TRICKS OF MEMORY. :

Come Amusing Franks the Capricious jade
Has Played.
Some one has forcibly remarked that
proper names escape from the memory as
easily as creased pigs and illustrates the
remark with an anecdote concerning Joe
Jefferson, who never forgot his lines, but
has an imperfect recollection Of names
Jefferson had been introduced to General
Grant at time when that distinguished
soldier was the lion of the social world,
and the popular actor was much impressed
with the personality of the hero. A few
hours later, as he went up in his hotel
elevator, rugged looking man, with q
military bearing, bowed pleasantly to him
and made an observation regarding the
speed Of the elevator, when Jefferson said:
~ beg your pardon. Your face Is very
familiar, but I cannot recall your name"
"Grant, " was the laconic but perfectly
courteous reply.
81 got off at the wrong floor" said JEFF
ferson, "for fear would ask him next Il
he had ever been in the war;
A favorite trick Of capricious memory
is to substitute some other name for the
one wanted, process due to assimilation.

suggested passenger, and they said that
was just what they did mean, but they
knew it had something to do with Penn
sylvania, which was impressed upon their
memories as the keystone State
Jefferson did worse than to forget the
names of other people-he sometimes for
got his own. He called at postofacein q
small place and asked the clerk:
"Any mail for mef''
"What namep''

Let me think. Why, I am to play Rip
Van Wrinkle tonight at your hal1!''

eyes, Jefferson-certainly. Thanksp'
and, receiving his mail, the actor went
away happy.
A good story is told Of an excellent
woman who had this fata faculty of mis-
constituting names. Her daughter was ex-
pecting caA from gentleman, and she
impressed upon her mother the fact thlt
his name was very simple one and cay
to remember-Cowdry. The mother "
peated it until she was sure she could not
possibly forget it, and on the evening when
he called hurried forward to meet him,

THE vIotLANcIA SAILED.
Captain General Weyler Backed down by
Consul General Lee.

New Orleans, La, October 20.-A Key
says that when the Ward lins American
steamer VigilanciR put into Havana re-
GENTLY, the Spanish authorities demanded
the surrender Of Senior Angel Fernandez,
a Mexican, on board the vessel. The
Spaniards alleged that Fernandez was
not Mexican, but a subject Of Spain.
Captain John Mcintosh of the
Vigilancia refused to surrender Fernan.
Jez. linen the Spanish authorities told
Mcintosh that If the Vigilancia at
tempted 10 go to sea with Fernandez on
board she would he sunk by the guns OF
MORO CASTLE.
Captain Mcintosh Immediately laid
the matter before Consul Gen. Lee, who
complimented the Captain on his bravery
and told him to take the Vigilancia to
sea when he pleased. The Consul General
was greatly enraged at the threat to sink
the Vigilancia, and is reported to have
said to Captain Mcintosh: IF the guns
OF MORO Castle sink your ship. Ameri-
can warships will be bombaIdtng Havana
in a few days."
Captain Mcintosh raturnd to the
Vtgilancia, and Consul Lee informed

sea, and that il any attempt was made to
take off Fernandez, or that if the vessel
was fred upon, Spain must take the
consequences. Weyler Immediately sum-
moned a council. and while this council
was considering the matter, the
Vigilancia began to weigh anchor.
Consul Lee watched the Vigilancia
through glass. Meanwhile signals were
being exchanged between Weyler's
Palace and Moro Castle, and in the
latter place there we're signs of great ex-
citement. Slowly the Vigilancia entered
the mouth of the harbor, and then it was
noticed that the guns OF MORO Castle
were turned on the ship.
The Vigilancia repeatedly signaled
MORO Castle: 81 am going to sea, " but
no answer came from the fort until the
vessel was in blue water, and then the
Spaniards ran up the signal which meant
goodbye"
1t is said that Weyler is furious over
the departure of the vessel, and Consul
Lees course. 1t Is stated that Weyler or
dered the commander of Moro Castle
to sink the Vigi1ancia, but at the last
moment he yielded to the entreaties of
his Cabinet and countermanded the or
