No one here has doubted them," answered the Court, as ho took oft his spectacles. "Hut the officer interrupted me just as 1 was about to finish my argument and east mo into a vile dungeon," in dignantly added the prisoner. "He says that you were drunk, and that you kieked a banana peddler in the shins," said the Court. 1 deny the allegation!" "And. of course, you defy tho alloca tor?" observed the Court. "I do, sir; inot emphatically! Why Fir, I was not drunk! Whenever I speak of the oppressing greed of capi tal as oppoed to tho rights of the laborer, my blood begins to boil, and my feelings carry nio away! Capital, sir, is a monster that will yet destroy labor unless the hitler organizes, and hurls back the (Moulds and Vanderbilts Willi their bloated millions, and " "Hold on my friend!" interrupted I lie court. Hut'tho man at the bar was excited and Hinging his arms around wildly yelled: "Down with organized capital; down with the vampires who live oil' the earnings of the laboring man!" "Exactly, sir, 1 adiniro your lan guage," said the judge', "and also the sentiments contained in it." "I am filled with tho wrongs of tho laborer!" "1 am forced to say that from tho nflidavit it appears that yesterday you were- lilled with soul destroying liquor." "It was tho excitement of tho occa sion!" "The allidavit further savs you broke a window in a saloon!" I was gesturing. !" I'reeiselv!

We working- men have undeniable rights which even policemen must respect. 1 spared him! because he represented tho law. could have crushed Jiini !" See here, mv friend! You have been howling about workingnien's rights for some time. What do von do for a living?" "J I I that is you seo " "Out with it, sir!" "Well I ain't employed hist now. I have been unfortunate!" How long have yon been er unfor tunate?" iveii, lei ine see. in Joi 1 hail the rheumatiz for eleven months. In 18 So Ihe dumb ague tackled me, and never let go for ten months.

The court put on its spectacles, and nfter liguring a minute with his pencil, softly remarked: After mature deliberation I am forced to the conclusion that von aro a bum." Me, sir? I urn a Knight of Labor." "You are a fraud! You aro a Knight of Loaf! And I am going to put vou to work!" Don't do it.", "What, put you to work?" "Xo, I nieanl- don't send me up?" "Fall baek, you labor champion, and asle Ihe sweet fruits of hard labor on the rock pile." "You aro in league with tho monop olies! You are opposed to labor as against capital!" "I am opposed to loafers. Fall back nnd wait for tho chariot that will con vey you to the Home for Snide Labor Agitators! I'll have you boycotted." Too late, sir.

If was learned that lie hiid been engaged in a number of very quest ionablo trans actions, among winch was tho charge of trying to mutate another man's sig nature.

In that caso I suppose all the claims against Thomas whom a criminal prosecution could be brought will be set thiil up ami the exile will find it safe to return.

"I believe ho has passed most of his cxilo in Italy, but he has been roaming all over Europe. A groat effort was made to persuade President Autliur to give Ferry the Russian mission just af ter tho death of Minister Hunt, but Mr. Arthur concluded that it was not best to appoint a man who could not visit his own country to present his applica tion. Senator Conger made tho effort, I believe, out of Charity. "It's a little bit singular that a man who served eighteen years in tho sen ate six years as president pro tem pore of that body, acting vice president, and acting president for a day, on tho Sunday Grant's Intervening between Gon. s retirement and President Hayes' inauguration- -should find him self an exilo from his own country and a fugitive from justice.

