One of the Pap Merrill Stories.

A couple of senator's was swapping
yarns the other day, when one of them
related the following of Pap" Merrill.
of the Milwaukee road. He was going
over the road ONE day, and while the
train was standing at station, he was
moving about taking general observa-
tons. The car wheel tester was busily
moving from wheel to wheel, giving
each quick tap with hammer to test
their soundness. Mr.. Merrill watched
him few moments, and said, Here,
Mike. let me show you how to do that"
The fellow did not look up from his
work, but kept pounding away. Mr..
Merrill repeated his request several
times until the fellow had reached the
end of the train, when he cast most
indignant glance at Merrill and went
over to the other side, where train
man asked him why he did not let 'the
old man" take the hammer, ''Is that
Mr.. Merrill, did We say?" said Mike.
Faith and I'll go and spake with him."
Approaching the general manager very
reverently, Mike made a most humble
apology for being so disrespectful.
''Indade, SIR" said he, II didn't know
who YOU were at all, at all, sir, and if /
should stop to pay attention to every
d--n fool that comes along, l wouldn't
have time to attend to me bust

Aquestion of considerable interests to travellers
returning from abroad-namely, what consti-
tutes wearing apparel in actual use," which
by law is exempted from duty-has been deci-
ded by the supreme court of the United States.
William Astor, plaintiff in error, q citizen OF
the United States arrived home from . visit to
Europe in the end Of September with his fami-
~ by vessel, and brought with him wearing
apparel brought there for his and their use, to
be worn here during the season
then approaching; not excessive in quantity for
persons of their means, habits and station in
life, and their ordinary outfit for winter. A
part of the articles had not been worn and
court holds
Under section 25O5, revised statutes, exempt
ing from duty wearing apparel in actual use
and other personal effects not merchandise"
the proper rule to be applied was to exempt
from duty such articles as fulfilled the follow
ing conditions:
First-Wearing apparel owned by a passen-
ger, and in condition to be worn at once without
further manufacture.
Second-Brought with him as passenger,
and intended for the use or wear of himself or
and not for sale or purchase, or imported for
other persons or to be given away.
Third-Suitable for the season OF the year
which was immediately approaching at the
time of his arrival
Fourth-Not exceeding in quantity, quality,
or value what the passenger was in the habit
Of ordinarily providing for himself and his
family at that time, and keeping on hand for
his wants in view Of their means, habits and
station in life, even though such ARTICLES had
not been actually worn.

versed, and the case remanded with instruc-
tons to awate new trial

Effect of Merriment.

The man who is able "to set the table
on roar" will make even his enemies
like him, for there is nothing that SO
soon burns up personal hostility as a
fash of merriment. Ex-senator Gwin,
of California, tells the following anec-
dote of VIM. 81. Seward, which Illus
tartes his lubricating power at the din
ner-table.
When Seward came into the senate,
I also<entered there. It was about the
year 1850. He was reelected, and so
was I. He was very much disliked in
the senate, when I found him there, as
an Aboltionist.
Seward said to me one day, ''Mr.
Gwin, I want you to invite me to din
ner at your house with most of your
leading southern senators"
I said, Seward, I'm afraid they WON'T
come"
ooh yes," said he, "they will if you
invite them. When we get TAT your ia

They came, and it is wonderful to see
how that little fellow managed that Ia

table.
He could tell tales that would make
everybody howl with laughter, and a
good many of them were about himself.
He would reflect on himself. In point
of fact, Seward was a wonderful man,

The Steamship Wreck of Nova Scotia.

Captain ScrOnhOnen OF the steamer ~. stein.
man, wrecked at Sambro, N. s., gives the fol-
lowing particulars: The steamer had fine
weather on the passage, with the exception OF
the last two days, which were very foggy, 1t
being impossible to get any reckoning, and he
thinks he must lave over-run his time. At 10
p m. the Sd inst, he saw light ahead, which
he first took for the Chebucto light, the fog
making it appear about five miles of; but 1t
could not have been more than
one He discovered, as he
neared the light, that it was Sambro, and before
he had time to reverse the engines, he was
among the lodges northeast of the island. The
steamer struck twice, and began filling fast
He then tried to run her ashore, but she sank
in few minutes. As soon as the ship struck
the captain ordered the passengers all on deck,
but they were all swept overborrd and drowned
by the heavy seas which swept over her. Two
passengers and five of the crew got into boat,
and managed to reach shore. The captain, who
was at his post on the bridge when she went
down threw off his boots and coat and took
to the forward rigging, but she sank faster
than he could climb, SO he was obliged

managed to keep himself afoat until 5 a. m,

The supreme court of Pennsylvania

The supreme court of Pennsylvania
has rendered a seision to the effect
that minority stockholders in corpor-
alton have right to inspect the books
and papers Of the organization at reason
able times for legitimate purposes. and
that such right may be enforced by man
damus. There can be no doubt abouj,
the injustice of such decision, and the
frequent exercise of the right in ques-
ton by minority stockholders would
have wholesome general effect. Too
often the holders of the majority Of
stock in corporation manage its prop
erty and affairs without any regard to
the interests or wishes of the minority,
and frequently to their serious disad
vantage.

Grain freights from Chicago to the

Prince Albcrt's Thrift.

The reluctance of the late Prince Al
bert to disburse money was only equaled
by his eagerness to obtain it, according
to the London Truth. Tt is not gener-
ally known that he held the nominal
post now filed by Count Gleichen for
many years, ard, although in receipt of
an annual allowance of $50. 600 he regu-
larly drew his salary of FL 200 as gov
ernor of Windsor Castle down to the
very last hour of his life. The value of
his estate has never yet TRANSFERRED, nor
have the provisions of the princes will
ever been made public. 1t is not easy
to understand why Queen Victoria
should have made such a profound mys-
terry of the matter, but it is fac. that
the most stringent precautions were
taken, and have been continued, to keep
everything connected with the princes
property and its disposition q dead So
sret,
