Carnes’ argument was, lhat although
the rule of Court required a lawyer to
wear a gown, it had not prescribed the
color, and therefore his blanket was a
sufficient gown!
Carnes and Shaw were rival lawyers,
at the County Court Bar of Newberry.
Carnes was a very large man—Sbaw a
very small one. Carries was remarka
ble for his wit and good humor—Shaw
for his pride aud petulance. The latter,
when irritated, could-make no argu
ment. On one occasion, in a case of
some consequence, Carnes had made
the opening speech, and sal down.—
Sbaw arose and commenced his argu
ment alongside of Carnes. When
standing, the lappeis of lhe coal of the
former was just even with that of ihe
latter. Large buttons and straight-
breasted coals were then the rage.—
Carnes buttoned a button or two of
Shaw’s coat into his, snatched up bis
hat, jumped up in a great hurry, and
walked lo the door, dragging, appa
rently without noticing it, poor Shaw
after him. At the door he affected to
have discovered it for the first lime, and,
looking down al him with apparent sur
prise, he exclaimed, “ Brother popcorn,
what mischievous rascal hitched you
lo me V' The ruse had the effect in
tended'. Shaw, when released, was
so enraged, he could not make his
speech.
Carnes’ comment on Robert Stark’s
first speech in an assault and battery
case at Newberry, and Stark’s practical
reply, are too good to be lost. Neither
Stark’s exterior nor speech had im
pressed Carnes with any favorable no
tion of his learning or talent. He said
to. the Judges he did not believe the
young gentleman knew what an assault
and battery was. Stark was instantly
on bis feet, apd shaking bis fist in
Carnes* face, he iaid, - M That is an as
sault,” and drawing back, and striking
him a full blow in the face with his
fist, sufficient to have felled ail ox, he
said, " There 4s *battery." Carnes sat

wind, (peculiar to that dreary country,)
fiercely raged, bearing destruction and
desolation in its progress, and pro
ducing terror in tbe minds of the
unsheltered wanderers. Overcome by
the severity of the cold, and unable
longer to sustain his precious charge,
he carefully deposited it upon a bed of

The early dawn had discovered a frozen

falling upon his eager ear, during a tem

lis attention to the frozen embankment
upon which rested the deserted infant.
He hesitated not to reflect upon the

waste time in the fruitless endeavor of

Astonished at the sound of a human

stranger the sentinel who had impeded
her progress without the city walls.—
Refusing his generous offer she per
mitted him to aid in her errand of mer-

Long and tedious was the search, but
unavailing, and at early dawn they re

dressed the former in tones laudatory
of her courage and beauty, concluded
vyith the inquiry—
“ General; will you sell your prison-
erf” -
“ And what will you do with her?”
“Make her my wife—the wife of a
soldier,” replied the noble Cossack.
Whal say you, Katharine ?** add
ed he, turning to the blushing damsel.
Her hesitating response was, •* I
would rather be the wife of a soldier
than the servant of a great general.”
“ Bravely spoken!-—from this mo
ment you are mine,” he rejoined ; but
we must obtain the permission of the
Czar. I will go immediately to the
Emperor’s teut, and receive his sanc
tion to our union. Remain here while
I seek an audience of his majesty.”
In, a few. moments a young lieuten

said—^
“ Tlie Czar, Peier, commands tbe

With a quick, though trembling step,
she followed, and, on entering the mag

officers surrounding one who was seat

affianced husband.

The requisite sum is diminished to an
extent not commonly appreciated by tbe
use of substitutes for money—for ex
ample, those termed bills of exchange.
Only general principles can be laid
down as to the amount of money need
ed in any community.
What is denominated division of la
bor, is the ground of the convenience of
money. Hence, it is that in civilized
societies more money is needed than
where things are in a ruder slate; for
in civilized societies, lhe division of la
bor is carried to the greatest extent.—
Where every man produces for himself
all the articles which he wants, little or
no money is found. On the other hand,
where each man produces but one arti
cle, money becomes very convenient
for the purposes of sale ar.d purchase,
and the amount of value vested in it, or
its substitutes, will increase in propor-
sifity. . This, motive power winl minding—

had made it before him. When,
as is sometimes the case, this oil is not
properly distributed, there is a great
deal of creaking and disorder in the ma
chinery. Such is its usual operation,
however, that probably no sensible
man, now-a-days, would wish, with
Pliny the Elder, lo revert to the rude
practice of barter, instead of purchase
and sale. It ia a profound remnrk of
Montesquieu, respecting the usefulness
of money in national commerce, that by
its means “commerce is carried on in
proportion to the demands of the nation
which wants most, while in barter it is
carried on only to thc extent of the de
mands of the nation which wants least,
otherwise the latter could not liqui
date the account.” The same is true,
also, of individual trade.
