Scene A Store in Broadway, New York; near Warren street A Red Flag hanging at the Door. A green horn named Mr. Jones, from Hartford, is stopped whili? careering down Broad way by the sound of a stentorian voice from within crying going.' He hears llie whack of the auctioneer's mallet, and sees six gentlemen standing around a table. . . 'Things are selling mighty cheap in there,' says he, and goes in. Peter Funk holds a piece of linen in his hand, and is jnst on the point of knocking it down at six cents a yard 55 1-2 yards, going at six cents! an awful sacrifice !' 1 Seven,' says Jones. Kight,' says Stool Pigeon. 1 Nine,' says Jones. Whack goes the mallet. Sold,' says Peter. Mr. Jones 55 1-2 yards of linen, at CO cents,' touching lightly on the 50. The attentive clerk beckons (o Jones, who steps back behind a mysteriotjs desk, with a screen in front. OIrk be gins lo make out the bill, while Jones Jays down a five dollar Dank note to pay for the linen ; the money goes into the drawer. Clerk hands Jones the bill, which reads thus : Mr. Jones bought of Peter Funk 55 1-2 yards of Irish Iineji, at 59 cent? per ya id $32 74.' Jones opens his eyes ; clerk points to the sum, and hold out his right hand, with the remark : Halance, $27.74.' Jones opens his mouth and essays to speak, but is dumb-founded; he has hcaru of these pesky mock auctions, but never dreamed that he should eve blunder into one in so respectable a place as Droadway. Mr. Jones ruminates, and pinches himself to see if he is dream ing ; he is awake he is in New York liroadway. But Mr. Jones, though green, lias presence of mind ; he forks over the balance demanded, takes his linen under his arm, and gaps at the auctioneer until that functionary gets nervous and announces that the sale is adjourned for the day. Mr. Jones, ac cordingly, to prevent being housed with the precious scamps, steps out and trav els towarJs the Tombs, where he finds a Metropolitan policeman, and tells his tale of woe. In a few moments the swindling shop and the inmates, which, meantime, have got under full headway again, are taken all aback with an ap parition ; it is Mr. Jones, with that linen under his arm and a person with a brass shield on the lappel of his coat, The man with the brass shield Rrkes clerk by the nape of the neck and starts him toward the Tombs. Clerk remonstrates explains exclaims and so on, but keeps moving up Broadway and thro' Chambers street, when all of a sudden he concludes to disgorge the $32.74 which Jones takes, thanks the officer, and vanishes. Mr. Jones related these interesting ad ventures in person. AsShuter, the celobrated comedian, was once travelling to the north of Eng land : the coach waestopped by a high wayman on Finchley Common. His only companion in the journey was an old gentleman, who, 10 save his money, pretended to be asleep. But Shuter re solved to be even with him. Accord ingly, when the highwayman present ed his pistol, and demanded of Shuter to deliver his money or he was a dead men. 4 Money !' returned he, with an idiotic shrug, and n countenance inex pressibly vacant, Ob, Lud, sir, they never trust me with any, for undo here always pays for me, turnpikes and all, your honor !" Upon which the high wayman gave him a few hearty curses for his stupidity, aroused the old gentle man, and robbed him of every shilling, whilst Shuter heartily enjoyed the joke. LORD ELLENBOROUGIl'S FIRST BRIEF. The following story is communicated to the Bradford Observer, as narrated by the late Richard Hodgson, Esq., of Wheatlands, formerly a notable of Brad ford : Mr. Hodgson had become possessed of additional property ; but a claimant sprung up that disputed his legal title to it, and instructed his attorney to de mand from him (Mr. Hodgson) an in spection of the title deeds, which being done in an insolent, dictatorial manner' he peremptorily refused. "'Phen, sir,', said the lawyer, "I will compel you to produce them at York." "And there," as promptly responded Mr. Hodgson, "I will meet you and thrash you to your . heart's content." Mr. Hodson shall now tell the story himself. "I was den fed ant, and, of course, bad to " rait- myfjTtpwxnfVi -attack, whose first move was to serruse all the leading counsel travelling the Northern Circuit. 