MH seems to have been mindful that
excellence was attainable not only by
those who could pass on swiftly and
easily, but by those who, less favored
by nature, were superior in intelli
gence. Thus, regarding genius as tha
mere capacity to acquire knowledge, he
gave himself to habitual study." Da
scribing to Mr. Parker his method of
acquiring his .profession, Mr. Choata
said "that he gave his mind wholly to
it; that his habit was to read until'twa
o'clock in the morning. After his early
experience his legal studies became lesa
exclusive, as he sought a broader and
more generous culture than the law
could give. But even in his latest years
ho found inspiration in Coke and Little
ton, fearing that his legal taste should
decline. That he might be in full com
munion with the spirit and "philosophy
of our language and institutions and of
our legal science 'the law of the law
he studied almost daily other lan-
fnages and other systems of jurispru
ence and of government." Particular
izing these studies, in his latter days, he
tells how he spent a few minutes with
favorite authors English, Greek, Latin
and French "after a lesson from each,
and then the genius of the law beckoned
him away."
His memory seems through exercise
to have been marvelously extensive. In
the trial of the Phoenix Bank, in 1844,
Mr. Webster and Mr. Choate were the
opposing counsels. Mr. Webster, apro
pos of something in the trial, wrote on
a slip of paper a passage from Pope
and passed it to Mr. Choate. It read:
"Iiol where Mceotis sleeps, and softly flows
Tno freezing Tanais through a waste of
snows
Mr. Choate wrote at the bottom,
"Wrong."
"Lol where Mnrtis sleeps and hardly flows
The freezing1 TanaU through a waste of
enowri." "
Mr. Webster rejoined, "Right," and
offered to wager. A messenger was
dispatched for a volume of Pope, when
it appeared that Mr. Choate was cor
rect. With that determination never
to be caught napping, Mr. Webster
wrote on the copy of Pope, "Spurious
edition." Of Choate's power of analy
sis there is no better proof than that
presented by a correspondent. There
was a complicated case of some im
portance in which Mr. Choato had been
retained as counsel, and a full state
ment of the facts were presented to
him by the associate lawyers, who had
jworked up the points. Thero were
thirty in all. When they had all been
read, Mr. Choato said: "Pleaso re
peat Nos. 2G and 27." They were re
peated. He said: "There is some
thing wanting; tho human mind does
not work in that way. The case drifts
on naturally enoughdown to twenty-six,
but there a peculiar complication comes
up, and your statement does not meet
it. At that juncture tho parties, in
fluenced by business habits, by interest
or by desire to overreach each other,
had several courses open to them," and
ho proceeded to indicate each in his pe
culiar way.
Subsequent examinations proved that
Mr. Choate was right.
In his studies, Mr. Choate kept pace
with tho colleges, and with modern
thought as there illustrated. He used
to buy the text-books of Harvard and
Yale, beginning with the freshman
year, and iu effect, graduating with tho
students. I once asked him why he
did this. Ho said: "I don't like to
have those young fellows come out of
college crowing over me; they fresh and
bright, I dull and fusty; wo must habits
ually go back to the elements, first
principles, and note new applications of
them by those whoso special business
is to teach."
A correspondent, long a leader of the
Boston bar, in referring to Mr. Choate's
prcception and sagacity as exceptional,
says: "He could read the mind and
infer the character of a juryman or of a
witness with wonderful readiness and
certainty. I have sat by him In court
when jurors wcrescleetcu.audjwhen wit
nesses, strangers to him, were called,
and been told what ho thought of each
of them in turn, and I cannot remember
an instance in which he was mistaken.'
" Memories of Ituj us Choate"
Society Beauties.
To a plain man the motives which in
duce the spoiled beauty to permit her
photograph to be exhibited in shop win
dows ami stared at by shop-boys and
idle apprentices are inscrutable. How
ever charitably lie is inclined to judge
her, he nee Is inns' attribute it to some
form of vanity. This, however, is a
question for herself, her parents, or,
most often, her husband. If they do
not object, we can but be thankful for
the reflection of her beautiful counte
nance among the hurrying crowds of
the Strand and the elegant idlers of
Bond Street. The amorous clerk may
fill an album with specimens of female
beauty, and dwell in raptures over the
pictured "lips which are for others."
