Rroke TT Gently.

IT have just had chat with your
wife" said the handsome friend of a
down town business man the other
day, as he stepped into the office, re-
lates the Chicago Chronicle.
Had n chat with my wife? I did
not know she was down town"
"Oh, did not see her down town.
saw her at the house."
what! You saw my wife at my
house? Indeed, l did not think she
was receiving to-day. When 1 left
her this morning she complained of
having q fearful headache. She must
have become better rapidly.
She did not say aDyJnIng to me
about a headache; didn't appear to
have one, in fact"
mo, presume not"
"Well, you see, 1 was there with a
big crowd"
"a big crowd? What do you mean,
sir?"
Eyes. I went with the fire engine.
Oh, don't get frightened. It's all
right. The firemen put out the blaze
in two minutes and you would hardly
know there was a fire in the house.
Good-byew
And the handsome friend closed the
door behind him and wondered if he
had broken the news gently enough.

A veteran lawyer tells this story
Of young man who was on trial for
murder in the first degree. He was
charged with killing his father and
mother, and the proof was conclusive
against him. The jury returned with
a verdict Of guilty. The prisoner was
called before the court to be sentenc-
ed. and as is the custom, the judge
asked:
III you have any reason why SEN
tence should not be passed upon you,
you may give it now"
II haven't any, judge" said the prls-
oner, excepting that I think you
ought to have pity on a poor orphan"

]. Pierpont Morgan and the Reporter
Not long ago young man was sent
by his employer to Mr.. Morgan to
make verbal inquiry. When he en-
tered the big counting-room he saw
that Mr.. Morgan was not at his desk.
He asked the nearest clerk where lie
was. The clerk pointed to a distant
door. The young man went at once
into the room, and there he saw Mr..
Morgan In an armchair before q snap
ping wood fire. There were many
clerks In the room working over led
gers and sheets Of figures. He con-
graduated himself that he had found
the banker at leisure. The banker
seemed to be tracing curved line Oh
the arm Of the chair. He held his
finger at the end of the line as one
marks the place In book, when he is
interrupted, and he looked up and
asked gruff1y:
How did you get in here?"
I'LL walked in. SIR" stammered
the young man. He could think of
nothing else to say.
Walk outw roared Mr.. Morgan.
Then he turned his attention again to

msmber "Theg," says our friend
(whose name sounds nearly as that
of the editor Of this paper, had an
Important measure before the
House. To make victory sure
they needed the presence of an
honorable member from-say, No
where. The whip had tried to find
the gentleman during the forenoon,
but it was impossible, and yet the
vote OF the missing member was
noeded or something would drop.
The afternoon, session opened with
the usual aparriug, and then we get
down to work. "Oily Bill" as we
thou called tho Senator, looked
nervous, hat yet the seat of Mr..
- ---- was empty. Then speeches
were made and there was no "ten-
minute" rule5. "Lahaina" would
turn to the whip and whisper cant
you fad that blessed K ---," aud
the answer would be that all The
sub whips we're around securing the
town for Mr. K-----. One member
after tho other spoke to gain time.
Baldwin and Brown were exhausted, +,
in trying to reach vote for their
side. Robert Wilcox had spoken
in fourteen different languages. Ex
ira speeches had been made by
those who pev9r spoke in the House,
and fourteen pounds OF chewing
tobacco had been consumed iy
"Oily Bill" The Interpreter, now
Judge Wilcox, had given up inter.
preting, when the message reached
the honorable member for Lahaina
saying, Keep her a-goiug; X - is
under shower bath. Talk until
he comes, and our Waterloo

able gentleman arose, expeotoratsd
seven hundred gallons of tobacco
juice aud said "Mr. President" For
four hours he spoke, now in half
white" and now in any other old
language, and he held that floor
until the moment, when the whip
sent note saying "our man is here
and able to vote" The flow Of elo-
quence was damned; the member
voted; White was triumphant al
though feeble, but the "medicina"
which then sustained his oratorical
efforts is probably of the very same
nature as that which to-day leads
him to advocate silence and no de.
bate. "Oily Bill' wasn't born yes

