Speaking of the sometimes queer
verdicts rendered by a jury, recalls a
case was engaged in once at Louis
lana, Mo. Two men, employer and
employe, had quarreled about a mat
ter of wages. Shortly after and while
the employer was engaged in CONVEX
sation with two gentlemen, the en-
p!oye stole mp behind his employer
and plunged n knife into his neck. al.
most cutting it halfin two. it vas
marvel how the man survived the
ugly thrust. He would not have
done so, perhaps, but for the fact
that one of the men with whom he
was conversing was physician. The
physician ut once took the uniortun-
ate man in charge, stopped the flow
of blood and got him properly band
aged.
Six months later he was entirely re-
covered, and the trial oihis assailant
began. All the material facts were
proven conclusively. There did rot
seem to be any palliating circnm-
stances whatever. The Jury retired,
and shortly returned with a verdict
authorizing fine OF 500. Curious
to know by what process OF reason
ing they reached so unusual n YER
diet, accosted one of the jurors.
"Well, said he, ''ii we sent him tothe

to support his family, and five sent

What is the MoOa.

But when we look at the moon with
our telescopes, do we see any traces
Of water? There are, no doubt. many
large districts which Mt first glance
seem like oceans, and were indeed
termed seas" by the old astrono-
mers, a name which they stillabsurd-
~ retain. Closer inspection shows
that the so called lunar seas are des-
arts, often marked over with small
eraters and withrocks. The telescope
reveals no seas and no oceans,
no lakes and no rivers. Nor is tho
grandeur of the moons scenery ever
impaired bv clouds over her surface.
Whenever the moon is above the hor-
lion and Terrestrial clouds are out OF
the way, we can sec the features OF
her surface with distinctness. There
are no clouds in the moon; there are
not even the mist or the vapors
which invariably arise wherever wa
ter is present. And therefore astron-
omers have been Led to the conclu.
sion that our satellites sterile and

The President and the Preacher.

An oflice-seeker who chances also
to be clergyman, learning of the
Presidents contemplated long stay
mt Deer Park, managed after much
maneuvering to secure an invitation
To preach in the littlecountry church
Mr.. Harrison is wont to attend. His
undoubtcd scheme was to improve
the President with his pulpit ability
and thus secure an open and easy
road to the pressing OF his personal
claim for an Office.
His plan worked well, and last Sun
day morning he had assembled the
pulpit TO begin the service, and the
President WIS on his way to the lit
tie church, when by some accident
the Inter heard that the anxious
dominic he was TO hear was hot af-
ter federal appointment. There
upon, without more ado, and prob,
ably with sedate twinkle in his eye,
the distinguished worshiper told his
driver to drive fast TO another little
church in an adjacent village.
And the otfioe-seeking clergyman
preached at the Presidents pew, but
ii held no President.

Grants wellington Query.

The story told by Sir William
Fraser about a question which Gen.
Grant addressed at Apsley house to
the second Duke of Wellington is
susceptible, it seems, of satisfactory
explanation. IL is incredible that,
using the words in their ordinary
sense, ss one northumberland them
in England, Gen. Grant should have
said, during pauye in the middle of
dinner. "My lord, have heard that
your father was n military man.
Was that the case?" This has been
spoken OF, naturally enough, as ex.
hibiting "the American impudence
or ignorance" of Gen. Grant. The
New York Herald London edition)
points out that there was neither
impudence nor ignorance in Gen.
Grants question. What Gen. Grant
meant to ask was whether the iron
duke had received n special technical
training in military school, like
Lee, Sherman, Stonewall Jackson
andhimselfat West Point, orwhether
like Marlborough. Frederick and
other famed commanders, he had
learnt the art OF war only in tn,

things are being prepared, but do not let
it boil. Salt it to the taste, and pour it
over the toast, with the addiSion of a
dessert spoonful of cream, if this is al
lowed by the physician. 1t should be in
a soup plate or in a small dish. Put a
cover over it, set in the oven for a fe~
