A Witty Tory.

The Rev. Dr.. Mather Byles, Tory
clergyman Of Boston, was greatly, dis
liked by the patriotic citizens of the town
His bitter wit provoked their enmity
quite as much as his leaning towards
England, and the Board Of War sen:
fenced him, in 1777, to be confined to
his own house. A sentinel was placed
over him, whom one day the doctor per.
suaded to 20 on an Grand for him, prom.
ising to take his place until his return
The psssers-by were much amused to see
the doctor gravely marching. with mus.
keton his shoulder, up and down before
his own door, faithfully keeping guard
over himself.
"A-short time after, the guard was re.
moved, but the doctor provoking further
complaint, . soldier was again stationed
before his house: In q few days he was
also removed, and The witty Tory was
left unnoticed. II have" ho said, in
speaking Of these events, sheen guarded,
regarded, and disregarded.'

The Electric Light in the London
Times" Composing Room.
tLondon World.]

The state of expectation in which the public
mind allows itself to be held with reference to
the socalled ''diyisibility" of the electric light
by Mr.. Edison is somewhat surprising, seeing
that all the time this divisibllity is fat &C.
con,pI in England, and may be witnessed and
tested any night of the week at the Times print
ing office. Armed with an order for this pur-
pose went there the other evening, aud this
is what saw:-From gas light we merged sud-
denly into what seemed q food of daylight,
which came from six small lamps placed at
intervals round a large room, in which COM
2positors and others were busy at work. These
lamps were suspended SO as to be raised and
lowered at will. In compliance with the wish
of one of the gentlemen present one of these
lights, selected at haphazard, was turned out
out the alightest perceptible increase in the
volume of light in the other lamps. Then an
other light at a distance was treated in SINH
lar manner and with like result. These two
were then relitb by turn of the tap the reverse
way and turned on full power. Then one was
slightly lowered" so as to give about a third
of its full light as with ordinary gas. In short,
esfound there q useful and agreeable light,
which can be moderated and arrnged to suit all
circumstances. This is the Rapieff light. am
no electrician and shall not attempt to give q
technical description of the apparatus employ
ed, but it seemed to possess great simplicity.
NJ. Rapief sayshe can burn ten lights in one
circuits that his carbons will burn for ten hours
that they can be easily renewed, and without
it's Imperative cost with gas as less than a
third. His statements may be taken for what
they are worth; but, judging from what &C.
tually saw in the Times Office, should say the
sooner gas shareholders begin to hedge" by
INVESTING in electric light shares the better.

A Narrow ESCaDe.

During the campaign of 1909 Napo.
leon arrived at Brun, in Moravia. He had
to pass the Old Gate. A steep ascent
leads to this gate, contiguous to which
are several houses; one of these was occu-
pied by a mechanic as dwelling and a
workshop. Among his journeymen was
a native of Tryol, an industrious and
worthy fellow, but, like all his country
men, a, furious enemy to Napoleon and
the French. On the morning when the
emperor rode to the Speilburg the Tyro.
ilese was missing. His comrades we're
just talking of him, when the apprentice
entered the 81 op and mentioned that he
had seen the Tyrolese at the window of
the loft. This awakened curiosity, and
the master went up to the loft to see
what he was doing; he found him kneel.
ing at the Window, with gun ready
cooked Lying before him, and, his eyes
fixed on the road by which Napoleon was
to pass. As the house stood on the de-
clivity of the hill, consequently lower
than the gate, the Emperor on horseback
at the moment when he came up to the
gate, would have been on line with the
window where his humble foe had posted
himself; and the distance would have
been so small that scarcely any marks
man, and least Of all a Tyrolese, could
have missed his aim. A few moments
after the master had d;sarmed his work
man Napoleon passed the gate and rode
down the hill. His destiny was rot yet
accomplished. 80 e.. IL

Professional Vanity Sacrificing Life.

A New York correspondent tells this
story: There was a considerable attend
ance Of doctors, surgeons and students at
the Blank hospital one day. Dr., a
celebr ated surgeon, was to amputate a
boys leg, and brilliant operation was
looked for. 1t. was brilliant, but in, the
midstof it one of the spectators saw aspurt
squirt of blood that his practiced eye
told him ought to be stopped at once.
He looked anxiously at the operator, but
though his eye saw it, too, his pride was
blind to it., 70 stop and bind it would
spoil the symmetry of the performance.
He went on and finished to the admira.

went to the hospital. As the door was
opened for him he said to the janitor:
aLittle is dead" The man stared at
him in astonishm ent. tsaWhy. how do you
know that, sir2" II knew he would die
WheniI saw the operation ;" Said the
man, Yes sir, he died this morning
That same morning some one found
the brilliant surgeon standing by the
sheeted bee. with q face that told its own
story. He said he would give all he had
in the world if he could bring that boy
back TO life, for he knew that his vanity
had killed him.

Views of Prominent Bankers Of New
York on Resumption.

New York Special to Chicago Tribune.
A prominent banker in Wall street, in con-
versatlon this morning, gave his views in re-
gard to the rumor that movement was on foot
among the banks to hoard gold and thus hinder
resumption. The banker said he did not think
any such movement was in progress. The rise
in the gold premium was simply owing to
Safeguarding operation, intended to de-
press stocks. 1t would only take a
small amount of money to lock up a million
of gold. If, by doing this, stocks could be de-
pressed about five points. large profit would
house, the banker thought, would soon be re-
versed. Many banks in the late meeting are
already regretting their course. The Clearing
House association has no ill-feeling toward the
people, and, if they found the best interests of
the country demanded it, they would reverse

any difficulty. Although, perhaps, detrimental
to himself personally, he was free TO admit that
RESUMPTION was best for the country. He had
heard, from what he thought trust
worthy and official source. that, upon the reas-
duced making legal-tenders at once redeem
able in gold or silver. This, if passed, would
bring about resumption Immediately.
Another equally well-known fnancier thinks
the action of the Clearing House association
more deliberate than many suppose. They

in view only their, own interests. They pre-

If this was their intention, they should have
acted in the opposite manner They should
rather have turned cold shoulder upon
gold coin. The United States has de-
clared that the silver dollar of 412111
grains shall be the equal of the gold
dollar. If not yet, it. would be the dnty Of
banks, as true representatives of the people:
and the tradefof the country, to do all in their
power to make silver worth as much a. the
gold dollar. By enhancing the premium on
gold the people are made to suffer, encourage

be patriotic they will recede from, their false,
damaging position, and make clean breast of
it by declaring themselves ready to assist the

An Emperor's Kindness.

