SHERIFF WHITE.

CRITICISM

In the course OF an address yesterday
High Sheriff Hunter c. White declared
that sherifrs In the performance OF their
duties were practically immune from be-
ing swayed by political considerations,
and courted criticism OF the public.
The opportunity was given him TO speak
at complimentary dinner rendered him
by the deputies of the county at the War
wick club. In part he said:
I'VE are not immune from criticism
and we have no desire to be. The sup
posed necessities OF political controversy
sometimes give rise to ill-considered abuse
and unjust accusation. But words so
spoken find no echo in the hearts either
OF the speaker or his hearer. No man In
this county honestly believes that his po-
litical affiliations affect the treatment
which he receives at the hands OF the
sheriff or his deputies"
City Solicitor Baker said:

politics, but 1 say that men who have

fact.

Risky Speculation.

In the days tbefo' de wah" a handy
negro named Jack was saving money
earned at odd times With which to buy
his freedom. His master encouraged
him and kept his money for him. In
time Jack had saved 5000 and needed
only another hundred 70 make hin
free. Ills master told him that it
wouldn't be long now until he could
get another hundred. Jack went out
with another slave to celebrate some
local festival. Returning along the
railroad track they were frightened by
an approaching train. Both got on the
track, but Jacks companion fell and,
striking his head against rock, was
killed. Jack hurried as rapidly as he
could to his masters house. 1t was
a late hour, but the master must hear
him. He said, "Gimme nah money
right now" The astonished master
demonstrated, saying, "But, Jack, you
need only another hundred dollars to
get free" 81 knows 1t, Mars Henry,

Hardly Negotiable.

Stories have been told Of buttons,
tacks and various extraneous sub
stances found in contribution boxes,
but IL Is seldom that a church member
strikes a blow so severe as was that
delivered by Amos Budd Of PotterYiile
on one occasion.
II was at the close Of a missionary
sermon that Mr.. Budd, whose wont II
was TO contribute 10 cents to each OF
the charities to the support Of which
the church subscribed, was seen TO
take a blue slip from his pocket ana
look at 1t keenly and affectionateiy.
when after a slight but evident hesi-
tatlon he dropped the slip, carefully
folded, into the box Deacon Lane, VINO
was passing 1t, could hardly refrain
from an exclamation Of JOY.
"The Lord viii bless you, Brother
Budd," he said, when the sermon was
over. hurrying down the aisle to over
take the prosperous grocer.

One Of the most intelligent inmates
of q blind asylum, who came into the
world blind, says that he never dreams
of the things he has read about and
never dreams of any thing or person
that he has not IN some way come In
personal contact with. BE dreams OF
music, Of tho voices Of persons ne
knows, Of such incidents as might
happen at the home or In some place
In which he has actually been, but
never of incidents in other places or IN
other lands. Even although he mas
read descriptions Of localities, OF nat
ural beauties, Of the appearance OF a
street or a city, no idea OF what they
look ike comes to him in the fancies
Of his sleep. There is a class OF blind
people who become blind when quite

of any scene or object except those
which have remained IN the memory
from what they actually saw before
