"I don't see how I coultl have done more for him than I did ; but etill the man should not have punished he should have beeu acquitted." With these words the Judge awoke to the consciousness that he had a fellow-traveler ; and then, as if some ex planation of his remark would be in order, he went on ; "We had a very interesting trial in Austin last week, Tom Carberry Irish Tom he is called was tried for niur- . n , J . uef. aeienaeu Bim; buu never einiK- i 1 1 : !, i lilh fleu iwrucr iur v'luu' "'J or a week before, and throughout the trial, I worked night and day to look up testimony, and to present the case to the jury in the best possible lij;ht. I consulted with all the attorneys not engaged for the prosecution. We got bun oil wiUi three years lor toe reui tentiarv : but he oueht not to have been punished he should nave oeeu acquitted." ihe lellow-pasienger queriel as to the circumstances attending the alleged murder, and the Judge, answered : "Ihey were very peculiar, anil that is the reason why the trial was so very interesting. A woman up in Montana, who never saw Tom Carberry, thought that he hud done her a great wroug; and so, wheu she was usked, as the phrase s, to 'take up with a new man, sho named her terms: "Kill Tom Carberry, of Austin, Nevada.' " 'But I never saw nor heard of the man,' said the Montana aspirant. "Nevertheless,' said she, 'kill Tom Carberry.' "It is the depth of winter,' was ob jected, 'and we are hundreds of miles from Austin. lue journey cuuuut now be made.' "'Kill him in the spring,' said the unrelenting woman.' "'Yes,' said he, and the compact was sealed. "With the opening of travel in tho spring there arrived at Salt Lake City, by the Montana stage, an individual who freely annouueed that he was ou his way to kill Carberry. Tom heard of it, but he took no steps either to get out of tho way or to be specially prepared to see compa ny, lie was then employed at Key stone Mill, nine miles from town, and he staid there nearly a whole week af ter he knew the Montana chap was in Austin. You see, Tom is a peaceable man, and ho didn't want any difficulty. Most men would have come in at once, and got the affair oil' their hnnds." The listener entertained doubts at this point, but saying Judge proceeded : nothing, the "Saturday evening, just as usual with him, Tom camo iuto the city, and after getting shaved and fixed up for ! bis holiday, be went around to tho sa loons, where many of the people of mining towns spent their leisure, to meet his friends. It wasn't long till he encountered the Montana fellow, who began at ouce, in Tom's hearing, to make insulting remarks." Here the listener interrupted with "Why did he make insulting re marks? If be hud made a journey solely for the purpose of killing Tom, why didu t he shoot htm ofl-naud r ".because, said the Judt;e, "that would have been murdar. The com munity is down on murder, and he would havo been dangling from an- awning-beam in iifteeu minutes. Kill ing is a veiy different matter. When two men get iuto a tight, and all is fair between tbem,nd one ..ills the other. eommuuitv don't ordinarilv seem much concern in the subject. Under ' . - . . such circumstances, the only way for Montana was to provoke lorn to quar rel, an J lead him to fisrht. I5ut fom wasn't disposed to gratify him he wouldn't take any notice didn't seem to bear : but repeatedly left one saloon to go to another, just to keep out of the way. Montana followed him up, until, at last, standing right before Tom. he jumped up about two feet from the floor, and came down with heavy jar, and said : 'I'm Chief T Even this i'ona didn't resent, and when he got up and went away to his room to bed, there wasn't one of them to say a good word for turn, "Moutana enjoyed a season of glory He had said, 'I'm Chief V in a public place and no man had dared to accept the challenge. "The next morning Tom was stand ing on the sidewalk, when Montana came along, and they met face to face. Tom spoke to him in a very quiet, low tone, saying: " 'Stranger, you used me pretty rough last night, but I don't bear mal ice. Jest say that you'd been drink in' and didn't mean it, and we'll say no more about it.' "Montana answered,: 'No apologies in mine.' "Well,' said Tom, 'yo needn't apol ogise ; come into the saloon and chink glasses with me, and we'll let the mat ter drop.' . "Then Montana said: 'Tom Car berry, either you're generous, or else you're a cownrd. I don't think you're cowardly, an' if I'd known you at the