HE SUED HIMSELF.

Some years ago, when Judge G..
H. Hicks was not as prosperous as
he has been in late years, he owed
a little bill of $25 to a well-known
firm, and one of the members came
to see him about it. The Judge,
then plain colonel lately returned
from the war, frankly confessed that
he was 'busted" and asked for an
extension Of time.
"Can't do it," said the gentleman !;
"if you don't pay it We'll have to
sue you."
"How can pay when I haven't
got the money!" asked the Colonel.
"All l want is little time"
"Well, we'll have to bring suit, F"
said the gentleman as he started off.
"Hold on" said the Colonel, as a
bright idea struck him. IF you
must sue me why not give me the
case? You will have to employ
some lawyer"
"That's So" said the gentleman !;
call right, bring the suit"
Colonel Hicks brought the suit,
confessed judgment, sent in his bill
for $50 attorneys fees, collected it,
then settled the judgment. From
that time on he had all the firms
business.-Minneapolis Tribune.

Ready With an Answer.

Benjamin +. Butler, in the early
days of his practice at the bar, was
required to give some notice in a
suit in which he was engaged. The
judge asked him to name the news
paper in which he desired the ad-
vertisement inserted. Butler was at
the time an ardent northern demo-
crat, and The Lowell Advertiser, a
journal entirely ignored by most of
the community, was the only organ
of his party in the judicial district.
SIN what paper?" asked the clerk
contemptuously, when told to in

Take the Upper Berth.

APullman sleeper conductor says
everybody who wants a berth in q
sleeper wants the lower berth. I
have been in the employ Of the COM
pany for fourteen years, and l have
never yet had an application for an
upper berth. Of course an upper
berth is not so easy of access as the
lower, but if you don't mind climb
ing to the upper berth you will at
once admit, after the night is over,
that it is the more comfortable of
the two. The ventilation is better
and you are not so close to the
rumbling noise. You are more pri-
vate than you are in lower berth,
and in case Of accident you have q
chance of coming out on top. In
hot weather the upper berth is
cooler than the lower. The lower
berth, as you know is made up from
the cushioned seats, which are of
warm material. l have never known
a man to fall out of an upper berth.
l think if the company would make
a differene of half-dollar in favor
Of the upper berth it would soon be
in demand. But believe the Pull
man Company never makes any
difference in the charges.

very white and tender, and shrunk
away if touched. l put it on the
bob sled, took it home, and the
school teacher who was boarding
there and me concluded it was the
reminiscence of a slave who had
run away in war time, and being
almost caught, had squeezed up
into the tree; that the hole had
been stopped up, and the negro, not
being able to get out, the growing
wood had pinched him and the sap
of the tree had supplied him with
life until | found him.
AS he could not grow sideways,
he was forced to grow some way,
and when he had been compressed
out of all shape to accommodate
the space inside, the extension be-
gan. The big bunch of woolly hair
indicated his Africanness and no
mistake. The peculiar food and
darkness bleached him. Thought l

WRETCHED RICH MEN.

A woman writes to The Press
from Long Branch: One Of the
saddest sights in the world next to
real poverty or distress is the
sight of man who had acquired
boundless wealth and lost his hap
piness and his capacity to enjoy
what money secures. Such cases
are by no means rare. They are
very common. / saw a man to-day
whose income is believed to be
about $1,000 a week, whose whole
day was spoiled because a cabman
overcharged him 81 for short ride.
Of course the millionaire knew that
he could not possibly spend his in
come, but nevertheless the idea of
losing a dollar, of being defrauded
out of it, of getting nothing in re-
turn for it, was almost agony to
him. Many a man in making a
great fortune completely loses the
power of enjoying it. This is one
of the worlds compensations. The
happiness of sound sleep and a
good digestion is often enjoyed by
a man with an empty purse, while
the millionaire epicure has neither
painless digestion by day or healthy
rest by night.
l saw on the ocean drive this af-
ternoon one of Philadelphia's rich
est men. He is one of those wretch
ed old millionaires who have spent
the best years Of their life getting
control of a bank, or a brewery, or
a boom Of some sort. He is sitting
back in corner Of his swell Ian
dau now wondering what he did it
for. He has fine old face, a heavy
gray mustache, bushy eyebrows and
gold-rimmed eyeglasses. He is
dressed carefully, and his face is
absolutely empty of interest in any
thing. He can't even work any
more. Because he has so much
money all motive is gone. His
wife? Oh, well, he loved his wife
long ago and he bows to her now
when he meets her in the hallway
of his house, and they have never
had a quarrel. Children? Yes,
several of them. They used to be
pretty and fond of him when they
were babies. Then boarding school,
college, balls, parties and-checks,
checks. Now he hardly knows any
thing about them. All sympathy
is lost between them. Living un-
der the same roof, their hearts are
always wide apart. In fact, he
doubts whether he has a heart at

