L. s'i urvmen till he had got them COM

ras not, however, stifled, as was evil
euced by the lowering brows and low
nutterings of the fourteen good men

he Coroner told them he would allow
hem to smoke, drink, or take any other
means they chose of avoiding the infec-

b. down stairs, however, one thirsty
bull suggested that they would have the

p%etotaler and non-smoker was in a sad
Eav. What was he to do? "Brandy

Black jack" said another. On me-
icinal grounds, this abstemious individ-
al at length brought himself to imbibe
glass of very weak whisky and water,
hit he could not brace himself up to the
ask of smoking even a Pickwick; he
paded sickness. 1t was quite a quar-

stance from an air-tight coffin in the
Prd, with a piece of glass at the end of

Matt. ariu: "A.
He will come, perhaps, at morning,
When to simply live is sweet;
When the arm is strong, unwearied
BY the MONDAY toll and heat;
When the undimmed eye looks fearless
Up the shining heights of life,
And the eager soul Is painting,
Yearning for some noble strife.
He will come, perhaps, at noontide,
When the pulse of life thrObs high;
When the fruits of toll are ripening, ...
And the harvest. time Is nigh;
Then through al the full-orbed splendor
Of the sur meridian blaze,
There may shine the strange new beauty
OF the Lords TRANSPORTED face.
Or it may be in the evening q.
Grave n sOmber is the sky,
Clouds around the unset gather,
Far and lark the shadows lie;
When we long for rest and slumber.
And some tender thoughts of home
Fill the heart with vague, sad yearning,
Then, perhaps, the Lord will come.

A Wall Street Story.

A good story is told in Wall street
apropos of the recent activity in the
Louisville and Nashville stock. w.
Williams, who, with Rufus Hatch, has
fought the Western Union through ali
the courts in creation, is largely inter-
ested in the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad, of which he is also a director.
He and President Baldwin are supposed
to have lost q great deal of money during
the drop. In any case, they assured
their friends but a few weeks ago that
L. & N. was the cheapest purchase on
the list at SO. Ithas gone below Al since,
and, with all the forced recovery of the
last few days, has barely seen anything
like so yet. Williams had, besides his
stock, a heavy line Of puts at A, and
naturally squealed when he discovered
that Jay Gould seemed deaf to any
proposition as long as the Western
Union suit was not dl continued. He
did not seem disposed to negotiate with
Williams, but consented some two weeks
ago to have an interview with Baldwin,
who had Williams carte blanche to
arrange matters. Everything seems to
have been so satisfactorily arranged
that it is ven reported now that Gould
is to enter the Louisville & Nashville
Board of Directors. His shorts were
covered with a large profit, and the suit
is to be withdrawn. But here comes the
hitch. ''Bob" Sewell, Williams lawyer,
was smart enough before taking the
case to make a clause by which Williams
had to pay BIN s250,0oo in case he
should make any compromise with
Gould without his (Sewell's) assent.
Now the question arises who shall pay
the money, and whether Sewell, in his
turn, will make any compromise. He
had a very soft thing in this case, not
only in the matter of fees and of the
possible S25O,00o but also in his profes.
sional victory over Judge Dillon and
General Swayne. Gould got tired Of
paying the big bills of Dudley Field and
his friends, and made a wholesale con-
tract with Dillon and Swayne for hand
ling all his litigations. But they were
not strong enough to beat sewell.-M.

Judge Hare, of Philadelphia. was
appealed to by Mrs. William McQuillan,
the mother of three little children, to
liberate her husband, who had been
sentenced to one years imprisonment

husband one more chance. l will re-
duce his sentence one-half-that is, to
six months-and while you r waiting
for him to come out perhaps you and

buggy. Both gentlemen admitted that
thoy wero interested in the 1900, 900

that they expected TO make
mountains OF money with Mr..
Vogel's invention. The latter consists
Of wheel which will be attached to n
horse by means Of pair Of buggy shafts,
and which will carry at the other end n
buggy seat. The inventor claims that
by means OF his new continuance alb
solute safety in driving is secured, as the
wheel can only tip or turn over in case
tho horse does the same thing. Besides,
he claims that his new vehicle can get
anywhere whore horse can get, and that
the horse will be able to make greater
speed in this continuance than in any

poets to drive through the streets of
