a pRAMATIC CLIMAX.
The Erect of One womap's Pathetic
Eyes ON N Jury.

Eyes on n Jury.
That juries are affected by handsome
and languishing eyes is proved by re-
markable experience Of the greatest ad-
vocate at the New York bar, the late
James T. Brady. He was counsel for a
young woman in case involving an
attempt to break will.
His client sat by his side. She was a
very beautiful young woman whose
eyes seemed alwaysto to rivet the atten|
tion Of those upon whom her glance
fell. There was pathetic expression
which affected every one. She sat
watching the jury during the course of
the trial, and at last there was some
complaint that she was attempting by
means of her glances to excite the gym
pathy of the jury
Then Mr.. Brady arose and in one of
the most touching and beautiful Of all
the addresses he ever made in court he
spoke of the blessings which every one
who had an appreciation of beautiful
things and could see them enjoyed, and
dwelt for some moments upon the happy
lot Of the jury who could see the bud
ding of the fowers--it was then spring
time-and the charms of nature; then,
suddenly turning to his client, he said,
"That blessing is denied my client, for,
though she has eyes which seem to look
upon you, gentlemen, there is no vision
in them, for her sight has been taken
from her. ;"
She had been, in fact, the victim of
total paralysis Of the optic nerve, which
had not impaired the beauty of her
eyes, but had given TO them that sim
gular pathetic expression which she was
thus falsely charged with employing
that she might secure the sympathies
Of the jury.-Philadelphia Press.

preSence Of Mind.

The presence of mind of an American
soldier in moments of danger is one
of his chief characteristics. a brother
of Father de Smet, the noted Jesui,
missionary, who labored among the In
dams of the west about quarter of
a century ago, was with his regiment
on some western campaign. One day
he wandered too far from the command.
and suddenly found himself surround
ed by a band of hostile Indians. He
was seized and was just about to be
tona hawked. when he remembered
hearing his brother say one day that
the Indians had great devotion for
the sign of the cross, the symbol of
the Catholic faftfA Accordingly he
raised his right hand to his forehead
and in distinct tones repeated the
words: SIN the name of tie Fathe.

SELFISH MAN PUNISHED.
A Little Train Incident That Gave
Justice-LOving Passengers
Much JOY.

Passengers on an Atlantic City train a
few evenings ago were treated to spectacle
of retributlve justice that tickled them ia
mously. The car was crowded, and, as the
dust was flying pretty thickly, all the pas

looking party, with plentiful growth of
edy-lookiLg whskers, and these he al
lowed to sway in and out of the window with
the gusty zephyrs. OF course, he got none
of the dust and cinders, for these always
blow in the seat directly behind. Two nicely
dressed women occupied these unfortunate
quarters, and, after suffering martyrdom for
about 20 minutes, one of them asked the

In front of the man sat travelling man,
who took in the situation at glance. Quick
as flash he raised his window, and instant
err the flowing facial appendages of the man
behind began to perform most fearful Sc
ries of gyrations. The dust speckled them,
and the wind twisted them. Their owner,
after few moments of such violence, got
red in the face and then put his window
down. A few moments later he leaned over
and asked the other passengers to shut off
the draught in similar manner, but, to the
intense amusement and qualification OF the
balance of the people in the car, who had
watched the little comedy all the way
through the drummer, without so much as
twinkle of the eye, replied: mo! It's too

To state that I was unaffected by these
words, which were poured forth in tot :

the future, my hope for life itself, swept
away together, and nothing but blank,
broken only by vision Of the gallows,

infantile prettiness of her face Il have
taken the liberty of asking to see you ere
you met Sir Henry. A woman is a better
judge of man than one of his own SEX"
"And in the present case to what end,
madam" l asked, bowling and taking the
chair to which she had motioned me.
For an answer she slowly raised a pair Of
double-bowed gold eyeglasses, deliberately
and silently scanning me from head to foot.
"Well" she broke forth irrelevant,S. x
protest, Capt. Lounsbury! You are almost
a gentleman! Were your face but less red
and your figure less gigantic, in a proper
costume you would not be amiss. Your leg
is none too delicate, but you have fine
teeth and eyes, and your hair also is ex-
cellent. I am quite provoked! Sir Henry
has deceived me, though it is now perhaps
just as well that you are MT ill-favored.
Are you so hardhearted, Capt. Lounsbury!
You scarce look a kidnaper!
Her reference to kidnapping brought ME
sharply back to the role of Lounsbury,
whose papers had shown kidnapping to have
been one of his accomplishments. Under
the sharp eye of this lady, whom | now
knew to be Clinton's reported lght-o' love.
it would not do for me to make slip.
That in some manner she had to do with
my coming secret instructions instantly
surmised, but the conjecture on my part
could clear the mystery of the nature of this
interest. Deeming it policy to lefrain from
discussing the matter, simply said:
Madam, my leg is not exactly that Of
dancing master, nor has my figure the grace
of courter, but they are the gifts Of
God, and have seen service in this broil
against the king. As for the small compli'
ments, am your debtor"
"Now, really, Capt. Lounsbury, you have
quite neat gift at retort ALSO" But she
got no further, as at that instant a door
concealed by heavy hangings was suddenly
thrown open, letting in burst of noisy
laughter from what might have been dozen
men, the sound of jollity being mingled
with the blinking of glasses and Gathering
of coin. The door then shut, and was evi-
IDENTIFY securely fastened, as l heard the
turn of key and the shooting of bolt;
the curtains were pushed aside, and there
entered man, who by his uniform alone
knew TO be the commander in chief of the
British forces in America.
Sir Henry gave me but passing glance
as ! rose to my feet. lie stepped forward,
and taking the hand of the lady, who
