is dead.' 'An' sure,' says Pat, 'that news indado.'? Shortly after he went to the bar, laid down some coppers and resumed his sent. The landlord, always ready for a customer, asked him what he would take. 'Nothing at all,' said Pat 'Why did you put down this money?' 'An' sure sir, it is the custom in me own country, when a chap loses his daddy to give him a few coppers to help him pay for the wake.' Too Near the Hedge.?In a village of Picardy, after a long sickness, a farmer's wifeiell into a lethargy. Ilcr husband was willing, good man, to believe her out of pain ; and so, according to the custom of that country, she was wrapped in a sheet and carried out to be buried. But, as luck would have it, the bearers carried her so near a hedge that the thorns pierced the sheet, and waked the woman from her trance. Some years after, she died in reality; and, as the funeral passed along, the husband would every now and then call out?'Not too near the i * - . a. ? neage, not too near ui?; iicugc, uCiguwi. B&' When galvanic rings were sold to ! cure every ill that flesh is heir to, a lady asked of a friend who fondly cherished the delusion, "if galvanic rings would cure depression of spirits?'' "What has caused them ?" said the latter. "The loss of a husband," mournfully replied the lady. "For that," said he, holding forth his little finger, upon 1 which was the wedding-riug of his deceased wife, "gold is better. Let me place this on the third finger of your left hand, and I can warrant a perfect cure." ^ The late Dev. Dr. , of a neighboring town, an eccentric, but honest rainis: ter, was once preaching on the practical virtues, and having a short time previous bought a load of wood of one of the officers | of his church, and finding it fall short in j measure, took this occasion to speak thus ; plain on the subject: 'Any man that will sell 7 feet ofirood for a cord, is no christian, whether heT&s in the gallery, below, or even in the deacon's seat.' Diggs saw a note lying on the ground, but knowing it was a counterfeit, walked on without picking it up. lie told Smithers the story, when latter said? 'Do you know, Diggs, you have comrait: ted a very grave offence?' 'Why, what have I done ?' 'You have passed a counterfeit bill, knowing it to be such,' said Smithers without a C ' smile, and fled. fiQT IIow many common figurative ex' prcssions in our language arc borrowed from ' the art of carpentry, may be seen in the folI lowing sentence : 'The lawyer who filed a bill, shaved a note, cut an acquaintance, split a hair, made an entry, pot up a case, framed an indictment, impannelled a jury, put theui i into a box, nailed a witness, hammered a ; judge, and bored a whole court, has since ; laid dowu law and turned carpenter.' ?3"1 A certain Irishman received for his , labor a one dollar bill on one of the Ohio I Banks, on which he was obliged to lose ten . ' cents discount. The next day he was pasj sing down Main street and saw a dollar bill : lying on the sidewalk, on the same Bank, ! and gazing on it he exclaimed : 'Bad luck j to the likes of ye?there may ye lie ; divil j a finger will I put on ye, for I lost ten cents : by a brother of yoursyesterday.' Egf 'Where was the man stabbed, sir ?' I I said an excited man one night, to a physi| cian. 'The man was stabbed about an inch and , 1 a half to the left of the medial line, and about an inch above the umbilicus,' was the , ! reply. 'Oh yes, I understand now. But I I j thought it was near the Court House.' The following verse contains every j j letter in the English alphabet except "e." 1 j It is a question whether any other in Eng- j ' lish rhyme may be produced in print without the letter "e," which is a letter more I used than any other : "A jovial swain may rack liis brain, And tnx his fancy's might; To quiz in vain, for 'tis more plain That nhat I say is right." A newly imported 'help' atter being i established iu a Fifth Avenue palace as maid | of all work, was seen shortly afterwards with j | a pail full of slops from the kitchen careful- j ly exploring the parlors, and drawing room, ' and other places, as if in search of something j ; which she could not find At last, meeting ! j the lady of the house she inquired, seriously, I j ?if you plase mistress, where's the pig?' 1 I?