Hell III the next NOTIu do EASILY ttS tilEg
have the penitentiary in this.-Mt.
Airy News.
In response to a request, we reprint
below the famous 'Choate joke" II is
not new, but it will never be old
Joseph III. Choate and Edward Lau-
terbach, a Hebrew, were associated in
a suit short time ago, and won. As
the jury left their seats, Mr.. Lauter-
bach turned to Mr.. Choate and said:
''Choate, we won this verdict because
we happened to know more law on this
subject than our adyersaries."
"Yes?' queried Choate.
Our clients are rich, you know---a
corporation and all that, reioined
Lauterbach.
'Yes?' again queried Choate. what
do you think we ought TO charge, Lau-
terbacho''
.'Oh, $3.50 apiece"
Tut, tut" broke out Choate, impa-
siently, and he repeated, Tut. tut.
You let me handle this bill, Lauter-
bach. I'll collect it for us BOTH
A short time afterwards Mr.. Lauter-
bach was in Mr.. Choate's office in Wall
street, and Mr.. Choate handed out d
check for $1,000 as Mr.. Lauterbach's
fee in the case, andssaid:
"Lauterbach, what do you think of
Shat?"
Mr.. Lauterbach looked at the check,
stroked his beard for an instant, and,
looking intently at Choate, replied:
Almost thou persuadest me to be

The (harlnffa A..
Southern Railway employs $50 men in
Charlotte, and that their pay aggre-
gates $4,000 per year. These men
are employed in the passenger and
freight depots and in the two train
yards, and, mustered together, they
make quite regiment. The Southern
uses the check system in paying its
hands. Once d month a copy of the
Charlotte payroll is sent there, and
with il is a check for each yyage-earner
The checks are turned over TO the men
who receipt for them and then go to
the bank, where the money is passed
out This system not only avoids con-
fusion, but it is the quickest and safest
way, and at the same time it stimu-
kates the business instincts of the men
and inspires in them principles of
thrift and desire TO become good bus
mess men themselves
The experience of the ages, it is said.
: crystalizes into proverbs. From these
we can gather, at least in cursory
way, an idea of how women are re-
garded by various nationalities, What
must have been the conditions which
developed the Russian woman, when
masculine thought hands down from
generation to generation such sayings
as these.
Long hair, shore memory.
Love thy wife as thy soul shake
her like plum tree
Always beat your wife before din
ner; also before supper
The dog is more intelligent than wo-
man, for he never barks at his master.
Twice is woman dear-when she
comes 10 the house and when she
leaves ii.

crease Of the rate for "call' money in
New York and the increasing offerings
of commercial bills, AS soon as the
rate for money went ,up drawers of
bankers exchange cabled to their cor
respondents in London asking whether
they should cover their short" ex-
change or keep the money here. The
reply was that the money might be
retained here, which was i'm effect the
same as making a sterling loan. Ex-
change fell, and of course all those
who We're short quickly took advan-
tage of the decline and covered as much
as possible.
The rate for "calr money yesterday
in New York was per cent, and many
loans that We're marked up to ~ per
cent. last week still remain at that
figure, the, expectation being that the
rates will increase this week. Although
the rate for "calr' money is still much
below what the New York bankers
would like to see it, yet it is believed
it is high enough, as compared with
the prevailing rate in London, to pre-
vent the further shipment of gold.

southern newspaper. commenting upon
these words, says that this is the atti-
tude which will lead to the permanent
advancement of the negro, Attention
is also drawn to the fact that, though
the South has frequently been accused
of injustice to the negro, it is in truth
the section of the country where the
colored man has the best opportunity.
He is there recognized by organized la
Dor without question, and all the trades
are there freely open to him if he will
learn them. In this respect the paper
says the prejudice against the negro is
nothing like as strong in the South as
1t is IN the other parts of the country.

IT
IN INTERESTING DICKER.

The latest arrangement to swap
United States dollars for an English
title has set the whole world talking
that Is the whole world that can read
and that cares for the swapping of
dollars and titles. There will be some
difference of opinion concerning which
of the swappers will have the best of
the dicker. The Duke of Marlborough
will have a fine young woman of good
American make, with foreign finish,
and he will have fine pile of dollars
of American make that are only wait
ing to have their foreign finish. With
out thinking twice many will hastily
say that the duke will have by far the
best of the deal. But hold on! Just
notice for minute what Miss Van
derbilt will have. She will have Charles
Richard John Spencer Churchill, Duke
of Marlborough, Marquis of Blandford,
Earl of Sunderland, Earl of MARI
borough, Brown-Spencer of Worleigh-
ton and Browns Churchill of Sandbridge,
Prince of the Holy Roman Empire,
Prince of Mindlehein in Swabia and
Lieutenant in the Oxford Hussars, for
one thing. She will have the title of
Duchess and she will be tenth In the
line when she walks with her duke in
the line of dukes and duchesses. And
she will have the supreme satisfaction
Of being considerably nearer the throne
than any other United States woman
who has managed to get into the line
of dukes and duehesses. What more
can she want? When such things as
these can be bought for money is it ex-
travagant to buy them?

