A SINGULAR oFFeNse.

An American Imprisoned In ChIu STA
Mouths for Crossing His Legs.
The charges that are made against
the Gillian government of despotism.
etc, recall a story told by Colonel
Thomas II. Nelson after his return
from Chill. where he represented this
government as minister under the ad-
m~inistration VI Abraham Lincoln. He
said:
ION the day after my arrival at San
tiago. the capital Of Chill. / received a
message from an American then in Jail
at that place. who desired TO see me as
early as convenient. l called at once.
and found a man who looked not I'M
like Joe jefferson when he made up a.
Rip Van Wrinkle. He said his name
was Story. that he was a son Of the
late Associate Justice Story. Of the su
preme court of the United Stltes, and
author Of the Commentaries on the
Constitution Of the United Statcs.' as
well as "A brother OF W. W. Story. the
sculptor and poet
He said he had been in that place
six months. which was by no means in
viting, and all of his efforts 10 find out
why he vas incarcera.ed or TO secure a
hearing had been without avail He
desired my assistance. | called at once
upon the minister of foreign affairs and
requested some information as 20 the
aus of Mr.. Story's Imprisonment.
The minister had never heard of the
case, but said as l was { o be presented
tomorrow he would inquire into the
case. and by the time / was installed as
envoy extraordinary and minister pleni-
potentiary he would take up the case
with me. Imagine my surprise on the
day following TO learn that my country
man had been charged with contempt
of court and that his contempt con
sisted Of entering the supreme court
and seating himself within the bar.
when he had crossed his legs and
looked directly at the judges l said:
There could have been no contempt
intended. 1t is an American character
istic.'
when / entered the private room
OF President Lincoln TO take my final
leave previous to my departure for this
city, my post of duty, l found the
president in a chair tilted back, with
the middle Of his back on the edge of
the seat of the chair and his legs tied,
it seemed to me, in a double bowknOt
on the marble mantel. | assure you
there has been a great mistake made
by some one.
The cas- was brought TO the atten-
ton Of the court, explanations were
made and apologies accepted. The
chief justice Of the court then enter
tanned Mr.. Story. who, by the way,
was an able as well as a very accom-
plished gentleman. lie lived and died

The Sea Cucumber.

Among the curious animals which in
habit the sea we may take the holo-
thuria OF sea cucumber, so called from
its resemblance 70 the cucumber. When
this animal is attacked by an enemy il
does not stand up and fight, but by a
sudden movement it elects its teeth,
stomach, digestive apparatus, and
nearly all its intestines. and then shrivels
its body up TO almost nothing. When,
however, the danger i past. the animal
commences 20 replace the organs which
il has voluntarily parted with, and in a
short time the animal is as perfect a.
ever IL was.
DIR. Johnstone kept one in water for
a long time and One day he forgot to
change the water. The creature In
consequence elected It's intestines and
shriveled up. but when the water was
changed. ell its organs were repro

The Chinese value a pair OF boots
which have beer worn by an upright

latch or tie, lacing it wrong or losing a

a Flatbush horse car stood at the
terminus Of the line the other day pre-
paraJory 70 a down town trip. A
handsomely attired lady and her ten
year-old son were the only passengers.
The driver unscrewed the brake and
then left the car for a minute. The
horses took fright and started at full
speed. The two passengers looked
about for the driver. He was nowhere
TO be seen. The small boy turned

and grasp the reins, and probably for
the first time since horse ears were in

II was a funny sight, but il wasn't
half as funny as the effect it had upon
the small boy. To see his dignihed
mamma, with her best Sunday bonnet
with the lace and pink roses, driving a
street car with her best gloves on and
shouting 'Whoal" to the horses was too
much for his risibles. He Just stretched
himself out on one of the benches, and
