A compliment paid by Ruius Choate to Chief Justice Shaw, of Massachusetts, happily illustrates Burke's pithy phrase, "The cold neutrality of an impartial judge." "With what judge, " said Mr. Choate, "can you see your antagonist freely conversing, without the slightest apprehension, as you can with him?" Once during the trial of; a case an emi nent lawyer, associated with Mr. Choate, was rising to contest an unfavorable, if not an unfair, ruling made by the chief justice. "Let it go 1" whispered Mr. Choate, drawing him back. "Sit down. Life, liberty, and property are always safe in his hands." I Gracefully as these sayings compli ment the impartiality of one of the most upright of judges, they are not more ex pressive "than one which was paid him by a "sporting, man, " noted as an as sistant in prize fights. I The "sport" was a witness in a mur der trial, and during bis examination the chief justice walked to the edge of the bench, and in a grave way, peering over his spectacles, asked the witness several questions. After the witness had left the stand he said to an officer of the court: J "Did you see that chap that sot with two other coves behind a little fence there in court I mean the chief?" "Oh, yes, you mean said the officer. the cove called Judge Shaw, " "That's him; but what a glorious feller he'd make for a referee In a fight 1 said the bruiser. Daniel Webster did one of the best works of his life when be seated himself in Lemuel Shaw's office and spent sev eral hours in persuading him to relin quish a lucre live practice to accept the chief justiceship of Massachusetts. Al though its salary was so small as not to amount to one-third of j the sum which Sir. Shaw earned yearly by the practice of his profession, he yielded to the sense of duty aroused by Mr. Webster's argu ments, and for thirty years served the commonwealth by administering justice. The Constitution of the United States and the constitutions of the states are peculiar in tlm.'that without expressly authorizing the judiciary to pass upon the validity of the laws enacted by the legislative authority, they place the courts in such a position of complete in dependence that the judges have as sumed and exercise the right to pro nounce one law constitutional and an other unconstitutional The fact that after a! century of this method of governing through the judici ary the people still reverence the courts, and especially the Supreme Court of the United States, indicates the wisdom of our ancestors and the moral influence of "the cold neutrality of an impartial judge." I Be aside Changes. Many changes of feature are promised in the attractions of this popular resort dur ing the present seasonJ Long Branch Letter. Costly Candor. A story is told of Congressman Taul bee, of Kentucky, who (was shot lately by Charles Kincaid in Washington city, that contains considerable humor. An old colored man called: Uncle Eph bad lived in the Taulbee family many years and was considered an honest and faith ful old servant After jthe election for congressman, Taulbee having been a candidate, he was taunted by some of his opponents with the statement that Uncle Eph had voted against him. Loath to believe it he called old Eph into his room and said: "Uncle Eph, is it truaj that you voted against me at the election?" "Yes, Massa William" replied Eph; "I voted de 'Publican ticket " "WelL" said Taulbee "I like frank ness, and here's a dollar for your can dor. " The old colored man itood scratching his head, when Taulbee 'asked: " Well, JEph, what is it? " Well, Massa Taulbeej" said Eph, "if you is buying candor, you owes me fo' dollars mo,' kase I voted agin ye five times. " Cincinnati Inquirer. 1 Doubled.

"Great heavens!" exclaimed the man, and in his excitement he opened his mouth so wide as to dislocate his jaw the second time.

