siicornt of tin; o -eiieieiire. I was silling
in the old urn-".!' gallery, nortli tt und feeing;
tli irs-ii..iii's chair, nud i:i!:neliatr!y over
Fxtr. The latter occupied a seat on tho outer
ein-le, cud I tliink, the sex-ond or third desk
from t!iu middle aisle. I was looking down
011 his bold jwit-3 while ho was uttering tho
seat!. in remarks iill:idel to against liciiton.
The latter also was in full view, seated on the
outer chi.de, ..Theps live or six desks further
north and east f iom Foote, and further from
the middle aisle.
It may lie as well to state here that there
hail been a great deid of Lilter feelini? exist
Uig Letvveeu th;se senators for a considerable
time, kencnited to aa acrimonious jsilitieal
debate. In tliis Foote was the most wring,
for he had a greaU'r gift of invective than
any niau I ever heard. It seemed to be uo
troul.lo to Lj'ii to annihilate every ficrson in
this way to whom lie was not friendly, and
he certainly did not lack tho will to do so.
Iieiiton wits not a bit more lovely in (lisjx
sition, indeed less ), I think, f:- hesoeml to
Msse.ss more hale naturally in his feelings
than any other mail I ever knew, and he was
not slow to express thocK' feelings in the most
whithering lunguafce. Ho hated, and never
forgot to hate, e.ceji.ii!g nly in tli3 easo of
Gen. Jackson, who, from lying regard.jil his
grcsit, enemy, Locarno in tho end his irreatest
friend.
Iiut Benton was sn; .reinely egotistical and
vain. It was, "I, Tliomtis U. IJenton, havo
m-l this ball in motion;" and he did not con
cede the equality of any other man in the sen-
tie. ! or many of them he had perfect con
tempt. Footo was o:r of the members. Of
this class Benton did not wish to stoop to
ejieak at all, or even refer to, if he could
avoid it. Footc know this and his wt-
ehteem, also extraevdinary large, was galled
by it. I am inclined to think that the great
est cause of the diilieultles between theiu was
in this very . plainly exhibited contempt of
Benton. Foote had frequently attacked him
with Ins very severe nnd abusive language,
and ISentou had told the senate that if that
Lcdy did not protect him hereafter from such
attack, Lo would take the matter in his own
hand: and defend himself.
Vv'hea Foote began his njieeeh I think there
was a general excitement as to what might
be the result. None of us had to wait Ion;
licfore Foote began 0110 of his famous hjixv
thetieal climaxes of denunciation, which,
when ho had filled it u; high enough, was to
point out the party referred to by toppling
over on and overwhelmingly crushing him.
Benton sat in his great arm chair looking at
him and awaiting the end. Then he instantly
arose, and with a tremendous push of his
right hand, sent his roller chair creaking over
the lioor backward. He stepped into the
aisle leading toward Foote and advanced with
a furious look and a firm tiead. Ho had
made but two or three ste.)s in that direction
WAen Footo hastily put his hand into his left
breast pocket and pulled thovefrom a pLstol,
which looked about six or seven inches in
barrel- He cocked it and hastily retreated
to the centre space in front of the secretary's
desk. Here ho was at once surrounded by
other senators, who took tne pistol from him,
and I saw one put it in his desk. Benton
went no fmluer toward him when he left his
place, but,, rather, toward his own chair, and
-i;i ri:isr t'jc- :3o!'..-;;ni, viowntly ana frantic-
. cvkd, t.'! ai-":issi!i jhoot." Then he
ked toward I-'oole again, uttering, "Let
t he assassin shxt," and made an apparent
effort with Iwth hands to bare his breast in the
most theatrical stvle. 'I have no arms! I
have no arms!" he roared again and again.
At this time, however, Foote had no pistol as
Benton doubtless could see, and his action
was merely dramatic parade. In retreating
from Benton, Foote left a place where, if he
had desired to defend himself or use his
pistol, he had nothing to do but to turn
slightly to the left, toward the wall, and
without endangering any ono. But to hur
riedly leave lus place and get in the center of
the chajnber, where he could not have firod
without danger to senator?, was an action
not to be explained on any other ground than
that of shrinking f rcrc the contest. I know
that he had tho reputation of being a brave
man had fought such duels and was ready
to fight more and I think he was really
game. But none of us are always the same,
and ho had every l-eason to believe that Ben
ton meant work.

