A Southern Judge who was in a
New York cafe the other evening,
ordered for bis drink whiskey. The
waiter brought II in a glass. The
Judge looked around, probably for the
decanter, and then, pointing to the
glass with the wbiskey in it, be asked,
what is that p "Whiskey, sir" an

Don't Judge a man by the clothes
he wears; God made one and the
tailor made the other. Don't Judge
man by his family, for Cain belonged
to good family. Don't Judge man
by his failures in life, for many man
fails because he is too honest to sue
ceed. Don't judge man by the
house he lives in, for the lizard and
rat often inhabit the grandest struct-
ure. When a man dies, they who sur
vive him ask what property he has
left behind; the angel who bends over
the dying man asks what good deeds
he has sent before him.

The Bullet that Killed Jackson.

The bullet which, it was claimed
was the direct cause Of StonewaIl
Jacksons death is now in possession
of I. B. Wheeler, Of Highland Falls,
W. Wheeler has documents which
clearly prove the authenticity Of his
claim.
Wheeler's cousin was on Jackson s
staff. Early on the morning Of May
l. 1863, Jacksons division, in accord
ance with the decision Of council Of
war, moved toward Charlottesville.
Lee had yielded to Jackson advice
to flank the Union forces. The strata
gem was a complete success, and
Sickles' column went to pieces under
the terrific onslaught Of $4,000 gray
coats. It was while reconnoitenng in
the darkness that evening that jack
sons own men, mistaking their leader
and staff for Union calvary, poured a
shower Of bullets into their midst, and,
although several pierced the intrepid
leader, it was the one in Mr.. Wheeler's
possession that made the fatal wound.
The surgeon who amputated jack
sons arm threw the bullet against the
wall in a violent fit Of anger, and
Wheeler's cousin picked it up and car
ried it through the war. The former
Confederate died long after the war,
and Wheeler, while going through his
effects recently, found the bullet and
its history.

Phillips for a long time and that he,
after paying his addresses to her, prom
ised to marry her early in last March.
After that. she said Phillips visited her
almost daily, his ardor never apparent
ly abating. and they agreed to be mar
ried on the 9th of last June. Shortly
before the wedding day, Miss Schon-
leber alleged that Phillips requested
that the approaching event be post
poned until June 30. and the prospective
bride agreed to his request. When the
postponed wedding day arrived Miss
SchOnleber said that Phillips refused
to marry her and broke off the engage
ment. Miss Schonleber also alleged
that she left a position with the Key
stone Watch Case Co. on May 10 last
in anticipation of her nuptials, and
that after the engagement was broken
off she was unable to get back to her
old position, and has been unsuccessful
in obtaining employment. She also
said that Phillips lived in Cecil county,
Md, but came to Philadelphia every
week to attend market, having a stall
in the Ridge avenue farmers market
building: that he is worth $4,000 in
personal property, and that no amount
of money can compensate her for her
lacerated affections and the injuries
she has sustained in her social position.
The defendant Phillips gives quite a
different version of the story in his af-
fdavit of defence. He says that, at the
time the suit was brought, he had only
been engaged TO be married to the
plaintiff about three months; that he
did not break the engagement, and had
no intention of doing so at the time
she mentioned or at any other time.
He further says that he did call on her
on June % last to arrange for a post
| ponement of the marriage for little
while for reasons which he did not
then care to explain, and that she acqui-
esced in the postponement, though eX-
pressing her disappointment, and Phil
| lips left her on cordial terms.
Three days later, he continues, he
came to Philadelphia to market, in
tending to call on her before he left
town, when, to his surprise, he was ar
rested on a capias in the present ac-
ton; that, on the same day, when he
was released, he called on her and ex-
/ planned the circumstances. and remind
ed her that he had acted in good faith
and offered to marry her ait once, bul
she refused to accept him, although il
was only two days after the time for
merly set for the postponed marriage
In conclusion Mr.. Phillips denie,
that he is a man Of large means.

An operate Incident.

AT the beginning of the fourth act Of
Werther there is an intermezzo. AS IT
goes on the music rises to a tremend-
Gus climax, and there is a great din of
drums, horns and tiddles and all the
other instruments. Just as the noise
gets to its greatest volume, there is a
sudden stop, and all that Is heard Is
the faint sound Of a few instruments.
Werther had not been sung here be-
fore for three years, and many of those
who heard it on Wednesday night had
forgotten about this startling change.
The climax of the intermezzo was
reached in grand style, and when the
sudden stop came a clear, piping, femi-
nine voice, coming from the cleft of the
grand tier of boxes, was heard to say:
Well, l would be perfectly satisfied
II l could get a good, plain cook
And it was time for "Werther" to
weep.-New York Sun.

A pineapple rope three and a half
inches thick can support nearly three

1t is believed that the fine cloth of va
rious colors used by the upper classes
among the AZtecs was made of the
pineapple fiber. The modern Mexicans
do not manufacture it much now. ex-
cept in the isthmus, where the Zapotec
Indians still make a cloth from it and
from wild silk. One cause for its
disuse is the slow and wasteful manner
in which 1t is separated. Ginger Is
found growing wild in various parts
of Mexico. The returns from an acre
of land vary considerably, but when
cultivated under favorable conditions
