Picking himself up he started down the track muttering vengeance on those who had twice saved his life. His name was afterwards ascertained to be Hanna, a resident. of Rochester, but whether in- taue or intoxicated is s*ill a question. °" Doesthis razor go easy ?" asked the barber of a victim who was writh- h e ander a clumsy instrument, whose chief recommendation was a strong' ]nindle. Well," replied the poor fel- lam, that depends upon what you call this operation. If you are skinning. me, it goes tolerably easy ; but if you are shaving me, it'goes rather hard." A good mother was trying to explain to a voting hopeful, the other day, about 'fighting arsainet the devil. After telling the little fellow who the devil wee, end how hard he was to success - fulls, resist, he turned around and said: " Mamma. I'd be scared of the old de- vil; hut if I was to come across one of the little devils, I'd knock the stuffing out of him." A toper got se much on his stomach the other day that said organ repelled the kale As he Ieaned against a lamp- seet vomiting, a little dog happened to step by him, whereupon he indulged in this soliliquy : " Well, now, here's a .co lun'rum. I know where I ate the aked beans, I remember where I ate that lobster, I remember where I got that rum, but I'm banged if I can re- call where I ate that little yeller dog." Says a Detroit paper : " In the Police Court the other day, when a man was about to be tried for assault and bat- tery, he brought forward his boy, ten years old, as a witness. The Justice asked the lad if he knew the nature of an oath, and the boy said his father ,had explained it. "He said," replied the boy, "that if I didn't swear that. the other fellow struck first", he'd tan the whole hide off my back. He wasn't used on the stand." A. minister walked six miles to marry couple lately. He said he felt sort of fee -bill like. The groom saw it. A colored man applied to a Boston savings -bank, wishing to draw one dol - ler. The clerk informed him that the iron rule of the institution forbade the withdrawal of less than three dollars. Dur colored' brotherwas in deep study for a few moments, and the said : " Sar, I'll take de free dollars." The three dollars were paid to him, when he at once added : " Now, sar, if you please, sar, I'll 'poset two dollars in de institution." The amount was duly re- ceised and credited, when, with his loose dollar in his pocket, he gave the clerk a sly wink, and walked away, whistlirg, "Catch a Weasel Asleep." A LARGE HEARTED JUDGE. ---A jnstice of the peace out in Iowa has a pretty ,good sized heart, judging from a recent decision promulgated iu his court. It appears that a stern parent attempted to invade the sacred precincts of his parlor at a time when his presence could be dis- pensed with. An assault and battery snit grew out of the affair, and the fol- lowing is the decision of the Justice: "It 'pears that this young fellow was courtiB the plaintiff's parlor, and that plantiff intruded and was put out by de- fendant. Courtin' is a necessity, and wrist not be interfered with. There- fore, .the laws of Iowa will hold that a ear int has no legal right in a room wriere courtin' is afoot. So the defend- ant is discharged, and the plailltiffmust pay the cost." It will encourage many cf the young men of the land to know that the law is all on their side in cases of this sort. .A. Paris journal.. tells the story of a beggar who presented himself regularly at it certain coffee house with a clario- net under his arta. " Will you allow me, gentlemen," said he, in an humble torte of voice, xr to play a tune ? I un only an amateur, and if you prefer giv, Mg me a few coppers I will spare you the annoyance of hstenitig to Tile." Every one felt at once for a few stray coppers, and the musician de katted 1 with n profotend obeisance. This he repeated several evenings in sr CCe si on. At last, one evening, a young plan ask- ed hint in a friendly manner to give them a tune, goodor bad. " But I ate Afield, sir, 1 shell disapp oint you,'" ' " tever end that ,blv0 no s time.' "But z am a very poor plityer, and 1, heave,fa 'very poor instrlimellt." "No natter for that ; I was t to hear you.'

It begun on the 28rd of April last, and the;speech of the Crown preseeutor in opening the case lasted five days. For- eign witnesses, who were anxious to re- turn home, were first examined. Next, since in trials for perjury, however spe- cific the limited matter relied on nlay;tbe, the examinations2 from which it is extracted, must be read from beginning to end, the Court was engaged for more thanafortnight in the reading of documents, and it was tho 20th of May before the examiaiation of the witnesses for the prosecution was re -commenced. From that day the stream of witnesses continued down to the 10th of July, the fifty-sixth day of the tial, when the case for the prosecution was closed. Altogether, 212 persons had then given evidence, and might roughly be ;;divided under the heads of the Tichborne family, friends, and connections, children, Au- stralia, Wapping, and other Orton wit- nesses ; it-nesses; Stoneyhurst, military, medical, and miscellaneous witnesses. The court then adjourned till July 21st, and on the next day, Dr. Kenealy, for the defence, began his address, which, with holidays, lasted exactly one calendar month. On the,22nd of August the ex- amination of witnesses for the ;;defence was begun, and lasted till the 27th of October, the 124th day of the trial,when the 260th and last witness for the de- fence was examined. .These may in lik4lnanner be divided into Wapping, military, Australian, Hampshire, Dor- setshire, medical, Osprey, and miscel- laneous witnesses. On the 29th, Mr. Hawkins, the Crown prosecutor, pro- ceeded with rebutting evidence, which occupied two days, thirty persons neing examined. The Court then adjourned till the 17th of November, and finally to the 27th, to give time to prosecute enquiries into certain statements made by a witness calling himself Jean Luie, and to do which an officer was despat- ched to the United States. On the of- ficer's return two days were employed in his examination, andthat of the :wit- nesses, and documentary evidence brought back with him in contradiction of Luie's statements. Then came what may be styled the Luie episode, which ended in the discovery that he had been a swindler, calling himself Capt. Toren- son. On the 2nd of December, Dr. Kenealy rose to sum up " for the de- fence, but after he had spoken for four days, the Luie episode again made its. appearance, ending in a discovery that he—a Swede, and pretended steward of the " Osprey "—was in reality a ticket - of -leave convict. These subsidiary proceedings occupied three days, and resulted in Luie's committal to. prison- Dr. Kenealy resumed his speech on the llth of December, and continued it ti11 the 18th, when he was absent through sickness, and the court adjourned for the Christmas holidays. On the re -as- sembling of the court, he again took up his address coming to a conclusion on the 14th of January. It . then re - mined for the Crown .prosecutor to fol- low, and the Judge to sum up, which, however, it is expected will be accom- plished by the end of the month, so that this extraordinary trial will have continuously occupied the court over more than three-quarters of a year. The expense to the Government of'', prosecuting the claimant for perjury, is set down at half a million pounds, in- cluding salaries of Judges, expenses of witnesses, foes of prosecuting counsel, &c. It is to be remembered that the Crown took the somewhat unusual course of paying the Claimant's witnes- ses, and bearing the expense of the prosecution. Such n course is unpre- cedented.
