He Met His Match.

"YOu know that Sheridan and Lincoln
passed through the city short time ago,
going west on fishing excursion, don't
you? Well, when Phil and Bob struck
Pittsburg, they boarded the limited on
the Fort Wayne, bound west. Nothing
happened until the conductor came
around. Shortly after entering, the
ticket puncher reached the quarter Of
the two travellers and politely accosted
them with, Tickets please The little
bullet-headed, red-faced gentleman, who
seemed to he master of ceremonies, pro-
duced his wallet, and handed the con-
ductor an envelope. The conductor
glanced at the paper he found inside. and
quietly remarked:
"'NO passes are taken on this tram
"The passes are regular. They are
signed by the president replied the
little fellow, growing redder in the lace.
81 have my orders, and I am compell-
Ell to obey them, calmly replied the con-
ductOr.
"'Perllaps you don't know who am.
l am General Sheridan
"Well, General Sheridan, I must obey
orders. You and your friend must pay
your fare before we reach Rochester, or
will be compelled to stop the train and
put you off there
"By this time the passengers within
ear shot Of the twain, had become inter-
ested, and the word passed until all
knew that the bearers of the pass were
none other than General Sheridan and
Secretary of War Lincoln. The conduc-
tor passed on through the car, and the
distinguished deadheads probably
thought everything was settled. But for
once in his life little Phil met man as
stubborn as he is. In a short time the
train slackened, and before it came to
dead stop the conductor re-entered the
car, walked up to General Sheridan,
gently tapped him on the shoulder and
said:
"'Well, general, we are at Rochester,
sheridan was taken aback, and Lin
coin looked annoyed. The general tried
to argue the case with the conductor, but
that official cut him short with the curt
statement:
owe have no time for argument, gen.
eral; this train is compelled to be on
time. Please pay your fare or leave the
car
"By this time sheridan's face was
crimsoned. He muttered something;
but finally produced his wallet and paid
the fare. Alter settling he asked the
conductor for his name. The ticket
puncher complied with the request and
watched the angered warrior make the
memorandum.
"I'll report the matter to the presi-
dent, SIR
avery well, general replied the train
pilot, as he gave the signal to go ahead
and resumed the duties of his Office.
Ibid Sheridan report the AFFAIR."" ask
ed the companion of the narrator of the
above incident.
ayes, indeed. A few days ago he re-
ceived letter from President Roberts,
who returned the money, and probably
apologized for the conductors rude
ness"
"And what became of the conductor"
ooh, he's all right. He'll probably be
promoted"

A new style of revolver has been pat.
ented. Hereafter, if a person is seen
wandering about the country armed with
queer shaped weapon, which is occa.
sionally raised and snapped without ex-
ploding, it must not be thought that a
lunatic ia at large. The revolver is not
dangerous, being simply a miniature,
portable photograph gallery. The in
ventor is A. Enjalbert, and the Scientific
American tells MS that with this little re-
volver there is no longer any focusing to
lie done, no more plates to he changed,
and instantaneous views are obtained by
an exposure of one fiftieth of a second.
The apparatus is always Theoretically
closed to the light, and it permits of fol-
lowing objects in motion with great ia
cility and without it being necessary to
take accurate aim as with an ordinary
revolver, since it is merely question Of
taking such a general view as is COM
prised within the field of the objective.

JUDGE CARRIERS HUMoR.

The Lawrence A,neriodn says that
Judge Carter Of the Hsverhill district
court, is no, only an as,ute lawyer, but
a compendium Of wit. Originally he was
a journalist. and for many years success
fully conducted the Portland ddrert'ser.
A. lawyer he has been very successful,
and some Of the secrets Of his success
with Essex county juries are his appear
ance, and his happy manner Of illustrate
his point by humorous tales. In his
closing arguments in malpractice case
last week he said:
"Gen,lemen Of the jury, lawyers make
mistake. and they are discovered BY the
verdic,s Of the juries, which the world
knows, and, as a consequence, their re-
putations suffer Ministers Of the gOs-
pei make mistakes. which are banded
from ear to ear, and their regulations
suffer. Doctors make mistakes. but,
gentlemen Of the jury, they are under
ground; they are buried; sphysieian's
mistakes will be known only on the day
Of resurrection"
Another Of his sayings was:
"Children Outlines tell the truth.
They are sp, to hear what Is transpirins
sbou, them especially . to household
matters. once heard Of two little fel-
lows discussing the relative standing Of
their fathers. Said one MY Pc u .
minister and viii 60 TO heaven 'Pooh,'
replied the other confidently, my Pc is .
doctor, and he can kin your old Pc any
day"
It 10 needless to say that the sheriff
gravel alone preserved due dscorum in
the court room.
