THE WOLF AND THE LAMB. “Why did you’ soil this water ¢” said Jay to Cyrus. ‘I didn't!” was tne indignant repiy. You’ re higher up the stream than Lam and you did it yourself, something in that,” said Jay re- flecti “Perhaps we had better give him the benefit of the doubt.” And thereupon he seized upon Cyrus and deliberately ate him up, leaving his hide, however, and carefully hanging it on the fence to dry OUR LATER TYRA. It is one of the privileges of the bench and bar to calla sman ora witness a liar without suffering the penalty usually belonging to that declaration. Thus Judge Barrett did it to enunciate his in- dignation over a foolish, but by no means a malicious, peasantry on the part of a talesman badgered half to death by the bench, the bar and the reporters, and that n will suffer from the gnity fora to come.

Is not this tyranny? Is the judi- cial robe the garment of the king? Is it the privilege of judge or lawyer to insult gen: tlemen who areal submissive to their di mand to neglect their own business that they may attend to that of the bar and the quar- relsome portions of the community? What a lofty assumption of dignity, and of the right to ignore the priv- ileges of the layman, is that of the bench and with what magnif- icent impertinence a ger a from the id Mr. Blaine: Se but 3 you mis- ; and if you want anybody to ‘your late Jolin: Brown you ouight to send for Roscoe Conkling the beautifulest man on the American continent, and I think he’s just the man for the posi A shade of apparently sad reflection crossed her majesty’s brow, and Mr. Blaine took advantage of the interlude to swop his weight to the other foot. ‘* May I ask,” finally said Mr. Blaine, ‘* with respect to the state of her majesty’s health ?” “Vich TL vish you vouldn't! replied her majesty with some warmth, ** Ve gets our usual hallot ce 0” porter and roast beef, and, hall reports to the contrary, u: ‘em as ve needs ‘em, han unfailing happre the same.
