courts. in which Abraham Lincoln

damages. The question turned large

TIRED OF WAITING.

When Labouchere was q clerk in
the foreign office at Washington, one
day an aggressively irate countryman
of the young attache with grievance
presented himself at the legation and
demanded to see the British minister.
He was shown into Mr. Labouchere's
room, who, with the suavity which
never deserts him in the most pressing
moments. explained tl.;tt his excel
lencv was not i'll.
"Wcli,' said the visitor, evidently
suspecting an attempt to bluff, II
must see him, and will wait till he
comes
Every we'll said Mr.. Labouchere :;
''pray take chair and he resumed
his writing At the end of an hour
the Britisher, still Tuning and fret
ting, asked when the minister would
be back.
81 really cannot say exactly" the
attache answered.
But you expect him back p the
visitor insisted.
"Oh, certainly" said Mr.. Labou-
chere.
At the end of another hour the irate
visitor, bouncing up, insisted on
knowing what were the habits of the
minister at that period of the day.
Was he likely to be in in another
hour?
81 think not said Mr. Labouchere,
with an increased blandness. 1.-THE
fact is, he sailed for Europe on We'd
nesday and can hardly yet have reach

said you would wait till he came in,
