4 The son of "A heading lawyer in New
York, some wears ACE. was attracted hV
the innocent face aud quick Wit of a
Welsh chambcrmaid in his father ;
house, and declared that he preferred
her to all the fashionable beauties who
had courted his notice. Ills family pro-
tested, but to no purpose, The only con
cession he would make was to consent
to 90 TO Europe for three years before
marrying the girl. In the meantime,
having an Independent fortune the lover
placed her at one of the best schools in
New York. The girl was ambitious and
devoted in~her affection to the man who
had chosen her He returned and found
her more lovely than ever. They were
married, and the lady is now one of the
leaders of society IN the city where they
live a noble, refined charming woman.
An eminent jurist, Wen known in
Pennsylvania in the early part of this
century was making the circuit on
horseback. and stopped for dinner AT
sthe house of n farmer. The daughter
of the farmer waited on them, and the
judge who had been a cynic about
women observed the peculiar gentle
ness of her voice and 4 certain sweet
candor in her face. After dinner the
Farmer said:
> MARY, bring the judges horse. >
Mary started to the field. which was
inclosed by barred fence. Laying hen
hand on the topmost rail, she yaulfed
lightly, over.
! Il saw" said the Judge afterwards,
''for the first time woman with the
mind and body | should require in my
wife. l called again and again at Farm
er c. :. At last | sent Mary to school
for couple of years, and here she is, .
nodding at the stately matron who pre-
sided at his table.
. The sons of the judge and this real
Maude Muller all attained distinction;
one. like his father. at the bar; another
was an eminent divine, and third was
a southern candidate for thepfesdency.
All were noted for their fiery e1oquence,
their high sense of honor and a certain
appetite for fighting. which was well
sustained by strong physical health. The
judge had not been mistaken in Mary Z
qualities of mind or body.

Mike Mcdonald of CHICAGO :

Mike Mcdonald of Chicago, says he
was waited upon the other day by two
prominent refOrmers and told that SEQ,
900 was at his disposal if he would labor
for the reform" citizen movement This
must be true, for with all Mikes faults he
has never been accused of willful lying.
The incident illustrates of what stuff the
Chicago refOrmers are made Locality
makes but little difference in the methods
of self-cOnstituted reformers.

A German Bluff.

Some time ago the government received an
offer of compromise in the matter of its claim
against A. G Hesing ("Boss" Hesing), of
Chicago, and some others, on account of cer-
tain old whisky cases. The original judg-
ment against these parties was for $4,000,
and they offered to compromise for S2,250.
Michaelis, II rival German editor of Chicago,
however, wrote to the secretary Of the treas.
ury Offering $4,000 for tho judgment, and
placed that amount on deposit in Chicago as
an evidence of good faith. He sent here the
certificate of the deposit, which was made
subject to his own order. Solicitor Raynor
of the Treasury department, has written
Michaelis, and without accepting or declin-
ing his offer, informs him that before the
government can entertain his proposition he
must deposit the $4,000 subject to the order
of the secretary Of the treasury according to
the provisions of the law.
