Mr.. Murphy Had Plenty Left Over.


In certain church in Ireland 4 young
priest was detailed to preach. This oc-
casion was his first appearance and he
took for his text 1.-The Feeding of the
Multitude lie said And they fed ten
people with 10000 loaves Of bread and
10000 tishcs.' An old lrishman said:
"That's no miracle; bcgorra | could do
thatmyself," which the priest overheard.
The next Sunday the priest announced
the same text, but he had it right this
time. He said: "And they fed 10000
people on ten loaves of bread and ten
fishes" He waited a second or two and
then leaned well over the pulpit and said:
"And could you do that, Mr.. Murphy
Mr.. Murphy replied: And sure, your
reverence, l could.
"And how could you do it, Mr.. Muir
phy?' said the priest.
"And sure, your reverence, could DO
it with what was left over from last Sun
day" ."-Philadelphia Press.

As funny y thing as eyer occurred ina
court happened 1T Napoleon, o., in 1899,
before Judge Potter and Il jury. y case
was on trial, and an outsider seated lilni-
self on one Of the punchrons at the far
end of the panel of jurors, there being
no other available seat When the de
fcnt!auts counsel arose to address the
jury he scanned the face of each very
closely, and naturally his gaze was di-
rectcd to the furlheat man from him,
who didn't happen To be Il juror at all
Glarin@ ut him he began:
,.Gcntlemcn of the jury, | want 10
know what this man lrefcrrlng 70 the
plaintiff in the case has come into court
iors What is his business? What right
has he here: What is he seeking for:
Again repeat, gentlemen Of the jury,
why is he herc!'
The countrynian imagined that the
question had direct reference to himself,
and when the lawyer paused to give due
weight and emphasis TO the question, he
Jumped to his feet and howled:
"What am here for, you cross eyed
cock of the walk? What am l seeking
for in this here court: III tell you i'll
short order, you weazen faced old son OF
Il gun. I've been here three days await
in fer my fees, and nary red kin git.
Pay me my witness fees, sir. and I'll git
out of hero immegiately."
This unexpected oration brought down
the house, and the lawyer never finished
his able argument.-ScwY York Press

GOOD JOKE.


How IL Pony Mare Succeeded in Capturing
Various Premiums.
One of our subscribers at Westtield,
Mass. sends us the following amusing
story, which he vouches for 1.-Two of
our citizens were the posscssors of, the
one !. bay mare by American Star, about
1873. stou, and blocky in build, and SO
much of trotter that the late Hiram
Woodruff told the owner that he had
never seen the horse that could beat her
down Harlem lane with two men to
wagon. The other sorrel pony mare,
scant II hands, as vicious and wicked as
ever grew, but still nearly match in
speed for the first named. There being
an agricultural fair in an adjoining vii
lage with its free-for-all, purse S25, di-
vidcd. our friends concluded that they
might as well capture the ducats. Ac-
cordingly on the race day they hitched
up, drove to the village and put up at
the Delmonico's of the town. Watching
their horses being cared for, a remark
by u bucclic resident gave them cue
which was followed to a favorable con-
cl,son. Wall, mister, your mare hasa a
darned fine colt, by gosh said he.
After cogitating and wondering if it
would work, our worthless concluded to
try, knowing that there wero no penalties
attached. So when the grand marshal
of the day, rcsplendent with blue ribbon,
sash, belt and baton, mounted on his
Rosinante, made his appearance, and in
stentoran tones announced all having
mares with foals by their side come out
to be judged putting on bold face the
two friends led out tho dam, years old,
with the foal, at least 10, and presented
them for inspection. After a critical ex-
animation by the judges, one of whom
tried to look in the filly's mouth but was
met with an ugly strike from the near
fore foot, she was let alone, with the re-
mark, \ guess she will make {, spunky
jade. They were then passed by to look
at other contestants The examination
finished, they were decorated with the
blue ribbon, and received the muniticent
premium Of three dollars but what was
| the astonishment OF the assembled crowd
when later in the afternoon they saw the
matron and foal in the lists of the free
for-all. in which they We're first and sec
ond in one, two, three order. Receiving
their premiums with sober visagcs they
were soon on the road home, and when
well out of sight and hearing indulged
in an audible smile which made tho
woods reyerberate. Reaching home the
boys were invited to cigars and 'sich. SO
long as the premiums lasted, and tho
Judges were toasted and roasted. THE

JAMES D. FISH,
How lie Passed His Life While Serving
the St;tte as Il Convict.

