HOW DANIEL WEBSTER PAID HIS BILLS.

The late James Il. Fields used to
relate in the most graphic manner
the particulars of mis- first interview
with the godlike Daniel. Mr.. Fields
was then a lad fresh from the coun-
try. serving as junior clerk in the
bookstore of which he afterward be
came the head. Being the junior
clerk. he was dispatched upon the
most hopeless errand which the
business of the store afforded name
ly, to collect long standing and
over growing bill from Daniel Web
ster Every one else in the store had
tried and failed. 1t was now the
turn of tho new hand
He went into Mr. Websters office,
made his most graceful bow, and
handing the bill, said in his politest
tones:
1.-The firm present their compli-
ments to you. Mr. Webster. and beg
to remind you that their account has
been running for good many years.
and they would be extremely obliged
to you if you could settle it this
morning"
Young man." said Webster how
can man pay his bill who has no
money? Look here; see for your
self"
Saying this he opened his desk.
and 10! there lay heap of bank
notes which he had received some
time before. and had totally forgot
ten.
Il beg your pardon, young man; l
have some money. l was not aware
of it. Help yourself"
The young man counted out the
money. signed the receipt, and went
back to the store with the light of
victory in his eyes.

A Snow PLow.-A Kansas City in =
ventor has recently patented snow
pillow which promises to take the
place of the cumbersome scoops which
are attached to locomotives running
on Northern railroads during the
winter. 1t is an arrangement of
steam pipes which can be heated at
the will of the engineer, melting the
snow as the engine slowly advances.
The form of the ordinary snow pillow
is preserved so that the snow in shall
low cuts can be thrown aside. as by
the pillow now in use; but when deep
drifts are encountered the steam can
be turned on in tine pipes, and the
road cleared in far less time than it
can be done with shovels. Another
advantage in the new invention is
that it will leave an additional EN-
bankment to catch still greater
depth of snow in succeeding storms.
