CHEAP CIGARS. Beb Touchstone Aesteta la SaWnc * Stock of ©Mare Below Coat. For some little time past Dr. An¬ thony has been missing cigars from bis store in this dty. On Toreday he missed a great many more, esti¬ mated to be about eleven hundred, and the matter was at once placed in the hands of Policeman Gossett; Dr. Anthony stating that a negro boy named Bob Touchstone who was working about the store, was suspected of getting the goods. Goe- sett at once began hi* investigation* whfch resulted in his searching U store on Broadway kept by Tom Bunt, and finding 4 boxes of cigars in the store, and in Tom’s room back of the store three more boxes were found, all being special brands sold by Hr. Anthony. The officer also found a lamp and two boxes o f toilet soap which were indent!fled os having been taken from the stock in the drag store. At a negro resturant next to Hunt’s run by Henry Alexandre more of the same cigars were bought. Tom claims that he bsuglit the cigars ex¬ cept one bsx, from Bob Touchstone at fifty cents a box and had been retai'ing them himself, also supply¬ ing Alexandre. Officer Gossett spent the entire night, assisted during the latter part by Chief Mann, in trying to find the negro but without success. Just about daylight he discovered a party near Springer’s store who was making tracks toward the Experi¬ mental Farm and after folio wing him for some time ord ered him to stop, which only quickened his speed and by turning in towards the old fair ground he escaped. Gossett felt sure that he was the right party though it was too dark to see plain¬ ly, so he came back to town an4»no- tifled the conductor of the accom¬ modation to be on the look out for the boy , who would probably board the train up the road, also asking that he be handed over to the au¬ thorities at some station on the road. At Sunny Side a boy answering to tbe description of Bob got on and proving to be the right one was banded off at Jonesboro and the police at this place were notified of tbe arrest. Dr. Anthony got a State warrant and officer Floyd was sent after him on the morning train re¬ turning at 4 p. m. with the prisoner who to now in jail awaiting commit¬ ment trial which will take place to¬ day before Justice Stflwell. The value of the goods fonnd were about fifty dollars, but it to supposed that he has been stealing for a long time. The cigars were being retailed at about three or four for five cents. “O.

In a county some distance from this, occurred a court scene not only amusing but which illustrates point well taken.” There to a cer¬ tain lawyer in this State noted for his oddity and originality, and who, when under the mellowing influence of the “rosy too freely passed” grows not only brilliant but eloquent. This lawyer on a certain occasion, being loaded with what to politely termed “boose,” had a case in a County Court. The attorney on the opposite side produced a decision of the Su¬ preme Court, tbe indirect tendency of which was to turn our “original” friend out of court. But ever full of resources and reedy with the keen blade of bis wit and originality, our bright lawyer addressed the Court about aa follows: “May it please your*Honor. I have heard that de¬ cision of the Supreme Court read be» fore. It ain’t the law. The Snprem - Court can not make law, The Legis¬ lature makes the law. Now sir, it to ray opinion, that the Supreme Court of this State basen’t had an original idea hi twenty-five years.

But I don’t see any reason, because the Supreme Court has made fools of themselves, why the Judge of the County Court of-county shoald make a fool of himself.” Here the court exhibited signs of nervous¬ ness. The lawyer continued, “I know a dozen Justices of the Peace in tbto county who have too much sense to follow any such a decision, but yonr Honor can taks a different line snd turn me out of court. This I grant to oneot the high prerogatives of this court.” At this the Judge grew very in¬ dignant and remarked to the law¬ yer. “Sir, you shall not Yufleefc up¬ on this court and the majesty of the law in this style. Hie dignity of this court shall be respected and maintained and the court will punish you severely if you continue ysur insulting remarks.” . Whereupon onr bright witted attorney, leaning upon a table to steady the already shaking pillars to his human anatomy. “I have been thinking for some time that if this court had less dignity and more ability she might get. along .a good deal better.” Of course at this point the Judge grew furious and but for the timely interference of earnest pleading friends the lawyer Would have landed in jail, but the triumph of his wit ameleorated the wrath erf the court’s insulted dignity and the lawyer free much to the delight of hto ad¬ miring hearers.
