A COMICAL
COMPROMISE.

1t has always been the opinion of
the Rev. Hannibal rrince, the we'll
known pastor of the Middletown Meth
Observation-Disclosures Jerusa-
lem-Zion-church, that the true method
OF putting an end to an apparently in
terminable quarrel is for the parties
thereto to agree to a compromise. Mr..
Prince himself tried the virtues of a
compromise on the occasion of his
painful controversy with Colonel
Smlthers, who maintained that at
least two or three Of his chickens
ought to have been left in his chicken
house, and that he was impelled to
prosecute Mr.. Prince by a desire to
teach that acquisitive gentleman that
81 distinct chickens in one night was
more than any self-respecting preacher
ought to carry off. Mir. Prince, after
Vainly representing to the colonel that
the arrest of a colored clergyman in
connection with chickens would be q
public scandal, offered TO compromise
the matter by whitewashing the entire
Smithers mansion. On the basis of this
agreement the matter was satisfac-
torily settled.
Whenever a member of his congre-
CATION got into any difficulty and came
TO Mr.. Prince, the latter always recon-
mended that the dispulants should
agree to a compromise. SO well known
was this habit that when Mr.. Blue and
Mr.. Montgomery, two leading colored
citizens of Middletown quarreled over
the question of the ownership of a
GUS on the Atlanta road, and came
to Mr.. Prince to ask his mediation,
they were not in the least surprised
the good nan gazed on them
through his spectacles and said:
Breddren, just coppermise this hyer
The origin of the great Blue and
Montgomery dispute is lost in the mist
II antiquity. There had stood for
many years on the Atlanta road a
small shanty. Ia feet by 16 to which
both the contestants laid claim. AS
shanty had been erected by a coll
)red squatter who had no title to the
and in which it stood, and the value
If the shanty was very small, no law
yer had thought it worth while to
neddle in the dispute. Each claimant
lad put a separate paddock on the door
md each had solemnly promised to
ihoot the other in case either lock
be broken. 1t is true that
n had the courage to shoot,
tut as each was secretly afraid OF the
'ther, no attempt was made to enter
he house. In fact, neither Mr.. Blue
Tor Mr.. Montgomery wanted to live in
he house, and it was understood that
he moment the dispute should come to
IN end, the victor would move the
louse onto his own land.
10 put an end to the chronic quarrel
between Mr.. Blue and Mr.. Montgomery
Prince proposed, as a most skillful
compromise, that the disputed house
should belong 10 the man who should
laul it away. Mrl Blue owned a

Lick's Eccentricily,

This is told of James Lick, the eccen-
trio San Francisco millionaire, who
founded the famous observatory bear
ing his name. When taking anyone
into his service he always asked the
person to plant a tree upside down
the roots in the air, the branches I'M
foreground. If there were any protest
the nan was at once sent away, Lick
saying that he wanted only men who
would obey orders strictly.
