Hereditary Traits.
rom the Nel0 YORK. Herald.

Counsel was defending man indicted for
arson in causing his own building to be de-
stroyed to defraud the insurer. The alleged
accomplish, young man, had testified to the
setting on fire of the building at the instgation
of his employer, the defendant The witness
was corroborated by his father who testified
that when the arrest was made the defendant
said to hi n: I'VE might both have got off if
Schuyler (the SOM had not peached and told the
whole story" This, with some suspicious cir
cumstances was the evidence for the prosecu-
tion, in addition to the proof of over-insurance.
In summing up for the defense counsel got
along pretty well in his attack upon the accom-
plice by showing his unworthy motive and ac-
ton, and had very fair justification for claim
ing to the jury that he was not worthy of
belief; but he found it difficult to approach the
subject of the testimony of the father because
there was little in the evidence upon which an
attack upon his testimony could be based
Counsel struggled along with the remainder of
the topics upon which he wished to speak, hest
tating to approach the subject of the fathers
testimony, until luckily story entered his
head He thereupon proceeded in this wise:
Gentlemen. l have now discussed this case
and shown you the barrenneSs of the evidence
upon which the learned district attorney seeks
to send this defendant to state prison have
omitted no topic except the alleged cOrrobora-
ton of the testimony of this accompice by his
father. All have TO say in regard to that is TO
tell you this story and let you apply the moral:
"a little boy was often whipped by his father
for lying. He usually took 1t as a matter Of
course, but on one occasion the punishment
seemed to him to excite reflection. After it
was over, he stood before his father in a
thoughtful way, which attracted his fathers
attention.
"'My son. said the father, what are you
thinking about?'
Father said the son, when you was q
little boy did you use to tell LESS
No. my son; when was little boy did
not tell les.'
Father returned the son, when mother
was a little girl did she use TO tell liesY
." No, my son, replied the father, when yo1r
mother was a little girl she did not tell lies But
why do youask me these quesUionsf
well, said the little fellow, drawing long
sigh, it is the most mysterious thing in the
world to me that father who never told lies
when he was a little boy and a mother who
never told lies when she was q little girl should
have boy that tells as many lies as l do"
The defendant was acquitted.

Mules Went Up.

From the NelD York Sun

FROM Tue INSU 4 OFk sun.
One spring day, about mile outside of De-
catur, Ala, a hive of bees belonging to Col.
Clark went on a swarm matter which should
happen TO every well regulated hive about once
in so Often just at that time Uncle Reuben
Slathers, an old coored man, was coming into
town with his mule and a Jag of wood, The
road was pretty heavy and the mule very lazy,
and to keep the flies off the beast Uncle Reuben
had stuck several branches into the harness.
Coming along toward the Clark place the Old
man was saying:
Now yo' good-fur-scat mewl, yo' lift dem
hoofs an walk along you'll h'ar from me !

About this time the bees got move on them
from the hive, and by accident or design the
queen settled down on one of the branches,
waving over Uncle Reubens mule The rest
followed suit, and in two minutes the animal
was loaded. She had come to a halt of her own
accord. and the old man sat with his mouth
open and gaZed in establishment. Not for long.
however. Some of the bees skirmishing around
on the outside concluded to feel of the old mule
and see what she was made of, and as about
fifty singers entered her feelings at once she
reared up. uttered a terrific snort and started
off at break-neck speed. Uncle Jerry was
dunn ped into the road at the first jump, and as
he scrambled up and saw the mule on Ia dead
wheels shedding spokes at every turn, he raised
his hands and shouted:

One result Of the examination into the
wrecKing of the three New York banks is
that the public has been made acquainted
with one of the methods of financiering
sharks, known as "kitingn checks. 1t is
worked by the operator who deposits in a
bank in which he has an account a check
drawn by himself on bank where he has
none. Then he obtains a certified check for
the amount of his cash balance plus the ficti-
tious check. The check is not presented
for payment for day or NO, and the man
who drew it will in the meantime make it
good. MIR. Conrad n. Jordan stated in his
testimony before Commissioner Shields
that in his opinion some New York bankers
countenanced this scheme. The general
opinion Of the New York press is that the
scheme is a criminally dishonest one. a
opinion which must be shared By intelligent
business men everywhere. New York
"huanciering' "a not the least OF modern
ulVstarfes.

Senator Evarts has genius for getting
at the surplus. He has introduced a bill
authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to
purchase 5000 copies of the book of refer
ence. known as the National Roster of the
Grand Army of the Republic, - for which the
bill appropriates $4,000. The books are in
tended for senators and representatives TO
distribute, one copy in each county library
in the United States. This is a novel idea Of
the functions of government. Why not so

The New York Press says that "Stone-
cutter Laird, Of Syracuse, scored success as
tariff talker before the ways and means
committee. He talked them into raising
the duty on finished granite from 20 to 80
per cent. This will double the value of
granite quarries to the laboring men," 1t is
not likely that the raising of the duty will
benefit the laboring men one cent. 1t will,
however, double the value of the quarries
to the capitalists who operate them, and in
crease the price of granite.
