MarshaIPs ess.

One day Judge Marshall, engrossed
IN his reflections, was driving over the
wretched roads Of North Carolina on
his way to Raleigh in stick gig. His
horse turned out of the road, and the
sulky ran over a sapling and was tilted
so as to arouse the judge. When he
found that he could move neither to
right nor left, an old negro, who had
come along, solved the difficulty.
'My old marster," he asked, what
fer you don't back your horsew
"Thats true" said the judge, and he
acted as advised. Thanking his deliv-
erer heartily, he felt in his pocket for
some change, but he did not have any.
"Never mind, old man." he said. Il
shall stop at the tavern and leave some
money for you with the landlord"
The old negro was not impressed
with the stranger, but he called at the
tavern and asked the keeper if an old
gentleman had left anything there for
him.
ooh, yes" said the landlord, she left
a silver dollar for you. What do you
think of that old gentleman"
The negro gazed at the dollar and
said:
"He was gem'man, for sho', but

much in here" -World's Work.

Some Nice Royal Jobs,

"One Of the most desirable posts at
Windsor CASTLE" says a correspondent
of the Chicago Record, "is that of the
kings limner,' who in ancient times
decorated books and manuscripts with
initial letters and who now prepares
the parchment commissions when his
majesty is pleased to confer knight
hood or some other honor upon one of
his subjects. The man who now fills
the post has extraordinary skill with
the pen and brush, and his diplomas
and certificates were greatly admired
for their exquisite taste and skillful
execution. He receives a salary of
$1,000 year. The clockmaker at
Windsor castle receives the same COM
pensation, and it is his business to keep
all the timepieces in repair. The his
toriographer who is supposed to keep
a record of events, holds a hereditary
office, with a salary of $4,000 year.
The master of music receives $1,000
and arranges concerts for his majesty's
diversion. The surveyor of pictures is
paid $1,000, the librarian receives ST.
500, the examiner of plays $1,000, the
keeper of the swans is paid $500, and
the bargemaster, who looks after the
boats used by the royal family at
Windsor, has similar compensation"

Makes Many Divorces Invalid.

divorces granted by the courts of the
DakOtas and other states where there
has been a similar laXness in judicial
matters, many Of the DEGREES having
been obtained by residents of Chicago,
were declared invalid by the supreme

most notable cases Of distress expect

announced recently. The Dakota de-

Tough Old English Statesmen.

In Macaulay's day English statesmen
were of harder and more robust
type than the present race of poll
ticians. They seem to have had cast
iron nerves and appetites and diges-
lions to match. They dined off huge
beefsteak and a bottle of port, while
their grandsons are content with outlet
and lemon squash. And yet they liv-
ed to a good old age. We hear of Lord
Brougham at the age of 70 drinking
two bottles Of port at dinner, going to
bed upon half a bottle Of peat reek
(whisky) and turning out at daylight
to shoot teal;" and Lord Lyndhurst at
the age of 90 "supping off hot boiled
lobster and champagne"
Mr. Kinnear an old parliamentary
hand, tells us that he remembers see
ing "Mr. Disraeli drinking, as the pre-
Jude to big speech, a pint Of port
wine at the buffet in the commons
lobby, dressed in a green coat, a buff
waistcoat and snuff colored trousers"
This seems modest potation under
the circumstances, but Mr.. Kinnear
adds that Disraeli came back and had
another pint later on.-Blackwood's

When we had climbed to the top of

sitting on rock with pair Of field
glasses in his hands. Every now and

them and then whoop continuously for

sidering his age. For time we OBJ
served him from a respectful distance

PecnIiarities OF Crime.

one CT the strangest peculiarities Of
human nature is it's inclination tn
initiate the niisdeeds of others. Crime
is epidemical. A particularly dreadful
murder, the details of which are set
forth in ali the newspapers, often has
the effect of inducing similar crimes.
One OF the reasons, and probably the
chief reason, why public executions
were abolished in England, was tina.
instead of acting as deterrent the
execution had the contrary effect of
melting to murder.
In 1885 a woman of Geneva, named
lombard, killed her four children
She admitted that she had been read
ing of woman who killed her hus-
count had made her wish to initiate the
crime, but as her husband was dead
she killed the children. This is only
one instance out of hundreds which
have come to our notice.
The infectious nature of self murder
receives a striking testimony in the
following incident: DR.. Oppenheim Of
Hamburg had to examine the body of
man who had cut his throat and had
died after some days of suffering. The
medicO told his assistant that death
would have been immediate if the man
had made the cut in a way which he

days later to learn that his assistant
had attempted to commit suicide by
lacerating himself in that very manner.
The man admitted that he had never
thought of suicide until the day of the
examination and the doctors remark
