A Witty Answer and it's Result.

An interiors ready wit is often com
sidered sufficient offset for his INSIDE
meanors. The following is related Of
Sake:
At the siege Of Prague, after he had
laid all his plans for his final desperate
assault, SAKE took a ride in the evening
through his camp. partly to sec how we'll

partly TO cheer his men.
AS he rodr slowly on Within his lines,

and directed him toput the man into the
giaard-tent, and keep him safely until
called for.
And on the following morning the
great captain had the grenadier brought
before him. The man came trembling,
but with a cheerful look.
Well, my man said Sake, as the

How the System Of Reciprocity Works
Gimon Canaeronya PrfncinInx.

Washington Letter to Augusta Chronicle.
Years ago when Senator Matt Ransom,
who is one of the brightest of men was
a novice in the upper house of congress,
the veteran Simon Cameron 81 Penaayl-
vania took a fancy to him, and, as is the
custom of the elder brethren, persuaded
him to vote on his Pennsylvania line.
Once, in open senate, Mr. Cameron
handsomely complimented the North
Carolinian and promised to reciprocal 6
his kindness. Now, the Canlerons.
never forget a favor and always repay
obligations. This was notably illus
trated when ason of Simon paid the po-
litical debt os his father to Gen. M. G..
Butler. 1t happened that Senator Ran
som had a bill of some kind mp and
that one vote might defeat il. He rec

committee room and pushed it In. The
Pennsylvania senator was there sur
rounded by a crowd of constituents, all
of whom were making merry with an
limited champagne. The old politician
did not relish the sudden invasion Of
his castle and his face was q thunder

Ransom gasped out Senator Gamer

According to the statement Of the
vice-director Of the Rio Janeiro faculty
Of medicine Of Brazil, where all the I'M
habitants take coffee many times a day,
alcoholism is unknown. 1t is further
related that immigrant contract little
by little the fondness of the Brazilians
for drinking coffee and their aversion
for liquors; and as the children of these
immigrants never contract the fatal
habit known to their parents, it would
seem that the number Of dunkards in
the country is in inverse ratio to the
amount Of coffee consumed. A South.
American correspondent OF the Medical
Times confirms the above, asserting that
the number Of cafes in the large cities
of Brazil-where multitudes of persons,
from the highest down to the lowest,
60 IS enormous, while drinking sa-
looms are very few.

The c~loister was really the living
place ofthe monks. Here they pursued
their daily avocations, here they taught
their schools, they transacted their BUSH
ness, they spent their time and pursued
their studies, always in society, co-op-
Grating and consulting, and, as o rule,
knowing no privacy. But q monk al
ways lived in q celliln | think You will
be inclined to object. The o You
get rid of that delnsion the better.
Until HenryH. founded the Carthusian
Abby of Witham, In ITS, there was no
such thing known in England as a
monks. cell, as we understand the term.
1t was a peculiarity of the Carthusian
order, and when it was first introduced
lit was regarded as a start
ling novelty for any privacy on any
thing approaching solitude to be
tolerated in a monastery. The Carthu-
sian system never found much favor in
England. The Carthusians never had
mere than nine houses all told the dis.
ciplinc was too rigid, the rule too scr
we're, the loneliness too dreadful for our
tastes and for our climate. In the
thirteenth century, if I mistake not,
there were only two monasteries ia
England in which monks or nuns could
boast of having any privacy, any little
orner of their own to turn into, any
place where they could enjoy the luxury
OF retirement, any private study such as
every boy nowadays, in a school Of pre-
tension, expects to have provided for
himself, and without which we assumed
that nobody could read and write for an
hour.--The Nineteenth Century.
