Tho best feature of tho now finnncial

tho classification Of tho outstanding cortit-
Gates; tito payment pro rata Of tho bnck

OF tho certificates IN payment of these back
taxes tho rcgular payment Of interest thcro-

however, TINT faithful adherence to this
scheme will cancel MI tho outstanding certitl-

than at any timc sinco its validity was called
into question, and also much better than

stock left; had been keeping it for par
ticular friend in whom they felt a very
deep interest. In consideration OF his
being President of the United States
they would let him have them, dividend
included, at half their face, "You are
entirely too generous" Mr.. johnson used
to say. If they could control the gov
ernment demand for stone, which they
certainly would If the President of the
United States was interested in it, there
was no knowing what these shares would
be worth in six months Why it would
enable him to ride in his coach and eat
his dinner at Welcker's every day. Mr..
johnson was immovable. He would re-
peat that they were very kind; but he
had no money to invest in grindstone
quarries. He at first thought the enter
prise was for the manufacture of grind
stones. Not to be put off in that way,
they proposed to make him donation
of twelve thousand dollars worth of the
stock, Mr. johnson peremptorily refused
to accept it. He had made it rule of
his life not to accept presents while hold
ing Office. As to a President of the
United States holding Office and accept
ing gifts, he could not imagine anything
more destructive of official morality
This somewhat surprised these Seneca
stone gentlemen, and forthwith they set
up the cry that he never did take care Of
his friends or comprehend his own in
terests.

JOSEPH AND MRS. POTLPHAR.

This famous legend is still found
among the Egyptians of to-day, but in a
somewhat different form than that of the
Biblical narrative. M. De Lesseps, the
distinguished engineer and savant, who
has resided much in the East, gives this
as the Egyptian tradition: Potiphar was
not a tender-hearted man. He impris-
oned his wife, as also Joseph, although
the lady and Joseph asserted their inno-
cence. The Judge ordered an inquiry
and the wife of Potiphar, in her defense,
urged that her passion for Joseph had
been awakened by his personal beauty,
which she declared no woman possibly
could resist. Others, she said, would
have done as she had, an assertion she
was invited to prove. On being set at
liberty she invited a number of her fe-
male friends to meet her at her house,
without informing them of the purpose
for which they were assembled. To each
guest an orange and golden knife were
given, and they were requested not to
cut the oranges until the lady of the
house had given them the signal so to
do, by pronouncing the word "Now,"
The ladies', with their orange in one
hand, and their knife in the other, were
gazing with surprise at their hostess,
when suddenly the door opened and Jo-
seph made his appearance, standing on
the threshold, "Now," cried the wife of
Potiphar, but her guests, captivated BY
the beauty of the Hebrew, paid no at
tention to what they were doing, and
consequently cut their fingers. The
party was called before the Judge on the
following morning; every one of the la
dies, save one, hid her wounded hand in
the folds of her garment, while the one
whose hand was unhurt declared that
she had escaped the common fate by
throwing her knife away the moment she
saw Joseph; and, on being further press
ed with questions, declared that had she
not thrown her knife away she should
have stabbed herself to the heart, be-
cause she could not bear to look upon the
Hebrew and know that she could never
possess him as a husband.-Home Jour-

WHAT H WICKED BOY DID.

A wicked boy caught FREELY one day
and stuck it with mucilage on hecenter
of the largest lens ofthe telescope in the
Washington Observatory. The astrono-
mer perceived blaze of light, which
died out at intervals, and thinking he
had discovered most extraordinary
star, he pronounced it "of the third mag
nitude Of Orion" He telegraphed at an
expense Of $2,500 all over the world and
the astronomer gazed at Orion until they
were wild, and then telegraphed back to
the Professor for further information.
In the meanwhileth the discover found his
star had moved 1S00O,OOO,0OO miles in
twenty-four hours, and perceived it ac-
tually hadlegsl But on polishing his
lens he found the lightning bug !-then
he swore terribly-worse than "our army
in Fl4nders"-ln fact they heard him
swear away down in Alexandria, seven
miles away. Since then lie has been
looking for that boy; he wishes to con-
suit with him about Something's
Louis Dispatch.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A Son Kills HIS Father, Mother, and At
tempt8 to XIII HIS WIFE, and then
Commits Suicide.

