Taking Him Down a Peg.?Judge Nathan Webb, whose resignation from the United States circuit and dis- ' trict courts, on account of the increasing infirmities of old age, is announced, will take with him in his retirement the profound respect and affection of I the bench and bar, as well as of the i public generally, for his fine traits of t mind and character. To his scholarly e attainments and his broad grasp of the r principles of law he adds a sound com- 1 mon sense and a rugged intellectual * equipment that suggest something of ( the quality of the rockbound coast of ] his native state of Maine. Above all t things else he hates sham and excess- a Ive dilettantelsm. This latter trait of I Judge Webb's character was well 11- l lustrated in his court some time ago, f when a rather overnice witness was on j the stand, who had given his name as, r say, T. Augustus Browne. After this witness had about exhausted the patience of the court by his condescending manner, Judge Webb asked him: "What did you say your name was?" "T. Augustus Browne, with an e," replied the witness. "Well, what does the T stand for?" asked the judge. "Thomas," was the answer. "Proceed with the testimony of Mr. Thomas A. Browne, with an e!" said the judge.?Boston Herald. The Woes of Jane.?A dear little boy whose winter home is in the Oranges in New Jersey and whose summer home is at Glen Summit, Pa., but whose identity shall not be further disclosed, attended a dime school last winter, and, on an occasion when visitors were announced, took part in the exercises in their honor. The exercises comprised recitations by the brighter children, and among them, this dear little boy was called on. He recited in ( perfectly good faith # the following, t which he had learned or caught from t an indulgent nurse with semi-poetical t instinct: j Jane ate cake and Jane ate jelly; Jane went to bed with a pain her? Now don't get excited, Don't be misled, For Jane went to bed with a pain in her head. When the youngster told of this to his entirely surprised and somewhat shocked parents, they asked him: "What did the teacher say?" He replied: "She said nothing. She Just turned around and looked out of the window, but the scholars and the visitors wanted me to say it again."?Brooklyn Eagle. Jim O'Brien's Epitaph.?"I suppose our western country has furnished more funny things in the epitaph line than all the rest of the world," remarked exCongressman Lafe Pence, of Colorado, at the Riggs House. "I remember one that adorned the cemetery at Leadville in the palmy days of that great mining camp. It seems that in the course of a barroom broil one Jim O'Brien, a well-known character, had his existence terminated prematurely. He was a good fellow in the main and not without friends. One of the dead man's associates, in deep grief over his demise, erected a wooden slab over his grave on which he had written in large letters: " 'Jim O'Brien departed for heaven at 9.30 a. m.' "A local humorist happened along shortly afterward, and appended the following: " 'Heaven, 4.20 p. m. O'Brien not yet arrived. Intense excitement. The worst is feared'. "?Washington Daily Times. A Good Memory.?At a little dinner the other night the statement was made that the colored race had longer memories than white folk. Mark Twain, who was present, agreed with the remark, and to prove it told the following: "Some years ago, when South, I met an old colored man who claimed to have known George. Washington. I asked him if he was in the boat when General Washington crossed the Delaware, and he instantly replied: 'Lor', massa, I steered dat boat.' " 'Well,' said I, 'do you remember when George took a hack at the cherry tree?' "He looked worried for a minute, and then, with a beaming smile, said: " 'Why, suah, massa, I dun drove dat hack mahself.' "?New York Tribune. That Dinner.?"These biscuits, Mrs. Choate," said King Edward, reaching for another one, "are the best I have eaten for many a day." The hostess' face was wreathed with smiles. "I am glad to hear you say so. Your Majesty," she said, with pardonable pride. "I made them myself." "This pie. too," he added using his fork to pry off another mouthful, and eating the same with evident relish, "is just like the pies mother used to make." These details, which were omitted? perhaps inadvertently?by the correspondents, show that King Edward's j dinner at the American ambassador's, was even a more notable event than the people have generally supposed.?Chicago Tribune. Must Be Sprinters.?Down in Vir- ; ginia, according to Representative i Swanson, they have a "razorback" hog ( that is very lean and runs like a grey- . hound at a county fair. An enterprising Pennsylvanian exhibited some fine, 1 fat. sleek Berskshire hogs, thereby ex- t citing the curiosity of a Virginia moun- , taineer. "What kind of hogs are those?" he ' asked. ' "Berkshires." was the reply. I "Well, stranger." said the mountain- * eer, "those kind may be fine hogs, but they're no good down in this country. 1 A hrifr that can't rim faster than a nier- * ger ain't worth a d?n."?Washington t Post.

