IN tlio winter of 1B70 I lmtl ocwikIoii to go from Qrreti liny to Chlengo, on the N. W. IlnllwHy. At Onlikosh we were Joined by a (It'lrgiilloii of litwyern, on tlit'lr wny to Mmllson, the cupllnl, to altund tlie Lt'gUliiture, then lit notion. They were ex judges of theClreultCourt, and ono I lmtl emi cliMlrninn of the Young Moii'h CIhIhIIiiii Ashdclullmi. The iiirty found sents near together, and after the tmliitutlong were over, and the iiewn duly dlBUUHgi'd, they begun to look about for nieung to while away the time. After awhile gome one imijiimed a game of cards. No tiooner laid than done. Two Heats were turned apart so &B to face each other, a cuhloli Impro vised for a table, and three of our law yei'8, including the chairman of the Young Meu'b ChrlHtlan Association, and a Chicago runner, on good terms with them, were soon deep in the mysteries of a game of euchre. To he sure, they played for stakes no higher than the cigars for the party. But it seems to me that, in the eyes of all discreet persons, this does not change the act nor lesson the danger of its ex ample, but lather heightens it ; as from the less to the greater is the invariable coui'BC of crime. But I did not intend to moralize on paper, but whs about to say that while I was tilled with such thoughts as these, one of the party grew tired of the game, and our remaining judge was Invited to take Ills place. I saw the blood mount In an honest blush of disapproval, to Ids manly face, and he hesitated and drew back, lint the game had become Interesting, and his excited companions urged him. ''Come judge, take a hand," they cried, " we cau't go on without ;-ou." Bo the Judge slowly rose from his seat, inwardly con demning tlie act, as I evidently saw, and stepping forward, took a seat among the players, and tlie game went on. I noticed an old lady in a seat to the rear of the players, who had got on board at Mcnusha, I believe. Gray and bent with age, she had sat abashed, and, with eyes closed, seemed asleep most of the time, until the train, stopping at Oshkosh took tm hoard the company of lawyers. She then underwent a change, and became greatly interested in the company, looking often from one to the other, as if she recognized them all, or was trying to recall their faces. When tlie game of cards was started she be came very restless, would hitch uneasily about In her seat, take up the hem of her faded apron and nervously bite tlie threads. Once or twice I thought she wiped her eyes under her "Shaker bon net," but could not tell. She acted so strange, that I become more Interested In her than in the players, and watched her closely. She got up after a time and tottered forward, holding on jto the seats as she passed. She brushed against Judge in passing, but he had be come interested in tlie game and did not notice her. Reaching the water tank at lust, she drank a cup of water, and took a scat near the door, with her back to the players. Rut she did not long re main there; rising again with difficulty, she tottered back to her former seat, but reaching tlie players, she paused directly in front of them, and now, greatly ex cited threw back her bonnet from her face and looked around at the company. Her action at once arrested their atten tion, and pausing in their play, they all looked up inquiringly. Gazing directly lu the face of Judge , she said, in a tremulous voice. " Do you know me, Judge ?" "No, mother, I don't know you," said the Judge, pleasantly. "Where have we met V" " My name is Smith," f.ald she ; I was with my poor boy three days, off and on, in the court room in Oshkosh, when he was tried for for for robbing some body, and you are the same man that sent him to prisou for ten years, and he died there last June." All faces were now sober, and the pas sengers began to gather around and stand up, all over tlie car, to listen and see what was going on. She did not give the jujge time to answer her, but becoming more and more excited, she went on: " He was a good boy if you did send him to jail. He helped us clear the farm, and when father wus taken sick and died he done all the work, and he was getting along right smart, till he took to going to town and got to playing keards and drinking, and then, somehow he didn't like to work after that, but used to stay out often till mornin', and he'd sleep so(late, and I couldn't wake him when I knowed he'd beeu out so late the night afore. And then the furm kinder run down, and then we lost the team; one of them got killed when he'd been to town one awful cold night. He stayed late, and I suppose they got cold standln' out, aud got skeered and broke loose, and run most home, but run agin the fence and a stake run into one of 'em, and when we