uut tne nae was a "leaiTiu joy," ir a joy
at all I boon the driver jumped oil for a gos
sip and a smoke, leaving the elephant to
gang his am gates ' for a mile or more, and
ho turned into the j'uugle, where he began to
rend and tear the trees, and then going to a
mud-hole he drew all the water out of it,
squirted it with a loud.noiso over himself and
his riders, soaking my clothes with it, and
when he turned lack to the road again he
several times stopped and seemed to stand on
his head by stiXTeniug his proboscis and lean
ing ujon it, and when I hit him with my
umbrella he uttered the loudest roar I ever
heard. My ilalay fellow-rider jumped off
and ran back for the driver, on which tho
panniers came altogether down on my side.
and I hung on with difficulty, wondering
what other possible contingencies could
occur, always expecting that the beast.
which was nourishing his proboscis, would
lift me oil with it and deposit ine in a mud-
hole.
Onr Only Hope,
Boston Transcript.
Professor Paige says that, unless another
ark is built, a glacial epoch will in 4,000 years
depopulate tlie world. Well, then, for mercy's
sake don't let us build it. If the world is to
lie deivwulated, it is just possible that the
oldest Mason, G. Washington's body servant
and a few other hardy perpetuals may go
down with the rest. It is our only hope.
True, 4.000 years is a good while to wait, but
they wiil soon ia.s away, and happiness may
lie ours. At any rate, don't build that ark.
E'en now the voices of countless thousands
yet unborn cry out against it.

II?rp s a straae story of a case," said a
new loric lawyer recently; "About two
years ago a man came to mo and stated that
1. ; . . . .. 1. 1 1 1 - , - . . . .
1m.u1.-1 ixa'i uieu in restate, leaving prop-
eny on Long island. Uf several heirs one
wc: a son who had gone west in 1SG6, and
had not been 1 e vrd from. The property had
been partitioned and divided among the heirs,
the share of tho absent one remaining in the
custody of tho court. My cl.ent, who was
the eldest one, wished to have this share di
vided for the benefit of himself and the other
heirs. The missing man was tho third son.
It was a case without a known precedent in
the books. A 1tid t
wliom 1 spoke, did not recall any iaral!cl
case, nor could he advw mo what htejm were
proer in the cao. I solved the difllculty by
taking prfK-eMlings by petition in the supreme
court. The mutter was referred for proof of
the facts alleged in the petition. We proved
that the missing son had not Un-n heard from
for foui-teen yearn, and that all efforts to find
him liad proved futile. The court thni issued
a decnv declaring him drud, and order! hill
111 re to distributed among the remaining
heirs.
"This was done, and the attirny had, as
you msiy judge, received his fe., when tho
lost heir turned up alive! After all these
years he hod suddenly concluded that he
wantii! to hear from home, and ho hud writ
ten a letter, add:i-ssing it to the old hoiri::tra.l.
He was surprised to learn of his fathrr':
death, though he had i:ot heard from him for
about fifteen years. I!e had srttl",d in v yom
ing territory, as a sutler in the CiutVu Ntnti's
army, and he had gained a fortune by tho
enterprise, tact and t!iu other rare qualities
that go to mako up an army sutler.
"The other heirs w ere alarmed; and about
the first thing tliev thought of doing was to
ask 1110 to return the fee thry had paid m
which I respectfully declined to do. Those
heirs who were not prompt enough t' g;-t
their shares are out: and tho remainder of
the money is rtill in the custody of the court
awaiting the rightful owner's return. Ho
has not come back to claim his share yet, but
if he were to come baek he would havo to
prove his identity, and that he was not dvul,
and get an order declaring him living, before
he could legally claim his bhuro of the prop-
fcl-t.v."

