The following characteristic
anecdote of old Jerry Black is
told by Don Piatt in the Capital.
There is a grim humor in the
honorable and venerated Jere-
miah Black that kills. That
railroad aristocrat, Tom Scott,
having elaborated ain essay on
the late railroad strikes, in which
he advocates an increase of the
standing army as o remedy,
Judge Black, with one thrust Of
his pen, pins the bird of prey to
the barn-door Of public CON
tempt. He suggests that as o
standing army for such purpose
is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and in dead
" antagonism to our traditions
and principles. to say nothing
Of the cost. it would be better
Tor the government to pay the
laborers on the railroad, and let
the officials take the profits.
Exit Scott.

Honeymoon Trials.

Young Charley Overblower
married about a month ago, and
when he came home from his
wedding tour, he and his pretty
little wife Emma took posses
sion of charming cottage up
town. Early one evening, after
they were fairly Settled, and the
last of Emma's sisters had been
induced to conclude her visit,
Charley proposed to Emma that
they should 20 to the concert.
The wife assented, and both
began to amend their toilets. In
a few moments Charley said !
|@Darling, I am very sorry to
trouble you; but really I think I
shall be obliged to have to ask
you to sew a button on this
shirt.
"Of course; why not ?" said
Emma delighted at chance toI
show her skill. She took theI
garment, seated herself, and
said: Il can't remember for
the lie of me where I put those
buttons. Charley, look in that |
box and see If you can find one. "
Charley looked in the box,
which was a case of perfume
bottles, and not finding the del
sired articles, concluded he would
not bother Emma for further in
formation, SO he pulled button
from another shirt.
Now, Charley said Emma, I
slook in the top burean-drawer
and get me a paper of needless
and spool of white. cotton-bel
sure to get the white cotton .

to button the band at the back,

Emma raised herself on her

"Why, that's strange r said
she; take it off and let me look
at it.
The shirt was inspected
thoroughly, and the button was
found neatly and deity sewed on
just beneath the tag ofthe shirt

appcndage in a most elegant
manner.
"WelI, by Jove." exclaimed
Charley, @if I didn't know any
more about sewing on a button

a separation from you and your
old shirts; that's where / am go-
