A Story of Refus Choate.

In order to counteract the Odious re-
putation arising from the many
modes of thwarting and defeating
justice in the interest of debtors and
of delay, certain judges conceive
themselves to be inspired by divine
mission for "dispatching business"
which reminds one of the celebrated
dialogue between a Chief Justice of
Massachusetts and Mr.. Choate:
Chief Justice-You must be brief,
Mr.. Choate F.; the calendar is long, and
/ have great many cases to dispose
of. State your points briefly.
Choate-Ifyour honor has not time
to hear me without condensing my
argument before it is made. prefer
to wait unit. 1 can make it in full.
Chief Justice-I haye time to hear
you, but you must be brief.
Choate--But | wish to be heard in
full, and cannot afford to be brief.
Chief Justice-Mr. Choate, you are
aware that l sit here this morning for
the dispatch of business.
Choate-Indeed Then ask to
have this argument postponened un-
until your honor is ready to sit for
the administration of justice.

women in Perm.

The Peruvian ladies do not work /;
they consider labor disgracefuI. Yet
they are generally occupied. They
rise early, take cup of tea. and go
to mass. Their walking suits are
neat and pretty in this respect they
surpass us. The dress is black, and
never touches the ground; there is
no fussing or fumbling with trains.
A white skirt is sometimes seen a
little below the dress, with deep
hem and two tucks, and always
white and clean. Prunella CATERS
are generally worn; the hands are
bare the ma,atd is thrown over the
head, falling gracefully down almost
to the bottom of the skirt, and gives
them charming appearance fer it
may conceal many defects of face
thai is not handsome, and it sets off
to advantage the charms of beauti-
full face. A lady never goes out alone
in Lima two or three 60 together,
and black woman servant walks
behind. Young girls are carefully
escorted by their friends wherever
they go, and are never permitted to
see persons of the opposite sex alone.
All the matches are made by older
people, and so effectually is this done
that the ladies all marry, and none
are divorced. The subject of dress
claims most of their time and atten-
ton their ball dresses and opera and
soiree suits are magnificent. Their
boots especially are beautiful. No
people have naturally as small feat
as the Peruvian. The ladies are not
very intelligent, and care little foi
music or books. They love to smoke
Although handsome when young,
they scarcely turn twenty when they
begin to fade. One thing always lasts
with them. and that is their gait.
Their movements are gliding and
graceful, and the same is true of the
men. On the street they never jostle
each other. Their manners are eX-
cessively courteous; but their con-
yersation amounts to little, being
chiefly gossip about domestic affairs.

A Nevada Story.

A gentleman of this place has a
tree which is species of acacia. 1t
was grown from seed brought from
Australia. The tree is now a sapling
some eight feet in height, and it is in
full foliage and growing rapidly. 1t
is leguminous and very distinctly
shows the characteristics of the
mimosa, or sensitive plant. Regu-
larly every evening, about the time
the "chickens go to roost," the tree
goes to roost. The leaves fold to-
gether, and the ends of the tender
twigs coil themselves up like the tail
of aforementioned pig. After one
ofthe twigs has been stroked or hand
led. the leaves move uneasily and are
in a sort of mild commotion for a
minute or more. All this Was known
about the tree, but it was only yester-
day that it was discovered that the
tree had in it much mere of life and
feeling than it had ever before been
accredited with. The tree being in
quite small pot, one which it was
outgrowing, it was thought best to
give it one of much larger size. Yes
terday afternoon the tree was trans
ferred to iLs new quarters. 1t resented

nately ene-two. one-two, but without
hurry or PRECIPITATION" The great
peril of persons unable to swim and
suddenly entering deeD water is
paralysis of muscular power from
fright, and Mr.. McCormac is not far
from the truth when he says !:
Nothing is less difficult, whether
for man or brute, than to tread water,
even for the first time" The mere
knowledge of this fact might N some
cases inspire those wholly lacking in
natatorial experience with that con-
tidence which is one of the best safe
guards against drowning. The rule
to "tread water when you find your
elfbeyond your depth" and to ,foat
when you are tired" is certainly
simple enough and practicable enough
to be tried in an emergency.-N. Y

Faithful Mary Burt.

About fifty years ago a prepossess-
ing young woman appeared sudden
ly in small mountain village near
Asheville, North Carolina, and OBJ
tained work in farmers family.
She called herself Mary Burt, but
gave no further clue to her origin.
Her tasks were so skilfuIly perform
ed and she could sing a song, dance
reel and tell story so we'll that she
became village favorite. Fifteen
years later the e.mystery surrounding
her was forgotten. Having declined
more than one good offer of marriage,
she settled down as good-natured
old maid, became the benificent
"aunt" of thenoighb0rhOod, and was
finally pursuaded to take charge of a
country school near by. After sever
al years of teaching her whole charac-
ter seemed to change. She became
moody, melancholy. and fond of soli-
tude, Purchasing lovely and lone
ly spot among the mountains, she
had rude log hut built, and there
she lived without any ompanionship
but that Of her dog, cat, COW and
chickens. Her only book was the
Bible, and this she nearly learned by
heart.
The publication of this woman
hermit's story in the Asheville Citi-
zen not long ago brought solution
of the mystery. The article was cop
led into IA Vermont paper, and attrac-
ted the notice of Robert Fletcher.
a prominent citizen of that State, and
Fletcher soon after visited Asheville.
sought the editor of the Citizen, and
together they went 10 Miss Burt's
house. The hermit did not recognize
the Nermonter, but she soon learned
that he was her old lover. A mis-
take had kept them apart for half a
century, but when Fletcher left Ashe-
willie a few days later, Mary Burt
Howe, for that was the hermit's full
name, accompanied him as his wife.
When Miss Howe and Fletcher
were young they were engaged to be
married. The young woman iancied
her lover was attached to another
girl, however, and suddenly left her
home in Maine. GDing to Boston,
she shipped as steWardess On a ship
bound for Liverpool. The vessel was
wrecked on the North Carolina coast,
and after many adventures at sea in
an open boat and among friendly III
dians on land. Miss Howe found her
way to civilization. Robert Fletcher
traced his runaway sweetheart to the
ship on which she sailed, and hearing
of the loss of the vessel, always
mourned her as dead till the North
Carolina paper gave him a happy
surprise .-SprinQfeld Republican.

The reasons given by persons for
committing suicide are as diverse as
they are generally foolish. An Ala
bama father committed suicide be-
cause he thought his wife loved their
daughter more than she did him; a
California girl because her father
married a woman who was her
junior; Rhode Island mason be-
cause he carelessly built a wall out of
plumb; a Georgia negro because he
could not feel that he had satisfac-
tory quantity or quality of piety; a
Maine farmer because a balky horse
exasperated him and Michigan
bride because her husband of three
days swore at her.

that has ever washed Itself. Other
parties have been defeated, taken by
force out Of office, and ducked under
the pump of public exposure. The
Democrats can inform us from per-

tions as to the best means OF prevent

seaside bathing is at hand, which
means for many the drowning season,
Mr.. McCormac's study of this subject

one getting into water beyond his
