Good Results From a Dolicata and Costly Operation. An Irishwoman who owns a lit tle (stationery shop in tlio tipper part of Manhattan frequently stir prices customers with whom fIio fulls into conversation over tlio counter by asking: "Which of my eyes do you think is the blind one?" The customer invariably exclaims that surely it is not possible that either eye is blind, for both arc dark blue, sparkling and seem just the fame. The shopkeeper, howev er, proceeds with the information that the left eyo is quite without sight. "Tlml's my tattooed eve," she ex plains proudly. "It co.t $l,000.f I didn't pav for it, of course. A rich lady had It done for mo. "Von never heard of a tattooed eye? Shun.1, 1 never did mysolf until I chiiic to Imving one.

The early history of tho juris prudence of 'Michigan, if faithfully chronicled, would furnish forth an cnlcrliiinment abounding with tho soul and point of humor. Many of theso little legends yet float around tho scenes which have given birth to them and serve sometimes to rivo zest to a bar dinner or to en liven a bar meeting. Among them is the following: Judge H., a plain and worthy man, but no lawyer, was onco coun ly judge of Oakland under the old system. A ca.o came on for trial before him on one occasion in which the action was founded in tort and tho plea of the defendant, which was special, was such as to give him the ulllrinutivo oPlho is sue, upon tho "trength of which ho claimed tho right to open and eloso the case. Tins point was denied by the counsel for the plaintiir, "who never in tl v wholo course of his practice had hi'Mid of such an euor mity as the ili fi'iidant's presuming to open the case." Authorities wero brought and cited, however, and tho judge, after mature consideration, determined that sueli was the do fondant's right nnd so pronounced his decision. After a idiort pittiFC, during which the planum was grumbling his dissali'faetinn, the court told the defendant's lawyor to go on. "lour honor, said he, rising, "I am not quite n udy to open the case. When I get rou.lv I will let the otlt- or side knowl" This opened, if not the ease, at hast the eves and mouth of the other side, who sprang to his feel an l bellowed forth do- utiiiciatioii upon the sttitudity of the Judge, whose absurd decision had placed him in such a dilemma. "You see, your honor, wlmt you have done. You havo actually placed the ctt in the hands of the defendant, lb took possession of our oxen, and when we brought an tut ion to roi'o'T them lie took poi- session of that nbn." "I can't help it, sir," said lie learned judge, with great slernnes- "I he decision H made, and ft i- too late to alter it. I'lie law must t ike its course. You must withdraw wtor action and suo again." "If he does, war honor, said tho defendants counsel, "I shall plead the iHUideuov i this action In bar and beat him." "Then, Mr. Miid the judge, "I see no other wav for you hut to -it down quietly and wall till Hie id reriilant gets readv to try this cafe. " The tdaintiir took the juduu's advici), but the "time appointed ha inner elatsed, and he is waiting yet. Philadelphia Mir tli American. A Ourprliod Preacher.
