A Story Of Arthur Gilman.

A number of architects were talking
the other day of the bright men of the
profession in Boston, and they agreed
that the late Arthur Gilman, who de-
signed the City Hall, Arlington Street
Church and Horticultural Hall, took the
palm for dashing self-confdence. The
way in which his practical humor
cropped out amid seemingly adverse
conditions was recalled by a good
story. Though he made q good deal
of money he managed to spend more,
and the result was that he applied on a
certain occasion to take the poor
debtors oath. To be able to take this
oath n person has to satisfy the magis-
trate that he is not worth $50 in the
world outside of certain exempted arti-
Giles of property. The questions put to
Mr.. Gilman by the counsel for the crcdi-
tor elected the fact that he was board
ing at the fremont House, then kept by
that prince of landlords, Paran Stevens,
at the rate of $40 a week.
lis not this a high price for a man
who hasn't got 500 in the world" asked
the lawyer. The architect hesitatcd
about answering this troublesome ques-
ton, but on being told by the Judge
that he must reply to it, he exclaimed:
eyes, your honor, 1 have often told
Mr.. Stevens that he was charging me a
great deal too much, and l wish your
honor would present the matter to him
in this light"
The GOODNESS of this speech convulscd
its hearers, and the judge, who knew
Gilman in his social relations, could no
refrain from joining in the merrimcnt.
The witty architect was allowed to talk
the oath.-BoSton Record.

Small Ciyilfties.

Optional civilities, such as saying to
ones inferior, 'Do not stand without
your hat" to ones equal, do not rise, l
beg you," "Do not come out in the rain
to put me in my carriage" naturally
occur to the kind hearted, but they may
be cultivated. 1t used to be enumerated
among the uses of foreign travel, that a
man went away n bear and came home
a gentleman. 1t is not natural to the
Anglo-SaXon race to he ovcr-polite. 4
husband in France moves ont an easy
chair for his wife, and sets a foot-stool
for every lady. He hands her the morn
ing paper, he brings a shawl if there rs
danger Of a draught, he kisses her hand
when he comes in, and tries to make him.
self agreeable to her in the matter of
these optional civilitics. 1t has the most
charming effect upon all domestic life,
and we find a curious ~allusion to the po.
likeness observed by French sons toward
their mothers and fathers in one of
Moliere's comedies. where q prodigal son
observes to his father, who m to de-
nounce him, "Pray, sir, take a chair; you
could scold me SO much more Mt your ease

TWO AGED BROTHERS ZEE AFTER FORTY
YEARS SEPARATION.

A Louisville letter, says: Mr.. Will
liam Bache, of Philadelphia, arrived in
Louisville, Ky, on a visit to relatives.
He is a brother of Mr.. Lewis Bachc.
The two brothers were born in Philadel-
phia and are great-grandsons of Benja-
min Franklin. Mr.. Lewis Bache is
eighty years old and Mr.. William Bache
is seventy-five, though they are both
hale and hearty and look many years
younger. The latter is a printer by pro-
fession and has followed the business
all his life. At the age of twenty-one
he was elected Public Printer of Penn
sylvania and took charge of the office Mt
Harrisburg, which he held for several
years. Fifty-four years ago the two
brothers separated at Pottsville, Pa.
Lewis went to Sandusky, Ohio, thence
to Columbus, Ohio, whence he came to
this city forty-seven years ago. They
lost sight of each other n few years there
after. Finally each concluded hat the
other was dead. A year ago a chance
paragraph in a newspaper caused the
Louisville branch of the family to inves.
tigate the matter, and the result was the
discovery that Mr.. William Bache was
still living in Philadelphia. The meet
ing between the old men was very
hearty, and their unfcigncd affection for
each other was demonstrated in q man
ner that was very affecting. The visitor
will remain several weeks.

\ good name is your best trademark.

Young man, honesty nowadays is rare,

Look closely after tho construction OF

esteeming of it for others.
Young men are often seen hunting for
a reputation, but a reputation will never
hunt for a young man.
If you will tolerate a liar to-day you
will befriend him next week, if not
sooner, and pose as n yourself soon
after.
You can prove your pedigree by your
parents, but your good qualities will be
recognized without any such evidence.
When finally you decide that you
don't know much, the sooner you stop

better. =

The Foolish D

Truly the ways of the Georgia gopher
are curious. DR.. Bruce, of cambridge,
says that one of the first things he learned
after coming to this section from Vir-
glnla was not to bet on gophers. He
was boarding with old Mr.. Peobody,
who has a field of corn and peas on new
ground near town. The old gentleman
complained terribly of the gophcrs, and
one morning ut the breakfast-tablc he
SAID ne was going to catch one which
was dong him special damage.
how are you going to catch him, Mr..
P~eabody?" said the young doctor.
-! am going to bury a box ut the
mouth OF his den, sir, and about eleven
o'clock he will come out to feed and will
tumble in n l will have him."
The young Virginian laughed at the
L bet you a dollar the gopher is
not that big a fool" said he.
"Good," said the old gentleman, and
the money was put up.
The box was duly set ut the mouth of
the gopher hole, and both gentlemen
went on about their business down town.
"A little after eleven o'clock DR.. Bruce re-
membcred the bet. and slipped off down
to the field to see for himself. His own
words tells the rest:
III be hangee If the old fool wasn't
in the box, SUI enough. l then put
him back in the hole, and with a long
pole pushed him as far down as I
could. giving him all the hard thrusts l
thought necessary to make him stay
there. 1 then went back down town and
hunted up Peabody, who had forgotten
all abort the gopher until l reminded
him that it was past the gopher's dinner
hour.
"'Sure anough,' he said. come and
go with me, l want my dollar
MIR. Peabody, I'll bet you another
you don't get him.
"'Good. I'd rather win two dollars
than one
when we arrived at the gopher's
hole I'll be hanged if he wasn't in the
box again. 1 lost my money, and make
1t a rule never to bet on Il gopher.

Chestnuts for Rheumatism.

Chestnuts--not of the story telling
kind, nor yet OF the kind roasted and
sold on street corners-but horse chest
nuts, such as Bishop McNierncy is car-
rylng in his trousers pockets for relief
from rheumatism. The .Srod Bishop Of
Albany has been induced to carry horse
chestnuts by Il Californian. who told him
that the superstition is u native OF the
Pacific coast. The Californian is mis-
taken. 1t was introduced upon the Pa
cifc coast in 1851 by Il New Highlander,
who was q prominent officer in the San
Francisco Custom House. He both
practised and preached it, and every
Cape Horn, for q package of horse chest
nuts to distribute among his converts.
1t has prevailed in many parts of New
England for a hundred years certainly,
and probably longer, and there is no sea-
port between Portland and Boston
where dozens of old people cannot be
found with horse chestnuts in their poe
kets. to which they attribute their free
dom from rheumatic complaints.
Whence the superstition originally came
we do not know, but we are sure that
New England ia the place from which
1t has been genera|7 diffused through
out the United States. An instance,
however, has recently been brought to
our notice in which it was both believed
and practised by an intelligent immi-
grant undo circumstances which imply
that he learned it first in Ireland. Ac-
cording to our observation of the New
England usage the anti-rheumatic virtue
is supposed to depart from horse chest
nuts after q year, when the old dried
nuts should be replaced with fresh ones.
