English Law.

When Aaron Burr was in England, the
Spanish minister asked for his expatriation
or the ground that he had been guilty OF I'M
dertaking an expedition against the Spanish
American colonies. British authorities were
bound to take notice Of this demand. and to
give due consideration to the international
question involved by the course of the Span
iSh Ambassador The diplomatic relations Of
the three great powers, the United States,
Spain ana Great Britain, were to some extent
involved
Ar. Burr was summoned to appear. and

to which he owed allegiance-that he was en-
titled to protection by virtue Of his birth
under the British government long before the
independence Of America, and that Great
Britain could rot refuse to recognize the
right of any subject born within the realm
of Its colonies Many lawyers were consult

tion taken by Mr.. Burr was the correct one

one ON "Old Hutch.n

Whenever anything occurs over on the
board Of trade involving the name of B. P.
Hutchinson, faniliarly known as 'Old
Hutch" innumerable anecdotes of himself
and his dOings are raked up ont Of the misty
past and banded about for the sake of the
amusement they may create. One of the best
stories of Hutch relates to his presentation
of a carpet TO the Century club. 1t happened
a long while ago, but is still fresh in the
memory of all who know of It, Mr.. Hutch
inson, SO the story goes, was in the rooms of
the club very late one night and got into
quite a confidential chat with the colored
ianitor, who was the only other person pres
ent. At the conclusion of the chat the mill
ionaire speculator asked his humble friend
what he could do for him. The man scratched
bis head and considered awhile, and then re-
marked that if Mr. Hutchinson would buy
him carpet for the front room of his little
fat he would be extremely grateful
"Carpetr echoed the old gentleman,
''what'S the matter with this carpet! Here,
take it," and the philanthropic speculator
proceeded to tear up with his own hands the
somewhat shabby floor covering of the club.
The delighted darky, fearful, perhaps, of a
change in his benefactor's mind, sped avav

his residence on Michigan avenue Going
straightway to the dining room he proceeded
to rip up the costly carpet, dump it into the
waiting carriage, and drive back to the Cen
tury club, where he slillfully tackled it down
in place of the one he had given away Next
day the members passed many compliments
on their handsome new carpet. And to this
day some of them are in ignorance as to
whence It came. This, it must be borne in
mind, is only one of the many stories in cir
culation about Old Hutch" and is only
given for what it is worth. Chicago Tribune.

7ait for clear weather before leaving their

wait for clear weather before leaving their
docks
The greatest public inconvenience, how
ever, which is caused by this visitor from
London is found at and near the ferries. The
enormous boats that carry millions Of passen-
gers and thousands of teams across the Fl I'D
son and East rivers every month continue to
run, it is true, no matter what the weather
is, unless the ice absolutely blocks the way.
There have been very few occasions in the
last fifteen years when the service on some Of
the ferries has been entirely stopped by the
ice for some hours. but these occasions get
rarer and rarer as the climate grows milder
When such thing does happen the inconve-
nience is almost indescribable
1t is hardly less in a dense fog. The boats
are steered, not by the pilots eye, but by his
ear. He cannot see anything beyond the
PROV Of his vessel, and he has to grope his
way across from one slip to the other, guided
by the tolling of a bell at either end of his
route and by his own knowledge of the cur
rents. He dare not go at full speed-hardly
ST half speed-lest he run down some small
craft or come in collision with some ship an
chored in the stream Comparatively few
small craft venture out, SO this peril is less
ened, but it exists. OF course, running as
slowly as they have to, the boats cannot make
their usual number of trips, and as the
stream of humanity does not materially less
en- In volume, the ferry houses are speedily
choked up. Then begins the trouble.
To accommodate passenger traffic the gates
are closed against vehicles, and the great
decks Of the boats are crowded with people
on each trip. The foot passengers accom-
plish their journey with the loss, it may be,
of half an hour, or even of an hour or two,
but the trucks are held back for hours to-
gether. Nothing on wheels excepting the
mails the personal baggage Of passengers, or
1t may be carriage containing invalid,
can be taken on the boats, and the streets
around the ferry house are choked up with
wagons of all sorts. The patient farmer who
is going to market with his truck, or return
ing home, Is used to long waiting, and en-
dures the vexation with some philosophy, but
the city teamster, whose living often depends
upon his celebrity in handling his loads and
delivering has goods, is by no means SO quiet
1t IS n usual habit TO attempt the clearing
away obstacles by hurting epithets at them.
These epithetS are seldom classic or even
elegant, but they are direct and forcible, and
when directed against an offending horse or
an angry or obstinate man they are often ef-
ficacious AS against Jog, however, they are
Of little use beyond soothing the mind of the
utterer. But Of little avail as they are the
drivers yell volleys of them at the weather,
at their luck and at one another till the air
seems to reek with blasphemy end vitupera-
ton. 1t is not edifying, but it is interesting
to anybody WHO is not fastidious

A War "Reminiscences.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb 24-At the camp fire