Woman's Dress in Mohammedan Ha-
rFrom the London oueen,l

GFrom the London Queenl
An account of "a visit paid to the
zenana or harem of a Mohammedan
Nawab in a native state may not be
without interest.
A carriage and mounted escort of
soldiers We're sent at eight O'Clock one
morning to convey us to the castle. A
gate in the immense walls of the COM
pound led us into the ill-kept gardens;
passing from these into the courtyard
and through long colonnades and unit
| ty passages, we We're conducted finally
into the zenana. A large and lofty
room, with walls on three sides and a
colonnade opening on to a courtyard
was the apartment in which we We're
| received. Chairs We're brought for our
accommodation, but, with the excep-
ton of the mating on the floor, the
place was without furniture.
Women, some young and tall, others
old and wrinkled, passed and repassed
while we waited for the Begun to APP
pear. They were all dressed in the
same fashion. Trousers of light-col-
ored damasks or satin clothed them
from the waist. These pantaloons were
baggy above, but so close fitting from
the knee downward that they have to
be sewn up after they are on, They
are unsewn and removed once a week
for the bath. A short bodice reaching
just below the breast is worn, and then
round the body and over the shoulders
and head is wound the sari CT muslin
or silk, which falls in graceful folds
from the hips and shoulders. The Be
gum kept us waiting, and we We're told
the reason was that she was putting on
all her jewels to do us honor
Presently she came ina small,
young woman, with an oval, immobile
face, and smooth, black hair. She wore
tight trousers of a rich green damask
and scarf of cloth of gold; on her bare
ankles were anklets of uncut emeralds
and diamonds, said to be worth forty
thousand rupees; on her arms were a
large number of jeweled bangles and
armlets; on her fingers rings of heauti-
full rubies and diamonds; round her
neck We're strings of fine pearls, and,
suspended by studs of large diamonds
in the outer rim OF the ears, she wore
across the hair, at the back of the
head, pearls, emeralds and rubies pref
| tily set as "a kind of collarette The
| ears were pierced in several places to
allow rings and jewels to be inserted,
and in the nose a, small diamond was
worn. The little jeweled lady did not
| speak English, and, after we had adj
| mired her jewelry. conversation soon
came to an end.
| Her wee baby was brought in dressed
in colored silk, with a gold laced cap on
its little bald head. The Nawab Joined
us. and there was much lively chat
over the object of our visit to the state
| In such a zenana the most rigorous Sc
clusion of the wives is enforced-wives,
1 say, for in this zenana the Begun
was the chief, and the only wife, and
was married the day after the death of
the first Begun.

A coon BEGINNING.

The Englishmen are not all such quit
evident that some of them have had
lizard work to keep from expressing their
honest opinion of his performance. Some
of the real English sportsmen are I'M
willing to leave international yachting
in the shape he has left it in, and so
they have promptly begun negotiations
for another yacht race. They show the
spirit that animates them by their an
nouncement that the challenge will be
absolutely unconditional.
Good The people Of this country will
heartily approve such challenge and
| its prompt acceptance in the spirit in
which it is offered They don't want
| any such victory as that of Defender.
| They would prefer a good, square de-
| feat. But, all the same, they don't ex-
| pect 1t. They have unbounded spnfi-
dence in Yankee ingenuity and the
American eagle.
The Distant Shore is to be the rather
awkward name of the next English
| yacht that will try to rule the wave 1t
| is not known yet whether or not De-
fender will be put against her. but as
Defender has shown herself to be a
lpretty fair sailer it is probable that she
will have another trial. If she does
more confidence will be felt In her than
there was before the big fizzle. The
English had us well scared, and the re-
suit was all the more ridiculous on that
| account.
The Prince of Wales is said to be TAX
ling hand in the new deal. So far the
| proceedings are certainly of the royal
order, and they will undoubtedly be roy
ally responded to. A fair race, with no
jockeying, clubbing, or squabbling, is
what is wanted Everybody has had
enough of the Lord Dunraven idea of
sport. OF course the people of this coun-
| try will expect to see The Distant Shore
become The Distanced Shore, but if the
distancing happens to be on the other
leg there will be no grumbling.

The DEVILS Pump and Mcsweeney's Gun
From the 81 To,is Ranuhlic |

The DEVILS Pump and McSweeney's Gun.
From the st. Louis Republic.l
One of the greatest combinations of
natural and artificial curiosities on the
coast of California is called the DEVILS
Pump. The pholas, or shell miners,
species of mollusk which excavate i'm
mense caverns in the very hardest
stone, have tunnelled the entire coast
in the vicinity of the pump. Water
rushes into these caverns with each
succeeding tide flow, and in this partic-
ular case finds vent through a cylindri-
cal opening some distance from the wa
ter's edge 1t is estimated that this
hole, which connects with the sea cav
ern, is seventy-fve to one hundred feet
in depth. Every time the tide rushes
into the cavern beneath, the pump"
throws water to the height of a full one
hundred feet above the mouth of the
opening. The Indians formerly called
it by a name which signified fairy wa
ter gum" but the irreverent white man
have given it the title of the Devils
Pump" and by that name it will prob
ably be known to future generations.
There is a similar curiosity near Horn
Head, county Donegal, Ireland, where a
hole in the rocks is called McSweeney' s
Gun. Like the California oddly, it is
on the seacoast, and has connections
with submarine cavern. When the
north wind blows and the sea- is at
half flood" the wind and waves enter
the cavern and send up immense col
umns of water through the gun"
Travellers who have visited Horn Head
and vicinity say that each charge of
water sent from the 'gun" is accompa-
MED by an explosion that can be heard
for miles.
