A LAWYER'S ADVENTURE
About three or four years ago, more or
less, I was practicing law in Illinois, in' a pret.
ty large eiacuit. I was called on one day at
my office at the town of by a very
pretty woman, who, not without tears, told
me that her husband had been arrested for
horse stealing She wished to retain me on
the defense. I asked her why she did not go
to Judge 13 , on ex-Senator of the United
States, whose office was in the same town. I
told her that I was a young man of the bar,
&e. She mournfully said, that helad asked
a retaining fee above her means and insides
did- not want to touch the case, for her hus
band was suspected of belengino °
to an exten•
sive band of horse thieves and counterfeit
ers. w:aose headquarters were on Moore's prai
rie.
I asked her.to tell me the whole truth of
the matter, and if it was true that her hus
band aid belong to such a band.
h sir," said she, "a better man at heart
than my George never lived; but he liked
cards and drink, and I am afraid they made
hint do what he never would have done ifhe
had not drank: I fear it can be proved that
he had the-horse; he didn't steal it; another
did and passed it to him."
I-didn't like the case. I knew that there
was a great.dislike to the Lranv located where
she named; I .feared to risk the case before a
jury. She seemed to observe 'my intention
to refuse the case and burst into tears.
I never could sec a woman weep without
feeling like a weak fool myself. If it hadn't
been for eyes brightened by pearly tears,
(blast the poet that made them come into
fashion by praising them), I'd never been
canght in the lasso of matrimony. And my
would-be client was petty, The handker
chief that hid her streaming eyes didn't hide
her ripe lips, and her snowy lrosorn rose and
fell like a white gull in a gale of wind at
sea. I took the ease and she gave me the
particulars.
The.gang, of which be was not a member,
persuaded him to take the horse. lle knew
the horse was stolen, and like a fool eel:do — W - 1-
ed!yed it when he was arrested. Worse still,
he trimmed the horse's mane and tail to altet
big appearance, and 9.he opposition could
prove it
The trial came on. I tried hard to get a
jury of ignorant men, who had more heart
than brains; Who if they could not fathom
the depths of argument, or follow the laby
rinthine mazes of the law, could feel,fur a
young fellow in a bad fix, a weeping, pretty

A young man entere,dinto life, wedded an

before anti all around him. He kept elev.-
ere. guests there were many; it was not
for him to inquire into their business; they
were well dressed; made s large -bills and paid
promptly. -- Al — art unguarded hour, when he
was insane with the liquor they • had- urged
upon him,.he had deviated from the path of
rectitude. The demon of alcohol had reign
ed in his brain, and it was Mg first offense.
Mercy pleaded for another 'ehattee to' save '
him from ruin. Justice did not' require that

he would have been, cleared; but the prose
cutor bad the close, and threw ice on the fire
I had kindled. But that did not quite put
it out.
The judge charged according to law and
evidence,-bat evidently leaned on the sides
mercy, The jury found a 'verdict of guilty,
but -unanimously recommended the prisoner
to the mercy of the court. My client was
sentenced to the shortest imprisonment the
court was empowered to give, and both jury
and °Gott signed- a petition to the Govern•
went for an unconditional pardon, which has
since been granted, but not before the follow
ing incident occurred: •
Some three months after this I received an
account for collection from a wholesale house
in New York. The parties to collect from I
were bard ones, but they had property, and
'before they bad an idea of the trap laid, I
had the•property, which they were.about to
assign before they broke, under attachment.
Finding, I was neck ahead and bound to win,
they 'caved in' and 'forked over' three thou
sand seven hundred and ninety-four dollars
and eighteen cents (per' memorandttin book)
in good money. . .
They lived in Shawneetown, about thirty.
five or forty miles Southeast of Moore's prai
rie. I received the funds just after bank o•
pening, but other business .detained rne,,uo
til after dinner. 1 then started for C—,
intending to gaas far as the village , of Mt.
Vernon that night.
I had gone about ten or twelve miles,
when I noticed a splended double team of
horses attached to a light wagon, in which
were seated four men, evidently of the high
strung order. They'swept as it to show how
easily they could do it. They shortened in
and allowed me to come up with them and
hailing me, asked me to 'wet,' or in other
words to diminish the contents of a jug of
old rye they had aboard. They asked me
how far I was going. I told them as far as
Mt. Vernon, if my horse didn't tire oat.—
They mentioned a pleasent tavern ten or
twelve miles ahead as a nice stopping place
and then drove on.
I did not like the looks of those fellows,
nor their motions. But I bad a brace of re
volvers and a nice knife; my money was not
in valise or in my sulky but in a belt around
niy body. -I drove flow in hope in that they
would go o n and I would see them no
more. It was nearly dark whet( I saw a
tavern sign ahead. At the same time saw
their own wagon standing before the door,
I would have proved on, but my horse
needed rest. I hauled up and a woman
came to the' door. She turned as pale as a
sheet when she saw me; she did not speak,
but with a meaning : look she put her finger
on her lips and beckoned me in—she was
the wife of my late client
When I entered the party reconized me,
and hailed me as an old' traveling friend,
and asked me to drink. I respectfully, but
firmly declined to do so.
"By thunder, you shall drink or fight!"
said the noisiest of the. party.
"Just as you please—drink I shall not,"
said I, purposely showing the but of a Colt
which kicks six times in rapid succession.
The party interposed and very easily quel
led the assailant. One offered me a cigar,
whiCh I was reluctantly refusing but a
glance from the woman induced me to ac
cept. . She advanced and proffered me a
light, and in doing so, slipped a:note in ray
band, which she must have written a nm
ment before. Never shall I forgot the words.
They ;were: " gang.
They
they are of the
They mean to rob and murder you! Leave
soon; I will detain them." '
I did not feel comfortable just then, but
tried to do so.
"Have you any room to put my horse!"
I asked, turning to the woman. '
"What—are you not ageing on to night?"
asked'one -of the men; "we are."
"No," said I, "I, shall stay here to.

