From the New York Graphic.
young man stepped up to the counter of
one of our furnishing stores the other evening
and called for pair of socks. BE sure that
You get them large enough" said he, '.for
when they are too small they always wear
through at the toes" .'Yes, SIR" replied the
polite clerk, I'll get them right; will you
please hold out your hand?" Il said socks.

what surprised. Il know what you said" con-
tinued the clerk. but want to see your hand -
The customer held out his hand and doubled
up his fist as directed. The clerk took one of
the socks from the box, wrapped the foot
around the fist and guaranteed perfect fit. Il
am just as sure it will fit you as though had
measured your foot" said the clerk las the
distance around the fist is always the length OF
the foot. \ salesman who knows his business
always looks at a mans hands, and in that way

Release of the Carondolet.

NOTHING TO SHOW THAT THE LIBELED STEAMER
WAS BOUND ON HOSTILE EXPEDITION.
Judge Brown reached decision in the Ca
rondolet case in New York yesterday. The
Judge, after all the testimony was in, intimated
that no argument was necessary. as no proofs
had been presented to show that the libeled
steamer was bound on a hostile expedition
against any friendly power, or that it was the
intention of her owners to violate the neutrality
laws He therefore ordered that the vessel be
released at once. She will sail to-day with her
tons of powder. thousands of shells. stacks of
ammunition. cannon, and small-arms. all of
which, as no one doubts will be used in making
widows and orphans of the women and children
of hopeless Hayti.
The vessel. however, will go to Samano di-
rect. This is a Dominican port. and if the mu-
nitions OF war on the Carondoet do get to
Hayti it will be due to the connivance of the
Dominican government, for whom, so Mr. l..
Julia, their representative in New York, swears,
the arms were bought.