found it next mornin' it wag dead, andrthe other was standln' under the shed. And eo after awhile be coaxed me to let him sell the farm and buy a house, and lot In the village, aud he'd work at carpenter work. And so I did, as we couldn't do nothln' on the farm. Rut he grew worse thnn ever, and after awhile ho couldn't get any Work, and wouldn't do anything but gamble and drink all the time, I used to do everything 1 could to get him to quit ant be a gootl Industrious boy agin, but he used to get mad after awhile, anil once he struck me, and in tlie mornin' I found that ho had taken what Utile money there wbb left of the farm, and had run oir. After thut I got along as well as I could, clean In' house for iolks aud wiiBhln', but I didn't hear nothing of him for four or live year9, "but when he got arrested and was took up to Osh kosh for trial, he wrote to lne." . Ry tills time there was not a dry eye in the car, and the cards had disappear ed. The old ludy herself was weeping silently aud speaking in snatches. Rut recovering herself she went on. " Rut what could I dof I sold the house and lot to get money to hire a lawyer, and I believe lie is here some where," looking around. "Oh, yes, there he is, Mr. ," pointing to lawyer who had not taken part in play. " And this is tlie man, I am sure, who argued agin him," pointing to Mr. the district attorney. "Judge , sent him to prison for ten years; B'pose it was right, for the poor boy told me that he did really rob the hank, but be must have beeu drunk, for they had . all been playing keanls most all night, and drinking. Rut, oh 1 dear, it seems to me kinder as though if he hadn't got to playing keards ho might a been alive yet. Rut when I used to tell him it was wrong and bad to play, he used to suy, why mother, everybody plays now. I never bet only for the candy, or cigars or something like that. And wheu we heurd that the young folks played keards, down to Mr. Culver's donation party , and that 'Scjulre Ring was going to have a billiard table for tlie young folks to play on at home, I couldn't do nothing at all with him. We used to think it was awful to do that way when I wus young, but it jlst seems to me us if everybody nowutluyB was going wrong into something or other. Rut may be it isn't right for me to tulk to you Judge, in this way, but it jlst seemed to me as if tlie very sight of them 'keards would kill me, Judge; I thought If you only knew how 1 felt, you would not play on so ; and then to think, right here before ull these young folks. Maybe, Judge, you dou't know how young folks, es pecially boys, look up to such as you; and then I cun't help thinking that, may lie if thvm that ought to know bet ter than to do so, aud them as higher limit, and all that, wouldn't set slch examples, my poor Tom would.be ullve aud earing for his poor old mother; hut now there ain't none of my family left but me and my poor little gran' chile, my dead darter's little girl, and . we aro going to stop with my brother in II llnoy." Tongue of man or angel never preach ed a more eloquent sermon than thut gray withered old lady, trembling with old uge, excitement and feur that she was doing wrong. I can't recull half she said, as she, poor, lone, beggared widow, stood before those noble looking men, and pleaded the cuuseof the rising generation. The look they bore as she poured forth her sorrowful tale was ludesuribuble. To say that they looked like criminals at the bar, would be a faint description. I can imagine how they felt. The old lady tottered to her seat and taking her little grandchild lu her lup, hid her face on her neck. The little one stroked her gray hair with one baud and said, "don't cry gramma, don't cry, gramma." Eyes unused to weeping were red for many a mile on that Journey. Aud I can hardly believe that one who wit nessed the scene ever touched a card aguin. It is but just to say, that whtm the passengers came to themselves they generously responded to the Judge, .who, hat in hand, silently passed through her little audience. Diamond Cut Diamond. AT a shoe store In San Francisco, the parlies concerned were the proprie tor of the store, and a John Chinaman. Examining a pair of boots, the price of which was five dollars John inquired. u How muchee you axee for bootee V" In a spirit of waggery, it is presuma ble, the owner replied, " Two dollar and a lialfee, John. Very cheap bootee alnteeV" "Cheep bootee," said John, who thereupon examined a pair, and con cluding to buy, offered a quarter of an eagle. "But," said the dealer in leather, " this is only enough for one boot. They are two dollars and a half a piece ; two boots cost five dollars." John was somewhat astonished said he would not buy and demanded the re