Two Clerical Stories.

From the Buffalo Courier.
clergyman, who had recently taken
charge of parish in small town in Mas
sachusetts, relates that he was called upon
to attend . funeral few days after he had
assumed the performance of his duties. As
he entered the house Of mourning he was
met by a member Of the bereaved family,
who said: "You are an Episcopalian, be-
Iieve." Eyes" "Well, sir. 1 don't know
much about your practices, but I believe
you like to undress and dress good deal.
Perhaps you would like to go up stairs and
put on your shroud.n
This reminds us Of a story told by ven
erable bishop in one of the New England
diseceses. He was called upon one after.
noon by Baptist minister, who asked him
if he had any objections to taking charge
Of o funeral. The Baptist brother stated
that he had suddenly received bad news,
had but very short time to Ditch the
train, and was obliged to call upon the near.
est Christian clergyman. The good bishop
assented at once, and started for the house
Of mourning. Upon arriving there the
family cordially thanked him, and then
suggested that short address in eulogy Of
the deceased was expected, and would be
most welcome. II complied, said the
bishop, "but it was very difficult, as had
not the most remote acquaintance with the
contents Of the b01.s

GLADSTONE, the premier of one pr

GLADSTONE, the premier of one party in
England, has lately given to the public one
of his ideas of civil service by elevating an
eminent lawyer Of the minority to the
bench, and that, too, with the knowledge
that the district left vacant by the promo
ton would inevitably elect tory to sue
ceed tory. A good deal is said about the
benefits arising from keeping the Judiciary
out of politics, but it appears that England
is far in advance of the United States in
this respect. Judicial positions in this
country, with comparatively rare exceptions
are regarded as among the legitimate spoils
of political victors.

Webster Argues a whole Docket.

Mr.. Webster's centennial birthday was an
occasion for many anecdotes in the New
England papers. It is related that Friend
from Nantucket once objected because Mr..
Webster asked him $1,000 to 60 to the
Island to argue case. @I would as soon
argue the whole docket, said Mr.. Webster
who didn't wish to make the long trip. The
Friend said that he would give the great
lawyer 81 900 If he would argue such cases
as he shouldlpresent before his own case was
called. When Mr.. Webster got to Nam
tucket he found that the Friends case was
at the foot Of the docket and that he was
expected to argue the whole docket through.
He did SO and received the 81 900, but his
client, who had "farmed" him out, cleared
$1,500. besides winning his case.
