No. don't think there has been such a

that the ticket Arthur and Foster has been
talked about in pretty influential quarters
and if let alone and not too prominently

The sun-spot theory to account for
stormy weather is beginning to gain cred
i9ility among scientific men and others.
Telescope examination shows that during
the past few weeks the surface of the sun
has been covered with spots of unusual
size and number, indicating great solar
disturbances, and we all know that in the
meantime we have had more and severer
storms than have been known in this part
of the world for years 1t is an unsolved
problem as to the extent of the influence
the sun has upon the EARTH electrically
and meteorologically. but it is very Ger
tain that during this season and in this
country the sun-spot theoryof terrestrial
disturbance has been strikingly confirmed
go far as the coincidence of sun spots
and the character of the weather is con
cerned. The question, however, as to
whether the bad weather is really caused
by the sun-spots, is still an open one.

A LAWYER FOOLED.
The ElOquenoe which Won An Old Sol
G-er's Suit

A distinguished company OF lawyers
sat in the Supreme Courtroom recent
ly talking over old times Among
them was Colonel Charles S. Spencer.
He was in his usual happy vein, and
told new story,
II was retained, he said. ''by an ex-
soldier OF the war to sue for the recovery
ot some $500. which he had loaned TO
a friend. The late Edwin James was
counsel for the defendant / went to
work zealously for my client james
GrOss-examined the plaintiff in his usual
forcible way.
'You loaned him S1.800?" Mr..
James asked
II did, sir, was the reply.
1t was your own money! Mr..
James continued.
. 1T was, sir, my client responded.
When did You lend him the
money!" was the next question
lin July, 1866, was the reply
. Where did you get that money,
sir?' Mr.. James asked sternly.
81 earned it, Gir The words were
said in meek me.
You earned it. Ell? When did you
earn it?' asked Mr.. james.
During the war, sir, was the reply,
still III very humble tone.
You earned it during the war.
Pray, what was your occupation during
the war? Mr. james asked.
Fighting, Sir, the man replied
modestly.
Oh, fighting Mr. James said
somewhat taken down, and instantly
changing his manner
Il smiled triumphantly, and even
snickered a little. James was half
mad. Well, we went to the jury and
|, of course, had the last to say I
sailed away up to glory. l spoke of the
war, of the lives and treasures it cost
us; OF the awful battles that decided the
fate OF the Union; of the self-denial and
bravery Of our men who left home, and
wife, and children, and father and
mother, and everything that was dear
to them, and went forth to fight for
fireside and fseedom, and the salvation
of the nation, | pointed to the plant
iffas he sat there, still with the same
air of humility, and even sadness |
said that was the sort Ct man who had
fought our battles and saved our flag,
and shed his Likelihood That. we and our
children might enjoy, lncurtailed. the
glorious blessings Of freedom wrenched
from the hands of despots by our sires
/ worked up that jury, and the plaintiff
himself drew forth an unpretentious
handkerchief and wiped away tear. l
got a verdict for the full amount, of
course. fe8
: LAS we were quitting the cpurtAusnn
James said: Spencer, your war speech
gained you the verdict. If you hadn't
discovered through icy cross-examina-
ton that the man had fought in the war
you would have been beaten
e My friend / replied, if You had
only asked the man which side he
fought on, you might be going home
with verdict. My client was an old
