The Wrong Man.
From tho New York Sun.

There is small-sized tough in
Scranton who has developed into q
bruiser, and he makes it g. point to
pick quarrels with peaceable stran-
gers, just to have an excuse for fight
ing. In the mems waiting.room of the
Delaware, Lackwanna & Western Sta
ton the other day, the small-sized
tough tackled a raw-boned resident
OF the backwoods, who was waiting
to buy a ticket. He was q swarthy,
horny-handed man OF perhaps IS
year of age, and the toug h began at
him by jogging the tottering railing
against which he was leaning. The
backwoodsman took his elbow from
the railing and stood up straight
without appearing to notice the pres
ence of the little meddler.
Then the bruiser, who pretended
that he was in a great hurry to buy q
ticket, jostled against the country.

backed away and gave him more

backwoodsman, and when the latter
made another effort to give the tough

American Wives of FOREIGN
Statesmen.

st. Louis Republican.
The two most powerful Republican
statesmen in France are married to
American women. Waddington was
married to an American woman in
England and Clemenceau was married
to a. Yankee girl on her native heath.
Waddington is the son Of English par
ents, but a native of France, and
thorough Frenchman in tastes and in
stincts. Clemenceau, when he was ex.
lied from his country in the time of
the little Napoleon, settled for while
in the United States and taught
school in Connecticut.
There was bevy Of marriageable
young girls in his set, and all were en-
gagged to wed but one. He persuaded
the one to accept him: and the last
engaged was the first to be married.
Clemenceau FASTENED home at the
breaking out of the Franco Prussian
war, fought for his country, and when
peace came he took an active part in
politics. He is called an extreme
Radical in France, but in this country
he would pass for a Conservative. He
is a thorough Republican, and is am
bilious to plant the main stems of the
United States Constitution in France.
Mrs. Clemenceau is the head of the
house, and has the pleasure OF know
ing that her husband is one of the
most domestic and best regulated men
morally in French public life.
Some eminent British politicians,
too, are welded to Americans. Sir
William Vernon Harcourt, Glad
stones first lieutenant in command
OF the Liberal party, is married to
the daughter OF John Lathrop Motley,
at one time Minister to England.
Harcourt bears the reputation of be-
ing gracious to his wife only. He has
the ugliest disposition of any man in
English public life. He can seldom say
a kind word TO any body but his wife
when gruff word will answer as we'll.
In this country he would stand no
chance in politics, but in England
members of Parliament and public
men generally seldom come in contact
with the great body of people. Har-
court can mount a platform and lar
rup the Tories for hours at time,
and that satisfies his Liberal constit.
uents.
The wife of Thomas Powers O'Con.
nor. Mr.. Parnells ablest lieutenant,
is also an American, the daughter of
the late Judge Paschall Of Texas.

landed. as luck would have it, on the
only heap Of stones in sight. The
Others picked him up for dead, and
carried him up to the settlement,
where the miners held q regular wake
over him. But he came to life in the
middle Of the festiv-, the obsequies, I
mean-and it was found that he was
only crippled for life.
1.-THE miners, folks not eaoily NOV
ed. were enthusiastic about the af.
fair. and gave such testimonials as
they. could, to show their gratitude
and appreciation. One of these ex.
pressions took the form Of q souvenir,
signed by every man in the place.
'"The man who takes his own life in
his hand every day. and has frequent.

box with the testimonials was g purse
OF fifty dollars and curious old gold
cross, that had been treasured by the
mother of the lad who was saved. as
her one piece of finery. On it was
rudely engraved these words:
"'Given by the miners at the Notch to
tho man who risked his life for child
THAT was all. The poor fellow
went away and would have been
forgotten, only that the old miners
told the story sometimes to their
children"
The prisoner was looking out OF the
window. The conductor rustled
around as though ashamed of the in.
terest he had shown in the story-a
story which he had no doubt was pure
fiction. Only the brakeman gave way
to mis- sympathy, and asked whether
the man had ever been found.
"Not that I know Of" replied the
detective.

'And you never herd tell what be-

1t you sh'd come acrost him some

an imagination which was trying to
assert itself.
"Oh! I'd try to even the thing up
somehow. suppose common de.
cency would demand that; I'd treat
him as we'll as knew how"
Look here" said the prisoner,
turning from tho window with an ap-
parent effort to change q CONVERSE

seemed to interest him-''look here,

The conductor almost Jumped out
OF his seat. "D--- If it amt the

about" he shouted.
A month later the detective was
undergoing q cross-exalninatlon by
the conductor and brakeman.
"Yes. he was bad lot-oh, yes, he

He Disturbed the Church.

The supreme court Of North Caro-.
lima, has rendered decision in q case
which perhaps has no parallel in legal
annals. A man in Robinson county
was indicted for disturbing religious
worship-a grave mBdemeanor. It
was stated that he was q member of
Methodist church. and that he sang
in such way as to disturb the entire
congregation, his voice being heard
after the voices of all the other sing
ers had ceased. The case went before
the superior court, and the trial was
very interesting. All these facts were
brought out. A witness, asked to
give description of the defendants
singing, requested permission to imi-
tate it, and so perfectly did he re-
produce the voice and manner of the
defendant as to produce bursts of
laughter which, irresistible and pro.
longed, convulsed alike the specta-
tors, the lawyers, the jury and the
judge. It was in evidence that the dis.
turbance in. the church caused by the
singing was decided and serious, it's
effect being to make one part of the
congregation laugh and to make the
other half very angry, the frivolous
and irreligious enjoying it as fun,
while tho devout and serious were in.
dignant. It was further shown that
the congregation had been so greatly
disturbed by it that the preacher had
positively declined to give out" any
hymns, and that the presiding elder
of the district had refused to conduct
services in the church at all.
The defendant did not object to this
evidence. He was put upon the stand
in his own behalf. the law of the state
allowing the defendants in any sort of
of case to thus testify. He said he
was conscientious singer, and that
though he knew his voice was not mu-
steal, his conscience reproved him if he
did not sing every time church song
was raised. %
The judge nevertheless charged the
jury that it was q disturbance of re-
lieious services in the meaning of the
act. and the defendant was convicted.
He took an appeal to the supreme
court, which rendered the opinion that
O. conscientious" singer causing dis.
turbance, though he d1sturbs others,
such disturbance is not an indictable
offense. The action of the lower court
was reversed and the defendant retires
the victor in the singular legal contest.
