Cooa 8royvnIur storv.

The following story is told regarding
the ready comprehension which some
people profess for everything that
Browning has written. One lady was
talking about the matter with another.
profound BrowninGite. II am sure. !"
said the latter, ''tiat I understood with
ont difficulty every thing that Browning
wrote" 'And upon the first reading?"
asked the other. Certainly" The
first lady took down her Browning"
turned gravcly to one of the most mys-
tical of the poems and began to read it
wrong end first-that is to say, she read
the last line first, and then the next to
the last line, and kept on till she had
read the whole, finishing in an animated
delivery with the first line of the poem.
She lent to the rhyme, more or less du-
bious. of the poet. the beauty, quite nm
deniable, of her voice; and the new dis
ciple OF Browning drank it all in with
eager ears. ''ThereT the reader said,
when she had finished, edo you mean
to say that you understood that?" per

lines, which march from their introduce

clusion like the cleaning advance of

Scared OF BY the Libel Suit.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
The difficulties which newspapers
have to contend against in
their treatment of subjects which
come under their notice are illustrat-
ed in the case of the hotel which
tumbled to pieces in Hartford the
other day. The Couraut now points
to the VIGOROUSLY bad workmanship
in the building as furnishing ample
occasion for apprehension concerning
it without the assistance of a boiler
explosion, and yet, had the public
been previously warned by the news
papers of the dangerous character OF
the building, libel suits would have
been the result, and quite likely the
fact that the structure hadn't col
lapsed would have been held to be
proof that it was thoroughly con-
structed. So the people were left
unaware of the fact that the hotel
was death trap until it's dead vic
Tins demonstrated it. Some inno-
cent people, doubtless, hold that the
newspapers ought to have exposed
the danger, but the chances are that
these good people are unacquainted
with the laws relating to newspaper
libel.

AN AID TO MEMORY.

"While you're in the city, Ned,
Won't you buy some 50 thrcad."
Phyllis asks, and while linger,
Taking that which is the due
OF him who wins the bread for two.
She ties some thread around my finger,
Adding, 'dear, lest you forget,
I'll teach you memory's alphabet.
"F'irst, the thread suggests a string;
Any string may be a measure;
Well say yard-the very thing
Remembering that will be pleasure;
A grassy yard whats in a nameD
Will make you think of lawn with case.
And lawn and muslin are the same.
And muslin's cotton, If you please.
Now cotton wound, as opine,
Is nothing, after all but thread,
And 50 is your age and mine
I'm sure you can't forget it, Ned"
! answer her as best may,
But now within the shop linger;
What in the dickens did she say
About the string around my finger.

What's the Matter With Them?

Detroit Otlch.) Sunday SUM- Feb. 5.
The last drawing of the Louisiana
State Lottery made two Detroit citizens
happy. J. II. Dickson, u telcgrapher,
and George L. Davis, each drew $l5, 900,
on one-twentieth tickets of No. $3.50.
which drew the capital prize of $500, 900.
MIR. Dickson about six months ago drew
$500 on dollar ticket. He has not de-
cided what to do with the fortune he
has just had given him.
Mr.. Davis was seen by Sun reporter
Wednesday. He received $4,000 by
the Southern Express Co. He is fifty
two years of age, and is transfer fore
man of the Wabash road. This was his
third dollar investment in the lottery,
and he feels much eluted over his sue
cess. He has not decided what he will
do with the money. Three relatives
died during the past year leaving him
an aggregate of $14, 900. so that now he
is rich. He considers the lottery COM
pany the squarest corporation on earth
and will invest again. The news of his
good luck has created furore among
railroad men generally, and those who
have been loudest in pronouncing the
lottery swindle, take it all back and
shy they are going to play it, hoping
they will meet Mr.. Davis good fortune.

A DeaEMute Lawyer.

Joseph q. Parkinson of Chicago, and
Robert ii. Parkinson of Cincinnati,
have been admitted to practice in the
United States courts by Judge Brown.
They are twin brothers, and the first
named is deaf and mute. Tn spite of the
absence of these two important senses,
Mr.. Parkinson is a successful lawyer
paying particular attention to patent
cases. His strong point is the preparing
of briefs, which lie makes remarkably
clear and comprehensive, although he at
times carries on ross-examinations with
the aid of pen and paper. He was Mt one
time chief examiner of patents Mt Wash
ington, resigning IN 1879 to practice law.
The Parkinson brothers have spent the
past week in this city, appearing in
patent case argued before Judge Brown.

Mr.. Karl Robrer, q. s. N. 1t can be
readily and safely transported by any
conveyance, and is eminently conven-
lent to handle or store. It can be
sawed, turned, cut and bored easily and
safely; and the turnings, cuttings and

pressed gun cotton, which need form

Important Land Case Decision.

4 very important land case decision, entitled J. T. and J. c. Kirby vs. ]. V. Lewis ct al., was decided recently in the United States Court at Little Rock. The suit was originally brought in lss4 iu the State court and afterward removed to the Federal court. The plaintiff was first represented by Hon. ". F. Henderson, afterward appointed a United States Judge in New Mexico. where he now re- sides, and Hon. J. NJ. Smithee. ex-Com- missioner of State Lands in this State, now q resident of Colorado. The suit was to settle the title of land claimed by the plaintiff on d deed made ont fur it by the State Land Commissioner as swamp land. Two hundred acres. embracing large portion of the city of Texarkana, were included in the land contended for. The improve ments on the lands in controversy ara re- ported to be worth nearly 500 000. Judge Caldwell dismissed the claim for ali the lands except one portion, that being ona forty-acre tract. The defendants alleged th.t their claim to the land was based on patent from the United States, issued on an entry dated December 6. 1856. The Court holds that the patent issued by tina United States is valid and conveys the title. It also further holds that the Com missioner of State Lands had no power to make the deed to the plaintiff, and that his deed is void, and also that the prop erty never was swamp land.
