Tod OF a Virginin Colonel.

They are telling a good story in custom
house circles says the New York World,
about a Virginia colonel who is one of the
best officers in the revenue service when
he is not INDUCING in convivial habits.
This weakness of the colonel has called
forth several severe reprimands from the
department at Washington, but the colo
neFs popularity and influence has pre-
vented any serious consequences from his
various indiscretiOns
The colonel had been restraining him
self for several months until several days
ago, when he fell lamentably. He was
summoned to Washington and ordered
to report to Secretary Carlisle personally.
The colonel called on the Secretary ac-
companied by an influential friend, and
stormy scene followed. Secretary Car
Isle told the colonel that the patience of
the department was very nearly exhaust
ed, but that, as he was generally an ELI
cient officer, il was proposed to show him
clemency on this occasion provided he
would promise to abstain from drink in
future.
The colonel was exceedingly grateful
II am deeply honored, sir; deeply hon
ored, and shall use my endeavor. my very
best endeavor, Mr.. Secretary, sir, my best
endeavor to follow your Instructions sir.
Bid you good day, sir. Oh, by the way,
Mr.. Secretary, beg pardon for my
thoughtlessness, sir. We're just goin' out
to have little suthin. VIII you join US,

A Deacon's wickedness.

There was once a deacon on Cape Cod
who heard early one morning that there
had been a wreck on the beach near his
house. He hurried down with a couDIe
of pillow-cases; filled one with sugar, hid
it under the bank and went on 10 lool<
for more groceries. When he was gone a
neighbor came along on the same errand.
caught sight of the pillow-case, emptied
IL into his own bag and refilled it with
sand. By and by the deacon returned.
empty handed, and carried off his pillow
case without noticing the change. In
fact, he filed his sugar bowl and tried to
sweeten his coffee before he found out
how badly he had been treated. Then he
was so indignant that as he confessed
afterward. Il was almost wicked enough
to wish there might never be another
wreck on this here coast again"

Any one who reads the speech that Rep
resentativc Turner delivered in the House
the other day. and studies carefully the
questions that We're asked him during its
delivery by Mr.. Crisp and other sIverites.
and his answers viii most likely reach
three conclusions. First. that the argu-
mcnt for sound money is unanswerable;
second, that the most Of the silveritos
are sincere. and. third. that they ignore
facts and cannot reason logically. 1t IS
astonishing that a man Of such prominence
as Mr.. Crisp should be so entirely unable
to understand the meaning OF very simple
statements when the logical inference from
those statements is not in favor Of the
free coinage Of silver. For instance. Mr.
Crisp. who addressed the House before Mr.
Turner. stated that Secretary Carlisle had
refused to exchange silver for gold.
He made this statement TO show
that there was "a settled
fixed, determined purpose to dis
credit silver" lie admitted that he made
the statement FOR that purpose.
In his speech Mr.. Turner denied that
the Secretary of the Treasury had ever
refused to pay ont silver for gold, with
the view Of discrediting silver. Mr.. Crisp
reiterated his statement and sent for the
document which. he said. would prove the
correctness Of his statement il being the
testimony Of the Secretary of the Treas
ury. The document was sent for and
read, and what did it show? What Mr..
Crisp had asserted? BY no means 1t
showed that instead Of there having been
a base and wicked effort on the part of
the Secretary Of the Treasury to discred!t
silver in the case cited by Mr. Crisp.
there had been IAN effort TO maintain sill
yer. and to maintain the honor and credit
OF the government in the same transac-
ton" 1t is true that the secretary had
refused to pay out silver for gold on the
occasion mentioned, because, as explained
by Mr. Turner, he had no silver which he
could use for that purpose-there being
at the time less silver in the treasury
than there were outstanding silver GER
tiicates
OF course Mr.. Crisp was sincere. His
trouble was that he was unable to draw
the correct conclusion from the statement
Of the Secretary of the Treasury, on which
he had based his assertion.
And this is the trouble with nearly all of
the silverites. They get hold of half truths
and think they know 1t all In the light
spread abroad by such students and think
ers as Mr.. Turner. their erroneous state
ments and conclusions become apparent.