New York Letter in Chicago Herald.
On dislauding her troupe Mrs. Langtry
presented Mr. Schwab with a splendid horse
shoe pin of diamonds and a large sapphire;
her leading man, Mr. Cowper, with a silver
drinking ila.sk, suitably engraved with a fac
simile of tho Lily's handwriting; to a lady
she gave a handsome gold bracelet; to Mr.
Mendrum, her advance agent, a pencil
mounted with jewels; to another member of
the company a pair of slcevedinks, and to
some of I he others velvet frames with her
photo enclosed, while the rest got one of her
winning smiles and a high-toned won I of
gxl-by. The season just ended has been
highly successful. The bucolic citizen has
disgorged his $2 for the privilega of learning
for himself if Mi-s. Langtry is over-rated as a
lienuty and lied about as an actress. It's a
strange thing that this young woman her
pretensions as a beauty and an actress ex
ploded and exposed from her first appear
ance has yet been able to draw crowds all
over the United States. She cleared 13,000
on this last little tour, and
it's l.'l, 000 made from the Insa
tiable curiosity of this silly nation. Mi's.
I jtngtry is a most remarkable woman. On
si fine complexion, a good head of hair, a
gash of a mouth, large, wholesome teeth, a
bust as fiat as a Boston cracker, very ugly
ai-ras, abnormally big hands and feet, wick
edly slender and nubbly-kneed legs, a very
shamble of a walk, a finely poised head, a
violently corseted waist, she has established
a reputation for beauty almost divine. AVith
angular, awkward gesticulation, a monot
onous voice, an utter absence ot tnat attri
bute called magnetism, with a painful, pal
pable ignorance of the meaning of an author,
with a parrot's ability of committing words
to memory, and a monkey's mechanical trick
of imitation, she has got herself a name as an
actress. After reading the history of Lily
Langtry's actual beauty and talent one
wants to go out doing plain sewing, since
plainly these are not the attributes com
manding success. Mi's. Langtry is a living
exponent of a theory I hold that the world
will accept you nine times out of ten, not for
w hat you are, but for that you believe your
self to be and assert yourself as being. Some
of tho blamed est duffers pose as statesmen,
poets, artists, and aetressos liecause they have
the sublime cheek to claim their positions.

Detroit Free Pres3.
The other day a tramp found a real fe
male philanthropist in Detroit. She felt
sorry for him, and fed him, and said she
knew that he was the victim of misfortune,
and there were tears in her eyes as she gave
him an old vest aud told him to return next
;iay and get. the "oat to match. He told hr
of losing his f.tmiiv by a steaudioat explosion
of having his home taken away on a mort
gage or iieing a wainiercr iteiore wuoseeyes
the lost wifrand precious children were ever
appearing to keep his heart big, and his
courage down, and if he had only remained
live minute.-, longer she would have wept out
right. He went away thinking what a soft thing
he had 011 this cold world, and a day or two
subsequent!' ho returned for the coat. The
jiuinters had been at work and just finished
the floor of the veranda. As there wa3 no
board up the tramp walked up the steps and
marched the whole length of the freshly
painted floor, and rapped at tho door, with
his mouth puckered up into the proper
mournful expression. It was opened by the
woman, but she had no smiles nor tears.
"Get off that paint, you good-for-nothing!"
he yelled "Get out o' here, you villain C
"Madam, that coat you !"
"I'll coat you! Look at your feet look at
that paint look at the damage."
lie was still looking, fnvt at one foot and
then the other, when the handle of a binom
cracked across his back and he felt obliged to
slide.
'I came for the coat," he remarked as he
stood on tlis grass.
"You'll get a prison coat if you don't
travel," she ivpliad. "Here dog here dog
here dog! Take hold of hiinBowscr!"
The tramp moved on to the front, and
standing there wuh his hand on a shade tree I
ae surveyed the house and muttered:
"Why didn't Shakespeare say that hell
hath 110 fuiy like a woman cleaning house
Well, Id better stop here and warn agents
not to enter the shadder of death."

Gen. Sherman is one of the most pooular

for him at social entertainments. He rarely,
if ever, din.s at home. As he go. out so
regularly he sometimes forgets where he is to
go. The other night he cam? out on his door
step in a great hurry. He was in dinner
dress, but hesitated after he came out of the
door. Mi's. Sherman, who was in the hall,
asked what was the matter. "My George,"
said the general, "I was to goto dinner some
where to-night, aud to save my blanned,

