sHERMAN'S REPLY
THURMAN ANSWERED AT TOLEDO.

THE sEcRETARY's RECEPTION AT TOLEDO - WHY
SENATOR THURMAN's FINANCIAL PLAN is WRONG.
A special dispatch to The TRIBUNE from
Toledo last night says: Secretary Sherman,
accompanied by his private Secretary, Mr..
Babcock, and few friends arrived here to-day
by the United States revenue cutter Fessenden.
Wheeler's Opera House was crowded tonight
with an audience of about 1000 persons to
hear the secretary's speech, while as many
more were unable to obtain entrance to the
hall. At o'clock, Secretary Sherman was
introduced to the audience by Captain j. X.
Hamilton, and was received with applause"
The greater portion Of the Secretary's speech
was devoted to financial questions. He
replied to the assertions made by
Senator Thurman in his recent speech,
and declared that his plan would directly
violate the loan laws under which the United
States bonds and notes are issued.

THE JUDGE's BLACK CAP."-The
colt cap is still worn in undiminshed
proportions by Judges when they pass
sentence of death, and is generally known
as the "black cap" In old time the
justice, on making ready to pronounce
the awful words which consigned fell
low creature to horrid death, was won t
to draw up the fiat, square, dark cap, that
sometimes hung at the aape OF his neck
or the upper part Of his shoulder. Hay
ing recovered the whitenoss OF his Golf
and partially concealed his forehead and
brows with the sable cloth, he proceeded
to utter the dread sentence with solemn
composuro and 0rmness. At present the
black cap is assumed to strike terror into
the hearts Of the vulgar formerly it was
pulled over the eyes, to hide the emotions
of the Judge.

LIE DIDN'T WANT TO BUY.-A small
dapper, bilious looking man, with little
eyes, long nose and a pointed chin,
rushed into wholesale book-sto on
Court avenue yesterday and asked one OF
the clerks if they had book entitled
Reveries of a Bachelor" The clerk
who was very obliging, as all clerks in
that store are, began to look for the de-
sired article. He went over every shelf
where it was likely to be, but could not
find it upon any OF them. Then he went
down in the basement-the bilious look =
ing man following him-and dove down
to the bottom of several boxes of books
that had been laid by Tor want of a de-
mand sfor them. secured the shelves,
searched the drawers, but found it not
Then he went up to the second floor and
resumed his search among more old
books, unpacking several boxes and over
turning a large quantity Of goods. He
was about TO give up the search, and told
the man he didn't believe the book was
in the store. But the man said he wished
he would find it if possible so the clerk
went into the third story and prowed
around again for half an hour, and final
ly fished it up out of the dust in little
box away off in one corner of the top
row Of shelves, after search of over an
hour. He brushed the dirt from the GOV
er and said D.: "Yes, here il is 81 so !;
you can have it for 81 25."
"Oh, | don't want to buy it" said the
bilious looking man.
Don't want to buy it ?" said the
clerk why didn't you say so an hour
ago? Why did you make me search so
long for an article you don't want to buy?
My time is valuable, and my employer
expects me to put it to profitable use."
" Well, you see," quietly remarked
the man, " made bet with JEFF Gran
dali. He said | couldn't fnd the book in
Des Moines, and bet him So | could,
and | have won the bet. That's ALL
Sorry to trouble you so much" And
the man wended his way down stairs
again. When he had gone the clerk
thought how happy he would be to get
an invitation to that mans funeral. DE

A RUSSIAN SToRY.-A rather sensa
tional story comes from Russia The
greatest poet of the empire of the czars
(and there is good deal Of poetry both
in Russian life and Russian iterature)
was man of the name of Poushkine.-
His wife was not very faithful to him,
and one evening while Frenchman
named Dantez, whom he suspected was
at his house, he put out the lamp as if by
accident, and kissed his wife, asking her
pardon for the mishap. Taking advant-
age OF the darkness he had quickly black
ened his lips with charcoal before kissing
her, and then went out of the room to
light it again. When he came back
Dan!ez had his lips al! black. The next
morning II duel took place, in which the
the poet was killed. Dautez was banish-
ed rom Russia, while the widow, after a
few years repentance, married the son of
II minister, Court Lankskoy, by whom
she had daughter. This daughter mar
rird General Hartung, who recently
shot himself in consequence Of verdict
of guilty rendered in criminal suit
brought against him by the wife of a
money lender Of the name of Santleben.
1t appears that the general had borrowed
large sums of money from the Jewish
capitalist at the moderate rate of two
hundred per centum perannum. In con-
sequence of these amiable transactions an
intimate friend sprang up between the
creditor and the debtor, and the former
appointed the latter executor of his will.
At Sanitleben's death General Hartung
took possession Of all his papers, and de-
stroyed all the bills bearing his own sig
nature. When it became known to the
deceased's widow, she brought an action
against him. Count Lanskoy, the gen
erals !ather-in law, was also indicted,
but the jury acquitted him, returning n
verdict of guilty against the general, who
blew his brains out in the very court
room as soon as the verdict was returned,
and before the judge mad time to pro-
nounce sentence.-N. Y Sun.

A child rarely sneezes more than twice.
Perspiration is readily induced in youth;
an old man, on the contrary, sneezes half
Il dozen times, with loudly explosive

open window, and finds himself sneezing,
nature tells him he is taking cold. He

ed lost upon the president, who appeared
disposed to think that no dependence could
be placed upon any pledge the Indians
might give, and that az he believed Sitting
Bull was determined on war, steps had been
taken to meet him. The friends of human

this decision.
Col. Meacham called the attention of the
president to the fact that there is proof pos.

Indians, il broken, as been broken by tn,
whites aud not by the red skins-and that j
