old families like the Bells and the Catrons.
These things all prove that where there is
hberality men flock from every land. Old
Holland, wrested from the sea BY the hardi-
hood of its fugitive people, became the
refuge of the Jews from all over Europe,
and the French and German Protestants,
etc, and it held its head high among the
nations, which were bulldozed by their noisy
heads,
met John Wise, son of Henry A. Wise,
few nights ago, a square-headed, reddish
tinted man, with an extraordinary
loquacity which is somewhat artistic. He
can speak to a crowd and talk to you in pri-
vate In most interesting way. The faculty,
however, OF fine speech is accepted at the
risk of recognition of the solid traits
which, after all, make the man. do not
mean to say that most agreeable talker
can not also be solid man, but the listener,
ON the whole, stands higher in this world
than the talker. There is no record left of
Shakespeare's conversations, and he must
have been a mighty listener to imbibe so
much learning when he came TO write.
People wondered where he got his learning.
suspect that he merely listened well. Said
John Wise:
You put my father in a book and got
his complexion wrong"
Said |: IF his complexion was like yours
nobody could mistake it even in the night"
Down there on the eastern shore of Vir-
ginia," said Mr.. Wise, "they tell story
about father, which is new to you, expect.
They say that he went to an auction when
an old family was about to dispose of it's
effects perforce. There vase sugar-bowl
which the remaining relative desired
to keep as an, Heirloom. 1t had
done SO many things to her that
she did not want to give it away. Some
curmudgeon. there, however, continued to
bid against this old woman. She was soon
outbid and had to let the sugar-bowl slide.
When it was sold the auctioneer said: This
bowl is full of sugar, and, of course, that
does not go with the vessel Yes replied
the man of charity, the vessel contains the
contents | challenge the law on that sub
ject l want the whole hog or none'"
81 leave that to Hon. Henry A. Wise,
said the auctioneer. Does the sugas go
with the sugar-bowlP
EYES, replied Wise, standing up, lean
and red and speckled, it does go with the
sugar-bowl. say that as lawyer and
charge $40 for my opinion. If it is not paid
shall levy on the sugar bowl and the sugar
HE got the sugar-bowl," said Johnny
Wise, according to the story, and turned
it over to the old woman"

MRS. PARSONS sQUELcaED.

Speak at Chicago.

The Police will Not Allow Her to
Speak at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-Handbills were
widely distributed to-day announcing that
Mrs. Lucy Parsons, the wife of the exc
cuted anarchist would lecture in Waverly
hall tonight. One of the bills was handed
to Chief of Police Hubbard, who sent
Lieut.. Laughlin to Mr.. Laurie, the pro-
prietor of the hall, with instructions TO
prevent meeting in his place. Mr.. Laurie
was not satisfied with the message and
called on the chief. 81 shall send an officer
to you tonight" said the chief to Mr..
Laurie, "who will demand the key Of the
hall from you He will then station police
man at the door, who will forbid admission
to the hall. You are perfectly helpless in
the matter, and any responsibility there is
will be on the police"
AMBIGoUsLY woRDED.
The wording on the subject of the lecture
was triie ambiguous. in that it might in
clude any or all phases Of anarchy and
socialism.
Said Chief Harding: "Mrs. Parsons can
advertise herself all she pieases. We will
not help her to do it. We have private in
formation that she intended TO make
a violent anarchistic harangue Then
we would have been compelled
TO arrest her, and you can be sure that IL
would have been magnifled In every way by
the anarchists in the argument OF their IN
junction suit tomorrow. The attempted
lecture was simply for effect. IL is well
known that Mrs. Parsons can't refrain from
talking of anarchy IL she gets a chance, and
we will not Experiment with her further.
She simply can't speak in Chicago"

WHITE INDIVIDUALITY.
Transfer from Portions Of the South
ern States to the North.
Gath in Cincinnati Enquirer.


Gath in Cincinnati Enquirer.
New YORK, Dec. 23.-Little by little we
see the transfer of white individuality from
portions of the southern states to the north.
These emigres from the south never return.
Here is Inman, the genius Of railway and
telegraph matters In the southern states,
who came to New York clerk out Of the
confederate army, / think. He is smart
fellow. though now and then you hear the
opinion expressed that he would make a
deal with his grandmother and pick her dry.
New York is good enough for him. Here is
r. T. Wilson, who during the war was some
thing Of contractor for beef and supplies
to the confederate army. He came from
East Tennessee. Since Wilson came here,
large, mild man, chiefly notable for work
ing himself almost to death In his banking
house, and for his excessive tenderness to
his Young children, he has married these
youngsters into the Aston, the Goelet, and
finally int the Herbert family OF England.
His daughters brother-in-law is the Earl Of
Pembroke, who inhabits the celebrated
Wilton house, at the town Of Wilton, where
they make the carpets, in England. Wilton
house is full of elegant paintings and mar
bles and bears the reco d OF having enter
tanned Spenser when he wrote Arcadia"
and Shakespeare when ne came down to play
before King James IL, a visitor there with
the .Shakespearean troupe. Strange is this
world when we find an old contractor for
mule meat to the Confederate army and
hustler for railroad bonds in New York and
cotton factor for everywhere, linking himself
wich family which runs back to the pirat-
ical ages about and before Queen Elizabeth.
Where is the equality of this worldl You
do not hear Of r. I. Wilson inhabiting
a sunny grove somewhere In the bowers Of
his youth. Fifth avenue Is good enough for
him.

V. X. Stevenson, whose father, Of the same
