1t seems Inevitable that Sir Walter
Scott should sometimes err. When an
author is throwing off brilliant romances
at fever heat, in electric sympathy with
a teeming brain and a tingling pulse, he
cannot be expected to be o~yercareful.
No n knew better than he-a famous
horseman himself-the limits of endur-
ance in a horse. He makes Wilfred of
Ivanhoe advise his enemy, the Templar,
to take a fresh steed for the fierce tilt
he was to run with him. Wilfred him
self had no chargers of remount; he had
but one steed, the gift of Isaac of York,
and wa compelled to run five successive
courses in rapid succession on the unfor-
tunate animal. Horse and man were
both sheathed in armor. The day was
hot and sultry. No steed that ever was
foaled could have stood the ordeal. But
this may be hypercriticism. Is it hyper
criticism also to point out that in the
same novel a full century is dropped in
such sort that one of Richard rs knights
holds converse with a contemporary of
the Conqueror, who was Richards great
great-grandfather? Or that the Fair
Maid of Perth" goes to mass in the after
noon, whereas mass cannot be celebrated
save in the earlier part of the day?-Bel-
ford's Review.

JIM'S STORY.

| tell you plain, il | don't try
To brace myself right firm I'll cry.
This soft wind and this haze and sun,
And the gold and red that melt and run
And splash the hills: and she not here
To say things about the dying year!
Didn't | tell you? Oh, | see.
They called her Dora, all but me:
For she was a delicate lady born.
And |, we'll, | was huskin corn:
So | called her Miss. She was stayin here
For the country air the heft of the year.
Sometimes she'd sit out under a tree
And watch the hired man work, that's me.
But she got SO frail-like along In the fall
That she didn't weigh nothin, wraps and all.
And the women folks got me to lend a hand
Movin her out in the sun TO be tanned
That's what they said, but she didn't seem
To care about jokin: just wanted to dream
And look at the foliage, gold and red,
On the hills, and talk about bein dead!
Cheerful? Well, no; not exactly that;
But | used to potter around where she sat.
Just watchin her, sort OF, under the rim
OF my hat, an wishin she'd call me Jim!
Ever have that feelin? Well, | never cared
For a girl that was we'll, but if I'd dared
I'd a-told her how il made me thrill
When | stole a look at her, sittin so still
And holdin the red leaves in her hands,
Quotin some song about lotus lands,
some place where it's always afternoon,
In a voice that was soft and sweet as a tune.
And so | just listened from under the rim
Of my hat, sort o wishin she'd call rue jim.
That kind Of girls amt fer such as me.
Nor fer nobody elae's fer's | can see;
Fer they jist creep into a hired mans heart
When the leaves turn red and the brown burrs
part;
And then when it SHOWS and the skies are lead
And it's still in the house, you know who's
dead!
I've no right to murmur, but somehow yet.
Try as hard as | may, | can never forget
How | thrilled when her white hand touched
my arm;
And now when the trees are red on the farm
Sometimes | listen from under the rim
OF my hat, sort O. wishin she'd called ME jim!

Arizona's Petrifed Forest.

From the Atlantic and Pacific railroad
it is not hard to reach ONE of the great
est of natural curiosities-the petriied
forest of Arizona. Much the nearest
point is the little station of Billings, but
there are the scantiest accommodations
for the traveller. Only a mile south Of
the track at that point one may see d
low, dark ridge. marked by a single cot
tonwood tree.
Walking thither, over a valley SO alive
with jack rabbits hat there is some ex-
cuse for the cowboy declaration THAT
you can walk clear across on their
backs" n soon reaches the northern
edge of the forest, which covers hun
dreds of square miles. Unless you are
more hardened to wonderful sights than
| am you will almost fancy yourself in
some enchanted spot. You seem to
stand on the glass of a gigantic kaleido-
scope, over whose sparkling surface the
sun breaks in infinite rainbows. You
are ankle deep in such chips as I'll war
rant you never saw from any other wood
pile.
What do you think Of chips from trees
that are red moss agate and amethyst
and smoky topaz and agate of every hue?
Such are the marvellous splinters that
cover the ground for miles here around
the huge PROSTATE trunks-some of them
five feet through-from which Times
patient az has hewn them. | broke a
specimen from the heart of a tree there
years ago which had around the stone
pith a remarkable array of large and ex-
quisite crystals, for on one side of the
specimen-which is o so large as my
hands a beautiful mass of crystals of
royal purple amethyst, and on the other
an equally beautiful array of smoky
topaz crystals st. Nicholas.

Self Conceit versus Self Confidence.

While conceit may produce a mega
lively agreeable effect it cannot be called
a positive charm. We do not think a
person more charming because of his
conceit, and we do not encourage 1t In
those who are dear to us. A parent re-
presses rather than stimulates it in his
child, and a person who should plainly
and laboriously cultivate it would not
be in peril of canonization. 1t is doubt
full if conceit ever accompanies real
greatness. A great man, indeed, may
have the self confidence that springs
from the consciousness of power; but
consciousness O.. power is very different
from conceit of it. The one is a fact;
the other a fancy.-George William
Curtis in Harper's.

YESTERDAYS LABORS OF THE JUDGES

An srgument was heard before Judges
Ewing and White yesterday on the man
damus proceedings brought by Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Goehring against Controller
Grier to obtain his salary. The papers in
the case, filed by Mr.. Goehring and Con-
troller Grier, were read by the attorneys
James Fitzsimmons then spoke on behalf
Of the Controller. He contended that the
law did not contemplate Deputy District
Attorney and that the District Attorney
has an assistant who could do the work in
tended Mr Goehring should do. He had
the time ard could DO it when through with
the grand jury. Also there was no fund in
the County Treasury from which to pay the
new deputy.
Judge Ewing remarkedthat from long
experience in Criminal Court and his
knowledge that assistance was necessary, he
thought something should be done. He did
not, either, think that the Assistant Dis
trict Attorney should be called down to
help.
W. B. Rodgers argued in behalf of Goehr-
ing. He said the duties of the Assistant
District Attorneys are specifically laid down.
They are to have charge of the grand jury
work and not to aid in the trial of cases. He
said also that under the act of 1875 the
District Attorney has the right to appoint
deputy. AS to there being no money in
the treasury, it would be sufficient to raise
that question at the proper time. There
would be plenty of m oney when the Dis
trict Attorney proceeded on forfeited recog-
nlzances and bail bonds
The Court took the papers and reserved
decision.

REFUSED TO SUPPLY GAS

The Wellsbach Incandcscent Light Com
pany Sues the Philadelphia Company.
W. H Holmes, Superintendent of the
Wellsbach Incandescent Gas Light Com
pany, of 722 Penn avenue, filed a petition
for temporary mandamus to compel the
Philadelphia Company to furnish his COM
pany gas for Illuminating purposes He
alleges that on December Is he applied for
gas, the supply to commence with the be-
ginning of the new year. In his application
the Philadelphia Company undertook to
limit him to gas for fuel purposes only, and
il he used it for Illuminating purposes he
was to pay an excessive rate.
He claims it is the duty of the company
to supply gas to all parties desiring it upon
the same terms and conditions without dis
elimination. The writ was issued and made
returnable January %.
The Wellsbach Company has q patent
burner and they want the gas to use in the
burners that are kept on exhibition.
