tumorous department. Lord Eldon's Apcuogy.?When John Scott (Lord Eldon) was at the bar he was remarkable for the sang frold with which he treated the judges. On one occasion a Junior counsel, on hearing their lordships give judgment against his client, exclaimed that he "was surprised at such a decision." This was construed into contempt of court, and he was ordered to attend court the next morning. Fearful of the consequences, he consulted his friend John Scott, who told him to be perfectly at ease, for he would apologize for him In a way that would avert any unpleasant result. Accordingly, when the name of the delinquent was called, John rose and coolly addressed the assembled tribunal: "I am very sorry, my lords, that my young friend has 90 far forgotten himself as to treat your honorable bench with disrespect. He is extremely penitent, and you will kindly ascribe his unintentional insult to Ignorance. You must see at once that it did originate in that. He said he was surprised at the decision of your lordships. Now, If he had not been very ignorant of what takes place at this court every day?had he known you but half as long as I have?he would not be surprised at anything you did."?Tit-Bits. Hb Saw the Game.?The office boy had buried countless grand mothers, brothers, sisters, aunts and cousins, but he felt an enthusiasm for the baseball game that day that would not be downed. Suddenly an Idea struck him. Approaching the easy boss with an air of familiarity, which had been nurtured by long usage, he asked: "May I leave at noon today, sir?" "And why. my boy?" "There Js a fancy fair at our church and mother wants me to go this afternoon. She was so anxious that she bought me a ticket, which cost a dollar, as she was sure you would allow me the few hours off. I have to assist at the refreshment stall and it seems a pity to waste" "But surely you are above such things as that, which take you away from your work. Why not give the ticket to one of your sisters?" "Well, you see, sir, that wouldn't be fair, for I'm the onfcr one of our family who can be depended upon to eat a dollars' worth, and"?

"Darling, I am ready tc do anything, to dare anything for you. If it will make you happy to see me enter a den of wild beasts I will do it. If you would have me jump from a high building to prove that I love you I am ready to take the risk. Bid me navigate the rapids of Niagara in a barrel and I will make the effort, so that you may know how deep is my affection for you." "I shall not ask you to do any of the foolish things you mention; but won't you, if you really love me, go out Inthe back yard and play croquet with Aunt Mehltabel? She says she gets so lonesome knocking the balls around alone." With a groan of despair he grabbed his hat and ran. She had asked too much. He could not, even for her love, assume the risk of being referred to as a mollycoddle.?Judge. A Luminous Comment.?The late Isldor Wormser, the millionaire banker of New York, laid the foundation of his business success as a clothier in San Francisco. An aged San Franciscan said of him recently: "Mr. Wormser was a shrewd man. If you laid a proposition before him, he saw at a glance whether It was good or bad. true or false, and In an epigrammatic and Illuminating way he passed judgment on it. "For Instance; I once heard a man explaining palmistry to Mr. Wormser. The man was an ardent palmist. He insisted that the lines in the hand were as trustworthy as the lines in the Bible. He said that the wise everywhere believed in the palmist's science. " 'Now here," he went on, opening his hand, 'here is the life line. This line indicates infallibly how long you will live.' " 'Yes.' said Mr. Wormser. 'Isn't it funny, though, that the life insurance companies pay no attention to it?'"? Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. The Thotghtful Landlord. ? A New Yorker whose business frequently takes him through the south tells of an amusing experience in a country hotel in one of the Carollnas.

The New Yorker had left a call for 6 In the morning, so that he might take an early train .north and he went to sleep in the calm assurance that he would be aroused at the proper hour.

McAfee presiding and Mr. C. C. McAliley acting as secretary. J. K. Henry, Esq., treasurer, made his report. The most interesting part of the exercises was an historical address by Dr. G. B. White, recalling the teachers who had charge of the school at that place in his recollection. He gave a sketch of the history of the church from its founding, the land having been deeded by his great-greatgrandfather, John White. The earliest records go back to 1778. It was then called Bull Run. The first building was erected of logs, in 1786, when the name was changed to Purity. The ministers who served the church were named, as follows: Campbell, John Simpson, McCullough, Neely, Stafford, John Douglas, A. F. Dixon. The church had its dissentions, among them the disagreement about the introduction of hymns of human composition and that growing out of Nullification, leading to separation and the organization of Pleasant Grove. It is known that the old building was destroyed by fire three or four years ago and a school house to take its place was built a few hundred yards distant, which was burned by lightning. Another building has been erected on the grounds. Those who attended this meeting had a delightful picnic Mr. Norman Elder of Columbia, who has been doing some surveying in the neighborhood of Lowryvllle, went to Guthrlesvllle yesterday morning to visit his daughter, Mrs. Palmer Moore Chief W.

