A New Jim Fisk Story

A recent book has this story: Jim
Fisk once received by telegraph the
details of n dangerous bill introduced
IN one of the State Legislatures. He
telegraphed in reply to his informant
to come on to New York at once, re-
ceiving him at his sumptuous quarters
at the Grand Opera House, and inquir.
ing if his visitor could kill the bill.
The judge thought he might. Fisk
drew out check for $4,000. The
judge agreed to do what he could for
so small an amount, but never took
checks. Fisk smiled and got the cash,
which the judge pocketed, and shook
hands to go, when Fisk suddenly
asked
by the way, who is the author of
that bill@
The judge replied, without hesita-
ton:
81 am
"Ohw said Fisk, with a beaming
look of admiration, 81 thought so.
Good day"

Old government Bonds.

Recently an old man from q New
England State went into the Treasury
Department in Washington, and said
that about twenty years ago he had
found some old bonds among the
papers of an uncle, man of national
reputation for ability and wealth from
1920 to 1886, whose name he bore and
whose estate he Inherited many years
ago. They seemed to be United States
bonds, he said, but he could not find a
banker who knew anything of them or
their value, and as he was coming here,
be thought he would bring them along
and see if they really had any value.
They were, indeed, curiosities, old and
yellow as they were from age, for they
were part Of the old debt" and ceas cd
to bear interest in 1885. The amount
of the principal was $50, 900, ard there
was ten years interestd due on them. He
said he would gladly have taken $4,000
for them, and that he had once offered
them to a Massachusetts bank for that,
but his offer was oontemptuously de-
clined. The old man walked out of
the Treasury with check in his
pocket on the New York Sub Treasury
for $40, 000.-Chicugo Times.

From the Other Side.

A good story comes from the other
side. A man went to Bristol for few
days to stay with some people, and
especially to visit lunatic asylum in
the eighborhood where large concert
for the benefit of the inmates was
given. The visitor found the audience,
with very few exceptions, intelligent,
appreciatiye, and to all outward appear
ance perfectly sane. The person who
sat next him conversed so delightfully."-
that he felt compelled to remark:
Il beg your pardon, but you are
sure not a-a-resident here?"
To which che stanger replied meekly
"Yes--I ann
But" insisted the visitor, you are
not you cannot be-the least mentally
afflicted?'
And the other replied:

lection. In fact, you see this piece of

Butler and the Rebel Priest

We see it going the rounds that
Father Ryan, the poet-priest of the
Confederacy, once, at New Orleans,
created great amusement by retort
that he made to General Butler. Some
Catholic officer or soldier was dying,
desired the sacred offices of priest.
Father Ryan was sent for, but did not
respond. General Buffers attention
was called to the omission and an
orderly was at once dispatched for the
father. On the priests arrival at head
quarters, Butler, suspecting the omis-
sion to be the result of "rebel feeling,
rudely asked Father Ryan "why he
did not attend the summons?"
Because l was giving the sacra-
ment to ar other dying man, responded
the priest; "but, General, you are mis-
taken IN supposng that l would not,
gladly bury you ALL"
There are some mistakes in this
otherwise veracious anecdote. 1t was
Father Mullen, and not Father Ryan.
The old priest, called up at midnight
for the purpose of giving the last
sacraments to a Federal soldier dying
of yellow fever, responded with alac-
rity. This astonished Butler, who was
most anxious to entrap the priest in
some way SO as to send him a prisoner
to Ship Island Butler asked him why
he, an Incorporating rebel, had
been SO alert in obeying the calls
of Yankee soldier. Father Mullen
answered.
at is my duty to God and my
church to deny no one the offices of
my holy ministry; but, faith, General,
J am ready, if necessary, and willing,
to bury you all !"
Butler laughed, and Father Mullen
was not molested. This Father Mullen
used to pray for dear General Beaure.
gard and his soldiers" constantly. He
was devoted to the Southern cause. He
cheerfully surrendered the bells of his
church to be melted for the manufac-
ture Of cannon. The guns that Colonel
Semple discovered as the remnant of
his battery, at the arsenal on our Sand
Hills were made from the bells that
Father Mullen and other patriotic
clergymen turned over to the Confed-
eracy.-Augusta, Ga, Chronicle.
