PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

-"Lawyers, as a general thing" says
an exchange, are good livers." Yes,
and there's one in st. Louis who considers
himself a good Dyer, as we'll.
Young DR.. Tying got up in his New
York pulpit the other Sunday, and, as he
gave out a hymn, took occasion to say:
You may omit the fourth verse. don't
believe it's true"
Judge Peck, of the Court of Claims,
the Washington Star says, by reason OF
his advanced age aud feeble health, has
not been able to take his seat on the bench
for three years. He does not live in
Washington, but in Chicago. By law he
can retire on full pay for the rest of his
life. In consequence of his abserce there
have been many cases where judgment
has been given against the Government
by minority of the Court.
DIR. Newhall, the former President of
Delaware College, at Newark, Del, and
a personal friend of Bishop Haven, was
very sick, and for some days he thought
himself immortal, and refused to take any
food. The Bishop visited him and tried
to prevail upon him to take some nourish-
ment. "No; do not want anything"
said he. II am immortal. I am in
Heaven. This is Heaven" Then, paus-
ing for moment and looking at his visi-
tor with a troubled air, he said: "But,
Haven, how in the world did you get
here ?'-Chtcago Tribune.
The way of the transgessor is hard.
Charles G. Fuller, President of the Chaplin
Paper Company, Of Norwich, Conn, just
arrested for $5O, 600 forgery, hasn't had
a very good time since he cleared out last
June. He says that he had but two dol
lars when he left, and he has since been
very destitute, and has spent much OF his
time in tramping. He travelled about
Pennsylvania and Delaware, part of the
time picking peaches at seventy five cents
a day, and part of the time doing odd
jobs as a carpenter. He met man who
had held responsible position in South
ern State, but had been obliged 10 fee to
escape punishment for fraud. They
formed regular partnership as tramps,
and each gave the other half of what he
had. Fuller's partner, however, at last
betrayed him for the reward that had been
| offered. Fuller now says that he wants
to hide his head in the State Prison as
soon as possible.-Ercaange.
While arguing a case before the
United States Supreme Court in Wash
ington recently, Mr.. Albert Pike made a
clever reply to an objection of Atty. Gen.
Pierrepont. The Attorney General had
questioned the evidence of one of Mr..
Pixies witnesses on the ground of the ex-
IRENE age OF the man-seventy three years
and presumptive failure of his faculties
Well, your honors," said Mr.. Pike, 81
don't altogether like that myself, for l am
sixty-six years old, and in little while
shall be seventy, and even seventy -tarce,
and am somewhat sensitive about old
men with no memories. I see on the
bench before me one justice hearing this
case who is sixty-nine years old, another
who is seventy-two, and would like tc
ask with what force the Attorney-G Generals
argument strikes them that man has nc
memory at their ages" Mr.. Pierrepon,
yielded the point. Curiously enough, the
client for whom Mr.. Pike was arguing
was Ex-Gov. Rector of Arkansas, with
whom he had once foughAa duel.-N. Y