The philosophic student has the oppor
tunity of dispassionately balancing dif
ferent styles of beauty. And yet the so
cial bc-iuty conies perilously close to
tho professional beauty. An old-fashioned
man is most apt to regard with
most favor that female loveliness which
woos retirement. What is perhaps more
likely to touch the society beauty, mar
rying men of late have shown some
thing of a-revulsion of feeling. They
are not found seeking a bride in the
glare of the ball-room, and admiring
her whom many tongues commend.
What the poets term the woodland vio
let, "retired as morning dew," is now
more to their taste. Doubtless the fair
sex is quite prepared to meet this new
tactic of the men In the meantime,
the beaut of society, amid such revo
lutionary idea- is scarcely in her place
in all the photographic shop windows.
In all ages, however, people hare in
lulged a certain amount of curiosity
respecting tlu chief beauties who have
for the time fascinated the lords of cre
ation. One of the most pathetic
jassages in the Iliad dwells upon the
eelings of the old men of Troy as they
aw Helen, resplendent iu her beauty,
teekthc walls. She was the cause of
mnumbered woes to tho city, but still
her grace won their hearts. Doubtless
Cleopatra wa the admiration of all tho
galley slaves in her fleet. To come
nearer our own times, Lely with his
pencil and a crowd of authors with
their pens have celebrated the frail
beauties of the Restoration. There is,
therefore, some justification for the
longing of our society beauties that
their charms should bo duly appraised.
Outside the circles brightened by their
presence, they would graciously per
mit some faint rays of their light to
warm the fancj or a thousand unknown
admirers. So beauty has ever led the
multitude captive at'its chariot wheels.
In this respect, therefore, we are duly
grateful for the boon. These images
of female loveliness, opposite which" a
crowd of idle gazers obstruct the path
way, are another evidence of the phi
lanthropic feelings of tho upper classes.
It is thus that a wandering Peri may
peep through the gates of Paradise.
A story is told of a fashionable curate
who, when told that the ladies looked
at him, exclaimed: ''Let them look
and die!" With more kindly hearts
the fashionable beauties of the day ex
pose their photographs in the shop
windows to the gaze of all beholders,
that the latter may pass by enraptured.

A MULTIPLYING EYE.
Tfce.Trm Story of Trmrellag Mu whi
. Saw Doable.
Mr. Clarkson, a commercial traveler,
was returning to New York from .a six
weeks' absence. He was in the best of
spirits, having booked orders enough to
make him the envy of all the other
agents of his house. He flattered him
self that he looked exceedingly well,
too, and every shining surface that he
passed lured his alert eye that he might
see reflected therein his Grecian figure
and handsome face. The heart of the
commercial agent is prone to vanity as
the rain falls downward.
As he tripped up the stairs of the
Sixth avenue elevated road going up
town, he came very near breaking into
song, he was so happ'. He wished he
could meet some good-looking female
friend, that she might see what a sunny
and smiling spirit he was, even when
saturated with business.
After settling himself in the car his
eye wandered over the passengers in
search of specimens of female Deauty
worthy his admiration.
His gaze was arrested by a young
lady in front of him. She was pretty
and. stylish. Like most of the com
mercial fraternity, Mr. Clarkson adored
style. "She is worth looking at," was
his verdict
Accidentally glancing along his own
side of the car he saw her sitting there,
three seats from him, and directly op
posite where she had been but 'a mo
ment before. Yet he hadn't seen her
move. In fact, his eves had been on
her every instant. lie looked across
the car and there she was in her old
place. He looked again on his side of
the car and she was there, too. Mr.
Clarkson began to doubt ifcie accuracy
of his own eyes. Was there any mis
takeP No. The young lady who
sat on his side of the car was the
same person who sat opposite. There
was the same bright Spanish facQ, the
same lovely dark eyes, the same jaanty
little bonnet, with its yellow and brown
tips, the same modish brown dress, the
same gloves, the same attitude; but
how did she manage to be in two places
at once?
Mr. Clarkson began to feel queer.
He had now approached a point where
amazement merges into fright His
eyes rolled from one side of the car to
the other incessantly and almost un-.
controllably.
He looked at the rest of his fellow
passengers to sec' if they noticed any-;
thing unusual. Evidently they did n6i.'
He watched the young lady the real
one intently, to "see if she were aware
of the phenomenon. Unmistakably
she was not.
When Mr. Clarkson realized this he'
turned very pale. Something was
wrong in his brain. He was seeing two;
women where but one could possibl3'
exist. This was madness. He took oft"
his hat and rubbed his head, having a
blurred idea that the faculty of seeing'
double had probably enlarged that,
casket of thought. He put on his hat
again and was actually astonished to
find that it fitted as well as ever.
