After Thirty Years.

The death of the late Judge j, S.
Black has brought up an incident that
occurred in New York in 1857. The
writer was little call-boy at the Astor
House at the time. and Judge j. S.
Black, the new Attorney General of the
United States, had arrived. His rooms
we've thronged with great and distin-
guished politicians. The next day
there arrived small gray-haired old
gentleman from the West. He regis
tered as Judge j. Williams, Iowa. For
a few minutes he looked over the regis
ter, and the little boy that was waiting
for an order noticed that all at once he
gave start and asked for card.
This card read as follows: ''The SUI
preme Judge of Iowa presents his COM
pliments to the Attorney General of the
United States" and taking up half
sheet of paper, Judge Williams wrote
the following:
oh, Jerry, dear Jerry, I've found yon at last.
And memory, burdened with scenes OF the past,
Returns to old Somerset's mountain of snow,
When you were but Jerry and was but Jo
In less than three minutes the great,
dignified Judge Black was coming
down the stair two steps at time, and
the little bell-boy in close pursuit. The
scene in the Office of the Astor House
will always be remembered by those
who were SO fortunate as to be wit
nesses. Two old schoolmates and law
students were together after separa-
ton of some thirty years. Two old
men embraced each other and neither
able to utter word. Both have passed
away, and no better representatives of
the American bar, that have sprung
from humble origin, can be found in

pana and Mamma.

Nobody ever heard son or daughter
of the soil salute laborer or woman
father and mother as papa and mama,
and few ever heard the children of
Baron or Earl, in fireside converse and
before school days were over, address
papa and mama as father and mother
OF late years, indeed, mainly in the
great towns and cities, many of the
working classes, who .'wil likne hymn
self to gentil men," have adopted papa
and mama, but with difference ana
Joyous to a heraldc difference; papa has
become papa and mama mamma,
with the accent on the first instead of
the last syllable On the other hand,
the genhl families which have adopted
the plain English father and mother,
not, perhaps, without dash of the
pride which apes humility are continu-
ally increasing in number. Papa and
mama, the French appellatives, like
the Welsh tad and mann, daddy and
nanny, have never found their way
into serious literary English as substi-
tutes for father and mother They are
not, in fact, synonymous They are so
10 speak, the vocative cases of father
and mother, just as puss is the vocative
case of cat. Where they are not voca-
tives they are relative forms. Pater
famllias is father OF his family for all
the world; he is its papa for itself
alone. The growing disuse of the world
and the substitution in many eases of
the Latin patel and mater are, fancy,
mainly due to the fact that school boys,
and especially public school boys, re-
gard the use of pa and ma and their
reduplications as connecting a molly
coddle. An eloquent Countess in a
southern shire at the last general cleo
ton made an admirable speech on be-
half of her eldest son, who was one of
the candidates for the family borough.
When his Lordship appeared on the
platform the next day to speak | OBJ
served that he was extremely discon-
certed by the greeting of large and
CHEEKY yeoman, who disapproved alike
of lady orators and the politics of the
lord of the manor: Good evenin,' my
Lord! 'Ow's your Map" Whether or
not that one word sealed his Lordship's
fate do not know. but it certainly
damaged his chances of election, and l
have never since been at any loss to
understand why the words papa and
mama are gradually falling into desne-
tude. -NOtes and Queries.

Marriage.

Marriage is, of all earthly unions, al
most the only one permitting of NO
change but that of death.
1t is that engagement is which man
exerts his most awful and solemn power
the power of responsibility which be-
longs to him as one that shall give &C
count-the power of doing that which
in this world can never be reversed.
And yet it is perhaps that relation
ship which is spoken of most frivolously
and entered into most carelessly and
most wantonly.
1t is not union merely between two
creatures, it is union between two
spirits; and the intention of that bond
is to perfect the nature of both, by
experimenting their deficiencies with
the force of contrast, giving to each
sex those excellencies in which it is ma
turally deficient; to the one strength of
character and tirmness of moral will,
to the other, sympathy, meekness, ten
derness.
And just so solemn, and just so glori-
Gus as these ends are for which the
union was contemplated and intended,
Just so terrible are the consequences if
it by perverted and abused; for there is
no earthly relationship which has so
much power to ennoble and to exalt.

