T.

Ilia triumphs at the bar were due to the fact that he was a powerful man, victorious over other men beciUaii he had a stronger manhood, a stronger selfhood, than any body on the jury he addressed. On one occassion I happened to. be -a witness in a case where a trader was prosecuted for ob taining goods yuder false pretensions. ill1..

Mr. Ohoate't? argumenf, as far as the tacts and the law were concerned, was through in-iiu hour.! Stiii hn" Went on speaking-. 11 nap after hour passed, and yet he continued to spenk wi^hconstantly increasing eloquence, repeating and re capitulating, without any seeming reason, lacts which he,had already stated and arguments which he had already urged. The truth was, as I gradually'learned, lhat lie was engaged iii a hand-to-hand— or rather in a brain-to-brain and a heart to-heart—contest with the foreman, whose resistance he was determined to break down, but who "onlronted him for three hours wiih defiance oiraervabie ii^ every rigid line of his honest countenance. "Ton fool!" was the burden of the advo cate's ingenious argument "you rascal!" was the phrase legibly printed on the foreman's incredulous face But at last the features ot the loieman began to relax, and at the end the stem lines melted into acquiescence' wPh'the qpinfyn?of tho. advocate, who-had beenslortnink at, the defenses of his mind, his heart* and liis conscience for five hours, and had liow entered as victor. lie compelled the foreman to admit the unpleasant fact that there were existing human beings whose mental and moral constitution differed from his own, and who were yet us honest in intention as iie was, but' lacked his clear perception and sound judgement: The verdict was "Not guilty." ft was a just verdict, but it was mercilessly as sailed by merchants who had lost money by the prisoner, and wiio were bounding him down as an enemy to the human race, as auothor instance of Choate's lack of mental ana moral honesty iu the de fense of persons accused of crime. The fact that tho foreman oi the jury that returned the verdict belonged to the.ciass that most vehemently attacked Choate was sufficient of itself to disprove such allegations. As I listened to Choate's argument in this case, I Celt assured that he would tro on speaking until he drop ped dead on the Hoor rather than have relinquiihed his clutch on the soul of the one man on the jury whom lie knew would control the oyinion of tho others. A Lady's Wonderl'ul Xervo. Mrs. Isadore Middleton, a very beauti ful woman, and one of tile scknowledged leaders of fashion in Mobile, can cer tainly boast of the possession of as much nerve and true moral courage as are often vouchsafed to any of ner sex. On the evening of Sept. 19th., she was iu her boudoir putting away some arti cles ol jowclry, when she noticed that the peculiar position of a library lamp, that was burning upon a chair in tho back part ot' the room, had thrown upon the floor, almost directly at her feet, tho shadow of a man who was crouching un der a broad-topped ornamental table in tho center of the room. She also re marked that the open hsud of the shad ow hai but two fingeis, and remembered that several desperate burglaries had re cently been committed iu the neighbor hood, si ppositiously by a negro despe rado who was notorious as having lost two ringers of his right hand. ^t. ^lidcllebu^ "v^as absent from the city, and besides" herself in the house there was but a single maid servant. In stead of iainting with fear, or shrieking for help, the brave lady seated herself at the very table, underneath which the mis creant was concealed, and rar.g for the servant.. '-'•Hand mo the writing materials, Bridget," said she, with-perfect calmness. "I want you to take a note this instant to Mr. Forfar, the jeweler, and have him send you back with my diamond neck •lace.and-eariidfcps, which I left there for repair several days ago. Brjuijg"them with you, nojnattcf if fully repaid or ngt,., They areliy twenty fol3 the most valua ble articles of jewelry that I possess, and I do not wish rrvpass another night with out having them here in my bureau drawer." itS •.'i-i' The note was at once written and dis patched, but instead of in the tenor that she had signified (on purpose for the con cealed robber to overhear, for. she had no pi^etf Ofjtewfiiry' ntidef repair), it s. hasty note to the-jeweler, an intimate friend, in which she succiactiy stated her terrible position, and urged them te hast en to. her relief, with the requisite police assistance, immediately on receipt of the missive. The agonies which that refined and delicate women underwent when left alone in the house, with the CohscioUS-' ness of that desperate robber, perhaps as sassin as well, crouching under the very table upon which she leaned, and per haps touched by her very skirts, can only ba left to- the-- r^wd«r imagination but her iron serve STiitsineS her through the ordeal. Sft6 yawned, hummea an operatic air, turned over the leaves of a novel, and in other luTIed 'the lurker intos sens® of perfect security and expectancy, and waited, waited, waited, with a wildly beatinar heart, and her eyes fastened upon iU: 3'VV the hands