A GOOD STORY. How he Got His wagon back. Inthe vilhage ot W. lived man who had once been jugde of the county, and was known all over the county as Judge L. He kept a store and saw mill, and was always sure to have the,best ot. a bargain on | his side, by which means he had gained an ample competency, and did not hesitate to call him biggest rascal in the world.’’ He was very conceited withall, and used to delight to brag of his business ca- pacity whenever any one was near to isten. One rainy day as quite a number was seated around the stove in the store, he began as usual to tell of his great bargains, and at last wound up with the expression, *‘No- body has ever cheated me, nor they can’t neither.’’ “‘Judge,’’ said an old man of the company, ‘‘I’ve cheated you mor’n you ever did me.”’ «How so?’’asked the Judge. If you’! promise you wont go to law about it, nor do nothing, T’ll tell you, or I won’t; you are too much of a law character for me.’’ **Let’s hear! let’s hear cried half a dozen voices. “T’ll promise,’’ said the “and treat in the bargain. ’” ‘Well, do you remember that wag- on you robbed me out of ?”? “I never robbed you ofany wag- on,” exclaimed the Judge; ‘‘I only got the best ot the bargain-’’ “Well, Imade up my mind to have it back,and—’’ ‘You never did,’’ interrupted the cute Judge. “Well you see, Judge, I sold you one day a very mce pine log, and bargained with you for a lot more. Well, that log I stole off your pile, down by your mill the might before and the next day I sold it to you, that night I drew it back home, and sold it to you the next day; andso I kept on until you bought your own log of me twenty seven times.’” “That is false exclaimed the infur- iated Judge, renning to his books and examing his log accounts ; ‘*You never sold us twenty seven logs of the same measurement.’’ “TI know it,’’ said the vender in a Judge, ail somebody $50,000 tor his ‘the | | Republican politics in Ohio has , degenerated into accusations against Judge Hoapty, who, they say, paid nomina- | tion.

Springfield Herald: The piece ot the Lyon Monument placed in position yesterday, and the beautiful structure is now one of the permanent fixtures and ornamenta- tions of the city. All day a large crowd of people surrounded the workmen, and as each peice was given its position the thing ot beauty sumed pro portions which make ita joy forever. The monument stands about eighteen teet above the sur- face of the ground. The base is of red Missouri granite. upon which is a marble base on the face of which the word ‘‘Lyon,’”’ in prominet _let- ters, is plainly seen. Upon this in successson appea.s die, base, plinth, ect., the whole surmounted by a del- icately wrought battle-axe and_hel- met. The structure taces east upon which side the inscription: ‘*Erect- ed by the Citizens of Springfield to the Memory of General Nathaniel Lyon, who fellin the Battle of Wil- son Creek, while in Command of the Union Army, August 10, 1861.’ Beneath the inscriptions may be seen two beautiful carved cannons. On the west side appears the follow- ing very appropriate sentiment: ‘Tho’ he died tor his country, yet he lives in the hearts of his country- men; though he fell 1n war, in peace last was Boss Liveryman: Has opened a One block west of | joplin & K.C.
