CARLYLE AND HIS WAYS.
He Was Terrible in His Old Age i
Crossed, but Enjoyed Fun.

He Was Terrible in His Old Age if
Crossed, but Enjoyed Fun.
The injunctions left by Mr.. Froude in
his will respecting the destruction OF all
the papers in his possession relating to Mr..
and Mrs. Carlyle revive many memories
respecting the Usage of Chelsea" During
the Russian-Turkish war Mr.. Carlyle's
sympathies were, as was well known,
sternly Russian, and any mention of the
unspeakable Turk reused his wrath to
terrible extent. 1t was my good fortune 10
see a great deal OF him in those days, and
one night We met at the dinner-table of a
very great common friend, when he was
specially wrathful at some incident which
had occurred in connection with the con-
fiict then going on.
To contradict him or argue with him
was useless, as it would only fan the
flames; so we all sat in silence listening to
the torrent of vehement, angry abuse of
the unfortunate Turks, who were then per-
forming prodigies of valor against over
whelning odds. He harangued US for
some time and received no response. The
growlings of the thunder became lower
and lower, and at last ceased with loud
laugh and chuckle at the conspiracy of
silence, of which no one enjoyed the fun
more than himself. He exclaimed, We'll,
WE'LL l see | am going to have the jaw ali
TO myself, ana quickly Cnanged the sub
ject, choosing another, on which we could
all join in more or less modified agree
ment.
If not contradicted land at his age very
few cared 10 irritate the OLD many he soon
relinquished his soliloquy and fell into the
conversation around him. putting great
clouds Of smoke from his pipe and growl-
ing remarks OF approval or dissent.
1 always remember the last time l saw
him, but a very short time before his death.
He was lying on the sofa in the room so
well known to US all; his goddaughter, "a
little girl OF some years, who had brought
him par of warm gloves to wear. stand
ing beside him.
He was very weary, and very tired OF
life, and the contrast was striking be-
tween the child on the threshold of life,
with toys, its pleasures and its feebleness
still unfolded, standing before the aged
philosopher, whose dim eye and shrunk
form told of life struggle WEAKNESS and
unsatished longings-who had drunk the
cup of life TO its dregs; who had won fame,
renown; who had left name that would
live in all time; who yet longed for death
with a passionate longing.
1t was one OF the most dramatic pictures
one had ever seen, and one that could never
pass from the memory of those who saw
it,-Lady Jeune in Realm.

JOHNNY BANKS FATHER.
A Kentucky Incident in Which Small
Boy Got Bad Apple.

Boy Got Bad Apple
A Kentucky school committee whose
members had invitations to a hanging at
the county Jail struck town just before
the district school was dismissed for the
day. With view of combining business
with their pleasure trip the committee
dropped in on the schoolma am and put
a few questions to the scholars. The an
swers were so brilliantly incorrect that the
teacher was prompted by her pupils appar-
ent ignorance to tell the committeeman
that ali the little ones were worked up over
the coming event at the jail. Then she
dismissed the scholars.
But the scholars instead OF trooplng on
as usual, hung about the yard watching
with Jealous eyes the proud and arrogant
bearing OF a small boy who strutted
around among them like a king in the
midst of his courtiers. His every action
was observed, and it was apparent that
the greater part of the girls hung upon
his words and glances. Eventually one
of them offered a ripe red apple TO the
boy, who took it without thanks and with
cool superiority. His action and the queer
behavior of the other children aroused the
curiosity of one of the visitors, and he
turned to the schoolrna am, asking:
@Who is that arrogant small boy?"
The teacher looked, and then with 3it-
tie air of wonder, answered:
why, don't you know himP That's
Johnny Banks. It's his father VINO is going
to be hanged ?''-New York World.

A BRAVE COLONEL.
An Indian Attack Repulsed by the Use
of the Breechloaders.

An Indian Attack Repulsed by the Use
of the BreechIoaders.
Lieutenant-Colonel James Powell once
performed feat of valor near Fort Phil
Kearny, u. T., against the Sioux Indians
under Red Cloud. Colonel Powell was at
that very time suffering from wounds re-
ceived in Georgia during the war. With
twenty-seven soldiers and four civilians he
was hemmed in by 5000 braves in corral
hastily constructed out of wagon beds
laid on the ground, end to end.
The first charge was from 800 savage
horsemen, who poured down from the sur
rounding hills. The white men were
armed with the newly invented breech-
leaders, which were unknown to their foes.
Ihey waited until the Indians had come
within thirty yards of their improvised
fort. Then there was sheet of fame and
roar. and like dry leaves before gust of
WIND the Indians were swept aside to the
right and the left, leaving the field covered
with dead and dying. And now the en-
tire band on foot circled the corral. Masses
ers, renewed the attack. Again and again
they were beaten back by the intangible
and invisible foe.
The fight continued from o'clock in the
morning until 8 P. N. Even before as
slstance arrived from the fort the In
olans, Daffied, awestruck and bleeding,
were in full retreat. They have since
learned the use of the breechloader, but
the survivors remember still that awful
day, when the gods seemed to be fighting
On the side of mere handful of white
men.
To-day Colonel Powell lives in Peoria,
Ill, mere wreck of his former SELF Par
alysis has followed as result of wounds
received, not in the Indian but in the Civil
war. He is wheeled around in peram-
bulator by an Northumberland.

To-day at Klinknerville the Bohemians
play the Alamedas in their postponed cup
match. The greatest of interest is being
taken in this match, as the winner will be
in the lead for the trophy, the two teams
being now equal, with four points to their
credit. Unfortunately the Bohemians will
be without the valuable services OF Web

under doctors orders, while the Alamedas
will put their best team in the field, Slo-

not particularly pressed to. still the Bo-

are a much moderated team.

NO JURISDICTION.
An Opinion Relating to Projections of
Buildings.

An opinion has just been delivered by
the attorney for the District upon the ques-
ton, Must building regulation affecting
projections be subordinated to provision
in deed forbidding projections?" The at
torney holds that it is not.
The case which called forth this opin-
ion was one in which purchaser of a
lot on Howard street. Columbia Heights,
literally followed the stipulation in his
deed that when the house was erected 1t
should not be within thirty feet of the
street line. In other words he put all of
his building within the area mentioned in
the deed and did not avail himself of the
building regulation which permitted pro-
jections. A neighbor comes along and puts
a broad Interpretation upon the stipulated
clause and holds that 1t means the build
ing exclusive of the projections. The COM
plant of the gentleman who raised the
point is that if his neighbor is allowed to
build his projections it will work a great
hardship to him.
Attorney Thomas, in his opinion, says
that as far as covenants in the deeds OF
property are concerned, it is am after of
contract between owners, with which the
public is not concerned. The inspector of
buildings can only take notice of the lines
of the street so far as public property is
concerned. If the neighbor is violating tho
covenants of his deed he has remedy in
the courts.
