Tho following anecdoto Ih scut by a Kentucky correspondent, who says it is tho exact truth: "A youug man who had not found it convenient to pay a tailor's bill was brought up on a creditor's bill by tlio crnel tailor before n very kind hearted vico chancellor, who liked tho youth. IIo was Inimlfomoly dressed and woro a costly diamond stud in his shirt boo:n, but declared nnder oath that ho had no property except his wearing apparel. The tailor's lawyer claimed that a dia mond stud was not an articlo of exempt apparel and asked for its huircnder, but tho judgu rnled that tho diamond but- ' ton hold tho parts of tho f-hirt togotner and its removal wonld lead to indecent ' exposure of the person. Then tho law- , ycr urged that tho shirt was of a now ldnd whiull buttoned in tho liack. but tho jutlgo met this by saying: 'Tho pre sumption of tho lnw is that shirts but ton in front, and tho court docs not ju dicially know that t-hirtsovcr button in j tho Lack. Tho court will uoc require tho defendant to submit to an exumina-! tion to rebut tho presumption. ' And so tlio dinmoud remained in tho bosom which cherished it." lUIiuvtte ut Nice. Onofeatnro cf lifoou tho Riviora that particularly stril.-es tho sojourner from this sido of tho Atlantic is tho utter nb scuco of tho piazza life that is such an institution nt American summer and winter rosorts. A recent visitor at Nice writes iq tho Now York Times: "A nian may show himself hero oil tho Promcnado des Anglais, either on foot or in coach, within certain wull defined hours nnd with well tindcrstood restrio- tions as to his costume, but ho must under no circumstances bo kccu sitting in front of his own dwelling, bo it villa or hotel. Tho front of tho promises must bo clean nnd well kept, with ns mauy plants and flowers us yon like, but thero must bo no array of comforta ble chairs and littlo tables, ns wo havo them, or any other outward sign, in fact, that sonio ono lives within nnd sonio ono who knows how to take lifo comfortably. To sit in front ot a hotel hero after breakfast, smoking tho cigar of contentment, would be a brazen deli auco of all social usages." Ilotr lie Shot. A Texas military company was ont on tho raugo practicing nt rifle shoot-. mg. Tho lioutenaut in command sud denly Lecauio exasperated ut tho poor shooting, and seizing a gun lrom ono of thu privates cried sharply; I "I'll show you fellowu how to 6hoot.
