A Comedy of Errors i'll Real Life.

A ludicrous incident recently took
place in Liverpool. There are two
brothers who parted many years ago
when boys, one of them going to
America to seek his fortune and the
other remaining in Liverpool to
make it. They have both been emil
nently successful in this respect, and
not long ago the brother in America
determined to visit the brother in
England. The time of the visit was
settled by correspondence, and the
American set sail. The Englishman
is notorious wag, and arranged that
an acquaintance should meet the
American as his brother and conduct
him to the hotel. The American,
who was also a great wag, on the
trip decided to play exactly the same
Joke on his brother. asking an ac-
Ouaintance whom he had met on the
ship to personate him for a few hours.
The acquaintance entered in the
spirit Of the joke, and when the ves-
sci arrived at Liverpool was found
by the persOnatOr of the English
brother and driven to the hotel. The
real American brother followed more
leisurely, chuckling over his Joke.
In the meantime the English brother
had also gone to the hotel, bursting
with merriment over. his joke. 1t
happened that the two real brothers
met in the lobby of the hotel. and,
though they had been parted so many
years, they knew each other. At
first, with blank amazement they
greeted each other; and then, as they
explained their mutual jokes, laughed
long and heartily. But the climax
was yet to be reached. An explana-
ton in regard to the gentlemen who
had personated them, and who were
now, as they imagined, playing a
huge joke on each other, showed
that they also were brothers who had
been separated from boyhood, but
who did not know each other when
they met. The first pair of brothers
hurried up to their parlor, and after
the situation had been explained all
around, the comedy of errors was
pleasantly ended 10y an old-fashioned
English dinner.

A Naughty Boy.

A boy who went in swimming and
got a bottle full of ants, tells this
naughty yarn: This morning, when
pa was dressing for church saw his
liver pad on chair, and noticed a
hole in it, and I thought what a good
place it would be for the ants. I
took the liver pad into my room and
opened the bottle and put the hole
over the mouth Of the bottle and I
guess the ants thought there was
something to eat in the liver pad,
cause they all went into it, and they
crawled around in the bran and con-
dition powders inside of it, and I
took it back to pa, and he put it un-
der his shirt, and dressed himself,
and he went to church. Pa sqairmed
little when the minister was pray
ing, and I guess some of the ants had
come out to view the landscape.
When we got up to sing pa kept
kicking, as though he was nervous;
he felt down his neck and looked
sort of wild, the way he did when he
had the jim-jams. When we sat
down pa couldn't keep still, and I
liked to died when 1 saw
some of the ants come out of
his shirt bosom and go racing
down his white vest. Pa tried to
look plous and resigned, but he
couldn't keep his legs still, he sweat
MORN a pail full. When the minister
preached about the worm that never
died." pa reached for his vest and
scratched his ribs, and he looked as
though he would give $40 if the min
lister would get through. Ma she
looked at pa as though she would
bite his head off, but pa he just
squirmed. Say, does ants bite, or
just crawl around? Well, when the
minister said amen, and prayed on
the second round, and then said a
brother wAo was a missionary to the
heather would like to make few re-
marks about the work in Bengal, and
take up collection, pa told ma they
would have to excuse him and he lit
out for home, slapping himself OH the
legs and on the arms and on the
back, and he acted crazy. Ma went
home after the heathern got through,
and found pa in his bedroom, with
part of his clothes off, and the liver
pad was on the floor, and pa was
stamping on it with his boots and
talking oHel.-Exchange.

Comment On the Haverstick
Tragedy.

