III is barely possible that the
scriptural phrase, 'Let us eat, drink
and be merry, for tomorrow we die"
was in the minds of the negro murder
ers hanged few days since in Virgin
ia, who celebrated the eve of their ex-
ecution by a sumptuous dinner with
wine and cigars, paid for out of the
money for which they had sold their
bodies to the doctors. AT all events,
they gave it literal fulfllment;
though one would think it must have
been but ghostly kind of merry-mak-
ing. Still it is hard to say how the
prospect of death may have effected
human beings, one of whom, when the
Judge in passing sentence made the
usual payer, "May the Lord have mer-
cy on your SOUL" cried out, aye better

4 Little Romance of Broadway.

n 4AOtLt hOIudlJ6 VI
Three young girls from Jersey
City had left the ferry boat to walk
to the elevated road, says IL New
York letter, and unluckily were
provided with only one whalebone
and silk covering for their heads.
The narrow sidewalk made it al
most impossible for the three to
walk abreast, and consequently
one Of them, who was addressed as
Annie, received all Of the drip
pings from the caves Of the umbrel-
la upon her unselHsh head.
A gentleman walking behind
them noticed this, and tried, as
unobtrusively as possible, to shell
ter her with his own. For Il block
or 50 she ignored the attempt, but
finally was forced, in crossing the
street, to accept the courtesy,
which she did with an embarrassed
bow. 1t happened that the youth
had been well brought up, and un-
der5tood her fear lest he should in
any way take advantage Of his
courtesy to be impertinent, and be-
ing Of a rather mischievous turn Of
mind, he waited until he caught
her eye, as she slyIy looked up,
when, assuming that far look so
often seen on the faces Of the deaf
and dumb, he pathetically touched
his lips, and shookhi lis head.
The girl looked so immensely
relieved that he came near laugh
ing right out, especially when he
announced that he was specchlcss,
she showed she wasn't by quietly
observing to one of her friends
"Oh, Mary, isn't it too bad this
handsome young man is deaf and

The Age Of the Cat.

A member of the Hartford cOun-
ty bar, in relating some reminis-
ccnces Of the court in times gone
by, told OF a case wherein one of
the famous advocates Of that time
had badgered and crowded a wit
ness until he lost temper. The
witness incidentally said something
about a cat, and the crafty lawyer
seized upon this as a means Of still
further worrying the witness.
GLOW old was the cat!" asked
the attorney.
81 don't know" was the answer.
GLOW old did You think she
was?"
at was q tom cat"
81 didn't ask about the sex OF
the cat. / asked how old it was
"You asked how old she was
well, how old was that cat .
81 told You | didn't know"
"Well, how old do you think z"
"Oh, l can't tell"
"You can't tell how old you
think she was!"
tell you ! don't know"
"Now," said the attorney, 81
want a plain answer to a plain
question. How old do you think
the cat was!"
The witness looked straight at
the attorney, whose shining bald
head was the most prominent
feature Of his figure, and calmly
said 'Oh, ! can't guess how old
the cat was, but she was old enough
to be baldhcaded."
The lawyers ruddy face assum-
ed a deeper hue, the spectators and
members Of the bar Uttered, and
exen the. stern features of the court
relaxed into a smile at the answer
which ended that line Of cross-ques-
tioning.
