Anecdote of Chief Justice Marshall.

Ny friend DR.. Hay related to me an anus
inc anecdote of Marshall's simplicity. The
doctors father when boy was employed as
a cOpyist in the clerks office, and was sent
one morning with a bundle of papers to
Malshalls residence. Having reached the
square old mansion, which is still standing
not lar from the Capitol, he knocked at the
door, and the great judge opened it, walking
in his stocking feet in order not to disturb
his invalid wife. The youth was very much
abashed at being thus suddenly confronted
by the famous chief justice, who gravely
invited him TO come into his study and wait
while he examined the papers.
The boy followed in fear and trembling,
and the judge looked over the papers. Then
he carefully folded them up, turned round to
the shrinking boy, and said:
"Your name is Jimmy Hay is it not"
eyes, sir, faltered the boy.
"Well, Jimmy" continued Marshall, rising
slowly, with friendly smile, "let us go into
the backyard and have game of marbles"
l have no doubt he enjoyed the game of
marbles as much as the boy.-YOuth'S Com

A French Cemetery.

Members of the leading French Jewish
families are buried on the right of the en-
trance TO Pere Lachaise The Rothschld
monument is the largest, and in much the
style of that of the great actress, Rachel
Adah Menken lies in the same quarter, be-
meath plain tomb on which are inscribed
only the words "Thou Knowest" The monu-
ment of the Rob es family is one of the most
striking in the cemetery. Its chief feature is
a death mask in bronze of life size, with open
eyes, the forefnger of the right hand resting
on the closed lips, signifying eternal silence
But, on the whole, the famous cemetery is
hideous, its extreme stiffness and artifciality
seeming like satire on the dead. Even the
Parisians are beginning to perceive this, and
may in time evince some taste in their places
of interment.-New York Commercial Ad-

type whose CRITTERS" and vegetables
always bring more money than other
peoples. On the contrary, if there was
any difference between tleprice that he got
for his products and the market rate, it
was generally to his disadvantage. One
day on his way back from the village he
complained bitterly to the people with
whom he gossiped along the road that the
storekeeper had abused him most shame
fully by giving him only nine cents a pound
for his maple sugar. "But, gol dern him."

Peers that Are Pensioned.

1t is stated that relatives OF peers have
received $500, 000, 900 of public money
since 1865. Each Duke also has sent at
present ffty-six relatives in public office.
The 402 hereditary peers own an average
of 80, 900 acres each and draw a total an
nual rental OF $50, 600, 900. The Duke of
Richmond has made a specially good thing
out of his ancestors. A perpetual pension
of f19, 900 was granted to n OF the
dukes. To commute this consols worth
1888 600 were purchased when consols were
below par and the bonds were put aside for
the Duke. These ~consols rose above par,
were sold, and the proceeds invested III
land, which now gives the Duke ESQ, 600 80
year in place of.e19, 900 year to which
he is entitled. To reform the present house
OF peers there are some persons h advo-
cate the Chinese hereditary system, by
which a dukes son would be a marquis, the
grandson an earl, and so on until the fami-
ly either entirely lost its title or was re!
enobled for fresh services to the state.

Collins.

There are thirty-four coffin factories in
the United States, and they turn out an
average OF $50 collins and caskets a day.
The largestfactory is in Cincinnati; it covers
acres OF ground and it's shop facilities are
so great hat it manufactures everything
necessary to n complete funeral, EXCEPT
corpses. Anything from a tack up to q
hearse be seen in process OF manufac.
ture on their premises. Nextto Cincinnati,
Chicago has the largest coffin factories.
The biggest coffin kept in stock is six feet
nine inches in length and has an opening Of
twenty-eight or twenty-nine inches. The
average opening is only eighteen or nine
teen inches, and the average long coffin is
six feet four inches. The longest coffin
turned out by any factory is a nine-footer,
in which the dignitaries OF the Catholic
church are buried. Such a coffin was used
at the burial of Cardinal McCloskey, the
extra length being required for his crown,
which he wore in death. About twenty
four hours were taken to put this coffin
together, but any ordinary coffin, that is,
a coffin Of extra large size, no matter what
it's cost or the character OF the trimmings
or upholstery, can be put together from
the rough boards in three hours at the
utmost.-[Cincinnati Commercial.

Death of a Giant.

Fred Decker, better known as the 'Os-

age of so years. During his earlier life he
was seven feet two and one-half inches in
height and weighed 325 pounds. AS he
grew older he became round-shouldered,
and at the time OF his death he was but six
feet eleven inches high. Some years ago
Mr.. Decker was for a time an exhibit in q
New York museum, and for his services in
this capacity he received $50 per month,
but the idle life he there led grew d~istaste-

county, where he could enjoy the freedom

his extraordinary strength.-[Elmira Ad-

A Wifess Good Fortune.

"There is a woman at the bottom Of it, !"
is a trite remark. True; women are at the
bottom of good as well as evil. Congress
man Whiting, of Holyoke, made a little
speech recently at a dinner in this city,
and in the course of his remarks on the in
fluence of paper, he stated this incident,
not by any means q new one: 1.-THE intro.
duction OF blue paper is another interest
ing item. The owner OF a small mill in Eng.
land went to London to sell his product,
leaving his wife at home. 1t was washing
day-presumably Monday-and the good
wife had a ~blueing-bag tied to her apron.
She visited The mill, and, leaning over the
engine, dropped her blueing bag, and
instead of white paper she had q lot of
blue paper. She met her husband upon
his return with a good deal Of apprehen-
sion, and informed him OF the misfortune.
He felt as if a serious mistake had been
made until he sent the product to market
and received five cents per pound more
than for his usual article, and thereafter
his mill was run on blue paper, and brought
him a fortune.
