SOME QUICK REPLIES.

Dr. B, who was for many years
associated with the Jniycrsityof Virginia.
was noted for his quickncss Of rctort. and
some of his rcpartccs, which arc fading
ont of contemporary memory, are worthy
of preservation.
Once, many years ago, being on visit
to Washington, he thought hc recognized
a friend in the man who was Immediately
before him.
"How are YOU" he said, clapping the
supposed friend tamiliarly on the shoulder.
The stranger, turning stitily, answered
with some resentment:
My name is Hull, sir
Il beg your pardon, said the pro-
icSSor. II was looking for the Colonel
On another occasion, as he was walk
ing, looking intently at something in the
street, man coming in the opposite
direction, and who was gazing with equal
earncstncss into shop window, ran
shoulder to shoulder against him. The
stranger, drawing himself up with cX-
treme hautor, said:
Why did YOU run against me:

"For yrecisciytie same reason that YOU
ran against me, and the encounter ended
in good-natured laugh.

On visit to a New York publishing
house, against which he had claim fol
six hundred dollars, he was ushered int
an office where one of the firm sat on d
high office stool, pompously shelling let
tiers. The professor stood awaiting recog-
milton: but no notice was taken of him
Finally, the small business man, twisting
himself around on his perch, said, in the
most superciliouS tones:
What"
That" said the professor, handing
the order for the money.
The business was settled without an,
other word

the University professors, who, for joke

him to DR.. B with his engineering
schemes, as to a congenial and sympa

hopes, and unfolded his schemes severa
times with wearisomc multiplicity of de.
tail to the devoted professor, when the
listeners impatience made itself felt. The
engineer continued to say, Just one mol

the patcntee again said:

listener, "if you would only invent ;

JUICE RELIGIONS BY THEIR FRUTS.-
That old Catholic woman of whom Mr..
Stevenson tells in his Travels with a
Donkey" who said to him that there
was no difference between ProtcStantS
and Catholics save that wrong was
more wrong for the Catholic who had
more light and guidance, >, came very
near telling a most important truth
That was all the difference that the good
old saint herself knew, and if there were
other distinctions whose import she did
not quite grasp, who shall deny that she
clearly stated the only lawful claim that
one religion can have for prccmincncc
over another: Ii my neighbor religion
makes wrong more wrong and right
more right for him than my religion does
for me, then his religion is for him a
better religion than mine is for me. \
religion that does not deepen the moral
convictions and strengthen the moral
purposes is good for nothing, and all re-
ligions are to be valued in proportion as
they bring forth in their yotaucs this

doctor a little impatiently, you are mis-
taken, You deal in notions, not in ideas.
On another occasion the same gentle
man broke in upon a conversation with
the sudden and irrelevant question,
doctor, did YOU ever read ShakSpere:'
The listener struggled moment in 81
lence with his Indignation, and then, as
suming mystifed air, asked in the most
commonplace tone,

A Serious Accident.

A very peculiar and distressing accident hap
pened yesterday at Overpeck's livery stable,
No. 96 East Fourth street. Messrs F. F. Mar
shall and John s. Richards, of Erie, Penn, to-
gether with Mr.. Z. N. Saunders, whom they
have been visiting, were driving out of the
barn, when the carriage broke in the middle
and threw the occupants to the ground
Messrs. Marshall and Richards occupied the
rear seat, and in falling struck their heads
against the iron axle-tree of the rear wheels
Both suffered severe Commissions, Mr.. Marshall
b ,ing knocked senseless. Mr.. Saunders escaped
,ujury The injured gentlemen were at once
conveyed to the Merchants hotel and DR.. Tai
bot Jones was summoned to
their assistance. He pronounced their
injuries severe, but in no way
apprehended any serious result. MIR, Overlook
declares the carriage used was new one, and
cannot account for the singular breakage
Messrs. Marshall and Richards are well known
citizens and capitalists of Erie, Pa. They were
making an inspecting tour of this region pre-
liminary to investing in business.
Luckily neither one is injured
dangerously. and both are expected
to be around in few days under DR.. Jones'
skilltul treatment.

