WASHINGTON, December H.-Bre~ster
is a Philadelphia lawyer, and even smarter
than the degree of legal acuteness which
is popularity assigned TO the legal trateE-
nifty OF the Quaker City. That he is a
stalwart there is no necessity tor saying;
that political quality goes without say
ing, when it is known that he is men,
Der OF President Arthurs cabinet. Brews-
ter has never been a great reformer; ais
mind is brilliant and large; he has wide
knowledge of men and is perfectly at
home in law. he is one OF the homeliest
men in Cnristendom. A burn, which he
had when child, and which came near
causing his death, made him that which
the majority of people would call hideOus
The same accident interfercd W it'll the look
of his eyes, but it did not interfere with
| their sight: but he has power of speech,
a voice, which, when he talks, causes one
to forget his Disagreement, He wears
the old style lace rutte in his sleeves, for
which he is often criticized as showing
both sleeves. The real reason that he
wears them is to hide disfguration
around the wrists, which is the result of
the same burn, that makes his free at first
repulsive.
1T j. related of him that once upon his
travels he was seated at one of the dining
tables of a leading New York hotel. He
was engaged in the courts OF that city and
as his stay was protracted he was given h
regular table. AT this table there sat q
gentleman and his wife and one or two
lady relatives. They were SO much dis
turbed by the sight OF Mr.. Brewster that
they requested the landlord to remove
him, rs they said the sight of his counte-
nance destroyed their appetites. The
landlord went to Mr.. Brewster and frank
ly told him OF this request of his fellow
guests. Mr.. Brewster said: II am used to
such incidents, but if you can persuade
the gentleman and ladies who object to
me to consent to an introduction, and al
low me to talk with them Tor five minutes
am certain they will not ask TO have Inc
go away" After some argument the land
lord succeeded in persuadlng his sensitive
guests to consent to such Introduction.
The sequel is very briet. Before the stip-
ulated i've minutes had passed the entire
party had become so completely iascina-
ted with Mir. Brewster that they tenderei
him the most profuse apologies for their
previous objections, and atterward became
his firm friends and most devoted admir-
ers. He is married to one OF the most
beautiful women, the leading figure for
many years in Philadelphia society. In
dress Mr.. Brewster is very eccentric. He
wears ruffles of the style of seventy-tive
years ago. His coat is a blue swallow
tail, with brass buttons, and his waistcoat
is long and made of bright buff cloth. He
is one of the most singular!y-appeafine
men in every way that has ever assumed

A NEW EsOLE.
Twelve Lawyers Impaneled n
JurOrs-..Bu Taft Acts
rs Foreman.

| Cincinnati Commercial.
In the district court yesterday, when
the case of Jennie NJ. Symmes VS.. Nc
Mackin, a proceeding involving the
validity of the will of the late Gen John
McMackin, of Cumminsville, was called,
and jury demanded instanter, the court,
without considering the provisions ofthe
new law requiring drawing should
take place from the wheel, suggested
that good panel could be made up
from the lawyers then in the courtroom.
This seemed rather to meet with the
favor of the parties interested, and the
following lawyers were thereon impan-
eled: The Hon. Alphonso Taft, L. 2.
Bradstreet, L. w. Kittridge, j. J. Gid
den, W. L. Forrest, w. j. Koppock,
Joseph Wildly, II. T. Merrill, Z. i. Vii
son, Franklin I. Cahill and NJ. j. Day.
The case had been tried in the con-
mon pleas and came up to this court,
but before the hearing the parties hav-
ing settled the controversy, it was simply
necessary to have the verdict of a jury
pro forma.
The will was read to the jury, and the
presiding Judge Coz instructed them
that unless the testimony contradicted
the making of the viii, they would be
warranted in returning q verdict sus-
tanning it.
The jury of lawyers then retired to
the consultation room, and in a few
minutes returned with verdict sustain
ing the will
Judge Taft, the foreman, stated it was
the first time he had served as juror,
and was probably the first time any Of
these gentlemen had sat in that capacity.
None of the jurors demanded his fee,
and Mr.. Bradstreet, approaching the
clerks desk, stated that he wished his
fee to be donated to the first charitable
Institution that called.

The Old Folks at Home.

How many of us are getting so old or
feeble that we are compelled, as it were, to
u" stand aside from the active work of life
and see it performed by others. Some of
us-yes, in the large army of old folks who
weekly read these pages there are many
such. Others among us are reluctantly COM
PEELED to rest ON account of sickness or over
work, and at the first thought we are in
clined 10 rebel against this arrangement.
What with world full of work TO be done
are we to be laid aside Z No, we feel that
we cannot have it so. And If left TO our
selves we would have it different. But it is
a blessed thing that it is not left to our
selves aud if we are true Christians we
shall soon begin to realize it. An aged min
lister once remarked, When was young
felt as if the Lords work needed all of my
service, and that it could scarcely go on
without me, but now find it is / who need
the Lord, and not he who needs me-" And
that he was right will be confirmed by the
experience of nearly every aged Christian.
God can do his work equally well without
our poor help but for our own good he allows
us to work in his vineyard 80 long as we
have health and strength. When he takes
this away from us his work will not suffer
on that account we may be sure. Neither
shall we IL we take it in the right spirit. In
olden times when some of his children were
anxious to pull down the walls of jericho,
he told them to simply "stand aside and see
the glory of God" And so when sickness
and the feebleness incident TO old age comes
ON his followers here, this may be all that
he requires of us. God knows Just the best
time for each of his children To stop work

The Hardest Pears.