His Life saved by a Glove Button.

How much may depend upon a glove
fastening was illustrated at one of the
Monson slate quarries in an adventure
which the person concerned would not
care to repeat, says the Bangor News. He
was a derrick man, who stood on the
brink of one of the great chasms from
which the slate rock is hoisted. His duty
was to catch hold of the big hook de-
pending from the end of the boom as IL
swung over the bank and attach il to the
crate to be sent back into the pit. STAND
ing upon the very edge he reached out to
catch the hook which dangled near him.
1t was winter and he wore thick buck
skin gloves. The hook slipped from him
as he leaned out, but caught into the
fastening of the glove.
The swing of the great boom took him
off his feet in an instant and carried him
out into giddy space with his life depend
ing on the gloves fastening holding fast.
His whole weight was hung on that button.
and there was a clear us feet of space
between him and the floor of rock below.
The moments that passed before the
boom could be swung back over the bank
seemed like hours to him, but he got there
at last safe and sound. He explained
that he did not dare move his hand in
the glove to attempt to catch the hook
with his fingers, for fear the change of
position would loosen the button so il
would give way His presence of nina
in keeping as still as possible may have
helped to keep the slender thread from
breaking

hours after taking it. On his way the
bishop met the postman, who handed him
a large official envelope. He opened it in

had the Goor. and there was ten min
utes i'm which he could express his views
before 2 o'clock. at which time the reso-
luton would have TO go over for the day,
if not disposed of before that hour.
Mr.. Tillman objected to Mr.. Hill talking
out the hour and said he had seen the
senator from New York. on a previous
occasion. trip up a resolution to which
he was opposed by sharp practice" Such
a remark angered Mr.. Hill. and he replied
sharply to Senator Tillman The two
senators exchanged some sharp words
and glazed at each other. 1t was evident
10 all that war between them had been de-
clared, and we may expect a frequent
exchange of personalities between them
of a kind that will not add anything
to the dignity Of the Senate. Mr. Hin

Ttllman is just as likely as not to make
use of expressions and insinuations that
have the effect of making him thorough

bic to make a reputation with the wool
hat boys of South Carolina, but if the
senators take a notion to practically os-
tracise him, he will find his position a
very uncomfortable one. 1t is not usual
for one senator to accuse another senator
OF sharp practice" If the Senate
doesn't sit down on Mr.. Tillman hard that
body is likely to lose much of the rather
scant regard which the public now ap-
pears to have for it.

Senator Tillman is. indeed, to be con-
graduated. Notwithstanding he is dem
ocrat, he has gone ahead of the populists
in hatred and denunciation of the Presi-
dent of the United States. His speech
was too rank for even the populists of
Mississippi to indorse. They do not love
the President even little bit, but they
have some decency and patriotism left.

Moore has been connected with the peni-
tertiary for sixteen years. 1t must be that
he has not seen much of the outside world

Considering the fact that scarcely dec

has certainly been phenomenal, and this
progress has not only been confined to

Herbert, for at least a third less money
than was the case a few years ago. This

Mr.. E. c. Benedict is quoted as saying:
"Mr. Cleveland will answer the third
term question very distinctly at not dis
tant day. He viii not keep the democracy
waiting" Mr.. Benedict must be very anx-
ious to pose as the Presidents intimate
friend. He has been essaying to speak
for Mr.. Cleveland for two or three years
and has never yet said anything that
amounted to d row of pins. He talks too
much; which is an excellent reason for
saying that Mr.. Cleveland has not in
trusted him with his condolences. Mr.
Cleveland is a discreet man. If he should
feel called upon to speak. the chances. are
that he would not do it through Mr.
Benedict.
