The Courteous Young Man.

was in public place of amuse-
ment in the Bowery the other day,
says M. Quad in the n. Y. World, aud
a young man took charge Of me and
showed me around aud made lots OF
explanations in the most courteous
manner. While he was telling me
that the Wild Man of Borneo had
preference for raw beef | thought
felt his hand in my pocket, but it is so
easy to be mistaken that didn't say
anything. While he was explaining
that gorilla can kill man with one
blow of his paw. / thought felt him
in another pocket. but didn't want to
hurt his feelings, aud so overlooked
it. He informed me that ostriches
could maintain speed OF twenty-five
miles an hour for ten hours on
stretch. and ut the same time seemed
to be searching my watch-pocket. l
might have appeared somewhat agi-
tated. but l didn't give him to under
stand in words that l was surprised ut
his conduct. He seemed to have lost
heart little when he started Ia to ex-
plain that the crocodies of Africa
sometimes attain the length OF thirty
feet and can swallow a barrel OF cider
at one gulp, and sought to cheer him
up by saying:
''Ive got one more pocket you
haven't had your hand into and there's
handkerchief in it which cost ut least
quarter. You can get it while deliv.
ering your lecture on the hyena-found
in profnsion in India-seldom attacks
man-supposed to dig up the dead.
and so forth"
And what did he do but get mad
and threaten to lick me and turn me
out Of doors! told him that l was
sorry that had to como dead broke
and that he had wasted half an hour
Of his valuable time for nothing, and
that l would have at least 80 cents for
him next time / called but he was OBJ
durate, and l had to bid him farewell

bench it pleases him to meet his friends
and swap few stories. The other day
he told one about himself and the late
Charlie Moore.
They were employed to defend lit

the-way towns of Virginia. The boy
had stolen over $500 from his employer
and was to be tried for grand larceny.
The day OF the trial il was bitter cold.

nounced temperance man as now he
found plenty who were willing to join
him in snifllers.
The evidence was dead against his
client and he and Mr.. Moore realized
that argument. with copious slugs OF
bug juice. were the only things which
would save him. AT noon the Judge
and jury. upon invitation Of Judge
Miller aud Mr.. Moore. adjourned to the
nearest saloon.
When court met all felt good. and
Mr. Moore made a splendid argument,
as did also Judge Miller. They liter
ally demolished all the evidence against

c. ii. Bullock, of Northfield, Mimi !,
last week obtained 1920 bushels of
potatoes from one acre Of land This
is said to be by far the largest yield
ever known, 800 bushels being usually
considered big crop. That the l, ,12O
bushels were all raised on one acre of
ground is sworn to by number of
trustworthy people of the vicinity. Mr..
Bullock will net 1896 for his product,
nearly all clear gain. Last year he
would have made 5000 off the same
yield, as the price of potatoes was
higher then. The farmers in the vi

recent nominations is that the promotion OF
Judge SHIPMAN In this circuit and Judge
WILLIAM A. WOODS Of Indiana in the Sew
enth circuit will give the President an op-
portunity to make further appointments to
the bench In these two States. because tho
confirmation OF tho gentlemen Just nomi-
mated will make vacancies respectively In
the United States District Court in Conncc-
ticut and In the United States District Court
In Indiana. II q news telegram which camo
from Chicago on Sunday Is correct. the Presi-
dent is likely also soon to have to appoint q
new District Judge for the Northern District
of Illinois in place OF Judge HENRY w.
BLopaErr OF Chicago. who proposes to re-
sign the office which he has held for over
twenty years. In order to accept the Presi-
dency OF new life insurance company.
We have said that tho comments on the
new appointments to the Circuit bench have
generally been favorable. Perhaps We
ought to note two exceptions. Considerable
opposition seems to have been developed In
Delaware and Pennsylvania to the confir-
nation OF Mr.. DALLAS. not on any per-
sonal or professional grounds. but because
he Is Democrat: and in reference to the
proposed promotion Of Judge WOODS OF In
diana, it is reported that the Democrats In
the Senate will oppose his confirmation be-
cause OF his action az District Judge In the
celebrated DUDLEY case concerning the
blocks OF Ave. scheme to carry the State
for the Republican ticket.

ligIous doctrines it propagotes. Mere phil
lanthropy cannot infuse lasting vitality.
The Rev. DR.. BRIoos continues to draw
congregations whenever he breaches or leo
lures In public. which demonstrates the
popularity OF his heretical doctrines. Two
years ago he was unknown outside OF
small circle OF theologians. As a theologi-
cal professor he was buried from the pub
lie view: but now he lie the most con-
spicuous of the Presbyterian ministry.
Wherever he goes he draws crowd.
while Presbyterian preachers OF the old
fashioned Westminster Confession faith
nre neglected. He lectured last Sunday at
Presbyterian church far up town. and
tho house was packed with an admiring
audience. though he expounded his views
about the Bible as o fallible book. The
talk about expelling Dr. BRroas from the
Presbyterian Church seems ta have ceased,
for the present at least.
Next week the Presidents Of many OF the
leading Eastern colleges are to assemble In
brooklyn by invitation Of the Young Mems
Christian Association OF that city to discuss
Education and the Colleges" The object
OF the meeting is to stimulate the interest OF
college men In these associations In the dif-
fercnt towns.
