Kossuth a Boodler2 Nerer,

No one familiar with the career of
Louis Kossuth will for moment credit
the charge that the splendid and chival-
rous manhood which dared death and
exile for a principle has yielded to the
base influence of bribe giver. 1t is true
that William of Orange and Lord Bacon.
both statesmen and patriots of high
rank, practiced bribery. Lord Give and
William Penn were also engaged in the
same traffic But Kossuth belongs to
another age.
The ex-dictator of Hungary is said to
have accepted $1,000 year as the price
of support for the present Hungarian
cabinet. The absurdity of the accusa-
tion is shown by the fact that Kossuth
has repeatedly declined the offer of King
Hurnbert to settle large pension on
him and has even refused money from
his own sons, preferring to earn his liv-
ing in his old age by his pen, and thus
enjoy the sense Of independence. When
Kossuth was expatriated three years ago
so Hungarian cities and towns conferred
honorary citizenship upon him within 10
days after the law went into effect. At
that time the venerable patriot resolute-
ly rejected all profered gifts of money.
A man who could neither be bought
nor frightened by Napoleon III or Bis
marck is not likely to surrender his soul
to a second rate Hungarian politician

Drinking In Gotham.

The New York papers are claiming
that Gotham is more strongly opposed to
drunkenness than any other city in the
world. The moral consolation of this
assurance is somewhat impaired from
the fact that the sobriety claimed for
the city is accounted for in the practice
of the leading saloons of shutting off a
mans grog when it becomes apparent
that he is getting too many sails in the
wind. OF course he takes on the balance
of his cargo at any accessible port, and
the stand made for sobriety under this
system does not amount to much. There
may be something in the claim that the
outsiders who visit New York do most
of the drinking, but Gothamites abroad
indicate by their habits that home con-
sumption has good deal to do with the
prosperity of saloon keepers in the me-
tropolis. Detroit Free Press.

If you go to William Quincy's Office,
you leara from the legend on the door
that he is lawyer whose business is
in real estate. He is himself q large real
estate owner. Tho history Of his fortune
is almost romantic. His grandfather,
the second Josiah Quincy, inherited a
considerable estate from the founde- of
the family, who was tho president os
Harvard college and otherwise distin-
guished. The grandfather some 40 or
more years ago interested himself in tne
construction of the Troy and Greenfield
railroad, part Of which is now known
as tho Hoosac Tunnel line, aud was not
able to carry out his undertakings.
He was financially embarrassed, but
did not become q bankrupt. He was
POSSESSED of a very large amount of
property, and his creditors saw that IN
time he would be able to meet all his
obligations, or that in the event of his
death his estate would do SO. The prop
erty was therefore converted into a
trust. the creditors appointing a trustee
and Mr.. Quincy another.
This trust has lasted until the present
time. but is about to be abrogated, all
the obligations having now been pro-
vided for For number of years the
present Josiah Quincy has been the princi-
pal trustee and manager Of the estate,
which will be worth s., 1000, 900 when the
trust terminates Cor. Washing

Attended, Funerals and penounoed Rum.

A singular old fellow. Austin Roberts,
who was sort of genius, died at the
town farm at East Hartford the other
day, aged II years. The two passions Of
his life were temperance and fondness
for funerals. He never missed a chance
to lecture OF She Demon Rum" or attend
funeral. During his life he had been
a purely disinterested mourner at good
many more obsequies than he was able
to remember and had delivered scores of
lectures in grandiloquent phrases in
halls or at the street corners. gust as fate
or luck would have it.
For many years he was employed by
George Reynolds, who made and sold
''hop and nectar beer" of the tame sorSe
He was a lively and eloquent drummer
and led the first firemen's pafade ever
held in Hartford. He spent his life try
ing to amuse his fellow man and mako
him ''better and purer'' and all that, and
his fellow man put him in the town poor
house in his old age.-Hartford Letter.

To Hello Across the Continent.

The longest telephone circuit in the
world is now projected by the Automat-
ic Telephone and Electric company of
Canada, which intends to lay line of
copper wires on the metallic circuit
plan from Halifax to Vancouver. This
is distance of $500 miles. Copper
is by far the best conductor, and cleo
tricians have SO far advanced their
methods that they can calculate to a
nicety what is required. The circuit
will be, of course, in sections and be
available for communication to many
intermediate points. 1t is a great and
wonderful experiment which the scien-
tific world will watch with intense inter
est. If it proves a success, there seems
to be no good reason why the instrument
cannot be used to transmit speech across
the widest oceans.-Portland Oregonian
