A New Trial Granted.
BY JUDGE CLABK.
Old Gin guzzle was the terror of tho
junior bar. Any of us would as lief
faced the master wc belived him to
servj, as encounter “Old Gin,” as we
called him, in the trial of a case. ~
There wasn't a quibble he wasn’t up
to, uor a trick he wouldn’t qtoop to.—
Theu his manner of treating a youth
ful opponent—supercilous is n6 name
for it—it 'was like administering a
spanking in opcu court It was no
use appealing to the judge. Old Gin
bullied him as much as he did the rest
amboozlo them!
Old Gin rode the circuit; and the
dcaucc of it was, you could never tell
when he would be wrung in on you.—
Your case might be called for trial; you
might rise to open, counting on a
fight with one for whom you
as
the last moment, Old Gin,just retained
on the other side, would haul up his
*4iair, and begin to stnre you out of
countenance.
I bad a pet case—it was a suit for
slandei—and Pone Fallowbrain, not a
legal giant, but tho youthful author of
much unpublished poetry, was em
ployed to conduct the defence. I was
confident of a briiliaut victory—if only
Old Gin kept his finger out of the pie.
I thought once of securing him on my
side; but I knew )io vould take all the
credit to himself, and I had no wish to
be shorn of my laurels.
When my case was reached, much
to my relief, Old Gin was not on hand.
It was early in the term, and residing
in another county, lie had not made
his appcaraucc yet.
to my disgust, Mr.
for a day’s postponement. His client,
lie said, had lately employed Mr. Gin :
guzzle, who was expected that even
ing, and the defence would be ready to
go on to-lnorrow.
I protested against the delay, and
insisted that the iiucjplainpd gbsencc
of one counsel, when another was
present—especially one as competent
as my learned friend— was no ground
for adjourning a trial.
The judge knew I was right, but he

“Genuine jimjamsl” gasped Old Giu
—“for heaven’s sake run for a doctor!”
^feantime the snake bad disappear
ed .under the bed, a circumstance
which only served to heighten Old
Gin’s alarm, as it convinced him that
hisjformerimpression^ J?*d all been
delpsive.
Leaving Sam to take care of the pa
tient, Upt^nedXou^lLJn Dr. Pro-
’ iDgJfrjrhcmlha.casejms stated.
The doctor was a devout believer in
active remedies and plenty of them.
His first step was to throw Old Gin
into as deep a sleep as opium could
put him in; the next step was to shave
his head and blister it. This last wc
would hafc'jthfem«!’».%KWjjktfi>r
wc had no wish ‘to injure the* old
wretch; but the doctor pooh-phooed
our remonstrances, adding that he
"knew his own business.”
When court opened, Old Gin wasn't
there. Fallowbrain wa# nervous. He
asked a moment’s indulgcncc wbilc he
crossed the street to the hotel aud in

dition or hi# patient. ' 1
Poor Fallowbraiu was mystified.—
He kuiricd back to the court-house,
and begged another day’s delay. I
insinuated that if suitors tcould persist
in employing counsel of too convivial
habits, it was luit fsir ilicy fthould take
the consequences, concluding by re
minding the Court that the case had
been set ,4wa Pf. ll Sfi
The 'Judge said it must'^o on; and
the result was a victory quite as bril
liant as I had anticipated.
My triumph was short-lived, though.
For two days Old Gin didn’t show
himself. On the third he came
into court with his head swathed,
The snake, it appears, after some
hours, grew tired of his hidiug-plucc,
and crawling forth, was discovered and
killed by the doctor.
Of course, the cat was but of the bag.
Old tim had a good head foj circum
stantial evidence, and was not'sfbw to
work up the case.
He moved for a new trial on a long
affidavit, minutely setting forth tlio
circumstances of the conspiracy of
which he had been the victim—the
body of the snake, in a bottle of spirits,
being attached as au exhibit.
The motion was granted; and when