NEW YORK, March 28.-7rib,t1le
editorial: For the sake of the repu-
tation of New York City, we regret
that the Conkling homicide is not to
be submitted to jury of II reputable
and sensible men. There would
then be thorough investigation of
the killing in Vienna Fats, and we
should know positively whether or
not murder was committed there.
At the present this point is by no
means clear. The coroner sent Conk-
ling, the slayer of Haverstick to the
Tombs, and the judge of the supreme
court, on reviewing the evidence, on
ly saw fit to release him on bail. lie
didn't let the prisoner go free; 4but
Yesterday Chief Justice Smith, on
precisely the same evidence, decided
that it was a case of justifiable hon.
icide. There has been altogether too
much foolish sentiment in this mat
ter, although there has not been an oc-
currence in the city for a long time
which needed calmer investigation.
This community now stands COM
mitted to the Nevada method OF
avenging personal injuries in a way
that does 1t no credit. The opinion OF
IL men. and nOtthat OF one, should
have settled this serious matter. Is it
too late for grand jury took into it?

How Impromptu Oratory is Made
Corr. Cleveland Leader.

11O" 4uApiSAAPIIA OA S@o0AJ ~ ~"As~s~S
Corr. c .eveland Leader.
I am reminded of the story of Sen
ator Hoar's great "impromptu"
speech On education and labor, which
he delivered in the Senate several
years ago, the inside history of which
has never been published. 1t is an
illustration Of the way great men
prepare extempore speeches, which
they get off on the spur of the mo-
ment, to the amaZement of the COM
mon mind. Senator HOar is a pOrtly
man, with round face, high fore
head and short gray hair. He keeps
himself closely shaved and comports
himself with the dignity that be-
comes the Senator who represents
classic Boston. Some time ago, his
family leaving the city, the Senator
shut up his house and procured
rooms on New York avenue. These
rooms were separated from the suite
back of them by doors, above
which, there was q tran
SOM, and in this suite lived
two Jolly clerks of the treasury. For
some time after Senator IiOar TOOK
the front room the clerks did not
know who their neighbor was; but
morning after morning, they were
awakened by him stamping around,
pounding his table. and declaiming
with energy, going over the same
sentence time after time. On the
third morning one Of them swore he
would find out who this elocutiOnist
was, and moving table to the door,
he was enabled by standing on bis
toes, to look through the sransem.
There he saw the portly senator, i'll
night-shirt and drawers, going
through his rhetorical gymnastics be-
fore a large mirror, practicing every
gesture and studying his part more
carefully than the players in "Ham-
let.n The other clerk was aoon by
his side, and they took turns at the
transom. "For two weeks,' says my
informant, "Hoar practiced that
speech, from one to two hours every
morning before be delivered it ex'
temporaneously in the Senate"

Salve Wanted for a Broken
Heart.

CHICAGO, March 27.-Judge Meal
lister delivered an opinion in the ap-.
pellate court to-day in the case OF
Nathan A. Stone against Dora Apple,
breach of promise. Stone promised
Apple in April, 1881, to marry her
September 25th following. Both OF
them are Jews, and when the day ar
rived 1t turned out to be Yom Kip
pur, Il Jewish festival on which no
Jewish priest would celebrate mar
riage. Consequently Stone declined
to be married on that day, and two
DAYS afterward Apple sued him for
$4,000 damages on the ground OF
breach of promise. The jury gave
her $1,000 damages. The appellate
court overrules this and decides that
no 20 d Jew can be compelled to
marry on Yom Kippur, whether he
promised to or not. Miss Apple WAS
evidently not disconsO'ate over
Stones default, as she has since mar

Your telegram received, for which

from San Carlos, reports the young
bucks on the San Carlos reservation
very restless last week and they
showed every evidence of an earlv
outbreak. They talked of victory
gained by chief in Mexico who said
he would soon be at San Carlos. Cour-
iers, this informant states, have been
constantly passing between the reser-
vatiOn and the Juhs band in Sonora.
Information is also received of band
raiding IN southeastern Arizona,
which is drawing from the reserva-
tiOn and increasing in numbers daily.
AS far as heard from twenty-one peO-
pie have been murdered and buried in
seven days. Advices from Sonora
place the depredating band there at
not less than $50, who are being driv-
eu to the Arizona border by Mexican
troops. If the Mexican troops pursue
them across the border they will like
ly be forced into Richmond, where
the renegades now are and receiving

A Tombstone dispatch says: Yes

fire to the country in order to burn
them out; not secceeding, they at

Young heard a number of shots in