The Dark Way. of the Average New Yur. Gamin. "Cheese it, cully, de ccp. " If a person had been near enough to a crowd of about a dozen street urcliius at a dark corner near One hundred and sixty-fifth street and Third avenue, in the annexed district, the other night, he would have heard the above sentence in a stage whisper, and he would have seen the dozen "kids, " as the policemen call them, scramble out of sight and secrete themselves in doorways or be hind any convenient object that pre sented itself, so that in less time than it takes to tell it not one of the urchins was in sight. They scrambled to their retreat like a lot of rati Just as the last one disappeared the blue coat and brass buttons of a big policeman ap peared under the gas lamp on the corner below. In the ditch at the spot where the youths had been standing the out lines of a form, apparently a man lying at full length, either dead Or drunk, could be indistinctly seen in the gloom. The guardian of the night came leis urely along, swinging his long night stick and casually glancing about to see that everything was all right Arriving opposite the form, he stopped, looked at the object twice to make sure that his eyes did not deceive him, and tlien he muttered: "If that man's not 6tiff to-morrow me name's not Denuia . " Then he stepped from the curb, so that he stood near to the prostrate man. "Git up out o that," he ejaculated, in a foggy voice that would have awakened Itip Van Winkle before his sleep was ha If "Over. The form showed no signsof life, and a No. 11 boot emphasized another com mand to get upThe result was the same. The officer then reached down and took hold of the man's coat collar and braced himself for a heavy puIL lie pulled, and he sat right down on the curUtoue- so heavily that he saw stars. At the same instant a dozen shrill yells' A derision such as only street arabs can give vent to broke upon the stillness of 1 lie night and a dozen forms darted out A ilie doorways and disappeared in the darkness. The policeman examined the straw man, for that was what it was, aud found that a sand bag had been I lacv J at the spot where he was most likely to kick, and where in fact he did kic . Then he got up, turned the form over, and walked along, muttering, "Them pesky kids!" New York Trib une. Starry lag m Couple. The late Bjn jamin F. Wade, of Ohio, was, at the beginning of his career at the lar, noted for his baslif ulness; but an other trait, his determination, enabled him to gel through his work in a way which, though not conventional, landed him at his destination. Once, while a youth, he started with a bag of corn on his shoulders to a mill 30 miles away. It was in November, and coming to a full-banked river he discovered that the canoe was on the other side. Throwing off his clothes, he plunged in, gained the canoe, took it back where the bag of corn was, which he ferried across, and then went on his way. Another illustration of his way of do ing things occurred while he was justice of the peace. One day a young couple called at his place to be married. The presence of four or five irreverent young men prompted the baslif ul justice to sug gest privately to the pair that they had better meet him at the little hotel. They went, and so did the justice, by a roundabout way, only to discover that the boys were' also there. Seeing that he must perform the ceremony in their presence, he, though he had forgotten the usual formula, proceeded to business in the most direct way. "You wish to be married ?" he asked the pair. "Yes." "Stand up and take hands. You, " ad dressing the not prepossessing groom, "wish to marry this younyj woman?" "Yes." "Of course you dol" exclaimed the justice, glancing at the pretty bride and asking her, "Doyou take this young man for your husband ?" "Yes." "Well, you are getting the worst of it, but I say you are husband and wife. There, boys, you see I did it 1" glancing at the spectators. The couple bad to have it explained to -them that they were, in the eyes of the law, wedded. Whereupon the hus band offered the jusrtics a fee (the statute made it oue dollar and a half) which, by a lofty motion of his hand, he waved off, saying, " Nothing for a job like that 1 " A Monument of Success. "To think," she nobbed, leaning on his shoulder, " that the first loaf lever baked should turn out such a miserable failure. " "It is not a miserable failure, " be cried in the ringing tones always used by the heroes in novels; "it may prove the mon ument of our success. Weswill keep it, darling," he wliLrpered tenderly, "and when we build our own home we will use it for the corner stone, and the cy clone that crushes that home with it uuder it will lie a daisy, you let.

"Did I ever hear Jenny Lind ?" said J. C Stewart of the Fat Men's Club the other day. "No; but I'll tell you how near I came to hearing her. You prob ably don't remember when the Swedish songstress came to America under the management of P. T. Barnum, but I don't think I'll ever forget it It was a good many years ago, and I was , a boy, a pretty good sized one, knocking around New York city. The night of Jenny Land's concert came, and I was crazy to hear her; but I didn't have any money, and there I was. I hung around the door of the theater after the concert had begun. By-and-by several gentlemen came out bareheaded. I was willing to adopt almost any means to get inside, so I went up to one of those who had just come out and said: " ' Say, Mister, let me have your check so I can get in and hear Jenny Lind sing." " Why, they're not giving out checks, nryjxy,r he replied. 'When one gets inside he checks his hat and if he wants to go out between times he goes bare headed, and When he goes back the ab sence of his hat "indicates that he has been inside.' "Well,, a bright idea struck me at least, I thought it was a bright Idea. So I quietly went up to the entrance, and, unseen, took off my hat and pushed it up under my vest Then, putting on a bold face, I walked into the the theater without being molested. I sat down in a vacant chair and waited for Jenny Land. Presently a big, heavy-set fellow came and set down beside me. He made some ordinary remark, and then said: "'Say! These people think they're pretty smooth here, and that no one can get in without paying, but I fooled 'em. I just shoved my hat up under my vest and walked in with the other bareheaded fellows that had come out before. ' " 'Is that so!' I replied, thinking it was a great joke. ' Why, that's just the way I got in.' " ' You did, eh ? said the big man, with a grin. ' You . I sized you up for getting in that way. Now you get out of here.' "Ididn't wait "concluded Mr. Stewart "for the man who laid the trap into which I fell so easily was a special po liceman. That's just how near I came to hearing Jenny Lind. "Kansas City Journal A Bit of Western "License. I was listening to a gentleman who is an intimate friend of Chief Justice Fuller a man who had known him from boyhood. He asked me how it was that he sometimes heard Mr. Fuller referred to as "Mel. " I had to confess that occa sionally some one who was careless and who had no regard for the niceties of good breeding referred to the chief justice in the way mentioned. " The gentleman, continuing, said that he didn't suppose the chief justice would take it as an affront if some one e hould call him " MeL " on the ttreet or elsewhere, as Mr. Fuller is known to be the very essence of old fashioned democracy. But it was a fact that nobody ever called him " MeL " when be was a young man in the East, and no one there ever calls him that now. He was not even called "Mel. " w hen he ws at school. " The fact is, " said the gentle man, "you people out West get ac quainted with a man on short notice. You call Mr. Armour 'Phil? and Mr. Allerton 'Sam.,; and Mr. Fairbank 'Kirk.'

