"A Chicago man tells of d deadlock
that prevailed at the White House when
the Emperor of Brazil was entertained
there. A United States Senator kindly
informed the distinguished guest that be,
the Emperor, would be expected to re-
main until the other guests had taken
their leave. The mistress of the White
House had also notified her guests that
they would be expected to follow, not
precede, the royal party in leaving the
house. The time came to 60, but no one
dared depart. The Emperor, according
to instructions, was waiting for the others
to 20 and the others were waiting for him
to move. The deadlock continued for an
hour or more, to the embarrassment Of
everybody, and was only broken by
tired out-woman who pretended sudden
illness. The incident illustrates what q
beautiful thing social etiquette is when
common sense is entirely barred.
- Congressman-elect Simpson, of
Kansas, is not man who is 80 easily EN-.
barrassed. The other day he was ap-
preached by a female lobbyist at Wash
ihgton, who declared that she bad heard
great deal of him through the newspa-
pers, and who said: "Mr. Simpson, is it
true that you do not wear socks, and will
you not let me see for myself whether
the story is true or false z" Madam"
replied the gallant Jerry, II am firm
believer in reciprocity in all things, and
I will show you my socks on one condi-
ton, and that is that in return you will
show me yours" It is hardly necessary
to say that the iDquisitive female uttered
little shrek and fed hurriedly. Simp.
son, of Kansas, is not simpleton by any
means.
Judge c., who once presided over
crimical court down East, was famous as
one of the most compassionate men who
ever sat upon the bench. His softness of
heart, however, did not prevent him from
doing his duty as a judge. A man who
had been convicted of stealing small
amount was brought into court for SEN
tence. He looked very sad and hopeless,
and the court was very much moved by
his contrite appearance. "Have you ever
been sentenced to imprisonment" the
judge asked. "Never, never" exclaimed
the prisoner, bursting into tears. "Don't
cry, don't cry" said Judge O., consoling-

The Newberry Observer believes the
State will win the Coosaw CASE The
opinion of Attorneys General Con-
nor, Earle and Pope, all eminent lawyers,
and all agreeing in this matter, makes a
very strong case. We believe further
that the State ought to win 7; for monop.
oily OF any sort is bad enough, but per-
petual monopoly ought not to be tolera-
ted.
"A correspondent OF the Hartwell,
Ga, Sun says: There was very large
mule that died in my neighborhood, and
three years after it was dead it killed a
nine, year old negro boy. This is true
statement. The circumstances were as
follows: The hawks were very bad at our
house, and we took the skull of the above
mentioned mule and hung itup in the
top of mulberry tree to scare the hawks
away. In the summer when the mulber-
ries were ripe the negroes climbed up the
tree and shook it, and the skull fell and
struck the negro boy on the head, killing
him, instantly. It was three years to the
very day from the time the mule died
until be killed the negro.
