A Court Scene

There is an attorney practioiug iu our coutts who has attained a great uotorie1y, among numcrous other tbings, for bullying witneses on ihe opposite eides of casos when he is concerned. As it would uot be polite to give his f 'uil name right out in the crowd, we will merely cali hitn " Wayke," tbr short. There was a horse ase iu the Justicca' Court one day, ia wbich Waykc hap pened to be engaged. A slow and easy witiicss had beeu called to the stand by the plaiutiff, who, iu a plain, straightforward manner, in ad o the other side of the case iook ra hor blue. Tho plaintiflV attoruey beiug through, Wayko commencod a regular cross-üxiimination, which was cut short in this manner: - '■Well, wliat do you know about a horse - you & horse doctor?"' taid the barbarian, in hs peculiar coutemptuous aad overbearing manner. "fío, I don't pretend to be a borse doctor, but I know a good deal of "the nature of the bea.t." "Thai nieans to ?iy taat you know a horse fiom a jackass, when you see thera," s?id Wayke, iu the saaie slvle - lookiag knovvingly at tbe Ciurt, and glancing triumphiintl) around the crowd of spectators, with a telegraphic expression, which said, ''Nuw I've got him on the hip " The iiitcndcd victim, gazing intently at bis k'gal tormeotor. drawled out - "Oh, ye-as - jusi so - ld never take you for a horse" Tbe Supremo Court of the Uuited States could not hüve proserved its gravity through tho ticene-that followed. The lick back produced a regular stampede, and everybody was convioced that whatever the attorney uiight be, the wiluess wae a "hoss."
