Ben Hardin's Big Dog 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 de-
vice of describing the conversations
which had taken place among the
dogs of the town about his clients
adversary and the opposing witness.
This speech occupied greater part of
the day.
A farmers wife, living in the country,
had sent her negro boy to town on an
errand, with orders to return as
as soon as it was completed. The boy
however, did not appear again until
nightfall, and his mistress, out of all
patience, asked her husband to take
him out for a whipping.
The master, intending to comply,
thought he would nevertheless, hear
what the negro had to say in self de-
Tense.
IN tell you how it was, massa,"
said the boy. 81 went to town, and
was starting home, and / heard Mr..
Hardin speakin. put my head into
the courthouse door, just to hear what
he was talking about. He was telling
what some dogs had said, and got to
listening, and the first thing l knew it
was night"
''Well, George" said his master, ''if
that was what was keeping you, shall
have to let you off this time. l was
caught by that same dog speech my
self.'-Youth's Companion.

Explanation BY a Confectioner.

Two well-dressed young ladies en-
tered candy store yesterday, says
the Minneapolis Tribune, and while
waiting to have 10 cents worth of
yellow jack" wrapped up, picked
from the various trays on the counter
at least quarter of a pound of ex-
pensive fripperies. The young woman
in charge was asked if this sort of
thing were allowed. go yes" she re-
piled. Pretty nearly every customer
makes it rule to grab few bon-bons
outside of their regular purchase. The
men never do so, but the women help
themselves, without as much as say
ing by your leave We count upon
losses in this way at least per cent
of all the candy we manufacture.
The loss, however, falls upon our GUS
toners. who have to pay per cent
more for what they buy. No.we could
not afford to object. / never did, save
on one occasion, when a very pre-
possessing young woman attempted to
dump the contents of a small tray
klied with marrons glaces into her
reticule while l was doing up some
mint drops for her at the other end of
the store. Some of the confectioners
cover up the sugar plums on their
counters with glass, but we prefer to
stand the expense rather than drive
away custom in that manner. People
do not care to buy candy at shop
where they are not permitted to steal. %

After a Quarrel.

II met young Mrs. W. in New
York last week" said the invalid doc
tor to the writer. "You know she
used to live in Buffalo, and was a pa
tent of mine. l found her suffering
from nervousness and a bad attack of
what you would call the blues She
said she had just lost $4,000, and
would never recover from the disap-
pointment, and would never again
have faith in her old friend and at
torney, Mr. R. Now, there never
was more honorable man than Mr..
R, and knowing that he practi-
cally had full charge of her finances,
was curious to find out how she lost
the money. I've been laughing over
it ever since l learned the facts. 1t
seems that Mrs. VS. grandfather
died three years ago, and in his will
left lot of bonds of western rail
road to Mrs. W. She asked Mr..
R what to do with them, and, after
consulting with two or three New
York bankers, he advised her to sell
them Immediately. The bonds were
considered poor security, with pros
pect of never becoming any better.
She sold the bonds. Last week she
heard that they were bought by wo-
man in Albany, who had since made
$50, 900 by an unexpected rise in their
value. When Mrs. W--heard it she
went to Mr.. R and almost raised
the roof from his Office. She went
away weeping, and took to her bed
for two days. What medicine did l
prescribe? Why, L told her I had
seen Mr.. R and had heard of her
terrible loss. Then 1 asked: Mrs.
W, what if your grandfather had
not died? She thought minute, and
then said: We'll, if he hadn't died,
then that Albany woman would never
have gotten my $4,000. 1 wish dear
old grandpa was here now Next day
Mrs. W was as well as ever. /
heard she has bought very fine gold
watch as birthday present for Mr.
R. That's just the way woman
makes up after quarrel. No apol-
ogies when she's wrong, but great
demonstration of affection. "-Bufialo

FEATURES OF PERSIAN SERFDoM.-As
to other forms of service resembling
slavery which still exists in Persia, but
are gradually falling into ''innocuous
desuetude," there is serfdom of the peas
antry; but they began years ago to do
away with this in practice, although not
exactly formulating such disuse in the
expressive language used by the pres
ident of the United States. The chief
feature of Persian serfdom is the obi
cation of the peasant to belong to the vii
lage or estate where he was born. The
villages either form part of the royal
demesnes, or they are given as appen.
dages to the wives of the shah, his sons,
and other grandees to furnish them with
revenues, or they are owned in fee simple
by n en of wealth and are then transfer
rable by sale or otherwise. The royal
lands are never sold. The peasantry 60
with the estate, and are assigned lands to
cultivate on shares with the proprietor
They may not change their residence
without his permission, nor travel at will
about the country. Such is the law of
Persia. But the law has been gradually
falling into allegiance, and it will not be
many years before it will be dead letter.

