rroddins a1r. Conkling With Sarcasm

~ Y HsruH
We have been waiting for you Just four
teen minutes, said Mr.. Joseph II. Choate,
waking up from brown stady.
Mr.. Roscoe Conkling to whom the re-
mark was addressed az he came into the
Supreme Court, General Term room, yester
day morning, put on his wiptriest smile aud
replied that Mr.. Choate need never wait for
him. He could easily miss portion ofMr.
Choate's eloquence, he said, without being
disturbed.
Then Mr.. Choate resumed his summing
up in the Stewsrt-Huntington ease. In the
course Of his argument Mr.. Choste referred
TO Mr.. Conkling as follows:
The learned counsel on the other side
has seen fit to bring personal illusions into
this case, q practice l deplore. l will re-
turn the compliment, not by referring to
any newspaper, but rather to an immortal
source, for | think Shakespeare had nv
learned friend in mind when he said:
See what grace WAS seated on this browl
HyPcrions curls; the front Of Joye himself:
An eye like Mars, 20 threaten and cOmmsad;
A station like the herald Mercury,
New lighted on heaven kissing hill;
combination and form, indeed,
Where every good did seem TO set his seal,
To give the world assurance Of mau.
"Kerrect," said Mr.. Conkling, nodding
ironically.
When Mr. Cboate had finished his ad-
dress Judge Vanvorst reviewed the evil
deuce and discussed the legal points OF tbs
case. They were out little over an hour
When they returned to court the crowd in
the Hobbies rushed to hear the verdict.
Gentlemen Of the jury, have you agreed
upon yerdictT asked the clerk.
I'VE have" said the foreman, without
rising from his seat "We find q verdict
for the plaintiff, and also judgment for the
difference between Sl59.47 paid the plain
tiff for his stock aud the 300 paid to others,
which with interest, amounts to Sl02.-

Eve miles north Of this city, in Brown

over the case OF James Lyman. 1t is said
Of him that when eleven years old he ran
away from his home in Boston and deter
mined TO adopt sailors life. He concealed
himself in the hold Of ship about to weigh

His ship touched many foreign shores, and
by frequent association with the natives he
gradually acquired their manner OF speech.
aud in time became the master Of four diff
ferent languages. In all these years he was
an adept at swearing.

SWEARING BIZ SHoLEsALE.

The slightest trife met with volley Of
oa,hs and the sir would be perfectly sulphur
Gus with his wicked declarations When
excited his wrath was terrible, and none
dared to remain within esrshot while curses
and imprecations rolled with mighty We
hemence from his tongue. One day last
week, while experimenting force Of hands
in making clearing, silly accident threw
Lyman into an excess ofpassion. Words
more blasphemous than ever before uttered
rolled from his fluent tongue. while he
danced about in perfect paroxysm. Sud-
denly the impious declarations ceased.
Lyman fell face downward toshe ground
and wac unable to move muscle. A gen
1ine thunderbclt or q bullet through the
heart could not have parslyzed his sense
quicker. Sight Was destroyed. speech was
gone and motion impossible. After thirty
minutes prostration he recovered slightly
but was unable to regain his lost speech.
His eyes were also dimmed. On thearms Of
two strong lAborers he was borne to his
house where he has since been resting in .
half conscious condition.

Saves Doctors Bills.

The Scientific american propounds and
answera the question: "vhy is it that
those who are sick or convalescing from
sickness ask for and relish a cup OF Ten?
Why is it, again, that physiciaus will often
recommend tea and forbid coffee? Plainly.
the answer is because tea is the most
wholesome beverage, and in this respect
excels coffee. Bu. while the use OF tea ia
increasing, there is one class OF the com.
munity who do not realize the advantage
that tea offers them; and that class is tie
very poor in purse, who regard tea as a
luxury that they cannot afford, when, il
they did but know II, they could not at.
ford to do without tea. It is the general
use Of ten that will save many a doctors
bill. 1t stea that assists digestion, and it is
tea that makes ones beeisteak 20 further,
In this respect it is a positive economy, and
1t is not always tho lowest priced article
tina! is the cheapest. Quality in tea means
strength and flavor, and it is much better
and cheaper to buy good tea ut a fair price
than to get the very low in price; and it is
good tea that the poor man wants.

church. The two churches united in gel
ting up a demonstration which would at
once astonish the Doctor and eerve as an
outlet for the enthusiasm OF the people.
About three weeks ago a little bird flew
out from the west side and whispered to
the Langley Avenue ladies that lheo22d was
Dr.. Georges sixtieth birthday, and that the
Centenary people wanted to so over and
congratulate him. The Langley Avenue
people were profuse in their thanks
for the information, and immediate

beautifully as if it were for a wedding.

what would happen next, As soon as a
reasonable degree Of order and quiet was
restored, Miss Jeanette Clouyhan and
Mr.. W.. @. Coffin sang a Duet,
and Rev. DR.. G. E. Vaudeville prayed
for Gods blessing upon the two churches,
and especially upon him in whose
honor the company had gathered. Rev.
DR.. Stone, q veteran Methodist of Chi.

was introduced and addressed Dr.. George.

how he had come TO that church Just when

complete and explicit, was in tho employ
Of Il dry goods store, and his arduous duties
wereto carry packages, FOR whichhe received
the muniticGnt compensation OF seven dol.
lars per week. 1t happened one bright day
that tho young Indy in question visited the
draper where this youth was employed,
there and then and made some purchases,
which were ordered cent to her home.
The package boy wau only slightly &C.
quainted with her, but VIXEN he appeared
at the front door Of the maiden's houae, who
should open the door but the fair and radl.
ant girl herself. 1t Is not explicitly stated
what occurred at this first meeting, but the
evidence Gdduced in court shows that tho
youthful package carrier retired with q
trophy Of the impression no made in the
shape Of Il ring, which he promised to
wear Nor her cake alone"
The ethics OF courtship required a return
Of this memento OF tender feeling when
ardor cooled, but as tho days rolled by this
gay Lothario lot his lady'D rtques!a Tor the
return Of tho same go by UNDECIDED. This
indifference fired tho maiden'B heart with
revenge, and i'll the deep, dark and .hrob.
bling recesges Of that organ Of emotion and
affection was evolved a scheme to sue her
former lover for breach OF promise. 1t
promised to be ssorrowiul tale o iman's "
utter disregard for woman (?) according to
tho complaint Of the fearful accuser,
but when. tho boy was allowed
to speak in his own behalf the
dark shades and sombre colors Of the tragic
picture were changed. lie denied over
having made love to her, and said that her
only grievance WAS his inability to escort
her, owing to Q pressure Of business, to q
ball, for which event he had engaged her
delightful company. The fair pleader then
filed an Offset for twenty dollars in the coin
Of the realm, which sum she expended on
a dress in which she expected 10 shine
with great radiance.
Here is presented q case where woman
first seeks redress for blighted affections,
and failing to prove her cause just she
makes the next best plea,of wounded pride,
and allows her vanity to drag her into
court and attempt to mulct a aeven-dollar
a week clerk out Of twenty hard.earned
dollars because he failed to keep an en-
gagement, which, il fulfilled, would have
allowed her to blfze respondent among
her envious sisters.
The Judge promptly dismissed the case.
But there is a moral in the story. Pack
age boys should be careful about accepting
the loan OF rings Of impressionable young
ladies. Others may not get off go easily.
