A Merciless Critic.

Louis XIV. once handed the poet
Boileau few sheets of manuscript
with the words. What do you
think of these wretched verses Of
my own composing?"
Boileau read the papers through
and quietly returned them to the
King, saying: "His Majesty sue
ceeds in everything he undertakes!
You wanted to try your hand at
making bad poetry-and you have
accomplished It"

The fact that Judge Sullivan
characterized some of the plain
| tiff's statements on the Sharon
case as false and yet gave her a
verdict, puzzles a good many peo-
pie, and they quote the maxim
"Falsus IN uno falsa.s IN omnibus
as law, This is simply an old Latin
quotation meaning; False in one
thing false in everything, and is
not law. Lawyers quote it so fire.
quently that a good many people
think that it must be somewhere
in the statute books. In the de-
cision of Sullivan he stated that
both sides had committed perjury,
and even intimated pretty forcibly
that the Senator himself had lied
in his testimony. In that case
both the plaintiff and the defend
ant stand on an equal footing In
this respect.
1t would be folly to assume that
a perjury could destroy the force
Or validity of document. If the
documentary evidence in the case
is admitted to be genuine, such as
the contract and the Dear wife"
letters, all the testimony pro and
con that might be introduced, and
all the perjuries that might be
sworn to in a year, could not make
any change in the Status of these
documents.

Wen said .

In Judge Sullivan decision in
the Sharon case appears the follow
ing:
This circumstance Of visiting
Martha Wilson at this time is sig
nIticant, to my mind, Of the close
friendship that existed at that
time between her and the plaintiff.
Counsel contcnded very siren
uousiy on the argument that it was
extremely Improbable that plain
tiff would contide her secret to a
woman of Martha Wilson's color

Of one skin does not determine
his instincts or his character. A
DARK sAin does not indicate the
w.rth of the wearer or the warmth
OF his heart or the willingness of
his hand to do the bidding of
friendship. It often happens that
the trust placed in the keeping of
an humble teller who does the bid
ding Of a superior is better placed
than that which is reposed in asso-
ciates who stand upon the same
plane or those who affect super
iority. Whatever the considera-
ton may have been, the uncontro-
verified fact is that in the hour Of
the plaintiff deep distress and ap-
parent dark disgrace, she sought a
temporary shelter in the humble
abode Of Martha Wilson"

Rough J0ke

A practical joke Of the very
worst type has lately been at
tempted on Prince Bismarck. 1,
is generally known that the Asiatie
plague has its head quarters at the
little market town Of Wetlianka
in the government of Astrachan
An inhabitant Of this place wrote
to the Chancellor Of the German
Empire the following letter:
My Lord, Your Highness will
find enclosed lock of hair and
two pieces of woven material taken
from the body Of the victim of
plague in the notorious little town
of Wetlianka, who died in my
presence on the Goth IF January
last. The piece of linen was cut
from the shirt which deceased wore
during the forty two hours of his
illness; the piece Of woollen fabric
was taken from his blanket. Since
the above date the articles referred
to have been carefully preserved
in box, Theoretically sealed, so as
to preserve as far as possible, all
the emanations with which they
are impregnated. / have under

hours after the receipt of the pres
ent letter, the question will be set

THIS attempted mystifcation on
the part Of the Notable citizen
was fortunately nipped III
the bud, owing to the precautions
taken against all letters from the
plague stricken districts. So that
the Infamous letter never reached
the Chancellor at all.

Some Curious Facts.

Gold beaters by hammering can re- duce gold leaves so thin that 282, ,000 must be laid upon each other to produce the thickness of an inch, yet each leaf is so perfect and free from holes that one of them laid upon any surface, as in gliding, has the appearance..of solid gold. They are so thin that if formed into a book 1,5O0 would only occupy the space of single leaf of common paper; and an octave volume of an inch thick would have as many pages as the books of well-stocked library of 1,500 volumes, with 400 pages in each. Still thinner than this is the coating of gold upon the silver wire of what is called gold lace, and we are not sure that such coat ing is not of only one atom thick. Platinum and silver can be drawn into wire much finer than human hair. A grain of blue vitriol or carmine will tinge a gallon of water, so that in every drop the color may be perceived. A grain of musk will scent room for twenty years and will at the end of that period have lost little of its weight. The carrion crow smells its food many miles of. A burning taper uncovered for single in- stant, during which it does not lose one thousandth of a grain, would fill with light sphere four miles in diameter so as to be visible in every part of it. The Al .e <-sll IT. sr, I..I m any of them are twisted together to form our finest sewing thread; but that of the spider is smaller still, for two drachms of it by weight would reach from London to Edinburgh, or 400 miles. In the milt of a codfish or in water in which vegetables have been in. fused the microscope discovers animal cules of which many thousands together do not equal in bulk a grain of sand; and yet nature, with singular prodi- gality, has supplied many of these with or elephant, and their bodies consist of the same substance, or ultimate atoms, as that of man himself. In single pound of such matter there are more living creatures than of human beings on the face of the globe. What a scene has the microscope opened to the admira- tion of the philosophic inquirer. Water, mercury, sulphur, or in general any
 substance when sufficiently heated rises as invisible vapor or gas; that is, re- duced to the aeriform state. Great heat, therefore, would cause the whole of the material universe to disappear and the most solid bodies to become as invisible and impalpable as the air we breathe. Few have contemplated an annihilation of the world more complete than this.