We have despaired of ever being able to
grow pears in Orleans county, but begin to
think we were discouraged too soon. Our
late experience leads us to believe that the
Flemish Beauty pear will succeed wherever
the Fameuse or Ben Davis apple will.
Clapp's Favorite is even harder, and St..
Ghislain is also a hardy sort We had al
ways supposed that no pear tree had ever
come to bearing in Northeastern Vermont
until lately, when we have heard Of several
in different places. One is within two miles
of our home, and yet, with all our curiosity
about fruit, we never heard of it until two
years ago last fall, when we accidentally got
hold of some Of its fruit, fine buttery pears
of good size and the very best quality. The
tree is apparently as hardy as the Duchess
of Oldenburgh apple. Crafts of it set in
Moose-mssi (Mountain ASH stocks year
ago made a strong growth, and passed
through the last severe winter without re-
ceiving the least injury, having already
(June 15) made new growth Of nearly a
foot from the terminal buds. The parent
tree is a good bearer, and we believe we
now have first-rate "iron-clad " pear sure
to succeed anywhere in Vermont or New
Hampshire. please don't write to us for
trees or cions yet, for we have none to
spare at presently. Horticultural professor
Budd of the Iowa Agricultural College
(who believes there is no immortality in do
ing something for the promotion of agri-
culture in such institutionD has lately i'm
ported many varieties of hardy pears from
Russia and Northern China, and promises
us some cions as soon as he gets little
ahead on them. We shall take much de-
light in testing these and distributing them
in the colder parts of New England We
would be glad to hear from any readers who
have succeeded with pears in cold localities.
The most northerly pear nursery we know
of (and where good trees are grown is that
of Benjamin Macomber of Grand Isle. We
hope that some of our enterprising fruit
growers in the colder places, who have not
yet tried to grow pears, will begin to ex-
pertinent with the sorts that have done we'll
with us. We will distribute cions of the
newer sorts as soon as we get start on

"Making Manure"

1t is curious what notions even intelligent
men have in regard to making manure in
the idea that the animal makes the manure.
There is sense of course in which this is
true. A stove makes ashes, and still
makes whiskey, and to the same extent it is
true that an animal makes manure; but in
fact it is the wood that makes the ashes, and
the corn that produces the whiskey, and the
food that makes the manure. The amount
and value of the ashes will be regulated by
the quantity and quality of the wood con-
sumed, and this is equally true of the ma
nure, its value depends on the food, the ami
NAL adds nothing to it. The truth is that if
you keep three times as much stock as you
now keep, you could not unless you bought
more food make one particle more manure
than you now make, with this exception
if you bought auimals in good condition and
kept them until they got thin, the amount
of flesh lost might be food in the manure,
or if any of the animals died you might get
an increase of manure from their carcass
but this is rather an expensive method of
getting manure, though we are sorry to say
not very uncommon one.

Plain Talk.

Don't be mean. DON'T be stingy. But
don't be extravagant. The young men and
young women of the present day are greatly
tempted in this direction. 1t requires more
than ordinary will to save your money now
adays. But they are not wise young folk
who, if they have it, do not save little.
We would not say, with Punch, to those
about to be married, "Don'tl" But we do
sincerely and seriously urge upon you, if you
would avoid anxieties that cannot be told,
pinchings, scrapings, bitterness, dependence
in after-life, make some regular provision
now for it while you are able and you will
thiuk, when you look back, that you were
wise. At any rate, let us try not to be car
ried away by that insane passion which
seems to possess the middle classes, particu-
larly in the present day,-that of appearing
richer than we are, and always outrunning
our income. Sydney Smith, who was both
witty and wise, whose drollery has almost
made people forget that he was learned
divine, made long and manly struggle
with his poverty as clergyman. He never
would pretend to keep up, even in London,
more appearance than he had money for.
lie admitted his poverty, and tried frugally
and honestly to feed and dress his family.
Sometimes, he took delight in mocking
aristocratic pretensions. One day, great
lady was coming to his house. He hung
paper lanterns on evergreens, and put a
couple of jackasses, with antlers tied on
their heads to represent deer, in the adj AGENT
paddock. One day, when county historian
asked him about the Smith Arms, he said,
THE Smiths never had any arms, but
have always sealed their letters with their
thumbs" And at another time, when an
announcement had appeared in the papers
making some one out to be great man,
Sydney Smith said of his own family, "We
are not great people we are common honest
people that pay our bills" Now, that is
the class OF folk we should belong TO. Draxy
Miller belonged to it. She had TO set up
house for her old father and mother. She
went to a sale of furniture, looking over the
, furniture as it stood in the house the day
before the role. She knew Just how much
she had to spend, but she didn't know how
much the things might sell for. So she first
made out list of things in one column
and wrote over that list "Must-hayes.
Then she wrote over her next list "Would
like-to-haves." That would be good plan
with all of us. Make sure of the "Must
haves," the necessities of life first of all
so far our money will go; then go on to get
the "Would-like-to-haves," if we can afford.
And, if we can't afford, we can't buy; but
still no harm is done by keeping list, as il
were, of Would-like-to-have " in this life.
