Old Judge L—+, who was for years the cir- cuit judge of that portion of Louisiana known as pee poe —— justly enna ed his legal learning, and was greatly belov: bis neighbors friends. He was stern, up- right and honest; and the death of the good old man, which occurred some years ago, was universally r ted throughout the State. But with all his book lore and legal attain- ments, he was perhaps the greenest man at ecards in his entire circuit. [t bas been said that be did not know the “Jack of Trumps” from a diamond. In the village of Opelousas, as three individuals were sitting round a table, in one of those doggeries ‘+ with a billiard table attached, which are so common in the creole parishes, playing a small game of three-banded poker, when @ quarrel ensued, which resulted In an vated case of assault and battery. ibis did uot end the affair; for at the next term ot the cireuit court, at the bead of the docket stood © The State of Louisiana vs. Jubn Allen, for a-sault and battery, with intent to kill, on the body of Enos Griggs The trial came on, and the only witness to the affray was a Captain Johnson, who was the third band ia the game. Jobnson was the stip- per of one of those crafts which transport sugar trom that scetion of the country to New Orleans. and was a self-confident, go-ahead fellow, and was as undaunted before the judge and jury as he would e been before the crew of his own little eraft. After being sworn, he was directed to tell the court and jury everything he kuew about the affair. After clearing his throat, he commenced by stating “ that him and Griggs and Jobn Allen were over at Boullet’s grocery, the second day of the election, when Allen pro- posed that they should have a small game of poker; all agreed to it. and we went up stairs and sat down to the game; did not know that there was any /ursh feelings between Griggs and Allen, or I wouldn't a played, but heard afterwards’” Here the witness was interrupted by the court, who directed him tokeep all hearsays to bimself and confine himself strictly to the facts of the case. The witness continued—“ Well, we sat down to the table—Griggs sot there, John Allen here, aud [ there (making a diagram on the clerk’ table in order to elucidate the position of the eine ) John Allen dealt the carda, I went vlind, Griggs he went blind and John Allen wouldn't see him Tie judge, who was a little deaf, was in the habit of making an eartrumpet of his hand for the purpose of sharpening his hearing, and throwing his head a little forward and side- ways, interrupted the witness by asking him. * what was the reason that John Allen didn't see Griggs? The witness replied. ‘I don't know, but he wouldn't look at him ” ~ Proceed ’’ says the judge “ Well, I saw him and he saw, and just at that minute—”’ “ Swp, sir,” says the judge, throwing him- self into a hearing attitude, ‘did I understand you to say that you went 5/ind 7””” ~ Yes, sir!

Mr. Clerk, fine the wituess fifty dollars for contempt of court, and direet the sheriff to take bim to jail, and there to keep him until he receives further or- ders from the court Mr. Clerk.”” Capt. Johnson was dumbfounded, and did not awake to the reslity of his condition antil the sheriff laid his bunds on him, when he ex- claimed * God a’ mighty, Mr. Judge, what Lave I done, that I must go to jail” The judge who was purple with rage, did not deign to reply to poor Juhason, but reiterated the order with imereased vebemence. and the jusior members at the bar, whu had been antici- pating the fr that the captain Would eventally be placed in, were convulsed laughter, which increased the rage of the old jude tu the high- est piteb. The prosecuting atiorney enden- vored to enlighten the jadge, sad eventnally sueceeded, bat net until he bad produced a pack of cards, and after dealing out three ands, made the J/ed ua clear as day to the jadge ‘The fine and imprisonment were remitted, order was resamed in the court. and Captain Jobnson was allowed to proceed with his testi- mony Call up the next case, a oS oe G97 A recent foreign arrival brought us the intelligence that the great English millionsire, Morrison, worth twenty miflions of dullars. had died. The following extract from a letter in the Boston Post shows how little benefit he per- witted bimzelf to receive from all bis wealth : “Mr. Morrison retired from sctive business several years since, without withdrawing bis capital from the mercantile house. and though managing his vast funds himself up to the time ot bis death with all the sagacity of earlier days, he has for the last three years been sessed with the idea that he should come to want. More than two years ago he commenced doing day labor upon a farm held by one of his teuants, for whieh he received twelve shillings a week, and this be continued up to the time of his illness. For the lust eighteen months he has been a regular applicant for relief to the parish. assembling twice a week with the town paupers at the door of the ‘Union,’ and receiv- ing with each one of them bis two shillings and a quarter loaf.
