Signing n Ouit-Claim.

A good story is told about the court
ship of David Davis. The Judge was
extremely reticent about his new
matrimonial venture, and, after it was
positively known that he was engaged
to Miss Burr, he lodged and evaded
every " feeler" that was thrown out
by his numerous friends. In fact, the
repeated denials on the bridegroom's
part, and the air of mystery thrown
about the affair, attracted more atten-
ton to the romance than would have
followed frank avowal of the engage
ment. With all the good-humored
nagging that the Judge has suffered
during the past three months, he has
one consoling episode to remember.
Last winter Miss Burr and Miss
Green, the daughter of Representative
elect Green, of North Carolina, at
whose residence the wedding took
place, visited Washington as the guests
of Mrs. Hoge, the wife of the Repre-
sentative from West Virginia. Both
these ladies were anxious to visit the
White House and see the President,
but the Judge did not wish to escort
Miss Burr. He was perfectly willing
to show Miss Green the sights, and he
addressed note to the President, say
ing that he wished to call with lady
at the Executive Mansion. The Presi-
dent appointed time and the visit was
paid.
Miss Green is young and very hand
some person, and the President i'm
mediately jumped to the conclusion that
she was Judge Davis intended bride.
He showed her every attention, escorted
the couple through the house and the
conservatory, plucked bunch of flow
ers for the lady, and talked until the
Judge became impatient to leave.
When the couple returned to the hotel
the old gentleman observed to Miss
Burr that Miss Green had captivated
the President. A few days later the
Justices of the Supreme Court dined
with the President. Judge Davis was a
guest. When the cigars were lighted
the President, with mock formality,
rendered his congratulations to the
President of the Senate. The Judge
protested that there was no reason why
he should be congratulated. The Presi-
dent persisted in his congratulations,
and the Justices demanded to know the
mystery. The President told of the
visit of Judge Davis and Miss Green.
The veteran jurist pooh-poohed the idea
of marrying the lady, and he squirmed
under the pleasant congratulations that
were proffered on every side.
"You may deny as much as you
please, Judge, but you don't dare to
sign II quit-claim in my favor" banter
ingly remarked the President. The
Judge drew piece ofpaper and pencil
from his pocket, and, in careful lega
form, drew up and signed relinquish
ment of all his right. title and interest

term of one year. This he signed ant

ence of the court. General Arthur was

Davis to Miss Burr was announced

Two or Three New Ones.

1t was only two or three years ago
that the owner of grist mill on creek
in New Hampshire, having capacity
of about fifteen barrels per day, entered
the mill one morning and said to his
son:
John, I've been thinking"
"Yes, dad"
"Flour is too low"
"She is that" sr
"We are all grinding too much"
"We are"
"H.we grind less flour the market
will stflen up and prices will advance"
THAT'S it, dad; your head is as long
as mill-race."
The mill was shut down for four
months, and at the end of that time
flour was just as plenty and the price
was no higher.
"John. I've been thinking" said the
old man as he concluded to start up
again.
"Of how we missed itp"
"Exactly. You see my idea of shut
ting down was all correct, and calcu-
lated to lessen the supply and increase
the demand, and couldn't think what
in Halifax was the matter. I've got
her now"

"Why, jist about the time we shet

mont, and hence the market continued

The Unwisdom Of Virgins.


The ides Of March have come and they
havo gone, and there has been no great
storm and Wiggins still lives. Virgins
staked his hopes of reputation as a
prophet and OF profit as an almanac
maker upon tho great storm, the like of
which no man had seen. He really
commanded admiration by the reckless
specification into which he madly rushed.
was to be and Just what the storm was
TO do. He disdained the cowardly pru-
dence of the ancient almanac-makers,
who strung down along the margin of a
month the vague and spectral warning,
"Look out for rain about this time" He
stak d his all--that Is, his almanac
upon n terrible tornado with binding
snow and driving rain and hurling
thunderbolts and fervent heat and bitter
cold upon the 9th of March. This was
adesperate venture. If it had succeeded
the almanacs of Virgins would have
sold by hundreds, of thousands and Wig
gins would have been consulted as an
oracle by anxious agriculturists and pro-
jectors of pionics.
But Virgins failed. There was not
even so much of storm as may gener-
ally be expected about this time. And
so there was nothing for Wiggins to do,
when his desperate game had gone
against him, but to make himself
scarce and seek secluson from the indig-
nation of the outraged people upon
whose credulity he had performed. This.
however, is what Wiggins declines to
do. He actually pretends that which he
predicted has come to pass. Upon the
authority of man in Halifax who con-
sidered Friday rather disagreeable day,
Wiggins, instead of calling upon the
ground to open and swallow him, is in
viting interviews with reporters and tell
ing them that it is all right.
This is not wise in Wiggins. There is
nothing that becomes a aconspicuously dis
credited weather prophet as modest still
ness and humility. And when the
weather prophet has kept some hun
dreds of people on shore whose business
called them to sea, and has interrupted
the avocations of thousands of other peo-
Pile, that seclusion is not only the part of
decorum but the part of prudence. The
Gloucester fishermen are large and
healthy persons, and many of them are
of violent temper. When they reflect
upon their own conduct and what it has
cost them to stay ashore consuming alco-
hol when they might have been at sea
catching fish, their first impulse will be
to inquire for Wiggins. And when they
learn that Wiggins has not fled to the
wilderness but has remained in Ottawa
and is brazening it out, it is to be feared
that they will send a deputation to con
vince Wiggins that he at least has been
visited by tornado of unprecedented
violence, and to make manifest to him
that, in the language of the late Lore
Brougham, "the thunders of heaven arc
sometimes heard to roll in the voice o.
an united people. IN. Y World.