Meantime, he kept furtively watch
ing the other passengers, feeling sure
that presently they would all be look
ing at him, and some of them laying
violent hands on him, perhaps.
The damp dews of agony gathered,
on his forehead. "Here" I am,"
he silently soliloquized, "rid
ing along with fifty other people,
looking all right, and j-et as crazy as a
hornet." Then he wondered if he were
likely to get much worse immediately,
and if this strange faculty continued
with him how he would keep his friends
from finding out his condition.
At that moment the young lady rose
to leave the car; and, oh, horrors, so
did her double. What was still moro
surprising, she spoke to the double and
called her "Sister Nettie."
Mr. Clarkson gasped and sank back
in his scat, half fainting with relief.
For him the clouds had instantly rolled
bv. The extra young lady wasn't a
fliostly double of an optical delusion,
he was a twin. Mr. Clarkson went
home a subdued man, with no signs of
the self-conceit about him which had
enveloped him like an aurora but a
half hour before. Louisville Couritr
Journal. HYDROPHOBIA.
Will Science Succeed lit BanUhlng It from
Our Midst?
French science may indeed claim a
new title to the gratitude of humanity.
While granting this, we do not wish to
rush to the hasty conclusion that hydro
phobia is to be banished from our midst;
only, if we can believe our eyes and
ears, it seems that wc are in measur
able distance of this glad state. What
has Pasteur done? He has if our in
formation be accurate, and we have no
reason to doubt itdonc something to
twenty-three dogs, thereby rendering
them, at any rate for a time, incapable
of suffering from rabies. Side by side
with the free animals he has olaeetL
others which may be regarded as ser
vile to the yoke of hydrophobia. Of
the latter series six were bitten bj mad
dogs, three of them becoming mad;
eight were subjected to intravenous
inoculation, all becoming mad; and
five to inoculation by trepanning, all
likewise becoming mad. On this show
ing, sixteen out of nineteen dogs died
when a dose of the virus of rabies was
sown in them; whereas, of twenty-three
protected dogs, none succumbed, al
though the virus was brought in the
most effectual manner into the tissues
of each animal. It is a well known
fact that many more persons are bitten
by rabid animals than suffer
from hydrophobia. What the exact
proportion may be is not satisfactorilv
known, but in dogs it would appear
fhat about half the number bitten be
eonio rabid. There are two explana
tions of the escape. The first is ex
fressed by saying that no virus gets
nto the tissues of the bodv. The sec
ond suggestion, though possible, is less
plain. It is to the effect that some or
ganisms are unsuitable for the devel
opment of the rabid poison. There is
analogy for this contention. Some in
dividuals are believed to be insuscep
tible to the poison of scarlet fever, and
this statement also applies to other
acute specific diseases. The ques
tioner of nature mav ask how these
facts are to be explained? And al
though we are on very unsafe ground,
still science does afford some clew
to a possible explanation. If wc re
member rightly, Sir James Paget has
asserted his belief that a severe attack of
typhoid fever may do awav with the pro
tection afforded bv a previous attack
of small-pox. Typhoid fever so modi
fies the constitution that the proto
plasmic organism once again becomes
favorable to the growth and develop
ment of the germs of small-pox. Inoc-
uiuuu un me attenuated virus of
hydrophobia gives a dog immunity
from the disease, just as similar treat
ment preserves a sheep from char
bon; m other words, the physical basis
of the canine organism is so altered
that it no longer affords nourishment
for the evolution of the poison of
rabies. Lancet.

Wast We Outlive,
There is a little French phrase whieh'
sums up in six words one s whole ex-,
perience of life: "Tout passe; tout casse?
tout lasse" everything passes, breaks, j
fatijrues in time. It is a question
j of time only. We outlive everything
, in turn from the fresh delights of
childhood, through the deeper joys of
adolescence and the grave satistactinn
of successful maturity.down to the very
peace of old age.
First of the links which fall from the
golden chain is that phantasamagoric
and unreal state we call childhood
that state which makes its own world
apart from tho real life going on about
it and lives in shadows and dreams,
created by imagination, acting ou and
through ignorance. Tho griefs which
were so violent then as almost to break
our heart would now be no heavier than
thistledown, no more substantial than
a cloud. The joys which made the glad
earth a childish paradiso tenanted by
cherubs for playmates and angels for
guardians would now be intolerable if
they had to be endured. It is all out
lived, and we stand on the burial place
of that young past different in all save
name and continued individuality.