start it's most likely I wouldn't ha' waded in. But the matter can't be let drop, for there's hundreds of people in my section au' between here an' there who know that I came here to kill you ; so there's but two ways we inus( fight, or you must run. If you'll run, it'll be just as good to me as to fight.' "Tom's almost suppliant bearing disappeared on the iustaat, and lie said : 'Stranger, I ain't much in the habit o' ruuuiu', an' if we're to fight we may as well have it out now as any time. Are you heeled ?" "Tom asked this question, because we havo a law againut carrying con cealed weapons, which is regarded at such hours as people think they will have no use for their arms, and disre garded all others. "The answer ivas, 'No; I left my revolver with the barkeeper of tho Exchange.' " 'Get it,' said lom; ill wait tor you here.' "I am making a long story of the shooting, which in reality was very soon over. They fired three shots apiece in as many seo.nds. Tom's third ball passed through Montana's heart, and he was dead before Into head rebounded on the brick pavement. Carberry surrendered himself at ouce, and was kept in jail until his trial came off, although bail to any amount was offered." After a pause, the judge added : "1 don't see how I conlu have done more for him than I did ; ' but the man should not have beeu punished he should have been acquitted ; and he would have been but for one circum stance, which prejudiced the court and jury against him. " hat was the circumstance so prejudicial?" questioned the listener. "The Montana chap was the fourth man Tom had killed iu .Austin," an swered the Judge, innocently. Over land Monthly. HEROIC! WOMAN-TIIK ItEKTiBEAR r-TOUV Olf I'llK feEASON. The Roseburg, Oregon, Plaindealer relates : A corrnspondeut, writing from Canyonville, sends us the follow ing interesting incident which occurred near that place: About tu days since Huury Bland and his wife, of Can yonjrille Precinct, weut out into the mountains to look after their sheep. When about three miles from home his two dogs got after a hear, and, af ter a severe chase, succeeded in com pelling the bear tc climb a tree. About the time Mr. Bland and his wife reach ed tho foot of the tree another fero cious bear suddenly put in an ap pearance, and savagely attacked the dogs in the immediate presence of Mr. aud Mrs. Bland. Ihe light now be came animated and furious, dogs aud bear rollinar over each other in the death struggle down a steep mountain into the canyon below. ISIuuu was armed with a Henry rifle, but dared not shoot for fear of killing his dogs. No came the question how to rescue the dogs ; only two cartridges were in the rifle, and these had to bo used to the best advuntage. Mrs. Bland urged her husband to go to the assistance of the dogs while she, alone and unarmed, undertook took to keep the .turocious monster up the tree. He started down into the canyon, to where the conflict was raging, guided by the growls and yelps of the dogs aud bear. Ilearriv- not a moment too soon, tor iiruiu was evidently eetliuB the best of it, and would only bo pacihed by the last biiot from the now empty rifle. It was dark when Bland returned to his wife at the foot of the tree. The situation was anvthintr but flatterinif, The empty rifle was of little use, and upon the determination of Mrs. Bland to sit up with the bear, he sturtcd for home for more amuuitinn. The lady being reinforced by the blcediiig dogs now felt that she was mistress of the situation. With no fire, far from home in the midst of craggy mountains, this indomitable lady held at bay one of the most ferocious monsters of the forest. Tho bear, not liking his new home, determined to descend tho tree, but our heroine, with a stick and the barkiug of the dogs, compelled Bruin to take a sober second thought, aud, taking up a position on a lower lirah, with eyeballs of fire he stared at the scene below ; but our huntress was not to be dismayed by the presence of her horrible companion, hut stood guard until ahotit ten o'clock, when her husband and another man came taher assistance, rjhe then started for home through tlie deep canyons and gorges of the mountains, entirely alone, and it was midnight when she safely ar rived at her own dwelling. The next morning, as soon as it was sufficiently light, the bear was shot. He proved to be one of the largest of those known as the cinnamon variety. A MINISTERIAL MUSCLE." The St. Cloud Journal says: The following particulars of a lively