His Only Manio.

The old story of the Irishman
who, when he was asked how he
played upon the fiddle, answered,
"Be main strength, be jabers." is
outdone by the answer of a celebrat-
ed violinist to lady who asked him
the same question.
"Oh, signor!" exclaimed the fash
ionably dressed lady, with gushing
air. "By what magic do you evoke
such divine strains from your vio-
lin?
81 have no magic, madam" an
swered the musician bluntly. 81
have nothing but the bow and my
hand"

The Ship'a Watar.

An old lady on board vessel OBJ
served two sailors pumping up water
to wash the deck, and, the captain
being near, she accosted him as fol-
lows:
swell, captain, SO you've got a
well aboard, eh p
eyes, ma'am. Always carry one, u
said the polite captain.
''Well, that's clever. It's so much
better than the nasty sea water,

TWO WAR LETTERS.

Relics of the Revolutionary War.
Two remarkable letters of George
Washington were put up for sale at
auction in New York this week.
They are both war letters--that is,
written from Washington's head
quarters during the Revolution and
therefore the most desirable in the
eyes of collectors. One Of the letters
is written by Alexander Hamilton
from Middlebrook, in 1879. 1t Is
signed bv Washington and bears his
signature second time on the out.
side Of the letter. The second letter
is entirely In the handwriting OF
George Washington, and 1t is Of Pc
culiar interest because in 1t he offers
the position Of commissary of prison
ers to Elias Boudlnot, the wealthy
and loyal New Jersey patriot who did
so much for the cause Of the Conti-
mental troops. 1t Is dated April /.
