sternly rebuked the witness.
sSir,' he observed, "you must treat the
learned counsel with more respect"
INV lord" answered the imperturbatle
dealer, 81 am sure you world not be so for
getful of.etiquette as to call me Jacobs upon
so brief an introduction"
His lordship, amid much laughter, nodded
his acquiescence in this undoubted rule of
social etiquette, and intimated as much to
Mr.. Huddleston-who, noticing that the
witness was respectfully addressing the
Judge, somewhat testify cried out:
'Come, Mr.. Jacobs emphasizing the
prefix, 'let me ask you a question or two"
1.-The witness, with the most perfect but
irritating sang froid, turned round, and
smiling on his interrogation, remarked:
"Wait a minute. Mr.. Huddeston. At
present, | am addressing a gentleman. When
he has done with me | will give you every
attention"
This rather hot rejoinder drew from all
the young barristers present (who were not
in love with their leader), and from the
public in Court roar OF laughter, and even
the grave seniors could not restrain ex-
pressions of satisfaction at the spectacle of
the bitter bitten But the best was yet to
come. Feeling that the laugh was against
him, Mr.. Huddleston changed his tactics,
and smiling in return with blandness
which displayed his excellent teeth to great
advantage, recommended his attack by say
ing:
"Wel. Mr. Jacobs. let me ask you, are
you good at accounts, or do you employ a
bookkeeper?'
Mr.. Jacobs: my head is not good at ac
counts"
Mr.. Huddleston: Il thought not. Your
head is much too good-looking to be good
for much.' (Laughter.)
Mr.. Jacobs: "Well, Mr.. Huddleston, in
that particular attribute / certainly have
the advantage of YOU"
There was such roar of merriment at
this sudden turning of the tables that it was
impossible for the discounted counsel to re-
cover his temper and GOODNESS, and Mr..
Jacobs was very soon dismissed from the
pillory, without receiving, after all, the
rough handling which had been intended
for him; and, to crown all, he got verdict
and came off with flying colors all round.
/ won't say that his victory over the cross
examining counsel had any influence on the
minds of the jury, but l have not the slight
est doubt that they enjoyed it immensely;for
if there is one thing more than another that
the public delights in, is to see a lawyer
nonplussed.

Hold On. Hold In. Hold Out

Hold on, my heart in thy believing,
The steadfast only win the crown;
He who, when stormy waves are heaving,
Parts with his anchor shall go down;
But he whom Jesus holds through all
Shall stand, though earth and Heaven fall.
Hold in thy murmurs, heaven arraigningl
The pa lent see Gods loving face.
o, bear thy burtYtn uncomplaining,
IT'S they who win thy Fathers grace;
He wounds himself who braves the rod
And sets himself to fight with God.
Hold out there comes end to sorrow;
Hope from the dust shall conquering rise;
The storm foretells SUMMER morrow,
The Cross points on to Paradisel
The father reigneth; cease all doubt;
Hold on, my heart, hold in, hold out.
From the German of Benjamin Schmolke.

An Irish Jauntinq Car,

Now among many and beautiful and
picturesque things, Ireland possesses,
some others, altogether detestable The
car OF the country, for instance, is the
most abomlnable of all civilized vehi-
cles... Why the numbskull who invent
ed the crab-like machine turned it
round sidewise, is as absolutely incon-
celvable as that since dog carts have
been introduced into the west the car
should survive. But it does survive to
the discomfort and fatigue of every body
and the special disgust of the writer.
There is another thing in Connaught
which love not to look upon. That is
the plate of a diner at table d'hote, on
which he has piled quantity of roast
goose with a liberal supply OF stufing,
together with about pound of hot
boiled beef, and cabbage, carrots, tur-
nips and parsnips in profusion-the
honor OF separate plate being accorded
to the national vegetable alone. 1t is
not agreeable to witness the demolition
of this Benjamin 9 mess" against time;
and when the feat is being performed by
several persons the effect thereof Is the
reverse of appetizing.

An Elaborate Tomb in Vermont.

A correspondent of the Montpelier
(Vt.) Waterman describes at some
length tomb no y nearly completed in
a small rural graveyard in that state. 1t
is situated III the little hamlet of Gut
tingsville, few miles below Rutland.
The total cost of the structure will ex-
ceed $50, 900, and it is beng erected at
The order OF Mr.. Beaman, a wealthy resi-
dent of Chester, N. Y, and a native of
Clarendon, VT, in memory of his wife
and daughter and aniufant grand daugh-
ter from whom he has been bereaved by
sudden and repeated strokes, and for
whom, in his quiet language, he is build
ing, in cost at least, the house he in
tended for them. Nearly 100 men have
been busy on various departments OF the
labor for months past. In general ex-
terror character it is a massive granite
mausoleum vestibule sheltering the
vault that contains the cherished dead.
The granite block inclosing the sides
and the roof are of immense massive
ness, that of the roof weighing nine TONS
The door is granite monolith of eight
toms weight, designed to be kept closed
at Indictment seasons of the year. At
other times the entrance is kept by an
open grating door of massive bronze to
cost $4,000. The whole interior is of
choice white marble, not in ashlars or
thin scale-work, but in massive blocks,
that of the ceiling weighing five tons in
a single stone, deeply wrought into
domed roof-work, with emblems and
tracery of the most elaborate character.
The chief features within are statuary
memorials of the dead on richly wrought
consoles. At the four angles are placed
mirrors, so set as to be protected from
the clements. The only external statute
is the angel of immortality kneeling at
the door, with the key to the. portals of
the tomb in her hand.