en counter between the Rev. William Copp, a Methodist EpiscopsI Minister, and Anthony Carey, which took place at Sank Rapids on Saturday evening, have been furnished us: It seem? that Carey had 'a grudge against Mr. Copp for some temperance remarks, supposed to be personal, made in an out-door religious gothcr ing in Sunk Rapids last Summer. Meet ing in the Postoflice on Saturday even ing, Carey attacked the minister, after some words, striking him a violent blow and repeating it, while Mr. Copp remonstrated with him. Other parties interfered and Mr. Copp started for home, and was walking along the street reading a paper, when Carey running up behind, struck him a heavy blow, which staggered but did not fell him. This was too much for Christian endurauce and the expounder of the Gospel, getting his.caue well iu hand, became fln energetic pounder of man, and laid ou "roost vigorously. Carey did not seem to enjoy this practical illustration of the reverend geutlo man's belief in man's free moral agen cy, and closed iu on him. Being the stronger of the two, he wrested the cane away, and tho tide of battle seemed to have turned against tho man of peace. But a fortunate brick lay within reach, and seizing this Mr. Copp gave his assailant a sockdologer ou the forehead which laid him out as cold as a codfish, and for the spuce of several seconds tho "further proceed ings interested him no more." Other parties hid reached tho scene of con flict by this time and when Carey had collected his scattered sences aud rose to his feet there was too big a crowd fur him to htjht. But getting sight of Mr. Copp s stove-pipe hat, which had rolled otr, he ran and jumped up and down on it as though the ministerial caput wero inside of it. Both parties finally got liome without any iurmer trouble. There was no doubt but that Mr. Copp was grossly abused, and de fended hiniBolt by force only wheu leit no other remedy. It isn't always safo to pile into a man just because he wears a white choker. TI1KPKEISK.NTMJTV. . The way to make easy times is as clear as daylight.

John Ploughman once said, "I never know a good horse which had noisome odd habit or other, and I never yet saw a minister worth his salt who' had not some crochet or oddity. Now these are the bits of cheese that cuvil crs smell out and nibble at; this man is too slow, and another too fast; the first is too flowery, and the second is too dull.

A lady had gone to visit a young couple of the better class of the poor. They had no children, and the husband being a stoker on the roilway, they were above the reach of want. Under those circumstances it seemed to the .visitor that they might have attended to their religious duties ut least to the extent of going to church on Sundays, and she ventured to intimate as much, to the young woman, who was stand ing rather idly, at the door. "Will you please walk in till I show you something?" was the woman's an swer; and she conducted her visitor to tho little kitchen, where her husband sat by the fire. He had just come for half au hour to have his tea, and was watching the kettle with the most ab sorbing interest. He was, of course, iu his woiking clothes, and his face and hauds were of a deep oily black, after the manner of stokers. "Now, ma'am," said the woman pointing to him, "you see that there man. That's my bus band, and I'm. bound to do a part by him, aiu't I?" "Surely," said the visitor, anxious to uphold the duties of matrimony. "Very well, then, would you like to know-how I pass my Sundays? A washing of he! Never a blessed moment has he to wash him self through the week ; out early and late, and half of the night too, and blacker nor any crow all the while. Well, on Sunday it is fitting and pro per that ho should try to look like a christian if he can'; so he sets me to it after we eats our breakfast, with a bucketful of soapsuds and scrubbing brush, and I rubs at him, off and on all day, till my arms ache fearfully, and then after we has our tea he says to me, 'Come, Sally, have another try, there' a brave Wench,' and I goes ui him again and sluices him down till you'd think a born nigger'd come out white ; and, if you beliove me,, ma'am, when I polishes him off with a dry towel afore ho goes to bed, he's on ly a light brown after all." What was to be said to such stubborn facts especially when the good woman finished with the unanswerable argu ment, "So you see, ma'am,, them , as wants to live religious has best not to marry a stoker." , .
