I A Gentle Hint.—In our style of
climate, with its sudden changes of
temperature—rain, wind and sunshine
often intermingled in a single day—it
is no wonder that our children,
friends and relatives are so frequently
taken from us by neglected colds,
half the deaths resulting directly
from this cause. A bottle of Bos-
chco’s German Syrup kept about
your home for immediate use will
prevent serious sickness, a large
doctor’s bill, and perhaps death, by
the use of three or four doses. For
curing Consumption, Hemorrhages,
Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Croup
or any disease of the Tiiroat or
Luugs, its success is simply wonder
ful, as your druggist will tell you.
German Syrup is uow sold in every
town and village on this continent.

“ And then in comes the preacher
and says, kind of solemn-like, ‘call
him Obcdiali Ezekiel Grant,’ and
then the Ohl Man says, ‘ O, gosh!’
and then the preacher says, ‘Mr.
Grant, I am ccme over at such lan
guage,’ and then old Grant put on
his hat and went down to the tannery
awful mad.
“Then the baby’s aunt Vcmes
says, • look at the old fool; lie’s indi
gent because we don’t call the dear
cherub Jesse, as if we would call him
that outlandish name. I want to
know if we haven’t got something to
say about that child, when it’s my
sister’s own. As for me, I propose
Sylvanus Cobb, Jr., Grant, 3»d that’s
what the child’s going to he called,
you bet.’
“After a bit, old Grant comes
vusliin’ back, brings an awful lot of
people with him, ami after a good bit
ot talking, they got a hat and every
body wrote a name on a piece of
paper, aud Squire Qiiackcnbosli says:
‘Now yon all understand, the fifth
one draws the prizeand then lie
says to me, ‘ Sonny, come up and
pick out five slips of paper, one at a
time.’ Of course, I did as I was told.
‘‘The first one I handed to the
preacher, and he read out loud
* Claude Melnotte Grant,’ the second
one ‘Richard Plantagenety Grant,’
and the third oue ‘ Charles Spurgeon
Grant,’ and the fourth one was * J.
Butler. An examination of the rc
cord showed that the appeal had not
been docketed in the Supreme Court,
and General Butler, on hearing this,
said that Under Rule 9 of the Su
preme Court the case could be dock
eted and dismissed. Butler n-ked,
“What about fees?’’and Mr. Her
bert says lie agreed to divide bis fees
of 8200,000 with him.
Whet, the time came to docket and
dismiss the motion under the rule,
r. Herbert said that lie was a mem
ber of the bar of tlie Supreme Court,
but that he had i ever had occasion to
appear there, and lje desired to ap
pear and argue the motion. Butler
told him to keep his hands oft", and
had the case dismissed himself. Tlie
cause was subsequently restored to
the calendar, but tlie consent of the
Attorney General was afterward ob
tained to have the appeal dismissed
Mr. Lamar paid Butler 820,000, and
Mr. Herbert did not get bis fee.
When he applied to him for it Mr
Lamar said that he had given Butler
832,000. When he applied to Gen
eral Butler he said that he didn’t
have one cent for Herbert, that the
820,000 was all his own.
On the trial of the case, Gen. But
ler testified that about the 1st of No
vember, 1873, lie was asked by Mr
Lamar to meet the Attorney General’s
motion for a new trial ;’ this was
after his interviews with Herbert.
Attorney General Williams bail
served a notice on him stating that
the ground of the motion was newly
discovered evidence. Just at that
time Liimai gave General Butler
notice that a proposition had been
made to him that, by the paymeut
of 25,000 to soino party or an other,
the njipcal would be dismissed. Gen
eral Butler testified: “ I informed
the Attorney General of this offer,
and showed him how the dates co.-
responded with the offers of new.y
discovered testimony, and asked It.in
to wait teu days. He did wait ten
days, but uo new testimony came.