"We'll all stay, th s en, I guess, and make a
night orit?', said another of the out-throats
"You'll have to put ' 7 ou own_horse,
— here's — ititillite," - iiiid the woman.
'
'•I am used to that," I said. Gentlemen,
excuse me a minute, I'll join you in a think
when I come in.."
"Good on your head! More Whisky, old
gal," shouted they.

The. Rights of Citizenship.
Hen. John 'A. Logan, in a speech deliver
ed at Salem, Illinois,
thendvoeating constitutional' amendment,
stated that the section ecnferrir , the rights
of eitizenship,upon.freedmen,dhr not confer
the right of suffrages,,but only protection of
great natural rights, being, equivalent to a
declaration that "every man' is a human be ,
ing;" and that "you hive no right to go out
and murder him; you have no right to , take
his work without paying him his' wages; you
have no right to abuse that man or trifle
_w_lth_hisiigh taint ex n -
_.edov_hylie r a—Douglas--Democrat--of- 1560,
advocated this provision in the'following em
phatic and eloquent language: -
Sir, when you ask me how I became such
a great advocate "of universal citizenship, I
can answer the question. *I have- bad my
prejudices, just as other men in this land,
but wheir I marched with the columns of
loyal men on southern soil, and saw the flag
of treason defiantly flaunted in our faces;
when I looked around me and asked fi3r
friends, I appealed-to-the white-man-in vain;'
he was the friend of the traitor, the sympa•
thizer with rebellion; he owed allegiance, he
thought, to treasen, and not to the GoVern•
ment of the United States. But at the Jeep,
dark hour ormight, the poor colored man,
bowed down by the chains of slavery, would
crawl through thickets, wade the rivers and
come into our picket lines, into our camps,
and tell you where the rebel forcei lay, and
how . you might attack treason and destroy
[Cheers.] That is the reason. why I
eared net when I found a man that, was my
friend—a-friend-to-my - country, though his
skin black, I could trust him sooner than I
could the white-traitor. ("That's so."]
Hence I want him to have the protection
Of the law; I am in favor of his having it,
and ever shall be until he gets it. I ask you,
my countrymen, I ask you, mothers, who are
sitting around in this little group, that have
found sons that lie away far off beneath the
hot burning sands of Georgia, whose faces
you will see no more on earth, whose graves
yotr can never visit again,perhaps, and the
old fathers, too, and the ittle. prattling babe
that often asks his mother, "Mother, , when ,
will my father again return to .me?" to have.
the laws of this land so modified, that while
traitors in the South have their gatherings,
day after day, to strew garland's of flowers
upon the graves of rebel soldiers, that they
may live in their memory as long as life shall
last, if some poor, old, decrepit negro, who
has gained his. liberty by the match ard
prowess of American arms, shall'come along
with a little basket of flowers to strew upon
the grave of' some poor loyal soldier, that he
shall have the right to do it, and that no Per
-son shall have the right to interfere, and that
lie is to be protected. [Emotion ] These
rights they ought to have. ),Ve ought to be
willing to give them to every human being
on top of God'A earth. I hope this is not
treason—at least I don't believe it is
[Laughter ] I believe it is but doing justice
to those people and to ourselves. It is a
Christian act on our part, and we should not
fail to perform it: If we do, we fail to per
form 'a duty that is incumbent upon us to
ward men who have saved tho Government;
and wrenched it from the hands of treason,
when they were fastened upon'its throat.
President Lincoln's Assassians
Saturdry last, says the Washington Citron
icld , was the anniversary of the execution of
of the conspirators—Mrs. Surratt, Payne,
Herold, and Atzerot. They lay buried side
by side in the grounds of the Arsenal and
the wretched Wirz has been added to their
number. All except the latter have painted,
i headboards containing their names. The
scaffold remains standing precisely as it ap
peared on the 7th of July, 1865 Por
tions of the trap-door have been cut off and
carried away by curiosity bunters; but very
few of these have been permitted access to
the grounds. There is a profusion of white
'and blue larkspur growing within the en.'
closure. Ir is difficult for a visitor to the
scene of the execution to realize that one
year hits rolled away since the dread sentence,
of the law was inflicted upon these eritof

