SRvERAL individuals have been
recommended, by several newspa-
pers, as being especially qualified for
the office of Speaker, of the next
Legislature. We too, have our choice,
but, as the election Of Speaker be-
longs exclusively to the Legislature,
we deem it departure from the line
of safe precedents, to interfere in the
matter. Such departures have al
ready worked serious mischief and
we oppose all lobbying. If the Leg
islature is not competent to the dis
charge of Its duties, let us invite 1t to
resign; If 1t Is competent, let US not
interfere with needless advice, or inn
pertinent suggestions.

A New STORY OF DANIEL WEBSTER
A writer in the Boston Transcript tells
this story, never before given to the pub
lie:
Mr.. Webster, as is we'll known, was very
apt in his classical quotations-although
less varied and less persistent in his study
of ancient authors than was his friend
Rufus Choate. ses gs- q. - -
Impecuniosity was regarded as an often
inirmity' of Mr.. Webster-and this, or a
temporary absence from home, gave rise
to the following incident when he was liv-
ing in New Hampshire: Af94 AA
A professional brother, resident in an
other place, had endorsed q note for him
to one of the Portsmouth banks, and was
notified at its maturity that the same. had
not been paid. He Immediately wrote to
Mr.. Webster and requested his attention
to it. The reply was to the following ef-
feet:
t'Giye yourself, my friend, no uneasiness
about the matter. My appeal to the bank
has been as that of Nisus to the Rituli of
old, to avert the impending fate of his
friend Euryalus. Ne, me, adsttns qai jeci;
IN me c0nUertitd, ferTunl.n
+ To his appreciating classical surety on
the note it was not necessary to give the
literal translation-"I am present who did
the deed against me, me only, turn the
weapon of your warfare" Suffice it to
say that the appeal to the bank was, in
this instance, a successful one-and the
surety, as heinformed me, had no further
trouble in the matter.I AZ kI1aaS3
