A WOman's Impression OF Webster.
The following is the description Mrs.
Jefferson Davis gives of Daniel Webster
in her @Memoir" of her husband: "No
words, says Mrs. Davis ~can describe
the first impression he made upon me.
had heard of him and spent long hours in
reading aloud his speeches in the National
LlteilideRcer when mere child, and to
see him was like looking at the Jungfrau
or any other splendid natural phenome-
non. There was no doubt as to where
he sat, for the conviction Of his identity
was forced upon one when he turned his
massive, overhanging forehead, with
those great, speculative, observant eyes
full of lambent fire. He was as careful
as a woman about the delicate neatness
of his attire. He, like Mr.. Cal
houn, always listened most attentiyely to
any Senator who was speaking; but Mr..
Webster, except when Mr.. Calhoun or
some other intellectual giant had the
floor, had the air of protecting indul-
gence that a superior being might wear
10 an inferior. He was rarely offensive,
but sometimes showed dignified indul-
gence to weakness that was hard to bear
Voluble he never was. OF Calhoun she
says: ~He wore his thick hair all the
same length and rather long, combed
straight back from his forehead. This.
with his brilliant eyes and unfiinching
gaze, gave his head the expression of an
eagles. His mouth was wide and
straight; he rarely smiled, and the firm,
square chin and grave manner made a
personality striking in the extreme. He
was tall and slenderly made, quick and
alert in both speech and movement.

Ssne Information which Old Hutch
Is Anxteus 20 Acquire.

Is Anxteus 20 Acquire.
A lady-we shall not tell her name
had most amusing experience with
Benjamin p. Hutchinson the other day.
This lady is deeply interested in charita-
bic work, and ever and anon she lends
herself 10 the diagreeable task of solicit
ing money contributions to such worthy
causes as she may happen to have in
hand.
This is rather ungrateful employment,
but this lady applies herself cheerfuIly to
1t, for she recognizes it as part of her
Christian duty. II befell that this worthy
woman had occasion to approach Mr..
Hutchinson the other afternoon, and she
did so in the spirit of charming good
nature. which is, perhaps, her most con-
spicuous characteristic. Now, Mr.. Hutch
inson is wary bird, and seldom it is that
he is caught in corner by anybody.
But this particular lady was SO exception
ally bright and exuberant that the crafty
millionaire gave up crisp $50 bill al
most before he was aware of it. And
then, q we can easily suppose, he began
to regret it.
Oh her part the falr solicitor was con-
siderably surprised; she had heard that
he was hard, unfeeling man, yet had he
not responded promptly and generously
to her appeal? She was so grateful that
she insisted on shaking hands with the
old man, and as she did so she remarked
feelingly:
We do not always get our reward
here, Mr.. Hutchinson, but we should re-
member that the Lord loveth cheerful
giver.
Yes, I've often heerd tell, answered
Mr.. Hutchinson dryly; @but I'm more
interested in fndin' out the Lords opin-
ion of a cheerful beggar. ~ [Chicago

catcher what style OF ball Is to be pitched !:
