I V >4rr J — ■ J MM- ■ Be W*»ted Oaly Fire HHsald. The recent election of Judge J. T. Thmtmra to the mijomtty of DelUi, Texes, ctlU to mmd on incident which happened to him in the ipining districts of Colorado in ita earlj history. The judge, then a fledgling attorney, procured a through ticket from the railroad ter minus on the back of n broncho—a cross between a civilised mule and a wild ass -Mind journeyed toward his future home, the suburbs of which he reached one af ternoon about sundown. Riding to the centre of the village ho found a group of men surrounding n horse-rack, which resemble* a horixonlal bar with pegs in it, ovedfcrhich the bridle rein is thrown to hold the anioul; over the horse* rack was a rope, at one end ot the rope & noose, nnd filling the noose a man's neck, to which was attached the balance of him. The command had just been given by the leader to “h’ist away,” when the proceedings were interrupted by the judge, who asked of what crime the prisoner had been convicted. He was told that the man had been caught (in hour before with a couple of horses not hi* own, and he was known to be a chronic horse thief. “ But, gentlemen,'’ said the judge, rig* ing in his stirrups and thinking his op portunity had arrived for making a fa vorable impression on the law-abiding clement, “this summary proceeding is not right. You would not hang this man without giving him the benefit of a trial and the chance of a verdict by a jury of his countrymen—bis peers ? No, gentlemen, I feel assured that an appeal to your cooler judgment, ami a protest, which I here earnestly enter, in the name of justice, will prevent the com* mission of this barbarous outrage—this crime, of which in the heat of passion you arc about to be guilty. Yes, gentle men, give the man the protection of the court ; and if he stands in need of legal advice my services are at his command. My diploma—” “ Stranger,” *aid tire leader, quietly interrupting him, “this claim is registered ; we’vo struck n lead, on’ it’s a going t’ pan out ’cording t’ previous calc’lation. Stranger, you ken hev wuu hour tu prospect fer the su burbs uv tbis ere camp. The judge, to use bis own cxpicssion, “tumbled” to the situation at once, and grasping the reins he settled down in the saddle and replied : “ My dear sir, I am grateful for your generosity. You give me an hour to get out of your town, but if the strings holds and this blame mule don't buck, all I waut is five minutes,’’ and clapping the enormous rowels into the flanks of the beast the judge ad journed tine die. How f Do Up Shirt Mosomw. Take two table-spoonfuls best starch, add a very little water to it, rub and stir with a spoon into a thick paste, carefully breaking all the lumps and particles. Add a pint of boiling water, stirring at the same time; boil half an hour, utirring occasionally to keep it from burning. Add a piece of "enamel ’’ the size of a pea; if this is not at band, use a table-spoonful of gum Arabic solution (made by pouring boiling water upon gum orabic aud standing until clear and trahaparent); or a piece of cloan mutton tallow half ihc size of a nutmeg, and a tea-spoon of silt will do, but it is not ns good. Strain the starch throrgli a strain er, or piece of thin muslin. Have the shirt turned wrong side out; dip the bosoms carefully in the starch aud squeeze out, repeating the operation un~ til the bosoms arc thoroughly and evenly saturated with the starch; proceed to dry. Three hours before ironing dip the bosoms in clean water; wring ont and roll up tightly. First iron the back by folding it lengthwise through the cen tre ; next iron the wristbands, and both aides of the sleeves; then the collar band ; now place (be bosom board under the bosom, and with a dampened napkin rub the bosom from the top toward the bottom, and -smoothing and arranging each plait neatly. With a^sraooth, mod erately hot iron, begin at the top and iron .downward, and continue the opera tion until the bosom is perfectly dry and (fhining. Remove the bosom board, nnd iron the front of the shirts. The bosoms and cufis of shirta—indeed of all nice, fine work, will look cleaner and better if they are first ironed under a piece of - thin old muslin. It takes oflf the first heat of the iron, and removes any lumps of starch. Mr. Talmage’s advance agent tele graphs from London that his attraction li taking in $4,000 a night, souls are turned away from the doors into the out er darkness with gnashing of teeth by hundreds, and “applications by. thou sands are pouring In lor Mr. Talmagc to preach and footnre. 