Ben Hardin's Great Speech.

Ben Hardin, the Kentucky lawyer, was
an orator possessed of such skill in moving
the hearts of men that very few who heard
the beginning of one of his speeches had
inclination or ability to leave before its
conclusion.
He once hit upon the ingenious device
of describing the conversations which had
taken place among the dogs of the town
about his clients adversary and the oppos-
ing witnesses. This speech occupied the
greater part of the day.
\ farmers wife, living in the country,
had sent her negro boy to town on an err
rand, with orders to return as soon as it
was completed. The boy, however did not
appear again until nightfall, and his mis-
tress, out of all patience, asked her hus-
band to take him out for whipping
The master, intending to comply,
thought he would, nevertheless, hear what
the negro had to say in self-defense.
I" Pll tell you how it was, massa," said
the boy. went 30 town, and was start

the danger in case of accident is also great.
A very one-sided development is the con-

the horse; it is more difficult for them to

from back to knee from the right side, and

cutta Police Court by Narain Chunder
Mookeriee, on behalf of Baboo Kanve
Lall Duhr, with the theft of a gold throne
Of the Hindoo god Shalgram, valued at
go rupees, a gold Brahminical thread and
a gold umbrella belonging to the go,l. On

covered that the throne of Shalgram (which
was placed in front of the Goddess Door
gah in the dallah), was missing, and also
the gold Brahminical badge and umbrella
Of the Shalgram. Information was given
at the local thannah, and the accused was
identified as having been at the Baboo's
poojah house on the night of the 25th on
two occasions, the last being at about II P.
NJ, when he was asked how he came to be
there without an invitation, and replied
that he had come to see the pooiah.
The throne found with the accused was
identified by the complainant as his prop
erty. Inspector Davis informed the Court
that there had been three other similar
cases on the three successive nights of the
poolah's, which were still undiscovered,
there being no trace of the property stolen
or the thieves. The accused pleaded not
guilty, but was convicted and sentenced to
nine months imprisonment.-PaH Mall

from his pocketbook n e5 note, and they
naturally counted ont five sovereigns, at

that the Baron Rothschild should have

The baron examined one by one the coins,
and put them in 4 little canvas bag: then
drawing out another note-a third

pieces of gold into the bag without scrupu-

had employed seven hours to change GIL

his house engaged in the same manner, it
resulted that the house of Rothschild had

England, and that he had so occupied the
tellers that no other person could change

MENpING THE OLD FLAG.

In the silent gloom of garnet room,
with cobwebs around II creeping,
From day TO day the old flag lay
A veteran worn and sleeping,
Dinghy old each wrinkled fold
By the dust of years was shaded
wounds of the storm were upon its form.
The crimson stripes were faded.
Twas mournful sight in the day twilight
This thing of humble seeming,
That once SO proud o Ter the cheering crowd
Had carried its colors cleaning;
Stained with mold are the braids of gold
That had flashed in the sun rays kissing;
Of faded hue was its fiel of blue,
And some of the ST 4rs We're missing.
Three northern maids and three from glades
Where dreams the southland weather,
with glances kind and arms entWined,
Came up the stairs together;
They gazed awhile with a thoughtful smile
Al the crouching form before them;
With clinging hold they grdsped its folds,
And out in the darkness bore them.
They healed its scars, they found its stars,
Aud brought them all together,
(Ihree northern maids and three from glades
Where smiles the southland weather;
They mended away through the summer day
Made glad by an inspiration
To fling it high at the smiling sky
On the birthday of our nation.
In the brilliant glare of the summer air,
With brisk breeze round it creeping,
Newly bright with glistening light
The flag went gTandly sweeping
Cleaning ana bold Were its brads of gold.
And flashed in the sun rays kissing;
Red, white and blue were of deepest hue,
And none OF the stars were missing
