Butler and uis Dog.?The following anecdote of Ben. Butler, he says, never appeared in print; but as it illustrates the characteristics of the man, it is too good to be lost. Like all lawyers, Ben had a hard pull of it at the start, and perhaps the sharpness and acumen for which he is so universally telebrated, were acquired at this early period of his life, while he was striving for a practice, and the odds were brains or starvation. One day, while sitting in his office, Lorn entered a lonw-lefprftd. fannt. liatcliet ***W4W VMITV.? ? O OO 7 O 7 faced specimen of the genus Yankee, who looked sharp enough to make his meals of pins and needles, who thus accosted the fu* tare Congressman : . " Mr. Lawyer, I am going into a little law business, and as you seem to be a right smart, plucky sort of a chap, I thought that I might as well give you the job." ' All right," said the Jawyer, "you can't trust your case in better hands." "Well then. I had a ham hanging in an out-shed and a neighbor's dog came along and eat it." ' Make the fellow pay for damages." " That's the talk, Mr. Lawyer," said the Yankee, with a small sly beginning to work around the corner of his eye and mouth, "but you see?I don't see as it makes any difference?the dog was yourn." " ?1 ^I? 1 " What aoyou vaiuc me uaui at. <wa.?u Butler, drawing out his wallet. "Well, I guess five dollars will be letting you off cheap," said the yankee, " for it was au all-fired' good ham!" Without uttering a word of protest, Butler paid the money, and then said: "There is your damage for your ham; now fork over your ten dollars." " \That for ?" enquired the yankee, in his turn astonished. " For mj legal advice," said Butler: "you .don't suppose I cau work without a fee, do you ?" Mr. Yankee was bit; so drawing a face as long as his legs, he slowly counted out the mouey, and inwardly vowed he would bring no more business before the youthful, 'ouj razor-like dispenser of Coke and Bh^gtonc Why He Lwt. Mr. F a C0l0red barber ill ooe of our ? ? England towns, was shaving one of ^Ig customerS) a rcSpec. table citizen^on^ m0ming. when a conversa iron between the two, respecting Mr. former connection with the color^'jj church in that place : "I believe you are connected with the church in Elm street, Mr. Dickson," said the customer. "No, sah. not all." "Why, arc you not a member of the African church V' "Not dis year, sah." "Why did you leave that communion, Mr. Dickson, if I may be permitted to ask 1" Why, I tell you, sah," said Mr. Dickson, stropping a Concave razor on the palm of his baud. "It was jess life dis?I jined that church in good faith. I gib ten dollars toward the stated preachin' ob dc gospel de . fust year, and de people call me Brudder Dickson. De second year my business was not berry good, and I only gib five dollars. Dat year de church people call me Mr. Dickson. Dis razor hurt you sah ?" "No, sir, it goes tolerably well." Well, sah, de third year I feel bery poor? in mv familv?and I crib nothing for preachin.' Well, sah, after dat, dey call me old Nigger Dickson au I left' 'em." Se saying, Mr. Dickson brushed his customer's hair, who was well satisfied with the reason why Mr. Dickson left the church. Mansabds Vindicated.?We have felt rather kindly toward French roofs since Friday night. Two cats got on Mr. Wclland's that evening. They were cats that evidently never saw a French roof before, but they were not timed. They bumped themselves without a moment's pause, soended the battle cry and went to work. For two minutes there was a great deal of pulling around nnd howling; but it was a French roof, it was new ground, and, before they were fairly &ware or it. thev were off the roof and going toward the earth at lightning velocity, pawing out iu the air for something to get hold of, spitting and crying and swearing and beseeching and sobbing, with their hearts full of agony and their mouths full of fur, all the way down to the ground, where they arrived in a condition to afford nourishment to Mr. Welland's grape viues.?Danbury Xncs. Tue Cadi's Decision.?A poor Turkish slater of Constantinople, being at work upon the roof of a house, lost his footing and fell into the narrow street upon a man. The pedestrian was killed by the concussion, while the slater escaped without material injury. A son of the deceased paused the slater to be arrested. Tho Cadi listened attentively, and in the end asked the slater what he hud to say in his defense. "Dispenser of Justice." answered the acccused, "it is evcu as this mau says: but /I -1 r?*k^? ?1 ?1 1J 1 ;| _ *JUU 1uiuiu mac ciicic nuuuiu UU CV11 111 IilJ heart. I am a poor man, and know not how to make amends." The son of the man who had been killed thereupon demanded that condign punishment should be inflicted upon the accused. The Cadi meditated a few moments, and finally said: "It shall be so." Then to' the slator he said: "Tbou shalt stand in the street where the father of this young man stood when thou didst fall on him." And to the accuser he added: "Thou shalt, if it pk'Jiso thee, o upon the roof, and fall upon the culprit, even as he fell upon thy father. Allah be great." A Tryino Position.?A gentlemanly I conductor was collecting tickets from his ijasscngers. All handed over tickets prompty except one fat old lady who sat next the door, and who seemed to be reaching down to get something she bad dropped on the floor. When her titno came to pay, she raised her head and thus addressed the blushing conductor: "I allurs, when I travels, carry my money in my stock in', for you see nothin' can get at it thar, and I'd just thank you, young man, just to reach it to ine, as I'm so jammed in that I can't get at ' it. I forgot to get a ticket at the depot." j The conductor glanced at the other passengers, soino of whom were laughing at his plight; one or two young ladies among them blushed scarlet, and he heat a sudden retreat, muttering something about not charging old ladies, etc. His cash was short that trip the faro of one passenger. yi GREAT INDUSTRIES M ENGBAVINOS, PRINTED ^/\r^ENCLIfUI AX1> QRR^/A/nsnnV^v man- writtes by 20 VI VMINENT authors, in*W lwVPIKnB"KM C1DDIN0 JNO D.

TIIESE Spectacles are manufactured from "MINUTE CRYSTAL PEBBLES," melted together, and are called DIAMOND on account of their hardness and brilliancy. It is well known that Spectacles cut from Brazilian or Scotch Pebbles are very injurious to the eye. because of their polarizing effect. Having been tested with the polarscopr. the diamond lenses have been found to adrult fllte* n per cent, less heated ravs than any other pebble. They are ground with great scJ'entiflc accuracv, are free from chromatic aberrations. anj produce a brightness and distinctness of vision not before attained in Spectacles. Manufactured by the 8pencer Optical Manufacturing Company, New York. F.ov Bale hv J. A. YOUNG, Camden, S. C. ?,r, w aom they ear..only be obtained.
