Samples or Irish Fun.

Wit has not died out in Ireland.
Judge Keogh, who. by the way, was
hated of all men in Ireland, was one
day adjudicating IN a case. the point Of
which had reference to document that
the defense endeayored to show had
been signed when the prosecutor was
drunk. Under eross-examination the
following dialogue took place in court:
The defending barrister: Now, sir.
will you tell his lordship what you had
to drink on that occasion before you
signed the document"
Indeed, your honor" said the wit
ness. II don't think gentleman need
say what he had to drink for dinner"
Il think you are bound to answer
the question" said Judge Keogh, sol-
EMMY.
''Did you take sherry. sir?" demand
ed the barrister,
"Well, yes, | had couple Of glasses
Of sherry"
"And did you take claret and cham
pagne?"
.No; don't drink either,' was the
answer.
Now, sir. after dinaer did you have
some whiskye"
Certainly, had some whisky9h
Now. ON your oath. did you have
three glasses of whisky?"
Il must appeal TO your iordship. Am
bound TO answer the question:
Yes" answered keogh. with a
.augh. Il think you are.
Very well, replied the witness. Il
had three glasses of whisky"
Now, sir, will you say it was not
fve?"
Again I appeal to your lor,iship,"
said the witness. and, meeting with no
answer, said:
well. yes. 1t was five"
"Will you swear il was not temp"
A mute glance of appeal toward the
bench, and then came the answer: Il
| will not swear
Upon your oath, was j. not ffteen?'
"Well, yes; it was fifteen"
Now, then. sir, | ask you was it not
twenty9'
mo. sir, 1t was pot twenty?"
'Oh, oh, said the barrister. Here
! is gentleman who drinks two glasses
of sherry at dinner and admits having
| had fifteen tumblers of whisky. and yet
is able to remember that be did not take
twenty. Now. sir. how do you recollect
it was not twenty?"
WHY, then. I'll tell you" and. turn

will remember, your honor. we were at
| dinner together and afterward, coming
| down stairs. said to you, L have had
eighteen tumblers OF whisky and you

There were roars Of laughter in court,
in which Keogh joined, for he had an

The Model Boarder.

He is quite a gentleman. A smile
permanently settles on his clean face.
He wipes his boots on the mat before he
goes upstairs. He pays high rent. and
has but few friends. Ho leaves his
drawers open. He has a cellar of coal
at time. He takes a newspaper, and
is not in hurry for it in the morning.
He is never out later than ten. He
shaves with cold water. He never adds
up bill. He is fond of children. He
likes to buy them sweetmests. and to
take child occasionally to the theatre.
He never dimes at home except on San
days. and that rarely. The landlady
orders bis dinner; il is generally very
large joint. with plenty of vegetables, q
very large pie. and very large piece OF
cheese. He never inquiries for the Joint,
or tie pie. or anything the next day. He
lends his books cheerfully. He is in
doubt about the exact number of his
shirts. He rarely rings the bell. He
pays for extras without nnurmur.
Rather likes music. Does not object tc
piano and flute playing different
tunes at the same time. He is never in
arrears with his board; if it is not p3id
the very day it becomes due. tho reason
is because he has paid it the day before.

What Mr. Gladstone thinks or Evos


And now one word on the subject OF
Evolution. / can not follow Mr.. Hux-
ley in his minute acquaintance with In.
dian sages, and | am not aware that
Evolution has a place in the greater
number of the schools of Greek phiioso-
ply. Nor can | comprehend the rapid
ty with which persons OF authority have
come to treat the Darwinian hypothesis
as having reached the final stage of de-
monstration. To the eye of looker-on
their pace and method seem rather too
much like steepleohase. But this may
very well be due TO their want of appro-
pirate knowledge and habits of thought
For myself, in my loose and uniformed
way of looking at Evolution, feel only
too much biased in its favor. by what

Kentucky Race-Horses.

Forty years ago the most distinguished
citizens of the State were engaged in
writing essays and prize papers on
scientific agriculture. A regular trot-
ting track was not to be found in the
country. Nothing was thought Of the
breeding and training of horses with
reference to development of greater
speed Pacing horses were fashionabiei
and two great rivals in this seductive
gait having been brought together for
trial of speed, in lieu of track, paced
mighty race over a river-bottOm hat.
We have changed all that. The gentle
men no longer write their essays. The
trotting horse will soon, undoubtedly,
be admitted to manhood suffrage here,
much as beef once won the spurs of
knighthood He has already, even
WITHOUT the right of voting. been styled
the first citizen. The great agricultural
fairs of the State have modified their
exhibits with reference to him alone,
and fifteen or twenty thousand people
give afternoon after afternoon to the
contemplation of his beauty and his
speed. His one rival is the thorough
bred, who goes on running faster and
faster. By-and-by time will be nc more

Peculiarities of a New York Con-
greSSman.


