Fanny Traits of Western Courts.
A western magazine publishes a chapter
of legal anecdotes characteristic of the fash
ions in the law courts of those diggins, sev
eral of which are good enough to extract:—
The first illustrates the ruling passion for
“ poker,” even among Western m'embors of
the bar. The Court is in session, the Judge
is on the bench, and the case of fjmith vs.
Brown is called up. “ All ready 1” shouts
the counsel for defendant, but the counsel for
the plaintiff does not respond, “ Who’s for
the plaintiff?” inquires the Judge, somewhat
impatiently. “May it please the court,”
says a rising member of the legal fraternity,
« Pilkins is for the plaintiff, but I left him just
now over in the tavern, playing a game of
poker He’s got a “ sucker” there, and he’s
sure to skin him if he only has lime. He's
gnt the thing all set to wring in a " cold
duck,” in which case he will deal himself
four aces and his opponent four queens so
that your honor must perceive he must ‘ rake
the persimons.’” The look of impatience
vanished from the face of his Honor at once,
and an expression of sorrow more than anger
loook its place. At length, he said, with a'
heavy sigh, “ Dear me, that’s too bad I It
happens at a very unfortunate lime. lam
very anxious to get on with these cases !” A
brown s'udy followed, and at length a happy
idea struck the Judge. “ Bill,” said he, ad
dressing the friend of the absent Pilkins, who
had spoken, “ you understand poker about as
well as Pilkins—supposo you go over and
piny his hand I” At another lime, counsel
took some exception as to the ruling of the
Court on a certain point, and a dispute arose.
“If the Court pleases,” said the counsel,
“ 1 wish to"refer to this book a momeu',” nt
the same lime picking up a large law volume.
“ There’s no use o’ your referring to any
books," exclaimed the Court, angrily, •' I
have decided the pint!” “ Bui, your Honor
” persisted the lawyer. “ Now I don’t
want to hear anything further on the sub
ject,” yelled the Court. “ I tell you again,
I have decided the pint 1” “ I know that,”
was the rejoinder, “ 1 am satisfied of that—
but this is a volume of Blackslone—l’m cer
tain he differs with your Honor, nnd I only
want to show you what a d — n fool Black
stone was!" •' Ah, that indeed 1” exclaimed
ihe Court, smiling all over, “ now you begin
to talk.” On a similar occasion the affair
did not end so happily. The Court' decided
n point adverse to the views of the counsel.
Counsel was stubborn, and insisted that the
court was wrong. “ 1 tell you lam right!”
yelled the Court, with flashing eyes. “ I tell
you, you are not!” retorted the counsel.-L
-“I am right!" reiterated the Court, “ damn
a nigger if 1 ain’t!” “ [ say you ain’t I” per
sis'ed the counsel. “ Crier,’’ yelled the
judge, “ I adjourn the court for ten min
utes!” and jumping from the bench, lie
pitched into the counsel, and after a very
lively little fight placed him horsdu combat,
after which business was again resumed, but
it was not long before anpiher misunder
standing arose. “ Crier,” said the Court,
“we will adjourn this timejfor twenty min
utes !” nnd he was about taking off his coal,
when the counsel said, “ Never mind, judge,
keep vour seal—the point is yielded— my
thumb's out o' joint, and Tot sprained my
shoulder /”
Good Reading.
From the Wellsvlllo Free Proa*.
Every family should be provided with good
newspaper reading. Among political papers,
the New York weekly editions of lha Trib
une, Times and Evening Post are worth fi»e
times their cost, which in clubs is only 81
each.
Tho National Era, the only true paper
published at the seal of the Federal Govern,
mcnt, is unrivaled as a reflex of just Republi
can sentiment, and its list should be doubled.
Those who would desire to subscribe for the
Era can do so at 81 50 per year, by getting
a club of ten. The individual gelling up the
club will be entitled to a copy fur the service
for one year.
Among reformatory journals, in the ami-
Slavery field,'We know of no better than
Frederick Douglass' Paper published at
Rochester, at $1 60 per annum, and the
Anti-Slavery Standard, New York, at the
same price.
The Cayuga Chief, published at Fort At
kinson, Wisconsin, by T. W. and Emma
Frown, and the Teetotaller, of Utica, by
Wesley Bailey, are both just as good Tem
perance journals as were ever gotten out. —
Either of these may be had at 81 per year.
Of religious papers, the New York Inde
pendent, Congregational; the Sabbath Re
corder, Baptist Seventh Day ; the Northern
Independent, Mr. Hosmbr's new paper: and
the Northern Christian Advocate, the first
Methodist Episcopal Independent, and the
latter Methodist Episcopal exclusively, are all
most excellent journals.
Kissing. —Kissing is an accomplishment
that should form a part of every gentleman’s
education, A man that is to bashful to kiss
a lady as Mrs. Malaprop would say, when
all is agreeable, is a poor good-for-nought.
* * * Don’t bungle the mat
ter by five minute’s torlue, like a cal playing
with a mouse. Kiss deliberately—sensible
all the time ol the great duly you are per
forming—but remember also that a kiss is to
be taken like champaign just fresh from the
flask. Ah ! then you get it in its airy and
spiritual raciness. If you wish a sentimental
kiss—and after all perhaps they are spicier—
steal your arm around her waist, lake her
hand softly in your[own then tenderly draw
ing her towards you, kiss her ns you might
imagine a zephyr to do it! We never exact
ly tidied-the accomplishment with a stop
watch, bat we’ve no doubt the affair might be
managed very handsomely in ten seconds.—
The exact when a lady should be kissed may
be determined by the intersection of two
imaginary lines, oue drawn perpendicularly
down the centre of the face, and the other
passing at right angles through the line of
the mouth. .
Suppose the girl ain't willing.
Why is a Jackass like an Illinois cornfield?
Because he’s some on ears;
