Great Presence of Mind.


Chancellor" Crawford is one of the best
known men on the turf. He is a standard au-
thority ON all track matters, aud is never
nonplussed, no matter when or where
he is asked the question. On one oc-
casion, in race, the trotter which had the
pole was clearly getting the best of the others.
when the driver next to him yelled to Crawford,
who was driving on the outside, Hes getting
away with me, Crawford"
run into him" answered Crawford.
They'll expell me, won't they?" asked the
first.
Crawford took the lines in his left hand. and,
without taking his eye off his own or the other
horses, reached under the seat with his right
hand and ished out copy Of the trotting laws
and rapidly tnumbed it over his knee Suddenly
glancing like lightning at it, he raised his head
and shouted back:
Article l6, Chapter g. Only $25 fine! Run
into him."
The pole horse was run into and the winner
paid his fine without murmur.

THE LOST JEWEL.

A Story of George Nv. and Mrs. Fitz Her
bert.
Mary Frampton's Journal.
On the death of George Nv, in 1880, some jew
els and trinkets directed to be given to Miss
Seymour (then Mrs Damer); among others was
the counterpart of kind of brooch. containing
q miniature Of George w. set with diamond
of glass. The diamond had been cut
in half, and the other part. set in the same way,
contained miniature of Mrs. Fitz Herbert her
for this valuable jewel, but without success.
Rundell 81 Bridge, who had the setting of the
two articles were employed with others to
anime, but in vain, and all hope of regaining
the lost treasure was at an end.
Some time afterward the Duke of Wellington,
when one evening sitting next to Mrs Damer,
said to her, with some hesitation, II dare say
you may like to know something of the lost
jewell" but added, perhaps I had better not tell
you" She pressed him, however TO continue,
confusion. that in his Office First Lord of the
Treasury it had been his duty to remain till
the very last with the body of the King, who had
given him strict injunctions not to leave it,
and had desired to be buried with whatever
ornaments might be upon his person at the
time of his death. The Duke was quite alone
with the body, then lying in an open coffin, and
his curiosity being excited by seeing a small
jewel hanging round the neck of the King, he
was tempted to look at it, when he found that it

the conversation between them led that way,

FREQUENT FRESHETS.
Natural Phenomena that Puzzled Western
Congressman of Long Ago.
Washington Letter.

Washington Letter.
Congressman from the West, twenty years or
more ago. though possessing large share Of
'hoss sense" were decidedly deficient in book
larnin." Among the most noted of this class was
John Reynolds, at one time Governor of the
State of Illinois. who is immortaliZed in the fol-
lowing sketch of two freshets in one day:
The Governor having been selected by his dis
trict to represent it at the federal capital on ar
rival there became an object of great curiosity
and the center Of many laughing crowd. Dur
ing the recess of Congress for the holidays he
accepted an invitation to spend week in Balti-
more with some new friends.
On arriving there, he determined to see all the
sights of the monumental city alone, and ap-
peared to enjoy nothing better than loafng gen
orally, in all parts of the city. The ships and
steamboats, and oyster boats all attracted atten-
ton, but especially the river.
Now, it must be stated at this stage of my
story that the Governor was from the banks of
the Mississippi. whose mighty waters at times
resemble great inland sea, or narrow, long
shallow pond, according to the volume of water
created by the rain which has fallen Upon the
country it drains.
Well, it was noticed by his friends that the
Governor for several days made morning noon
and evening trips to the wharf, and returned
with puzzled. distracted air. On being asked
the reason for this manner. he would reply,
shaking his head: Mighty strange river, this
-quare country"
He was very much afraid of being qulzzed or
sold and hence fought shy. On one occasion
however. being thrown off his guard while in an
exhilarated condition, on being asked the reason
for his opinion of the country and the river. he
told the story of his puzzled condition thus:
Gentlemen, you see, go down to your river
in the mornen and find it up to the banks, in the
afternoon it is very low, and in the evenen
boomen full. This is the quarest country and
quarest river ever seed. You have two fresh

The Man with the Green Shade.

Atlanta Constitution.
Have you ever seen the man with the green
shade over his eyes2
If you have not, it is beca use you stay home
at night, for the man with a green shade don't
come on deck until the hot, yellow fare of the
gaslight is turned on. He is not really at him
self until the tnkle of the last car bell is heard
and the city is slumbeiing. You can see him
then through the half turned blind of the bank
ingroom. He is oblivious to everything on earth,
except the white pages of his ledger and the
long, long columns of figures. He does not hear
the steady tread of the policeman on his beat
nor the quick footfal of the reporter out after
a late item On and on. hour after hour, his
pen moves until the columns of figures run into
one another and get all jumbled up Then the
man with the green shade over his eyes goes to
the bottom again and takes new start Again
he is baffled. His brain-steam is low. He stops,
chances at the light. pushes the green shade up
over his front hair, rubs his eyes, and looks
angrily at the light again as if it was some task
imp He looks appealingly at his work, and
again the green shade is lowering over the col
umn of figures.
At length the clock strikes one; the last figure
is in its place; off comes the pasteboard crescent
on goes the .overcoat, and the man who had the
green shade over his eyes energies, and the door
is locked behind him.
