A Joke of Associate Justice StOrY'S.

The invitation to go to Washington
with Judge Story did not imply any
promise of attention after we arrived
in that city, as he was careful to point
out when [ received it. "The fact is,
said he, II can do very little for you
there, as we Judges take no part in the
society of the place. We dine once a
year with the President, and that is all.
On other days we take our dinner to-
gether, and discuss at table the ques-
tons which are argued before us. We
are great ascetics, and even deny our
selves wine, except in wet weather."
Here the Judge paused, as if thinking
that the act of modification he had
mentioned placed too severe a tax upon
human credulity, and presently added:
What I say about the wine, sir, gives
you our rule; but it does sometimes
happen that the Chief Justice will say
to me, when the cloth is removed,
Brother Story, step to the window and
see if it does not look like rain And
if l tell him that the sun is shining
brightly, Judge Marshall will some
times reply: All the better, for our
jurisdiction extends over so large a
territory that the doctrine of chances
makes it certain that it must be raining
somewhere, and it will be safe to take
something. '"-JoSiGh QLi1ecy'S Diary.

An AStOniShed Recruit.

When Col. Coppinger, the son-in-law
of Senator Blaine, was stationed at
Camp Verde, Arizona, as the Captain
of one of the companies of the Twenty
third Infantry. in 1872, the writer
happened to be the witness of an Incl
dent that illustrates the character and
disposition of the man. A band of re-
crrlits arrived one day, filled with fear
and terror of the officer under whom
they were to serve for the ensuing five
years. Report and rumor had pictured
Coppinger to them as being pirate
Captain and a prosecutor of the rank
and file. Coppinger, attired in a suit
of clothes that might have distinguished
a teamster, was in the suffers store
when one of the recruits entered q
would like to see this Capt. Coppinger,
said the recruit. Il understand he's
hard man." Everybody present ex-
pected Coppinger to annihilate thenew-
conner, but he did not. On the con-
trary, he engaged him in a pleasant
conversation, in which Capt Coppinger
was abused in a manner that caused the
listeners to fear that the private would
be punished for his temerity. Finally,
when the vocabulary was exhausted,
Coppinger introduced himself to the
astonished soldier. Il hope you will
think better of what you have said"
remarked the Captain, as he turned to
leave. well, see here" replied the
recruit, II suppose this means guard
house and ball and chain for me, but, if
have to die for it, [ must insist that,
according to all reports, you are u -
tyrant." Coppinger looked the fellow
in the eve a minute. II like your cour-
age" he said when at length he broke
the silence. Come up to my quarters
with me. [ have some old Bourbon
there that will develop it. =" The recruit
was soon afterward commissioned as a
corporal. Denrer Tribune.

Married Women i'm the English Mills,

Married women seldom think of for
saking the mill while their family is in
creasing, until, indeed, the number of
little children-who must not be left al
together without some one to take care
of them-should be so large as to make
1t as cheap to stay at home as to pay a
substitute, and their only hope of re-
lease IS from some of the older children
beng able to supply their mothers
place. | could name more than one
case where the aggregate yearly earn
lngs of the family are nearer G30O than
E2OO. Still, the mother trudges off to
the mill daily along with her husband
and her grown-up sons and daughters.
The mill is the unfailing resort for en-
ployment, and is much preferred by the
female section of the community to do
mestlc service, on account of the greater
freedom and better pay, for smart

A SHOWER THAT DID NOT REACH THE
EARTH AND A WONDERFUL MIRAGE.

A SHOWER THAT DID NOT REACH THE
EARTH AND A WONDERFUL MIRAGE.
A Bismarck, Oak, letter saws Re-
Gently phenomenon never before wit
messed attracted the attention of many
people. To the naked eye it had the ap-
pearance of q great square cloud. With
the aid of powerful magnifying glass
the writer saw an aerial shower-rain
falling without touching the earth. Two
clouds were visible, one exactly above
the other The rain cloud was above
and the light feathery cloud below. A
heavy shower poured for several minutes
from the upper cloud. The cloud below
caught every drop of water and alb
sor6ed it. Light clouds appeared to
come from all directions to aid in cheat
ing old earth of rain. The color of
the lower cloud changed rapidly, and it
expanded from small summer cloud
to massive rain gatherer. In few
minutes the upper cloud had entirely
disappeared. Through the glass the
aerial rainfall had all the appearances of
a shower of pearls. The sun shining
through the drops formed prismatic
hues of charming brilliancy. The cloud
passed off to the southeast, gathering
rain as it went.
A most remarkable mirage was seen
at st. Lawrence, Oak. From point
seven miles north of there, all of Hand
county, and parts of Beadle, Sphinx,
Faux, Hyde, and Buffalo counties, the
towns of st. Lawrence. Miller, Rec
Heights, Howell, Burdette, the Bald
mountains, the bills at Redfeld, the
bluffs between Washington and Wolsey,
the Washington aud Rec hills, and the
range near the south line of the county
were distinctly seen with the naked eye,
the range of vision covering at least one
hundred square miles.

And lawyers can charge big fees, too!
For example, if [ should charge the
press in the same proportion that law
yers charge for their time, [ should get
about 81 900 for this letter. Here is
case: Mr. B. L. White, now editor of
the Providence Press, and [ were asso-
ciated as correspondents of the New
York Tribune. The Alabama treaty,
on whose provisions two continents
hung breathlessly, had been signed and
sent to the Senate. This was many
years, ago. A copy came to us as le
ultimately as any piece of news comes
into the Press office, but it happened so
that we could not tell where it came
from. We were brought before the
Senate and sent to a committee, and we
refused to answer and tell where the
treaty, as printed in the Tribune, came
from. We were locked up about a
fortnight. The great public was with
us, and we had more applications
for our autographs than we could
pay postage on, and we had
cases of wine, and cases of
brandy, demijohns of whisky, boxes of
cigars, woodcock, terrapin, canvasback
ducks, flowers, and such things galore.
Senators came to our rooms for drinks
and lunches, and the whole thing from
beginning to endwas great joke. But
and here comes the point--we were of
course released by tremendous ma
jority of the Senate, but there were GER
tain legal points to be disposed of. We
had been indicted for disrespect to the
Senate, or something of that kind. We
engaged a lawyer, and he went into
court and asked that our Indictment be
quashed. That was all, and the indict-
ment was quashed. How much, Mr..
Editor, do you think he charged for
that five minutes work. He charged
