Lord Randoiph's Aggressive Toe.
From London Society.

The eccentricities Of great men would
form big library of volumes if collected
properly by any careful Boswell or board
of BosWells. 1t seems among others that
Lord Randolph Churchill has developed
the following popularity in his parlia-
mentary demeanor. He usually sits
with his legs crossed, and the point of
his toe extended outward, thing, per-
haps, not necessarily remarkable in it
self, but which has become SO owing to
circumstances, for this extended toe OF
his is to those who know, quite a barom-
eter of the noble lords parliamentary
humor. When he obligingly lowers
the toe to allow fellow-members to pass
to and fro, the initiated note with glee
that it is fair weather in the Churchill
camp, but when the toe is extended
stiffy like the lance of some warrior
dressed for the tourney, declining to
lower or give way an inch, then people
in the Immediate vicinity look out for
storms, and they are not usually disap-
pointed. Owing to the discovery of this
peculiarly of the noble lords there
were some members in the House to
whom his unexpected" speech on the
local government bill was not altogether
surprise. The toe had been SO rigid,
so obstinately defiant all through the
debate, that they expected that some
thing not altogether pleasant would hap
pen before the house rose.

A NObIeman by Nature.
From the Boston Gazette.

There died in Plymouth on Thursday
last one of natures noblemen. He was
an old man, and his name was Henry
Weston. He was carpenter by trade,
and in that trade we doubt if his supe-
rior could be found in native intelli-
gence, practical experience and real
skill. He was man of few words, but
when he spoke Che meant all he said.
He was thoughtful, and when he made
a statement or>an agreement his mind
was made up, and it could not be
changed. His heart was warm and his
nature was as gentle as that of little
child. He felt pleasantly toward every
body at first, in the happy hope that
everybody was as good as he was.
When he found himself deceived he
simply refused to do any work for the
man who had deceived him, plying the
sinner, but not going out of the way to
abuse him. He was always doing little
things TOR his neighbors and friends,
and even for strangers-surely for little
chlIdren-ln a very sweet spirit, and
wherever he went. he was welcome, be-
cause he was respected and beloved.
Such a man as Henry Weston, and such
a lie as his spread good influence
throughout the community in which he
lives. A simple story of him, of which
we have personal knowledge, is illus
trative OF his character, and is one
among many incidents in his long ca
reer of usefulness which secured for
his inoorruptible honesty, the en-
tire confidence and the implicit faith Of
all who knew him. Several years ago
Mr.. Weston made a contract with
gentleman to make new house out of an
old one, and to erect a. nice stable. 1t
was signed by both parties. From time
to time, as necessity required, money
was called for by Mr.. Weston, his en-
ployer wondering allthe while why he
did not call for more. Finally the work
was finished. That it was perfectly
satisfactory goes without saying, be-
cause Henry Weston did it. It could
not have been better done. Well, one
day the owner of the house sent for
Mr.. Weston, showed him the contract,
handed him a check for the balance
due, say some twelve hundred dollars,
and asked if there were any other
charges Mr.. Weston looked up, hand
ed back the check, and said, "When
made that contract the price of lumber
was so and so, and | figured on what |
thought should be obliged to paw for
It. Lumber went down and it did not
cost me nearly as much as [ anticipated,
and as [ charged for. All you owe me
is $780," The gentleman tried every ar
gument in his power to convince him
that, had the lumber advanced, he
would still have been held to his con-
tract, but it was of no avail. This
grand old man, this faithful workman,
could not be made to believe that he
would do right in availing himself of
perfectly legitimate profit, and said that
he could not feel at peace if he per-
mltted himself to receive more than a
fair compensation for his time and SER
vices and for the purchase of material
A small present for member of his
family was all that Mr.. Weston could be
induced to accept. Mr.. Weston was a
central figure in the everyday life OF
the people of Plymouth, and his loss
will be generally and deeply felt.
