One OF Webster'S Stories.

Daniel Webster was fond of a good
story, and told a few illustrating his
early life in New Hampshire. One
evening at a convivial party. where he
and several distinguished lawyers were
present. the conversation happened to
urn on the legal profession. ''When 1
was a young practitioner" said MI.
Webster, ''there was but Gne mar at
the New Hampshire bar of whom l was
afraid, and that was old Barnaby. There
were but few men who dared to enter
the list with him. On one occasion Bar
naby was employed to defend a suit for
a piece of land, brought by a little,
grabbed. cunning lawyer called Bruce.
Bruce's case was looked upon as good
as lost when it was ascertained that
Barnaby was retained against him. The
suit came on for trial, and Barnaby
found that Bruce had worked hard. and
left n stone unturned to gain the vic
tory. The testimony for the plaintiff
was very strong. and unless il could be
~impeached, the case OF the defendant was
lost. The principal witness introduced
by the plaintiff wore 3 red coat. In

A Rum-Seller's Experience.

4 Thousand Wives.

Do what they may. no Mormon lead
er will ever equal the Sultan of MorOc-
CO, Sidi Mulcy Hassan. who has just adj
ded the one thOusandth wife to his
harem, and has celebrated this unique
millenary by a brilliant feast given to
the other 999, or rather to the other
600, for 400 are either dead OF pen
stoned off. Like the MOrmons, the Sui
tan does not keep all his better-halves
at one place, but. distributes them
among his winter and summe resi-
dences at Fee, Morocco, Tablet, and so
forth. Even then, unless he has more
palaces than fall to the lot of most En-
perOrs, there must be enough in each
house to seriously interfere with har-
mony now and then. We wonder if he
felt as much pride and satisfaction
when he added the thOusanth to the
number as Baron Tauchnitz did when
he published the thouSandth volume
of his convenient collection of British
Authorsy:" For we imagine that after
a man has married his three Dr. four

point we must speak with the doubt

miser who heaps up stores; a pleasure,
which, in this line of boarding. only
one man in the modern world, fOrtu-
nately, is allowed to have. 1t is Gu
riOus. however, to observe that, while

us Occidentals, are beginning to fade
away. A son of this very sultan, the
Prince Muley Edris, not long ago mar
red an Italian governess, who did not
give up her religion, and who stipu-
lated that she should be the only wife;
and a brother of the Sultan. the Sheriff
of Wezdan, has an English wife, who
no doubt was equally determined to
have her husband all to herself. -BOst0n

Rosewood for Pianos.

The defects of rosewood are undoubt-
eddy making themselves felt at this sea-
son of the veal more than any other,
and therefore n discussion of the matter
is o timely, and if a general course as
regards this material could be decided
upon by the manufacturers and dealers
it would not be impossible that a check
ing piano might be Il thing of the past.
In this connection | might say that it is
not merely rosewood as a material that
should be eliminated from the a N
featuring of pianos, but the veneering
process with any material. 1t is this
process of veneering. or the covering of
one wood with another b. glueing. that
is the real cause of the trouble, and We
fear there4s only one safe and sure way
out of the difficulty, viz: to use only
solid woods. The use of solid woods
Immediately suggests the idea of cary
ing which of urs gives opportunity
for considerable proper and artistic
decoration which would lead to im-
proved outlines and styles of cases. The
uniformity of styles amongst the
various makers to-day is a bOuntiful
source of evil and furnishes 3 good
chance for much of the misrepresenta-
ton and consequent dissatisfaction on
the part OF customers. If some OF the
~well-known and respectable makers
would inaugurate the plan OF a more
general custom of requiring time to pro-
duce a piano after the order was given,
or in other words develop their ''cus-
tom-made department." it would be a
step in the right direction. The trouble,
however, is that leading makers are I'M
willing to yield up the prestige of repu-
tation which causes the ignorant bu!! ers
to hope that this particular brand may
not have the ordinary rosewood. and so
they 60 on, only afterwards to make
explanations. There is one fact. how
ever, that there is a difference in rose
wood, and q mighty difference in the
manner of ~veneering. and if the trade
will not unite in dispensing altogether
with it, let them Join in recurring the
best quality of thick veneer, for there is
much that can be prevented Of the pres
ent Encouragement with even rose
wood.-BostOn Musical Observer.