'Never mind,' says I to my lawyer,' 'my title is so indisputable, that if I cannot meet with a counsel to my mind alter we arrive at York, I will be my own counsel, and lick them too.'" On ar riving at York, Mr. Hodgson and his so licitor immediately proceeded to the cas tle, the assizes having opened that day, having formed the singular determina tion to select his counsel from his phis iognomy while seated in conrt. '-After carefully surveying the big wigs and the faces under them, I remarked to my lawyer, '1 rather like the looks of the young man on our left ; speak to him: and inquire if he has any objection to a consultation with a view to a brief ; if I am not mistaken, there is both sense, and law in that head.' The reply to the qnestion was, "I shall be happy to see you at my lodgings this evening at six." On being ushered into his room, the yonng counsel, whose name 1 did not even know, said, "This is the first time 1 have travelled the circuit, and your brief is the first I have had offered; I am but a young barrister, and 1 think it only fair to give you this warning." 1 replied, i "I like yon no worse at all, hut all the bet- ter, for your candor ; we will now pro jceed with the consultation." Although my tale was intricate, there was no doubt of its legality. My young coun sel made himself master of every point in an incredibly short time, "Your ti tle," he remarked, "is good beyond qnes tion ; if t can only make the court and jury see it as clearly as 1 see it myself; there wit! be no doubt of th result; dare you entrust me with the biief nffr the warning I have aiven yoti V "I dare," I replied ; and tne brief and all the necessary legal documents were handed to him. "By-the-bye," 1 re marked, "you mtist give mfo yotfr firtfne." "Law," he replied, "is my name." "Then of course we mnst be right," I responded, ''having already secured law on our side. On the third day of the' assizes our cuise Was called, and it being one of those where the onus probandl lies with the defendant, we were callod upon to pro ceed. My young counsel rose, and all eyes were directed towards him, never having been seen at York before J and, during the whole time of his speaking, (two hours,) the attention of the entire court never slackened. At the conclu sion of his address, a buzz of approba tion ran through the bar and audience. His Lordship addressing the leading counsel on the opposite side, inquired if, after the clear, lucid and able state ment of the law of the case, and it was altogether a question of law, he would think it his duty to take up the time of the conrt by a reply. "Yes, my Lord," answered a grutt voice, "we are not in the habit of falling before we are knock ed down." "Very well, as yon will, brother Cockin." The trial proceeded, and at its conclusion the judge told the jury that the question for decision was entirely oue of the law, and there was no doubt the law was with the defend ant, as his counsel had most conclusive ly shown, in a speech which would have done honor to a veteran, and aug ured well for the learned counsel as re garded the future. The jury, without turning round, gave a verdict for the de fendant. "Iwas8oexcited,"continuedMr- Hodg son, "that, forgetting where 1 was, I sung out 'Young man; but recollecting mjself,l aid, 'Learned sir,' addressing my young counsel, 'if you live to die of old age, you will become either Lord Chief Justice or Lord Chancellor,' " "Thank you," respond ed he; "I wish you may live to see it." And I have lived to see it, as I suppose I need not inform you, that ray young coun sel, Mr. Law of that day, is now the cele brated Lord Chief Justice EUenborough. Not long . since, a youth older in wit than in years, after being catechised con cerning the power of Nature, replied -' Ma, 1 thiuk there's one thing Nature can't do.' What is it ?' inquired the mother. 'She can't make Bill Jones' mouth any bigger without setting his ear's back.' A lawyer having some business to trans act with a widow lady, took occasion to inquire her age. The matron, who had long since doffed the " widow's weeds, " at tempted to look, prim, and much - younger man sne really wa; "1 hirty-nve sir." Then turning to the daughter, he said, "May I be so bold, miss, as to inquire your age i" "Certainly? I am a little past thirty-two? most three years younger than mother." ' HINTS TO HORSE DEALERS. Tompkins bought a fine horse paid $300 for him. The horse, afterafew months, proved to be lame in the right shoul der. Tompkins was distressed about1 it tried all sorts of remedies embrocation, liniments, Mustang included, under the ad vice of the very best veterianaries, still the lameness was obstinate, and grew rather worse. He became desperate, and hit upon this device to sell the horse, he drove an ugly