A Lords Pre,licament.

During his journey North, Lord
Salisbury, the Conservative leader OF
the House OF Lords, changed his cos
tune for a full Highland rig-out, in
tending it as delicate compliment
TO the land off the kilt. But when he
looked at himself in the glass he
found that the tailor had cut his
petticoats, or whatever they are
called, too short. So he made up his
mind TO put on evening dress. He
changed his upper garments and then
sat down 70 read his speech. This
sent him to sleep. He only woke
with start to find himself running
into the station. Forgetting what
had happened, he thrust on his hat
and appeared at the window bowing,
and this was how he was dressed:
lie had full Highland costume as far
as his waist, above was a white shirt
and swallow-tailed coat and the entire
edifice was crowned with chimney
pot hat, upon which he sat down with
out noticing it. His lordship's horror
when he stepped on the platform and
felt the keen wind cutting his bare
legs changed to absolute agony when
his valet appeared scrambling out OF
the carriage with pair OF trowsers in
his hands, waving them wildly and
exclaiming: "My lord, my lord,
you've forgotten these !"

the preacher, ''is becase they didn't

This logic was so convincing that
the congregation laughed.
"Why did they not come ?" asked
the judge.
"Wall, they had to stay at home
an take keer- o. the chilun. The
wimmen folks don't need no preachin'

throwing out quid OF tobacco. Turn

Turing up the bottle again, and
hesitating some time before he took
it down, he wiped his mouth on his
coat sleeve, and declared: "Boys,

"Pass the evidence this way" said
the deacon. "Ah," after a protract-

The Birthplace of Great Southorners

A nicely worded paragrah is going
the rounds OF the press under the title
of Henry Clay's Birthplace" 1t calls
it Ashland, KY, and treats it with
pathos and feeling. The fact is Henry
Clay was not born in Kentucky at all.
He was Virginia boy who first saw
the light in Hanover county, and did
not come to Kentucky until he was
over 10. The greatest men of both
Kentucky and Tennessee have been
born in other States. Ben Harden,
the great orator of Kentucky, was
born in Pennsylvania; George NJ.
Bibb, Tyler's Secretary of the Treas
ury, was born in Virginia; and Henry
Watterson, of the Courier-Journal,
first saw light in Washington, d. G.
AS to Tennessee, the matter is still
worse. Before the war il. had hardly
man OF national prominence who
had been born within its borders.
Presidents Jackson and Johnson were
born in North Carolina, as was, also,
j. X. Polk and IL. l.. White, who, it
will be remembered, was a presiden-
tial candidate in the campaign of 1886.
Parson Brownlow was born in Vir-
ginia, and came to Tennessee as
circuit riding Methodist preacher.
Felix Grundy, Virginian by birth,
had made a reputation and become
Chief Justice OF Kentucky before he
moved to Tennessee, and Horace
Maynard, a Massachusetts, college
graduate, emigrated to Tennessee,
and started in life as tutor. Aaron
V. Brown, the law partner of James
X. Polk, and postmaster-General un-
der Buchanan, came into Tennessee
from Virginia, at the 'age OF 20, and
Sam Houston, Governor of the State,
Senator in Congress, and founder of
the Texas Republic, was Virginian

Impromptu definitions have often
the merit of being amusing, what
ever may be said as to their correct
ness. 'sWhat on earth can that
mean?" asked Hicks of Thackeray,
pointing to an inscription over door
way. Mutual Loan Office" "I
don't know" answered the novelist,
unless it means that two men who
have nothing agree to lend it to one
another" Said Lord Wellesley to
Plunket: Zone of my aides-de-camp
has written personal narrative of
his travels; pray, what is your defn-
ition of personal p" "Well, my
lord" was Plunket's reply, 1--WE law
yers always consider personal as op-
posed to real;" an explanation as
suggestive as that of the London
magistrate who interpreted "house-
keeper" as meaning "a sort OF
wife," "Pray, my lord," queried
gentleman OF judge, "what is the
difference between common law and
equity?" every little in the end"
responded his lordship; "at common
law you are done for at once; in
equity you are not SO easily disposed
of. The former is bullet which is
instantaneously and charmingly eff
fective: the latter an anglers hook,
which plays with the victim before it
kills him. Common law is prussic
acid; equity is laudanum." An
American contemplating setting a
lawsuit going, his solicitor said he
would undertake the matter for
contingent fee. Meeting Mr.. Bur-
leigh soon afterward, the would-be
litigant asked that gentleman what
contingent fee might be. "a contin-
gent fee" quoth Mr.. Burleigh, sis
this-if the lawyer loses the case he
gets nothing; if he wins it you get
nothing" Then don't get any
thing win or lose? said his ques-
toner. "Well," was the consolatory
rejoiner, chats about the size OF a
contingent fee." So Brough was not
very much out in defining lawyer
as learned gentleman who rescnes
your estates from your enemies and
keeps it himself.

Whore Motto Start q Paper.

In his letter to the amateur journal
lists, Robert J. Burdette offers some
sage advice regarding the starting OF
newspapers. Says he;
II he start a newspaper in town
where nobody wants a paper;
Or where there are already five pa
pers in two-paper town;
Or, if long primer man tries to
start a nonpareil paper;
Or, il he try to run an eight column
paper on two-column basis;
Or, II he skin his home advertisers
and cut rates for foreign ads;
Or, if he start out by giving q So
puff for ten-cent comb;
Or, il he start paper because he
has failed at everything else;
Then, indeed, hath he bitten of
more than he can masticate, and his
paper, beloved by the gods, will die
young and fresh.

Those languid, tiresome sensations, causing you
to feel scarcely able to be on your feet; that con-
slant drain that is taking from your system all its
former elacticity; driving the bloom from your
cheeks; that continual strain upon your vital forces
rendering you irritable and fretful can easily be re-
moved by the use of that marvellous remedy, Hop
Bitters. Irregularities and distinctions OF your
system, are relieved at once while the special cause
of periodical pain are permanently removed. None
receive SO much benefit, and none are 80 profoundly
