An Editorial a Little Too Precious

a good story is told of the two senators
from Massachusetts who were both invited
TO preside over cplorad meeting, at which
George L. Downing, Of Nsw York, was to
deliver an address Oh Charles Sumnei.
They both accepted, but CHANGING to men !
Sion the subject TO each other, Senator
Hoar withdrew, ana only Mr.. Dawes at
tended. He found only about a dozen
people present, and Mr., Dowsssng refused
20 speak. The next day the Washington
Republican had the following #Ihe leo

1--WE Speeches.
From the New York Sun.

I'LL h.A9 A,fSf3 LIAM MI (, &
" A practical joker is justly served when his
victim pays him IN his own coin. Among
the humors Of the stump" is told capital
Y instance Of this sort Of retribution The
characters in the:story were the late Senator
Morton and Gen. George A. Sheridan Of
Louisiana ".
Some years ago, when Mr.. Morton made
famous campaign in Indiana, he was &C.
companied by Gen. Sheridan.
The senator's health was OF that time
very poor. and whenever be did not feel
equal to making his speech Mr.. Sheridan
took his place. .ss
Upon one occasion, both orators were to
deliver speeches, and Mr. Morton, who had
. remarkable memory, by way Of Joke,
delivered Sheridan's speech. The ground
being thus taken from under the general s
feet, he vas for q moment nonplussed. But
as soon as the applause had died awayhe
arose and began to deliver Mr.. Morton's
speech. B
In this speech Mr.. Morton discussed tbs
subject Of hard and soft money, and had a
dramatic way of producing silver dollar
and q greenback. Sheridan had SO often
heard the speech that he was able to initiate
it exactly. Thrusting his hand into one
pocket he produced q dollar note, and
/ holding it up to the audience. he ex-
claimed,
What rs this? Is this money? No, my
fellow citizens, this is not money. Let me
read it to you: The United States promises
TO pay to bearer one dollar That is not
money. That's merely a promise to pay
money!
When Mr.. Morton in making this speech
mad arrived at this point, he would return
the note to his pocket and produce a silver
dollar. Sheridan was about to do the same
thing, but found to his dismay that he had
no silver dollar with him. The audience
began to litter at this, when Sheridan,
turning to Morton, who was listening to his
OWN speech, said, ssa
Senator, lend me that silver dollar
which you use when you deliver this
speech!"
1t is needless to say that this was as good
as play to the audience.

American eiaIlaIitry.

Some one has said that if England is the
paradise Of horses, the United States is the
paradise OF women. Our good sisters are
SO accustomed to the politeness Of their.
brethren, that they look upon Its eyhibi-
ton as an ordinary occurrence. Perhaps if
they view it through English spectacles,
they may estimate it as something excep-
rionRl in the worlds manners, and conduct
themselves accordingly:
Sir Samuel Baker, the distinguished
African explorer and traveller, and his wife
are now at the Gilsey House, New York.
In conversation with a Herald reporter,
Lady Baker said w 4s7
It is indeed surprising to an English
woman who is cquainted with the manners
Of the English masses in the colonies to
\ lind rnen in their ordinary walks Of life SO
deferential, reserved and courteous to
ladies as they are here.
AS an instance of this, fact added
Sir Samuel, take orr ex oerience while
hunting in the Yellowstone country this
summer. Now, in the Africa colonies and
elsewhere Lady Baker has at times been
forced to hear remarks from mechanics and
others that were not very choice. Tin all
our experience, during the many weeks We
hunted, ate ana mingled with COW boys,
ranchmen, freighters and the various types
sof our frontersmen, mot one single dis
courteous word did we heat: ]"

Miscellaneous Items.

At recent trial in the Kansas City
Criminal Court, Judge White reproved
Messrs. Bouscaren and Kenyon, attorneys
for the defense, for the manner in which q
witness had been allowed to testify. The
attorneys became indignant and refused to
go on with the case, asking the court to APP
point new counsel. Judge White ordered
them to proceed, but they still refused, and
Mr.. Bouscaren was peremptorily commit
ted to Jail. The Court then read the in
structions to the jury and the case was COM
mitted to them without argument. After
being in custody about one and a half hours,
Bouscaren, at the conclusion of the case,
was released. The attorneys say that the
end is not yet, and another fight to test the
limits of Judge Whites authority will
probably be the result. Some OF the young
attorneys are determined that they will not
be ssset upon'' and are touchy as to their
rights.
Ex-Collector Greene, of Jackson
County, has been arraigned on the indict-
ments found against him, to all of which he
pleaded not guilty. The indictments were
divided into three classes, according to the
charges brought, from Nos. 1862 to 8, 789
inclusive being the misdemeanors; from
Nos. 1854 to 1850 being the felonies, and
the one which charges him with loaning
public money for profit to himself. In set
ting the bond the Court ruled that the
amount must be sufficient to compel his at
tendance, and be therefore set the misde-
meanor bonds at 5000 and the felonies at s., 0o0
each, making an aggregate bond of $40, 900,
the arrafgnment having released the

accepted in the persons of Beale Greene, the
prisoners father; Thad. Greene, his brother;
Joe Mercer, Ben. Holloway and Sam Hayes.
The Prosecuting Attorney announced him
