She Pulled at the Counter.

They were two daintily dressed, chic
girls, says the New York Telegram, and
they were evidently out for giddy after
noon. They strolled down Broadway into
Herald square with the gayest of smiles
on their faces and the sauciest of looks in
their dancing eyes. They stopped at a
drug store in which a mammoth frosty
soda fountain stands in all it's glittering
temptation, and soon became engrossed in
two delicious, creamy, frothy mixtures.
They chatted as they drank and slowly
ate the ice cream with the long distance
spoons with which each alluring glass is
provided.
At last the ice cream soda was finished,
and the girls went laughing out into the
street. when suddenly a look of consterna-
ton overspread the face of one of them
and she exclaimed:
"Oh, Kitty

JustiGabIe stealing.

CT heard the late Judge John R. Grace
of the court of appeals of Kentucky set
aside the verdict Of a jury once under cir
cumstances that TO my mind did him in
finite credit" said Representative John S.
Rhea of that state, according to the
Washington Post.
1T seems that a poor woman, who was
on the verge of starvation, and who was
the sole support of four little children,
went into a neighbours smokehouse and
purOined a piece Of bacon. The proof was
positive. and the jury reluctantly returned
a verdict of guilty. When the finding of
The jury was read Judge Grace, who at
that time presided over the Fourteenth
judicial district, rising to his feet, said in
the most emphatic tones:
The court orders that the verdict in
this case be set aside, and l want to de-
clare here that in all cases where an I'M
fortunate woman is on trial for stealing
food, taken TO keep her offspring from
starving. il will require thirteen men TO
convict her of the crime in this court The
defendant is discharged from custody
"rhe announcement was greeted with
applause from the spectators, and the gem
eral sentiment was that Judge Grace had
acted not only as befitted a chivalrous
man, but that his ruling was right Theft
10 keep innocent babes from perishing of
hunger can scarcely be called a crime"

The Philadelphia Times prints an Inter-
esting letter from Mr. n. S Thompson,
secretary of the Johnstown, Pa. board of
trade on the subject Of transferring the
surplus labor in the north TO the agricul-
tural districts Of the south. Mr.. Thcmp-
son. who formerly lived in this city. and
later in Birmingham. Ala. thinks the
transfer could be made, to the great adj
vantage Of both the prospective immi-
grants and the southern section. The
Times gives editorial endorsement to the
proposition, and says that the state Of
Pennsylvania could send 10000 men into
the south where they could find more
profitable employment than they can in
Pennsylvania

The Naval MiIitia Matter.

Neither Savannah nor her naval militia
propose quarreling or calling names with
Brunswick and her naval militia. There
is nothing to fan out about. If the navy
department should think it best for the
monitor Passaic to remain where il is,
well and good; Savannah would not weep
over the matter; her naval militia would
be none the worse Off Savannah is not
trying to take away Brunswick's monitor,
and the only steps taken in Savannah
have been in line with the official sugges-
tons of naval officers.
Should the monitor be sent to
this port, it would be taken good
care Of. Should it not be sent
here. no tears would be shed. It
is only a question of time, probably a
short time. when the navy department
will recognize the merits of the Savannah
naval militia boys" and give them a
training vessel or in some other manner
let them know they are appreciated.
In the meantime, IAN hands and the
cook" should keep cool and say nothing
that is not in keeping with naval cour-
tesy.

In his earlier years Of manhood Doug

ship as she lay of Gibraltar. his supe-
riors being engaged for the time on shore.
What happened is best told by one who
knew him well: Some OF the sailors
begged 10 get ashore, and he left them. on
the promise that they would bring him
back some oranges. one Of them disap-
pcarod, and the mdshipman suffered
consequently for &c. More than twenty
years afterward Jerroid was looking in
