Twice Told Tales.

There is a story told of Paul Petrovits,
car of Russia, to the effect that one day
when reviewing some troops, he was SO in
dignant at the bad craftsmanship of one of
his officers that ihe commanded him to re-
sign his commission on the spot and to re-
tire to his estate. A staff officer who was
riding by the side of the monarch informed
him that the gentleman in question had no
estate to which to retire, whereupon the
eccentric car is reported to have said,
''Then give him one"
This remark of the czar sadly lacks origi-
nality, for many years before the son of
Catherine II was born, the following story
was told of Betterton, the actor: One even
ing Colley Cibber, by missing his cue and
giving a message at the wrong moment,
spoiled one of Betterton's best scenes. So
soon as he passed the wings Betterton, in
rage, said to the prompter, " Forfeit,
Master Colley." Cant be done,'' replied
the prompter, "Master Colley has no sal
ary." ''Well, then, put him down for 10
shlllings week, cried tbs enraged man
ager, and forfeit him 5. London Stand

Regulations FOR a ship of the Hansa.

Regulations Nor ship of the Hansa.
When a ship Of the Hansa had accom-
plished her first half day passage after hav
ing left the port, the captain (schiffer)
gathered all the crew and passengers on
the deck and hold the following language
as reported by a contemporary:
'As we are now at the mercy of God and
the waves" he said, teach one must be
equal to each other. And as we are sur
rounded by storms, high waves pirates
and other dangers, we must keep a strict
order, that we may bring our voyage to a
good end. That is why we shall pronounce
the prayer for a good wind and good sue
cess, and, according to marine law we
shall name the occupyers of the judges
seats" (schoffenstellen). Thereupon the
crew elected a vogt and four scabini, to
act as their judges.
At the end Of the voyage the vogt ard
the scabini abdicated their functions and
addressed the crew as follows: What has
happened on board ship we must pardon
unto each other and consider as dead (todt
und absein lassen). What we have judged
right was for the sake of justice. This is
why we beg you all, in the name Of hon
est justice, to forget all the animosity one
may nourish against another, and to swear
on bread and salt that he will not think of
it in bad spirit. If any one, however,
considers himself wronged, he must appeal
to the land vogt and ask justice from him
before sunset" On landing, the stock
with the fredfnes was handed over to the
vogt of the seaport for distribution among
the poor.-Prince krapotkine in Nine

County Commissioners Draw Upon the
Town For Half the Purchase!Price OF
the Newton Lot.
County Commissioners, Durham and Lind
ley came to Waterbury this morning and
Immediately drew a sight draft on Town
Treasurer Merriman for SO, 000 the towns
share OF the purchase price of the Newton
property. The draft was honored, the
commissioners got the money, they placed
their little $40, 900 with it and Lewis b.
Newton in few minutes was made $20,-
600 richer There was no attempt to re-
strain the town treasurer by an injunction
and many think that the selectmen were
putting up big bluff when they obtained
an outside legal opinion as to the towns
liability in the matter.
The courthouse committee convened at
half past eleven and only very little bus
mess was done.
Commissioners Durham and Lindley
paid Mr. Newton in the presence of the
committee and the deed of the property
from Lewis B. Newton and Julia n. New
ton was given into the county commission
ers' possession.
Chairman Rice said he had received let
tiers from architects outside of the state
asking to be allowed to make plans for the
new conrt house. The chairman was in
structed to notify them that the architects
of New Haven county were sufficient to
compete. The architects are supposed to
submit their plans by next Saturday
morning at nine O'Clock. They are sup
posed, also, 20 have estimates as TO the
cost and possibly samples of the granite
which will be used.
1t was voted that the cellar be ten feet
deep and clear and the underpinning show
four feet clear.
Ila eece.al talk it was understood that
only responsible contractors bids would
tie considered. All, however, would be
allowed to bid. The building is supposed
to be completed by February l,
None of the selectmen could be found
to-day, but Clerk Mcmahon made state
ment in answer to the enquiry as to
whether or not all town orders were not
signed by the selectmen, and
as to the right of the town
| treasurer to pay out money
without their orders He said that he
thought in this case the act of the legisla.
ture authorizing the building of the court
house also provided that the county com.
missionerS could draw on the town treas,
urer for the towns part of the
money to be expended il
erecting the building. Attorney O'Nell
when seen on the matter laughed and said
Certainly the act provides that the county
Commissioners have that power. The
selectmen have nothing to do with it.
| understand they were striving to get GU
an injunction, but the order for the money
was i'll before eight O'Clock this morning
and the money was forthcoming.
