'sThe account of the exploits Of prize
fighters as knights grant," said a well
known clergyman, who didn't want his
name mentioned lest he might be suspected
Of too great familiarity with such subjects,
reminded me Of story which Capt Ben
Fairchild, of the New York city police force,
used to vouch for twenty-five years ago. A
friend of the captains very proper sort of
person, whom we viii call Mr.. Good-had
conceived an intense horror Of prize fighters
in general, and of John Morrissey in particu-
lar. Mr.. Good, one day while travelling up
the Erie road, dropped into a conversation
with a gentlemanly stranger of herculean
frame who occupied the seat next to him.
When the train arrived at Turner'S the depot
was seen to be in the complete possession of
mob Of roughs and stalwart lumbermen, who
had taken possession OF the lunch room and
terrorized everybody in the place. Mr.. Good
was hungry, and he and his unknown COM
panion left the train to get something to eat.
Mr. Good pushed his way through the crowd,
and ordered an oyster stew from the waiter.
The proprietor demurred, on the ground that
the roughs would not permit any one else to
be served but their own party.
'Oh, give my friend an oyster Stew
spoke up the unknown Hercules; I guess
there'll be no trouble
"Tbe stew was no sooner served than
horny hand reach over Mr.. Goods shoulder
and tipped his stew upon the floor.
"'Suppose you give me an oyster Stew
said the Hercules quietly, with defiant
glance at the burly six footer who had spoiled
Mr.. Goods lunch. Another stew was served,
and it was as promptly tipped over by the
same hand, while the mob Of roughs laughed
uproariously. But the Hercules, like an
avenging thunderbolt, had leaped from his
stool, and the laugh died away as he went
right through that crowd, striking out right
and left until he had cut broad swath clear
to the doorway. When the cyclone was over
five roughs had to be picked up out Of the re-
mains Of those milk stews on the floor, and
ali the rest had escaped. Then the Hercules
smoothed down his cuffs, resumed his stood,
and remarked as quietly as ever, Just let
me have another stew, please, and fresh
one for my friend
''DIr. Good looked at his companion in awe
as he ejaculated: Excuse me, sir, but who
are you, anyhow The Hercules reached
into his vest pocket and produced a card
bearing the name John Morrissey, New
York The stews were eaten in peace, and
Mr.. Good afterward said to Capt. Fairchild,
as he described the encounter: We'll, they
say good many hard things about John
Morrissey, but he's a mighty good man to
travel with "-Philadelphia Press.

The finger nails Of Americans are likely to
be dry and to break easily. Vaseline rubbed
on the nails after washing the hands will do
a world of good to dry nails. Manicures
first battle the hand long time in hot water,
then with scissors and knives clean and cut
the nails, remove the superfluous skin about
the onyx, then polish the nails with buckskin
and fine powder, washing the hand again in
hot water with soap. After drying, the
nails are polished with fine brush and are
finally rubbed with a rosy unguent to give
them q shell pink.-Good Housekeeping.

TruthfCluess Of Children.

1t is in youth that the spirit of truthfulness
may best be cultivated. Few realize how
strong are the impressions made upon the
heart of childhood by the examples which are
given to it. Let no one imagine that to teach
a child not to tell lie Is sufficient to make
him really truthful. He must be imbued
with the love Of positive truth; and that can
be infused only by those who are themselves
inspired by it.-Once a Week.

by being occupied in that way. In pur-
suance OF the arrangement by which the
Committee on Labor is to have another
day at later date. Interest in the discus
sion promises to increase as- the week,
which will end the debate, drawsto close.
Owing to the fact that several OF the lead
ing spirits on both sides Of the House are
announced to speak.
THE PENSION APPROPRIATION BILL,
the Cincinnati exposition bill, the pleuro-
pneumonia bill and the bill for the admis-
sion OF Washington Territory, are meas
ares which, more than any Others, bids
fair to occupy the time OF the senate's
open session during the week, and they are
likely, if reached at all, to come up in the
order named. The Senate has for to.mor-
row the task OF deciding in what way and
to what extent, If any at all, it will admit
the public to knowledge OF it's proceed
ings upon the fishery treaty. The treaty
itself may come up on Tuesday, and will
probably consume the greater part OF the
week. Though, if it decided to sit with
open doors, it is not likely to be taken up
until the latter part of the week.