There are seven states, with federal
congress composed of two houses, feder-
al council chosen by the senate from their

Voting is supposed to be compulsory,
males becoming voters at Is years, and
eligible to Office at 81. State governors
are selected by the council from their own

Illustrations of Yankee Thrift.

A financial man of the Listeners &C
quaintance tells him some interesting
stories of venerable Boston capital
list, whose name, if published, would
be "well known and wildly recog-
nized" the interviewers of anony-
nous persons always say-an6 which,
for that very reason, will not be given
here. The capitalist originated in a
Massachusetts country district, where
ideas of thrift are instilled ino peo-
pies minds in their ultimate New En-
gland minuteness, and in this mans
case the seeds of instruction in econ
omy fell upon friendly ground. To
what extent he improved upon his ed
ucation in that direction one story
will illustrate. He once visited dem
fist, who filed down a tooth that had
been giving him trouble. Not long
afterwards another tooth began to give
him pain ia somewhat the same way,
whereupon the capitalist went to a
hardware store, bought a cheap file,
took it home, and had his son-in-law
file long and patiently upon the tooth.
But there is another story that illus
trates perhaps even more strikingly
the old gentleman's thrift. He used to
drive his own carriage, a two-horse
top buggy. One day, just before
Thanksgiving, he drove down to
Faneuil Hall Market to bargain for
and get his own turkey for the frugal
but traditional feast at his house. As
be drove up boy started out as if to
offer to hold his team. At the same
moment he saw his cashier arriving
on foot.
"Well, Smith," said the capitalist to
the cashier, "where are you goingP"
"Going to the market TO get tur-
key for Thanksgiving" said the cash
Ter.
Eyes? Well, FL tell you what We'll
do. | know 'em in here, and if you'll
hold my horses, think 1 can go in
and buy two turkeys so that they'll
come cheaper than if we bought sep
arately."
cali right" said the cashier. He
took up his station at the horses heads
while the old man went into the mar
ket. As he stood there, kicking his
feet against the curbstone to keep
them warm, horrible suspicion came
over him that his employer had no
idea OF buying two turkeys, but had
simply adopted the plan as a ruse to
get HIM to hold the horses and save
the five cents that would be expected
by small boy as the minimum COM
pensation for holding the horses. The
old man was gone for long time,
looking for a bargain. no doubt. After
a while he hove in sight through the
door and with hut a SlnOle turkey
done up in brown paper, under his
arm.
''No use, Smith" said he, II couldn't
make it 60. We can do just as well to
buy on our own account. Seeing that
was the case, 1 thought probably
you'd want to buy your turkey your
self"
He got into the carriage and drove
away, leaving the cashier the happy
consciousness that he had, at the sac
rifice of his time and comfort, saved a
millionaire five cents.-Bost0n Tran
script.

Darky Stories.
In these DAYS of schools and S

In these days of schools and school
masters for the colored people the
number of those s'who can tell their
right hand from their left will pre-
sumably rapidly diminish; but before
the "darky" of ante-bellum times
quite disappears among the shades of
things that are past, here is story of
'Elviry." Elviry fell sick, and her
"ole marster" went to inquire as to the
state of her health. The room where
she lay was in total darkness eight
and air are carefully excluded from a
B stood outside the door speaking
to the invalid. He asked, (which
eve is it, Elvira, that is swollenP"
The voice of Elvira replied through
the darkness, ''Marster, it's dat eye
over mex to de barn"
A similar case of late date came up
in one of the New Orleans city courts.
A ''colored LADY, charged one of her
own race with assault and battery
having been struck on the face with a
brick, and complaining loudly of her
suffering. The judge, seeing no marks
of the alleged severe blow, asked on
which side of her head she had been
struck. She answered, ''Jedge, she
hit me on de side dat a0as t0deS de
Woods."
A negro man went into Mr.. E-'s
office for the purpose of instituting a
divorce suit against his wife. Mr..
E. proceeded to question him as to
his grounds for complaint Noticing
that the mans voice failed him, Mr..
Booked up from his papers, and
saw that big tears were running down
over the cheeks of the applicant for
divorce
why" said the lawyer, "you seem
to care a great deal for your wife.
Did you love her?"
"i-ove her, sir? / jest analysed
her!"
This was more than professional
dignity could withstand, and Mr..
E-laughed until the negro, offended,
carried his case elsewhere.
Another instance of the misunder-
standing and misuse of "big words"
by the negroes happened in hotel in
Louisville. One day, when the hotel
was unusually crowded, the waiter
who served meals to our small party
uiu Hot appear Win his customary DOW
and smile of welcome. After some de-
lay he came up hurriedly with the apol-
ogetic words, "You mus excuse me,

On one of the dining-room cars there
were pretty japanese paper napkins
folded within the table napkins. One
of the party asked the dignified old
colored waiter if these were intended
as souvenirs. "Oh no, ma'am," he
explained, with stately condescension
