Turning a loke.

Some time in '04 there were
number of army officers stopping at
holel in Washington. Among them
was Captain Jones, who was first
rate fellow, a good officer and very POM
pous. Emerson and Jones used to have
a good deal of joking together at the
table and elsewhere. One day at the
dinner table, when the dining hall was
well filled Capt. Jones finished his din
ner first, got up and walked almost to
the dining-hall door, when Emerson
spoke to him in loud voice and said {:
Halloo, Captain see here; l want
to speak to you minute" The Capt
turned and walked back to the table
and bent over him, wheu Emerson
whispered l wanted to ask you how
far you would have gone, if had not
spoken to you ?' The Captain never
changed mucle, but Strengthened up
and put his fingers into his vest pocket
and said in voice loud enough for all
to hear him Captain Emerson, L
don't know a man living that I'd rath-
er lend $5 dollars to than you, but the
fact is, / haven't cent with me to-
day." and turned on his heels and
walked away. Emerson was the color
of half dozen rainbows, but he had to
stand it. He never heard the last of it,
and it cost him more than $40 to treat
on it.

An Obstacle Overcome.

Mrs. Hewitt relates the following an
ecdote of an elephant and an astonished
Kentish toll-bar keeper;
Van Amburgh, who was a great man
for lions, and who kept wild beasts, had
a famous elephant called Jack. AS
Jack and his keeper were travelling from
Margate to Canterbury (they were trav-
elling on FOOT, they came to Up-Street
toll-bar, when the toll-bar man wanted
them to pay higher toll than was
right. Jacks driver offered the right
toll, but the man would not take it, and
kept the gate shut. On this the man
went through the little foot-gate to the
other side of the bar, and called out to
the elephant, "Come on Jack,r and at
once the elephant applied his trunk to
the rails of the gate, and quickly lift
ing 1t from its hinges, dashed it to the
ground, breaking it into pieces as he
did so. He then proceeded on his way
without any attempt being made to ar
rest his progress by the toll bar man,
who now stood petrifed to see what a
mistake he had made in demanding an
unjust toll from an elephant.

His wife entered the caraiage also, softly
so as not to disturb the thinker. In
gettin in however, her finger was caught
by the door, which, shutting upon 1t,
jammed 1t terribly, and held II so fast
that she could not withdraw 1t. She ut.
tered no cry, made no movements; her
pain and agony must have been intense.
There was the finger crushed between
the panels; to speak, or to endeavor to
withdraw 1t would disturb her lord
would drive the figures and arguments
from his head. So there stayed the fin
ger, every moment more painful, until
they reached the House; nor did Dlsraeli
hear a word of 1t till long after the fa-
nous debate of that night had become
history. All that evening the faithful
wife sat in the gallery, that her hus-
bands quick glanclng eye might not
miss her from it; she bore this pain like
martyr, and like a woman who loves.
No wonder that by her husbands act
she has become Viscountess Beacons-
field; still less wonder that, as Lady
Beaconsheld, she is honored in En-
glands proudest castles, and has taken
her place in the hereditary society as
naturally and easily as if she, too, had
been "to the manor born"
