Isaac Hoppsr.-The following charac-
teristic anecdote of Hopper, the Phi
lanthropist, is taken from his published
life
One day while friend Hopper was
visiting wealthy family in Dublin, a
note was handed to him inviting him
to dine the next day. When he read
il aloud his host remarked:
"Those people are very respectable,
but not of the irst circle. They be-
long to our church, but not exactly to
our set. Their father was mechanic" !"
"Well, am mechanic myself"
said Isaac. Perhaps if thou hadst
known that fact thou wouldst not have
invited men'
= Is ii possible Y exclaimed he host,
"that man of your information and
appearance can be mechanic ?R
"a followed the business of tailor
for many years." rejoined his guest
:. Look at my hands. Dost thou not
see The mark of the shears? Some of
the Mayors of Philadelphia have been
tailors. When | lived there ! often
walked the streets with the Chief JUS
tice. It never occurred to me that it
was any special honor, and don't think
il did To him."
