Jes.a...-4••-.F•no•tpot EXPOSITORa- The Lawyer and the Thief. Some time ago, while A lawyer was at - ,tending court ix. an 'interior, _nounty, he WW1 applied to by a singular specimen of humanity, charged with grand larceny, # to defend him. The lawyer very natur- ally inquired what crime he wae. accused o. The party accused replied that aonio. b�dy had, been mean enough to charge him with stealing $150 in bills, andgot him indicted. "Are you guilty ?" asked the lawyer. "That's none of -your business," replied the accused. "They say that makes no difference with you, whether a Man is • guilty ornot, you will contrive to dig him out in some way. So, don't talk any more about guilt till you hear what the jury says." • "Well, what about the pay ?" said the lawyer. "You just hold on till the trial is over; give K (the complainant) fits on the cross-examination, and that other fellow he has got to back him up, and you'll have no trouble about the pay' The trial commenced, and proved to • he a somewhat protracted and exciting one. The District Attorney proved that the Money in question was composed of two tifty-dollar bills on a certain bank, and the remainder all in! ten dollar bills, - all of which were wrapped up in a piece of oil -silk. The jury, after listening to - the counsel in the case and reeeiVing the charge of the fudge, retired, and soon re- turned with a verdict of not guilty. Tfie accused, who was greatly -elated over the result of the trial and the effort of his counsel, invited the latter into one 'of the vacant jury -rooms. As soon as they were alone, he slapped his counsel on the shoulder, and exclaimed, "Free as water, ain't I ? What's the use of trying a man for stealing when you're around. Now, I s'pose you want your pay ?" "Yea, have you got anything to pay with ?" said the lawyer. "Lend me your knife and we'll see about that." The lawyer, slightly started at such a proposition, rather reluctantly com- plied. The accused immediately commenced ripping and cutting away at the waist- band of his pantaloons, and soon produc- ed the roll of . bills for the stealing of which he had just been tried, wrapped up in the identical piece of oil -silk &- scribed by the witnesses for the prose- cution, and throwing it down on the table before the astonished lawyer, ex- claimed: "There, take your money outnf that, I guess there is enough there to pay you tolerably well." "Why, you villain ! you stole that money after all," said the lawyer. "Do you expect I can take any of that money?"• "Stole that money ! Why, what are you talking ahout ? Didn't them twelve men up-stairsthere just say 1 didn't steal it? What's the use of your trying to raise a question of conscience, after twelve respectable men have given their opinion upon the subje0 ? Take your pay out of that, and ask no questions. Don't be modest in taking; I got it easy enough, and you've worked bard enough for it." Tbe chap didn't have much change left after the lawyer had satisfied his "con- science in the premises. How Tight They Wear Them. The extremities to which fashion has advanced. in London in female attire are really deplorable. A lady on whose truthfulness I can depend confides to me the following particulars: She was asked the other dayf to inspect the wedding trousseau of a young lady of high rank. The dresses were very numerous and beautiful, and every accessory of attire was in the height el fashion, if not of good taste. "But where," inquired my friend, "is the under clothing ? ' said the milliner, with a smile of pity, "ladies wear none nowadays, They wear these instead." And she - pointed to three complete suits, not of armor, but of chamoivierather. - It is only over chamois leather that the skirts from Worth can be strained tight enough. At Bristol, the other day, the Mayor gave an entertainment to the Lord Mayor of London, and the occasion seemed so important that one -lady gnest sent to Paris for her dinner dress. It was so tight when it came that she had to take off garment after garment be- , fore she could get into it at all. And then she had to sit down at the table. I am told that her sufferings were con- siderable during the repast ; but her worst misery was the reflection, "HOw Shalt I get up again ?" Eventually she did get up, thanks to the gentlemen on each side of her, who pulled •doveri the refractory garment by main' force. • At the very last drawing room atrBuck- ingliam Palace a similar catastrophe took, place. A lady made her bow to the Queen a little too .low for her "kicking s strap," (as a man would call it, but I dare say Mr. Worth has Some prettier 4me), and it slipped down so far that she could not get up again. The Lord High 'Chamberlain himself had to come forward and. set her straight. -R. Kem- ble's English Gossip. A Night at a Japanese Inn. We entered the village, which was once a city containing over a million inhabitants, and put up at a native hotel. kept in native style. Again obeying the custom of undressing the feet, we passed many guests sitting upon mats and making their chopsticks fly in a way that would make a Yankee envious even in a railroad eating house. Up -stairs we went, and were shown into a room whose walls -consisted merely of. paper, partitioning one room. from the other, but which were scrupulously clean. Ordering supper and sotne native Wine, we were quickly served by a rather