BLACKLISTED. Or! . en Prom IMnco to Place An Iti- eldeiit of linnieloBs- Dls e limliiiitloii. A robbery had been committed, man almost ragged was arrested one of those shrewd detectives against whoso piercing gaze sheet iron cannot successfully stand. When tho man was taken into court for preliminary trial, it was easy enough to suspect him, for having been accused of a crime, ho seemed to sink under a weight of guilt. The magistrate, addressing tho prison er, asked a few questions and then, turning to the detective who had made tho arrest ho inquired: "What caused you to suspect this man?" "Well, your honor, he happened hero a few days before tho robbery was committed and being of suspicious appearance I watched him. I asked him his name and lie said it was Rarnes. but shortly afterward 1 heard that his name was Powell. I lost sight of him on the night of the robbery, but early next morning 1 .saw him trying to sneak out of town, so I thought that lie. ought to be arrested." "1 think, replied tho magistrate, "that vou acted rightly in making tlio arrest. Isow. turning to the prisoner, "can you explain vour conduct and es pecially can you explain why you go under two ii'imosi' ' ".Judge, first let me explain why nave two names ami mat, will explain my conduct. I nder.sland, now, that I .i . ...a ... no not, oeg ior mercy, mat timo is past. 1 am now hardened. I will not detain you lonir. but 1 ask vou and this is ail I do ask--to believe me. Two years ago I was the master mechanic in a large railway machine shop. I re ceived good wages and my family, con sisting of a wife and two children, lived as well as any family in town. 1 was most happily married, and sometimes at evening, when my little boy climbed up and begged mo to tell him just one, story, 1 wondered if such happiness could last. "One day I was discharged. I was never moro astonished in my life. I humbly asked the cause of my dismiss al and was grullly told that it was be cause 1 was not wanted any longer. They should have given mo notice, still I did not complain as I recognized their right to employ whom they pleased. hen 1 wont home and told my wife that 1 had been discharged, she put her arms around my neck ami said: 'Never mind, dear, you can soon ret another place.' The very next day I started out in search of work. I had spoilt mv 1 fo in machine shops and could do no other kind of work. 1 went to a town not ti great distance away from mv homo and applied for work. " l holiovo we aro needing a man. said tho superintendent. 'What is your namo?' " '.John Powell,' I replied. "Ho went into an inner oflico and after remaining a few momenta ho re turned and said: 'No, wo don't want you.' "Uy this time my money was nearly gone but I had not tho heart to wrlto ionic for moro for I had left hut onotiL'h all I had to sustain my family a few wccks. i went to another town, cor- 1.J..JI-1. ...-1f.il 1 M mm i mu i siiouin oimun worK, lor ono of tlie machine shops in the nlacn had ulvcrtisud for men. Tho head man iskod mo my name and then, pointing to a honch, told mo to sit, down and wait until ho eanie back. Ho was not gone long. When he returned ho said: " 'JJon l want you. "'My dear sir.' I ronlied. 'I am a skillful workman and only ask you for a trial. Then if 1113' work don't suit you, I'll leavo. '1 oil II leave anyway,' ho replied as ho turned away. "ly this time my money was exhaust ed, but 1 could not stop I must push my way onward. I wrote to my wife. telling her that I had not succeeded in gotting work but that I thought my prospects were good. I told her to write to me, giving as my address a dis tant town. 1 had hoped to get over tho road but failed. I know why. A promi nent railroad ollicial told tho engineers not to let 1110 ride. After walking many weary miles I reached the town and applied for work. ' 'Wo don't want you,' said tho superintendent. " 'Why?' I demanded. "Uecauso you aro blacklisted. " 'My God, man, what have I done?' "'I don't know and I don't caro a damn, but you aro blacklisted.' "I went to thopostolllco. I found a letter addressed in an unfamiliar hand. 1 was disappointed. I had hoped to re ceive a letter from my wife. I tore open tho envelope. Hero Is tho letter. Uend it. judge." Tho justice read as follows: "It is my painful duty to write this. Your wife, having greatly exposed herself in moving from the hcAiso which belonged lo a railroad ollicial -r-sho had to move contracted n sovem cold and died of pneumonia. Your littlo children are at my house." "That is tho letter I iccoived, judge. .Several weeks ago I heard that my littlo boy was dangerously ill not expected to live. I tlraggod myself to this town, wheero 1 learned that my little girl and the boy, upon whom I had centered my hopes, had died of diphtheria. I could do nothing. I was crushed with grief broken down with despair. Then I changed my name so that I might earn money enough to take me to the graves of my wlfo and children. 