A Study of the Marsh.

The following is from Miss Fletcher's
new novel, 1.-THE Head of the Medusa:"
They were entering the marsh. A
paved road stretches straight and white
across it. The blue-green reeds pose
straight and sharp, like an army of
spears, as fan as the eye could see. At
the first glance the field presented the
aspect OF a solid field of rushes; looking
more closely, one was aware of openings
in this greenness-the sunlight glitter
ing upon the water, and the mind
realized with shock that all this thick
set verdure is in reality only the merest
covering for the lagoon. Denuded OF
vegetation the Stagno would be desolate;
In It's presidential luxurlance it becomes
terrible. The hidden water suggests
treachery. In the midday silence there
are inexplicable disturbances quick,
sudden, darting and struggling deep
down under the cover of rushes-dumb
indications Of strange and repulsive
forms of life-the life of slime and OBJ
security and secrecy. the mind follows
these furtlve movements with fas-
cinated disgust, imagining ell curious
tragedies of lower creations-wild, Grip
pied sea-brds dragging themselves pain
fully about under shelter-ferce battles
for existence between snake and frog and
newt. .E
At midday this expression of crowded
sterllity is at it's highest. In the early
morning there are mists hanging about
the horizon; at sunset a winter exhala-
ton rises slowly the chill forerunner of
fever and slow death; darkness covers it;
at night the stars are reflected in thou
sand motionless pools. But at midday
the marsh asserts itself In the perfectly
clear air the straight reeds glitter like
sword-blades with pitlless dlstinctness.
The sea IS silenced. The duo sunlight
presses heavily down upon an absolutely
changeless form of desola ton. In the
winter these reeds will be stiff and dry,
blanched and rafting in the restless sea
wind. ALI the power of the summer
can only modify their color to a barren
bloom. In LOO years the marsh will not
have altered by an inch. Tie whole
character of the waste implies immuta-
bility.

OutgroWlng Ones Friends.
[From the Golden Rule.l


There are men and women in public
life whose pathway is marked by the
"remains y of whilom friends whom they
have squeezed dry and dropped, like SO
many sucked oranges. In politics it is
said of such man that he Is kicked
down the ladderby which he climbed. In
literary or other walks of life the human
sponge often swells up with the thought
that he has 'foutgrown his humble
friends of other days. In private life
the self conscious soul contents itself
with becoming moro and more the center
OF the little circumference, taking none
within its orbit who will not consent to
revolve around it and emit light and
warmth for its enjoyment. There have
been many and noble definitions of what
friend Is. People of real individuality,
strength and sensitiveness, doubtless
have fewer real friends than they are
apt to think, unless they have been
cherlshlng, unconsciously, low ideals.
But whatever friend may not be, GER
tainly that sweet and noble term is un-
merited by one who, however generous
in other directions. is selfish of him self.

The Most Remarkable Escape on Record
[From the Arkansas Gazette

tHIulu TIC AfEanGaS Gazette.
The most remarkable escape on record
occurred in this city several nights ago.
Jack Juckles committed an act which,
according to law, would send him to the
pen1tentlary. He concealed himself in
the third story of @ building, hoping to
escape notice until the next day, when a
friend would procure disguise for him.
He sat in the room meditating. eyes"
he unused, eff [ am arrested L will 90 to
the pen. [ shot the fellow in self-de-
tense, but. hang it all, [ have shot sever
al, and the state of Arkansas is getting
tired of excuses"
A rap on the door started the muser
"Who's there 90
GA deputy sheriff. Open up"
"Gone up" he thought, as he opened
the door.
You are my prisoner" said the
deputy.
eyes," replied Jack" "but don't you
know that 1t won't do to take me through
the streets; To be mobbed? I tell you
what to do. Go out into the hall, lock
the door, and stand there until several
other officers can be summoned You
Can send the porter after them" This
seemed fair enough, and the officer, call
ing the porter, sent him to the sheriff g
office. "Stand outside" said Jack.
GA break might be made at any mo-
ment. There is no possible chance of
escape. I'm honest with you"
The deputy went out and locked the
door. There was not the slightest
danger to be feared from a mob, but an
idea had occurred to the prisoner. No
sooner had the deputy taken his place in
the hall than Jack softly raised one of
the windows. There were two gas
burners In the room, and approaching
the one not in use he placed his mouth
over it and turned on the gas. Present
ly he began to wave. Then his feet left
the floor and be went up nearly to to
ceiling, but he b ew out some of the gas
and came down lightly. He tooka little
more, and by holding to the wall he
managed TO reach the window. He went
through and foated out into the air. He
hoated in a westerly direction, and then,
blow ing off gradually, he came down
lightly, tipping along for several yards
before he could with safety exhale the
entire amount of gas which he had taken
into his meterized" system. Shortly
after the officers arrived the gas man
came over and promptly charged up the
extra amount of gas consumed.