I wasn't there at the time, but I know it's true, for I know the girl that was the heroine. I wanted to marry her myself, but the old folks wouldn't have it, because there were eight in the family and I couldn't support them alL Well, the girl had to do the work for the eight of them, and if I was sorry that she had. to do it, so was the lightning. One day she was fixing up supper for the outfit and there was a johnny-cake ready for distribution. A storm came on, the thunder rolled, the rain fell, the light ning fooled round as usual, until one' flash or bolt, with more sense than the others, came down the chimney, hit the cake, cut it up into eight pieces, and then went down through a crack in the floor.

Cadet Grant did not graduate from West Point "with the highest praise" of lib instructors, but some of his class mates thought him the strongest manV'l intellectually, in the class. "Well, sir, said one of them, James A. Hardie, to an instructor, "if a great emergency arises in this country during our life time, Grant will be the man to meet it " An incident, related by General Fry in his "Military Miscellanies," shows that one man among the instructors, the riding-master, believed in Cadet Grant's ability to do great things. In June, 1843, Fry, a candidate for admission to West Point, wandered into the riding-hall, where the members of the graduating class were going through their final mounted exercises before the superintendent of the academy and a large assembly of spectators. The regu lar exercises having been finished, the class, still mounted and formed in line through the center of the hall, waited for the word of dismissal Liut "old Hershberger, " the riding master, wished to exhibit to the assembly a deed of daring self-reliant horseman ship He placed the leaping-bar higher than a man's head, and called out, "Cadet Grant!" "A clean-faced slender blue-eyed young fellow, weighing about one hun dred and twenty pounds, dashed from the ranks on a powerfully built chestnut sorrel horse, and galloped down the op posite side of the hall. As he turned at the farther end and came into the straight stretch across which the bar was placed the horse increased his pace, and, meas uring his strides for the great leap before him, bounded into the air and cleared the bar, carrying his rider as if man and beast had been welded together. The spectators were breathless! "Very well done, sir!" growled" the riding-master, and the class was dis missed. In 1885, forty-two years after this gal lant leap and Hardie's prediction. Gen eral Fry was in General Grant's room in New York city. The hand of death was upon him, and he was almost voiceless. Sheets of his forthcoming book were be fore him,- and several artist's proofs of a steel engraving of himself, made from a daguerreotype taken soon after his grad uation. "General, this looks as you did the 3rst time I ever saw you, " said Fry. "It was when you made the great jump in the riding exercises of your graduation. " "Yes, " whispered Grant "I remem ber that very welL York was a wonder ful horse. I could feel : him gathering under me for the effort as he approached the bar. Have you ' heard anything lately of Hershberger?" -No. never heard of him after hie left Wei Point rears ago. " "Oh," said. the general, x nave neara of him since the war. He was in Car lisle, old and poor, and I sent him a check for fifty dollars. " Not Much or a Failure After All. "Hello!

She returns her calls with her visiting card, makes new acquaintances with her visiting card, invites her guests with her visiting card, and sends her visiting card to keep the engagement she has had to break. It remains with her hostess after she departs to testify of her presence, it presents her regrets and offers her condolences, and of late she scribbles off most of her correspond ence on the backs of these very cards. The shrewd Mr. Howells remarks some where that there is no emergency of life that the average woman does not think can be met with cut flowers. It stands equally true for the visiting card.