turn of his money ; but the dealer was inexorable. " No John," said the latter, " you have got one boot nntl have paid for It. Now give me another pleco like tills, ami take the oilier." John saw tlie drift of the game, and was at once resolved. "Well," said he, " this bootee Is initio, maybe t 1 pay for HV" " Yes," said the dealer. " And you no give me othe' bootee V" asked John, " Not without the money," said the other. " Well," said John, " I do with tlie bootee what I please I cutee he Up." And there upon John whipped out a knife, cut the boot to pieces, and threw It Into the street exclaiming as lie de parted. " That am my bootee; that other bo your bootee you sell It to the next fool Chlrmmnn what comes along." At hist account the boot dealer was looking for the man with the wooden leg, to whom he might sell the odd boot, aud thus save expense. A SHORT HONEY MOON. A Woman who Wanted a Divorce In Two Hours after Marriage. A LETTER from Rrldgport,Ct.,glve9 the history of a peculiar case In which the honey moon of a wedded couple wus unusually short. The ac count says: A man calling himself Solldenln Jeff erson, the" Mexican Doctor," hut who is described lu a legal process against him as Solomon Jefferson, opened an oftlce lu this city less than four weeks ago, and went to hoard at the house of Mrs. Surah Troland. Slnco that time he bus married Ids landlady's daughter, been sued by his bride for divorce, in voked tlie protection of tlie police to save him from being kidnapped by agents of the Mexlcun Government, and hus left town. The doctor Is slightly under middle age, and of about medium size, hus a very swarthy complexion, long curling hair, aud wears a coat pro fusely decorated with gold meduls. He claims to hull from Mexico and to be a Spanish Mexlcun, but it is understood thut his parents live in Vermont. Wheu he went to board Willi Mrs. Trolutid he exerted himself to the ut most to wiu the good graces of the lady members of the household. To Miss Saruh Troland, aged 20, the Doctor was particularly attentive. The young woman being con lined to the bed with a fractured elbow, Solomon begged leave to attend her, claiming that lie would cure her in short order. She did not Im prove under his treatment, but during the latter part of the time suffered from severul convulsions and appeared to have become weakened both mentally and physically. Refore he hud known the girl three days he began making declarations of love and oiler of mar riage, and on the Suturduy night of the second week be was at the house he ob tained a marriage license und the ser vices of a clergyman aud the marrluge followed. The bride was bo weak that she had to sit while the ceremony wus perform ed. She had never received the Doctor's advunces, but his constant importuni ties, backed by her mother's wishes, caused her to yield. An hour or two after the knot was tied she expressed a strong repugnance to her husband, and vowed thut she would kill herself be fore she would consent to live with him. The mother took sides with the bride, and the Doctor soon afterward left the house. The next two days he came to the house to his meals, but his wife and her mother grew more hostile to him at each appearatice, and finally command ed him to stuy away altogether. Then the wife engaged a lawyer and began a suit for a divorce. The petition alleges that during her week's acquain tance with the respondent she was con fined to her bed with a broken arm, aud suffered great pain and mental anguish : that the respondent then attended her in the capacity of a physician, and, taking advantage of his professional relation, administered to ber catnphor, morphine and other narcotic drugs, with the ob ject of weakening her mind and making her pliable to his wishes ; that while under the influence of those drugs, and with her reason impaired thereby and by her bodily ailments, so that she was not conscious of the full scope her words aud acts, she yielded to the re spondent's persistent importunities, and married him. The petition further al leges that the respondent brought to the house an ordinary marriage license, aud falsely representing it to be a marriage certiticatej claimed that, by virtue of this document, they are lawfully mar ried, aud he could claim her as his wife. The petitioner did not know the differ ence between a certificate and a license, and belleviug the repondent's fraudu lent representations agreed that a clergy man be called aud the ceremony per formed. Ry reason of these false repre sentations, and because the respondent unduly influenced the petloner with drugs, and for the further reasons that the respondent has a previous wife liv ing and has committed ndultry with divers unknown