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.

DIAMOND SPECTACLES.
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

? * .,e great demand for these Spectacles has Induced
unscrupulous dealers to palm an Inferior and spurlons
article for the " Diamond." Great care should be taken
to see that the trade mark (which Is protected by American
Letters Patent) are stamped on every pair.