In youth the doubts and fears which
so terribly affected us are uowas' vague
ami unsubstantial as are the former
sorrows of childhood. Before we kuew
our powor, or had measured exactly
the space we should occupy in the his
tory of our time and the esteem of soci
ety what an inlinitudo of these doubts
and fears distracted us! We were so un
certain of ourselves, if we were sensi
tive and without much assertion; or if
of tho more sanguine kind, we made so
many bold flights which ended in igno
minious tumbles into the gutter, be
fore we learned the exact strength of
our pinions and what we could do and
what we could not! Tho invitations to
high places which gave us so much
anxious consideration about the correct
shibboleth the triumphs which were
pain rather than pleasure because of shy
ness and modesty tho bright burning
hopes which seemed as if they would
go on forever like the sun aud tho stars
and which ended in smoke aud
mudge!
And then our love affairs! Tho sleep
less nights we have had because she
was cross or he was cold; because she
flirted in the corner with Tom and he
gave his arm to the supper-room to
Jane! And in return the wild, unrea
soning delight when the idol of the mo
ment graciously winked its precious
eyes and gave a sign of understanding
our prayer! It has all passed. And we
have outlived our love for Tom, or mar
ried Jane which certain cynics say
comes to much the same thing. At all
events, if we have married, we have
outlived fear and know the best and the
worst of our portion.
In like manner, if we go on long
enough, we outlive the proud joy of
fulfilled ambition. The honor which
we gave our life to gain becomes to us
a mere pinch of dust a mere name,
when our vitality has waned and we
care no more for things of the world ;
when pleasure itself has fallen from us,
and we want only rest and peace. We
need only to go on long enough to como
to this: "Tout jiasse; tout casse; lout
Insse!" While, however, any energy
lives in us at all, and before wo come
to the last sad stage when we are
merely living mummies, held together
b a slender thread of life there arc
certain things we do not and ought not
to outlive these are : Love of truth,
love of beauty, love of humanity. Wo
love our kind best when we love all
that is beautiful and good most ; and,
without love of our kind, life is a grim
and ghastly satire. We need never
outlive these things while tho poor frail
machine of tho body does its work.
And with those we shall always find
wells of happiness and floods of sun
shine whatever our outward circum
stances may be. Home Journal.

Englishmen and Hindus.
With all the intimacy, and even
equality, that exists between English
and native gentlemen when they are
associated for purposes of business,
Shore can, generally speaking, be no
exchange of hospitalities of ordinary
kinds, as among people of the came
nation. Besides the difficulty presented
by the customs-of private life, there is
the other impediment above referred to
the rules and practice of caste. We
are invited to an entertainment, let us
say, with some other English people by
a Hindu gentleman of rank. If any
one thinks he will here have an oppor
tunity of roalizing his visions of Eastern
banquets and Eastern manners he will
be disappointed. It is a big English
dinner; but there is no host. The man
who is in the position of host feeds his
English guests after their manner, and
he keeps to his own. He will see them
by and by when the eating is over. Or
if the Hindu gentleman comes invited
to some English entertainment he does
not eat with the Europeans or take of
their food elsewhere. He may sit beside
them at dinner, but more commonly he
stays away, or sits in another room till
this is over. We see at onco that this
is something quite different from social
distinctions among ourselves. It means
neither difference of rank nor undesira
ble company. It is a requirement of
his inherited state as a Hindu, but it is
.no pieco of family pride. And there is
no blamo to him "that his way is not
ours. There it is, however, enforcing,
without any natural reasons of tho kind
just referred to, a separation in respect
of this most social of all social customs,
especially sacred from ancient times
among Eastern nations, where the man
"that eats of another's salt," "he that
.eateth bread with him," is the familiar
description of the close associate or the
friendly guest This is nothing, of
course, in itself, People can get on very
well without eating together. Tho hin
drance to social equality is not in this
rule and practice, which is a mere out
ward thing, but in the idea which under
lies it which implies a necessary dis
tinction and separation, though neces
sary on ono side only. We see tho rela
tion which this assumes between the
one and the other, as between race and
race or class and class, though there is
no pretension of superiority in the indi
vidual. This obstacle, too, is begin
ning to give way. National Review.

TON BOWL-
Uoc!r as Large as a Small Cottage Scat
tered Orer Long Inland and
Connecticut.
