BEST MEN IN THE COUNTRY,

ANECDoTE OF VoN WEBER.-The following
anecdote of Weber, the illustrious composer,
presents him in a new and unexpected light
aud will be read with interest:
I was in London in 1911. Weber was in q
boat on the river with some ladies, and began
to perform on the fate, which he played to
great perfection. But seeing that his boat was
followed closely by another, in which were
several young officers, he put his flute in his
pocket.
"Why do you stop playing ?" said one of the
officers to Weber.
For the same reason that began" replied
the composer.
"And that is 7"
" Because it pleases me-"
"Well, them" said the officer, "take up your
flute again, or it will please me to throw you
into the water"
The composer, seeing that the dialogue was
unpleasant to the ladies he was with. gave way
and began playing again. When leaving the
boat however he accosted the bold son of
Mars, and said "Sir, the fear of annoying the
people who were with me made me brook your
insolence, but tomorrow / will have satisfac-
lion. We can meet in Hyde Park at 10 o'clock.
If you have no objection we will fight with
swords; we need no seconds; the quarrel is
only between you and me, and il is quite USE
less to bring in strangers"
The officer accepted the challenge. He was
at the rendezvous at the appointed hour, and
met Weber, as agreed on. He drew his sword
and put himself on his guard, when Weber put
pistol at his throat. "Do you wish to mur-
der me I" said the officer. NO." said Weber;
"but be kind enough to put up that sword and
dance minute, or you are dead man."
The officer made some objection, but the au-
thoritative and determined tone of Weber
seemed to influence him, and notwithstanding
the arrival of some people on the scene of &C.
ton, he went through what he was asked, or
rather told, to do. "Sir," said the musician,
"you compelled me yesterday to play against
my wish; have now compelled you to dance
against yours Our bond is over. However,
should you be dissatisfied still, l am quite ready
to give you any satisfaction you may wish fol"
The officer held out his hand and begged his
adversary to honor him with his friendship.
From that moment an attachment sprang up
between them which lasted to the day the il
lustrious composer died.

A CoNsrDERATE JUDGE.-A regular term
of the Circuit Court for Benton county, Ore
gon, commenced short time ago, Judge Thay-
er presiding. During the Term the weather
cleared up, the winter rains giving way to fine
spring weather, whereupon Judge Thayer ad-
journed Court for three weeks, to permit the
farmers who were in attendance on the Court,
either as litigants or jurors, to go home and
put in their spring crops. That is what we
call sensible action on the part of Court,
and is about the deadest thing we have heard
of on reelection.