Statesmen,s Stimulants.

A reporter of The Washington Critic
interviewed the bartender of the
National hotel in that city, and OBJ
tanned the following information re-
garding the favorite beverages of sena-
tors, representatives and other promi-
nent men at the capital:
what seems to be the favorite drink,
nowadays?"
THAT depends on the section If

as a rule. Now New England man
likes rum; the eastern man, whisky,
while the southern and western men
are heavy on mixed drinks. Men diff
fer however, in their tastes. There
was old Senator Bogy. could always
tell what he wanted, and when he
came in would set it out without ask
ing question-gin and sugar was his
drink. Senator Ferry never came in
the bar, but he was great drinker of
sherry in his room. Davis. of West
Virginia, generally took straight whis-
ky, he was not much of a drinker,
though. Judge Davis never came in
bar, but had sherry and whisky sent to
his room. Maxey, of Texas, never
takes anything stronger than lemonade.
Coke takes sugar and whisky. Bayard
takes the same. Pendleton is very
fond of whisky punch. Jones, OF
Florida, never mixes anything with his.
He drinks whisky and takes it out of q
water glass, having an aversion to small
glasses. Jonas and Vest, as rule.
take it with little sugar Eaton, of
Connecticut, was pretty regular. He
sometimes took whisky, but most gen.
orally wine. He seldom came in with
any one. He would drink small bot
tie of Mumm's extra dry, pay tor it and
walk out. There was old Senator Dave
Armstrong, of Missouri He always
took whisky and lemon, forty drops.
Lapham, of New York, would start on
whisky, but there was no telling what
he would wind up on. John b. Clark,
of Missouri, generally took it straight.
So did Van Horne. Proctor Knott
never mixed it, and always wanted
odd Bourbon Page, of California,
and George, of Oregon, as a rule, took
straight whisky. The great obiector,
MIR. Holman used sugar and water.
Alexander Stephens never came into the
p"i-Ioohi, tnouSu uo was regular
drinker. He carried little eight-ounce
vial of the very best whisky in his
pocket. General Phil Cook, of Georgia
is one of the most jovial congressman
that comes in here. He takes little
sugar in his whiskey."
''How is it none of them drink
beer?''
VERY few of the old-time fellows
drink beer. especially men from the
south. The young men are the beer
drinkers"

The reception of King Alfonso, of
Spain, in Paris, on Saturday last, was
not of character to confirm his belief
in the proverbial politeness of French
men. Because the German government
had appointed King Alfonso to Col
onelcy of Uhlan regiment, of which he
was not aware at the time, the Paris
mob regarded him as favorite of En-
peror William, and the hostile demon

arrival in that city vera, however, but
outward manifestations of that bitter en-
nifty and jealousy towards everything
German which rankles in every French
mans heart The news of his reception
created a painful feeling in Madrid, and
it is possible. it was intimated in Madrid
journals it might be made state affair.
President Grevy visited the King and
exerted himself to smooth matters over,
rendering him an apology for the con-
duct of the roughs, which the King ac-
cepted, and it is thought now no further
attention will be paid to the insult.

Thoroughness and Neatness Pay.