BosToN, Feb. Ia special from East
Lyndon, Vt, states that Silas Wilder, a
resident of that town, killed his father
and mother with an axe and then cut
his wife's throat. He then hung himself.
His wife was alive at the latest date.
NEWPORT, VT, Feb There is terri
BILE excitement at East Lyndon over the
tragedy of to-day, 1t is supposed that
Wilder was laboring under temporary
insanity superinduced by excessive ex-
element and passion. The details of
the tragedy are mosl horrible. His faith
er and mother were aged respectively
seventy-three and seventy years of age
The immediate cause of the affair was
an alteration with his wife, who in al
tering pair of overalls had made them
too short. After angry words Wilder
started for the shed, saying he would get
an axe and end the trouble. The wife
followed him, and seized the axe, when
he drew dirk, stabbed and left her for
dead. Then taking up the axe, he start
ed for the father, who had followed him,
and struck him a fearful blow, crushing
through his head. At this point he
seemed still further infuriated and next
attacked his mother, killing her with
three fearful blows over head and breast,
leaving her in the front door. He re-
turned to the shed and found his father
had crawled into the kitchen. He struck
him as he lay upon the floor, the axe
crushing through the head and remain
ing fixed in the floor. He then cut his
throat, and death not ensuing at once,
ran to the barn, fastened a rope around
his neck and jumped from a beam,
breaking his neck and causing instant
death. The father and mother are both
dead, The wife, it is thought, may re-
cover.

THE PEDANTIC La WYER.


bade my lawyer Windy, sue
NY neighbor Jones for damage due
The plaintiff, on the valid ground
That he, said Jones, had put in pound
Unlawmlly, against the neaee,
Three certain sheep of finest fleece;
My property and valued, say,
At twenty dollars, please to lay
The damage high, and go ahead.
And Windy, make him FEEL said,
"The statutes full and speedy force
On treSpassers He said; "oi course"
And six months later made report
The case was up-belore the court,
When Windy's speech seemed nearly done,
And he, as yet had scarce begun
To touch the matter in dispute
i growing anxious for my suit
Said, in whisper; Don't forget
You haven't touched the case as yet;
You've talked, know, an hour or more
About the statutes made before
The Norman conquest, and have brought
Before us what Justinian taught
And Coke on Littleton have gone
All through the Code Napoleon
And very learnedly, no doubt,
Have shown his honor all about
The statutes in the reign of Anne;
And how the leading cases ran
Before Lord Blank held so and so:
Now let the habeaS corpus go,
And, ere the court falls fast asleep,
Do say a word about the sheepp

Presented With n Night Slirt.-On
Wednesday evening several Of DR.. HUME's
young friends assembled at his Office, and
after n formal organisation of the meeting
was affected one OF the number was Sc
lected on account OF his wit and eloquence
to state the object Of the meeting. which
was to present the Doctor with night shirt
that had been made without regard to cost,
being Aounced and frilled from one ex-
tremity to the other. After the DIR. had
been placed in an attitude to receive the
gift, the orator Of the occasion delivered
himself as follows:
"This shirt is paid for except the mate
rial and making. If you will settle for
these items, we will charge nothing for
getting it up. You will observe it has n
collar-when cold, turn up the collar
when hot, turn itup at the other end. BY fol-
lowing these directions may you live long
and prosper"
The DIR. was taken so completely by sur
prise that he was overcome with emotion
and could do no more than wipe away the
tears that were trickling down his cheeks
(he shed profusely) with the lower end Of
the garment a The whole party became
very much affected at the situation.
