WalpOle the Briber.

In the British Museum is an old guinen,
and on the card to which it Is glued the
folio wing old memoranda: ''This guinea

House of Commons; he asserting the
verse in Horace to be null pattescere

and the receiver ought not equally to

to my posterity the use of knowing

ing"
This notice is signed "Poulteney."
The story it refers to is one OF the most
curious in English history.
William Pulteney, afterward Earl Of
Bath, was remarkable alike for his ora
torical talents and his long and consist
ent opposition to the measures of Sir
Robert Walpole, the great Wing Minis
ter. On the 18th of February, TAI,
Walpole received an intimation In the
House of Commons that it was the inten-
ton OF the Opposition to impeach him.
To this menace he replied with his usual
composure and self-complacence, merely
requesting fair and candid hearing, and
winding up his speech with the quota
ton:
''Nil consire sb multi pallescere culp@."
Pulteney Immediately rose and OBJ
served "that the right honorable gentle
mans logic and Latin were alike inaccu-
rate, and that Horace, whom he had
just misquoted, had written 'nutia pal
tescerc cuipa.' Walpole maintained
that his quotation was correct, aud a bet
was offered. The matter was referred to
Nicholas Hardinge, Clerk of the House,
an excellent classical scholar, who de-
cided against Walpole. The Minister
accordingly took a guinea from his
pocket, and flung it across the house to
Pulteney. The latter caught it, and,
holding it up, exclaimed:
cts the only money L have received
from the Treasury for many years, and it
shall be the last.
This guinea, having been carefully pre-
served, finally came into the hands of Sir
John Murray, by whom it was presented
in 1923 To the Museum, where it now is,
a significant relic of the statesman whose
theory it was that every man has his
price"

PROF. VIRcHow, of Berlin, has lately
dealt the vegetarians a blow. The ad-
vocates of vegetable diet have gener-
ally maintained that animal food was not
natural to man. This is denied on ana
tomical and biological grounds by Prof.
virchow, who shows, as the result of
anatomical inquiries, that not only man,
but such animals rs the gorilla, nearly
allied to him in the scale of being, are
indisputably fitted to be omniverous.

that they regard him a. . greater man
in consequence. Thackeray describes
"Old Col. Newcoms." after his son
grew up, hearing loud laughter in his
sons room, and going up to have some
of it; but as soon as he enters the boys
all shut up and look grave. This Is tho
penalty of being President. The smile
of verdant years has passed from the
Magistrate, and he is alone in cold SUI
premacy of power.

After all his lifelong work upon the

fame and abilities Justly command, John
h. Cough is not rich man. His private
charities are as large and numerousa as they
are transformations. for this great hearted
man does not let his left hand know what
his right hand does. He has met with
frequent and heavy losses on account of
the tender-hearted wi lingness with
which he puts his va pahle autograph on
the back of friend Oalbum for ninety
days, and the almost infallible certainty
with which he is compelled to get it back
again for himself when the three short
months have flown. Mr.. Cough ought to
be worth $4,000, but like most men
whose hearts are wrapped up in, and
whose lives are consecrated, to some great
work of reform, he is not good bust

THE new basket-lunch system on the
Boston and Albany railroad grows in
favor. Orders are taken by al agent
on each train, and telegraphed forward
to the station where the baskets are de-
ivered. There are six bills of fare, and
the uniform price is 40 cents. One bill,
for example, comprises two turkey sand
witches, two slices of buttered bread,
two boiled eggs, and some pickles. The
baskets have neat compartments, and
are furnished with plates, knives and
forks, and napkins. Extras in the way
of fruit, drinks, etc., can be ordered at
reasonable prices.

IT has been solemnly resolved by the
learned pundits of Southern Legisla-
ture "that the only true pronunciation
of the name of the State is that received
by the French from the native Indians,
and committed To writing in the French
word representing the sound, and that
it should be pronounced in three sylla-
bles, with the final 5 silent, the "a
in each syllable with the italian sound,
and the accent on the first and last syl-
tables, being the pronunciation formerly
universal, and now still most commonly
used and that the pronunciation with
the accent on the second syllable with
the sound of "a in man, and the
sounding Of the terminal IS, is an in
novation to be discouraged" Where
fore, it is called Arkansaw, and not
Arkansas.