lnteiilgent observers have generally
noted the fact that in every rural neigh
pornood the prosperous farmers are al
most invariably those who keep their
buildings painted, fences in good re-
pair, and their fields free from stone,
weeds and rubbish. OF course it may
De SAID that men who have plenty of
money can afford to spend it for keep
ing up appearances. But this is evil
IDENTITY not the full explanation of this
coincidence OF facts. Men who make
money, especially in farming. are least
inclined TO lay it out merely for show.
1t may be safely put down as gen.
eral rule that the work performed by
most thrifty farmers is in the direction
of profit, hence, as neatness commonly
goes with thrift, it is quite as likely
to be one of its. causes as one of its
effects. There ale exceptions to this
rule as to all others. Some farmers ac-
cumulate money still more rapidly,
not by increasing their income, but by
system of grinding parsimony, by
robblng themselves and cheating their
families to put dollars in their purses.
These are not examples to be initiated.
The aim of most reasonable men is
not only to make money, but in the
meantime to live in reasonable and
comfortable manner. To accomplish
these objects it is not difficult to prove
that neatness is essential.
There are many reasons why habits
of neatness in farming lead to success.
Such habits are none too common, and
in every business the men who do their
work In the most thorough manner get
the best pay. The world is full of
poor work that of necessity can be
poorly paid The farmer who grows
his crops among weeds can never sell
his grain at the highest market price,
while the extra care needed to secure
| absolute purity is sure to be proper
tionately well paid. Farmers under
stand this well enough, as is shown
by their periodic endeavors to secure
pure seed for sowing and planting. If
we go to almost any market we will
lind that the bulk of crops is more or
less mixed, and, therefore, unstable
for any purpose. Almost every spring
there is an active demand for seed bar
ley, and not infrequently farmers buy
from seed stores, paying from two to
four times the price at which they sold
their grain the fall previous. In al
most any neighborhood a farmer who
will grow pure seed of the various
grains will find demand for his entire
stock at prices enough better than mar
ket rates to assure him profit. When
we are told that farming is not pro-
titable, the implication is that reference
is made to the commonly slovenly
method. The fancy kinds Of farming,
such as growing seed and garden vege-
tables, nearly always pay those who
intelligently conduct them. Yet seed
growing and gardening are really as
true farming as growing hay or making
butter and cheese. They are only bet
ter paid because they cannot be con-
| Quoted without close attention to details
and it is in this that neatness consists.

A Quaker Marriage.

At Quaker wedding in church at
Philadelphia last week, the pair took
their places on the lowest tier of the
raised seats. At the left of the bride
sat two elderly ladies attired in strict
Quaker barb. The groomsman and
bridesmaid sat in front of the congrega-
ton, facing the couple and their spon-
sors. Then the groom rose and, clasp
ing the hand of the bride, who also
stood up. said: lin the presence of the
Lord and this assembly | take Deborah
Brooks to be my wife promising.
with divine assistance To be unto her 4
faithful and loving husband until death
shall separate us. The voice of the
bride repeated the words. The pair
sat down, when the marriage certificate
was read and then carried and laid
upon small table in the raised seats.
From there the groomsmen raised and
carried the table to the front of the
bride and groom. who signed the GER
tiiieate which lay upon it. The table
and certificate were restored to their
places. and the Quaker wedding was
over. Chicago Times.

The sad story of the Jeanette is
again made fresh in public minds by
the publication in two large volumes
of a connected story of the disastrous
expedition. The matter is compiled
by the widow of Lieutenant DE Long,
from her late husbands records and
papers, and the work is said to have
been done with fidelity to facts and
with the tenderness of interest born Of
wifely sorrow. Perhaps from this
authorship of the volumes the story
may not have that value in historic
point of view that would otherwise be,
but the work will be read with mourn
full interest. The impression has been
and is gaining that poor DE Long had
not the years, the experience, or the
patient administrative force to con-
duct such an expedition, and, though
tenderly written, nothing in these vol
nmes will be apt to remove that iudg-
ment from the public mind.

Ex-Mayor Prince, of Boston, who is
travelling with his family in Europe,
was nominated for Lieutenant Gov
ernor on the Democratic ticket with
Butler. cables his declination of the
honor. lie claims his reason for 50
doing, is the critical condition of his
wife's health; but it is stated by those
who know, that the real reason is his
anti-Butler proclivities and that at heart
he is opposed to Butler, although he
does not express himself openly. An
other theory is, that Butler insists upon
Princes nomination to kill him off as a
Democratic vice-presidentia candidate,
as he is is likely to be defeated
whether Butler is or not, and that would
leave the presidential field clear for
Ben, but it did not work Surely it is
n sorry outlook for old Ben this year
in Massachusetts, when such man
on the ticket as Prince declines.

traders speak confidently of the success

he has enough votes pledged in writing