When il the mind Of Judge, and
in the name OF justice an attorney is
to be assigned to defend some poor
offender who is penniles5 and friend
less, why are not selections made
from the great law firms who may
spare an assistant, of course au able
man, instead of calling upon q
bread-winner who may have to waste
his time in the ante room Of the
Courts before the Gaze assigned to
him is called. We presume that any
lawyer has right TO declne
to appssr in case assigned
to him by Court, but without ex-
cellent reason for doing so be given,
his conduct would be considered
unprofessional and on the verge of
contempt. We have rich lawyers
here, like Cecil Brown, General
Hartweli, Hatch, w. O. Smith. Ma,
COON aud others who rarely make
their bow ia the Courts as
practitioners. (We forgot Kin
neg, but then no is nice Demo.
crat and entitled to merry.) Now,
let the Judge assign cases to some
of the big bugs we have mentioned.
They will accept the assignment Of
course and re-assigu il TO solne poor
lawyer who mas the mis-iortune of
coming under the cstegorie "hresd-
winner" for consideration which
will do him good, and which, most
likely. will not hurt the pocket Of
the great lawyer, TO which case
may be assigned. Judge Humphreys
is "reformer," and we trust he will
make the experiment. He should
promptly overrule excuses which
would meet him. Cecil Brown
would tell him that he is a Senator
with the ten-minutea limit to talk,
and Hartwell viii claim that be is
too old and now practicing on Maui.
Magoou will claim that the garden
hose of his dairy needs "fxipg," and
w. o S. will want to be granted
time to weep over the smashing Of
his "dear," very dear, Board Of
Health. Hatch will be at the
Synagogue aud Kinney viii still be
on his way to the Democratic "head-
quarters" A change in existing
rules should be tried however, and
the struggling lawyer, glad for any
petty case in an inferior Court
should not be forced to devote his
time to act as an "assigned,' attor-
ney, while the others are clipping
coupons.

If l had. desired to render you an excuse for1not attend ing the last encampment l hardly had sufficient time 10 do so before re- ceiying your last letter to which this is an answer. l was not greatly sur prised at receiving this letter from you. because l have been expecting to ret eiVe all invitation from you to resign my dEficenef Lieutenant Colonel ever since you we're declared elected. You, of ll. men, know the reason why. but as others who may read this lettcr do not know, l shall brtcf1V st4." ,lme Iew re"sons. so tipJ any one who reads may be informed.
 First during the Spanish AnTeri Can Wa. when you had the misfOr- tune t. command the 1st Regiment, Alabama United States Volunteer In fantry. and your incapacity for such position had been demonstrated be- yond all doubt, a committee consist ing of Major T O. Smith, Major D. D. Mcleod (n1w dead) and myself, representing forty-five out of the fifty commissioned officers of the regiment. requested you to resign as Colonel and give way to man Wno had courage and capacity to fill the place. That you harbored this against me as an unpardonable sin. l soon found out You well remember that when the regiment was mustered out. a few weeks afterw ards. you, in defiance of army regulations. attempted 10 place upon the discharges of Majors Smith, Mcleod and myself and of Chaplain Fitzsimmnns, matter derogatOry to us as gentlemen and officers, You were deterred from doing this only by the threat of arrest and court-martial.
 Tn taking advantage of your off, ci9l position by attempting to dishon- or men. the latches of whose shoes you were unworthy to unlOOsen. you acted in mean. despicable and cow ardly manner After that knew you for what you really are-what. in common parlance is called a scrub.
 Second. in your recent race for the Colonelcv of the regiment. l have been informed by three gentlemen who now hold commissions in the reg iment. that some of your friends, in order tn obtain votes for vou prom ised that would resign If you were

F& ~ = = = elected. and that my position as Lieu tenant Colonel would be given to a certain Captain now in the regiment. By the same officers, l was informed dhat some of your friends for you. in order to get votes for you, used the same argument with reference to Majors Huey and Parkes. and that their places were also traded in the same astute manner I feel sure that thls trading was done with your Knowledge and consent. You are now trying to carry out this unholy bar gain. and as 1. did not resign as you expected, you are attempting to force my resigna ton. All this stuff writ ten bv you in your last letter is q pretense and a fraud. gotten up by poor actor attempting to deceive some one.
 Before you were declared elected colonel of the regiment. (and with all your trading, it is matter of grave doubt whether you were legally elect ed. well knowing that no honor or credit could be expected while serV- ing under you, l had publicly stated that l would resign. Many of the commissioned officers of the regiment requested me not to do so. I prom ised them I would not; hence 1t is that you have been permitted once again to take advantage of Vour Of- ficial position to insult me. That you enjoy it I have no doubt, but fling back in your teeth the insults you have offered. No brave man. no gen tleman would have acted as you have done, and to show you that I do not fear you in any way, I positively re- fuse to resign.
 Your threat to bring this matter before the Governor does not alarm me for l am willing t6 appear before him, a court-martiaL or anywhere else and tell them what I know about you. I presume that you will be very much offended at the contents of this letter l hope soft Is written for that purpose. I hope your rhinoceros hide has at last been punCtured.
 Tt will be several days vet before l am required to he absent from home: If you are personally dissatis- fed with this letter. l will state that any communication win reach me here if sent within the next six days.
 'I have taken copy of this letter. SO that If 1t becomes accessory or proper to do so, can have It publish ed at any time.

The charges of conduct unbecom- ing an officer and a gentleman, pre- ferred by Colonel E. L. Higdon against Lieutenant Colonel Osceola Kyle. for which the latter officer is to be tried by court-martial, are based on the following letter writ ten by Lieutenant Colonel Kyle to his commanding officer:
