The last seat in the horse car had just been taken, when very pompous, :.nervous old gentleman boarded it, and casting his eyes around in search of a place in which to de- posft himself, discovered that a little boy oc- cupied the corner seat atss the further end. The old gentleman evidently made up mind to have the corner seat, and, approaching the youngster, he said: ssMy good little boy, you are younger than am and can stand the strain upon your legs better than can, for I have so much more to hold up. Won't you, like a good little boy, give me your seat ?" ''Naw,n said the boy, stonily gazing at the old gentleman. ssYou should be more polite, my boy, and more obiging. You know that if your father were to come in now and ask you for your seat you would give it to him. ? ssYou betcher your life would, ;" answered the boy, in truly obliging spirit, "cause wouldn't ride in no car wid no ghost"

GEN. Frrz JOHN PORTER has been ssvin dicated" by the lower house of congress, which votes, 184 to 78, to restore him to to the rank of colonel and place him on the retired army list. Gen. Porter was a colonel and brevet- -brigadier in the army, and major-general in the volunteer ser vice, at the time he was dismissed in disgrace by court martial in 1862, under charges of Gen. Pope of dis obedience, the charges also implying treachery. Many now believe, Gen. Grant among them, that Gen Porter's disobedi- ence of orders was necessitated by the condition of affairs, and that obedience would have increased the disaster of the second Bull Run battle. The matter ow goes to the sonate, where Gen. Logan will fight 1t, but no doubt unnecessarily.

WENDELL PHILLIPS died at his residence in Boston Saturday evening. He has been in ill health all winter, but has been con- fined to his house only since January 25th. The immediate cause of his death was angi,sa pectoris. He was the son of John Phillips, first mayor of Boston, and was born in that city in 1911. He graduated at Harvard college in 1881, at the Cam bridge law school in 1883, and was ad- mittsd to the Suffolk bar in 1884, but re-
 inquished law practice in 1889 from an unwilingness to observe the oath of fealty to the constitution of the United States. In October, 1885, when William Lloyd Garrison was assailed in Boston by an anti abolition mob, the sympathies of Phillips were enlisted, and from that time forward he was an avowed Garrisonian abolitionist. In December, 1887, he made his first mo- table speech in Faneul Hall at meeting called to consider and protest against the murder of an abolition editor, Rev. Elijah P. Lovejoy, at Alton, Illinois. Phillips was man of inherited fortune, with no need to labor for living, and he devoted his energies to the cause of the abolition of slavery in the southern states. For years this work consisted chiefly in mak- ing speeches. He soon became known throughout the country as prominent leader, and by far the most effective orator of the abolitionists, advocated disunion as the only road to abolition, and after the war began he sustained the union for the same alleged reason. In 1863-4ake advo- cated arming, educating and enfranchis- ing the negroes. When the war was over, and the issue of slavery was forever set tod, he was still in favor of the continu- ance of the anti-slavery society as means ileges, which he called "rights," for the negroes, and was unwilling that such a so- ciety should be abandoned till after the adoption of the Fifteenth constitutional amendment, in 1869. He was always rad ical in all things. He was an almost con- stant contributor to newspapers and peri odicals. His lecture ion "The Lost Arts" was one of the most frequently delivered and was one of the most frequently deliv- cred and was one of the best. His sHTous- saint r Ouverture" also was very popular. His eulogies on Theodore Parker and on John Brown were widely circulated in Great Britain as we'll as the United States. Many of his addresses and speeches have been printed in pamphlet form and par tial collections were published in volumes in 1864 and in 1869 As an orator. Wen- dell Phillips had very few equals, and, probably. no superior.

The perfection of the Brewers art has
been reached in the production Of the
"Pilsener Beer"--it is Of the most beauti-
full amber color, as clear as crystal; little
beads rise through the liquid as if it were
champagne, and its foam is like whipped
cream. Upon emptying glass, its ap-
pearance is fully borne out by its taste. It
is delicate, with a smart sm ack of hops and
malt, and leaves a lingering flavor on the
tongue. One of its best qualities is ita
lightness, causing no headache, even il
used to excess. 1t is fully equal to, if not
superior, to any of the Eastern or foreign
brands in the market. 1t is highly re-
commended for family use, and all orders
will be promptly executed by
