said Washington attorney to Il Wash

II appeared for the plaintiff and it
must be confessed that the evidence
failed to establish his claim. Ipresent-
ed the matter before the justice of the
peace in the best light knew how, but
had very little hope of securing the
verdict. My client, when finished,
whispered to me that he would say few
words if / were willing and, considering
the case lost, L consented. It was the
most unique speech I ever heard and it
won the case. He said:
esquire, brought this suit and the
evidence, except my own, is against
me. / don't accuse anyone of lying,
squire, but the witnesses are the most
lot of fellows l ever saw.
You know me, squire. Two years ago
you sold me horse for sound that was
MS blind as q bat. made the trade and
stuck to it and this is the first time L
have mentioned it. When you used to
buy grain you stood on the scale when
the empty wagon was weighed, but I
never said q word. Now, do you think
I am the kind of a man to pick up II
rumpus and sue Il fellow unless he has
done me wrong?"
at took just five minutes for the
Justice to decide for the plaintiff"

An old story revived by the late his

Joseph Bartlett, an American lawyer,
who went to England shortly after the
close of the revolutionary war. One
evening he strayed into Il thcater and
found the actors performing Il species
OF satire on the war. \ company o.
American soldiery was introduced-a
ragged, motley set - armed with
scythes, hammers and soldering irons.
In contrast there moved across the
stage Il troop of British warriors III
fine gay trappings and glittering arms.
The difference was amusing, and the
British audience laughed. In the midst
of the merrimcnt Lawyer Joe arose
and shoutcd Long live his majesty,
King George of England, whipped by
tailors, tinkers and cobblcrs!" There
was profound hush. For second it
seemed rs though the American would
pay for his temcrity with his life, but
admiration for his pluck won the day,
and the ominous silence was broken
with n ringing cheer.

Adventurous Career of the Murder
ed French NobIeman.

From the New York Herald
The Marquis de Mores who has met so
tragic a fate in Northern Africa, was only
81 years of age. but he had already had a
varied and exciting career. He was well
known in this country, where numerous
friends viii learn Of his death with sincere
regret
Antoine Manca de Nauombrosa, Marquis
de Mores. came Of an old Spanish family
settled in the Island Of Sardinia. He was
born in Paris on June IL. 1855. In 1876 he
entered the French military academy OF

voked that way, the cowboy, nicknamed
Broad Back Morris, because of his unu-
Sually broad shoulders mounted his pony,
and with dig of his spurs, began to show
the Frenchman how to ride. His compan-
ions followed his example, and in a couple
OF minutes they were circltng around the
marquis firing off their Winchesters and
using the most insulting language. Wheth-
er the marquis didn't understand what
they meant l don't know; at all events,

The marquis, despite the fact that he
married the daughter of a Jewish banker,
was a pronounced anti-Semite and close
friend of NJ. Drummond of the "Libre Pa
role" He was a noted duellist and killed
Capt. Mayer on the field of honor. AL
most as strong as his hatred of the Jews
was his hatred of the English, and the
excursion into Africa which has cost him
his life was undertaken in the hope Of or
ganizing an effective resistance to the
Soudan expedition on the part Of the ma
tives of the interior. DR.. Henri Faure

the report of 9. conversation which he had

whose existence he firmly believed, that
the marquis started for the interior of

I notice that fashionable women, says
a writer In the Philadelphia Times, are re-
turning to the semi-savagery of wearing
jewels in their ears, a custom which was
supposed to have gone out with the crinO-
line. AS the last-named abomination has
revisited glimpses Of the moon in the i'm
proved disguise Of our becoming wide
skirt, so the other will be probably revived
In a less eccentric manner than that set
forth in pictures Of fifty years ago.
Adjoining ourselves with such gauds as
gold and Jewels IS one of the Oldest vani-
ties on earth, and will probably never die
the death, even under the unornamental
influence Of the newer woman. Some new
bangles have tiny watches dangling