Erratic bowlders is a geological term
to indicate large rocks found ou tho
surface of the ground at a distance from
the place of their origin. Some of these
displaced rocks are known to exist at a
distance of hundreds of miles from their
former ltcation like uiav that are
found in this State and on Lo:ij Island
and in Massachusetts. Tho theory of
the geologists is that those great rocks,
which are in maiy instances as large as
a small cottage, were carried on moving
masses of ice during that indefinite and
mvsterious time called the
6,u,u Fc
riod. Some of them were so
by the melting or breaking
deposited
ice as to
leave them to this day curiously bal
anced on the point of contact on which
they rest. These, known as "rocking
stones" and "balanced rocks," are in
some instances so nicely poised that,
ponderous as they are, souie of them can
be sensibly rocked with some ex
ertion of strength by the hand, while
it would require a much greater force
to overthrow them. Of these bal
anced rocks there are several examples,
not only abroad, but in New England.
A notable one exists iu Lanesborough,
iu Berkshire County, Mass. Connecti
cut is wll sprinkled with the ice-boruo
bowlders, though we believe our State
has few or no rocking stones. One of
tho largest of the bowlders and it is
thought to be the biggest one in the
country is in thi- Stale, in the New
London county town of Montville. on
the west side of the Thames . River, be
tween Norwich and New London. This
big lock has just been photographed- It
is locally known as the Shehegan rock,
and is forty-live feet high and seventy
feet long. By the best engineering esti
mates its weight is 10,000 tons. 'I hat is
a pretty solid load, even for a traveling
iceberg to carry. Ages ot rain and lrost
have told on itby splitting off big frag
ments one of which is sixty feet long
and has an average thickness of twelve
feet its estimated weight, 1,200 tons,
considerably exceeding that of the en
tire rock called "Pierre a Martin," the
largest of the granite bowlders among
the limestone ledges of the Jura Moun
tains in Switzerland. The next largest
rock of the glacial deposits in Now En
gland is said to Ho at tin foot of a
mountain in Nottingham, ic southeast
ern New Hampshire; it 13 called the
Churchill rock, and is sixty-two feet
long, forty feet wide, and fifty feet high;
but its weight is believed to be 4,000
tons less than that of the Montville rock.
The erratic granite bowlder out of which
was hewn the statue of Peter the Great
at St. Petersburg, was forty-two feet
long, twenty-seven feet broad, and
twenty-one feet high. It is said the fa
mous Plymouth Rock on which the Pil
grims landed is an erratic bowlder of

A Useful "Faculty."
An old problem of the psychologists
has been revived by a letter to La Xa
lure, written by a French business man,
who mentions that for years he had
been in the habit of waking himself at
any hour in the morning that he wished.
simply by impressing.upon his mind,
before going to sleep, the fact that he
must wake at that time; and saying
further that he seldom varies five min
utes from the moment which he has as
signed himself. The New York Evening
Post, in speaking of lhis etter, says that
Napoleon I. is related to have had the
same faculty, but adds that its existence
has never been verified. We imagine
that this experience is net so rare as tho
Evening Post supposes, aud that a per
son need not be a Napoleon to be fa
vored with this useful "faculty." Wo
have a very distinct recollection of many
instances in which wc have ourselves
tried the experiment with success, and
at one time, when it was necessary for
a considerable period fo us to wake on
certain days of the week at a very early
Ivour, to tike the first train to the place
where our services were then needed,
wc had an opportunity of studying the
circumstances under which this pecu
liar species of self-control is most easily
exercised. During this period we found
no difficulty iu waking regularly within
about five minutes of the time necessary
to enable us to reach the train comfort
ably, although for a portion of the time
this involved getting up long before
daylight; but we discovered, also, that
in order to wake with precision
at the right moment and to
rest quietly until it arrived, it
was necessary to look at our watch just
before going to sleep, if we neglected
this precaution we were apt to sleep
uneasily, waking first an hour or more
before the proper time, and allowing
ourselves, in consequence, only short
naps aftcrwaAl until the minute arrived
for getting up. Whatever part of out
mind it might have been that look charge
of waking us it .ceined to begin its
count of the hours from the time at
which we composed ourselves to sleep,
and if we did not inform ourselves ol
this, our unconscious reckoning was
correspondingly uncertain, and the ef
fort to wake vague; but if we took a
clear note of the time in the evening,
we could sleep peacefully through the
whole of the allotted interval, sure ol
being aroused at or very near its expi
ration. Another condition of waking
we found to be the occurrence of some
small external vent, through which, as
it were, the internal effort could take
effect upon our senses. A verv trifling
circumstance the flutter of a leaf out
side the window, the chirp of a bird, or
any other of the unnumbered sounds of
early morning was sufficient, if it hap
pened at the light time, to wake us, by
a sort of magnifying process which at
that moment gave the power of startling
us by a noise which would at other times
be unnoticed; bHt without such sensible
impression we think we should not have
waked. In fact on one or two occa
sions, wc remember to have been im
pressed with a dim consciousness of
waiting for something to happen before
waking, and a moment later a trifling
sound would open our senses with a
little shock. To the necessity of wait
ing for this impression, small as it might
be, we were disposed to attribute The
variation of a minute or two cither way
from the exact moment assigned for
waking, which might otherwise be
kept with exact punctuality. American

Kli1i Miirfater to Central America.
Sir William Gore Ouseley, who came
to Wfishi.igtou as a special envoy to
Central America, stopping on his way
in 1858, had visited Washington twenty
eight years previous, as attache to the
British Government, tu; Jer Sir Charles
Vaughan, and while here he entered
personally into a treaty of permanent
peace and amity with the United States,
by marrying the daughter of Governor
Van Ness, of Vermont Miss Van
Ness was a young lady of great beauty,
who was here visiting her uncle. Gen
eral Van Ness. He had come here as
a member of Congress from New York
State, married Miss Marcia Burns,
daughterof the original owner of tho
Metropolis, and taken up his residence
here. Sir William was a son of Sir
William Ouseley, distinguished a a
Persian antiquarian; and several mem
bers of his family had filled public posi
tions in the church and state. Having
been for some time Minister to Brazil
and afterwards to Buenos Ayres, his
acquaintance with the Spanish race,
language and literature was probably
superior to that of any other English
man. Personally friendly with Mr.
Buchanan, and knowing many of our
public men, it was thought that he was
the man to aid in putting an end to the
imbroglio which then involved the re
lations of Great Britain, the United
States and Central America, It was
his great desire that filibustering should
be checked. This was not agree
able intelligence to those who
had Invested in Nicaraguan
or Luban bonds, but they had" to
bear in mind the motto on the armorial
shield of the Ouseleys, mors lupi aquis
vita "the death of "the wolf is life to
the lamb." Sir William brought his
cook and butler, and not only gave
dinners to Senators and diplomats, but
evening parties. At the first one of
these held. Lady Ouseley wore a rich
blue brocade, trimmed with a honiton
lace bertha, with a wreath of blue
flowers upon her hair, fastened at each
side by a diamond brooch; Miss Lane,
the President's uieco, wore a black
tulle gown, ornamented with bunches
of gold leaves, a head-dress of gold
grapes, wilh a pearl neck-lace; Mme.
Stoecki, the wife of the Russian Minis
ter, wore a white silk gown, with black
lace flounce, cherry-colored flowers,
and gold beads; Mrs. Pendleton, whose
husband was then a Representative in
Congress from the Cincinnati district
wore a white silk skirt, with a blue
tunic, trimmed with bright colors; Mrs.
Dan Sickles, of New York, wore a blue
silk gown, with rich point lace flounces,
and Etruscan jewelry. Among the
gentlemen present were Lord Napier,
Edward Everett, Jacob Thompson,
John Applcton, Count Sartiges, Gen
eral Robles, and a hirzo number of
Senators and Representatives, with a
few journalists. Miss Ouseley, who was
very intimr.te with Miss Lane, was the
first lady who wore a balmoral scarlet
petticoat at Washington. Sir William
remained here for nearly a year, and
when the President and Miss Lane took
their sunyiier flight to Bedford Springs,
Lord and Lady Ouseley, with their
daughter anil a daughter of Senator
Bright, accompanied them. Vh Pcr

A HAIR-BREADTH ESCAPE.
mu
Nye'4 Ksperlcnce with
Wild
Wisconsin Cyclone.
Those who know me best will re
member that I have never, openly or
secretly, written or or uttered a senti
ment that could in any way be warped
into an adverse criticism of the cyclone.
Whatever I may have learned or ob
served derogatory to the cyclone and
its cruel and treacherous nature, I
have religiously kept to myself.
And what is my reward for this?
