yet as fine as camePs hair; this is made
with hunting jacket and overskirt and
has many rows of soutache braid of the
same shade for trimming. Large bows
and sashes of dark red satin ribbon are
used with white costumes of various
fabrics, such as nuns yelling, dotted
muslin and cream-white batiste. Very

How Webster Took a Drink,

The route between Boston and New
York by way Of New Haven had just
been opened, and | was occupying o
seat with Mr. Webster when the cars
stopped at the latter city. Mr.. Web
stcr was not well. and, saying that he
thought it would be prudent TO take
some brandy, asked me to accompany
him in search of it, We accordingly
entered bar room near the station,
and the order was given. The atten-
dant, without looking at his customer,
mechanically took decanter from q
shelf behind him, and put it near some
glasses on the counter.
just as Webster was about to help
himself, the bartender happened to look
up, started as if he had been spirit,
and cried "StopH' with great vehe.
mence. He then took the decanter
from Webster's hand replaced it on
the shelf from whence it clme, and dis
appeared beneath the counter. Rising
from these depths, he bore to the sur
face an old-fashoned black bottle,
which he substituted for the decanter
Webster poured small quantity into
a glass, drank it of with great relish,
and threw down half dollar in pay
ment.
The bar-keeper began to tumble in
the drawer, as if selecting some small
en- pieces OF change, whcreupon Web
ster waved his hand with dignity, and
with rich and authoritative tones pro-
nOunced these words:
My good friend, let me offer you
piece Of advice. Whenever you give
that good brandy from under the coun-
ter, never take the trouble to make
change
As we turned to go out, the dealer in
liquors placed one hand on the bar.
threw himself over it, and caught mo
by the arm. "Tell me who that man
is" he cried, with genuine emotion.
"lle is Daniel Webster" answered.
The man paused, as if to find words
adequate TO convey the impression
made upon him, and then exclaimed,
in icrvcnt half whistler, "By Heaven,
sir that man should be President Of
the United Statesm
The adjuration was stronger than |
