RED-HOT "CHEELY. ?« Mexican Dish with a "Tendency te Promote Digestion." Qov It Led to an Encounter tween Two Old Nclsbbtti« - The Jodse'e Decision at the Trial. [Arkansaw Traveler.] Some time ago Col. Milbank visited Mex fco, and, upon returning, declared that the Mexicans are the only people in the world who know how to cook. "Why," said he to B)s wife, "their dish of 'cheely 1 is excellent. You take a handful of bird peppers, mix in a title meal and stew 'em up. Of course it't Cot and especially with a stranger, seems to t)C composed of three parts Are and one part torment, but after a man gets used to it, why there's nothing that has such a tendency to promote digestion. It undoubtedly prolongs life, keeps the mind active, and tends toward % general promotion of good feeling. I have brought home a sack of those peppers, and at e^ery meal after this, I shall expect my fa vorite dish." Bird peppers entered into the colonel's dfeily diet. No one thought of sharing the flsh with him until several days ago, when «Id Uncle Sam Blackamore, of Red Fork township, came to the city and called at the cp'onel's house. The old man, while at din ner. noticed the host dipping into what ap peared to be cooked tomatoes, and, during agi animated discussion, into which the sub ject of a literal place of torment in the world to come entered strongly, he reached over Old helped himself to a spoonful of stewed pepper. "Now," said the old fellow, lifting a good ^zed blaze on the point of his knife, and Bolding it near his mouth until he should reach a semicolon, "I'm a little quar in my belief and don't hesitate to say that the Wicked will be roasted like a 'possum—" He dropped the knife, wiped his tongue on to 8 coatsleeve, and, without speaking, he ^hauled off" with a sauce-bottle and knocked (Sbe colonel down. The colonel, being resent ful and impetuous, arose and discouraged <|d Blackamore's familiarity, by hurling his favorite dish into the visitor's frank and open Wrimtenance. A hand-to-hand encounter en Shed, resulting in the defeat of the colonel end the subsequent arrast of the old man. The case was taken to court and tried by an Slhinent justice of the peace, a jurist whose flea of justice rarely meets with reversal, 4tcept when it chances to fall under the se vere gaze of a judge who knows the law. When the lawers had closed their argu inerts, the old justice killed a horse fly with #paper cutter, and said: "This court is ready to deliver its opinion. The court holds that the defendant had a Sight to visit the land of the Montezuma« Wad Cortezes, and that while there had a per fect right to form a taste for the dishes pre pared by the inhabitants of that country. This court furthermore holds that the de fendant had a perfect right to prepare the 4jsh and eat it under the American flag; in Other words, he had a right to put it on his feble." "Then I understand," said the lawyer for e plaintiff, "that you have decided in our vor?" "Just wait, if you please, until this court Was concluded the decision. In order to be thoroughly prepared to judge the case wisely, toi 8 court ordered and tasted a sample of the Stuff brought from the depraved land of the Montezumas, and this court is prepared to Say that a man who wouldn't knock a fellow «town for placing such a hidden mine of ex ilosive compounds within his reach, ought to reak out with the nettle-rash, and be de prived of the right of suffrage. This court would advise the plaintiff to keep out of the defendant's way, but will say that if the de fendant don't catch him and maul the eternal pizen out of his disposition, ho will lay him Seif liable to a fine and the odium of being «considered a blamed fool by this court." Alex, H. Stephens and Bob Toombs. [Philadelphia Press.] "The late Alexander H. Stephens," said William H. Seidell, of Rome, Ga., who was his private secretary fer many years, at the Chard. recently, "was cne of the kindesi hearïcd men I ever knew, and his purse was «y 'ir open to those in need of assistance, in lS73he, with others, started a newspaper «Silled The Sun, at Atlanta. In the course of 4 very few years this sheet, though ostensi bly a success, got into difficulties and had to be sold. Il* the division the other men inter red in The Sun got all the money, while to Stephens was left the unpleasant task of foot ing the bills. He did not have the ready money, and signed bills for a large amount. One day Bob Toombs saunt ji-ed into Ste fln n <' office, about three sheets in the wind, Chiu his slouched hat pinled down over his eyes'. 'Aleck, I bear those confounded thieves h ,d some of your paper; s ir so? Tt is,' replied Stephens. 'Well, what is the total amount*' Stephens began the long list <ff the notes he had Leen obliged to give. The total footed up some £20.000. All ibis time To mbs v as scribbling on u piece of [ aper be bad picked up in an ausent sort of wav, and, when he had done, put the piece of paper in bis pocket and (.tumbled down stairs. In a couple of hours he was back and had the notas in his hat, which was a favorite piare of his for carrying things. Tumbling them all out on the table he safld: 'There you 41 «, Aleck. I made up my mind that those Curbed rascals shouldn't hold your notes. Are tl ese ail*' Stephens and ha counted th -m er and one was missing. 'Must have lost it,' said.Toombs; 'I know I got them alh' And her had got them all, but that one had propped out of his hat and was lost, at least, it never turned up again in Stephens' lifetime. Not lc ng be .ore his death Stephens made over his Texas lands to Toombs in pay ment' of the debt, very much against the lat ter's will. A Cai'ionct Procession, [Chicago Herald.] .
