nnd shoddy goods of oil sorts, for his customers
wont everything at the lowest nrieo whether it
is good or bod, and it is bucklo and tongue
whether tbc merchant can got abend of his
rustctr.rrs or they get ahead of him. One
tiling is certain, when tho merchant forgots to

in going homo and showing up your bargains.
It proves that you nro smart in a trade, or

bow smart a good merchant is for he can mako

he likes them better tbsn anybody. Civility

Cop) right, 1K*<3. ,
Was it Suggested?
Jean Lou par d waa unquestionably the most
villainous rascal the Haut-Selne court of assi-
xet ever bad a chance of branding with infamy.
The wretch had actually had the bad taste to
chopgan unfortunate old man upintothlrty-slx
pieces merely for the sake of getting thirty-six
francs out of bis pockets. So, at all events,
thought M. de* Bcdlettes, the judge d???instruc-
tion, who for the lost ten years had been curs
ing fate for compelling him to vegetate in a
little provincial town. He had long been lying
in wait for some great murder case or other,
which should help him to notoriety and a
place in Paris. In the vicious lace and shock
haired head of Jean Louperd, M. des Belettes
saw bis opportunity. It was, therefore, with
much secret delight that he noticod the Phare
de l???Avenir unconsciously helping him by pub
lisbmgone sensational article alter another
about ???The Billoir ol the ilaut-Seme/' as it
dubbed the murderer.
It wss not an easy matter to wring a confes
sion from Jean Loupard. The evidence against
him was all circumstantial, and the prisoner's
rough skin covered a wonderful amount of
smartness. For * good month M. des Belettes
has wasted all his eloquence. Every afternoon,
though it was in the middle of the dog days,
he had hod the prisoner brought into his aus
tere-looking office to be examined. One day
Loupard greeted him by saying: "Excuse mo,
iudge, but would you have the kind*
ness to choose another time of* the
day for our confabs? I generally
indulge in a snooze in the afternoon, and when
I???m sleepy I can't appreciate all the charm of
your conversation.??? TheJudgo only frown
ed and went on with his examination as if he
had not beard the remark. His devotion to
duty was the more praisworthy from the fact
ly from the heat. M. des Belettes was
beginning to wonder whether, after all, it
might not be aa well to accede to the ruffian???s
and change the hour of
the doily interview when well nigh
irresistible drousincss came over him. Noth
ing but a stern senso of duty prevented him
from flopping on to tho taole and going to
sleep. He struggled bravely against tho im
pulse, especially as ho fancied that he saw a
mocking twinkle in tho eyes of the prisoner.
But tho more he struggled tho less _
himself able to overcome slumber, and do
vhot be would, ho could not resist the influ
ence of those eyi
???Nonsense,??? he muttured. "This will novor
do. A judge dMustruetion must not give way
like this. It would never do in my position.
It would??????
Would never do,??? onco more muttered M.
des Bellcttes, rubbing his eyes, end finishing
n thought which he had apparently been
silently meditating.
???Are you bettor now???? oxclaiincd Lou

???Better? What do you mean????
???Well; you fell asleep just now, you
know.???
???I???asleep? Impossible!???
???Horry to contradict you, judge, but it's