1 ' Newspaper peo ple are apt when dealing with the advan ce agent of a circus, to make a liberal de- ductiou from his poster* describing the the unsurpassed glory of his spotted steeds and his spangled sirens and the knmenae financial auooesa of his *< <Ai man,* still we devoutly hope that all due may be true, for if it is Hr. Tal- msge may be prevailed upon to stay in Soglaod—New York Workl, Anecdote of Ben nutlet*. Ben Butler was called on by a person sho wanted to have a talk with him. “ Mr. Butler,” said he, “ one of my neighbor's cows jumped my garden gate last night and completely destroyed my flower beds. Tiie gate was of the height required by law, and was closed. N(iw I wish to know whether I can obtain damages?” “ Most assuredly,” replied the widow’s friend. . Well, Mr. Butler, how much ?” “ Oh ! about ten dollars.” “But, Mr. Butlpr,” triumphantly, “ the cow was yours. ’* “ Ah !”said Mr. Butler, thoughtfully, and he looked unutcrablc things out of his bad eye. Then ho turned to his desk, scia'chcd off a few lines on apiece of paper and handed it to his visitor. It was in the form of an account, and read as follows .* “ B. F. Butler to Mr. , dr. To damages caused by cow, $10 ; by legal advice, cr., 15; balance due me, $5.” “Mr. /’said Mr. Butler, “you needn’t hurry about the payment.” A Mad Ilarglar Hunt. In Kansas City last week T. 0. Noo nan and wife were awakened early one morning, and supposing robbers to be in the bouse, Noonan went into the front room followed by bis wife. She became frightened and threw her arms around his neck and lie, supposing himself as sailed by robbers, fired, killing her in stantly. They are welb to-do people, who came here a few years ago from Milwaukee, where Noonan was a promi nent merchant. Ho is a graduate of Yale College. CSE-’VEMAI. QUUWS. The proposal to settle the question as to who shall be the next Republican can didate for the Presidency by a Graeco- Roman wrestling match between lto.seoc Conkling and James Q. Blaine, is re ceived with considerable favor among the opponents of a third term. n If w f e may believe what wc hear, the honored President of the Western and Atlpntie Railroad, and cx-Governor of the State of Georgia, commenced life by plowing with a bull calf. Hoiv many young men of the codfish aristocracy persuasion commence life uow-a-days in that way. The latest site proposed for the World's Fair in 1883 is Governor’s Island, about half a mile south of the southern extremity of New York City. Many advantages for this site arc claimed but the island, being a fortified post of the United Stales, would not be likely to be surrendered for such an enterprise. Wash a baby up clean and dress him up real pretty, nnd he will resist all ad vances with the most superlative cross* r.c.«s ; but let him eat molasses ginger bread and fool around in the saud for half an hour, and he will nestle his 1 dear little dirty face close up to your clean shirt-besom, and be just the lovingest, cunuingest little rascal in a!!the world. At the funeral of Gen. James Shields in Corrohton, Mo., the two swords pre sented to him by the State of Illinois and South Carolina for gallantry in the Mexican war were crossed over the coffin. The gift of Illinois cost $2,000 and that of South Carolina $8,000, and both arc richly studded with jewels. It is a remarkable fact in connection with the vicissitudes of the old hero that these swords were for a long time in pawn at one of ihc Carrollton banks for money to keep the General from actual suffering. The Albany (Ga.) Advertiser says: “ Wo know a man who wants to Ret a suit of clothes that Cox, the murderer of Colonel Alston, although convicts*.! by a jury of his country, nnd sentenced to imprisonment for life, will never be sent to the penitentiary. It makes us turu red in tbe face, for tbc sake of the laws of our State, when a man flings such a banter as that at us, but then there ir not enough faith iu the jnst and impartial execution of those laws left within us to bear us up in taking the bet. ” 267 King St, Charleston, S. 0. mi AND A LABOE COLLECTION CT ITR.A.M EH at moderate prim. 17-1 jr imm ioisb.