BULLEN. 8 o In, roughly, 45? N. 25? \V., the old tl whaling bark Desdemona lay lazily a mlline to the Atlantic swell. It was s nearly calm and had been so for sev- 11] eral days, although the month was I September. a She was a forlorn looking old ship ti and her position was a lonely one, out u of the tracks of the busy hustling p steamships which used the western tl ocean as a man uses the road between n his business and his home. She was s just a survival of a once great and romantic sea calling, and weather s stained as she was, her skipper and tl chief mate, leaning over the weather h quarter in silent meditation, well h matched her. n Their faces looked as if they were s fantastically carved out of a piece of h gnarled oak, and their quaint garments b hung upon sturdy frames that looked d as tough and durable as the timbers t of the old ship herself. They had thus lounged upon the weather rail and si- t' lcntly smoked for upward of an hour, r hardly changing their position and ri neither uttering a word, when the f] skipper with a deep expiration moved r and knocked the ashes out of his pipe v upon the pin rail, saying as he did b so: s "Wall, I ain't greedy, but dog my |< cats, if I like t* see all this fine weath- w er at this time o' year runnln' to waste in a manner of speakin". Seems u to me we oughter hev seen a whale a about fore this. What d'ye think, e hey?" s There was a dead silence for the tl space of a minute, then the mate re- c plied, and his voice was like the creak- f< ing of a gate: "We hain't ben no great ways frum & whale any time this last few days, I p know, and I guess we're closer to 'em s tcnight than we've ben yet, 'thout see- o in' 'em. But we ain't done so bad; r thar' ain't no cause to grumble so far. tl There's no two ways about the num- c ber of whales bein' Increased of late c years, is there. Cap?" The question remained unanswered, ii for just at that moment, to the utter s amazement of the two men, a gigantic s back arose from the depths right a alongside of the ship, a sound like a d thousand sighs In one was heard and b a bushy cloud of vapor arose from the y protruding snout of an Immense sperm h whale. As the two men gazed stupe- s fled the whole of the great creature c came clearly into view, as if he knew n that the sight of him would arouse envy, admiration and desire and he o was courting the consequences. y Also it seemed as If he knew that the e time was unpropitious for attacking him, being just sunset. But forgetting p the time, the mate suddenly recovered n from his stupor of surprise and roared S( at the pitch of his powerful lungs: fi "All hands clear away boats. W'at yer ben doln' there 'at ye didn't see tl that whale? Ben sleepln', I s'pose, ye s duflfheaded dagoes." b There was an animated rush to the e various boats by a score or so of un- r kempt, vagabond men and in less than a three minutes all was ready for lower- c ing. But the skipper, who had mounted h ' *? ?* ' ... * A V* Ul? <*lnoaoo ohnntpd me rigging win* ***? 5laooto, onvu^vw "Hold on, all!" and there was silence h for the space of five minutes until o again the skipper's voice was heard t from aloft, "Get Into the rigging' ev- ji erybody and look sharp out for that y whale. Can't see him nowhar." lj His order was instantly obeyed, ev- a erybody except the man at the wheel tl climbing to some point whence he d could see all around the horizon and a gazing anxiously about for a sight of d the valuable monster. And thus they stood while the sun went down and h the cool veil of darkness crept over n the scene, until the skipper called out a again, "Make all fast and go below the tl watch," all hope of chase being over h for the night. d Long, earnest and complicated were s the discussions held all over the ship s throughout the night, but especially so y between the skipper and the mate. p Both admitted that in the whole of f forty years' experience they had never known a sperm whale to behave like p that before. But as they said that was r not strange, for no whaling experience p is so long that it cannot continually p meet with some previously unthought y of behavior on the part of a whale, a showing how little we really do know h of the habits of these wonderful denizens of the deep. At last the skipper p turned to go below, saying as he did p so: a "Guess we'll hev that feller 'round t the first streak of daylight, Mr. Taber, t so hev all hands on the key veevy be- 0 fore sun up. I'd like to hev one good t flirht more before I auit the job. I lay p my voyage he's all of a 150 bar'l. || Good night." h The long hours of darkness rolled o away and the first tender streak of greenish gray light In the east saw t every soul In the ship on the alert. All t the boats were cast loose with the ut- t most quietude and every possible prep- f aration made for the fray. s Then as 'he wonderful changes In c the sky which accompany the recur- t ring miracle of the dawn took place s and the dark surface of the sea began a to glow with glorious breadths of color l; there was a simultaneous murmur y from twenty voices of "blo-o-oow," for there, only a couple of cable lengths v away, lay the majestic form of their o overnight visitor gently exhaling the ]( effete air from his vast lungs and tak- s ing In huge draughts of the sweet keen a breath of the morning. 