persons, the petitioner asks thut she be granted a divorce and her maiden name. This Is tlie wife's Hide of the story. The Doctor, In contradiction, declares that he was Inveigled Into the marriage for his supposed wealth, and that after he had given his wife's mother $4,000 to keep for him, she refused to give him buck the money, and he received the cold shoulder from the whole family. He ulso denies the statement that they havo not lived together as man and wife. He stated his Intention of resisting the divorce suit, but, In view of the fact that he suddenly left town last night, this Is not believed. Several crimes are alleged against him. Soon after Solomon's arrival here he went to tho Chief of Police and asked to be protected from the agents of the Mexican Government, who were trying to kidnap him to obtain a reward of $.00,0110 promised for his delivery beyond tlie Jurisdiction of the United States. He said that six months ago himself and a Mexican official, named l'eleto, were appointed agents to visit New Orleans and negotiate a Government loan of $1,025,000. The bonds, he added, were taken by the New Orleans bunks at a discount of eight per cent., but l'eleto got possession of ull the money when it was paid over, and returned to Mexico with the story that tlie Doctor had stolen it. The Government there upon offered a reward of $50,000 for his capture, aud to escape the agents on his track, he fled successively to the far West, to Canada, to Maine, and finally to Connecticut. He knew the Mexlcun agents were after him, and was In con stant fear of being seized, put on board a vessel, and carried off to Mexico before tlie local authorities could interfere. The Chief of Police thought the story very improbable, and would have promptly dismissed it as pure fiction bud be not a few days before received a letter, pur porting to have been written by the l'eleto spoken of by the Doctor, request ing information of the Doctor's where abouts, and describing the defalcation und the reward, as the story was told by Solomon. The letter, iiowever, may have been written by some one iu col lusion with Solomon. As to this, or as to the truth or falsity of the story in general, nothing has yet been positively ascertained. Mercantile Maxims. The way to get credit is to be punctual. The way to preserve it is not to use it too much. Settle often ; have short ac counts. Trust to no man's appearance it is deceptive perhaps assumed for the purpose of obtaining credit.. Beware of gaudy exterior. Rogues usually dress well. The rich are pluln men. Trust him, if any one, who carries but little on his back. Never trust him who flies Into a passion on being dunned ; make him pay quickly, if there be any virtue In the law. Re satisfied, before you give a credit, that those you give it to are safe men to be trusted. Sell your goods at a small advance, and never misrepre sent them, or those who you once de ceive will beware of you thesecond time. Deul uprightly with all men, and they will repose confidence in you, and Boon become your permanent customers. Be ware of him who is an office seeker. Men do not usually want an office for support. Trust no stranger. Your goods are better than doubtful charges. What is character worth, if you make it cheap, crediting all alike '( Agree beforehand with every man about to do a job, and if large, put it into writing. If any de cline then, quit or be cheated. Though you want a job ever so much, make all sure at the onset ; and in all cases at all doubtful make sure of a guarantee. Re not afraid to ask it ; it is the best of re sponsibility, for, if offence be taken, you have escaped a loss. An Inconvenient Witness. A lawyer sometimes picks up a wit ness that he Is quite willing to drop as soon as possible, as witness the follow ing: A Mr. Lawrence was on the stand in Milwaukee during the trial of Russell Wheeler for murder, and said that he knew the prisoner well and knew him to be a peaceable, law-abiding citizen. When cross-examined by the district attorney, the following colloquy took place : " You have testified, Mr. Lawrence, that you consider the defendent a law abiding citizen." " I have, and I do so consider him," replied MrL. " You know he has been a gambler?" asked the attorney. " I know he has." " Do you consider It exactly proper to call a professional gambler a law-abiding citizen V" . "Oh yes," replied the witness, "so long as the district attorney allows gambling to be carried on in the city without restraint of, or punishment by law, I consider it perfectly proper to des cribe a professional gambler as a law abiding cltizeu." When the laugh bad subsided the dis trict attorney blushed "loudly" and said to the witness " that is all."