Like a peaceful l?te, stealing up
through the sheltering ambush to saw
open the windpipe of a dear friend,
comes the ring-tail peeler of the sky,
scarcely moving the green leaves as
he steals along the valley on his hind
legs. The air is like the atmosphere
of 'death. No sound is heard except
the dull thud of the woodman's ax as
it buries itself in the heart of a pine
tree that belongs to some one else.
The sun has dropped behind a dull
gray cloud that is faced with pale
green. Still lower down the steel gray
and purple clouds come boiling over
the tree-tops. The tree-toad makes a
few desultory remarks, Katy-did says
"good evening," and the premature
twilight has Come. Up from the south
west comes a sullen mutter, a crash,
a roar, like twenty oceans in
joint caucus, the rush of falling trees,
the crash of giant hailstones, the
thunder of falling waters and like the
deadly charge of heaven's artillery, it
is over. That is a cyclono one of the
adult variety when it is feeling well.
When you see one of that kind sliding
up into the sky, do not try to twist its
tail as it goes by. It takes a strong,
quick man to reach out over the dash
lfbard and twist the tail of a cyclone.
He must be strong in the wrists, cool
headed and soon in movements.
The cyclone which visited Northern
Wisconsin on the 9th instant was about
a mile and a half wide, and lasted
through a period of time, I should
say, such as would be measured in pro
nouncing the word "scat!" in an or
dinary tone of voice. It blew down
threeclArches, sparing all the saloons,
jerked the school buddings crooked,
knocked the post-oftlce sillv and demol
ished a dozen stores and places of busi
'ness. It killed two of the most prom
ising young men and the purest Chris
tian woman in the village. Then it
went out into the forest where I was
riding along, attending to my own
business, tipped me over and broke my
leg. Everywhere it sought out the
young and fair. It spared the old, the
sinful and the tough, but spfnt its fury
on the tender, the good, the true and
the beautiful. Is it surprising that it
jerked me galley west? No, indeed! I
am only surprised that I am alive.
Denver Opinion.
The Brain's Minor Gateways.
How much of the pleasure of living
comes from the exercise of the little
considered senso of taste or that of
smell it is hard to estimate. Harriet
Martineau, the English authoress,
seems to have been one of the few
persons having no sense of taste, as a
recent writer asserts that she was en
tirely destitute of it. She reported
that the faculty came to her once, when
the deliciousncsv of a leg of mutton
aroused an eager anticipation of the
enjoyment of her next dinner; but
nothing came of it, for her tasteing
power was withdrawn as suddenly as
it had been given. The sense of smell
was atao denied her, as it was Words
worth. In his case the lacking sense
also appeared on a single occasion, when
he "smelled a beau-lif-ld and thought
it HfeaTen." Arkannaw Traveler.
On walking upon or disturbing the
sand of certain beaches a peculiar
sound is heard, which has been de
scribed as somewhat resembling the
bark of a dog. The sound seems to
arise from the friction of particles of
drv saud. Until recently these so
called siuging beaches have been
known to exist at only two places, one
in Europe aud one "in this country,
but sampies of the singing sands have
been collected in no less than twenty
six localities in the United States. -Boston

At the Michigan Central depot the
ether day three or four citi.e:i3 who
happened to be waiting for the same
train to o ni'.o iu got to ttlking about
confidence niua and their v ct:us, and
ocp of then pointed out a particularly
verdant .specimen of youug-mau-fruin-the-couulry.
and said-
"That fellow would be a ripe subject
for the fraternity. The c'.ances are
that ho could be bamboo.led as easy as
rolling o.l"a h';r-"
"I duuno." leplied another. "Sup
pose you work ou him a litiL- as an ex
pe imeut Here is a check which I
will till out aud I'll io.no in at the
right timo as your pal."
The idea was entered into, and in a
few minutes No. I put himself in tho
way of tho greeuhoru ami mado some
inquiries about the trains and ascer
tained that the stranger was going to
Michigan City.
"So? Why, I'm going right thero
invsulf. I own a big saw-mill there."
"Yew de-.v.eh?"
"Yes, ami I'm hore looking for a
foreman. 1 have a boss place for amau
at sixty dollars a month."
"That's me to a huckleberry. I've
worked in saw-mills all my life."
"You can have tho place, and I'm
glad to get hold of such a man. Con
sider yourself engaged for a year at
sixty dollars per month."
"Snakes and torn cats, but ain't that
luck!" chuckled greeny. "Stranger,
you must be an awful good man."