1< A more imaginative crowd might a have hesitated to answer the obvious n challenge, might have wondered what ii supernatural knowledge was possessed by this ocean monarch that he thus i; dared to lie and fiout his deadly ene- n mies, as if he knew all their power and j| held it cheap. But these men only g saw in him so many dollars and cents ft ner niiin onlv recorded him as their t natural prey awaiting destruction at h their hands and mentally assessed his h value in terms of barrels of oil. t; Broad day. and in a whisper the skipper said: "Way boats, quiet now. o I'll kill the man who gallies him. Pad- a dies, and gently does it." There was v hardly a sound as the well greased h falls ran through the blocks, hardly a splash as the four boats took the wa- a ter. h Idke ghosts they swung clear of the t side upon the glassy surface and pro- r pel led by the noiseless paddles glided s away toward the leviathan, the mate f leading, of course. There must. I think, A have been some quickened heartbeats v among the adventurers, for the whole thing was uncanny, unusual, in that ri the great whale had evidently waited o all night, showing no desire to flee. n Nearer, nearer, nearer, until with a r ell that rent the solemn stillness the a mte's harpooner sprang erect and e urled his harpoon full at the motion- v ?ss monster. Missed! For the whale c ad disappeared with hardly an eddy r o mark his going. 1 And as they gazed stupidly at the pot where he had been, a dark shad- v w suddenly rose on the other side of t he boat, and the enormous tall of their * ntagonlst came at them edgeways, I hearing the boat in two and scattering c hem like chips over the sea. Again he lay quietly breathing, and a pparently unconscious of any danger t o himself, until the third boat came t p. ana more iununuie huuuccucu m v lantlng a harpoon Just at the June- J Ion of the neck with the head. I said a lore fortunate, but only that they h truck. For the rest you shall Judge. t That blow converted the wily mon- h ter Into a raging: demon who tore up r he very foundations of the deep In Is Titanic rage. Nothing could be t eard or seen for the stupendous tu- r lult, until subsiding, the tormented a cene revealed the whale free of any 1 amperlng harpoon, lying quietly as a efore, while two boats were now re- uced to useless wreckage. But forunately no one was hurt as yet. We cannot blame the officers of the svo remaining boats that Instead of f ushlng to the attack they paused for j eflectlon. No ordinary whale con- 8 ronted them, It was evident. They r ecognlzed him, of course as a lone t hale morose and savage from having t een ousted from his leadership of a t chool, but never In all their exper- i ?nces had they met one so savage and 8 lly. t Moreover, It was Imperative that the ^ recked boats' crews should be rescued t t once, and, besides, the whale evlnc- t d no desire to go. So they divided the \ pilled men between them, hindering t heir own operations by so much, be- f ?use six men are all that can work ef- v actively In the whale boat. l'" While they were doing this necesary work, the whale meantime look- ^ ig disdainfully on, another boat was e een approaching at Its top speed for ^ ar propulsion. It was bringing the kipper, full of rage at the audacity of t he whale and what he was pleased to all the no-account character of his rew. Without uttering a word to the waitig boats' crew or officers he made ? tralght for the whale, struck It quarely at right angles, his harpoon ( t the same moment plunging deep t own by the side of the hump. The c oat, beautifully handled, shot back- } ;ard under the stress of the oars, and c avlng no sail to hinder, lay in the t mooth water to await the usual exited manoeuvres of the wounded c mmmal. r They did not occur. A slight strain t n the harpoon line told that It was , :ell fast, but the whale neither thrash- j d about the surface nor sounded. This made even the maddened sklper pause. We fear that which we do ot understand, and truly here was omethlng entirely non-understandable * rom a whaleman's point of view. 4 For an