An Anecdote of Daniel webster.

A new anecdote of Daniel Webster is
recorded here merely to illustrate his I'M
failing dignity of manner and the mag
nificence of his liberality in common
things. Journeying once from New York
to Boston in the cars, he occupied seat
with a gentleman, who relates the story,
to whom he said not word until the train
was approaching New Haven. Turning
to him then, in his profoundest voice he
asked:
"Can you tell me, sir, Of any place in
New Haven where | can get glass OF
first-rate brandy? l am not feeling WE'LL"
His companion did happen to know a
little house opposite the station, famous IN
those days to the initiated, where the I'M
adulterated could be had, and, it being
without sign, he told his inquirer how to
find ito enter the door and go up stairs
to the little front room, and ask for glass
of the best brandy. "And, stay tell the
man to give it to you out of the black bot
tie under the COUNTER
There was not much time to lose, but
Webster found the place, and, mounting
to the little room, astOnished the keeper by
the magnificent depth of tone and air Of
authority with which he asked Or a glass
Of brandy, and that. too, without delay.
"And stop, SIR" said the statesman,
slowly raising his hand and pointing with
his eloquent finger; 81 want it from that
black bottle under the counter"
The awed keeper obeyed. The great
man poured out nearly full tumbler,
poured it down with expanding satisfac-
ton, threw a bill on the counter, and
and TUNED to descend.
''Stop, sir" cried the man-"you r
changer
Webster turned with portentOus solemn
ty, and, in the tone that often thrilled the
Senate, exclaimed:
''No, sir. A man who gives glass of
brandy like that to a thirsty traveller
should never give change for a dollar"
When the astonished barkeeper related
the incident he learned who his imposing
customer was.

KNIGHT-ERRANTRY.
A Wheeling Gallant Stays an Owl for a
Fair Lady.
WheeIifl0 Register.


The days of knight-errantry are over,
but many are the gallant knights of the
nineteenth century who will quickly arise
and fly to the rescue of beauty in distress.
A case on Saturday proves this. Beauty
is often coupled with timidity, and in
LeatherwOOd, our charming little suburb,
it is no exception. Some of its ladies
have lately been frightened at night by
the hOoting of an ancient owl, which
nightly sung its mournful solo from the
summit of one of the high trees which
give the village its name. One of Wheel
ing's young society knights heard of it,
and, equipping himself with regulation
musket and two nights rations, he went
out on the war-path. 1t was Saturday
night. The pale moon looked out from
cloudless sky and her chaste beams
touched to greater beauty the aristOcratic
suburb, and revealed the lovelight grow
ing in several bright eyes in half Swallowed
Verandas. Not q breath stirred the wind
mill. and all was quiet save the Intermit-
tent wall of the discordant owl and the
pathetic bray of pet donkey, when down
the lawn strobe the Wheeling cavalier
with musket cooked and breath bated. A
flash rent the darkness and shore it across
with cash; a heavy report doomed out
on the stiffness and awOke the echoes
from BellView heights to the old stone
quarry. Four conversations were inter-
rupted in Leatherwood; a passionate
declaration died on a pair of manly lips;
a moment of trembling suspense, and
then the cavalier emerged from the shrub
berry and laid the CORY corpse of the owl
at a fair lady's feet. Joyl Wassail!

To this was added the cost of embroid-
ering the initials on the linen sheets and
pillow cases, which was very heavy, as
hand and order labor always is. This
brought it up to 1854 50-the bill for en-
brOidery alone, to which no charge was
added by the house, being $4S 90. This is
surely not a large sum for an outfit so
complete, which is sufficient, with the
exception Of kitchen towels, for several
years, and includes blankets and quilts.
Of course it may be considerably re-
duced. The sheeting may be bought by
the yard at IS cents to 81, which is less
than cotton sheeting cost during the war,
and excellent white .hOneycOmb and Mar
settles bedspreads may be obtained from
81 % TO 50 so each. The best California
blankets made from finest, choicest spe-
cially prepared wool and bound with
broad satin ribbons, bring as high as $75
per pair, so that $40 is not very eXtraY-
-agant average for these articles, which are
the pride of many housekeepers and the
prey of the ignorant laundress. But not
withstanding the immensely of the gap
between one price and the other, there is
still wide range of choice below $40
for those who do not want to pay
this sum, blankets not California being
obtainable at about 81 80 per pair. 1t is
beginning to be highly fashionable just
now to buy linen for wedding presents,

keeping. The handsome sets of luncheon
cloths or napkins, or one long elegant
cloth with dinner napkins and carving
cloths, are the kind usually selected for
this purpose, but towels are sometimes
sent in sets, accompanied by the pretty
covers in drawn work, with fringed bOr-
ders for stand and bureau covers. The
cream or half bleached Scotch linen, the
figures enclosed in squares, very
durable and effective style of table
covering, is now that which is most COM
monty used for ''every day" in ordinary
households. 1t is 80 to so inches wide,
and averages so cents per yard-a won
derfully cheap fabric considering width
and quality. The best towels and lunch
con cloths tor wear are the rough granite
finished, and the reason is because in
these the fax thread has to be both
doubled and twisted. The cOlOred damask
tea cloths and napkins are still used, but
only for tea cloths; white luncheon cloths
are preferred and are much newer, with
only lines of color between the drawn
work ON the borders.
''Shams" for dressing beds are not
needed where handsome hemstitched
linen sheets and pillow cases are used,
but some ladies like them for cleanliness
where sleeping-rOoms are much used or
exposed, and they are then finished as
much like good linen sheets and pillow
cases as possible; that is, they are hem
stitched all around at depth Of214 inches
and show an embroidered initial or mono
gram in the centre, The handkerchief
finish is also liked-corners tucked, over
laid, and hemstitched-or broken border
worked on with a design in the corners.
Embroidery or braiding is always exc
cuted in white, never in colors, upon

HOUSEHOLD LINEN.

g., There is no better test or woman as
hOusekeeper than the condition of her
linen closet. A good and complete sup
ply of this essential to pleasant living is
a luxury which it requires habit and
training to appreciate, and the depri-
walton where such habits and training
exist is more severe than the absence of
other things which seem more important.
People who have acquired some means
yet whose ways are not over refined
spend as little. as possible on articles of
EVERYDAY use and comfort, and really do
not know the immeasurable difference it
makes In the enjoyment of life to use
towels Of ample size and good solid
duality, handsome napery, sheets heavy
and laundried, and all in abundance.