Emperor William, Of Germany, is a
kind hearted old man. Two anecdotes
are told which illustrates his natural dis
position:
An official of the German civil service
and his wife celebrated recently their
diamond wedding. The Emperor, in his
retirement, heard of this event, and sent
medallion portrait of himself in q gold
en- setting, oInamented with the impe-
lial arms, by wayof wedding present,
and at the same time sent bis regret that
his inability to- write prevented his ap-
pending his autograph, which, however,
he promised as soon as he was able to do
so.
The other incident is as follows: Two
children of butcher, in village q few
miles from Berlin, having heard Of the
Emperor's fondness for blue corn-fowers
Jour bachelors buttons), gathered great
nosegay of Them in the fields, ana With
out saying anything to anybody started
off'on the Berlin highway, trudged all
the weary miles to the city, found their
way to the palace, and handed the flow
ers to the lackey "for the good EN-.
peror.' +, So, sztzS 80

Now he should be very slow to assert that
army otflc rs, as such, had dishonest tenden-
cies. He Thought the army deserved, as a
whole, its reputation for honesty, that is to
say, Tor honest Intentions Yet it would be
sabsnfd t0sAy that such class of men were in
accessiblesto the bad impulses of human ma
ture. Glen. Marcy had stated that while the
administration of the war department cost
81, 800 O00, the Indian department cost $5, O0O,-
COO, q difference of $S,2OO,00O. Such q com
parisop was absurd. The Indian business in
1849 was nothing to- what 1T had now be-
come. BE gread3 q statement Of the
amount paidE per 100 pounds of beef by
the twodepartments for the Indian bureau and
military, which showed saving Of S644 600 in
favor o. the former. Gen. Miles had stated
that the transportation of the army cost 3d.
clothing, ETC., for Indians only cost 1925 600.
q glance would show that the department of the
interior got its transportation at cheaper rates.
He did not attribute any of these things =
= ,sSs'S 10 DISHONESTY OF THE ARMY,
but rather to their cavalier way of looking at
and dealing with things. Soldiers never
Thought of the cost Of a thing if it was thought
to be necessary. As an instance he mentioned
that ct the close Of the Sioux war there were
about 1000 horses, ponies, and mules taken
from the, Indians for which COWS were to be
given them, and it turned out that these ponies
and mules cost $3.50 besides the cows, and
that to sell them cost Ct, 68S additional. This
was an instance OF the cavalier way which was
not found in the interior department.
q. g. WATKINS, +
inspector OF the Indian department, followed
Secretary Schurz and opposed the transfer. He
explained the mode of inspection of Indian
supplies. Friend Miles also gave his reasons
why control of the Indians should not pass to
the war department.

RACHEL AND RISTORI.
Distinguishing characteristics OF the
Great Dramatic Queens.
From Scribner for November.

From Scribner for November.
Rachel was 10 fighter. She had no
confidence in herself, and yet, by a
strange (but easily explained) anomaly,
she was disturbed bv the least hostile crit
icism, even by people beneath contempt
panic. The night she first appeared in
New York, she was SO disturbed by the
rustling of the leaves as the audience fol-
lowed her, book in hand, that she came
within an ace of falling into Mysteries.
The least incident put her out. Hence
the care with which even her custume
was secured against all disarrangements.
Even at the l.eight of her reputation, and
when everybody who went to hear was
an enthusiastic applauder, she never
could play unless all the hireling APP
plauders were in their usual places in the
pit. In vain the managers and actors
told her that hundreds were nightly turn
ed from the door for want Of seats; but
she insisted upon the presence of those
mercenary applauders. How differelt
she was from her great rival, Ristcri!
Ristori always insisted that there should
be none of these hirelings in the theater
when she played. She said: II am not only
irritated By their horrible, little, mechan-
ical noise. but they hide the public from
me. I cannot follow the public feeling.
Now. it is the public with whom would
have to restle. If the public be hostile,
all the better,th fight will be the warmer.
If the public hiss me, all the worse. I
shall probably have merited those Kisses.
But then on the other hand, if win their
applause, shall be able to say to myself:
THAT bravo is honestly and entirely
mine.' Nothing disconnected Ristori,
and she was full of pluck. She fought
for author, for play, for self, all the more
ardcntly If the audience was hostile, till
the curtain fell = While Rachel de-
pended on her dressing maid for, the
arrangement Of her costume, Ristori would
take a large cloth, throw it over her
shoulders and drape it during the play
as suited best with her present pas
sion, row letting it trail behind her with
queenly sweep, then wrapping it around
her like the cloak of nun, or rolling it
around her head like the-veil which hides
broken heart and tear-scalded eyes.
How admirably Guizot portrayed the
characteristics of both actresses, when he
said: zone is the beau-ideal aristocratic
tragic actress; the other is the beau
ideal democratic actress" Nature oftimes
jeers mans vanity; the beau ideal aristo-
cratic tragic actress was born in a kennel.
