Astoria, Oregon, Thursday Morning, December 21, 1881 No. 69. ft:- - mmlo 3Ui WZMIIIKG BJT A PAKTOMIME How a Young Lawyer Vanquished a Famous Antagonist. The attorney at the date of the story, -was serving the common wealth of Ohio and the county of Vinton in the capacity of prose cuting attorney at the little town of McArthur. He then bore rath er a youthful and possibly some what verdant appearance for a man holding so respectable a po sition. The most conspicuous per son known to the Vinton bar at that time was a grave and pomp ous barrister from a neighboring town a man who had reached the middle age of life, and with an ex tensive., practice, profitable alike in fame and pecuniary gain; a man whose eloquence bent juries to his will, and whose logic pinned them fast; whose invective and pointed sarcasm blanched the cheek of the witness or the pris oner, as might be necessary to gain the case, and was alike dread ed and hated by his fellow prac titioners. The attorney referred to is lining yet, one of the most prominent jurists in southern Ohio. His ability has not diminished, nor has his knowledge that he pos sesses ability. One day, the young prosecutor had a riot case to try, and, to his consternation, he . learned that the gentleman re ferred to had been retained by the defense. The prosecutor handled the case with great care, but from the first did not hope to convict the prisoner. He was stirred up uomewhat, however, by the sneer ing allusions made to him during the examination, by the imported counsel, and so, when he came to make his opening speech, he in dulged a little in bombast himself. He expected to be torn up some what by the imported counsel, but was utterly unprepared for the si moon that swept through the court room when the imported counsel got fairly under way. He paced up and down in front of the judge; he sawed tne air in front of the jurors; he shook his finger in the face of the young prosecutor and shivered in imaginary horror at the thought of so youthful a youth un dertaking to measure swords with him. The voice was loud and bit ter in its denunciations; the ges ticulations were violent and de monstrative; the manner threat ening and awe-inspiring, and with a face of scorn, he sat down with folded arms and awaited tbj ver dict which he supposed they dare not refuse to render. The young prosecutor was mad. He felt he would like to thrash the import ed counsel out of his boots. He arose to his feet, uncertain for a moment what to do. A happy thought struck him, and throwing his head back, he cast his left arm behind him and thrust his right arm in the breastof his vest, while under over-arching eyebrows he scowled out at the jury. The jury "drop ped on it" in an instant. So did the judge, so. did the spectators. There-was the familiar pose of the imported counsel, perfect in its imitation. Then the young prose cutor began, and, without opening his lips, proceeded to copy the gesticulations and movements of the eminent attoney who had preceded him. He snorted and cavorted, and stamped, and rolled his eyes. He strode up and down in front of the judge and jury, following, in his gesticulations, precisely those of which they had just seen the copy. He shook his finger menacingly under the nose of the eminent gentleman, and then, assuming the statesman-like pose, he looked down upon him disdainfully. Then he would stop and twirl on his finger a martin gale ring, which he had drawn frotm his pocket, and which was in tended tc represent the large seal nag on the small finger of the left head of the opposing counsel. It was too much. The eminent at torney appealed to the court for protectioa,while the judge laughed aatU the tears rolled down his cheeks, and the jury and specta tors cJwekled audibly. The judge replied, that the young man had aotaiaf , had said nothing te him, and he did not feel called upon to interfere with the argu ment. That settled it. The im ported connsel broke for the door, and the jury, after a fifteen min utes' absence, brought in a verdict of guilty. Columbus Times. Shams in Jewlry. The recent experiment of a London lady of rank tho wished to sell some jewelry goes to show that the shams arc not newer than other things under the sun. Re garding what were supposed to be splendid rubies, the jeweller said: "They are certainly very showy, madam, but unfortunately only clever imitations in glass." The lady, much chargrined, then called attention to the heavy set ting, to which the jeweler replied, after the usual tests: "The set ting is only gilt!" Another article produced for appraisement was a superb bracelet, thegiftof aConti ncntal sovereign to the wife of a distinguished diplomatist. The skilful manufacture and specific gravity of the splendid object had been extrolled for generations in the family of the possessor, and so highly was it prized that it was invariably sent to the bankers whenever the family went out of town. The jeweller scrutinized it carefully and pronounced it to be extremely heavy; "but," he added, "if you will allow me, madam, to raise the very thin plate, I shall be able to show you that the bracelet is filled with lead!" Yet it is quite possible that the original purchaser of these articles believed them to be genuine, and tu(. for them as such. A few years ago an English gentleman took a bracelet to a leading provincial English jeweller to have the clasp mended. The jeweller looked at the stone carefullj-, and then said: "You are aware that this is not genuine!" "Not genuine!" ex claimed the gentleman, "you must he mistaken. This was given to my wife on her marriage by my uncle, the last man in the world to give sham jewelry." But the jeweller, an eminent man in his line, persisting, the donor was in formed. ,He wrote back that it had cost him $500 and ordered that it at once be sent to him; and taking it to Messrs. , a firm of the first eminence, indignantly stated his case. It was sham. They offered a check at once, or a new bracelet, and seemed terribly chargrined. Their explanation was, that, do what they would, they were at times the victim of their workmen, who substituted admirably made bogus gems for real ones. Probably scores of people have jewely thought to be real, which in truth is not so. The JSuns "Washington special says: Congressmen who have returned to Washington report a remarkably strong feeling among the people in their districts in favor of the nomination of Secre tary Lincoln for president in 1881. This sentiment is said to be con fined to no section. In fact, it is less strong in Illinois than else where. In Michigan, in Iowa and in some parts of New England the report is brought that the party not only regards Lincoln as an inevitable candidate, but also as the most available one. "It is .re ported that President Arthur has bjpen for some time of the opinion that Lincoln was the most avail able candidate. Besides, the nomination of Lincoln would not be without credit to the present administration, especially as it is pretty well understood that Arthur has no idea of being his own suc cessor. He is reported as being quite ready to help Lincoln. Miss Clara Alcott, of Mahwah, Bergen County, N. J., says: I bruised my limb and it became greatly swollen and stiff.

Comparisons What strange similes people do make use of, to be sure! They say that a thing is as black as the ace of spades, when their compari son would be much stronger did they say as black as the ten of spades, which is ten times blacker than the ace. A man tells you that he has been working all day like a dog, when you know and he knows that a dog doesn't work at all.. He tells you that the sky last evening was as black as ink, leav ing your mind in a state of un uncerrainty whether the sky was blue or red, either of which it might have been according to his simile. Then he tells you that so-and-so is as mad as a hatter, as though hatters were more prone to anger than the average human. When he says that somebody has been acting like sixty, however, you know that he is only speaking figuratively, and of course nobody can take exception to that. JBoston Transcript. An account is given in English journals of the performance of a locomotive on the Great Northern railroad, which recently carried the Duke of Edinburgh from Leeds to London, 186? miles, in three hours, or at the rate of sixty-two miles per hour. This speed has ' frequently been equaled and some times surpassed for short distances. The engine had drhing wheels eight feet in diameter, or two feet larger than American engines.

A railroad engineer has arrived in Independence, Cal., and will, daring the next few weeks, examine the country south and east of Invo and Owen's lake for the purpose of surveying a lino of railroad which, rumor says, will be a part of Jay Gould's new scheme of forming an independent western line to the Pacific ocean for the terminus of the Union Pacific railroad at Ogden. From that point one of the roads run southward to Salt Lake City. Under practically the same management is the Salt Lake and Western line a standard broad gauge which is now completed eighty-five miles southwesterly to Tintic valley. SYMPTOMS OF WORMS.