How lie Passed His Life Willie Serving
the State as II Convict.
James D. Fish once more walks beneath the
blue sky and breathes the May uir-a free
man. Gen. Grant is dead and his bankrupt
son in retirement, and Ferdinand Ward has
five more weary years in Sing Sing before
him; but James D. Fish is free. No doubt
freedom is as sweet to him as any other nlun,
yet he must feel cast down at the great
chatges since his enforced retirement, for he
now comes into the world as not Of it. For
tune and friends are gone, his health is ruined
aud his beloved "Salie Reber' is deatl-her
fate even more melancholy than his own. lii
April, 1855, Mr.. Fish was convicted in tha
federal court Of ,nislpplying the funds of tho
Marine National bank OF New York-he had
loaned them to Ferdinand Ward without
proper sccurity-in juno he was sentenced to
ten years imprisonment at Auburn NJ Y;
in Jaii;,ary last President Cleveland COM
muted this to five years and six months, and
by good conduct the prisoner further reduced
it SO it terminated on the 18th of May. No
more need be said Of his olense, rs the facts
are fresh in the public mind.
s..ja.ncs ID. Fish has been the best prisoner
we ever had in this institution'-s is the
testimony of ali tho officials at the Auburn
pententilry "A model Fish, no doubt, but
that was because his pond was small, retort
some of those who do not admire tho presi-
dents action; "it remains to be seen what he
will do when lie gets in the swim again."
And already the statement is published as if
by authority that some of the old sentlcnan's n's
money was ''ssltcd away" for his son Irving
who wasn't Of age when the catastrophe oc-
CURED and has shown no great business
Ability since, already figures in q deal as tho
owner Of at least S:!5O, 600 worth of real cs-
tate And it further appears, since the old
gentleman acquaintances have had a good
look at him, that lie is not at all the t'physi-
ca! wrecls' the president was led to consider
him, In fact he enjoys quite as good health
us most men of his age.

Germans, Roman Catholics, students and Lib
erals, and talked as if he would kill every
Nihilist and send all their families and SYM
pathizers to Siberia.
He was rather precocious youth, q thor
ough scholar, and took position under gov
ernment ut tho early age Of CO. In 1866 he was
appointed minister Of instruction and general
attorney of tho Holy Synod, and at once re-
vcrscd the whole tendency of tho schools,
compelling the universities to devote their
labor to classical studies, and maintaining
that tho modern system OF education made
tho students skeptics and consequently re-
bellious In this movement ho was not s'as-
tanned, and therefore resigned. Ills first
movement as minister Of tho interior was an
attack on the privileges OF the Zenstvos, or
village comnlunes, and his next an attempt
to subject the entire Greek element of tho
empire to the national church. His proposal
to compel the Outstanding Of all the Polish
schools excited such bitter opposition that
even the Conservatives opposed him. At one
time he established a complete system of spies
in all the Russian schools, and ordered teach
ers and professors to report privately on the
opinions and political associations of students
In 1885 there was such furor against him
that he offered his resignation, but the czar
refused to accept it. He maintained his des-
potic system to the last, and died the most
UNI opular man in Russia
A "historical peasant" died u short while
ago in small Russian village at the age OF
O8 In tho disastrous campaign OF lsl2 he
drove Napoleon in a sledge all the way from
Moscow to the German frontier. 10 tho day
of his death he Ind carefully preserved few
