His Marking CInfhes

Lord Peterborough once reproved 0 bricklayer for coming to be sworn in his usual habiliments. When you have to appear before this court, it is your bound en duty to be clean and decent in your ap- pearance." Upon my life, if it comes to that said the bricklayer, ''I'm every bit as well dressed as your lordship." How do you mean, sirf" exclaimed the chief justice angrily. Well, it's just this-you come here in your working clothes, and come in mine" It was very seldom, how ever, that anybody got the better of Lord Peterborough. A witness, dressed in a fantastical manner and who had given dis creditable evidence, was asked in cross ex animation what he was. II employ my self he said, ''as a surgeon But does any one else," inquired the chief justice, employ you as a urgeonf''-Yankee Blade

He Did Not Care So Much About the
 Money as the Chance to Kick.
 When Mir. Benjamin Billiwink looked at tho change he had in his pocket after getting off the street car that brought him down town, he found that the conductor had passed plugged ! cent piece on him.
 MT. Billiwink did not care for the value of tho coin, but he had the average Amer ican dislike to being ovCrrcachcd, and Inc put that plugged coin hack into his pocket and bidcd his time.
 In the evening he climbed aboard n north bound street car, and when the conductor came round Mir. Billiwink handed him that identical ] cent piece.
 Tho conductor looked at it and handed 1t back
 II can't take it." he said. It's plug gcd."
 "Ycs." replied Mir. Billiwink, Il know it. It's plugged. But you'll take it."
 ''I reckon not If I turn in that plug my own pocket, and can't afford it. You eivo mo good money, or can't carry you"
 Then Mir Billiwink rose up in his wrath.
 Yes, you will, he snortcd. and you II take that nickel too! Look here, I got that from conductor No 437 on this line this very morning. HCrc's the rest of tho change just as he gave it to me. -
 II can't help that. Two got my orders and'-

If Mir YCrkCs gives out n plugged nickel, hc ought tu tako it back, nnG if he passes one on me he's got to takc it back, by ginger. That's all there is of il. Now, you can take this or nothing. It's all you'll get"
 Mir. Billiwink was determined not to be put of that car without n fight. and he braccd himself for the coming shock. Well, " said the conductor after reflect ing moment, '' I can't take that piece of money, but guess you haven't got very far to ride, and you can ride without pay ing anything. Youll get even that way. Will that bc satisfactory" 1 Mir Billiwink wiltcd. 1 Thunder" ho said If you rc not go- ing to kick harder than that, I'll give you i n good nickel.

When the Clergy Used the Mace.

Tho mace was originally potent wcap- on of offcnsC, originating doubtless in that earliest and most common weapon, the wooden club. It was an essential part of n knights aCCoutcTmcnt, being useful at close quarters. For rrady convenience it was hung at his snddlebow. Says m an cicnt poem
 And with his h, avy nuIsc of stclr
 Then h" gave the kyng his dele.
 Tho bc$aguc and baston wcro varied forms of the mace. The mace used on horseback w:Is small weapon, usually of steel That used on foot was much longer and commonly of wood, with head armed with iron rings and spikes. IL was ear ricd by tho escort Of magistrates and uth- CTS Rs n rCndy protection against violence. As society quiCtCd down and its original use fell into al'cyancc. the thing assumed tho ornamental appearance it now has, it being now carried mCrr honorary form.
 The ancicnts' usc of tho macc introduces us to n remarkable instance of CCClcsias- tical casuistry. The clergy was forbidden to shed blood, and as thus the sword was inhibited it might have ltccn thought was sufficient to keep them from the hattie field. But not so. They adopted the mace. Though they could not cut n man throat, yet might they break his head.

Bits of Good Nature.

Of course men do not receive because they do not want such services, and women who trav- q with men, or even two or three together, seldom invite them, but for viewing hu- man nature cn beau commend me to a long journey by women of middle age, of no beauty, and travelling as chCaply as possible alone.--''L Life of Frances Power CObbC.'

Weather Forecast. Raini warmer high southwest wipds
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1894-03-31

HERE are a few facts for Union
veterans, says the New York Recorder
(Rep.): On December 81, 1898,
there were SI1,572 unsettled claims
pending in the Pension Bureau,
244,7o5 of which have been examined
and rejected, but are always open to
further consideration on additional
evidence. This leaves 567,S66 claims
that have never yet been taken out of
the pigeonhole for examination. An
other fact Is that for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1892, Commissioner
Raum issued 2I1,5S9 certificates,
while Commissioner Lochren issued in
the first SIX months of the present
fiscal year only 5000. This shows
that under Harrison pensions were
granted more than four times as fast as
under Cleveland. But there is another
side of this work in which Judge
Lochren tar surpasses General Raum.
1t is in reflections. For six months,
viz.-from June to November, 1892,
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Raum re
jected 4S,3e8 claims and allowed
IIo,266. Commissioner Lochren, for
the corresponding months in 1898,
allowed S7,755, but rejected 673S3.
In other words, Raum admitted four
cases just about as often as he rejected
one. But under the Cleveland ad-
ministratlon the order is entirely
reversed and two cases are rejected
almost as often as one is admitted.

THE predictions of the Weather
Bureau OF severe, cold wave for the
Eastern and Middle States have been
verified with unusual alacrity, and
it is probable tnat the damage that
is apprehended from the change will
be equal to the highest estimate.
In the region comprehended by
the scope of the severe weather the
early orchards were about to burst
into bud as the result OF the gentle
weather OF the past few weeks. II
is inevitable that the loss should be
heavy, as, in spite OF the jests at the
peach and other crops, they are
easily damaged by sudden and
severe change of atmospheric con-
ditions. 1t will be in order to
credit the stories of a ruined peach

dealers from Baltimore and wholesale
grocers of Washington in a body
have waited on Senator Gibson to
protest against the Senator's amend
ment to the District bill prohibiting
grocery jobbing houses from hand

tried to show the Senator that il
would be unwarrantable interference
with commerce to enact this bill into

opposition to it, which will be taken

THE Iowa House OF Representatives,

THE Iowa House OF Representatives,
has passed the bill prohibiting the
artificial colo,ing of imitation butter
and cheese, and the sentiment against
that fraudulent method OF securing a
market is so strong that the Senate
will probably concur without Debate.
The justice OF the act is obvious; but
something more than its enactment
and approval will be required il i; is TO
prevent the bogus coloring which it
forbids, The Eastern States which
have adopted somewhat similar laws
are still eating more or less OF the
prescribed foods.

Effects of the Cold Snap.

Reports from reliable sources through
out MARYLAND show general damage to
fruit and clover, although the exact
extent of tho damage cannot be esti,
mated, since a reasonable margin must
always be allowed for exaggeration. 10
Kent county, whore the clover interests
overshadow the peach crop in import
ance serious injury is reported. In the
different counties of the Eastern shore
peach growers express different opinions,
some anticipating an absolute failure,
others only partial failure from the cold
snap. Early gardens generally have been
destroyed, and the apple crop is the only
one that survives the general ruin, al
small fruits having been seriously
injured.

every factory sending smoke and fire
out of its chimneys. l want to see
every man and his family we'll clothed
/ want to see his children well fed

are the result of the fear Of the
capitalist to invest his money in

hope of the purchasing merchant
that he may buy cheaper when Free
Trade prevails and money is stag
