His Opinion OF Brown.

Nicholas Hill, the brightest lawyer
probably that ever practiced in the AL
bany County bar, was a bluff, hearty,
manly fellow, who always said what he
meant and meant what he said. OF a
deep. acute, logical mind. he was frank
withal and could never successfully dis
simulate or conceal his true sentiments.
An amusing instance of this is given,
when, upon a certain occasion. he apol-
ogized to politician 1--WE will call him
Brown for speaking of him in rather
harsh terms at great political meet
ing of those days. Brown" said he,
II feel that have said a great many
hard things about you, and now that all
the old issues are buried and the follies
of the campaign at an end, feel that ]
ought to make an apology to you for
what has happened and have it settled
up" 'Oh. don't mind that" replied
Brown; '.let it pass. If you keep quiet
in the future will be satisfied" mo,
no." persisted Hill; i've called you a
public thief. liar, and scoundrel."
Never mind, / beg of you," was the
polite answer. But l do" rejoined
the lawyer; Il have called you villain,
a scoundrel, a trickster, and-and-I'll
be hanged if don't think SO still" 1t
is not narrated that Brown laughed
heartily at the candor of his legal
friend.-Ai6dny Argus.

A Child in the Storm.

won't YOU come home now, father,
please?' she said. Her voice was low
and childish, and the sweet, upturned
face was pale and quivering with some
hardly suppressed emotion-but the
man toward whom the appeal and
agony were directed took little notice
of either.
why do you bother me?" he said,
impatiently, go home. I'll come
when I'm ready" and regaining with
an effort his uncertain balance, he left
her.
The girl looked after him wistfully.
then, as his form was lost to her view
in the crowded room, with deep de-
spairing sigh she turned and left the
place. Outside the electric lights
streamed full upon her slender figure
as she hesitated moment before de-
scending the step. The night was cold
and stormy. An icy sleet was falling,
driven in every direction by the capri
cious and fitful wind gusts, and the few
pedestrians who were abroad hurried
on their way anxious to gain shelter.
The girl alone appeared unconscious of

cannot go home without him. and
now she turned swiftly and retraced
her steps. She paused not a moment
on the threshold; evidently she feared
her own resolution. The doors yield
ed instantly to her touch, and once
more she looked over the scene whose
light and warmth and comfort were as
little to her as the wind and rain out
side. Her searching glance soon
found out her father; for the moment
he was standing alone, and his daugh-
ter felt that she had one more chance.
Rapidly she gained his side.
Father, dear father" she began.
speaking low but passionately, II can
not leave you here. ! cannot face
mamma without you; she has waited
so many nights for your homecoming,
and the hours are SO weary without
you. Oh, father" the child went on,
gathering up all her energies as she
saw that her listener was half needing
her words, "break away from this
wretched place, come back to your
home and mamma and me; we love
you so dearly we cannot live without
you. and oh! it is all so different now
from what it used to be-" The child
ish voice was breaking. ''Such little
time ago we were all so happy" Here
sob almost choked her. She slipped
her clinging fingers into the unresent-
ing hand of the man who staggered at
her side. Come back to us, father;
come home with me now," and the
tears, no longer within her power to
restrain, coursed down her pale cheeks
as she lifted her face to him, holding
his gaze with her wistfui, pleading
eyes.
The mans features worked convul-
sively; he looked about him once half
desperately; then some better feeling
swept over him, and, Strengthening
himself up, he said brokenly, II will
go with you. Jennie" and clasping
close the hand of his little daughter. as
if that frail guide were his chief sup
port, the two together went out from
the light and glare and dazzle of the
roller skating rink forever.-Nev York

CHIROGRAPHY.
A Hotel Clerk Says Mans Handwritir
will Indicate His Position.

''How do you manage when assign
ing rooms to your guests to locate one
on the fourth or 6fth floor and the
other on the second, when each pays
the same rate per diem?" was asked
the landlord of one of the hotels by a
reporter few DAYS since.
''YOu had better ask one of the
clerks" replied the boniface with a
smile. They know all about such
things and will doubtless communicate
the secret to you"
The reporter sought out the clerk
and repeated the question. His reply
was laconic and to the point:
I'VE size 'em up"
'.But do You never make mistakes?"
asked the reporter.
Seldom" answered the clerk, and
perceiving that the reporter would not
be choked oil. he continued: "One rea-
son why we seldom make mistakes is
that We can judge, in a measure, by
the way man registers of what he
has been accustomed to at home. If a
man will be contented with small
room in his own house, he is not likely
to make any very decided objection to
the same accommodation at hotel.
This is more especially true in the case
of those who, like merchants from the
interior, come to the city but once or
twice a year to buy goods. They are
the kind of room they are occupying,

''In small towns hotel clerks have a
practice of giving the most desirable
rooms to parties who claim to come
from some large city. for the reason
that they should have better knowl-
edge of hotel life than their rural
brethren. Travellers are beginning to
realize this, and will register as from
New York or Boston, in order that
they may get a good room, and they
win the trick. The most essential
thing in the makeup of hotel clerk
is to be able to fill the house from the
top down, and at the same time make
everyone believe that they are getting
the best rooms. Detroit Free Press.

The Hon. Richelieu Robinson, of
Brooklyn, New York, has gone out of
Congress but he is still alive. At recent
gathering of bis tellow-Irishmen, at Stein
way Hall, New York, Mr.. Robinson spoke of
"Irish and English Influence in America"
Mr.. Robinson protested against being
termed tail-twister. He preferred to
have the title of neck-wringer. In his
opinion, to twist the tail implied that be
approached the animal from behind, which
was cowardly. Il would rather have you
believe" he said. that l step in front of
him and smite him between the eyes,
Mr.. Robinson said that he had been
forty-nine years in America He had
studied American history deeply. He
said that every great battle of the Revolu-
tion was won through Irish prowess, and
that Washington himself was a patu-
rallied Irishman. Every portion Of the his
tory of this country" he SAID, shows that
if you divorce Irish sentiment from
American sentiment you will have no
sentiment left. Both are antagonized to
the English. That reprobate, James Rus
sell Lowell, was an American before he
bent his knee beneath English mahogany.
He has been turned out, thank God, but
whether for good or not we can't tell, as
we haven't tried the other fellow vet
The trouble is that certain persons are
to get English customs intro

Americans. Champagne is flowing like
rivers all over this country, imported by |

Washington does not suit me. l hear