of her little ormolu clock with a greedy, feverish ga^e. At last, however, came tbo prayed for [*^f?t^ol oc^ she strolled cafeJee^ly .into tbu hall and drtwmft&irs fo open it. The rusie'' had 5t)een a success. She not only admitted Bridget, hut also Mr. Firfar and three stalwart toliceman. Tho latter parsed stealthily up stairs and into the boudoir, where they suddenly pouuead upon tho concsabid burglar so unexpectedly as to secure him with hardly a struggle. Tho prisoner proved to be a negro criminal, named CUapham, but mostly known as "Tw6 Fingered Jeff,'' who was in great request about that timo for several robberies committed in the neighborhood a short time before, and he is now serviDg a twenty years'sentence in the Alabama State Prison. An Emperor's Kinduess. Emperor William, of Germany, is a kind-hearted old man. Two anecdotes are told which illustrates bia natural dis position An official of the German civil service and his wife celebrated recently their diamond wedding. The Emperor, in his retirement, heard ot this event, and sent a medallion portrait of himself in a gold en setting, ornamented with the impe rial arms, by wayof a wedding present, and at thes-une time sent bis regret that his inability to writo prevented his ap pending his autograph, which, however, he promised as soon as he was able to do so. The other incident is as follows: Two children of a butcher, in a village a few miles from Berlin, having heard of tha Emperor's fondness for blue corn-flowers (our bachelor's buttons), gathered a great nosegay of them in tho fields, and with out saying anything to anybody started "J"ii the Uei'lii h'.^h^ay. trudged ail the weary miles to the city, found their way to the palacc, and handed the flow ers to the lackey "for the good Em peror," Their appearance attracted attention, abd When questioned they told their sim ple tale. They were taken into the pal ace and given a luncheon, which was probably tho best they had ever eaten, and then, as the Emperor divined that the parents must be by this time in great anxiety, the two lifctlo dusty and way worn children were sent home in the imperial carriages, an honor which made them the most distinguished residents of their little village. Love and War, Russian newspapers relate some rpmantic attachments which have sprun" up between Turkish prisoners of war and Russian ladies of various ages in the towns where the former have been de tained, leading in-some cases to somewhat sensational anil rather inconvenient scenes upon the departure of Turks. AtCliarkoff a Russian girl, dressed up as a Turk, took He.* place amjug the leturning Moslems. She was detected on numbering the pcr goii9 conveyed in the car. At Poltava a youncr lady of position and education in sisted upon accompanying a Turkish officer, to whom she earnestly desired to be married, At the same place the de parture of one railway train carrying liberated prisoners led to a regular scene, necessitating the interference of the police and calling for orders wbich have 'since been given to prevent similar occur ences in future. A crowd of ladies, young and old. some only schoolgirls,assembled on the platform and took leave of the de parting Turks in the most pathetic and demonstrative of ways. All embraced, all kissed, some burst into tears, others fainte3 away. All this was done in pub lic. The schoolgirls taking part in tho display have since been expelled from their schools. Old Cato, the iman senator, was not only a senator, a *rue republican, but also a farmer. He wrote a book upon farm ing. "Our ancestors," said Cato, "regard edit as a grand point of husbandry not to have too much land in one farm, for they considered that mere benefit came by holding little anl tilling it well." Virgil says, and that was after the empire was begun: "The farmer may praise large estates, but let i.ii cultivate a small one." And Curius, the Roman orator, went so far as to say: "He was not to be counted a goud citizen, but rather a dangerous man to the state, who could not content himself with seven acres of laud." Fancy farming may be indulged in, as a recreation, by men with other means of support. Such men may pride them selves in it, and claim to be model ag riculturists. They are not true farmers. A Problem Leng SlnceSolvul. How to remedy those prolilic causes of dis ease, an improverislied circulation and an Im parled digestion, was a problem the solution of which had often baffled medical skill, but which was solved over a quarter of a century sf by the introduction oi Hostctter'a Stom ach Bittcs to public and professional notice. Since that time, which raav well be said to have initiated anew epoch in the history of medicine, the remedy and preventive relerred to has obtained a foothold in the confidence of the American people that each succeeding year has only served to strengthen. It is rec ognized throughout the Union as a tonic of the first order, a remedy for and sure means of preventing fever and ague, and disorders of the stoinacu and bowels as a reliable means of reforming a disordered state of the liver, and of counteracting a tendency to rheuma tism, gout urinary and uterine disorders.