"And what are your sensations, my dear," said his wife gravely, "when you smoke cigars at twenty dollars hundred, and drink champagne at fifty dollars g dozen?"
 MT. Jordan stared.
 Mary drew out the little pearl tablets with business-like air, and opened the campaign boldly. "Within the last week, my dear, my expenses for housekeeping have been sixty dollars-which, for a family of eight persons, including five promising children, clothing and lights, I do not consider exorbitant."
 "Sixty dollars is great deal of money" murmured MT. Jordan, under his breath.
 But his wife went on, without needing his interpolation:
 "Within the last week, sir, your ex- penses have been $170p' Nonsense p eiaculated Mir. Jordan, springing to his feet.
 "Items," read on Mary; "Box of cigars, at $40; basket champagne, at $50; new Brussels office carpet, $75; proof engraving of --'s picture, $25. According to my arithmetic, it makes precisely $17O."
 MT. Jordan sat still, seIf-convicted. Where had Mary picked up all these crushing particulars?
 "Now, my dear," said Mrs. Jordan, 'there is no need for you to sit there and look so sheepish. All want is justice even-handed equality. When you told me that I had no idea of the pinching and economizing that was necessary in the life of man of business you told me the truth. Indeed, I had no idea Now I am enlightened !"
 Had there been a friendly crack in the floor large enough to admit our hero, he certainly would have crept into it at that moment.
 A woman's sarcasm, particularly if that woman is your wife, is a very cutting thing to endure.
 Hereafter" pursued Mrs. Jordan, fully aware that just at present he was monarch of all she surveyed, ''I shall ask regular allowance-so much per week. The sum I will let you know when I have computed necessary ex- penses."
 "Yes, my dear," faltered the defeated chancellor of the exchequer.
 "And hereafter, I intend to put stop to all the petty pinching and scraping which has made my life mere mechan- ical drudgery to me. I do not mean that shall not economize; for true economy, according to my idea of things, is one of woman's noblest duties But do mean that the false imposter too often travel ing under that name, shall be banished from my hearth and home."
 And it was even so.
 Mir. Jordan had received sharp and much-needed lesson, and his wife bene- fited therefrom.

A Sons Awful Discovery.
HIS FATHERS VESSEL SUNK AND ALL HIS
 DEAR ONES LOST.

While party of men were fishing off the banks of Cape May few days ago, they saw the masts of vessel protrud- ing above the waves. They rowed over to inspect the wreck, when Harry Will Hams cried out: "Afy God boys, that is fathers sc hooner. know her by the crosstree that we fixed with the block to reef the halyards through before she started on her last voyage. God help them, they are all lost !" And the young man fell fainting in the boat.
 The schooner was the Deborah Di- verdy, owned in Dennisville, and com manded by Captain Frank Williams. On his last trip Captain Williams had with him his wife, two sons, John and Frank, a steward and his wife, and two deck hands whose names are unknown. The vessel is thought to have left Boston about four weeks ago, and since then nothing has been heard of her. It is thought that the schooner must have sprung a leak, and the soft coal with which she was loaded absorbing the water rapidly, she must have sunk be- fore any of the eight persons on board had time to save themselves.

CuitiVating His Memory.

"You are cut out for a politician" the comrades of Thurlow Weed used to say to him, when he was young print CT and paragrapher at Rochester.
 He was inclined to believe them; but he was conscious of one serious disqual- ification. His memory was sieve. He could not remember anything; neither dates, nor names, nor faces, nor ap- pointments. He said to his wife one day:
 Catherine, I shall never make suc- cessful politician, for I cannot remem- Der, and that is prime necessity of pol iticians. A politician who sees man once should remember him forever"
 His wife, who was a wise and excel lent woman, told him that he must train his memory. So every evening, when the days cares and labors were over, he spent fifteen minutes in trying to recall all that had happened. At first he could remember very little, not even what he had for breakfast; but grad ually he found his memory improving, and one night his wife said to him:
 "Why can't you tell me everything that has happened? My interest in your affairs would make it easier and pleasanter."
 From that time forward for fifty years, he made it a practice to relate to his Catherine every night the whole history of the day; the editorials he had writ ten; the people he had seen; his con- versation with them; and letters he had sent and received; the rides and walks he had taken; and even what he had had for dinner. The result of this nightly exercise was a constant i'm provement of his memory.
 "I found," he once wrote, "that l could say my lesson better and better every year, and, instead of growing irk- some, it got to be a pleasure to run over the events of the day in review. I am indebted to this discipline for mem- ory of somewhat unusual tenacity, and I recommend the practice to all who expect to have much to do with in- fuencing men. "-- Youths Companion.