good-looking maid. \I:bile awaiting tbe result of our order we were served with "tidbid" pastry and with some sack -6e, also a bowl contain- ing live coals, together with pipes; after whieh, gidving us time for a smoke, the courses began with fish, not cooked enough for our taste, then eggs chicken, sw,eet potatoes, rice, and.tea. No bread was Served us nor butter, but as the tea was remarkably fine, and the eggs, though small, were duly seasoned with Irock salt, we made a good meal; rendered awkward by lack of experience in using the chopsticks, which ,r ere peneil-shaped and used by holding or pressing the food between the ends, the guests meanwhile peeping through the partitions and giggling at our frantic efforts to eat gracefully. While eating supper the governor of the place sent a constable to obtain our names and residence, that we might. be 11174111 3 under police protection, we being the -first white men that ever spent a night in the place. Supper being over, we took a short walk through the town, awl as there were many pilgrims in the place who had never seen a Caueassian before; we were the "observed of alleobservers," eSpecially our friend, an Englishnian, who is 'six feet two. inches in his stoat- ing feet, making him a giant among them. Going back to the hotel, our friend asked us if we wanted a bath and sham - p00; answering in the affirmative, he gave the order, and nearing a long, low, and somewhat sad whistle, whichfwe had heard both by day and by night in, Yokohama -and which, though it had excited our curiosity, we had failed to inquire the reason of-he.went into the street and brought in a blind man, who he said was to do the shampooing. The bath being ready, we went down stairs and were shown into a room, whose wet floor proved it to be in constant use. After' fini3hing our bath we; donned our gowns' and_ returned to our room, where the "blind man" took us in charge. Commencing with oar feet, he knuckled us all over, prying in between every joint and muscle of our back and limbs, excepting .the region of the chest, and which, after he was through, made us feel as linaber as an acrobat. These shampooer's, it is said, are made blind in their childhood, that they may ply their vocation without injuring the suscepti- bilities of any one. The sun rose un- clouded on thel following morning, and after a breakfast serVed on the floor, similar in quality to the supper of the evening before, we paid our bill, which amounted to $1l75 -this for both of us, including our wine. -Car. San Francisco Chronicle. A Badly Matched Team: Among the first things a couple have to do upon getting married is to accom- modate themselves each to .the other's walk, and in this matter' of accommoda- tion they don't always succeed well. Mr. and Mrs. McNabb, of the Second ward, have had an especially bard time in thia respect, andare really little better off than they were at the beginning of the honeymoon.‘ Mr, McNabb is tall and lean, with a stride of about la yard, and Mrs. McNabb is *short and dumpy, with a step carefully estimated by her, husband at abent six inches on the aver- age; So, when they first -began walking together the 'effort was odd. There was the "patter, patter, patter," of Mrs. McNabb's short paces, with the heavy "thump" of her husband's footsteps, coming in at intervals, and the effect was simply ridiculous. At first the con Alma - tion between them was this way: ; "Oh, Augustus, dear, please do take a little shorter steps." "Why, Angelina, I'm walking as usual-; can't you step a little longer, darling ?" But he didn't take shorter steps nor she longer ones, because it was a practical impossibility in either case, and after a month or. two conversation ran more interestingly. "Augustus, don't take such horrid strides. I am not a giantess." "No, evidently you're less like giant- ess than a beetle. Do you suppoote I can patter along to keep time with your six Inch hops? Nonsense !" , At the end, of the first half year the two never went .out without a quarrel. She'd break out every time: r "You're a beast, Anguscusi I'd as soon walk with a big pair of shears ! No gentleman would straddle so with a lady on his arm, you brute !" "That'll do, madam ! il&rd enough to force a man to literally cMy you, without insulting him You'll die of ivanition yet, and next time I'll marry a woman with more legs and less tongue! This thineb's, an infernal nuisance !" And then they gave up walking to- gether for a year or more. Finally, as necessity sometimes compelled them to go out together, it was arranged between ,them that in walking he should keep • time with every third step of hers, and the plan works, after a fashion. As they, go along the sidewalk the sound is "pat-, ter, patter, thump !" "patter, patter,' thump !" and it's funny. The only diffi- culty about the device is that three of her steps fall a fraction short of one of his; and every other minute she has to wriggle and hop or he has to halt and stumble to allow her tolihatch. up. They' are an unhappy couple, and all because the distances from their bodi s to the ground vary so much.--Sprin( eld Re- publican. • A Turkish Post Office The office is generally located in some mall wooden structure of one or two stories. The lower story, except the office, is often used as a stable, while the upper serves the official for his' private quarters. The entrance to the office is by a curtain.