appreciable space of time here was a lull, during which only the * light moaning of the wind was audi- 8 le, and every one was breathless with c xpectancy. Then suddenly with a ush and a roar like the unheaval 9f J n earthquake the whale broke water * lose to the skipper's boat and came at * Im straight on end. . r Nobly the skipper maintained his lgh reputation. With a great sweep \ f the steer oar and a shout of "Pull wo, starn three!" he swung his boat < ust clear of the huge head and In a ,'hirl of white It passed him harmlessAnd he, losing no opportunity, took ? Im with his bomb gun and fired as he mighty mass surged past, but the eadly missile only cut a deep furrow < long the blubber of the back and ropped harmlessly on the other side. The whale disappeared and must ? ave turned a complete somersault beeath the surfaqe, for almost Immedltely afterward he came up underneath ? he skipper's boat, striking it with his ead so doughtily that the boat was ashed to fragments and the men, 4 ome of them being badly hurt, were t cattered over the sea surface like . lthered leaves. The skipper reap- 4 eared amid the smother unhurt, but ull of fury at his mishap. The other two boats, already over- 4 iden, came swiftly on the scene and e escued the unfortunate crew, and If rudence ever formed part of a Yan- e ee whaler's equipment when fighting ? .hales they should have retired and t any rate have got rid of their extra * ilnderlng hands. ? But In a hardly articulate voice, beng nearly choked with rage, the sklpier gave orders to "get on the whale < t once," and all the oarsmen bent to he task as If imbued with his spirit, 'he whale, however, as if In pursuance ? - - J 1 _ I a, I'erimn utrsi^u, jusi nc^i vm ui heir reach, sculling In leisurely fashon along the surface, and. It could be maglned, just glancing casually over Is shoulder occasionally to make sure f his distance from his pursuers. This he did for an hour or more unit all hands were goaded Into a condiion of semi-madness, and some of hem were ready to relapse Into panic, eellng that this whale was Indeed posessed of the devil. He showed no sign f fatigue, but then, in great contrast o the usual behavior of a "fast" perm whale, he had indulged In no Imless evolutions, but was apparenty reserving his strength for a time ihen It would be greatly needed. This part of the proceedings, Indeed, rould have been tame but for the fury f the skipper and the mate; they ooked as if madness must supervene hortly. The men, whose monetary ,nd reputatlonal stakes were so much ess, were fast relapsing into apathy, nd In any case the strain upon their nuscles was beginning to tell a waning tale. Suddenly a cry of horror and waning was heard and cut short in the niddle, for the whale, with that amazng agility of which he had already :iven them a foretaste, had reversed lis position and was rushing upon nem. ne reuciieu wieiii, uiruwing nis luge body crosswise as he did, so that lis simultaneous blows of head and all might fall on both boats. And amid a crashing of timber, yells f agony and roaring of water he dlsppeared beneath the surface, which ias all bestrewn with wreckage and lelpless men. Then those on board the ship, who t a distance of less than half a mile lad been watching the fray with inensest anxiety, were suddenly interupted in their task of getting the pare boat off the skids by a shout rom aloft. "He's coming for the ship." ill rushed to the rail to see, and the ision was appalling. He came, a hundred ton battering ? am at fourteen miles an hour, headn, pointing direct for the Desdemo- ? a's broadside. The ship trembled, eeled over nearly on her beam ends, ind as her panic stricken crew climbd upon the weather rail thinking she vas going to capsize, they saw their lestroyer in the last agony with a torem of blood pouring from his spoutiole because he had broken his neck. There was a mass of broken timber vhere he had struck, through which he hungry sea was pouring; but they vere men of resource and action, and cnew also that the thousand barrels of 11 below would float their derelict. I So they divided their small force, I ind while half toiled to get the boat >ut for the saving of their comrades, he rest endeavored to list the ship >ver by shifting the cargo to the uninured side. In little more than an hour ill the survivors?three men had unlupplly lost their lives?were taken on >oard, and doing what in their exlausted condition was possible for the epalrlng of the ship. Meanwhile the gigantic carcass of heir late antagonist floated peacefully lear, as if In death he mocked their inibility to gain anything by him, as in Ife he had shown himself unconquer- j ible except by his own stupendous act. | -Frank T.