The San Francisco Chronicle says
that a great discovery has been made in
the Mojave desert, which seems destined
to revolutionize viniculture in Southern
California. 1t has been found that
grape cuttings inserted in the trunks of
the cactuses on the desert grow and
thrive as vigorously ~ i'll cultivated
land. This fact is of great Importance
to the people. BY the use of a chisel n
man can plant a large vineyard in day,
and the vine SO planted will climb the
cactus and grow luxuriously, without
cultivation or irrigation. The dry, hot
sands of the desert will afford fine
place for drfng raisins. In addition to
grapes, it has been proved that melons,
cucumbers and tomatoes will grow from
cactus stock, so that the desert may
soon bloom IA the rose.

GARFIELD's character, writes " Gath, Z"
has picked up in public curiosity con-
siderably since he became President.
The severe duties and responsibilities
imposed upon him, together with the
criticisms upon his mild nature during
the campaign, have apparently brought
him into the Presidency with the loss of
most of his boyish manners. He no
longer slaps people on the back, or puts
his arms around them and pulls them
toward him; and such is human nature

THE men employed at Krupp's manu-

cannon; Greece, 700; Sweden, so /;

A SINGULAR incident took place in the
engine-room of Weed, Parsons & Co. S
printing establishment. In one corner
of the room stands the machine which
furnishes the electric light for large
dry-goods store, the power from which
comes from Weed, Parsons & Co. s
huge engine. One feature of the ma
chine is the armature, a wheel contain
ing coils OF insulated wire through which
the electricity flows in powerful currents
when the apparatus Is in operation.
The armature revolves with terrific We
locity and constitutes a powerful mag
net On the day mentioned young
man came in and ground pair of large
scissors at an emery wheel near the gen.
orator. Turning to go out past the ma
chine, he carried the scissors carelessly
in his hand, when they were Immediately
drawn into the armature and were soon
revolving with it at frightful speed. The
young man got out of the way as quickly
as possible and was unhurt. For few
minutes the machine presented very
startling spectacle. The whirling scis-
sors, twisted and broken, but still ad.
herring to the revolving armature, began
to cut tho wires, and thus. broke the cleo
trio current which escaped in streams
from the fractured ends Of the wires, and
in moment or two that portion of the
room was literally filled to the ceiling
with whirling lightning, looking like a
huge piece of Fourth of July fireworks.
No one dared to approach the monster
to stop the machinery for some little
time, but the belt was finally thrown
of, and the rather-dangerous show was
at an end. The incident afforded a
striking illustration of the power of the
agent which man is endeavoring to rem
der subservient to his will.

THE Rev. John Jasper, the we'll
known colored preacher, of Richmond,
Va, continues to lift his voice in advo-
cacy of the theory that "the sun does
move" He seems to be thoroughly
in earnest. He lectured the other day
at Norfolk, Va, upon his favorite theme.
His logic about the distance of the sun
from the earth, says local print, was
very fine, when, with contempt, he said
some wise men, so-called, stated the dis
lance to be 40, 600, 600, others so, 900. 600,
and one as much as 104, 900, 900 miles.
+" Whar could you get tape line long
enough to measure such a distance !?
And how could man get up close
enough to the sun to hitch it on 80 as to
measure? The railroads can't get thar.
The balloons come nearer than anything
else but who can go up? Now, In
August it is 30 hot here that folks want
an umbrella. fan and plenty of ice
water and yet these wise men say we
are 1O4, 900, 900 miles from the sun. 1t
is too foolish to believe such stuff" To
his mind the idea of the earth being
round is so foolish that he would not
insult his hearers with any argument on
this subject. The scriptures say the
earth has four corners-and that was
proof to him that it is not round. How
could men be under their feet? How
would they stick to the earth? Dey
must be like feas. that can walk on the
walls. 1 don't believe any such stuff
