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. A phy
sician treated it without any bene
fit. Procured a bottle of St. Ja
cobs Oil which cured me. It act
ed like magic.

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.
