Some case was on trial, and he gave per- ctioas to find for the iff jury came out and presented a verdict that was contrary jto the court's instructions and ex- | ions, and the judge was about dest man I ever saw, He them back to formulate an- other verdict, and the jury, bless you, came out and handed over a verdict for the defendant, informing the court, through one .of the jurymen, that it © tiously find as he had instructed. Col. John C Noble was on the jury, I remember.” “T never beard of juries fixing punishment until 1 came to Ken- tucky,’” observed Capt. T. J. Moore, or, rather, I never lived in # state before where the practice was in vogue. Down in Carolina, [ remem- ber once a wan stole our cow. He was caught, imprisoned and tried. The jury was out but a short time, returning a verdict of guilty, and fixing the punishment of the prisoner at three years. ‘You have usurped my prerogative—you have no right to do that,’ angrily reprimanded the judge. ‘I want you to understand that J am the one to fix punishments. You are simply to decide whether the man is guilty or innocent. Now, you go back and bring in the proper kind of verdict!” ‘Well, the jury retired and in a abort time came back with a verdict of not guilty, and the man who stole our cow went free.’’ iid not conse “Speaking about appendicitis, un- usual things, herwite,’’ re- flected a Broad insurance man yesterday, as he puffed wreaths of smoke through his fingers, ‘'a strange case came under my observation not long ago. 1 don't say in Paducab, however.

He knew that the opera- | tion might kill him, and on the other hand he knew that Le’d die anyhow, the operation was successfal ither case his insurance would go but he wanted to live. He conclu he could secure the | est surgical results by producing the almighty dollar in suflicient numbers, so he sent for the of the com- pany in which be had a policy and Jiaid the case before bim, ‘You've got $2,( stak’,’ he said to the agent, ‘and I've got my life.

He {tora me the other day that he wasn’t jearrying any insurance, but was mak- jing arrangements to take out a new policy. Rufus Bronson is the name of a colored express driver who may be seen about market square most any time in the day. Rufus doesn’t like this idea of havinga humane society. Tne horse he drives to his wagon has evidently seen better days, and is evi- dently looking forward to better days, when he dies and finds eternal rest, but in the meantime he fluds it un- pleasant work drawing an’ express wagon all over town. The reason Rufus objects to a humame society, however, that it will ruin his busi- ness, ‘Now jes’ look at dat black deb bi!,” observed the driver yesterday, pointing tohis horse, **Yistedday I gits a load, A man hi’es me to fetch 206 South Third street. “An! its de trut, bos got so I cayn’t pags de city hall t’all wid dat animale.

The captain told me he didn’t spend $1.50 all the way from Evansville to Padu- cah.’” The above words were spoken half in jest,but unfortunately they contain 9 great deal of truth. People are too prone to hero wors}ip—not that Ber- ry was any hero—and this induces shrewd and dishonest people to pose as heroes, or something similar, in order to get advantage of the unsus- pecting *‘worshippers.’”’ Some time since a man went to Mayfield with a crowd of railroad magnates. He claimed to be a millionaire from London, descended from nobility. He attracted more attention there than Berry, the tramp, did here, and turned out to be a worse fraud—be- cause he didn't die, Repeatedly ac- counts are read in the newspapers where men beat hotel bills by ingrati- ating themselves into the trust and goodwill of hotel men by claiming to be somebody they are not. If there were not so many suckers there would not be so much of that ‘man’s inlu- manity to wan,”’ ae . The Ilinois Central is having con-{ siderable trouble with its over the | river (rains, on account of the man- | ner of transferring them. In hot weather the river is often so low that the transfer boat can hardly run, and in cold weather and spring she can hardly make her trips on acccunt of high water and high winds, Several days ago the cradles were washed away from the incline, and to replace them cost the company about $1000 and nearly two days’ delay. Yester- day the boat could not ran on ac- count of the wind, and as a result there were no trains to or from $ Louis. The Llinois Central likely can’t stand this, The moral is,there is increasing demand here for av over-the-river bridge. A silly boy working for Guy Kich- enberg, at his restaurant, in the ca- pacity of waiter, attempted to com- mit suicide yesterday in a novel way, says the Cairo Argus, He had no reason for the act, that nobody knows of. He had a certainty of a good maintenance, as far as board and clothes go, and that is about alla millionaire gets out of this world, His method of shuffling off this mor- tal coil was novel, He soaked the brimstone and other ingredients off the ends of parlor matches until he thought he had a dose that would kil) him, then drank it. He was found in his room in a bad shape, ready to die; but Dr, Stevenson took hold of him, pumped him out and sent him to St. Mary’s Intirmary. The prospect is that he will live. His name is Mal. Haythorne. He came here from Elizabethtown, Hardin out a piece o° po’k, an’ I draps it in de waggon an’ sta’ts de hoss, He trots long patty pea’t ontil he sees a p’liceman, an’ den he stops rat still, an’ luoks back at me an’ den at de p’liceman, Le knows I’se afred to beat im wif dat cop clos’ by, an’ vo sah! weu'dn’ budge, I neva did git de meat da’ in time fo’ dinnah, county, Ill., about five months ago.