DUEL WITH POTATOES.
How q Preacher Down South Punished
q Tough Who Challenged Him.

Bill Bowman, the preacher, de-
nounced certain tough from the
pulpit and the next day received a
challenge to meet Bully Brown in
open combat to settle the matter
and remove the stains from the bull
ly's honor, says the Atlanta Con-
stitution. Brother Bowman was
not backward in the least particu-
lar, and, having the choice Of weap-
ons, he selected them at once.
Through his second he notified
Bully Brown that he would meet
him at a specified time and place
and that half bushel of Irish po-
tatoes, selected the size of a mans
fist, should be the weapons. These
were to be picked up one at a time
and the duelists were to throw them
at each other at a distance of fif-
teen PAGES, until the potatoes were
exhausted or the duelists we're sat
isfed. This selection infuriated
Brown. He considered that it was
heaping insult on indignity and he
fairly raved over it. But he was
compelled to accept, as Brother
Bowman was firm in his position.
Of course such a unique affair at
tracted a great crowd, and on the
day appointed there was an i'm
mense gathering at the place ap-
pointed for the fight. Bowman was
an expert hand at throwing, and
when the principals took their pla-
ces and the word was given Brown
threw at Bowman with all his might
and missed. Bowman had reserved
his fire, and as Brown stopped down
to pick up q potato Bowman let
drive and the missile went straight
to the mark. It raised a knot on
Brown as large as a potato. Then
the fight became hotter. Brown
was wild with anger and his pota-
toes were thrown at random. Bow
man was cool and self-possessed
and he made every shot tell. For
five or ten minutes the battle ragged,
but about the the time the sixth
potatoe raised it's lump on Browns
body the latter cried enough. He
was badly beaten. He was bruised
and bunged up to such an extent
that he had to be carried to his bed
and physician was summoned to
attend his wounds. When he got
up again he was the worst cowed
man in Grayson county, and after
that he was never known to offer a
challenge again.

A Tree Entomed Darkey.

Francis Dent, of Allen, Allegheny
county, N. Y, has written a letter
to the st. Louis Exposition mana
gers in which he says:
Last spring / felled a hollow butt
ed beech tree, and splitting the butt
rail cut I found the center filled,
from about two feet above the
ground, with something that looked
like flesh, and which I parted from
the inside of the hollow with some
difficulty, as it appeared to be sort
of grown to the wood. The thing
was somewhat longer than a man,
but it had no form-just straight
piece of flesh that fitted the irregu-
larities of the trees interior.
But looking closer l found what
seemed like a kind of face, and then
traced out what remained Of nose,
ears, arms and legs. There was a
little oriice where the mouth ought
to be that the thing was breathing
out of just q little: The flesh was

man face, or anything alive or dead,
he models with as much ease as any
of the dozens of Partisan sculptors
who still retain the faculty of sight.
From 1855 to 1875 Vidal received
more medals than any other exhib-
itor of works in the Paris art exhi-
bitions. Many of his works, made
in the solitude of his perpetual
midnight, are now on the shelves
at the great exposition, where the
blind wonder contends in friendly
rivalry with his less unfortunate
brother artists. He never COM
plains, is always genial and festive
when among his friends, who always
speak of and to him as though he
could see, and we'll they may do 80,
for he is one of the best art critics
in all Paris.-St. Louis Republican.

An Appeal to Pharaoh.

An anonymous author has writ
ten a book on the negro question in
the South, entitled "An Appeal to
Pharaoh" The Atlanta Constitu-
ton reviews it from advance sheets,
and says of it: "lt is written by q
deep student Of the problem. It
will create a profound sensation
and lead to wide discussion" The
solution of the problem, the author
of the book thinks, is this: Take
out of the country yearly to Liberia
(on the west coast of Africa) $4,000
young negro families-say 100000
persons in all-and allow them 5000
a head to buy them a home with
and support them the first year.
This would cost the nation but
$50, 100000 year, and would prac.
tically stop the growth of the negro
race in the South. The author gives
letters from negro colonization So
cieties, who state that if they had
the money with which to move them
they would take 100000 negroes
at once out of the country.

Made His Fortune on a Single Cargo.

Many a fortune was made in the
West India trade in olden times,
but few in the way told of a Port
land captain. Toward the close Of
the last century this captain sailed
from Portland with a cargo of lum-
Der for St. Domingo. Arriving at
his destination, he found Toussaint,
the negro leader, in possession of
the island, and was afraid to land.
AS he was about to put to sea again,
his ship was boarded by a squad Of
negro troops under command of
the renowned Christophe, and urged
to land, as lumber was much needed
on the island. Noticing that the
ships papers bearing the autograph
of the President ofthe United States,
as was the custom in those days,
made a great impression on Chris
tophe, the captain concluded to try
their effect On Toussaint. Accord
ingly he landed, and furnished with
an escort by Christophe, marched
to the camp of their leader. This
parsonage, upon being told that a
messenger with a letter from the
President Of the United States de-
sired an interview from him, readily
accorded it, and the result of the
interview was that the lumber was
exchanged for an equal quantity
of coffee, sugar and other goods Of
the captains selection, exchang-
ing bulk for bulk. No ship ever
sailed carrying SO rich cargo OBJ
tanned under such favorable terms.
The fortune Of the captain was
made. He retired from the sea and
settled down to prosperous life

Frederick Douglass White Wife.

Mr. Douglass is without a peer as
the foremast man of his race in this
country. He is up in the seventies,
but is wonderfully we'll preserved.
You may see plenty of men twenty
years his junior who seem older
than he. He is in excellent health,
hale and vigorous, with to all ap-
pearances, years of active life before
him. There can be no doubt of his
peculiar fitness for the official post
to which he has been appointed.
Laying down my pen at this point
for moment, took it up with an
idea of saying that Mr.. Douglass
made a mistake when he married
his white wife, and that she made
another, but I guess, on the whole,
l will not. As they say in Congress,
II withdraw the remark" So long
as Mr.. and Mrs. Douglass are sat-
istied-and l am told that in the
domestic relations, peace flows as
a river-I don't suppose it is any,
body's business. It was long time
before the colored people here-who
look upon Mr.. Douglass as the
children of Israel did upon Moses
-forgave him for not choosing
wife, when he wanted a second, from
among the daughters of his own
people. On two occasions, within
a few weeks after the marriage /
heard colored orators at public
meetings go out of their way to
score Mr.. Douglass for his connu-
bal eccentricity. They cried aloud
and spared not. 1t will be remem-
bered that he married a copyist
employed in his office when he was
Recorder of Deeds for the District
of Columbia. Nobody, not even
Mr.. Douglass own children, had
the slightest suspicion of the COM
ing event, and all Washington held
up it's hands in surprise.-Wash-
ington special to Cleveland Leader.

Barrels Made Of Cotton.

An Atlanta, Ga, dispatch says a
wonderful revolution in flour-barrel
making is promised by patent
which has been granted for the
making of barrels out of cotton
duck instead of wood. The new
material is impervious to water and
resists fire for a long time. 1t
weighs to the barrel about fifteen
pounds less than the wood, and can
be manufactured 10 per cent cheap
er. The cotton duck barrels can
be rolled up into small space and
returned to the mill for frequent
use. The barrels can thus be re-
turned as solid goods, and thus save
space. 1t is said the -four mer-
chants of Atlanta have given it a
fair trial and pronounce it success.
