Just an Incident.

A New Yorker who looks sharply after
his interests had small yacht towed to a
Brooklyn basin for some repairs. E.e went
over that evening and found that nothing
had been done. 1t was dark, after 9
o'clock, but he promptly went to the house
Of one of the owners of the shipyard. The
man himself came to the door. In his
arms he carried baby. The caller want
ed to know why the matter had not been
properly attended to-why somebody had
not been put to work at once to strip the
yacht and to do several other things. He
was pretty severe about it too. The ship
yard man apologized for his remissness
MY baby" he said, sis i'll, and I was
careless, l am afraid. about carrying out
your directions, but I'll go right down to
the yard now and attend to tho matter
myself. You see, 1 came up here" he
added, explaining still further, ito see my
baby and left the work in the hands OF
some one else. I'm sorry you are dis
pleased"
IAN right" said the yachtsman, less
sharply. PLEASE go down as soon as you
can."
Tho next day when the New Yorker
went to tho shipyard he found everything
satisfactory.
Il see you came down last night and
attended to it yourself, he said, and then
ho asked more pleasantly, How is your
baby?''
"She died shortly after I left the house
for tho yard last night" answered the
other in low voice.

Col. Wattersoa's Invitation 10 the G. A. R.

The speech of Editor Watterson of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, inviting the
members of the G. A. r. to hold their next
national encampment, was a gem.
"Ttere was time" he said during its
delivery, "when they did not want to see
you. There was time when-without any
invitation whatever-either written or ver-
bal-without so much as an intimation of
hospitality, you insisted upon giving us the
honor of your company, and, as it turned
out, when we were but ill-prepared to
receive you. 1t were pity, now that we
are prepared, now that the lid is off
the pot and that the latch
string hangs outside the door, you
should refuse us the happiness of entertain
ing you, of greeting you, not-'With bloody
hands to hospitxble graves but as friends
and brothers, as fellow citizens, who learned
how to value one another amid scenes that
left no time or room for equivocation and
transactions applying to human virtue the

your decision may be, you will give me
credit for entire sincerity when add that

to such men-the first of many oices to be
raised, in good will and in good faith,

lie to come South to bring its knitting,
and to stay all day
Incidentally, allow me to urge that,
upon this initial visit-this forerunner of
many visits-you end the first stage of your
march, and pitch your tents and light your
campfires upon the banks of the beautiful
river. which takes its rise in these highlands,
at that point where it pauses for moment
in its journey toward the sea, to gather
fresh impulse and renew its allegiance to
national sentiments and continent IDEAS"
In concluding he eaid: 81 come to you,
today, with arms wide open, with hopes
singing in my heart, beg you to come to
us, with your arms wide open. Thank God,

AN AlSATiAN LEGEND.
Peasant of Alsace Explains q Peculiarly
to q Prussian Ofi1cer.

There is an anecdote related in O French
provincial paper, which, if true, reflects
credit on the smartness of the Alsatian
peasants, or, at all events, of the particu-
lar one whose neat reply to Prussian in
terlocutor is recorded therein. 1t appears
that in the church of Wintzenheim, vii
lage in Alsace, there is to be seen an enor-
nous silver mouse suspended near the al
tar. Recently the church was visited by
Prussian officer who, puzzled to under.
stand the signification attached to the
mouse, sought an explanation from a vii
lager present in the building. The latter
explained the legend thus:
More than century ago the whole OF
the countryside was overrun with mice.
which invaded the houses, the fields, even
the beds of the inhabitants, who were un-
able to sleep. owing to the attacks made
upon them by these unwelcome intruders.
Little children were especially tormented,
and the village Sschoolmaster, panied at
seeing numbers of distigured faces round
him, had what, according to the legend
turned out to be a happy inspiration. He
called to mind the Israelites, the serpents
whose bites We're deadly and the means tax
EN- by Moses to deliNr them from the rep
Jilcs. hclcCliHS Ou OIlls, llc CouCclNcu eiio
idea of endeavoring to rid tho locality OF
the plague of mice by casting a huge
mouse in silver, the sum required for the
purpose being raised by taxing the in.
habitants according to their means. When
sufficient sum of money had been OBJ
tained, the project being carried out, the
silver mouse was suspended to the wall Of
tho church, and from that day not a mouse
was to be met with in field or house.
The Prussian officer, when the peasant
concluded, INDUCED in hearty laugh at
the expense of the simple villager and in
quired with amazement whether it was
possible that in the present enlightened
ago there were to be found people to be-
lieve implicitly in such superstitious non
sense. ''Ah, SIR" retorted his companion,
1--WE are far from believing implicitly in
the story, for if we thought such miracle
had really taken place we should long
before now have given our last sou to make
German in gold and should have hung
him up in the church in order to get rid OF
all the rest.'
Daily Kennebec journal., 1894-09-15

DR.. Parkhurst, of New York has re-
turned from his European trip refreshed in
body and mind and is making things ex-
ceedingly uncomfortable for the knaves
who hold official stations. His latest attack
is upon the well known Recorder Smyth,
one of the most advertised men connected
with the New York Judiciary, and map
of unquestioned ability. DR.. Parkhurst
says that Recorder Smyth is and has always
been most strenuous defender of
the police. He declares that one
of two things are true. EITHER Recorder
Smyth has known all the way through that
the police department was vicious and sub
stantially rotten or he has not known it.
"If he has not known it he has been
guilty of having talked about what he was
not posted upon, or if he has known of it
he is as big rascal as any of them, and
first cousin to the police commissioners.
DR.. Parkhurst thinks that lawyer John
w. Goff, who has done such good work
as the counsel of the Lexow COM
mittee would make an excellent sue
cessor to Recorder Smyth and, in
view of the revelations already made, there
can be little reason to doubt but what the
reverend gentleman is correct in this opin-
ion. Such change would certainly be in
the interests of clean government.