"Well, I ruu a Sunday-school and
try to live an upright life. Maybe vou
want a month's salary in advance?''
"Woogh! yew don't say so! No, I
guess I can git along, beiiiir as I have
forty-live dollars in my wallet."
At this moment the pal came up with
the usual bill, which must be paid at
once or the newsaws for the mill would
not be shipped. No. 1 had only three
or four dollars in bills, but offered a
check for $200. Following out tho
usual programmegreenhorn was aked
to hand over his forty-live dollars and
take the check as security. The words
wore hardly off the man's lips when
greeny spit on both hands at once, shot
out with his right ami left in chorus,
and there was a thump! thump! which
knocked two men flatter than pan
cakes. "Softly, gentlemen softly !" com
manded greeny as half a doen men
rushed up. "I look like a last year's

Crime Exposed.
Only a few months ago the papers
gave an instance of the acuteness of a
trench detective. A man had mur
dered his female companion and buried
her body in a cellar. The corpse was
discovered and the man then said that
the woman had killed herself by falliug
down stairs, and that he had buried
her secretly fearing to be accused of
her death. He as-erted that this "ac
cident" took place in the autumn, in
October. The detective observed tho
traces of smoke on the ceiling. "You
had a candle when you buried the
body," he remarked, and was answered
in the affirmative. "And you say you
only entered this cellar on that one day
in October?" The suspected man
again averred- it. "You aro speaking
falsely," retorted the detective, and
showod the murderer, between the
crevices of the ceiling, the half con
sumed larva; of certain insects which
only lay in the spring, and which had
been burnt by his candle at the timo
when he had actually buried his victim.
How often has a clover forgery been
detected by some keen observer who
noted some very trifling oversight in
the skillful fraud. Forged wills have
been found out from the water-mark of
the paper not tallying with their date.
There is a story of a false will being
once propounded in a French court,
and the forgery was so skillful that it
appeared impossible to deny the docu
ment s authenticity, though certain
circumstances caused its genuineuess
to bo suspected. It was drawn, not on
ordinary paper but on tho back of a
map of France professedly over a cen
tury old. The name of the publisher
of the map was in the corner, together
with the date, and the words, "Geog
rapher to the King." Though the rel
atives who were injured by the will felt
convinced that a fraud was being prac
ticed upon them, redress seemed hope
less. But a clever lawyer discovered
that, at the time of the supposed pub
lication of the map, tho dignity of
"Geographer to tho King" had not
been conferred upon the map maker.
The name was correct, that of a well
known publisher of charts in his day,
and he had been permitted to assume
the title the forger had added, but not
till some years after the date of the
forged map. Investigations clearly
proved that tho geographer never as
sumed tho title till it was legally con
ferred upon him, and never afterward
published a map without adding it;
tho map, as well as the will written
upon its back, was a forgery, detected
by an observer of unusual acuteness.--London

A Good Name Is Money.
A farmer's name has a commercial
value as well as that of the merchant
If every man who grows a bushel of
fruit, makes a pound of butter or
cheese, or who, in fact, is to have any
product for home or distant market
will resolve that.ho will this year pack
his stuff in the neatest possible form,
pack only the best, and properly brand
the packages, he may be sure that he
is laying the foundation of a good
name which will be worth many dollars
to him in the future. Let it be remem
bered that the honest commission man
has the same interest in procuring top
market prices as has the producer,
whose goods he handles. He. there
fore, prefers to deal with honest con
signers, intelligent enough to put up
only the best, and in the most approved
manner. When lie secures a patron of
this kind he takes extra pains to sell to
the best advantage. He trades on the
name. The name is money to him as
well as to its owner. Honest commis
sion men are not phenomenal. Parker
Earle, President of the Mississippi Val
ley Horticultural Society, in his ad
dress before that body last winter, said:
I have had something to do with com
mission fruit merchants for nearly a
quarter of a century, having done busi
ness with over one hundred and fifty
of them in some eighty cities of twenty
States and Provinces, without ever
having consciously been cheated out of
a dollar in all that acquaintance." It
may be set down as a fact, therefore,
that the producer who has determined
to establish a good name, if merely
for the money there is in it can secure
a powerful ally in the man whom he
chooses to handle bis products, if that
man lias an equal care for the money
value ol his own good name. Sell the
best; put it in the best marketable
form, label it so that every purchaser
will know exactly from whom it came,
and the rest the profits will be forth
coming. Prairie armer.
