The senator never would have mace them if ha had been a Democrat. His motive was not so patri otic as it was partisan, but maybe, the inves tigation of the charges against the two ludgra will do good lathe long run. They havpbeen acquitted,' as, they, should have been, but Bt ill they will no doubt bo moro prudent . and circumspect in the future. There was sufficient evidence to humiliate anv sensitive man, and no doubt these men feel It so, and will hardly claim it as a very triumphant aoquittal.

On Friday the ringleader was put on trial. The judge and solicitor felt abso lutely Bure of convicting him. It was candle-light when the judge closed his chares to the jurv, and an expressed pity for the people of Dallas, upon whom seven of these lawless rioters had already been turned loose. Finally he told the jury he was not well, and if they found a epeedy verdict the foreman could bring It to. his room at the hotel. "When court adjourned the lawyers got together and chuckled. It was not the same jury, but the cards were still stocked, and so about 9 o clock the foreman came to the hotel and knocked at the judges door. ,- "What fs it?" said the judge.

It required something mere tnan politic to make a man a juage m to m" time. In the. old Athens circuit wp had such great men as old Tom Harris, Charles Dougherty, Augustine: Clayton and Junius Hiliyer upon the bench. They were all clas sic scholars, and knew the difference between "nolens volens" and "bolus noxious gen nine Latin and dog Latin. They understood law as a science and had mastered ltafunda--.a' r-:"-.-iir. !oaday- rnanvoi our udees" wao avc been made fat of scheming poliu ia., are nothing but case lawyers.

Judge Underwood, of the Borne oireuit, was a great lawyer a lawyer by intuition as well otinn n-nrl nnthine irritated him more than the long continued reading of cases and authorities. He knew the law, and could have made it, and did not have to v. T wniftniher when a case law- fnll of books brcrught into court and began to make an ostentatious array of them on the long taole before him. I looked up at the judge and perceived his disgust.

This fact suggested to Mr Anted, a few years ago, the Idea of attempting 'to cultivate mushrooms' for the market In the abandoned gal leries of the old mines. His first Attempts were discouraging, but after several years' work, and the expenditure of much money, he has brought his odd garden to a paying 'condition. He israble to place several hundred pounds of plants on the mar 'ket each wek, and readily secures 40 cents a pound for the whole crop.
