TERBOEIZED JURISTs. hriing Experience of Two Lawyers with a Bear. From the San Francisco Cal. In the foothills of Sonoma county, not maur miles from the town of Petaluma, there is a neat, cosy country house, built on a knoll. It is covered with climbling roses, white, pink and yellow, carefully trained, and ihe foilage and blossom is here and there intertwined with jessimline and Eng lish honeysuckle. From a broad por tico in front of the building one ob tains a view that is enchanting. At the foot of the g-rassy slope that leads to the dwelling runs a silvery stream, in the pools of which disport the beau tiful and speckled trout. This place, one of the iost pleasant in that sec tion of the county, is the home of the Lawlers, the parents of Judge Lawler, of the police court of this city. When ever the Judge seeks relaxation from official cares, he takes a run up to that home to inhale pure country air and expunge from his lungs the foul dust laden atmosuihere of his court. One Saturday a few weeks since he sta:-ted Sonomaward, and on the train fell in with one of the legal lights who practice in the criminal courts--a gen tleman noted for the eloquence which time and again has entranced the occu pants of the back seats of the police courts. "Judge," said Judge Lawler, ex tending the hand of friendship to him, "on your way into the country for a little outing?" "Yes, your honor," responded the party addressed, who, at one time., hung over the door of a primitive shanty in Carson, in the early days of the Comstock excitement, a shingle. on which was traced in rude charac ters, the awe-inspiring words: "Offiee of the Justice of the Peace.-M. Burns, Justice." "If you have no particular objective point, and would like to stay over Sunday," said Judge Lawler, "come up with me, and if you are fond of hunting, we'll go up in the hills to morrow and seek the jack rabbit, the cotton-tail, and if we don't happen to cite a deer we may run across a bear." "Judge, you honor me; I was about to offer an excuse, butwhen you spoke of the possibility of meeting a bear, then you touch me in a tender spot, and I will avail myself of your kind uness," said Judge Burns, his rubi cund face shining smiles. "Do von know, Judge," continued he, "that if there is anything upon which I pride myself it is bear-hunting. I have .spent hours following the trail of some monster bruin in the canyons of the Sierra, and Indian-like, have sneeked up to him and plunged the deadly bowie into him or sent a bullet from a nininie rifle or six-shooter crashing through his brain. Oh, its glorious sport. Just show me, Judge, where there is a bear trail and I'll show von some rare sport." The journey was finished, and bright and early on Sunday the two jurists started on their moraing peregrination in the shadv wildwoods in the rear of the Lawler: home, each carrying arms of the most improved patterl. "There, your honor," said Judge Burns, suddenly striking an attitude and bringing a rifle en jeu, "that's the position to strike when you see a -bear." "And as you speak," said Judge Lawler, "if I am not mistaken, there is a bear trail 'on the road in front of us." "Them.s bear prints," said Judge Burns, who got down on his knees to examine them. While speaking he chanced to raise his head, and fifty yard from him, moving leisurely along, he saw a bear of the cinnamon species, and, without changing his position, uttered in an undertone, "Judge, run to cover; the bear's comning!" Judge Lawler crossed the road at a jump, and never stopped till he reached the top of the most convenient pine. On his way up, finding that a fowling piece was an incumbrance in lively climbing, he allowed it to drop to the ground. When he had reached a place of safety and was resting from the exertion of ascending without "ladder or steps, he looked around for his valiant companion, the great bear hunter of the Sierra, and failed to see the Judge, but observed on the ground, at the point where he had last seen the irresistible nimrod, the rifle which the Jud~ had carried. Close to the dis weapon was the cinnamon mnonster th tbe-shaggy coat, pacing the road from one side to the other. Judge Lawler's first thought was that the bear- had swallowed his comupanion, but almost simultaneously his fears were relieved by the voice of his van ished companion exclaiming, in fright ened tones: "For God's sake, Judge, don't move, or he'll be up the tree after us." Turning in the direction of the voice, Judge Lawvler saw the nimrod of the Sierra astride of a branch of an adja cent oak, which was quivering like an aspen. "Why don't you shoot him?:" queried the police judge. "I can't," camne the tremulous an swer; "my rifle's in the road, and inv pistol dropped out of ray pocket as ~I was making for this branch. I wonder if he can climb?" Just