MICAJA ONCE MORE. Henry Clay and George Washington in Trouble .-Thanksgiving , in Court. It was a field day in Judge Roberts' ourt this morning and Micajah was in his glory, for he knew tomorrow being Dies Nun, he would have a holiday.

When the Judge called the name, Henry Clay, a little bullet-headed black coon, stepped out from the throng with in the prisoners' dock. "You arc charged with being a va grant," said the Judge. "What say you Henry Clay'.' Are you guilty or not guilty?" "Well, boss," replied Henry, "I don't zackly ketch on to your rogertnry. If you menas what I was rested for. den 1'se gwine to lucidate." "The court is aware, sir, that you were arrested upon a charge of being a vagrant, loitering about the city without visible means of support, sub sisting in some mysterious manner, for you do not work." Well, boss, dere is some truth in what you say, for what supports me is what I eats, and when I eats it of. course it is invisible. But I do not loi ter about, for the officers keeps me hus tling all lie time. I subsist without work, for I'se got a girl what oks for de white supremacy." "That will do, Henry Clay; you can go, but if you appear here again I shall send you to the roads." "George Washington," called the Judge, and a tall, lank-looking mulatto arose and stood like. a mile-post upon a country road. "You are charged with the larceny i.f a turkey," said the Judge. "Judge," replied G. Wash, "for a week or more I have been praying for the Lord to send me a turke for tomorrow, and at last Thanksgiving approach- ng, I prayed the Lord to send me to a turkey, and last night I got up in my sleep and wended my way I knew not where, nor do I know when I returned to my hearthstone, but when I awoke this morning I was lying in bed and in my hand I held a gooi fat gobbler. I was about to give thanks for this good luck, when Mr. Upchurch walked in and said there was some dispute about the ownership of the turkey, and asked me to come with him that the matter might be submitted to arbitration. Not wishing to prolong the dispute. I now consent to cede or annex that turkey to whoever thinks he has superior right to mine." "Well, George, you will have no tur key for tomorrow, but you, too, may go, and be thankful you are not locked up in jail." Mary Anderson and Pauline Bow man, a duet of ginger-cake coons, ap proached the bar to answer to a charge of an ffray, and requested they be per mitted to plead guilty and pay costs. It appearing that no weapons were used and no serious injury done, that course was taken by the i?ourt, when Mary Anderson requested the court to please collect her half of the costs from A-.caja. Four East Raleigh male coons were arraigned for a breach of the peace, and taxed the costs with a caution not to appear there again. . And the court closed, and the hungry looking court-room loungers moved slowly out. while Micaja was humming "All Coons Look Alike to Me." COLONEL HARRIS. J. C. L.