tin the report says, “That McLeod

everybody living in Swainsboro well

ing the old sinner's neck.
It was in this frame of mind that I
met n»y friend, Sam J’okcfuu, the best
fellow at the bar, QAl/ i little too
much inclined to practically joke.
I explained the wltualinfi fq Sam.
“If Old Gin could be put but of tbc
way for a day, it would bo all right,
would it?” he askctl.
“Of course it would,” I answered.
“The judge-VnowH the emo cfioultl
have gone on to-day, aud has onlered
it toprucccd to-morrow peremptorily.”.
“I have an idea," said Satu; and he
proceeded to uufoUl it. What it was,
the reader wj»l see in the sequeb
Old Gin had a laiun^—ppt an only
one—he drank liko a fish, only liU bev
erage was different. His nalnral in
clination was for Bourbon whiskey,
and for moistening purposes, he sel
dom used anything else. For how
much oi it he could furnish inward
storage was a disputed point which
uobody cared fo go to Uie expense of
settling by actual experimenu
On Old Gin’s arrival on that even
ing. Sam and I invited him to a little
ntertainment to be given at Sam’s
r.ioiu after supper. It was to be a
«lt icily private affair—none but the
three of us to be present, aud the sup
ply of Bourbon to be unlimited.
Old Gin highly appreciated such at
tentions from hi* juniors, aud it was
wonderful how agreeably convivial bo
could make himself at their expense.
On this occasion he outshone him-
sell.
“He holds as much as a bonded
warehouse,*.’ said Sam aside the fourth
time the demijohn "was sent out to be
filled.
By drinking sparingly ourselves, aud
keeping Old Giu’* glass constantly re
plenished, we managed to put him to
bed boozier than he hud ever been
known to bg before. It was. well we
all stopped at the saute house, or the
question of traiu*j>ortation might have
prescuted difficulties.
Next morning Sam and 1 were up
be limes; and taking a live watcr-
ake,'Which 4 bo^-jfcad eaught for Us.
c evening before/ and wfiich had
•on kept over
ped it iuto one of Old Giu’s boots left
before fils door, beetling down the le;,
so as to prevent the escape, of the rap
tile, which it is needless to add, was
quite harmless. Wp then entered
ini'
At length we
open, and a moment after there came
an uproar that adbrded ample exease
for our rushing iuto his room, and,- in
affected terror, demanding what was
the matter. . * • . Vl
“Matter!” roared OW Gfo, rushinr
after the snake with ihe poker, so
knocking wrer everything in his way/
•‘Just see what I found in my bsotP^t-

position, amiutfie unrpriops lap^bte;* of

For montlts after that, on the march
or in cara^ ^o<T|0*ihct|mcs pt J^still-
when asked why he carried it, said
that he had lived wo-fot^tn* Swains
boro as ho corfld without having a
difficulty.” The young tnsu with
whom McLeod was wrestling, says
that this is also false, (hat no such con
versation occurred between them.
4* to what words passed between
King and McLeod, nt.tl c time ol tho
difficulty, no one was near enough to
them to have heard the conversation,
and as both pat lies are dead, no one
will ever know what words did pass,
between them,
. The report further says, ‘’that Mc
Leod followed King up, Ac. This is
alto untrue -King was silting on the
steps of Ovcrstreofs store, when Mc
Leod carac up and asked him to walk
with.him, aa he wanted to sec him,
when both parties walked round {o the
Q«1CJ.
Again the report says, “McLeod
id before he died, tlmt he had killed
King wrongfully, rmd hb- wav sorry for
it.” This statement is another un
mitigated falsehood. 1, and other
frienus, were with him till his death,
and Jic tuade no such statement, but
lie di<l say that he was not sorry for
it, because King shot him first.
A"ain the report says, “that Mc
Leod some time ago, killed a man in
otic of the upper counties of the State,
Ac.”. This is another falsehood. If
the party, or parlies,, who gave Mr.
Oliphant this information, had intend
ed to tell the greatest number ot false
hoods in tt»e spmHest Apace, possible,
their success could uot have been
greater.
‘Tim foregoing statements of mine

How a Woman Throws a |
Stone.
Did you ever see a woptan throw a
•tone at a hen?. . It la poe of the most
ludicrous sconeo in every day life. We
recently observed the process—indeed,
wo paid more attention than the hen
did. for she did not mind it at all, and
laid an egg the next day as if nothing
hadhappeued. In fact that heu will
snow tor the first time that she served
,n the capacity of a target. The pre
datory fowl had invaded the precincts
of the flower-bed, and was industri
ously neckin" ana scratching for the
early worm, Lustfully unconscious of
ipipcndifig danger. The ladt now’ap
pears upon the scene with a 'broom.—
This she drops, apd nipks up a rppkj
fragment of the Silurian ‘age, and
then oqtkes. her first mistake—they
all do it—by seizing the projectile with
the wrong hand. Then with malice
afore.fhQujht. she makes the further
blunder ot swinging her arms perpen
dicularly instead of horizontally—
thereupon the stone flies Into tho air,
describing an irregular eliptical curve,
and strikes the surface of the earth as
far from the hen as the thrower stood
at the time fn a course due west from
tlfe tame, the. hen thoq bearing by
compass X. X: £1 hy E. half Ea.iL—
At the second attempt the stoue nar
rowly mused the head of the thrower
fierself, who, seeing that any farther

