A Wife's Trick.

A lady occupying high position ut
Washington, whose husband was Of the
Government, made trip 10 Europe with
him. She dotted" on lace, and here was
her opportunity. Talking Of the acquisi-
lions she would make In this line, he told
her she should purchase any reasonable
quantity, provided she would not smugglc
any. To this she acceded. The gentle
man took as part Of his wardrobe a dress
Ing. gown, for like most Americans)i in the
privacy Of his room he liked to pull otf
his coat. Several times on the trip he oh.
served the care his wife took OF this gar
mcnt, and was gratiiied for her anxiety for
his comfort. Once when smoking, while
lighting his cigar, he set his gown on fire
and quite hole was burned In the skirt
His wife was considerably agitated, and
he was fiatiered that so trifling danger 10
him had 40 moved her. One morning,
Immediately after their return 10 this
country, he found before he reached his
office that keys he needed he had left ut
home, and retraccd his steps to get them
Letting himself In with his 'atch.kcy he
proceeded to his chamber, and on opening
the door found his wife on her knees ON
tho floor, his dressing gown Invested Of its
lining and spread before her, and she,
scissors in hand, disengaging from II n

covered. She sprang up on seeing him,
laughed and exclaimed: You are the

An elderly man Eaned Beckwith- re
siding in one of the peninsula counties,
came 10 this city last Thursday on bust
ness. He brought with him an oldfash..
i.,n.a fsiui-lock rife TO have a stock and
lork nut on. On iIse cars he fell in con-
yersaiion with party Of three gentlemen
from the city. when one Of them, TO test
,he reality of some Of the extraordinary
feat ~ the Workmanship he boasted OF.
offered him ten dollars 10 repeat some OF
them. 10 which the other two added I'VE
dollars between them The trial came on
10 an old field half mile below Rockets,
and was witnessed by about dozen per-
sons.
The old fiintlock was fired seven times
and only once missed It's aim. The old
gentleman, after making two shots at
small objects to one side, 10 get his hand
steady, as he said, handed his son potato
and stationed him al fifty yards distance,
holding the potato between liis thumb and
forefnger. The rife cracked, and the
potato fell cIoyen in three or four pieces.
One Of the larger pieces was then thrown
into the air, the narksiman keeping at the
same distance, and again the shot told
An inch ard half auger was then pro
duced and hole bored in the fence, be-
hind which was fastened piece of white
paper. At the distance Of sixty
yards the marksman sent ball
clear through the aperture, piercing the
paper. At the fourth shot, from sixty
wards distance, the bowl Of pipe, which
the SON was smoking, was crushed. AT
the fifth shot a copper cent was thrown
into the air and hit. The sixth and sew
enth shots were delivered at blackcned
fve.cent nickel piece thrown up by the
son, standing about thirty yards off. At
the first attempt the shot missed. The
old gentleman showed considerable NOR.
LITIGATION and laid the blame upon by.
standcr who, at the critical moment,
sneezed loudly. The next attempt, how
ever, was an entire success. The old
man declined any further trials Of his
skill, and when offered sum Of money
to repeat his first feat of shooting potato
from his sons hand he refused, saying
he didn't care 10 try such experiments
unless his weapon was freshly cleaned.
The exhibition was the more remarkable
from the fact that the marksman was an
old man, at least fifty. His eye, however,
is a clear, bright gray. His appearance is
that Of poor farmer. The young man
showed not the least tremor or anxiety dur
ing the dangerous experiment upon him.

said: Bob can shoot just as well ~

similar incident in connection with the

named Boyle had five children, who,

coffin ON her head and set out unattended
To the Abbey churchyard. But her eldest