thien the bear put his paws against the tree and reared up as if about to answer the question, and the nimrod of the Sierra fled up with a 'yell to the topmost twig of the oak, where lie hung like a woodpecker. Several bour-s were spent in this de ]ightful fashion, each jurist wildly hugging his tree, while the bear passed from one to the other, ever antI anion making a feint to climb, and once in a while amusing himself by pawing the firearms that lay on the ground. At length, just as the brute took a notion to move off out of sight in the brush, a farmer was seeni coming down the Sroad, and he was haled with "Alh, ~ere," to which camne the well known reply, "stay there." "That's just what we don't want to do," i nrlied -1 ulge llurns. "Maybe sorre of you fellers haven't seen a cinnaraocn bear around here, have vou?" asked the farmer. "Maybe we have," mournfully r plied Judge Durns, ''and may be we haven't been kept up here for three bzoars by that ferocious brute." The farmier chuckled and then called I out: "Here. Junm; here, Jim," whereupon the bear starte.I in his direction the same as a pet dog would bave done, and the farmer- tturned, followett by his< bear, iut before going lie reimarked : "Getlemen, thats a ref bear I raised 'since a cub.;mnd vwouldn't hurt a baby. I'm mutch obliged to you for not hay- 2 ing shot at him. Good day." The two jurists descended from thieir places of safety, and registered a sol- l: emun vow to preserve the story a gr-im secret all the days of their lives; but ti aomhow it got mnt A DISGUACEFUL PICTURE. How the Inmatcn of the St. Loute Workhouse are Treated. An afternoon paper in St. Louis. Mo. itublishes a lonr sensational article which chiims to be a faithful report of the inside mn:aement of the St. Louis Workhouse. The gist of the publication is as follows: NoTinally a prisoner is allowed 50 cents a day for his work, but by arbitrary :nd Mean deductions this is reduced to 30 or 40 cents. For instance. no pay is given f' Sundav and one half of Saturday's pay is deducted to sustain the expense of the alleged superior food which is furnished on that day. Once a week all of the white pr1,1soners, numibering. about 200C. are re guir<.d to hathe in one tank 65 feet long, froma wh Wiich the water is never drawn until the whole number have washed tlemselvcs in it. Not : few of them are :illicted with dlisgusting diseases, while others are coy cred with ulcers and running sores. which are by means of the haths connici(atedt to the unaillieted. The 50 negroes are re <ired to bathe in the s:ne manner. though in a tresh supply of water. :and the whole 250 are furnished with but four towels. The cells in which they are confined when not at work are 12 by 15 feet in size, and into each are crowded eight ien. In a case of sickness the patient is placed in a cell of inferior accommodations, in which are also contined the insane patients and those of the newcomers for whom room cannot be found or made in other cells. The food at the workhouse is inferior in quality and iusuiicient. the bread being tot, hard to Cat and the coffee too weak it) taste. The wat er given to the men to drink while at their work is dipped from the cat tIle trough. and the stone workers in the quarries drink from the sue bucket as the mules and horses. One of the worst features of the inanagnement is the laxity of discipline and the indifference of the war den and guiards as to what the prisoners say and do while unemployed. At the noon hour. instead of the tmen being re turned to their cells, they are hutled pro niscuously into the corridors, where they remain until called to their work. Htere, huddled together, they eat that portion of their dinner which they have been unable to constme while at the table, throw the refuse at each other, play cards, smoke. scvcar, tight and indulge in the use of dis gusting Uanage, all unrestrained by any guard. In regard to the puniishmnent of offenders against the workhouse rules the writer says the prisoners may be either con fined in the bull pen or dark cell or 'strung up." The latter punishment consists of hanging the offender up by the wrists and keeping him in this position until obedience to the rules is promised. While There is Life There is Hope.

The Philadelphia Record makes some sensible remarks with regard to overgrown newspapers. The majority of readers want winnowed news. They do not like to search through a page of padding to find a para graph of fact. Condensed news and curt coniments thereupon can be taken in along with the evening repast, and the reader rises from his table in possession of all the news of the day. Hand him a sheet full of long articles and he will not take time to riad more than one of them, if lie does that. This is what makes a paragraphic paper like THE COLUMmA REcORD so pop ular.