Monishing his hearers, but it wss another
thing to convince them. The jury was rising
to leave to consider its verdict and profound
silence reigned in the court, when a voice ex
claimed: ???I ask permission to make a state
ment.???
The voice wss that of M. des Belettes, the
judge d???instructiou. Having had pormis.tion
to snetk, ho proceeded to mako oue of tho
most bewildering .and monstrous statements
ever listened to in a court of justice, lie ssid:
???Jean Lotipard is innocent, i have had proofis,
lenitive proofs of it, aud it was only after per
secuting the prisouer for a whole mouth lu the
coolDt manner that I, M. des Bolcttcs, wruug
from bis lips the confession of an imaginary
crime.??? ???Why did I do this,??? ho continued.
???For the basest, tho most iufamous ot reasons.
For tht sake of getting promotion. ??? ??? ???
Yes, gentlemen, it was I, a representative of
social justice, who conceived this horrible
thing. 1, a magistrate, did not scruple with
the head of this truly unfortunato man. Luck
ily for him remorse has como ere it is too late.
I Implore you, gentlemen, to spare yourselves
life anguish you will feci some day if you do the
prisoner the irreparable wrong of not acquit
ting him.??? M. des Belettes quietly sat down,
and turning to his neighbor said, iu the most
natural way in tho worldt ???What on earth
are the jurymen waiting for? Its quite ten
ininuDs since the nrcsidout summed up, and
they haven???t left the court yet.???
MMie amazement of tho court grew more in
tense than ever when the prisoner rose,and, in
a ch ar voice, said: ???Gentlemen of tne jury,
you hove now had a proof of what my houor-
the remarkable speech you have iust hoard,
suggested it to him six weeks ago in the middle
of an examination 1 was undergoing. When I
was a free man like the rest of you I was in tha
habit of reading the |iapera. One
day my eye lighted on the
account of au experiment made in a
Far is liocnital Ly one of the princes of science.
1 resolved to rej'Cat the experiment. I tried
to throw this worthy magistrate into a mag-
n?? tic sleep, and succeeded without an effort.
When 1 saw him drop off, by sheer force of
will, 1 suggested to him that on the day my
case wss tried be should get up, ask to be
heard, and proclaim mo innocent, explain
ing that he hsd extorted a false confession
from me in the hope of being rewarded for his
seal by promotion. Yon remember taking that
nap, don???t you, M. des Belettes, oue afternoon?
Well, dd man, 1 did the trick while you were
flopping over the table instead of questioning
me. And now, gentlemen of tha jury, deny
tbc suggestion theory if you dare.???
Tha jury cast an axious look at tha presi
dent, who at last stammered out a faw words
apparently ordering them to withdraw. A
buz* and a roar of excitement filled tha court
as they left to consider their verdict. An hoar
passed. Two hours. Three. Five I And still
the jury did not return. When six hours had
passed the president ordered the door of the
council chamber to be broken open. A won
derful sight awaited him when he entered.
Tho twelve gentlemen of the jury lay under
the table exhausted and prostrate. On the
president telling tbe ushers to snake them,
they rose, shouting, gesticulating and cutting
sucli startling capers that it was too evident
they were all mad, all mad I
THE RACE COURSE.
A Southern Circuit Proposed???Races for the
Macon Fair,
At the coming stato fair in Macon a fine
aeries of running and trotting races will be
had. About $7,000 in purses have been offer
ed, and the entries show that every one of the
events will be well contested. Some ??f the
famous stables of the country will be
represented. If tho races at Macon
are a success it is thought that a project talked
of lor some time past will take definite shat
nnd be carried out. The racing season in tl
north and west closes about the time the
southern races and.tbe big agricultural fairs
are coming on. Tho formation of a circuit of
eight or ten southern cities would bring some
of tbe best stables to the south overy
winter ond give a lively race week to each of
the cities in the enterprise. Savanna^
Charleston, New Orleans, and Mobile havo
races every winter and Augusta has them
often hut the formation of a regular circuit
which would interest such cities as
Wilmington, Charlotte, Columbia, At
lanta, Macon, Columbus, Montgomery
ond Helma and fo? which
a regular programme could bo arranged would
bring better horses nnd many more of them
than now come south. The project is very
favorably considered by the
XORTHEB* HORSE HEX.
They nro not only anxious for the bonefits
of the raees themselves, but many of them are
anxious to winter their horses in the milder
climate of the south, and will do so if they
a chance to mako expenses. Letters from
several nromincnt turfmen have been receivec
by gentlemen in this city, setting forth tho ad
vantages of a large nnd well regulated southern
racing circuit. There has also been some cor-
t the subiect between are:
> taking
and the races for the coming fall and winter
be expected only in tne southern cities
established jockey clubs, ond the few
others which, like Macon, ore to havo great
agricultural fairs. If at these places tho
meetings arc interesting and successful,
