Well Rewarded.

Mr.. Lucy, in The Strand, says that
when the late Lord Darlington was made
peer OF the United Kingdom people
asked why. Members of the house of
commons, ransacking their memories for
suggestion of reason, recalled how one
night, while Dizzy was still with us in
the commons, he, awakening from pro-
found rcyerie, could not find his eyeglass.
He wanted to stick it in his right eye and
take his accustomed survey Of the house.
With haste and perturbation foreign to
his impassive manner, he rooted about
tho recesses Of his waistcoat. tugged at
his shirt collar. pcercd on the ground at
his feet, had given it up for bad job,
when Lord Darlington, who was sitting
ncar him. quietly put his hand between
the premiers shoulders and brought
round the errant glass.
Dizzy, though not demonstratiye, adds
Mr.. Lucy never forgot friend or fa-
vor. So 1t came about five years later,
when the rcins Of power were slipping
out Of his fingers, he held them for mo-
ment longer to give Lord Darlington u
seat in the house Of lords and place on
the roll of the English pecrage. At least
that was what was said at the time in
the private conversation Of Lord Bar
rinston's friends.

YANKEE TRICKS IN ALBANY.

Pcddler Shrewdness Proved Supe-
riOr to Legal Acumen.
Shortly after the Revolution the Yam
KEGS from New England began tlocking
to the western part of New York state.
Thousands of them passed through Al
bany, but there was feeling of bitterness
between them and the Dutch burghers,
the latter having no sort Of use for the
nervous, restless activity of the Yankee,
who no sooner got comfortably settled
than he began to agitatc improvements
and changes-terms which were almost
reasonable to Dutch ears.
An anecdote illustrating the proverbal
shrewdness of the New England Yankee
and the confding nature Of some of our
Dutch ancestors was related many years
ago by an old Albanian and is worth re-
peating: A Yankee peddler was arrested
for travelling on Sunday, contrary to law,
and was taken before Dutch justice.
The peddlcr pleaded the urgency of his
- business. At first the Dutchman was in
eXorable, but at length, on the payment
to him of small sum of money as nj
bride, he agreed to furnish the Yankee
with written permit to travel on. The
justice requested the peddler to write the
pass" He wrote draft on Messrs. j.
& A. Kane, Albany's foremost mer-
chants in those days, for $50, to be paid
in goods, which the unsuspecting Dutch
man signed The draft was presented
and duly honored and the Yankee went
on his way rejoicing.
A few days aftcrward the Dutchman
was called upon to pay the amount Of the
draft. The whole thing was n mystery
to the magistrate, and it was n long time
before he could comprehend it. All at
once light broke in upon him, and the
victim exclaimed vchemently in bad Eng.
fish: "Eh, yah! l understand it now.
Tish mine writin, and dat ish de Yankee
pass"
He paid the money and resigned his
Office, feeling that it was safer to deal in
corn and butter with his honest neigh
bors than in law with Yankee travellers.