1 (lid not commit the robbery. 1 want no lawyer. I leave It with you. As I previously remarked I ask for no mercy. 1 am in your power. Use me as yon will.' The old magistrate - a man who had spent hi early days at the anvil arose, approached the prisoner, pressed some thing into his hand and said: "(Sod knows that my heart bleeds for you. When you stand over the graves of your wife and children, remember nn old man who has seen his last loved-ono buried." Arkanmw Traveler. San Francisco Stock-Gambling. 1 am confident that tho ronianco of stock-gambling will never be written, writes a San Francisco correspondent of The Sacramento lice. Life hero is too rapid, too pushing for men to pause and reflect on that curious "has been" of San Francisco. But I never stroll down Pine street, or linger in the shad ows of Pauper alloy, but I meet sonic one who would bo entitled to a place in that unwritten romance Tho tall fig ure, a faco clean cut and rofincd, gait slow and painful from tho effect of an old wound, is beforo me as I write, i anies i). aiuor ten years ago was a member of tho bonanza firm, and his check was good for 500,000, aye, or !?1, 000.000, at any bank in the country. Then Flood and Fair bought him out, and Walker opened a broker's ollico under the Nevada bank, and did all tho business of his former partners. In these times Flood, Fair, and Mackey were on tlio top notch of speculation. They were swinging tho market at their own swcot will, and making or break ing the thousands who were buttling with tlio lierco tide of stock-gambling. Alexander Austin, or "Sandy," as his feiends used to call him, had Just served his term as tax: collector, and went in with Walker. How they did mako tilings boom! The high-salaried clerks tlio book-keeper got SI00 a month, and had a sumptuous lunch served ev ery day in a largo room in tho roar of tlio ollico nt tho exponso of tho firm. Their expenses were enormous, but so was their business. Tho partners were clearing $20,000 a month, but they were standing on tlio brink of a preci pice. Flood romarked that other and outsido brokers were manip ulating certain stock precisely as his own brokers. This would never do, so ho called a consultation, and in formed tlio Walker firm that sort of thing would not do, that there was a traitor in tlio camp somewhere, anil that, unless he was detected and lircd, their relations could not continue Closo and earnest investigation was made, but without avail. Then came a transaction of more than ordinary im portance, but to the intense disgust of tho bonanza llrm. it was apparently foreseen nnd anticipated by these same outsido brokers, kept posted, apparent ly, by some traitor in tho Walker-Austin camp. Then the bonanza peoplo changed their broker, and from that hour tho fortunes of Walker & Co., be gan to decline Matters grew woro and worse Austin committed suicide Walker sold a magnificent mansion in Oakland which cost him closo on $.r)00, 000, to prop up tlie waning glory of the swell firm. At last it was a clean caso of bust, and I don't believe Mr. Walker to-day could put his hand on 200. I saw him looking wistfully at tho Nevada imnK uiiiiiiing, prouaDly comparing tho different stales of Flood, the member. and Walker, tho oxniember, of tho bonanza firm. Ho discovered, when too late, that tho high-priced book-keeper was tno traitor, no sold lilsomplojors, bul no luck ever came of his treachery, and ho is to day keeping hooks at $.30 a month for a Ilobrow clothes-dealer in Portland, Ore Walker is but a type of hundreds of others who have had their chance and their day on Pine street. With a strange fatuity thoso wrecks still cling to tho locality wlioro they mado and lost fortunes in tho past, though niuo teiiths of them have not a dime to speculate with, and could not get credit for a glass of lager, when their names a decade ago were sufficient guarantee for a dozen or iifty dozen cases of chamuagne. A few have pulled out with a small stake, and there aro somo thcro ou tho streot yot who havo a littlo money, and would speculate if they saw an opening, and not a fow fanatics who await the coming of tho Messiah -'the discovery of anotlier groat bonanza. Tho Other Court, "I beliovo that n man should love his wlfo just as much after niarriago as ho did before," said an elderly lady to a gentleman acquaintance who was not on intimate terms with his own wife. "I do too," replied the gentleman, "if she is worthy of it." "Then why do you not practico what you preach," replied tho lady, your wife is a most estimable woman, and you should court her as much now, as you did prior to your marriage" "Well, butltlo," said tho gentleman. "Your actions hollo your words." "You ntisconstru mo, madanie. I do Court her now more than over. I am trying to get a divorce from her." National Weekly. lloth Kitten.
