"A Grammatica1 Point.

Judge Wilson, of Kentucky, is fine
lawyer, a purist in the use of English, and
withal very fond of a joke, particularly il
it is not directed against himself.
Tom Roberts practices good deal before
Judge Wilson, and rather prides himself
on being self made man, and as he has
pushed his way to the front without col.
lege education, he is apt to look upon
scholars as entirely "too fnicky and theo-
retical" p
Recently, when pleading a case before
his friend, Mr.. Wilson said:
"And now, may it please your honor, I'll
conclude my argument tomorrow, unless
you will kindly consent to set late enough
to hear me out this evening"
Here was Judge Wilson's chance, and he
could not let it slip without notice.
"Hens set, sir, and judges sit"
Every WELL" laughed Roberts, II stand
corrected, and I hope your honor will sit
long enough to hear me out"
Not long after this the judge, while Civ
ing all opinion remarked:
'sUnder the circumstances, as stated,
do not think an action will lay"
II beg your honor's PARDON" said Rob
erts, quick as a flash, "up in the noun
tains whar was riz we allow that hens
lay and actions lie."
"1And in saying so," responded the blush.
ing judge, "you have laid closer to the
truth than at any time since you began
this case" ALFRED r. CALHOUN.

They were away from the world; buried

The captain discharged his pistol and the
caves rang with the deafening sound, and
the echoes rolled down through far away
caves, like the ceaseless discharges of re-
ceding artillery, till swallowed up in pro-
found, far away depths.
The men were afraid to move, for a
stone, loosened by their advance, had
leaped into the bottomless pit, and as no
sound came back they reasoned that it
must be still falling, and they did not care
to risk themselves near the awful edge.
No pen could give fair picture of the
long, black hours that followed. The cap
tain's watch ran down. Hunger and thirst
tortured them. Then came an irresistible
yearning for sleep, and as they closed their
heavy lids they shook hands like men who

SOME ODD STORIES.
INTERESTING INCIDENTS RELATED BY
MAJOR A. r. CALHOUN.

The Exciting Adventure OF Federal
Captain and His Orderly Who yentured
Into the Mysterious Labyrinth of Mann
moth Cave without a Guide.
copyright, 1892, by American Press Associa-
tion.l
Captain Poe, of Cincinnati, with his
troop was sent north from Bowling Green
and ordered to remain "at or near Cave
City till further orders"
AS every one should know, the limestone
region of southern Kentucky is honey
combed with caves, and during the late
war these caves were frequently the hiding
places of friend and foe.
Mammoth cave, one of the natural won
ders of the modern world, is only an hours
drive from the railroad at Cave City, and
Captain Poe, who had long been anxious
to see this famous "hole in the ground"
decided to avail himself of his proximity to
it to pay it visit.
'I will go over early in the morning." he
said to First Lieutenant Pratt, who was TO
remain back in command of the troop "and
Fll be back before sundown."
''There are no guides at the cave now, SO
YOU must be careful" said Lieutenant
Pratt.
ooh, I'll not go in very far. know all
the eccentricities of the place, and will go in
but short distance. Mike Finn, my or
derly, is the only man I'll take along; he
has been through Diamond cave and
knows all about such places" said the cap
tain confidently.
The next morning he and Orderly Finn
rode off for the cave, carrying with them,
in addition to lights and food, their arms,
for John Morgan was at that time showing
a most pernicious activity along the line OF
the Louisville and Nashville road.
On reaching the entrance to the cave
Captain Poe and his man dismounted and
concealed their horses in the woods some
distance away. Then they cut poles on
which to fasten the candles they had
brought with them and started in, conf
dent they were about to enjoy one days
peace. ..
A man who has climbed one great noun
tain is certainly better qualified to climb
another great mountain than man who
has had no such experience, but in the
matter of caves former experience counts
for little 1t is impossible to get substi-
tute for good local guide, but evidently
Captain Poe and Mike Finn were not of
this opinion.
The provisions and lights were divided,
candles were fastened to the poles, and
then the two men left the warm sunlight
and disappeared within the narrow and
unpromising portal that gives access to
halls vaster and grander than were ever
carved by human hands.

The Origin of "Gror."

"Yes," said the old captain, as he laid
down his pipe and took swig of the
steaming punch set conveniently near his
right elbow, "the navy has given some
very comforting words to the English Ian
guage. Ever hear the phrase tapping the
admiralH"
We thought we had, but were not quite
sure.
"Well, to this day in the navy, when one
sailor wants another to come off and have
a drink of rum with him, he is apt to say,
Let's go tap the admiral
''This is how it came about: When Ad-
miral Nelson was killed at the sea fight of
Trafalgar there was no means of embalm-
ing the body, for the rule was to bury all
dead sailors at sea; but every one knew
this wouldn't work in the case of Lord
Nelson. Now, down between decks there
was hogshead of prime old rum that had
Teen recently taken aboard, so after some
debate the doctors decided to put the body
into this.
"While living the admiral liked his grog
as well as the next man, but as he was
dead this could not account for the fact
that when the ship that bore the body
home reached London it was found that
pretty much all the rum had vanished.
''After long examination it was dis
covered that the sailors placed as guard
about the cask had regularly tapped it.
This also accounted for the tipsy behavior
of the men. From that day to this every
old sailor knows what tapping the ad-
miraP means.
''Then there is the word 'grog, and a fine
sound it has, just like liquor a-pouring
from the neck of bottle and laughing to
get out Look in all the dictionaries and
you'll find it, proud asyou please and large
as life. That word originated in the navy,
and it came about in this way:
ever hear of Admiral Vernon? MOI
Well, l think you will say Yes when ]
tell you he was the early friend Of George
Washington, and Mount Vernon was af.
terward named in his honor; SO you may
be sure he was a very fine man. His sailors
loved him, for it was he who insisted on
giving them double ration of rum in cold
weather, but he also insisted that it should
be drunk mixed with water.
admiral Vernon used to wear a big
grograin coat in wet weather, and so the
sailors, in pure love and affection, nick.
named him old Grog,' and gradually the
name was changed to. designate his favor.
ite beverage-rum and water.
$50 you see, gentlemen, the navy has
contributed it's share to the comforting
words of the English language, and if you
give her time she'll add some more," and
the captain finished his glass and resumed
his pipe.
