After a tough passage during which

was more than once the victim OF
NAL de mer, Henry M. Stanley last
Wednesday landed safely in New
York. The purpose of his coming is
well defined. He comes to tell the
American people about a continent
in-rrhieh of late they have A-eaifasta.l
unusual interest. But beyond the i'm
mediate and ppcuniary purposes OF
his mission hitherward he comes to
renew the friendships and receive the
tributes of a people among whom
were passed some of the best prepar-
atory years of his life He has been
aptly called cosmopolitan in mind as
in experiences. But he is a servant
and a benefactOr of his race whom it
will delight Americans to recognize
Such intrepid Adventures as he, are
by no means so common that they
can be permitted to pass through
the United States unnoticed and I'M
honored. 1t is the agreeable privi-
lege of democratic America to pay
homage not to rank or title but to
manhood and achievements. Mr.
Stanley is a man and hero, in his
way, He commands respect and he
will receive it,

HuMoR ON THE WITNESS STAND.
Some Choice Answers Compiled by the Ne
York Tribune.

Some Choice Answers Compiled by the New
York Tribune.
Some Of the peculiarities of witnesses are
described in an article which is going the
rounds OF the legal papers. Some of the
mistakes and retorts of witnesses are COM
ical.
One when asked whether her husband
struck her with impunity, said: eyes,
sometimes, but generally with his fist"
Another spoke Of the existence of family
fuel, evidently meaning ''teud."
A policeman, who is credited to New
York. said in sDeaking of his use of a club:
Il am willing to be let up on, Your Honor
but not altogether. The law must be
dedicated; give him justice tampered with
mercy"
A boy, who had perhaps heard of police
trials before the Commissioners, was exam
ined as TO his knowledge of the nature of
an oath, and in answer to a question as to
what was done to persons who swore falsely,
said: They makes policemen out of 'em. 1"
A woman, who certainly appeared older,
told the magistrate in a French court that
she was 25 years old. A young man who
was called as the next witness acknowledged
q years. "Are you related to the previous
witness, was the. first question. "Yes, 1
am her son." was the reply. "Ab," NUT
tered the magistrate, "'your mother must
have married very young"
An English judge had an experience
which is not frequently repeated in courts
in this country. The witness, In relating a
conversation would give the substance,
rather than the words, and the judge, Baron
Martin, started to teach him the proper
method of testIfying. He said to the wit
ness: my man. tell me just what was
said. "Yes, my lord. L said that
would NOT have the pig" "And what was
his answer ?" "He said he had been keep
ing it for me, and that he mo, no,
he could not have used those words,
he spoke in the first person." "No.
nv lord, was the first person that spoke. Z"
II mean don't bring in the third person; re-
peat the exact words used" 'There was no
third person, my lord-oniy him and me. I"
Now, my good man, he did not say that he
had been keeping the pig; he said, L have
been keeping the pig" 81 assure you, my
lord, there was no mention of your lordship
at all. We are on different stories. There
was no third person there; and il there had
been anything said about your lordship's
| keeping the pig, 1 must have heard it."
The witness was allowed to finish his story

stopping for few hours on the way at
Givet to change our money. As they had no
bank or bureau OF exchange, and had never
heard tell ofsuch things, we did without our

His VIII Experiences the ProverbiaI Hard

New York Herald.l
Thomas Monaghan, who came to this
country from Ireland in 1S47 poor young
man, died on September IL last, leaving a
fortune of over $500, 900, principally in city
real estate. His relatives have just insti-
tuted proceedings in the Surrogate's Court
with view to contesting the will. The will
was executed just "a hours before Mr..
Monaghan died.
Mr.. Monaghan was in the neighborhood
of 20 years OF age at the time of his death.
He was peculiar character, penurious to
the extreme, and it is said that he often re-
marked that he would never make a will,
and Tor all he cared the whole world might
battle over his money when be was gone.
For 20 years he carried on business as a
painter at Third avenue and Thirty-fourth
street. He retired from active business in
1871, and with his accumulated earnings en-
gagged successfully in real estate specula-
tions, largely on the east side Of the city.
He had married Annie McAvoy In 1855,
but their relations were not at all happy.
His brutal treatment of her caused them to
separate on more than one occasion, and she
returned to the home of her parents.

Duly Qualified on Oath for the Rank OF

New Orleans New Delta.I
The Lounger heard a good one the other
day. 1t was story Of a Kentuckian who
didn't want title; or at least who didn't
want an ordinary one. The story runs that
when Proctor Knott Che OF Duluth fame)
was inaugurated Governor of Ken
lucky he wrote to a friend of his
in Lebanon and rendered him an
appointment on his staff as "aide to the
Governor with the rank of Colonel" The
friend replied thanking the Governor Tor
the proffered honor, but declined it on the
ground that Colonels were too common in
the blue grass State. But, he added, he
would like to serve on the staff OF his friend,
and if he could be appointed 'aide to the
Governor with the rank of Mister" he
would gladly accept.
The Governor Immediately had made out
and forwarded to him commission appoint
him "Aide to the Governor with the rank
OF Mister" The gentleman went before
Justice of the Peace and took the oath of
Office, swearing to ''do and perform all the
duties pertaining to the Office of Mister, to
the best of his skill and ability, so help him
God" And to this day he is marked man
in his State as the only duly commissioned
and qualified sinister" that that State ever
had.

One of Chris. Maeee,s Tale,

Insurance companies get very little con-
sideration from juries. I was forciblv re-
minded OF that fact by story told me by
Chris Magee, of Pittsburg, saws Carson
Lake in the New York, Press. A man
named Renham, whose life was insured for
a large amount. was found hanging dead in
his Office. The insurance companies re-.
fused TO pay the policies because he had
committed suicide. They could not prove
that he had killed himself. But neither
could it be proven that be had not killed
himself, and the cireumstantial evidence
was in favor of the company. The heirs
brought suit. There were two trials and
then Judge Greer, one of the oldest iurists
In the country, was called upon to try the
case Tor a third time. The foreman OF the
jury was an old Ohio River boatman. The
case had been summed up and the Jury had
retired, when the foreman sent out word
that instructions were wanted on the law.
The jury came out and the foreman asked
some questions which led the Judge to say
10 him: sit is for the Court to furnish the
law. It is TOR the jury to find the facts.
The policy OF insurance was in the nature
OF contract The holder of the policy in
that contract agreed not to commit suicide,
and II be committed suicide he forfeited his
right under the policy"
The jury retired and vrestled with the
case for an hour, when new instructions
were asked which covered almost identically
the same ground. After another consulta-
ton they filed into their seats with a yer-
dict against the insurance company. Judge
Ireer expressed great surprise at the YER
