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 I bad a pet case—it was a suit for slandei—and Pone Fallowbrain, not a legal giant, but tho youthful author of much unpublished poetry, was em ployed to conduct the defence.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 to# too much afraid of Ola Gin to say THOMASVILLE GA. the caso was forced on in his absence. The trial, accordingly, was set down for the following day, thou to go on peremptorily. • . - - - rrl left the court-room- much cha grined J- tJiiplcI eonld have heard with eoinposure J Of'ith arcWfcntifr' tfje tiain Ord Gin was coming on, If noth ing worse luid bapjtcncd than break- BR..B.

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 quired after bis associate. He was met & Old Gin’s door hy.ihc doctor, whp refused him admittance, as well as any infbrniatiori 0uclptJS- thoepn*. 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 the ease camc on the next time, didn’t I catch it?, .. , c r , „ BRAVO. An exchange has the following inci dent of the war; . A single shot, followed bv a loud shriek, told us that one of my host men whose name was Bradley, was wound ed. He proclaimed his agony with a loud voice, turned over on bis back, aud commenced kicking ^vigorously that the surgeon had great difficulty iu getting ih roach of him. ' “Poor fel low,” said the doctor, os he saw a thin whitish liquid ooziug out, “shot iu the bladdtt-rt ran-alfaid it^aufl/kapd ho commenced * opening hfe cdaT: ‘“Oh,* my God!” said Bradley, “Pro a dead tqaii; l'li never get over, it’.’ , “4icep up ypur irit?,-r.iy boy; nev* cr say die,” said CapK Jolmsoif^beml- overjiim. “Doctor,’ 1 said The wounded soldier freely, “will you write to ffiy mother and tell her that I died bravely doing my duty,-with my face .to the foe, and that > 'thought of her when 1 wp§'dy : Homlcldr In AINRBOEO, QA.,Aug^ 2C. 1873.

McLeod approached King first, on account of *oa»e reports which King’s wife had put iu circulation, re flecting on McLeod’s character, when Kifig told McLeod, that he was rc- tisible for what h»i I ho would stop it.

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.

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.

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.

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.
