Paid Loan After Forty Years.

Mayor II. S. Benner of Gettysburg
Pa, last week received 500 with sim
pie interest at 6 per cent for forty
years, which had been borrowed from
him by his old comrade, Capt. George
Brown, while they were confined to-

after their capture in the campaign
of 1864.
The money had been borrowed by
Capt. Brown in order to buy some ex-

food furnished by their Confederate
jailers.

The Last Survivor.

That was a pathetic scene at Paris.
H., when the last survivor Of a COM
mand which took part in the Mexican
war went alone to the fair grounds,
where he had met his comrades for
forty years, called the roll to which
there were no responses, and spent
the remainder OF the day in solitary
meditation.
The time is not so far distant when
a veteran of the civil war may do the
same. The remnant of the Federal
armies which assembled at Washing
ton for their last parade is dwindling
rapidly, and with each year the death
rate increases so rapidly that the last

WHAT THE BOY WANTED.
Odd Question Put to Chief Justice
Shaw by an Audacious Bow,

Odd Question Put to Chief Justice
Shaw by an Audacious Boy.
Chief Justice Shaw, though very
rough In his manner, was exceedingly
considerate of the rights of poor and
friendless persons. Sometimes persons
unacquainted with the ways OF the
world would desire to make their own
arguments or would In some way In.
terrupt the business of the court. The
chief justice commonly treated them
with great consideration.
One amusing incident happened
quite late in his life.
A rather dissipated lawyer who had
a case approaching on the docket one
day told his office boy to go over to
the supreme court ana see what in
hell they are doing" The court were
hearing a very important case in
which Mr.. Choate was on one side and
Mr.. Curtis on the other. The bar and
the courtroom were crowded with
listeners. AS Mr.. Curtis was in the
midst of his argument the eye Of the
chief justice caught sight of the young
urchin. 10 or IL years old, with yellow
trousers stuffed in his boots and with
his cap on one side of his head, gazing
intently up at him.
He said: stop moment, Mr.. Cur
It's"
Mr.. Curtis stopped and there was a
profound silence as the audience saw
the audacious little fellow standing en-
tirely unconcerned.
What do you want, my boy?" said
the chief justice.
"Mr. p. told me to come over here
and see what in hell you was up to-"
was the reply.
There was a dive at the unhappy
youth by three or four of the deputies
in attendance and roar Of laughter
from the audience. The boy was eject.

justice was not disturbed.-Sen

The classical confidence trick has
been neatly played on would-be
swindler in Paris by his intended vic
tim. The latter, cook on trans
Atlantic liner had been done himself
before and was too old a bird to be
caught again. He struck up an &C
quaintance with an engaging but OBJ
viously sham American millionaire in
the train to Paris, confiding to him
that he had 10000 francs in his bag
and meant to amuse himself on the
boulevards. We'll met, indeed" said
the millionaire; Il have also made
my pile and intend seeing the merry
side of life In gay Paree.'
They started the evening with an
expensive dinner, paid for by the
American millionaire. At coffee the
latter exclaimed: "Hullo. l have not
any cigars; suppose you go and buy
some. You can leave your bag here.
where II will be quite safe. But, as
you might be suspicious here's my
pocketbook. Keep it till you join me
again"
AS soon as the cooks back was
turned the American millionaire, of
course, bolted with the bag, but the
latter only contained old newspapers
and the cooks card, with the words:
II have been had before; you have
met your match this time" In the
wouldbe swindler's pocketbook was a
sum of G24 in French notes, which
the cook took to the police station.

And cerulean blue the wreaths that roll,
Each but a flames departing soul,
Or my idle Fancy's wool.
But, ah! the color my Kingdom cries;
And the color is all for my Kingly eyes.
And all for my ears the songs and signs
That surge through the softened soul
The sky's lost blue-the green o the

The arguing stream-the reproving

An dream by the fire with Kings own

And color the pipes sweet bowl
TIL the light dies down and the pipe

Then the King turns over and goes to

While overhead. twinkling plckets keep
