When Brooke Herford first arrived in
Boston he was the guest of Edward
Everett Hale. One morning he came
downstairs with look of pleased sur
prise manifest on his face. "Whut a
pleasing custom you have here he
said, ''of Ginning the bells at mid
night" His host and hostess looked at
him in silent amazement wondering if
he had taken leave of his senses.
Eyes, continued their guest, 81 got up
and leaned out of the window to listen.

"This, said DR.. Hale, telling the story

BosToN, Mass, March S.-Judgment
for over Sl60 900 has been awarded the
Prescott National IAnk of Lowell in its
suit against General Benjamin f, Butler,
tried in the Superior Court by Judge

the General as endorser for note for
$12, 900, dated juno 13, 1886, and made
by A. S. Woodworth and Harry II. Hale,
payable in four months to General But
Ter. The note went to protest when due
and the General set up the defence that
the bank had no title, not having dis
counted it directly, but through F. r. f.
Moseley 81 Co., brokers and, further,
that it was made on Sunday, and was
consequently void.

many people as government official of
high rank. His office at the Grand Cen
tral depot is besieged from early morn
ing until Mr.. Depew gets tired and slips
out of convenient private door at five
in the afternoon, and sends his mes
senger to say that "Alr Depew has been
summoned away and you will have to
come again in the morning"
One recent afternoon, just as the
much-wanted gentleman was getting
ready to close up his desk and was sign
ing some bonds preliminary to doing so,
his private secretary remembered that
Mr. Depew had six instead OF five en-
gagements for that night. Indeed"
asked Mr.. Depew, what are tGey?"
Mr.. Duval, the private secretary, ran
over the list. There was the Columbia
college dinner at the Brunswick, TO be-
gin with; an invitation to meet some
railway men at dinner at the Windsor;
a reception at the house of a friend at
which he must look in, the meeting of a
committee at the Union League club, a
call upon the relative who was ill, and
two small political dinners. This array
of engagements, each of which were
important in a measure, would have
prompted most men to send five letters
of regret and attend upon the sixth
Mr.. Depew did nothing of the sort. lie
merely inclined his head, thought a
minute and wrote upon slip of paper,
which he neatly folded and slipped into
his pocket, a list of the places in the
order in which he desired to visit them
Then he listened TO request for an ad-
vance copy of a speech to be delivered a
day or two later, said he wasn't going
to make any, and, slipping into his over
coat, went home. 1t was not difficult
the next morning to find in the news
papers indisputable evidence of his
presence at the places he had set out TO
visit the night before. On the next day
he went over to Philadelphia and made
a speech and came back at night in
time to hear Marie Tempest sing the
Nightingale" song at the Casino.

the Central Railroad Company of New
Jersey and the Port Reading Company,
SO far as it relates to the said Lehigh

Chauncey NJ. Depew, writes q New
York correspondent, Is one OF the few
famous men Of the country who can
combine business with pleasure and do
lots of both at the same time. Mrs.
Depew, who does not care for society
as much as her distinguished hus-
band, once told friend that her bet
ter half had taken but one holiday
in two years. "That was when he at
tended only one banquet in a week,
she said, in explaining the circum-
stance, but il was so long ago that it
seemed TO her more like family tradi-
tion than a fact. People who are ac-
quainted with the restless spirit of the
best after-dinner tallSer in America say
that there is not SO much extravaganza
in Mrs Depew's witticism as there
would seem. 1t is rarely that Mr.. De-
pew ever takes an hour to himself-not
that he likes his own companionship
less, but because he likes that of con-
genial spirits amid congenial surround
ings more. From the time he leaves
his home after breakfast until he goes
back at dusk to climb into a dress suit
and admonish his wife against waiting
up for him-as he may be late, you
know, after the manner of men who
have told their wives the same thing
since before the art of saying witty
things on full stomach was known to
