He Was Equal to he Emergency.
From the Chicago Hernia.


Two young women sat in West Side car
yesterday morning, pink-faced baby
crowed and chirped on t. knee of the elder
OF ne two. At Morgan street a young man
with blonde moustache entered the yellow
hearse and sat down opposite the two women
and the chipping and Growing baby. The
little ones eyes fell on the new passenger and
then it's little PINK mouth yelled Papa :"
The young man grew as red as liver pad and
tried to LOOK amused.
"Dots my papa continued the dear little
kid, growing more demonstrative and point
ing one of It's chubby fingers at the crimson
picture of embarrassment and rage sitting
just across the way.
'S-s-s-s-h, darling" came an asthmatic
chorus from the two women, who were be-
coming uneasy.

morsel in lace and linen.

"Your papa is home. Now be q good little
girl and mamma Will buy you something

But want papa to take me-" pleaded the
tot. stretching her arms toward the Young
man with the blonde moustache.
Things were coming to a crisis. The fellow
glared about the car and its titterng occu-
psnts with a wild eve and then gazed long
and wistfully at the door. But he did not run
away. With that gallantry an self-posses-
sion so characteristic of West Siders he
stepped over to the blushng woman and
pr, ssed the sobbing child to his snirt front.
The effect was instantaneous. Baby was her

An amusing story has been going the round
OF the French papers respecting a General
whose recent duelling exploits have excited
some amusement both in England and on the
continent. This worthy brave is said to be
possessed OF an extraordinary coat of mail.
One day, SO the story goes, General - sent
for clever artisan in Paris, and demanded
of him whether he would engage to make
coat of mail, to be worn under the ordinary
dress, which should be absolutely sword and
bullet proof. The man promised to do as re-
quested, naming $4,000 francs as the price of
1t. The bargain was speedily concluded, and
in due time the article was brought round to
the Generals house. The General took it up,
carefully examined it, and, turning to the
man, told him TO put it on. The man did as
he was bid.
LAS you guarantee the efficacy of your coat
you will have, presume. no objection to my
testing it," dryly remarked the General and
before the astonished artisan could protest
took brace of pistols and discharged them
Half dead with fear, the man stood the fire,
and. to the great credit OF his workmanship
with complete impunity. But the General
was not content with one trial. He fred
second pistol at the back of the man, and af-
terward discharged a fowllngplece at him
with similar effect, or rather non effect. He
also tried in vain TO pierce the coat with a
sword. The gallant General was so delighted
with his new gar ent that he handed the
artisan two checks for 1900Of.. the first being
the sum agreed on, and the second check in
compensation for the fright he had given him,

1t sometimes happens that the country pas
t or, like his city brother, fails to adapt his
sermon to his congregation. He breaches to
an imaginary group of thinkers or to a class
uDrepresented in his parish. An illustration
OF this mlsfitting came under the historians
notice. An intimate friend of his, an Episco-
pal clergyman, was taking his outing on the
Maine coast, and was clothed appropriately in
blue flannel shirt, with rough othIng to
match. Burned by the sun. and altogether
hardened in his aspect, the clergyman made
his way on Sunday morning to the only
place OF worship in the region.
aud sat under the ministrat1ons
of good Methodist brother. The few faith
full men and women who made up the congre-
cation were all in their places and their
devoutness was marked. Imagine, then the
wonder of the clerical hearer when the pastor
announced his subject as an attempt to prove
the existence of God. Arguments of unbe-
levers, which these simple hearted people
had never heard, were stated and answered.
Finally, as the preacher waXer warm in his
argument, he suddenly turned and pointed to
the blue -shred Episcopal minister and cried
out: IF there is an atheist present beg him
to heed this demonstration OF the existence of
God" The lawful example" blushed deeply,
of course, as the congregation closely eyed
him.

Col. Quay's Pluck.
From tho Pitts6urg Dispatch


Col. Quay's presence in the CITY calls IN

typhoid fever. He survived, but was so

home, TO take to their families. Some of them
had received their bounty money at the same
time. and the sum intrusted TO his keeuing
amounted in all TO S34.742. The surgeon came
INTO his tent one morning and said: you've
got TO 20 to the hospital. This army is going

Quay said he wouldn't go TO the hospital, If

Some of the Republican journals have
! not abandoned the attempt TO make 1t
! appear that Messrs. Morrison, Carlisle
and Hurd were all "broken up" as it were,
! over the results OF the November elections.
The stories they have spread abroad re-
| speeding the appearance or these three
men are quite amusing to those who
! ere aware OF the facts. MOrrison's de-
| feat, it is said, makes him look ten years
Older than he did when he left for his
home at the close OF the last session.
They further assert that bis splrl5 ia too
broken to contest his opponents election,
| although claiming that he was not
! elected by fair means.
The truth is that Mr.. Morrison is as
Jolly as he ever was, and doesn't appear
like man whose days of usefulness are
over. 1t is true that he thinks he was
not fairly beaten, but he is not the man
10 make fight for position to which, if
he were successful, there would not be a
full assent to his title.
OF Speaker Carlisle it is said that he Is
CHASTITY pale, nervous and fretful. OF
course this is all bosh. Mr.. Carlisle was
never anything else than pale. II any
protectionist ever saw color in his face
they have seen something his nearest
friends haven't. AS for being nervous
or frettul that cannot possibly be true.
Mr.. Carlisle is amiable always. His
kindness, his even temper and his un-
varying courtesy are among his strong
points.
Frank Hurd is young man yet and it
Is not at all probable that he is going
about with woe-begone countenance,
especially as the prospects of tariff re-
form look particularly bright just now,
The tariff reform leaders are all right.
They are engaged in a contest In which
they are bound to win eventually.

The decision rendered in the United
States Court at st. Louis by Judge Bar
clay in the case OF the District Attorney
VS.. the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph
Company is interesting to all who have
business with the wires. The defense
against responsibility rested on the con-
hitions printed on the blank, but the
court held that all that need be stated
concerning such stipulation is that so
far as it seems to exempt The telegraph
company from the consequences of its
own negligence it is against public policy
and entirely void and of no effect.

A contest of Mr.. Tilden's will has been

Tilden, nephew of Mr.. Tilden and one

complaint is that the provisions of the
will respecting the establishment OF
libraries are indefinite and uncertain,
