"'You see, said the barkeeper,
there was a drummer in here from
Buffalo, and he went broke and put up
10 pipes of this kind for his bill out OF
his sample case. I've got seven of them
left, and if you'll give me 81 I'll give
you the lot.

thought it was a snap, so | borrowed s.
and took the pipes. put up the best
one for rattle with our company the
first day the ghost walked for $l2, and
one of the girls won it. As she didn I
need pipe she put it up again and got
$40 out Of it, and l won the pipe back
on 90 cent chance | raffled it of
again the same day for So and had six
pipes left Well, sir. you'd never be-

.Ioa Choate,s Power In Court.

Sitting in the front seat, in the front
end of the front car on the Sixth avenue
elevated road, was man who looked
old, yet youthful He had a smooth face
and great deal of it. His silk hat was
tipped we'll back, giving one fair view
of his high and broad forehead He had
an excellent nose, good chin and jaw
enough to mean fight In his arms was
a bundle Of papers that might have
been legal documents. He sat very
much at ease, with his legs crossed,
and for 10 stations did not so much as
notice another person in the car. He
was bordering deeply. He did not wear
the angelic countenance of Bob Inger-
soil, but looked equally harmless as the
infdel. In bis face there was neither
guile nor malice. etthere was the one
man in this country who would dare to
override judge and jury and ask wit
ness questions that would put another
lawyer out Of court. Never in the his
tory of Jurisprudence have we seen a
witness roasted as was Russell Sage
when held up before the eyes of the
public on the skewer Of Joseph H.
Choate. No other lawyer in the city at
least would have been allowed to carry
on a comedy SO side splitting as the
Sage and His Biennial Brooches. " But
there is only one Choate, and his name
is Joe. He handles the courts about as
he likes. And yet he looks SO Innocent

Tho Peculiarly Of the "R."

A little feature to be seen in some
writings, perhaps only to be distin-
guished as a separate gesture by the and
of a magnifying glass, is the tiny stroke
which is separately placed above the
small in order to show that it is an
and to thus distinguish it from another
letter, or part of letter, which resem-
bles the when the latter is made with
out this little top stroke. AT the first
glance how insignificant does this de-
tail appearl But is it really without
meaning as a human action: think
not.
A man who habituallysakes the trou-
Bile to make clearer the meaning OF one
of his symbols at the cost of little
separate action is a man who takes pains
with his work, and who desires to do
his work well. This action, trivial as it
appears, could scarcely be done by a
slovenly or careless person. 1t Is ges'
ture of minute care and attention
qualities that in one way or another
have been of vast service TO individuals
and to mankind. Thomas Carlyle, for
example, showed his minute carefulness
by an attention to punctuation that /
have never seen excelled, and which has
rarely been equaled. Nineteenth Cen

Largest ReEImental Loss.

The largest regimental loss on either
side during the late civil war was sus-
tanned by the Twenty-sixth North Caro-
lina-Pettigrew's brigade, Heth's divi-
sion. They had full quota of 800 men
on July /, 1868. but in the single battle
of Gettysburg lost 5SS men, Sc killed
and 500 wounded, not including the
missing" Of which there were 1870.
According to Colonel W. F. Fox, in one
company, Sc strong, every man was hit,
and the orderly who made out the list
did SO while suffering from wound in
each leg. Surely those were times which
not only tried mems souls, but made

Nnpoleor's Genius In War.

The conquered Milanese were by a
magical touch proyidedwith a provi-
sional government, ready, after the
tardy assent Of the directory, to be
changed into the Transpadane republic,
under French protection. Every detail Of
administration, every official and his
functions, came under Bonaparte's di-
rection. He knew the land and its re-
sources, the people and their capacities,
the mutual relations of the surrounding
states and the idiosyncrasies of their
rulers. Such laborious analysis as his
dispatches display. such grasp both. Of
outline and detail. such absence Of con-
fusion and clearnessof vision, such lack
Of hesitance and definition Of plan,
seem to prove that either a hero or a
demon Is again on earth.
All the capacity this man had hitherto
shown, great at 1t was, sinks into inslg-
nificance when compared with the
Olympian powers he now displays and
will continue to display for years to
come. His sinews are iron, his nerves
are steel. his eyes need no sleep and his
brain no rest. What q captured Hun
Rarian veteran said Of him at Lodi is as
true of his political activity as of his
military restlessness; "He knows moth
ing of the regular rules Of war; He is
sometimes on our front, sometimes on
the flank, sometimes IN the rear. There
is no supporting such gross violation
of rules" His sense and his reason
were indeed untrammeled by human
limitations. They worked ON front, rear
and flank, often simultaneously and al
WAYS without confusion. Professor

he did the lotion OF Judge Balls OF last

talked the cost price OF the material and
that the profits did not come from 1t but
from the market value of the materials.
Both sides argued for half an hour when

Tense that an answer to the rule would be
heard later in the day.

Rev Robert Watt is handling without
gloves. md so intends. certain acts OF tho
last Legislature Last night his subject
wns divorces, and before the evening ser-
moi was concluded the members OF Scott
Church had learned something OF Inter.
est He began by saying that the laws oil
Delaware on tho divorce question were
more dsgraoeful than those Of any state
In the union. Divorces arc granted upon
almost any ground by the Legislators.
while the COURTS ouly exercise their powers
In cases Of adultery, desertion, cruelty,
felony and habltual neglect to provide.
The owl Of this method is that 1t en-
courages sooundrelism. man may
wrong his wife in many ways. 1t en-.
courages hasty, VI advised marriages, 1t
casts contempt OH the most sacred rela'
lions. There are rumors that money was
used as bribes In getting divorces. The
speaker said that he hoped. for the honor
OF the state and Legislature. that these
rumors were not true
The evil eau be cured by reducing the
number OF grounds and continuing the
granting Of divorces to the courts There
should be but three grounds: Adultery.
martial infidelity. continued brutality and
willful deserton.
In conclusion the preacher said that the
marriage relations are not held In as much
esteem, because Of the many divorces, as
| was marriage among the Romans.
