TWO WITTY AND APT REPLIES

How Pettigrew, the Famous Southern
Lawyer, Got Even with Judge.
have heard. says the Washington cor
respondent ofthe Philadelphia Record, two
good stories of Petligrew Of South Caro-
lima, the great lawyer and Uniouist. lie
was practicing at one time before Judge
who was a Presbyterian of the straightest
sect and very Woodworking officer. 1t
came to be Maunday ay-Thursday and Pet
tgrew and the Episcopalians and Roman
Catholics thought they would like an adj
journment of court over Good Friday.
Pettigrew was selected to make the mo-
ton. Your Honor" he said II de-
sire to move that the court adjourn
over tomorrow" "Why should the court
adjourn over tomorrow when the docket
is so crowded. asked the Judge. "Be-
cause" said Pettigrew, "to.morrow is
Good Friday and some of us would like
to go to church, "No," said the Judge,
decidedly, after moments thought, "the
court will sit tomorrow as usual" VERY
well your Honor replied Pettigrew,
adding as he turned away, ~ know there
is precedent for Pontius Plate held
court on the first Good Friday" The
same judge was great stickler for eti-
quette, and when one hot July day Pet
tigrew came into the courtroom in u
black coat and yellow nankeen trousers
the Judge took him sternly to task, ask
ing him whether he did not know that
the rules of that court required its coun-
selors to appear in "black coat and
trousers" "Well your Honor" said
Pethgrew, innocently, 81 submit that l
am within the rule, for have on q black
coat and trousers" "But they're not
black trousers" insisted the Judge
"black coat and trousers means that both
shall be black" "Then,h said Pettigrew,
81 call your Honors attention TO the fact
that the sheriff of this court is in con-
tempt of its rules, for they require him to
attend upon its sessions in cooked hat
and sword, and while his hat seems to be
cooked his sword certainly is not" The
Judge said no more about the trousers.

EpIToR Cmuc; There never was time

they can at the present time, the require

dustry and utilize opportunities.
In many old and partly-dcserted New

which there are good mill sites with CON
stant water supply TO more than perform
the labor of astrong man at saving wood,
turning the grindstOne, driving Il
threshngmachine and doing other work

On these farms arc plenty ofapple trees,
sugar trees, abundance of berry bushes,
strawberry vines, the purest of spring
water trout streams and ponds well
stocked with fish, and Il fair supply OF
timber. Most of these farms are fenced
with stones, and there Is plenty of rock
for building material. Waterwhcel
shaftings, spindle.saws and fixtures, lying
idle about shops and factories, can be had
for nominal sums to use in fitting up
these mills. The farms referred to can be
purchased for three dollars, or less, pei
acre, some of which have fair building.
upon them, and nearly all could be made
into delightful homes.
These farms and mills would constitute
practical schools for old and young, while
many who should be running them are
lying idle about cities, rapidly preparing
TO become Anarchists, or are out on
strikes, ragged and hungry.

The Cnrnct Problem.


EDiToE CmT1c: find in recent num-
ber of your paper the following problem,
submitted by "E. d. H."
"Therc is hall 2SxlG feet, which it is
desired to carpet diagonally. How long
shall that piece of carpet be which
reaches from corner to corner so that it
will exactly fit without cutting or turn
ing the corners of the goods2 OF course,
there will be small space left in each
corner uncarpeted, and herein lies the
difficulty of the problem. The carpcting
is two (2) feet wide. The use OF trigo-
nometry not allowable in the solution"
This is readily solved without recourse
To trgonometry, by what is known to
carpenters and masons as the old be
rule" When they wish 10 ascertain
whether corner of room or building
is a right angle they measure from the
angular point eight feet on one line and
six feet on the other, Then il ten-foot
measure will exactly connect the two
points the angle Is n right angle. They
refer to it under the name of 'six, eight
and ten" But three, four and five will
do just as we'll, as these are the smallest
whole numbers by which the sides of q
rightangled triangle can be expressed
Hence the sides of all right-angled
triangles are related to each other in pro-
portion as 3, and 8. Therefore, having
the hypOtenuse Of the unCarpeted corner
rlght-angled triangle, given at 2 feet, or
"a inches, the other sides are readily OBJ
tained by proportion, and i'm this case are
11.4 and 10.2 inches respectively. Then
drop perpendicular from the corner on
the 2i-inch base line and similar right
angled triangle is formed, whose sides are
obtained by proportion as before. In
this latter case the perpendicular of each
corner triangle is l1.52 inches. But the
diagonal OF the given parallelogram or
tract The sum of the perpendiculars of
the two corner uncarpeted triangles--
230l incbes-and we have 623. Is inches,
or 51,93 feet, the length Of the diagonal
piece of carpet. Y. Y. u.

