A Texas Justice of the Peace. There is a Justice of the Peace oat j fl Crosby county who is certainly un fit for the office. He has no idea of the law, or bis powers nnder the law. jj e i g also disposed to be arbitrary yjd unreasonable in his decisions.— jf 0 t long since he tried a Mexican for furious riding, found him guilty, and, placing a black cap on his judicial bead, sentenced him to be hung by ( the neck until he was dead. The members of the Crosby county bar bad great difficulty in persuading the Justice that be did not have the ju risdiction enough to bang a man. Week before last he found a man guilty of shooting a bull that did not belong to him, and fined him seventy- five dollars. “Why, Jedge,” said the doomed man, “I haven’t got no seventy-five dollars; I can’t pay no suoh fine.” “The State of Texas puts mein this office to find out a way to make men pay their fines. Ton will cut ce dar poles until you have out enough to satisfy the majesty of the law,” re plied the justice. “Bnt, Jedge, what use has the State of Texas for cedar poles.” “It’s this court who needs them cedar poles to build a fence. I’ll take the poles and settle with the State of Texas for them." And the poor fellow is cntting ce dar poles for the State of Texas right now. The latest feat of the Crosby coun ty Justice was to hold an inquest on the body of a negro who bad been <bot. Instead of summoning six ju rymen, as the law directs, be empan eled twelve stating that they were his friends, and needed the jury fee to support t heir families. Tbeir verdict read as follows: “We, the jury, find the negro guilty of being dead, and as we do not know who his heirs, are, wo will divide his property among as jurors, with the understanding, however, that should the heirs turn up, we will, mutually, help each other in keeping them out of it.” (Ion it Pay> to Advertise.

Fremont St., Baltimore During the war I was in jured in the stomach by apiece of a shell, and have suffered fromiteversince. Aboutfour years ago it brought on paraly sis, which kept me in bed six months, and the best doctors in the city said T could not live. I suffered fearfully from indigestion, and felt aver two years could not eat solid food and for a large portion of the time was unable to retain even li.juiu nourishment. I tried brown’s Iron hitters and now after taking two bottles X am able to get up and go around and am rapidly improving. G. Di CKER.

A reporter dropped intfi one of onr retail etitablishmenls and held a con versation with the proprietor. “Yon have a great rush,” remarked the reporter. “Yes,” replied the proprietor, “a big rush—partly because of tho sea- sou, but mostly on account of adver tising.” “How can you tell whether adverti sing pays, and what papers are good mediums ? “I can tell that advertising pays by stopping my advertisements. Trade drops not at once, but the tide of pur chasers flows some other way. The cash receipts tell the story.” “Is there any difference in the sharpness of buyers—I mean, do they haggle much overprices?” “Ob, no; we sell at one price, and all the best stores in Boston do the same. They will sometimes say they cau buy such and snob an article choaper elsewhere. When they men tion the place we send and see if its true, and if so we mark onr stock down.” “Snppose you should give np ad vertising?” “Well, I should have a good pile of money the first year, bnt I should loso a bigger pile the next two years. Yon must keep the boiler heated if you want steam. If yon bank yonr fires too long it takes time to start up. Advertising is the steam which keeps business moving. I’ve studied tbe matter.” An Englisman has invented a way of sawing a murderer’s head off with a hot wire, electrically heated. It is not an entirely new invention, howev er. In this country a little wire pall ing has often caused an office-holder’s head to fall into the basaet.—Norris- town Herald.
