Standing hv The Soldier.

Circuit Judge McCallum, Of Iowa, began
Lis career at the bar CharacteriSticaIly. His
first case was before justice of marked NOR
atty who was extremely harsh with Grimm
uls. The weakness Of the old Puritan was
his generation for Veterans of the war, all %
whom he esteemed as uurewarded heroes.
McCalum had fought four years His client
was thief ''The only thing can do for
YOU" said McCallum, after having gained
tha mans confidence, "is 20 implOre the mercy
of the court When you 90 on the stand tell
the whole truth"
The man had stolen cow, killed 1t, sold
the hide, and taken the carcass home 70 his
family, which was really suffering for the
necessaries Of life. The prosecution, with
long line Of witnesses. had made out perfect
case, and the brow of the Justice was draped
in ominOus frowns when the prisoner was
called The latter did as directed by his at
torney, concealing nothing-from the almost
starving condition of his wife and family TO
the dressing of the stolen beef.
"Now, your honor" said McCallum, "the
defense has no witnesses. My client is
guilty. He has hidden nothing from this
court 1t is the first time he ever transgressed
the laws. He was inspired TO do wrong by
that instinct which we even admire in brutes.H
Then, turning to the prisoner, if the fact
had nearly escaped him, McCallUm said: "By
the way, you were a soldier in ne late war,
were you not"
Eyes, sir"
weren't you at Gettysburg9o
ayes, sir"
$50 was l. And you were in other historic
battles, fighting for your country, while your
wife and family suffered from want at
homer
Eyes, sir"
The prosecution at this point saw the way
the case was drifting ana attempted to ridi-
Guile the "old soldier Defense" as the prosecut-
ing attorney named it.
The effect on the old il sticc was to arous
all his loyalty and Indignation. Enough of
this" said he, bringing his nand down on the
desk in front Of him with laundering thud.
"No soldier, no man who has shed his best
blood for his country, not even if he be
criminal, can be reviled in my presence. The
prisoner is discharged And, sir, when you
are suffering for the necessaries of life again
come 70 me"
The joke was too good to keep. McCallum
told the Justice one day that the old soldier
was an ex-C Confederate, but never again did
McCallum practice in that court.-ChicaSO

He Thought It Was AN Optical DeIusiOn.
The story of the twins Is the latest. =
father of twins was naturally very proud of
them, and when they came to presentable
age he insisted ON a friend calling to see them
The friend agreed and named the day. The
twins were dressed in their best, put side 10y
side IN an arm chair and awaited inspection.
Now, the friend had been lunchinE rather
heavily and drinking rather freely, and con
sequently his vision was not perfect as it
ought TO have been. However, he went to
admire the twins, and was ushered into the
room where they were There" exclaimed
the proud father, did you ever see anything
To match that's" The visitor, conscious of the
possibility of an optical delusion, quietly re-
piled; Quite right; it's a splendid child. -

MISUNDERSTANDING.

There is one question of vital i'm
portance to be met by the American
people and by congress, and that is,
Shall we abdicate as commercial
nation and allow the European nations
TO obtain the commerce which naturally
belongs to us9 ...
q England and France are. .outstripping
US in obtaining South American trade.
Why2 Simply because they encourage
the building and running of steam
ships to these our neighbors. All
these countries would naturally trade
with us. But we can not compete in
the carrying trade with nations whose
governments pay liberal subsidies to
steamship lines when we pay nothing
or next to nothing. ..: s,.... ..
The present annual subsidies paid
hv Great Britain to her six steamship
lines to the West Indies, Central and
South America, amount to $685., 200.
The French government pays a
bounty of 80 cents per ton per mile tor
every mile of steam navigation by
vessels built in it's ship yards and sail
ing under its flag, and this bounty is
increased fifteen per cent. when the
designs of the vessels are submitted to
and approved by the navy department
Besides this general bounty the
French government pays to the steam
ship line to China, Japan and India
$l,714,6O4; $72s, 900 annually to the
South American lines, 100000 annu-
ally to the Mexican and West India
line, $3.50, 900 annually to the Mediter-
ranean lines, and $4,000 annually to
the New York line.
What has the United States done
for the American lines running to
Central and South America2 1t has
paid for carrying the United States
mails to all these countries IN nine
years the total sum of $146,09S.11,
being yearly average of sle,2ss.l9,
for fostering her trade with her great
sister continent. What the result is
can be seen by the following tables,
which show the exports from our
country, Great Britain, and France, to
these countries for twenty years, from
1862 to 1882:
