He and Cromwell We're tie Only
Two Men Who Ever Did Such
Thing.
In November, 1884, the Const;>
tuition christened its new building
with the first news OF Cleveland's
election. The legislature, then in
session, filled the Constitution
building at night, eagerly and en-
Enthusiastically watching the reulrns.
When at last one morning the re,
suit was definitely known, a Joyous
party went from the Constitution
building to the capitol, where oc-
Cured the memorable scene when
Mr. Grady adjourned the legisla>
ture.
A great crowd had collected
about the Constitution office and
when at II o'clock, a. m. it was
known beyond a doubt that
Cleveland was elected, a brass
tand was brought up, and Mr..
Grady and Capt. Howell headed
the procession. The march through
town was hilarious and exultant.
The crowd carried huge can of
red paint which was lavishly APP
Piled to sidewalks and prominent
objects along the line Of march.
When the procession passed up
Marietta street its enthusiasm. led
it into the capitol where the legis-
lature was in session. Leading
the head of the procession to the
hall of the house of representa-
tives, Mr.. Grady passed by the
doorkeeper into the main aisle.
Col. Lucius Lamar, Of Pulaski, a
man of imposing presence was in
the chair. His long hqit fell over
his shoulders ond his bearing was
magnificent, Advancing down
the aisle Mr.. Grady paused and,
IN the stately formula of the door
keeper, cried, with the most i'm
posing and dramatic manner;
Mr.. Speaker, GA message
from the American people,"
Catching the spirit of the inva.
sion, the dignified speaker said sol,
emily Let it be received"
With that Mr.. Grady pressed
up to the speakers chair, and
quickly Wrestling the gavel from
his hand, cried in imposing and
exulting tones:
'In the name of God and the
American people, | declare his
house adjourned to celebrate the
election of Grover Cleveland, the
first democratic president in
twenty-four years"
At this there was Il whirlwind
of applause, and the house broke
up with the widest enthusiasm.
Mr.. Grady often said that he
and Oliver Cromwell were the
only two men who ever adjourned
a legislative body in that style.

CATCHING TURTLES.
rne South Sea Islanders way of Cap
turing Them While Asleep.

rne South Sea Islanders way of Cap
turing Them While Asleep.
There are several curious ways Of
catching turtles. When lying asleep on
the water in the sun canoe will silent
and tumble him aboard ''before he
knows where he is" He is turned on
his back, for otherwise he would climb
out and swamp the boat in short order.
A native will also swim up quietly be-
hind the sleeping beast, spring on the
back of his shell, and hold on in such a
way that he can not dive. Having no
idea of escaping in any other way, he
can be steered whithersoever his captOr
chooses. Considerable agility and nerve
are necessary in accomplishing this feat,
for if the man should miss his leap and
fall back into the water he is liable to
be dangerously cut by the animals flip
pers. An in-expert person or one who
wished to have some fun with the turtle
might grasp him by the tail. If so,
like the Irishman who devised the plan
of catching the bull by the horns and
rubbing his nose in the dirt, he will do
well to have his laugh first. The turtle
has his idea of a joke, too, which is in
stantly to shut his tail close up to his
body, whereby the mans hand is held
fast as in wise, and then dive with
him to the bottom of the sea.
Most of the turtles, however, are
captured on the beaches, whittier the
females land to lay their eggs, and the
males accompany them out of gallantry
or to keep guoard. The eggs are laid in
a perpendicular cavity about a yard
deep, at the bottom of great circular
excavation, which the female scrapes by
whirling round like fly with it's wings
sfnged, and Violently plying it's fiippers.
There are usually over hundred eggs
in a litter. When surprised, the turtle
offers no resistance, but makes off at a
pace surprisingly rapid in so clumsy an
| animal, and which good runner can
hardly keep up with in the sand. To
turn turtle weighing four hundred
pounds on it's back and thus capture it,
while it is scuttling through deep sand,
requires more knack than strength. A
turtles progress on land is by series
of wriggling jerks from side to side, and
the fisher, taking advantage of the mo-
ment when it cants away from him,
overturns it with ease. The young are
Matched in a month, making their ap-
pearance when about the size of an
American silver dollar, and are prepared
to begin life on their own hook at once,
which they do by rushing for the sea as
rapidly as possibly. Many of them
never reach it, however, being caught
by birds if it be day and by land-crabs at
night.-Cor. n. Y. Times.

New Sphere for Woven,

While young women are looking over
the fields for lines of activity allowable
for them to follow for subsistence, it
probably does not occur to them that
membership in fire companies can come
in their range. A recent London paper
speaks of women in that city having
gone to Paris to give instructions to
French women as to service thew can
render at fires. 1t is not very fully in
dlcated what their assignments are in
connection with fires. They do not. of
course, help operate the machines or
WELD the axe, but it is said they have
saved many lives by entering buildings
where practicable and ENCOURAGING
frightened and timid females to use the
lire escapes. They are said to become
quite fearless in this work, and really
render valuable services. They are
women in good standing, and do not lose
in repute by their connection with the
fire department. Still, it is not likely
to be crowded vocation.-N. Y. Star.

The Upper Berth.

A Pullman sleeper conductor: Every
body who wants a berth in a sleeper
wants the lower berth. I have been in
the employ of the company for fourteen
years, and have never yet had an appli-
cation for an upper berth. Of course,
the 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 private than you are in lower
berth, and in case of accident you have
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 have never known
man to fall out of an upper berth. !
think if the company would make diff
ference of half dollar in favor of the
upper berth it would soon be in demand

never makes any difference In the

QUEER BRITISH JURIES.

They are About as Intelligent as the Aver
age American Article.
Two examples of the mode in which
juries sometimes decide may be added.
In one case, at the assizes in a Midland
town, girl was charged with the muir
der of her illegitimate child. The evil
dence clearly pointed to her guilt; but
the circumstances were painful, and to
the general relief of everybody in court
the jury declared her not guilty. Asked
privately how they came to deliver such
verdict, the foreman stated that he
had seen the black cap lying on the
judges bench and the sight was too
much for him; he hadn't the heart to
bring in verdict of guilty. 'And the
others!" ''Oh, WE'LL" said the foreman
ten of them were neighbors and Gus
toners of mine, and 1 easily per-
suaded them" 'What about the
eleventh man?" Well, he was a
farmer whom 1 didn't know; and 1
said to him, We'll, Mr.. Chumps, what
do you think about this case?' oh he
replied, L amt thought nowt about it at
all, sir''' Yet the trial had lasted for
the whole of day.
The other case is Welsh one-a trial
for murder. The prosecution had broken
down on point of law, and the Judge
directed the jury to find the man not
guilty. But all the same they delivered
verdict of guilty. His lordship, in a
voice that Numbered with wrath, ex-
planned that he, and not the jury, was
the judge of the law, and asked them
what they meant by defying his direc-
