Ancrstwri- l New VoiU
Judge.
Of the Into ex-Judge
George (}. Harnard
from his seat as Judge of t In-
New York Supreme Court in
thin anecdote in told :
At times lie was jocose on
the bench and lyion Ihcntri
cal. To young lawyers lie
was especially kind. Many a
time fie corrected their papers
with his own hand, lie never
failed to go to their rescue
when they wore badgered by
old and experienced attorneys.
He was fond of diamonds, dogs
guns, and cards,
his face was seen in well
known club houses, and his
profanity was proverbial. At
times his excess made him ir
ritable on the bench ; but no
cno regretted such actions
moro than himself. Once in
his chambers, a young lawyer
since then elected to congress
from that city, then a young
man, just arrived m the city,
laid some papers before him.
Ho glanced at them and toss
ed them back to the young
lawyer.
Your honor, what is the
matter with those papers 0
asked the young lawyer.
They are not properly drawn
up, said the judge.
What is wrong with them ?
the young lawyer inquired.
If you don’t know ; I can’t
tell, the judge responded. If
I had ♦ tyro in my office who
Could ’t draw up better papers
than those, I’d kick him out
to the sidewalk. The words
were heard by a crowded
courtroom. Much mortified,
the lawyer took his leave.
A week afterward he was
sitting in the same courtroom,
and the judge said : Mr. ,
will you step to the bench for
a moment if you please ? The
lawyer did so and the specta
tors wondered what was com
ing. Last Monday, began the
judge, you laid some papers
before me which I erroneously
pronounced incorrect. I am
ashamed of it, and as I gross
ly insulted you in open court:
I want to tender you an apol
ogy in open court. I beg your
pardon^
'faking a heuau*.
Never gave you a history of
my ceiiHUs taking J believe:
Well, 1 took .Jim Walker’s
place while he was at Chicago
and 1 had some tough eusto

How d’ye do? W alk iu„;,
folks all gone ; take a cheer ;
were you waulin' to see my
old man ?
No, madam, said I, after ac
cepting her invitation,* 1 arn
laking the census.
The who ? said she.
The census of the people,
O. i-ot ; well, you won't
find much iii (he people about
here, the feyei n ager's. shook
it all out on ’em.
1 proeeCfbel to explain.
Dear mu/., I thought you

a frenologer,

There's aunt cally, hut you
don’t want her name, do ymi?
(fert,ailily, ma'am, I replied,
and hroeeeded to lake it itl

Then there’s old .1 err.v, but
he’s eenamost gin out tbit fall.
I don’t tliink tbe poor fellei II

Dog* !inl A lie* p.
Tltr qtiesiion ol a "dog law” lor the pro.
teclkiD o,' alieep ia Ih-loic the L'i>ilnturt‘
oi OeorgU, anil the result ill doubtlea*
tie some legislation on tbe subject. No
one will dispute the general proposition
that the sheep raising industry in Geor
gia is nti important aud growing one, nod
that it ought to be protected, as lar as Just
laws tan piotect it, against binjiance or
drpredatb n by dogs or nugressive
auitnuls. Hot we uiut view tins subject
in tbe light ol common stnsc, not through
the delusive glvsei sol sentiment merely.
We state these propositions with couth
deuce that they will be found to be cor
rect :
1. That the people ol UtorgU w ill not
consent to be deprived by law of too right
to keep dogs, or, wUst is (no same thing,
he prevented ironi doing so by exorbiUut
taxation.
2. That they will not consent that one
mail's harmless dogs shall be destroyed, or
bis right to tcep such dogs denied him,be
cause another man’s dogs kill sheep.
The amendment to the bill exempting
one dog ior each family from taxation waa
aa eminently proper one. W e are only
sorpiiscd that it did not receive a unani
mous vote. There is scarcely s family, in
the cocmtry at least, that does not tecl the
want of a dog as a watch at night. This {
relation between man and dog has subsist
ed too long to be abruptly terminated by
a legislative act. Legislators might ks
well say that the women shall net keep
cals as a protection to their pantries and
smokehouses, because cats occasionally
kill poultry. Probably not one cat
In a hundred kit la poultry, and certainly
not one dog in a hundred kills sheep. But
there ere a tew exceptions to this rule, and
common justice dictates that the true aim
of legislation should be at the exceptions.
People who can afiord the extravagance
of keeping more than one dog can also pay
a (mall tax lor the privilege, and it would
secu to be nothing more tbau just that
tfaey -uld pay such a tax— not sib op
ptesalve or prohibitory one, but cae only
large enough to make ibein more caret:!
