In tho policies of life insurance compa

tho company from any obligation to

chant, who had been a president of n
life insurance company nnd had paid
from llrst to last over $20,000 In premi

had tho 100,0000 of Insurance on his

thus lost both thu money ho had paid in

A doctor named IlovsUm had sued
Peter Beanett for his bill, long overdue,
for attending the wife of the latter, Al
axander II. Stephens was on the Ben
nett side and Robert Toorabo. then Sen
ator to the United State, was for Dr.
Rovslon.
The doctor proved the number of his
Tislts, according to local cutom, and
his own authority to do medical prac
tice. Mr. Stephens told his client that
the physician had made his case, and as
there was nothing whatever to rebut or
offset the claim, the only thing left to
do was to pav it.
"N'o," saltl Peter, "I hired you to
speak In mv case; and now, speak."
Mr. Stephens told him there was not
anything to say; he had looked on to
see that it was matte out, and It was.
Peter was obdurate, and nt lat Mr.
Stephens told him to mako a stwech
himself, If he thought one could be
matin.
"I will," said Peter Dennett, "if
Dabby Toombs will not bo too hard on
me."
Senator Toombs promised, and Peter
began:
Gentleman of the Jury, you and I Is
plain farmers, and If we don't stick to
gether these 'ere lawyers and doctors
will git the advantage of us. I ain't no
objection to them In their proper place;
but they aln!t farmers, gentlemen of
the jury. Now, this man, Hovston, waa
a new doctor, and I went for him to
come an' to doctor my wife's sore leg.
And he come and put some salve truck
onto It, and some rags, but never done
it one bit of good, gentlemen of tho ju
ry. I don't oelieve he is no doctor, no
way. Now, there is doctors that
Is doctors, sure enough; but this man
don't earn his money; and if you send
for him, as Mrs. Suan Atkinson did,
for a nigger as was worth $1,000. ho
JiMt kills him nnd wants pay for it."
"I don't!" thnndered the doctor.
"Did you cure him?" asked Peter,
with the 'slow accent of a judge with
the black cap on.
The doctor was silent, nnd Peter pro
cccde: "As I was a savin', gentlemen of tho
jury, wo farmcrs,when wc sell our cot
ton", has got to give vallevfor tho money
we ask. and a doctor alnH none to vood
to bu put to thu same rule. And I don't
believe this Sam Royston is no doctor,
no how."
The physiciau again put in his oar,
with, "look nt my diploma, if you
think I am no physlcinn."
"IBs diploma', exclaimed the new
Hedged orator, with great contempt.
"His diploma, gentleman of thu jury,
this U a new word for printed sheop
kiu; and it didn't mnku no doctor of
the sheep ns llrst wore it, nor docs it of
the man who now carries it, and I pint
out to you that he ain't no doctor at
all." "
The man of medicine was now In a
fury, and screamed out: "Ask my pa
tient If I am no doctor!"
"I nked my wife," retorted Peter,
"and she ta!il as how she thought you
wasn't."
"Ask my other pntlento," said Dr.
Rovston.
This seemed to be tho straw that
broko the camel' back, for Peter replied
with a look and tono of unutterable
sudness:
"This is a hard saying, gentlemen of
tho jury, and one that requires mo to
dio or to have powers as I've heard tell
ceased to be exercised since the apos
tles. Does ho expect mo to bring the
nngel Gabriel down to toot his horn be
fore tho tlmo, and crv aloud, 'Awake,
ye dead, and tell thfs court and jury
your opinion of Royton'.s practice!'
Am I to go down to the tomb nnd say
to him as is at last at rest from physio
and doctor's bills, 'Git up here, you, nnd
state if you died a natural death, or was
you hurried up some by doctors?' IIu
says ask his patients, and, c-entlemcn of
tho jury, they are nil dead! Where Is
Mrs. Ben.ly's man, Situ? (Jo ask tho
worms in the graveyard where ho lies.
Mrs. Peak's woman, Sarah, was attend
ed by him, and her funeral was appoint
ed and ho Ind the corpse ready. Where
is that likely Bill, as belonged to Mr.
Mitchell? Now In glory, a1 expressln'
his opinion on Royston'sdocterin'. And
where is tho baby gal of Harry Steph
ens? She are wliere tho doctor's cease
from troublin', aud tho infants are at
rest. Gentlemen of the jury, ho has cat
chickens enough at my house to pay
for tho salvo, and I furnished Iho rags,
and I don't suppose he charges for mak
ln' of her worse, and oven ho don't pre
tend to charge forcurin' her, and I am
humbly thankful that he never gavo her
anything for her inwards, as lid did his
other patients, for somethin' made 'em
all dio mighty sudden."
- Here the applause mado tho speaker
sit down in great confusion, and, in
spite of tho logical restatement of the
caso by Senator Toombs, tho doctor lost
and Peter Bennett won. Rochester Express.
Why the Hungarian Hate Russia.
Tho Magyars are a vigorous, proud
and aggressive nationality, and mako
good their claim to more than tho
amount of home rule demanded by our
Irish members. 1 hey have a hatred ol
Russia founded on her Intervention at
tho moment when their rebellion prom
ised to bo successful; and their admi
ration springs, not only from her resis
tance to their own foe. but from her
refusal to give up tho Hungarians who
took refuge in her territory. They have -not
forgotten that tho Sultan delicd tho
Czar. It is perfectly natural that they
should dislike Russia and admire Tur
key. But they have a more practical
reason for hostility to any toleration of
Russian objects. They know that if tbo
treaty of San Stcfano were to bo en
forced, Austria would be obliged to pro
tect her own interests by extending her
sovereignty over some of tho Slav prov
ince of Turkey, and that she would
thus become more of a Slav Empire.
It is not surprising that they should bo
hostile to any chango which would tend
to lessen the political importance of
