Anecdote of n Louisiana Judge.
0!d Judge L s, who was so
years tiie Circuit Judge in that portioi
of Louisiana known as Attakapa
county, was celebrated for his legs
learning, and was greatly beloved Irt
his neighbors and friends. He was
stern, Upright, and honest—and the
death of the good old man, which oc
curred some years ago, was universal
ly regretted throughout the Ntnte.
But with all his book lore and legal
attainments, lie was perhaps the
greenest man at cards in his entire
Circuit, it has been said that he did j
not know the “Jack of Trumps” from
a diamond. In the village of Opelou- j
sns. three individuals were silting

: ies. “ with a billiard table attached.”
which are so common in the Creole
parishes, playing :i small game of three
handed poker, when a quarrel ensued,
which resulted in an aggravated case
of assault and battery This did not
end the affair, for at the next term of
the court, at the head of the docket,
stood. ‘'The State of Louisiana vs.
John Allen, for an assault and battery j
with intent to kill on the bod}’ of Enos
Griggs.”
I'be trial came on, ami the otfly
witness to the aliray was a Captain
Johnson, who was the third hand in i
the game. Johnson was the skipper
of one of those crafts which transport
sugar from that section of the country
to New Orleans, and was a self-confi
dent. goa-head lellow, and was un
daunted before the Judge and Jury, as
he would have been before the Crew
ol his own little craft. After being
sworn, he was directed to toll the
Court and Jury everything he knew
about ihe affair. After clearing his
throat, lie commenced by stating,
‘•that him and Griggs and Joint Allen
were, ever at Bomleti’s grocery, the
[ second day of the election, when Alien
I proposed that they should have a sri&rJMj
| game of poker, and all agreed to it,)
1 and we went up stairs and sat down

The Judge, who was a little deal, ;
was in the iiabii ol making at ear-J

sharpening his hearing—and tlmi'ving
his head a little forward and sidexays,
interrupted the witness, by askingiiin,

you say that, you went blind, and thei

“Yes, sir,” replied the witness, “I

“Stop, sir,” said the Judge. “Mr.

Capt. Johnson was dnmfotinded, J
and did not awake to the reality of his ;
condition, until the Sheriff laid his,
hands on him—when he exclaimed ;
‘•God a mighty Mr Judge, what have