- Within, stretched on a divan, the postmaster smokes in digni- fied comfort, while, from time te time, acquaintances drop in for a smoke and chat. Beide him stand aeveral 'baskets containing letters.The • postmaster is expected, to be in his office till sunset,, where he receives now and then a letter, which he flings into a basket, or where he answers inquiries after letters and delivers them. At dusk the office is closed, the fire and mongOl are put out, and the Weary official waddles as fast as his loose, wide pantaloons, and still wider and looser slippers will allow, either to the upper story, Pr to spend the evening with his Fatima i or to smoke it away in the company of other local dignitaries. Such is the itoutine of al Turkish provincial post °fa -6 six days! out of the seven.; The exception is, that day in the week when the 'Constantinople mail is expected to arrive: The mail is generally late, and at least enters the town at a snail's pace In an hmir the post office is jammed full of people. The official has now no alternative, much as .he dislikes the necessity, but to set to work. He begins his functions in the presence of the crowd by 1 opening the mail bag and taking off, the coarse paper in which the bundles of letters are wrap- ped. Among those who accept letters are perhaps twenty of the same name; not one of them has a surname, they being distinguished by some personal peculiarity. No sooner, therefore, has he named the superscription of a letter, than ,half a dozen individuals of the same name stretch out their hands to receive it, each swearing that the missive must be his property, and cannot possibly be given to any other! The postmaster, seated on the floor; bold in his arms a bundle of letters, in order the better to defend them against being snatched away, and thus he. Makes -spasmodic efforts to proceed with the work of assort- ment by studying the addresses through a pair tpf gigantic spectacles. As the • Office is entirely wanting hi furniture, even tables awl pigeon -holes being- alto- gether unknown, he puts the letters now under the cushions of the divan, now into the capacious pockets of his vest and pantaloons. Many of them drop unheeded uppn the floor. Occasionally i a persistent ndividual, who has for an hour claimed every letter to be his own, makes a hold'dash at the Mail bag .and carries.off, encouraged by the sympathiz- ing crowd, a whole bundle of letters, which he takes to the other side of the room. There he is immediately joined by other disappointed applicants for epistolary favors, and heedless of the postmaster's imprecations, they each claim theirown letters, when those re- maining are thrown 'back into the basket. When this takes place the postmaster has probably asserted his authority and satisfied the wishes of his turbulent visitors. Some lettere may have reached their owners, but the, greater part have fallen into hands thatrhad not the slight- est claim to them. The rest are hidden away under the cushions of the divan, or lie scattered about over the floor. The latter may possibly, sooner or later, reach their. destination, but the chanes are that the majority of them will _be lost or torn. - A Half Dollar in a Boy's lEso- phagus. It seems almost incredible that a boy only eight years old, ora person of any age, .could have carried in his xsophagus a silver half dollar for nearly three weeks without experiencing any inconvenience except a frequent desire to spit, yet we have the'best evidence that such was the case with the coin now on exhibition in the Journal office window. On Thursday, October 19bh, Dr. W. H. Hazard, of Wakefield, was called to attend a lit- tle boy, eight years old,- the son of Mr. Geo. Booth, of Peacedale, who, it was said, had got a half dollar stuck in his throat. Dr: Hazard was quite sure that be.felt the half dollar by the pressure of his hand on the neck externally. On the 21st of October the boy came to Providence and was examined by Dr. Robert Millar, who, we are informed, came to the conclusion that the boy was mistaken, and that there was no half dollar in his throat or stomach. On Sun- day last the boy, while washing, cdughed up the one iin our window. -Proeicteme ( R. 1.) Journal. The Death of a Gold King: . William Abbott, "the king of the Cariboo gold mines," recently died in Victoria, British Columbia. He was one of a company who struck rich pay on William Creek, in 1861, arriving at Vic- toria with £300 of gold in the fall of that year. He was the "lion" of the winter of 1862, and spent his gold lavishly. On one occasion he entered a saloon and shied a handful of $20 gold piece's at a large plate glass mirror behind the bar, shattering it. When reporoached by the barkeeper he requested him to keep the "beast for the damage." On another occasion he and another Caribooite as- tonished Government street by throwing $20 gold pieces at each other until stop- ped by thespolice. On his return to Cari- boo, Abbott's good fortune continued, and he has been known to stake $10,000 on a hand at poker: After two or three years' prosperity he got to the bottom of his claim and his purse at the same time. He died miserably poor. -St. Paul Pio- neer. Grand Trunk Railway. Trains leave Sealorth Station as follows: GOING WEsT- Day Express 208 P. M. Night Express 8 55 P. M. Morning Mixed 10.25 A. M.
