A Lucid DecIsion.

A correspondent, referring to a recent
article in Law Notes on THE Gram
mar of the Courts" calls attention to
the following lucid decision of Sir
John Taylor Coleridge in the case Of
Turley against Thomas, c. and p
103, "a +. G. l.. $40: at has been sug-
gested as n doubt by the learned coun-
sci for the defendant whether the rule
of the road applies to saddle horses or
only TO carriages. Now have no doubt
that il does.'-Law Notes.

Colonel George w. Anderson. "A man
OF splendid genius and rare oratoIical
gifts, was stamping for Greeley and
Brown down in southwest MissoV~i.
One night in The midst OF his speech an
old fellow arose in the back of the
house and said:
Colonel Anderson. Is II true that
Governor Brown was SO drunk at that
Yale alumni dinner that he buttered
his Watermelon
Colonel Anderson reared back on his
pastern joints. Strengthened himself 10
his 6 feet and with lions roar an.
swered:
Eyes, it Is true that Governor Brown
buttered his watermelon at the Yale
alumni dinner, and | am happy to in
form YOU that that IL the only way in
which watermelons are eaten in polite
society"
Anderson's happy retort was greeted
with a shout of laughter and roar Of
applause by his auditors. His inter
rogator sat down discounted, and that
was the last ever heard OF the story
of the buttered watermelon-all OF
which goes TO demonstrate the value
of Danton's famous motto: "L'audace
L'audace! Toujours faudace!'
Colonel Anderson was a wonderful
stumper. He was most emphatlcally
a rough diamond. In the rough and
tumble, catch-as-you-can style of debat
ing he never had superior in Mis-
souri,, which is saying a great deal. He
was an adept in the use of every spe
cies of oratorical weapon.-ChamL
Clark in Saturday Evening Post.

TAKING OF PEKIN.
The Allies Are Smelling The
Inner City.

Washington, August 19-From Gen
Chaffee today the war department. re-
ceived official notification of the fall of
Pelxin and the rescue Of the besieged lega-
tioners. The despatch of the American
commander was not long and contained
few details, but the unconcealed satisfac-
tion with which it was received by Off
cials of the administration indicated
clearly the anxiety that has been
engendered by the long silence. His last
communication to the government prior
to the receipt of today's advices, was
dated August II at Matow, almost 30
miles from Pekin. The explanation OF
his silence is suggested in advices re-
ceived by the navy department. today
from Admiral Remey, who, telegraphing
from Taku on the 18th says the telegraph
line between that point and Pekin is in
terrupted.
The cablegram from Admiral Remey
contains some important information not
mentioned by Gen. Chaffee. He makes
the startling information on Japanese
authority that the inner city of Pekin
has been bombarded by the allied forces.
Admiral Remey says also that the
Dowager Empress Is detained in the
inner city by Prince Yungedo.

foreign office att Toxic Japan, by the
Japanese legation in this city, confirms
and amplifes previous accounts of th
capture of Pekin by the allied troops.
Following is the text of the despatch
from Gen. Chatfee as made public by
the war department.:
"Che Foo, August 10.
"Adjutant General, Washington
"Pekin, August 15.-We entered lega-
tion grounds at clock last night with
14th and light battery. Eight wounded
during engagement; otherwise all we'll.
(Signed). Chaffee."
The despatch which was received dur
ing the morning was transmitted imme
diateIy to the President at the White
House. He expressed his gratitca lion at
the news it contained, particularlyEat the
small loss sustained by the American
troops.
A copy of the despatch likewise was
sent to Adjutant General Corbin who
is in New York.
1t will be noted that the despatch indi-
Gates that the American troops entered
the legation grounds at O'Clock on the
evening of the 18th inst. By the Washing
ton officials and the sew eral legations
officers to whom 1t was shown, the date
of Gen. Chaffee's communication is re
garded as an error of transmission. 1t is
believed that the word Fifteenth
should be 'Sixteenth. All previous ad-
vices, official and unofficial, have indi-
Gated that the lega tions were relieved on
the evening OF the 10Th, Wednesday, after
a day of sharp fighting. Minister WI,
the Chinese representative, and Mr..
Takahaira of Japan, were quite positive
on this point, their official advices be-
ing that entrance to the City OF Pekin