COOPERS, STRIKE.
The Barrel Makers Allow the ''Union' I
Dictate.

The Barrel Makers Allow the "UniOn" to
Dictate.
A tempest in a teapot was inaugurated
yesterday morning by number of striking
coopers employed in the st. Paul Steam
Coopering establishment, corner of Washing
ton and Eagle streets, of which gentleman
named Wilson is the proprietor. The mis-
understanding seems to have received it's
first impetus from the coopers' strike inau-
gurated about two weeks ago in Minneapolis,
since when trouble has been brewing among
the representatives of the guild in this city,
which assumed definite form yesterday
morning, when eighteen men employed at
the above-named establishment threw down
their mallets and refused to work unless they
received additional pay for their labors.
In reply to query Mr.. Wilson stated that
delegation of coopers had visited this city
from Minneapolis, with the object in view of
keeping flour barrels from being
shipped to, that city, for the rea-
son that as long as they were
manufactured at cheaper figure here, the
recalcitrant workmen would experience more
difficulty in gaining their point with their
employers at Minneapolis. meeting of all
coopers belonging to the union was held in
this city on Wednesday evening, when it was
decided to strike for two cents higher wages
on each flour barrel manufactured, or Is
cents per barrel, the former price being only
13 cents per barrel.
Mr.. Wilson stated that he had employed
eighteen coopers, who were turning out in
the aggregate about $50 barrels per day, and
that it was impossible for him to pay as high
wages al certain Minneapolis concerns, fol
the reason that they manufactured more
than three times the above number, anc
could, consequently, afford to sell at smaller
profit.
In response to question, it was stated
that good hand would make about So pei
day, some averaging more than this, while ;
few could not make more than SO or $1(
per week. 1t was also stated that three anl
four months contracts were had with som,
of the men, in spite of which they conside
themselves, in honor bound, to obey the be
hests of the union.
One or two of the workmen were inter
viewed concerning the reasons for the strike
the only material difference between thei
stories and the above being that they ha,
been set to work on car load of split AM
inferior hoops, where the opportunities TO
making average wages were extremely linn
tied. Both employe and employer main
tanned stubborn attitude of resistance las
night, and the prospects for long strlk
are, unfortunately, of the most favorabl
character imaginable.

This is the title of {; cause placed on the SUI
preme court calendar yesterday, upon motion
of all parties, and was set down for argument
on the Goth inst. The suit was originally be-
gun in November last, in the district court for
Grow Wing county, to restrain the sale of the
100000 acres of the ''Brainerd Branch"
railroad lands reserved by act of
Legislature for the benefit of those who
furnished work and material in the
construction Of the Est. Paul & Pacific Ex-
tension ines,' so called. When the first Sc
lection of lands under that act had been adver-
tised for sale, the district court for the county
mentioned, issued an ex parte injuI ction to
the Governor, forbidding him from making the
sale: The Governor, however, being advised
by the attorney general that the action of the
court was wholly without jurisdiction, disre-
garded the injunction, and proceeded to make
tie sale as advertised.

Milton Mobiles.

Of MIR. Milton Mobiles and his play of 1.-THE
Pheenix," that will hold the boards at the
Opera House this evening and tomorrow, the
Boston He1mld says:
It is seldom that an actor succeeds as an au-
thor, especially when he plays the leading part
in his own piece. Mr.. Milton Mobiles may be
looked upon exception to this rule. 1.-The
Phoenix" is full of striking situations. It is
not essentially drama, for it is full Of the
elements Of genuine comedy, and it is in this
light of the piece that Mr., Mobiles shines. The
play is sufficiently fuii OF the popular elements
it caters to the lover Of comedy as we'll as the
supporter of sensational drama. The fire scene
and the gambling saloon, especially the finale
of the latter scene, are highly dramatic in con-
strdction, and powerful in situation.

passages of eloquence and power, spiced SO
frequently with deep-cutting though good
natured irony, that could make no abstract