* A witty rogue, brought before a Pari' sian tribunal for a drunken riot, one day, as: sured the Court that he was not a drunkard, but being bitteu, when a child, by a mad dog, he ever since had a horror of water. i B&~ Laziness travels so slowly, that pov- j I erty soon overtakes her. I ^farmer's Jlcprlntenl. RESOURCES OF 3. CAROLINA. A correspondent of the Pendleton Afes- j scncjrr writes : "What is it that we cannot, raise that is necessary to subsistence, south of 3G? 30' ? We can grow as good corn, as good wheat, barley, oats, tobacco, rice, hemp, indigo, potatoes, and every variety of vegetable; and last, though not least, that great lever of the world, cotton, whose name is King." Salt, we are deficient in, but we don't obtain that article from the North ; aud as for coflce, we will filibuster about until we will have that article annexed. The culture of the grape is beginnjug to arres; the attention of many. We were told by - ^ A LL.m!11a raVisv nAnr onnrn. 17r. J.ongO, Ot IVOuevmc, uuu 10 nun gcd, successfully, in making wine, that this country is well adapted to it. All that is necessary is to understand it properly. Some predict that it is the province of the grape to civilize the world?to supercede the use of mountain dew. In France, wo are told, it is a rare thiDg to see drunkenness, yet they all drink wine, more or less. All we want, then, to be a great agricultural people, is to reduce our farming more to a science. Tocultivate less land, and cultivate it better, manure more, and clear less. It is said that the article of guano will make a great revolution in affairs. Fifty per cent, yield is what they estimate it at in the lower add middle Districts, where they are using quantities of it. As regards the mineral resources of the South, every day is making greater developments. As for our manufacturing departments, we aoj sadly lukewarm. "We must shake off that lethargy which has so long bound us baud and foot. It is true, we have some few in existence, but none, comparatively speaking, with what we ought to have. In many portions -of the South, we have as fine water-power as there is any use for. Then let us stud our streams with them, and no longer protect ourselves '?? flift vrrnofVior tuifh I ruill IUU lUUIUUlCUUJT Ul bub nvavuv* ......

Let us disentral ourselves as much as possible from them, and bring them to terms; or, if not, when the day arrives for separation, we can without, inconvenience, fall back upon our own resources. We only wish that Mr. Boyce's great hobby could be successfully carried out?direct trade, direct taxation. Let U3 all be equalized in making the revenue for defraying governmental expensess; not have a tariff for the protection nf one-half of the government at the sacrifice of the other." Cotton*.?Our cousins over the water seems to have an unfortunate proclivity to go into fits about twice a year, on the subject of the supply o? Ootton, and the imminent danger of their interests falling into our keeping. A cautious observer may readily perceive that these attacks, violent ns they seeui to be, are periodical, premeditated, and easily managed. About the time the planter is getting ready to pitch his crop, meetings are- got up to show him that the supply will not*be equal to the demand; apd no sooner is the first blossom, or boll, nv birr r>iekinfr. Dublished, than the press v" ~"r> i o/ A begins to teem with accounts of an overwhelming supply. The speculators on this side of the water, play into the hands of their fellows on the other side; the press, greedy after every tit-bit of news, publishes, as truth, the statements of traveling correspondents, paid to collect the right sort of information. The sceptre, however, is rapidly departing from them. The planters are out of debt?our enemies have drawn a line about the cotton region?there is but little spirit of speculation?labor is scarce, and wages high and the planter, feeling perfectly secure, holds on to his cotton-bales, and sells when it suits his own convenience. He has forgotton all about the old bugga-boo of over-production, and can sleep soundly over the prospect of a three-and-a-half million crop In truth, the world is rapidly embracing the delusion, as the Yankees say, that cotton is king?it is the great peace-maker?that the world is more dependent upon it than it is upon the "rest of mankind"?that there are thousands of uses to which it may yet be converted?that it may enter into combination with silk, andt wool, and flax, cheapening them, and.forcing them into thousands of channels hitherto unknown ?that the greater the supply the greater the demand; for human ingenuity, in the improvement of machinery, and cheapening the manufacture, will keep ahead of over-production, and force cotton shirts and breeches to be worn by thousands in China, Indiaj and Africa, who are now too poor to indulge in such ;xtravagance.?Farmer tfc Plantrr.
