Judge Poland a . roddy.nirer.

,~-A story 10 going the rounds Of the press,
saws Washington correspondent, de.
scribino Ing p. Poland-whose coIinsc.
ton with the gag-ls..s is forgotten and
forgiven by mis- speech on Afkansas--as
| mixer of toddy, was told the story
some months ago by person who was
present at the banquet, and who prop
erly may be considered the official re-
porter of the bacchanal feast. repeat
1t in very neary the words OF the narra-
tor. MY In ntormant said:
Luxe T. Poland comes from Vermont,
WheIe 's1ey make men sober with clubs; /;
Dut Ae loves his tod. He first entered
congress as q. Senator to fill an unex-
pired term. He had such a smooth.
rounded, innocent face that leading
Western Senator. who had come to be
known in later years as the Gambrinus
Dished good material for q practical joke.
The Senator planned dinner-party, to
which his own crew and Luke were in
vited. The walters, before the party as
sembled, received from the host this sig
nificant instruction.:
"Whenever grog is called for, always
put double strength in the glass which
you give to the man with the white head,
the blue coGt and the brass buttons"
The revelers came and the banquet
began. The first tod came with the first
course. The walters were faithful to
their orders. Luke's eyes twinkled with
innocent pleasure. He did not know
that the public enjoyment was so nearly
allied to the silent delights of his own
mountains. Another, too, came, and
another, and .ourth, and a fifth. These
drafts provedpotent enough to send the
host and all the guests save Poland to
"That proud and humble, pure and grand,
Enchanted, golden gypsy-land,
The valley OF Bohemia"
But Poland was unmoved. He beck
oned finally 10 the waiter, and whis-
pered:
"The next time you bring my tod,
please make it double strength, this is
not strong enoughW
Gambrinus and his crew were outdone.
Brass-buttoned, saintly.faced Luke, TAX
ing double strength all through, outlived
the rest with their single tods.
The end OF the story was when some
Of the same party nearly made chap
lain of Poland. There may be seen every
winter about the Capitol a venerable,
looking, hard-visaged, rugged old saint,
who is professional apostle Of temper
ance. He bears the name OF Chickering,
and halls from Boston. He is a person
who looks like Poland. One day, the
Chaplain Of the Senate being absent,
Chickering took upon himself The sacer-
dotal function, and opened the Senate
with the usual services. Some OF the
Poland's dinnertable companions, fresh
from the memories of the bout between
the single and the double strength, en-
tered the door while the prayer was
being spoken, and caught the profile of
the Chaplain's face. A significant ex-
preston came from them, and the word
was passed: "Why, we didn't know our
innocent, brass-buttOned friend was a
too"

An English medical journal has ac-
complished what has always been
thought an impossible taBk-numbeHng
the hairs of the head. 1t announces that
there are from 16O, 900 to 200, 600 hairs in a
lady's head, and then computes their
value by relating an incident which it
says happened to Madame Nilsson dur
ing her residence in New York City.
She was at a fancy fair and an admirer
asked her the price of single hair from
her head. She said $40, "and in "a few
moments the Swedish songstress was
surrounded by admirers anxious to buy
a hair at the same rate" The proceeds
were given to the fair. At this rate the
value of Madame Nilsson's hair Is 2,0O0,-

: Tha Eckford Baseball Club of Mays
Vile yesterday afternoon engaged the
I.ndlows in game Of ball on the grounds
ef the latter, who defeated their oppo-
nents. Owing to technical objection
raised by the Eckf0rds against the play
Of the Ludlows the game was not fin
ished. The point raised was this: When
rjke balls are knocked over the right-feld
fenee or the grounds the batter is al
lnwed two bases. During the sixth in
ndng Jones Of the Ludiows sent ball
over another fence, to which the rule
dses not apply, and made home run,
tRe score standing thirteen to four. The
Kekfords claimed that Jones was enti-
tied to only two bases, but this was re-
sfsted by the Ludlows, who were sus-
tained by the umpire. On this the Eck-
fhfds got fncensed and lett the grounds
In disgust, the game being given to the
Ludl0us with score OF nine to nothing.

New YoRK, July 2L--A~ correspond
ent at Geneva gives an account this
morning of the terrible storm which
broke over that city at midnight of
Wednesday, he Tth inst, About eight
O'clock a few heavy drops Of rain began
to fall, and at the same time the whole
circumference Of the horizon began to
be ftfully Illuminated by flashes Of sheet
lightning, but there was no thunder.
Once only during the entire night was
there one terrific clap of thunder, and
that was when the storm was just over.
The lightning gradually increased in in
tensity, and became indeed actually and
without exaggeration continuous. The
entire atmosphere seemed to be an ele-
ment Of flames, and all this time there
was not the slightest movement Of air in
the streets. At about IL o'clock small
objects lying on the roofs Of the houses
we're caught up and whirled around as if
by a cyclone; still there was no move
ment of the air in the streets.
At midnight the tempest came mainly
from the Jurs range and from southwest
travelling in that direction toward the
basin of Lake Lemon. AS it neared the
lake it seemed to spread out into a fan
like form, with a front sufficiently wide
to embrace. the entire city. 1t did not
last much longer than ten minutes. At
the end Of it Geneva was wrecked as no
army Of besiegers could have wrecked
it in the same space Of time. The storm
came in the shape of an almost com
pact mass Of a sheet Of ice driven hori-
zontally before the tempest blast. In
the first instant every gas-lamp in the
streets, save here and there one spared
by reason of some protecting roof, was
smashed to atoms and extinguished; but
the city was not in total darkness, for
the masses Of coagulated hail reflected
a blue light Of lightning in a CHASTITY and
ominous manner. Windows of manu-
factories and residences we're forced
from their fastenings, besides having all
glass shivered, and bedrooms, and stair
cases, and saloens we're thus thrown
open to the storm and in a minute or
two half filled with masses of ice far be.
