He Sold Peanuts.

Not long ago charter for a corpora
ton was asked from the Connecticut
Legislature. 1t was bitterly opposed by
certain interests, and good many wit
nesses were called to appear before the
committee. A good old gentleman, of
unassuming dress and manner, took the
witness stand and gave his name and re-
sidence. Though he lives in Connecti-
cut he does business in New York. But
that did not appear at first. His testi-
mony annoyed the lawyer representing
the opposing interest, SO he went at him
with buster.
"What is your business?" he asked.
81 sell peanuts" said the old man.
With look of disdain and smile of
triumph the lawyer set out to enforce
upon the committee the fact that the OPP
posing side relied upon the testimony of
a peanut seller.
peanuts, eh2 Well, sir, how many
pints of peanuts do you sell a day2 1
want to show the committee your bust
ness capacity" said the lawyer.
The old gentleman muttered as though
performing an operation in mental arith-
metic, and then said:
''In the season I sell from q million to
a million and half pints."
"Where?" beloved the opposing law
yea.
"At my Office in the Cotton Exchange,
in New York. 1 sell from a million to
million and half dollars worth every
year"
The opposing lawyer was squelched,
and he said that he never before realized
SO fully the difference between one pint
and a million, OF that so humble thing
as peanut sold by the pint could be
raised to the dignity of a colossal bust
ness,-N, Y. Sun.

SOME PRECIOUS STONES.
Mrs. Ayers and Mrs. Bigelow's Cor
geOuS Jewels.


/ From the st. Louis GlODe.
I met at Secretary Whitney's Mr.. and
| Mrs. John Blgelow and Mrs. Aver, the
rich widow of DR.. Aver. Then going
/ on to Mrs. Endicott's encountered them
again there, and the accidental saluta
ton was repeated shortly after in the
| pleasant parlors of Mrs. Don Dickin-
! son.
''This means that you must lunch with
us, D." said the Bigelows merrily, and the
lunch came off next day at the Airing
/ ton. The veteran editor is feet 3, and
| seems to grow longer every year. Mrs.
/ BigelOw is a cordial and agreeable lady,
democratic and cosmopolitan, who has
kept her eyes open ever since she was
! born, and probably has wider acqualnt-
ance than any other woman on this con-
| tinent. Her husband is Democrat
this year; but her grandfather was the
first Marylander to emancipate his slaves.
Their eldest son, John, is an officer of
Tenth Cavalry, and they are visiting
him here; their next son, Poultney, is
editor of Outing; and their daughter,
Grace, has published translations from
the French and German.
Mrs. Aver must have once been hand
some. She is still comely woman, her
fair complexion complimented by great
mass of yellow hair. She dresses quietly
and is modest and even reticent in her
conversation and bearing. [ ventured,
after lunch, to challenge her to show us
the wonderful Jewels she was reputed to
possess, and promised not to say any
more about them than could help.
She objected, and said she could not
lN,o -, 81 &c
thing. appealed to her aesthetic sense,
saying:
"Here, you, woman, worth $25, OOO,-
600, they say, go and buy some of the
rarest Jewels in the world and lock them
up where nobody can see them. Is that
fair?''
She yielded after while, and brought
them forth from her trunk in the other
room-$150, 600 worth of pearls, dia-
monds and rubies. The former predom-
inated-ffteen tremendous necklaces
with perfect pearls the whole length as
large as filberts. There were several
other pieces, the most important of
which was huge necklace of rubies set
in diamonds. Several of the rubies were
as big as mans thumb nail, and the
central one, formerly the talisman of a
raiah, was uncut, and measured an inch
long, three-fourths of an inch wide, and
a half inch thick. 1t was a heavy mug
get of fire. Several OF the diamonds
were as large as the So, 900 stones in the
Queens tiara, as L remember seeing it
in the Tower, and the two largest, one
pear-shaped, nearly an inch long.
''These," said Mrs. Aver. ''my hus-
band selected, partly because of their
history, as well as because of their linn
Did brilliancy. They were worn 200 |
Years ago as buttons by that avaricious
Drelate, Cardinal Mazarin, successor of |
had eleven such buttons,
We are told. [ scarcely ever wear any of |
hese largest iewels-it would seem os-
entatious. But love to sit and look
It them, and hold them in my hands,
nd enjoy them as would fine paint
ng. And it is pleasant to have my
riends enjoy the beautiful things, too

On Duty.

An applicant for admission to the
Government service some time since was
appointed Waterman in the Pension
Office until something better could be
done for him. A friend who wished to
see him found him at his post of duty
guarding the east door. GIVE done
police duty in my day." he remarked, as
he cast Disguised glance at the door,
''but never was set to watch a door
like that before. Just look at that door.
It's locked tight, and I don't know
where in the mischief the key is; and as
If that wasn't enough, they've nailed a
piece of plank clear across it, so that it
couldn't be bulged with battering RAM
It's my business to stay here from till
4 o'clock every day to see that nobody
gets through that door without a pass,
and with the help of Providence hope
to do my duty"