The enormous influx of utrangers aftr the
gold discoveritai brought together the ex
tremes from the four corners of the eartlu
Han Francisco had the ablest liar and the best
physicians, and at the same time tho greatest
number of the most daring and reckless
thievis and cut-throats of any city oil the con
tinent. Criminals from all parts of the
world flocked to the coast, but their ranks
were chiefly recruited from tho English penal
colonies of Van Dieman's I-and and
New South Wales. Ticket -of-leave men
and old convicts who had berved their term
were given good riddence by the colonial au
thorities, and their presence was soon felt in
the rapid increase of crime. All manner of
atrocities were jierjietratod, murder, theft
and robberies, but that which roused the jieo
ple was the frequent retoirreneo of devastat
ing fires. Several times tho city had leen
destroyed by incendiary conflagrations.
Lynch law was tried once or twice aud a
criminal hanged, but tho cirect w as but tem
porary. The delays of the law, tho banding
together of thieves and assa-siiLS for mutual
protection, the facility with which an alibi
could be proven by comrades of tho eecued,
at length exasperated tho better portion of
the community to such an extent that in
lb51 tho celebrated vigilance committee w'as
formed, composed of 400 or 500 of the best
citizens of San Francisco. In a nvist delilier
ate, ojien and orderly manner the association
was formed and without haste or tumult their
decrees were executed. They resolved to rid
their city of the class which had inaugurated
an unparalleled reign of crime. It was not
for tho puriose of revenge upon any individ
ual, but to wage war of extermination upon
desperadoes. It was agreed that at a signal
from an engine houso 111 tho members should
assemble at their rooms and proceed to try
any criminal who might Ixs brought before
them. They were at all 1 imes to bo on the
alert, ready to pursue and capture any jer
son caught committing a ciime, aud
the punishment agreed upon was
death. If a thief was apprehended
at 10 o'clock at night, the tam of the lell
brought tho committee together and tho
chances are that within a few hours his body
would be dangling from a rojie's end. It was
only by this summary method that they
could strike terror to the hearts of tho crimi
nal classes, by giving them to understand
that vengeance, swift, certain and inoxorablo,
would be visited upon them. The dangerous
classes knew tliat not only would their pun
ishment be sure and terrible, but they knew
that hundreds of vigilant eyes were upon them
ready to detect the slightest infraction of the
law. Dangerous characters were warned to
leave, and the boats were crowded with terri
fied rascals. Four men were executjed and
crime came almost to a stand still. Other
towns saw the good effects cf the proceedings
in San Francisco, aud vigilance committees
w ere organized, and incsdeulablo good was
the result.

Sidney Armstrong Johnson was a fat man
with a florid face, a blonde wig, prominent

one could see at a glance that he was real
sorry.
"Well, Sidney, queried the court. "WalL

and I'd bo a f ule to deny it."
"Then you were drunk?"'
"Kinder dmnk. I wanted two sidewalks
to get along on, and yet when I run against
a woman and she called me a lirate I knew
she Fpelled it with a big B. . I was drunk,
your honor, and yet I was conscious of what
was going on aromid me."
"But you lay down on the sidewalk."
"Wall, I was tuckered out, you see."
"Prisoner, what is your business in this

"I'm a-selling a new kind of clothes
wringer, squar' an instrument which peels
the socks clean off any other tool ever in
vented by mortal hyena. It will wring the
roof of a horse-barn stone-dry in five minutes
and never rip oil a button."
"Will it wring tho whisky out of a chap

"Say, squar', don't be too hard on a man
who has had either corns or toothache all his
life. I'll tell you what I'll do. If you'll let
np on me I'll give you tho agency for this
wringer for tho city of Detroit, You can
make more clear cash out of it in three
months than you can to sit up thar' on that
bench for a hull year."
"If I let you go will you keep sober during
your stay in the city?''
"If I don't you kin call mo a hoss-tbief !
Keep sober? Why, sque.r', Iii keep so sober
that a hard frost will foller in my tracks.
This 'ere is my fust drunk for forty -eight
years, and I feel as silly as a boy caught
hooking green plums."
"Well, I wiil suspend sentence this time,
but don't you appear here again."
"2ever! Squar' never. Now I want to do
the fair thing by you. I want you to take
the agency of the boss wringer of the world.
She'll wring anything on earth, from a needle
to a haystack. She's up before day, and she
sits up until after the hired gal is abed.

"Never mind any further talk, Mr. John
son; you can go."
"And you don't want the wringeri"
"No."
"You'd druther keep right on where you
aref'
"Yes."
"Wall, that's for you to say, and I hope you
won't regret it. Good-by, squar', and may
you weigh a ton before fall."

In Mobile, Ala., one may see the window
at which Cade Godbold, United States mar

when news came from Montgomery that
Alabama had seceded from the Union: "Oh,
yes, fellow-citizens! Oh, yes! Take notice
that the honorable court of the United States
for the southern district of Alabama is ad-
I journed forever!" The anouceient was
somewhat premature.