Medical Uses of Ice
To a person. burning up with internal fe
vers ice is a comfort beyond expression. -
Swallowing ice freely it small lump is the
chief treatinent in inflammation of the stom
ach.
The constant application of ice, pounded
fine, and enveloping the . head with it by
means of a cushion, or other contrivance, is
the most reliable remedy for that danger - oils
malady inflammation of the brain which so
often sends its victim to the grave in a few
days, or to that living denth;..the mad
house.
In, all inflammation, whether internal, ice
diminishes rapidly the size of the blood ves
sels, and thus relieves the, pain they .give
when thus swollen by their pressing against
the nerves which are always in the neighbor
hood of the arteries of the system..
Diptheria, and some of the very, worst
forms of sore throat, have been arrested in
a very short time by pounding a piece of ice
in a bag, then laying the head back, taking
the lumps and swallow them continuously
until relieved, allowing them to be detained.
in the throat as long as possible, there to
melt.
All form of diarrhea and dysentery where
there is great thirst the gratification of which
by driqkin,, , i. ary liquid increases thS malady
are promptly controlled, and in many cases
are perfectly cured,• by simply swallowing as
large lumps of ice as possible.
Epilepsy itself, one of the most uncontrol
able of human maladies, is said to be trea
ted successfully in London by the applica
tion of ice to the apical portion• of the spa
tem.
A piece of ice laid on the 'wrist will of
arrest profuee and dangerous° bleeding
of the nose..
in croup, water as cold as ice can 'make it
if applied freely and persistently to the
throat,:neck and upper ' part of the chest
with a sponge-or cloth' falter) affords an al
most miraculous relief, especially if followed
by drinking copiously of ice water, wiping
the wetted parts perfectly dry, atea wrap

lowing it to fall into a delightful and life
giving slumber.
A first rate joke took place quite lately in
our court room. A woman was testifying in
behalf Other son, and swore 'that he had
worked on the farm ever since he was, born,'
The lawyer,

'You assert that your son has, worked on a

Life too Short for Strife•
Charles Dickens relates the following of

passed without ever see
ing him in the street, when it fell out that
we dined, each, with his own separate party,
in the Stranger's Room of the Club. Our
chairs were almost back to haelt,,and I took
mice after fie was ee.ited and at dinner, (I
atn 'sorry_ to remember) and did not look that
way. 13efore we had sat long, he openly
wheeled in his chair round, stretched out
'both hands in au engaging manner, and said

"Jerrold was not a Christian, but his Con
duet in this ease was worthy of the Chris
tian character. On a dying bed, how ineig
•nificant will appear many things about which
we contend iu bitterness and wrath ? Life
is AD short, its inevitable sorrows so many,
its responsibilities so vast and solemn, that
there is,.indeed, no time to spare in bruising
and mangling oue another. Let not the sun
go down on your wrath. Never close your
eyes to sleep with a heart angry . towards your
brother and fellow sufferer. See him and be
reconciled to hiui if you can. If you cannot
see him write to him. If he is a true wan
and a Christian, he will listen. If be is not
you will hive done right, and your soul will
; be bright with the sunshine of Heaven."
Don't always turn back because there's
danger ahead; there way be dauber in . the
rear.
