Beeeher ON UmbreIla- Borrowing.

Mr.. Beeeher writes in the Ledger
One thing | cannot and will not

publishing house in New York who says
and circuates that borrowed that dis
tinguished traveller and very clever fell
low DE Chaillu's umbrella, and did not
return it on demand 1t was alleged to
be the umbrella that he had taken with
him around the world with which he
had kept the Kopts of Egypt from tan
ming; had preserved salamanders from
sunstroke; had sheltered ducks and frogs
in Africa from getting wet; and with
which in Norway and Sweden he had
played fast and loose with the winds.
Now this whole charge deny. That
| brought off my own umbrella safely
from that establishment has always been
matter of grateful wonder to me. But
that l bagged the well-worn and world
renowned umbrella of the African trav-
eler, do aver is not in accord with the
truth of history.
Not that / feel above taking a good
umbrella--indeed, score would not re-
pay the number lent and not returned.

rowed doughnuts and gingerbread, and

Washington Correspondence Boston Post.l 4
A good story is told of Grant, showing
his wisdom in the matter of making ap-
pointments. He appointed judge to
an important court in the District. AT
once he was called upon by the other
District judges, who represented the
dense ignorance of the new appointee.
One and all asserted that the novice
knew no law. ~
"Pm sure that cant be so" said
Grant, for ] am assured on the very
best authority that he has been studying
law for the last eleven months
Another good and true story is told
about how a certain treasury clerk
lunched with the Prince of Wales when
he went abroad syndicating. One day
in the streets of London this syndicator
met the Marquis of Ripon, late Earl de
Grey, Chief Of the High Joints, and at
once rushed into his arms, so to speak
Delighted to meet. your lordship," he
exclaimed effusively. Don't you re-
member me2 | showed your lordship
through the treasury at Washington"
"Ah, = said the Marquis, charmed,
/ m sure All, much obliged" ~
Not at all, not at all, " the syndicator
hastened to reply. " No trouble; so glad
to meet you again. Where does your
lordship liver Here the Prince of
Wales lnterposed, and thinking to bluff
the enthusiastic American, said to the
Marquis of Ripon:
Let's go to lunch"
Before the Marquis could answer, the
syndicator fastened to accept the invita-
ton for himself, and followed the two,
Prince and Marquis, into fashionable
resort and actually lunched with the
heir to the British throne. Said heir not
having drunk deeply of the typhus cup
of poison, was not wrought up to that
pitch when he would be thankful for the
ability to lunch at all, so was not de-
voutly grateful for the meal. Not so the
syndicator, who never fails, since his re-
turn to the land and Office which begot
him, to make delicate illusions to the
day 81 had that delicious lunch with
Wales and Ripon, you know"

Anecdote of Maior Throckmorton.

Once upon time, it is told that the
lamented Major Throckmorton was in a
game of cards with Walker Holloway
and others. One of the party accused
Walker of cheating. Yes" said the
Major, promptly speaking up, "and l
indorse what he says" Walker was at
that day stalwart fellow, and pluck to
the backbone. He calmly rose, and,
pulling off his coat in the act, said, "Sir,
III try your manhood on that" His
adversary followed suit, and, divesting
himself Of all superfuous clothing, threw
himself in a fighting attitude. At it
they went, and Walker thrashed the fell
low in quick time. The Major himself,
one of the gamest men that ever lived,
had looked on in admiration, for he loved
brave men. But in a moment Walker
turned to him and said Now, sir, as
you indorse this charge, I'm ready for
you" well, Walker" said "0ld
Throck," since i have seen that little
transaction I've changed my opinion"

Wherever their Arnica has been tried il has

to state that besides the advantage resulting
from the use Of this remedy, the purchase Of
the same is a great act Of charity, as thus an
assistance is afforded to the poor religious

THE next morning Lisette, usually
an early riser, slept until ten o'clock.
We said nothing TO her of what we had
witnessed, nor told it to any one else
that day. On the second night after we
were awakened about the same hour by
similar performance in the parlor.
We went in again. The pieces played
were all classic, mostly from Handel
one or two from Beethoven-and their
execution perfect; only one of which
had ever been played in her hearing
Between each she made remarks and
criticisms as naturally as if she were
some accomplished performer presiding
at the piano, and not our little nurse

These performances being repeated
every alternate night after, became
somewhat annoying especially since
Lisette seemed to be declining rapidly.
The physician prescribed for her, but
never seemed to understand her case.
He witnessed the musical performances.
He said she was undoubtedly asleep the
whole time at the piano. On one occa-
sion she turned to him and said:

Mestern EIoquence.

The following choice and classical bit
of eloquence in the Illinois Legislature
is said to have been one of the main
causes of the defeat of the Chicago
burned records bill. The honorable
members name is not given, but his

From the Washington hepuohean.J
Mr.. Lay, of the navy, has invented a
torpedo which is now before Congress,
and for which he asks one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, provided it does
all he claims for it. He proposes to be
able to send it out two miles at sea, keep
it under perfect control from the shore
by electricity, and direct it under a ship
and blow it up, or to let it proceed one
mile and cause it to return without ex-
ploding, showing the perfect control he
has over the Internal machine. 1t is
proposed that board of naval officers
shall examine it and certify that it has
all the merits claimed. If what is said
of the machine is true, it viii create a
complete revolution in naval warfare,
and provide another means Of defense
against a foreign invasion. AS naval
officers would have to use it in time of
war, they oppose its adoption unless the
most periee. tests are made by expert
enced officers. 4H asU Nalatl af
