Mork for Repntable Citizens.

There are enough reputable citizens in
every community, however, and more
than enough, who, if they choose to take
little trouble about election time, could
put an end to 'boss practices and
purify all elections. For instance, the
primaries are usually taken possession Of
by the lowest grade of corrupt politi-
Clans, the henchmen of the bosses, "
and clean handed citizens and votersand
taxpayers generally give them wide
berth because of their foulness. There
is no necessity thus to surrender primary
or nominating coventions to the birds of
prey. Combinations of citizens deter
mined upon clean business can take pos
session Of these bodies, as they are in
duty bound to do, and compel them to be
representative of the voters.

Dear Madami
You will, L am sure. excuse me, though personal
stranger for addressing you by letter to convey to
you the assurances OF my own feelings and those
of my ctuntrSmen on the occasion of the
terrib attempt to murder the President of the
United States, in form more papable at least than
that Of messages conveyed by telegraph. Those
feelings have been feelings in the first instance of
sympathy, and atterward of joy and thankfulness
almost comparable, and, l venture to say,
ony second to the strong emotions of the
great nation of which he is the appointed
head. Individually have, let me beg
you to believe, had my full share in the
sentiments which have possessed the British nation
They have been prompted and quickened by what
venture to think is an ever-growing sense of har-
mony and mutual respect and affection between the
two countries, and Of the relationship which from
year to year becomes more and more practical
bond of union between us. BGtthey have 1so drawn
much of their strength from the cordial adInira.
ton of the simple herosm which has marked the
personal conduct of the President; for we have not
yet wholly lost the capacity of approaching such an
example Of Christian faith and manly fortitude
This exemplary picture has been made complete by
your own contribution to its noble and touch
ing features, on which | only forbcar to
dwell because I am directly addressing you.
I beg to have my respectful compliments
and congratulations conveyed to the Presi-
dent, and to remain, dear madam, with great es-

ceyed with gratitude but, far beyond this she req

people OF the British isles, whose sympathy in
this national and personal affection has been as

her chief pleasure in Mr. adstone's cordial letter

painful and wea way to health by many messages

safely receives and most gratefully appreciates.

A Cannon TwentY-Five Feet Long.

foundry of the Reading Iron Works.
1t is to be twenty-five feet long and
have bore six inches in diameter. 1t
is calculated that four or five months
will be consumed in its manufacture,
as in making the patterns and boring
out the pockets" which are located
along tho bore, the greatest accuracy
will be required. Experts who have
seen the drawings and have made the
subject of the manufacture of heavy
ordnance study, have expressed the
opinion that the gun will throw ball
distance of ten or twelve miles,
whereas five miles is a good range for
the best cannon. The charge of pow
der will be 1870 pounds and the weight
of shot $50 pounds. 1t is calculated
that shot from the gun will penetrate
through two feet of solid wrought iron.
1t will be taken to Sandy Hook when
completed, where it will be thoroughly

A Lady Lawyers RetOrt.

Learned counsel" upon the other side
has found out to his sorrow.
The Judge, who is so used to DONNA
ting his brethren of the bar, recently
met his match in the lady lawyer Of
San Francisco, Clara 5. Foltz who
clipped his wind in manner that we'll
nigh suffocated him. The story is too
good to be lost
The case of Tyler VS.. the Hibernia
Savings Bank was pending before one
of the city courts, involving the right
to certain deposit Of funds in said
bank. Tyler was his own attorney and
Mrs. Foltz was attorney for the bank.
1t seems that Tyler. by little bit Of
sharp practice, was trying to ring "a
"cold deck" in the shape of default
that had been enormously dated, the adj
mission of which by the judge upon
the bench would have sent the defend.
ant out of court. Mrs. Foltz showed
up the matter satisfactorily to the court
and the default was promptly set aside.
This nettled Judge Tyler considerably
and turning to the lady counsel he said
sharply, in o manner intended to be in
tensely impressive, that counsel had
better be engaged IN @thsr business"
that "a woman's place was at home
raising her children"
The words were scarcely uttered be-
fore Mrs. Foltz rose in her queenly way,
and flashing her blue eyes straight into
the Judges ford face, she quietly re-
marked: "A woman had better be en-
gagged in almost any business than in
raising such men as you are, sir"
The Court commanded order, but in
tone that seemed to appreciate the
justice OF the retort, while number of
lawyers in court, some Of whose heads
Judge Tyler has held in "chancery" on
former occasions, came near exploding
with suppressed laughter.
The counsel turned white with anger
and groaned in spirit, but concluded
that it was better to drop the subject

This is not, however, the only way in
