him to have an extensive acquaintance
with the police.
In the City of Richmond, ON the
LIST of May, 1862, the Medical Ma
tional Convention convened, and was
in session several days. On the night
of the 4th, DIR. Robert w. HaXall
gave a champagne supper to many of
the members, and they made n night
of it, breaking up about daylight.
The doctors made so much noise as
they passed along the streets that
Patterson, who had been indulging
in his favoritc postimc of getting
drunk and beating his wife, rushed
up out of basement restaurant
under the impression that the police
were coming. With Il roar like bull,
he rushed ut the needles and was
playing II big game of tcn-pins, when
DR.. Alban S. Payne. of Fauquier,
got in beautiful left on Patterson's
right eye and u right on his chin,
knocking him fifteen feet, and he
fell like u bullock. ~
This won't do! DIR. Payne's claim
is disallowed, with costs to complain
ant. That 1852 blow was too late by
nearly century. Claims, to be
valid, must antc-date Patterson's
funeral, and not more than one claim
will be received from the same in
dividual. AS yet, Mrs, Coverly has
the inside track and the best of the
start. -ErdneiJ1er.

TRUE COURTESY.

A humble, worthy man, who had
befricnded the Prince Consort in
early life, called to see him, and was
invited to come to the family table.
He began to eat with his knife, as he
had been accustomed, and the young
people smiled. Paince Albert looked
round upon them, as if to say, "Stop
that" and at once he himself began
to eat with his knife, and did so to
end of his meal. After dinner one
of the children asked him why he did
so. Prince Albert repHed:-
''It is well enough for us to observe
the etiquette of the day but it is far
more important to avoid insulting
people. l wanted my old friend to
enjoy his dinner, which he could not
if he had seen you laughing at him.
He is accustomed to use his knife,
and it would be quite difficult for him
to use the fork instead
This was genuine politeness. The
world would be happier and better if
there were more of it.-EG.

BILLY PATTERSON.

For over one hundred years that
famous conunlrum, "Who struck
Billy Patterson" remained UNI
answered, though it was propounded
to the world, and 81, 900 reward Of
fered for Il correct answer. Every
body asked the question, excepting
end men and circus clowns, but for
over century the interrogation
point has stood out in bold relief,
and awaited reply.
A few weeks since IHe Free Press
announced that Mrs,S Jenny Coverly,
of Athol, n. Y, had answered the
question which was "heard round the
world" and claimed the reward.
She declared that her father, George
Tillerton, was the culprit, but that,
frightened by his audacious blow, he
fled the country, taking with him II
broken thumb that he had cracked
against the pate of the burly butcher.
Mrs. Coverly, now an infirm old
woman, was believed to be justly
entitled to the reward, but there is
now another claimant in the field,
and, as Billy only offered reward
for the discovery of the author of
one particular blow, there must be Il
mistake somewhere, and chance
for two lawyers to get $500 apiece.
Brockett & Rocks History of the
City of Alexandria { l6G9-lSS3), just
published, states that in Baltimore
there lived a big, burly butcher who
weighed 240 pounds, who could have
knocked slugger Sullivan clear out
of recollection in four rounds. Billy
used to exercise his fists upon his
wife, and this custom had caused

S0CIALITY.

Sociality is the best corrective of
that serious and prolonged absorption
in business or thought or cares which
is so detrimental to many of our
busy people. The rest taken in soil
tudc, after working hours are over,
permits the mind still to pursue one
beaten track. The easy-chair and
blazing fire may be tempting to the
weary toiler, but they do not force
his thoughts into other channels or
compel him to lay aside the train of
ideas that has for long hours been
work in his brain. Society, on the
contrary, forbids such unwholesome
indulgence. She insists upon a total
change of mind and manner during
her short reign. She calls for vivacity,
variety, imagination-if possible, wit
and humor, OF at least cheerful in
terest in that of others. She banishes
the accustomed seriousness of mind,
the brooding over familiar topics,
even the carncstness of strong emo
ton. For short time all these are
forced to give way to the lighter play
of fancy, the excitement of popular
interests, and the development of
sympathy with others upon unfa-
milan and varied subjects. Thus the
mind is refreshed and invigoratcd,
unused faculties are brought into
exercise, and the lost balance restored
by gentle compulsion that no one
desires to resist.-N. y. almanac.