“Don’t, Tommy—^JonT do that Yod
know that it makes my bead ache.”
. “Does it make ybtfr head ache,
mother?” asked the child, curiously,
and with a pitying tone in hia voice,
and he came creeping up to h|s moth
er's side, and looking at her as if in
doubt wliether he would be repulsed

Airs. Lyon, kindly; “and it is'always
unpleasant Won’t you try to play
without making so much noise?”
...“Yes, mother. I’ll try,” answered
tho little fellow cheerfully. “But I for
get sometimes.”
He lbOkcd earnestly at his mother
as if something more was in his
thoughts. n
“Well, dear, what else?” said she
encouragingly,
i,; “When I forget, youH tell me, won't
you?”
Yes, love.”
Aud .then 111 stop. But don’t
s^old me, mother/for theu I can’t
stop.”
rs. Lyon's heart was touched. She
caught her breath, and bent hen head
down to conceal its impressions, until
it rested on the silken hair of the
child.
“Be a good boy, Tommy, aud moth
er will never scold you auy more,” sho
murmured in his ears.
His arms stole upward, and as they
were twined Closely about her ucck,
he pressed his lips tightly against her
cheek—thus sealing his part of the
contract with a kiss.
How 6wcet to a mother's taste were
these fruits of self-control! In thoef
fort to govern herself what a power
she had acquired.
Only first fruits were these. In all
her after days did that mother strive
with herselt, ere she entered into a
contest with the inherited evils of her
children; and just so far ns she was
able to overcome evil in hcrselC was
sho able to overcome evil iu them.
Often, very often, did she fall back
into the old states; aud often, very of
ten was self-resistance ouly a slight ef
fort; but tho influence for good that
flowed from her words or actions
whenever this was so, warned her of
error, and prompted a more vigorous
self-control. Need it he said that she
had an abundaot reward?
Cteii. Breckinridge Calls on
Grant.
The Long Branch tor respondent of
the New x or j. Tribune of Mouday,
writes as follows:
Gen. John C. Breckinridge spe-ut a
few days here during the past week,
and attended the races. He called, as
a matter of courtesy ou President
Grant, whom ho had not seen siucc
the Mexican war, where they were
fellow officers and very intimate. Al
though Gen. Breckinridge has been
frequently iu Washington since the
close of the war. he did uot think it
would be delicate for him to visit tho

lie was accompanied to the Presi
dent's cottage by Mr. John Ilocy, and
spent a portion of the evening to pay
tneir respects. No allusion, whatever,
was made to the late wnr, and the part
taken by either of the two gentlemen.
The President greeted Mr. Breckin
ridge very kiudly, and referred to the
last time they met, which was, I be
lieve,' when Grant was slightly wound
ed in one of the Mexican engagements.
They called up old memories and old
friends, and tra -cd tho latter Into af
ter life. There is but a year’s differ
ence in the ages of the two gentlemen.
Gen. Grant being ‘.J aud Geu. Breck

in about an hour, receiving an invita
tion to call again.
Danger to nrr *Rtgtttilic.—In
.the debate on the adoption of tho Fed
eral Constitution, Mr- Madison warn
ed us of tho d ingers, which, at this
time, are fearfully uregnaut. .Siuce
the general civilization of ‘mankind,”
says Mr. Madt«or» “I bciicvc there are
more instances of tlie abridgment of
tile freedom of the people, by gradual
afid silent encroachments of those in
' : jtidc’i
usurpations. On a candid examina
tion of history, wo shall find that tur
bulence, violence and abuse of power,
by the majority tramping ou the '
of the minority, have produced Tac
tions and commotions, mdcli in repub
lics, hare more frequently than any
other cause produced despotism. It wc
go over Uie whole history of ancient

their destruction to have generally

great danger to fear, that the same

those republics. Tins danger ought to
be wisely guarded agaiusL”

Speed of Awebicax -Railways.
—The Hartford Courant has publish
ed .some estimates of the speed of
American railways, derived from the
statements of various engineers. The
conclusion-is that no engine can run
pver. sixty miles on hoar.. Toe stories
about ergioes making eighty ami nine
ty miles an^om; are aboard .Some
toe fastest runs have been twgnty-gix
niifes m fhrrtv mteute*. from ^r/ring-
“ieldto Hartford;* eighteen mile* in
wenfy - minote*. from Meridian
Sew Htteo; fhiy-four miles in fifty-
eight minutes, on the Boston’and Al
bany road. One, at least! x»f Uiese
trips was matlFWbMjTWgafost time.
This, then, may be token nan fair teas
of American railway speed ** ito best,
