many men occupied seats around her. As
J0It OF the car precipitated the ladies
violently forward and almost caused the
one with the child TO lose her balance. the
Ola gentleman could evidently stand it no
longer. He advanced to seat close to
the ladies'. IN which were comfortably en-

Two stories of Judge BIack.

ON one occasion, when attacked on the
Democratic side of the House, Thad
stevens highly eulOgized Black as law
yer and man, but expressly withheld
any Endorsement of his politics, which
were as bad, he said, as possible. In
their originality. their courage and their
inileXibility, there were points Of resem-
blance between Stevens and Black,
though IN other respects the widest dis
similarity prevailed. There were no So
cial relations between them; they scarce
ly ever spoke, but, up to the time of his
death, stevens cherished the highest re-
spect for him, and Black has said
when Mr.. Stevens died, he was un-
equaled as a lawyer, and he said. the
smartest things that ever were said. but
his mlnd- SO far as a sense Of obligation to
God Is concerned, was bowling wilder
ness"
one day Black was surrounded by a
beYy of his personal friends on the floor
of the House, among the rest Judge Mer-
Ger, then the Bradford Congressman. who
turned to him and said: Judge Black
YOU have more friends on this side of the
House than on your own. You ought to
be a Republican. If you would join us.
we would appreciate you and give you
due prominence.'' To which Judge Black
made reply that he knew il all to be true;
the Republicans were good fellows; he
would like to belong to them, and there
was only one thing in the way. H," he
