Boston lawyer, who recently died in
that city, aud who more than once
refused a seat on the Massachusetts,
supreme court bench, that while he
was arguing casa one day before
Chief Justice Gray the latter inter
rupted the course of the argument
with the impatient remark: ''Mr.
Paine. you know that is not law"
The nature and manner of the inter
ription wsre of kind to throw even
the most self-po ssessei advocate OF
his balance. Mr.. Paine, however.
without any outward man Hesitation q
annoyance or embarrassment, replied
with simple dignity, 1T was law until

with his argument.

There recently died in Louisiap2 an

something over fifty years. Uncle
Nuggie seemed brokenhearted over

his own color, who taking him for a.
ghost, fed from him. He, however,
told what he had seen, and the neigh
bors went to Uncle Mug y:e's cab anl
found him engaged in rubbing the
feet of the corpse with mustard, and
trying to force down the rigid thro at
hot whisky aud water
The old man said he hal been
warmed in dream that his wife was
only in a trance, aad that if he woul
fetch her home and use measures to
revive her she would come to life
again. His grief when the body was
again taken from him was pitiful. and
he seemed liable to attend the
second burial. But, as the coffin was
being lowered into the grave, Uncle
Nuggie suddenly apparel. and,
breaking through the party about the
grave, threw himself into the hollow

Reading Shakespeare.

If Mr.. Dana would sound the tocsin and tell
men and women Of all grades Of life what
pleasure and profit they might secure by read
Ing Shakespeare's plays, he would be Il bene-
factor to his race.-M. p II. In The Tribune.
Things that are better than pleas
ure, more valuable than profit, they
might thus secure. The soul would
be illuminated, the intellect broad
ened, the spiritual nature exalted,
the affections refined, the life digni-
fed, the whole Of the cherishable
powers of manhood or womanhood
Inspired and augmented. The infu-
ence of Shakespeares genius is enno-
bling. 1t pervadeth one and com
passeth all; it dealeth with the visi-
Bile world and the invisible, the right
and the wrong, the craft and the
stuff, the passions and the reason,
the images of form and their shad-
ows, the beautiful and the hateful,
the specters, the chimeras and what
ever else there be in SPACE, time or
fancy. We tell all men and women
that there is no other one like unto
Shakespeare. When he entereth the
mind and taketh possession of the
heart, there can be no place in the
thought or in the habit for aught
that is mean.-Charles A. Dana.

Russian Etiquette.

If you invite a Russian to dinner,
make a point of offering him before
he takes his seat at the table certain
hors d'euvres, and above all do not
forget to accompany these with q
dram of spirits. The stronger the
latter tho higher the Russian guest
will esteem his entertainer, who
must pour the cognac out himself,
not into a liquor glass, but into a
bordeaux glass, and it is indispensa-
BILE that he should drain the entire
bumper to the health of his guest be-
fore the latter has time to put his
glass to his lips. Each time you make
a speech at dinner, or at any repast,
be careful to have your glass filled to
the brim before you begin speaking,
and the moment you have concluded
your remarks drain your glass to tho
very last drop at gulp, since that if
the slightest heeltap remains it means
in the eyes of the Russians that your
remarks have been insincere. Petite

Tho Tale Of tho Telephone.

The first telephone that was ever
used was not electrical, nor was it q
scientific instrument in any sense OF
the term. A little moro than so years
ago the employees of large manu-
factory beguiled their leisure hours
by kite flying, Kites large and small
went up daily, and the strife was to
see who could get the largest. The
twine which held them was the
thread spun and twisted by the la
dies Of the village.
One day to the tale Of the largest
Kite was attached a kitten, sewed In
a canvas bag, with netting over
the mouth to give it air. When the
kite was at its greatest height-2o0
feet or more-the mewing could be
distinctly heard by those holding tho
string. To the clearness Of the at
mosphere was attributed the hearing
of the kittens voice. This is the first
account we remember Of speaking
along a lne.-Shefield Telegraph.

Waiting For Dead Mems Shoes.

Waiting for dead mems shoes is an
old proverbial expression and in con-
nection with army officers and their
wives still has a remarkable signifi-
cance. Said an officers wife a few
evenings since: Il do dislike to take
up an army register and scan the per-
sonals to see if any one outranking
the captain is i'll or to keep an eye
upon the old officers and figure out
when they will be retired. But I'm
not as bad as some others. Why.
they get life insurance tables and
study mortuary probabilities to see
when an officer may be promoted by
reason of death among officers out
ranking him. If some officers die as
they should according to rule, the
captain will be a general before he is
80 years old. Isn't it mean business
to think about2 But we get paid
back, for when my husband is old
all the rank and file will be indulg-
ing in the same kind of speculation
and wondering why old General
Blank doesn't die. ."-Cincinnati T1ib-