Burleigh Is one of the characters of
Congress. He was born in Canaan, n.
H, fifty odd wears AGO. and has never
been naturalized. although he moved
acresss the line into Northern New York
many wears ago in order 10 come to
Congress. He is a perfect type of the
tireless Yankee with a steel spring inside
of him. He has a slim body. without
spare ounce of flesh on it. small head,
close-trimmed beard. thin face and
aquiline nose. He is swift cruiser in
any kind of weather. He deals in lum-
Der and coal mines. iron ore, and runs
steamboats, and canalboats and politics
with equal success. He never keeps his
seat in the House for more than five
consecutive minutes. get he always votes,
and his bills go through like creased
lightning.
One day last Winter he couldn't get
Acting Speaker Joe Blackburn TO give
him the floor to railroad through the
Troy Public Building bill, so he waited
till Blackburn was out for luncheon, got
q Minnesota Congressman who had the
floor to let him have it. and before any
body could say Jack Robinson the bill
was passed.
Then Burleigh was afraid that War
ner Miller would not move the bill fast
enough in the Senate He rushed out
to the telegraph office and stirred up
one hundred Troy business men to send
messages to Miller. The Senator was
driven to the verge of distraction that
night by the messengers who rang his
door bell. and the next day he got the
bill passed through the Senate in self
defense. He reflected over the zeal of
the Troy business men for several days
before he understood it. and finally he
ventred to say to the Whitehall Con-
gresham. .'Burleigh, believe you got
those fellows to stir me up"
Next to Silas b. butcher, Burleigh was
Arthur's right-hand man at the Chicago
Convention. He is practical pOliti-
clan. and did not take much stock in
the efforts of the New York business
mems delegation to secure Arthur's
nomination. Long after midnight one
night a newspaper man tapped gently
at Burleigh's door at the Grand Pacific.
who's there?" shouted Burleigh in
bed
"A New York business man" was the
reply.
''All right. just shove your check un-
der the door and 60 to bed said Bur
leigh. ''It's time all honest men were

Two of Burleigh's strong points are
his emphatic language and his aversion
to dress coats. When he left home his
wife said: Now, Mr.. Burleigh, l have
only two things to ask of you. / want
you TO give Up swearing and TO wear a
dress coat on proper occasions
Il would do anything, my dear, to
please you," was the Congressman re-
ply, '.and l have fully determined not

Hsncock's Courtship.

A Cleveland Leader correspondent
writes: After Hancock graduated from
West Point his first duty was in connec-
ton with an exploring party in the west
On his way there he stopped for a short
time at St. Louis, and il was his custom
there to take Il horseback ride every
morning. As he rode down one of the
streets one bright, sunny day when it
was still early, he saw at the window of
one of the tinest-looking houses in the
city very beautiful young lady. His
eye caught hers rs he passed and he
mvoluntarily raised his hat The Young
lady blushed. waved her hand ut him.
and then stepped back into the shadow.
As the story goes. it was Il case of love
at first sight on Hancock 5 part. Morn
ing after morning he rode past that
house hoping to see her again. AT last
one day he passed by on foot Just rs she
was leaving the house on the arm of an
old gentleman. The lady recognized
him again, as he could ste by her
bushes, but she did not bow, and lust
as he passed she entered carriage
The old gentleman followed her and the
two drove rapidly away. / shall not
describe how Hancock took cab and
kept the carriage in sight, nor how graft
fed he was when after short ride he
saw it draw up at the door of one of his
old army comrades. a moment later
he had dismissed the cab. and knocked
at his friends house. His friend met
him in the hall. and in stammering
way he asked for an introduction to the
lady. a moment later he was taken in
to the parlor and introduced TO Miss
Almira Russell and her father Old Mr..
Russell was one of the rich merchants of
st. Louis. He took quickly to Hancock,
and before he left the house that after
noon the young officer received a hearty
invitation to call. which, by the way,
the young lady seconded. Hancock did
call, and he called often. The pretty
Young lady seemed to be as much at
traeted to the gay young Lieutenant as
the lieutenant was to her. After short
courship they became engaged, and
short time later were married.

How 60 Brush the Teeth.

This is 4 matter of no small impor-
tance. Most people brush across the
teeth from right to left. This manner
of brushing will not remove the accu-
mutations from between them. but
tends rather to force the debris into the
interstices. The brush should be placed
against the teeth at the gums, and ro-
tated toward the masticating surfaces
1t will thus act somewhat like bundle
of tooth picks. In order to make the
work effectual. the brush should be
applied. as described. both inside aud
outside of the teeth. and also upon the
grinding surfaces Of the double teeth.
The mouth should then be thoroughly
rinsed with tepid water.
