TALES OF THE DAY.
College Days of Charles Reade.

When Charles Reade was at oxford he
was not always. from a proctors point
of view, a pattern for others to be guided
by. One night he and a companion. being
without cap and gown. were chased by
the bull dogs" Being fleet of foot they
soon reached their respective colleges.
His chum was able to square the porter
at Queens, and passed in. but there was
no such luck for Reade when he arrived
at Magdalen. Being a young man of re-
sources. he was not 10 be easily caught.
and, looking about him in the moonlight,
he spied ladder.
Planting this under his chamber window
he was soon in his own rooms. But the
tell-tale ladder remained behind, so he
managed to drag it up after him. He al
ways carried a capital sportsman-S knife
which would saw as well as cut-and
with it he began to convert the ladder
into fuel. When his friend from Queen 8
called in the morning to see how it had
Jared with Reade, he was told, Il shall
be all right directly. old man. for I've
been up all night burning the ladder. and
have just put the last bit of the blessed
thing on the fire.

Weakened an Experts Testimony.

| In the FOrtnightly Review. Baron Pol
/ lock has some "reminiscences of Judah
P. Benjamin. the confederate cabinet
] minister. who afterwards was an eminent
London barrister. To illustrate his acute
ness as cross-examiner the baron re-
! iates an episode in case tried al Liver
| pool in which the American was counsel
/ for plaintiff who sued a warehouseman
for damages TO some cotton that had
! been stored in his establishment. The
defendant, in order TO escape a number
of suits of the same nature employed
long array of experts" TO show on the
witness stand that mo stronger or more
perfect warehouse had ever been con-
structed. Mr.. Benjamin treated them
all very gravely and politely, asking very
few questions. Baron Pollock now re-
lates:
AT the end Of these came the climax
and last, but not least. to add one crush-
ing blow to the hopes of the plain-ff
came gentleman from a distance whose
great prestige and combined experience
as both architect and engineer eclpsed
that OF all who preceded him. He gave
his evidence In that calm and measured
all who hear II. and explained the impos-
sibility of the accident having occurred
in consequence of any improper construc-
tion or want of repair of the warehouse
while this was going on Benjamin sst
taking a note in solemn gravity, then
rose to cross-examine.
q. 1 think, sir. you said You had had
great experience in the building of ware
houses?'
"A Yes.
%. And that you have carefully con-
sidered the causes which lead to their
weakness?'
"a. Certainly
"a. And you have applied those con-
siderations to the present case?
"A. have done So
%. Then will you kindly answer me
one more question. Why did that ware
house fall?
The witness paused and Benjamin
with pleasant twinkle in his eye sat
down with almost bump on his seat
The cause continued. and the effect was
so striking that judymen. bystanders and
all could not resist a hearty laugh, which
terribly diminished the effect of a long
as accounting for his conclusion.
:" Thank you, said Benjamin. slowly
and calmly, I have no more questions
with which to trouble you.
THE result was irresistible and no
ingenuity on the part of the learned
counsel for the defendant could restore
the lost ground. Verdict for the plaintiff
and damages"

hundred members Of the Third Ne

and were met at the depot by a large
crowd. They were entertained at

All of the soldiers were provided with
box lunches and presented with
flowers.
Colonel Bryan to the large and en-
thusiastic audience of men and women
who greeted him with cheers.
Colonel Bryan spoke in part as fol-
lows:
I'VE do not know what may be the
result of this war. War often brings
results which were not imagined in
the beginning, but one result has al
ready been achieved. If there was
anybody in the United States who

the south, there will hereafter be no
one to doubt the loyalty Of the people.

THE SITUATION AT MANILA
The S~paniards Ready to Surrender ON
indications of an Attack-Germany's
Display of Naval Force.

Van Couver, B. c., July 20,-Accord-
ing to advices brought by the Empress
of India from Hong Kong, the chief
news of the moment is that Manila
is ready to s~urrender-not that the
archbishop and captain general are
going to voluntarily capitulate before
they are compelled to do 50, but hat
the backbone of resistance is unques-
tionably broken and upon a real show
of force and intention to lombard the
town, if the officials do not given in,
the Spaniards will u down the
Spanish flag. limitations to this eff
feet are received fI1m many sources.
The correspondent of The Hong
Press, writing under date of June 23d,
says the chief subject of discussion in
Manila, in Cavite and the American
fleet is the presence there of SO many
German men-of-war and OF transport
or supply vessels in port. He says:
Il have just Interviewed a leading
Englishman here on the subject. He
unh%esitatingly informed me that all Of
the Germans in Manila as we'll as
SpaniardS, regard it as a remarkable
demonstration. 1 am sure that the
Spaniards have received encourage
ment from such a naval display. A
Spaniard today told me that the COM
ing Of a large German squadron was
construed by him and leading Spanish
officials as a direct act of friendly
interest n warning towards the yam
KEGS hat they could not go too far.
Now when a Spaniard of influence, as
this man was, will talk like that, |
think it is high time to ascertain what
the Germans mean by appearing here
in such forces.
81 am familiar my informant con-
tinued, with all the German inter
| ests in Manila, n my relations with
the Germans are very agreeable, and
I am positive that n German cruiser
would be fully able to protect them to
| every extent they desired"
Further details Of the great fight OF
May 1st filter through some high Off
Gals Of Manila as time passes. It nov
appears according to authentic infor-
nation in the hands of Consul Will
liams that out of 491 men on the Reina
Christina 364 were killed, and only ~
left on the ship.
