ANECDOTE OF MACREADY.
From the London TimeU. |


The following anecdotc of the late
distinguished tragedan has not hitherto
been published: "At the time the atroci-
ties of Burke and Hare had excited the
most intense horror through the width
and length ofthe land, it may be remem
bered the guilt Of Burke could only be
proved by admitting Hare as evidence
for the Crown. After the execution of
Burke, Hare was liberated, and rumor
stated that he had gone, or was going
to his friends in Ireland. Just at that
tine Mr.. Macready had completed sue
cessful engagement at Glasgow, and EN-.
barked in the steamer for Belfast to de-
light the inhabitants of that wealthy city
with a display of his tragic powers. The
passage was, unfortunately, delayed by
storm of the most violent nature, the
wind blowing hurricane, and the deuse
darkness being only broken by vivid
flashes of lightning. The vessel was
well nigh unmanageable, and all the
passengers had gone below for safety,
save one, who, wrapped closely in a
cloak, with solemn footsteps paced the
deck, and ever and anon muttered some
incoherent words to the warning elements
The attention and establishment of the
crew were excited, and at length il was
suggested that the muffled figure, whose
proceedings were so remarkable, was the
e; capped murderer Hare, and that the
fear. al storm they encountered was the
Divine veDgence pursuing the guilty
wretch. Actuated by this feeling, they
determined TO cast the wretched Jonas
from the essel, and approached him
unanimously .'or the purpose, when the
officers ofthe Gtch came to the rescue.
The wrath of the sailors, however, was
not appeased till Mr.. Macready told them
who he was, and displayed his theatrical
dresses as proof of his indemnity.

When trade grew slack and bills fell due
the mercRnt's face grew long and blue. AT
last his wife unto him said, "Rise up at once
and get your pen, and say these words unto
all men; MY goods I wish to sell to you
unto yon wives and daughter too +; my prices
are SO very low, that all will buy before
they co." He did as his good wife advised,
and in the paper advertised. Crowds came
aud bought, his bills were paid, his dreams
were glad l., and he will tell you to this day
how well did printers ink repay. He told
us with knowing wiki, how he was served
! by printer ink.

Mr. Labor developed these points at con.

legalized, aud that any consequences Of
the sale thus legalized could not be punish

Mr.. McMulen and Mr. Lakin on the
other side argued that no clause of the
Constitution with which the Graham
liquor law conflicts had been pointed out
that it was not intended to punish remOt'
consequences; that the state might author.
ize an sct and punish its consequences
as it did freedom of speech, but punished
its abuse; that law similar to the Graham
liquor law was in force In other states but
that its c0nstitutlonality had never been
questioned.
Mr.. Wallber closed the argument. re-
viewing at length the points raised by
Messrs. McMullen and Lakin.
As the defendants counsel admits the
rights of the Legislature to control and
prohibit the sale of liquor, the inference
is that it can use it's discretion In the
matter. Besides, it is one Of the express
conditions on which the license is granted
that man shall pay the damages result

The following little story is narrat-
ed by Frederika Bremen, who vouch-
es for It's truthfulness Il @ afasT.
In the University of Upsula, in
Sweden, lived noble youth, with a
great love for studies,b but without the
means of pursuing them. He was
poor and without connections, Still
he studied, living in great poverty
but keeping cheerful heart, and try
ing to look at the future, which look
ed so grimly at him. His good hui
NOR and excellent qualities made him
beloved by his young comrades. One
day he was standing with some of
them in the great square of Upsula,
prattling away an hour of leisure,
when the attention Of the young man |
became arrested by young and ele-
giant lady, who, at the side of an eld-
erly one, was slowly walking over the
place. 1t was the only daughter of
the Governor of Upsula, living in the ,
city, and the lady with her was thefi
governess. She was generally known =
for her gentleness OF character. andl.

the students. As the young menI1

ROUGH ON THE YouNa MAN.-The reason why
a certain young gentleman did not put in his
presence at the Independent speaking here on
Monday night may be briefly stated as fol.
lows; He had made arrangements to GO with
his girl at eight O'Clock. About seven he went
down to the BARRIERS and getting nice shave,
started up to his boarding house to dress. He
put on oil his duds, broadcloth pants, white
vest, ETC., and then reached forth into his collar
box, which horrible to relate, was empty He
had only bought box OF collars few days be-
fore, but several young men who stop at the
same boarding house had gone through the box
that evening while he was getting shaved. Vent
ing little mild profanity upon the collar thieves
he started down town on a dead run for box
of collars. Rushing into store he called for
No. 14Ha linen finish, but the mud headed clerk
chucked him out a box Of 1917 (as they always
do) with q flaming cut of big scarlet fat wom
an on the cover. Inside of three minutes the
young gent was back in his room and trying to
put on collar The first one tore out n. the
button-hoe, and with smothered "dammet
he grabbed another and began to twist it around
his neck until he was almost choked and then
strained to make it connect until the button
came off. Letting off regular broadside of
profanity he took of his shirt at the same time,
and pulling another one from the drawer
Inside of it in about four seconds. Then he
happened to glance Mt the number on the box,
and saw for the first time just why collar 131,
inches long couldn t 60 on 10 neck IA 7, around.
Catching up the box he rushed back to the store.
thinking up long string of curses to sling at
the clerk, and got there just in time to find ii
closed. Then he rushed back to his boarding
house again, cursing that clerk all the way, and
at last by rumaging about in the next room
found collar just his SIZE which hadn't been
worn but once and putting it on struck at
RAPID rate for the house where his lady-lo
lived and found that she had just gone out.
in mad despair he went down town to drown
his troubles and cool off When he got there,

his girl eating oysters with that same cussed

long He was last seen going up Court street
