Paying for a Little Brief Authorit,

HARTFORD, CT, March 25.-Judge
Shipman, of the United States District
Court, has given decision in the case of
the New York and Charleston Steamship
Co. VS. Alexander HARRISON, of this city,
to recover a balance of $4,000, claimed to
be due on the charter of the steamer
Charleston, which conveyed the COnnec-
ticut troops to Yorktown and Charleston
in 1881, The decision sets forth that the
steamship company, although aware that
Mr.. HARRISON exceeded his official author
ity as Quartermaster-Gener in con-
tracing for extending the trip beyond
Yorktown, yet elected to have him sign
the charter party officially, hence the
court holds the liability a personal one.

for | have wanted to see you alone, but
have not been able to. You must know
what il is have to tell you, for no man
can be in the sunshine OF your presence
without loving you. Oh, Miriam, !
love you ! Nay, love is too cold word
to express my feelings. Will you be my
wife, Miriam?'
Doctor McJames was pale with the
great passion which had thrilled his
soul. His eyes were burning and
bright as they searched her face for one
tender look. and his hand, which had
taken hers, closed over il with fierce,
over-mastering grasp.
She was looking away across the sea.
Presently she turned and faced him.
Then in the coolest tones, she asked:
"ls it myself, or my fifty thousand
dollars that you would marry?"
All the scorn subdued feelings of
twelve years rang out in that clear,
cold, but proud, voice.
"Yourselfi What care for wealth. ?
Come to me penniless. have wealth
enough for both, or will work for you.
"wait, Doctor MeJan,es until re-
peat your words Of twelve years ago.
Let me show you how we'll remember.
You said Of Miriam Roscoe, the poor,
friendless school.teacher. "If she were
worth fifty thousand, would marry
her tomorrow am worth four times
that now, and you come saying that
you love me. Had you said so then,
the poor girl would have believed you,
and Miriam Roscoe would have been
your wife. But-hear mc-l am glad
you did not say it, for when crepi
away, after hearing your cutting words
to my friend-your cousin Carrie
determined to te worthy of Nc James.
Years ago should have thought your
offer made to night to be- the best in
the world. Now can only say that
am sorry if you suffer through caring for
me-"
The sweet voice was silent; the
waves moaned and sobbed like some
doomed, lost soul.
''ls there no hope !" he asked.
"None."
"Oh, Miriam, can you not forgive
my youthful, foolish and mcrcenary
words? Miriam, let me live for you,
and prove my love by that -
Her face turned white as his, and 4
look OF pain came to her grave eyes;
then softly with word Of tenderness
in her tones:
al can give you no hope, for | am
engaged to marry Mr.. Herbert. We
have loved each other for a long time"
A gasp for breath, and the strong
Doctor McJames had tainted. The
love of his life had come too late.
Jack Herbert led Miriam away from
the balcony, thinking that his friend
would recover quicker il he did no;
awake to see the one he loved SO in
tensely.
Herbert and Miriam were married
quietly the following day, and as at
first, they still continue to walk in the
glory Of perfect love.

ARIsTocRATIc IDLERs.

Cor. Detroit Free Press.
The men who do no work and yet
live on the fat OF the land, are constant.
ly increasing in New York. | do not
refer to the clever fellows who pick up
all sorts of odds and ends by their wits,
but to the high toned idlers along Fifth
Avenue and thereabouts, who toll not,
neither do they spin, and yet dress in
the best, and fare sumptuously ever day,
chiefly at the clubs. Most Of them are
the sons OF men who laid up fortunes
by just as hard work rs any of our busy
merchants are doing now. The for
tunes were put into real estate or some
other form Of permanent investment,
and now yield handsome annual returns.
We have landlords in New York whose
rent rolls run from Sso, 900 to $50, 700
a year, and in some cases to 100000
These, need hardly say, are exclusive
Of the Asiors, Goelcts and other heirs
to enormous estates. We have scores
Of rich men, who made great fortunes
in trade or by speculation, and who
rank rs millionaires, though their names
are not often seen in the papers. As a
rule, the sons OF these magna,es, Of the
first class and second, have on inclina-
ton to work.
II was enough for their fathers and
erandfathers TO do that. What they
live for is to have good time-to dress
at the top Of the fashion, drive fast
horses, be hail fellows well met with
nabobs OF the clubs, get invitations to
stylish dinners and receptions, and in 4
general way copy the manners and dress
Of the English aristocracy as closely as
possible. A good deal has been said
from time to time about the growth OF
n privileged class in New York. This
class is very large one and it includes
another class, which may be called the
community of aris,ocratic idlcrs. As
families require large wealth, and set
up in the fashionable world, this class
steadily increases. Our friends the
communists dislike it greatly, and would
like to pull it down, but il keeps on
growing, and will continue to do so.-
Its existence is, no doubt, one Of the
inevitable consequences Of the accumu-
lation of money in individual hands.

TRYING TO talk QUAKER.

Ii is no easy matter for a novice 10
fling "Quaker" fiuently. The tongue
becomes confused with its triple choice
of pronouns. and flaps listlessly around
the palate.
we'll recollect my clumsy effort to
engage in conversation with farmer,
whom I met in Chester county, the
Quaker stronghold Of Pennsylvania
When happened upon him he was
sitting upon a worm fence, vacantly
staring at a cream -colored colt in the
adjacent field. at once OWNED him
to be friend in undress, and deter
mined to delight the old fellow and
amuse myself by carrying on 4 skillful
dialogue in his own idiom. This is
how succeeded:
"How do thee do, sir, Is-that is,
are thee meditating1"
II he was delighted, he controlled
his emotion admirably. All he did was
to cape and inquire:
"Hey1"
"The fields, the birds, the flowers"
| pleasantly pursued, "are enough to
bring thou dreams-i mean dreams to
thou"
He was looking at me nov, and criti-
cally. I felt thar my syntax had been
very idiotic instead Of idiomatic, 50.
wiping the sweat from my brow and
hat, eyed him calmly and observed.
"ThUse cows, are they thy's-or
thee's-thaiis, thou's-dum il mean
thine's1"
II was very unfortunate. He crawled
down from the fence, nibbled al plug
Of nickle-nugget-an act Of itself suffi-
cient TO un Quaker him-and rs he
ambled away, muitered Indignantly:
"Go ate your pantsl I'm a tramp.
but gintleman."