The Tribune presents fac smile in min
iature of the huge bundle filled with Demo-
cratic campaign documents, which passed
fhrough the mails without any payment for
postage, prinia facie under Congressman
Co.'s frank, which is now in the editors pos
session Mr.. Cox declares positively that
the signature in imitation of his, and accept
ell as his at the Post Office, is a forgery
That the public may be able to Judge of the
skill and daring manifested by this forger in
the employ of the Democratic committee,
the Tribune has had an eIectrotype made
showing in fac smile the signature actually
written by Mr.. Cox, appended to his letter
discriminating the committee
The package was mailed, as appears on its
face, at Station E of the New York Post
Office, which is in Seventh avenue, between
Twenty-eighth and Twenty ninth streets.
The Democratic National Committees head
quarters are at 10 West Twenty ninth street,
and Station E. is the branch nearest to the
! headquarters, and is, naturally, the commit
tees mailing depot. Surprising Mr.. Cox's
/ frank to be genuine, the inference would be
| that he was franking the committees wrap

up and the address added by the mailing
clerks.
The extent" says the Tribune, to which
the government has suffered by these frauds
Is enormous. Fifty thousand dollars would
be low estimate of the legitimate expense
sustained by campaign committee for the
mailing of documents, Nj. Cox's testimony,
together with the known fact that carloads
of bundles similar to the one which we hold
as evidence have gone through the mails
under Congressmen's franks, leaves no es-
cape from the conclusion that the forger

Nondescript Curiosities.

The Massachusetts Mugwumps are a
very peculiar body of men. They are as
conceited rs they are absurd. They are
as mulish ~ they are blind. Their utter
obliyiousuess to notorious facts can be
accounted for only upon the presumption
that they have predetermined to make no
confession of past mistakes, and to stub
bornly insist that they were right in vot-
ing for Cleveland in 1884, aud therefore
must be right in voting for him at the
approaching election. Too proud and
self-willed to acknowledge their error,
they assert demonstrated falsehoods with
special vehemenCe. Like the ostrich
which buries its head in the sand, they
think by tightly closing their eyes to
what all candid persons see plainly, they
conceal their uakedness aud maintain
their consistency. But of all the Bay
State Mugwumps, those who claim resi-
dence in the city of Newton seem to excel
In the ridiculous. A little club of these
singular men have Just issued an address
giving their reasons fer supporting Cleve-
land. Here are some of them:
He has shown reasonable independence of
party in making nominations for public of
fee and in recommending measures and
principles of public policy.
He has honestly enforced the specific civil
service law, and in some cases has extended
its principles to offices beyond its scope.
He has shown himself a safe and consery-
alive President on all questions affecting the
material interests of the country.
We believe that his views ON the subject
of the tariff and the currency are wiser and
safer than those represented by his oppo-
nent.
We believe that the Republican party is
dishonest in its position on those two ques-
tions aud that il has taken its stand merely
because it hopes thereby to carry the elec-
ton by the aid of pampered monopolies and
deceived voters,
There, that will do. OF course, these
men are not speaking in a Pickwickian
sense. They do not seem to understand
that this language is complete satire
on the history of the Administration of
Grover Cleveland. Indeed. with such
men facts are of no account, They
formed certain opinions four wears ago
about Cleveland and what he ought to
do. They adhere to them pertinaciously
against overwhelming testimony Just as
they do to their Free Trade distractions
In utter defiance of the country's exper-
fence expressed In solid columns of sta
tistical figures. They insist that Cleve-
land has honestly enforced the civil SER
vice law, though the official documents
show his Administration has made nearly
$4,000 Democratic appointments, and has
placed in office more criminals, a larger
number of notorious scoundrels, than
were ever before appointed to places of
trust in ten times the number of wears.
These Newton Mugwumps manifestly
never saw or heard of that remarkable
list Of Cleveland's officials, filling columns
of the N. Y. Tribune, an exposure that
has never been refuted. These blind lead
ers of the blind ignore the fact that their
favorite President has retained Garland In
his Cabinet years after the telephone
scandal was made known to the country.
