HOW TO MAKE A HORSE
DRINK.
'Our friend Judge Edmonds, who,
amid all his dry lab&s, relishes a joke
as well as another, tells some pleasant
stories of.incidents which. sometimes oo
cur on his country circuits. Among
them is one connected with the temper
ance cause, which two or three years
ago disturbed the State and agitated"oil
classes, by reason of the submission to
the ballot-box on the question whether
any licenses to sell liquor should be
granted. ' The Judge was holding court
in the country at the time the vote was
taken, and for a week or two afterwards,
and looked on with a curious eye to see
how the matter worked. He observed
especially the fact, that the strongest
vote againat licenses was generally giv
en in those towns where there was the
most drinking, and that in those towns,
and indeed generally, persons who had
been in the habit of drinking, now drank
harder than ever, could drink if they
pleased, and would, law or no law. He
therefore remarked that he never saw
so many drunken men in his life. When
he landed from the steamboat, the men
who ferried him over the river were
drunk; when he left the small boat, the
man who took him up into village kept
his horses on the run, and, drunk es a
lord, prided himself on driving within
a few inches of the edge of the road
without precipitating hisload,a hundred
feet down a ravine. Every body, in
short, seemed to be intoxicated; witnes
ses and parties came into court half
seas over. One witness fell inhis whole
length when leaving the stand; another
got asleep in court, rolled off the bench,
and had to be carried out of the room
another was so very "jolly," as they
called it, that he could not give his tes
timony in asober word at all. One af
ternoon of a delightful day, early in the
season, after the court bad adjourned,
the Judge was sitting on the porch of
his hotel, with several gentlemen around
him, whose attention ho was calling the
number of drunken men then within
sight, and ho and they were speculating
upon the effect of the law, and upon
the odd sort of feeling which had pry
duced such a result, when a man came
up to them most particularly tipsy. He
had some business with one of the par
ty, and boozy as lie was, showed that
he was a smart, shrewd fellow, and
withal fond of fun. When he had got
through his business, the Judge said to
him
"I suppose, my friend, you didn't
vote on the 'No License' side, this el
ection?"
"Didn't I, by --?' was the reply
"yes I did, though, I tell you."
"You did?' inquired the Judge; "how
did that happen?'
."Why, Judge, I'll tell you what it
is,' hiccuped the follow, "I'm a pretty
likely man, when I let liquor alone; it's
only when I get rum aboard of me that
I make a fool of myself."
"Well, why don't you let it alone
then?'
"0! you see Judge, that's easier said
than done. When I'm any whore it is,
I must have it, so I voted to shut 'em
all up."
"Oh! you see Judge, I was consta
ble five or six years, and then deputy
sheriff three years, and then sheriff
three years, and then constable agin; so
I've been about a good deal among the
boys, and got to drinking, and now I
can't stop. Judge, I'll tell you what,'
he contimued, with an apparent change
of the subject that no one could account
for "I, am the universal horse-doctor
down in the Highlands, where I live,
and if any body's horse gets sick the
come to me. The other day a fellow
came to me and said his horse was sick.
I asked him what was the matter with
his horse? He said lie wouln't drink,
and lhe asked me. whi ho .e.,1d d. to
