"The Wind Blew Through His whiskers.

A correspondent of the P;ttsburg Dis
patch says that the very Objectionable
bit Of slang, "The wind blew through
his whiskers," is not American at all. In
fact, he says, it was first used by an
Englishman, one Den Chaucer, who wrote
the Canterbury Tales" In the tale of
"The Shipman" occurs this remarkable
line, with many a tempest had his
beard been shaken"

TROUBLE IN THE SOUTHERN SOCIETY
John 8. Wise wfthdraws From Tibet Or
gRnization.

John 8. Wise Whhdraws From Thct Or
ganization.
New YORK, Feb. 1.-Mr. John Sargent
Wise, the well-known lawyer and ora
tor OF this city, has resigned from the
Southern Society of New York. HIS res-
ignation is the subject of conversation
among Southern men Wherever thew
meet The cause was an episode in tho
club. house few days ago.
Mr.. Wise entered the house one day
with friend. full of happy greetings.
1t was not long after the heat of the
campaign and that fusilade of Cooper
Union speeches from prominent orators
from both sides. Mr.. Wise had been
one of the orators. Southern Demo.
Gratis had, it is said, objected to an
analogy made by Mr.. Wise between the
Democratic platform of the day upon
the tariff and the Confederate constitu-
ton of war times.
Mr.. Wilton Randolph. Virginian,
was one OF them. So when Mr. Wise
came in with his friend ono day he met
Mr.. Wilton Randolph IN the hall. Mr..
Wise introduced his friend.
Said Mr.. Wilton Randolph: "Did you
make that speech in Cooper Union last
night?"
II did"
"Then don't care to shake hands
with you or your friend" was tho reply
of Mr.. Randolph.
| Mr.. Wise expressed his Indifference
in down South" way, and the matter
for the nonce ended
| 1t came up, however, before the house
committee, the two members were
called before it, and as consequence
| Mr.. Wise later handed in his resigna-
tion. A member of the club who was
interviewed was frank to say that while
the club was decidedly "at odds" with
| MIR. Wise for the sentiments uttered by
him in his Cooper Union speech, yet it
by no means upheld Mr.. Randolph. He
wished 1t to be understood that the
bulk of the club considered that Mr..
Wise had been discourteously treated,
yet he wished to be equally frank in
saying that Mr. Randolph had manv
friends in the matter.
Mr.. Wise and Mr.. Randolph represent
two of the most distinguished of Vir-
ginia families, the one being a son OF
the late Henry A. Wise, the other q
lineal descendant of Thomas Jeffers on
| Mr.. Wise Ia O man of brilliant talents,
was in the battle of Newmarket from
the Virginia Military Institute, and per.
sonally is beloved by many friends in
his State. But it is no secret that so
ciety" became 80 disagreeable for Mr..
Wise on account Of his Republican
faith that he kept his family away
from his native State. His clever and