ten penny hair plump into the right fore foot, ami lefi it there for ten days, when he led the tortured animal limping to a neighbsring blaksmith to be shod. The blacksmith was a dealer in horses, and quite a jockey in his way. After a while Tomp kins called at the shop for his horse. "That's a splendid gelding of yours, Mr. Tompkins; pity he is so lame," says the blacksmith. ' "He u Indeed," replied Tompkins; "bat he is very lame, and i.am afraid be can't be cured." " - - - "Perhaps not,jtnd may-be he can," says Vulcan. "How much would you be wil ling to take for him, just as be stands, Ml. Tompkins, money down?" "Ah, well, Itlont know what to say about that; if he is cured, be is worth all 1 paid for hirn, and even much more as horses go now; but if his lameness should continue, you see he is worth nothing net & dollar." The blacksmith began to chaffer. First he offered $50, then $100, and at last $200 for the animal The money was paid, and the horse deliverd on the spot, "Now,' says the blacksmith, "ai the bargain is finished, 1 wili be frank with you, Mr. Tompkins. I suppose I can tell you exactly what ailed that horse." "Can you?" said Tompkins,"welI, I shall be glad to hear it. 1 thought you knew all about it, or you would not have paid so much money for him.". , The blacksmith producing the nail, and assured Tompkins, with ' great apparent satisfaction, that, while paring down the horse's hoofs, he had found that infernal long piece of iron, and drawn it out of the frog of the fore-foot. "Is that all you know about ii?' Tomj kir.s asked very quietly. "AH!" replied the blacksmith : "all! isn't that anough for conscience sake?" "Well," replied Tompkins, "I dont know as it is. I will be equally frank with you, since the bargan .U frntshed. 1 drove that nail into the foot, but the larrieness is in the sholJer, I think you will find f" WHoTsT GENTLEM AN. "A gentleman is not merely a person ac quanted with certain forms and the etiquette of life, easy, 6elf-possessed in society, to able speak and act, and move in the world with out awkwardness, and free from habiis, which are vulgar and in bad taste. A gen tleman is something much beyond this? all that which lies at the root of all his ease, and refinement, and tact, an I power cf pleasing, is the same spirit which lies at the root of every Christian virtue. It is the thoughtful desire of doing, in every instance as he would that others should do unto htm.. He is constantly thinking, not how he may give pleasure to others, at the mere cense of pleasing but how he can show respect for others -how he may avoid hurting their feelings. -When he is in society, he scru pulously ascertains the position and relation of every one with whom he is brought in contact, mat be may give to each his due honor, his proper position. He studies how he may avoid touching, in conversation, up an any subject which may needlessly hurl their feelings how he may abstain from any allusion which may call up a disagree able or offensive as ociution. A gentlenv n never alludes to, never even appears con scious of, any personal defect, bodily defor mity, inferiority of talent, of rank, or reputation, m the person in whose society he is placed. lie never assumes any su periority for himself he never ridicules, never sneers, never boasts, never makes a display of his own power or rank or advan tages such a3 is implied in ridicule, or sarcasm, or abuse as he never indulges in habits or tricks, or inclinations which may t,- r : . . i A WAR OF RACES IN A FREE STATE. Another Mob. It appears the mob spirit has broken out near Evansville, Indiana, the parties being whites on one siae ana DiacKs on tne other. A tamily of nineteen colored persons got into a fight with a white family named Ed wards, one of whom was dangerously wounded. Subsequently, because a magistrate released them on bail, a mob of whites attacked the house of the blacks, during which five of the former were seriously and one fatally wounded. On the next night the whites organized another and larger mob to hang the blacks on the spot, and were preparing a cannon to fire on their dwellings, but the sheriff being in advance of them took the blacks secretly to jail for safe keeping, and thus foiled them in their lawless intentions. At the last accounts the mob were thieatening to tear down the jail, and had at empted to fire the dwellings of the sheriff and the lawyer for the blacks. If all this had occurred in a southern State, how some ot the northern press would squirm and how'!
