Old Mrs. Hemingway.

A story once told by famous Meth
odist minister of a member of bis flock
in Kentucky will be new to many
readers.
| Brother Jones was large, ford,
pompous man, so wrapped in self-con-
ceit and arrogance MS to be almost in
tolerable to other members of the
church. One elder after another had
demonstrated with him upon his mon
strous vanity, and reminded him that
such pride was unbecoming to a
Christian; but he was deaf to hints or
rebukes.
At last, after solemn consultation,
| it was resolved that the minister
should preach sermon aimed at
Brother Jones, and at him only. No
word of it was to be applicable to any
other man or woman. The rebuke was
to be so severe that it was hoped he
would be cured of conceit for the rest
Of his life.
The day came. The church was even
more than ordinarily full of people.
Many of them had come from curiosity;
others hoped to see the vain man, who
had often treated them in super
cilious manner, chagrined and mortified.
Some of the more tender hearted of the
congregation stayed at home, not wish
ing to witness his humiliation.
The sermon began. Brother Jones,
with complacent expression of face,
disposed himself to- listen. The mans
infirmity was sketched with bold, severe
strokes. He smiled with lofty superb
GRITTY. AS the denunciation grew more
scathing, his smile deepened with q
touch of complacent pity. At the con-
clusion Of the services he staggered
down the aisle. One of the elders
| joined him.
what did you think of the sermon,
Brother Jones?" he ventured to ask.
"a great effort sir! But personal.
The pastor aimed his shots too directly.
! Poor old Mrs. Hemingway feel sorry
for her. But really that woman's con-
ceit is enormous, sir
We are all ready to give over the re-
Dukes intended for ourselves to some

1t is not uncommon in insane asylums
for patient to believe that all his COM

Another singular popularity Of
human nature is that we are most keen
in detecting IN others the very faults
which are worst in ourselves.

must compare ourselves, not with our
acquaintance but with the One perfect

His Mother.

"A pathetic story is on the police
record OF New Orleans, which has a
meaning and lesson for every young
man and woman.
A grave, middle-aged man, whose APP
pearance indicated refinement and Gull
ture, appeared one morning at the
Central Police Station, of New Orleans,
handed his card to the officer in charge,
and asked leave to inspect the prisoners
In the woman's ward. The Sergeant
recognizing his name as that of aWestern
merchant, granted the request

bloated face peering out of white. un-
combed hair could not hide the traces

The stranger went up to her, looked
her in the face and took her hand in

lie turned away abruptly, unable to
speak for time. Then he said to the
Sergeant;
This is my mother. will look out
for her. She shall never trouble YOU
again."
After the necessary formalities she
was released, and he took her away.
Her story was sad and painful one.
Her husband had died when her
child was an infant. She had made no
effort to support it, but putting it into a
Home for Friendless Children had
given herself up to prohigate life.
The boy was adopted by stranger and
taken to California. There he grew m.
received a good education, went into
business and was successful: bnt
through all these comfortably happy
years he felt restless longing to find
his mother, to save her from misery
and shame, and make her old age pure
and honorable.
He came to the Fast, and employed
agents to find her. 1t was after long
continued search that he had discovered
her, on this morning, among the
drunken outcasts OF police court.
The next day. sober and clothed
though not in her right mind, she was
taken by her son to his distant home.
Whether or not in the little remnant Of
lie that was left to her she reformed
her habits, and rewarded his long wears

Professor Lombroso, . student Of
criminals, says that out Of forty one an
eTchists whom be studied in the Paris
police Office, thirty-one per cent. showed
the criminal type Of features. OF forty
three Chicago anarchists the percentage
.of wicked faces was forty, and that is
about the percentage obtained from the
professors researches among the politi-
cal criminals Of Turin. Regicides or
n,urderers Of presidents, such as Fieschi,
Guiteau, MODELLING and historic evil-doers
like Marat, had nearly all the criminal
cast OF features. Nobiling, Guiteau and
Booth, in the specialists opinion, had
hereditary tendencies to crime. Certain
socialists, like Karl Marx and Lassalle,
are exempted from the doctor classifica-
lion, as their features are noble, but then
'uch men do not favor anarchy.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS.
An Important Case.

The Supreme Court recently decided
case involving the constitutionality
Of an act of the Legislature and dis
tribution of an estate valued at over
s100, 900. K. J. Morris died in 1884, leav-
ing 100000 worth Of real estate, and
s12o, 900 personal property. His widow,
to whom the personality went, was ad-
judged insane month later. One year
later the Legislature, at the solicitation
of TIE husbands relatives, passed bill
requiring that where widow of un-
sound mind had inherited personal prop
erty from her husband, and died with
out issue, this property should revert to
her husbands people instead of her
next of kin. Mrs. Morris died in 1888
and her administrators brought suit to
settle the question of whether the estate
should be distributed under the general
law or under the special law, it being
held that Mrs. Morris had recovered her
mind. The Supreme Court decided this
act unconstitu tional, the main ground
being that the State had attempted to
give to the husbands relatives what il
did net possess and could not take to
itself, and that 1t had violated the bill
OF rights in taking from Mrs. Norris the
right TO bequeath her estate, such right
being in itself property. The estase is
above 500, 900 in value.

Scott was the principal owner in the