Gastonia Gazette, June 20: Among :he passengers on the southbound C. & M.-W., Wednesday afternoon, was a rentleman who left Livernool. Satur lay, June 7, and arrived in New York ast Saturday. He was hurrying hrough to Clover; said he was tired of :raveling The thresher companies .vill not declare any great dividends his year. The crop is so short that it vill in some cases take two or three ilantations to furnish a threshing. Mr. f. M.

At any rate, Dr, Flinders Petrie, s the eminent archaeologist, has come t< forward with a little story which cannot but have this effect. r' Dr. Petrie announces that he has deciphered the cuneiform inscription on a F tablet which he excavated in the plains a of Assyria, and believes that it is a copy of a prehistoric comic paper. ? Among other items it contains the following merry jest, in which the ancient ^ prototype of the present day "oldest Inhabitant" is plainly outlined. Dr. * Petrie's translation reads: P Now, there were gathered together P at the place of telling stories many of them that have lived long in the land, r and one of them lifted up his voice and tl said: * b "Behold, it groweth cold with much extremeness." Whereupon another made answer, *' saying: n "Verily It doth. But let us get hence, a for here cometh Methusalem, the aged, 11 and If we tarry he will tell us again of ^ the cold spell of the year 40." And they gat hence with much speed. In a similar line with Dr. Petrle's dis- " covery are the results of the researches of a learned German philologist, who 1 has recently traced several of the fa- n miliar slang phrases now In vogue 11 through half a dozen languages to their Cl beginnings. Here are some of them: "To give the cold shoulder." It ap- 1( pears that it was at one time the eustorn in France, when a guest had outstayed his welcome, to serve him with 11 a cold shoulder of mutton at dinner in- 15 stead of a hot roast. When the cold F shoulder made its appearance at table, 'r therefore, the guest was supposed to take It as a gentle hint that It was time s for him to go. ? "To kick the bucket," is another n phrase that might be presumed to have y originated with the light and flippant youth *of modern times, but it seems e that dates back to the days of good Queen Elizabeth, of England. One Hawkins, a shoemaker, committed sui- n cide one day by standing on a bucket, which he had placed upon a table in R order to raise himself sufficiently to a fasten the noose to a convenient rafter. a When the knot was tied, he kicked the n bucket away and swung into eternity. "Apple-pie-order" Is, on its face, a " term of good old New England origin. a for where else has pie flourished in equal luxuriance? A certain Hepzlbah a Morton, whose name smacks of New e England equally with pie, was in Purl- ^ tan times in the habit of baking two or s three dozen apple pies every Saturday, h which were to last the family through a the week. Hepzlbah placed the pies jn 13 the pantry, labelling a certain number for each day of the week. Needless to say the pantry thus arranged was In n apple-pie order. r The term "deadhead," according to a the German investigator, is as old as h the Christian era, a fact which ought to afford some consolation to modern c proprietors of the theatres, owners of railroads, operators of telegraphs, and others who have calls upon them for 's "deadhead" favors. In Pompeii people who gained admittance to an entertainment without paying were called "deadheads," because the checks used s for such admissions were small ivory death's heads. "A feather in one's cap" is also a phrase of some antiquity. It originated from the custom of the Hunga- a rians, during their wars with the Turks, c to wear a feather in their caps for each Turk killed. In its modern application a it is not always necessary to kill a Turk in order to be eligible to have a feather in the cap, but a "killing" of a some sort is certainly presupposed. The word "chic," so dear to the b French heart, and, indeed, of very frequent use the world over, which has a just secured recognition by the French ' Academy, is fully two and a half cen- n turies old, and Is of German origin. a In its original form it was spelled * "Shick," and was thus used by Schiller ^ in the first piece of the Wallenstein trilogy. Two cavaliers boast of their a pranks and prowess to a Wachtmeister, and flatter themselves that posterity 1 will talk of them for centuries to come. 3 The Wachtmeister replies: "Shall these 0 things be talked about? It is not riot - ? v, ana juniteting tnat maKe a soiuier. tie u needs time to acquire wit and Schick." ^ This "Schick" was doubtless a patois * abbreviation of "geschick," which ad- a dress or skill, and also appearance. Its ? expressiveness at once appealed to the n French soldiers who heard it used in b Germany during the Thirty Years' war, and on their return to France b they brought it back with them. 11 A more modest philologist than either s Dr. Petrie or the German professor, a who, because his researches and fame are as yet limited, was unwilling that his name snould be used, gave the a writer some further Instances of mod- V ern catch-phrases which were known sl and appreciated years ago. "Why," said this observant Individual. "I was going through some of Dickens's works the other day?second ol reading, you know?and in one book w alone, 'Martin Chuz/.lewlt,' I found hi pretty nearly everything that has c< passed for new in the way of 'gags' in the past ten years." 01 This sweeping assertion being ques- H tioned, the amateur philologist pro- hi needed to marshal his facts. "First." he said, "there's that 'Nothin' tr Join*.' That's pretty new, isn't it, don't tl ou think? Well, Dickens coined It 40 ears ago. Just look here." Taking down a copy of "Dombey & on," and turning to chapter 4, where Tncle Sol was lamenting to his nephew lat times were not what they used to e at the old shop, he read the followlg from Uncle Sol's reflections: "You see, Walter, In truth this busless is Just a habit with me. I am so ccustomed to the habit that I could ardly live If I relinquished it; but here's nothing doing, nothing doing." Then he took down his "Martin Chuzlewlt," and picking out places which e had marked with notes on the back, egan: <4 * IJ <4 IT + a iew years ago, ne suiu, x uun hink' had quite an extended run. yhen people wanted to emphasize a egatlve they asserted the affirmative nd added, 'I don't think.' Well, that's nother of Ulcken's. Here It Is in 'hapter 6. " 'Tom Pinch - pursued his rumlatlons thus: 'I'm a nice young man, don't think, as John used to say," etc. "Here's another: "Sir, your servant,' said Mr. Peckniff, taking off his hat; 'I am proud 5 make your acquaintance.' " 'Come oft the grass, will you,' oared the gentleman. " 'I beg your pardon, sir,' said Mr. 'ecksnlff, doubtful of his having heard right. 'Did you?'? " 'Come off the grass,' repeated the entleman warmly." "There you are," said the Observant fan; "there's the origin of 'Come off he grass" or 'come off the perch, fere's another; It's about 'doing peole," " and he fingered over a few more ages and read: "A bargain," said the son, "here's tne ule for bargains?'Do other men, for hey would do you.' That'9 the true usiness precept. All others are counsrfelts." "Now, there's that song, 'Just Tell hem that you Saw me,' continued the lan. That had quite a run not long go, and of course everybody thought he idea quite original. But Just look ere, and he turned over some more ages and read, where Tom Pinch was diking to the kind-hearted hostess of he Dragon: "Say you saw me," said Tom, "and hat I was very bold and cheerful, and ot a bit down-hearted; and that I enreated her to be the same, for all is ertaln to come right at last." "There are half a dozen others at >ast that I have marked. Here are a ?w: "Very fine talking, Tom (it is Marin Chuzzlewit addressing Tom Pinch,) ut I'm at Pecksiff's, I remember.* * * 'erhaps you've heard again this mornlg from what'-s-his-name, eh?" "And never, Mrs. Harris (it is airey Gamp loquitur,) whilst I've a rop of breath to draw will I set by, and ot stand up, don't think it." "I ast our pardon ma'am," says Mrs. Harris, and I humbly grant your grace; for if ver a woman lived as would see her eller creeturs into fits to serve her riends, well do I know that woman's ame is Sairey Gamp." Then you will notice that, though irs. Gamp does not say anything bout hoping "the cat may spit" in nybody's face, she certainly orlgiates one part of an expression which i quite common among school chilren of a certain age today. Here's nother: "Being a fat little woman, too, (it is gain Sairey Gamp who figures, being ncountered on the street by Tom inch and his sister), she was in a tate of great exhaustion and intense eat. She had been grievously knocked bout, no doubt, for her bonnet was ent into the shape of a cocked hat. Another: "Keep your eye upon him in the lean while (Jones is speaking to the edoubtable Sairey), and don't talk bout it. He's as mad as a March are." "There," said the amateur philogist, losing his Chuzzlewit with a bang, I'v still more of them marked, but hat's enough to prove what I said, m't it?"?Philadelphia Times. WISDOM OF THE SHEIK. leans by Which an Arab Who Stole a Missionary's Money Was Detected. Here is a true story of a missionary, n Arab sheik and his people, told reently by an American, a prominent ofcer of the American Foreign Misslonry society. It has the flavor of the Arabian Nights" about it: The missionary had occasion to visit wild and desolate part of the counry. One night his eyes were gladdened y the sight of a camp, in which he ound a shiek whom he knew, a good nd kindly old man with deep, searehig eyes, silent and thoughtful for the lost part, whose occasional utterances lmost invariably left one thoughtful, lis people seemed wrought from different stuff?low-browed, desperate >oking men, given to much muttering mong themselves, with quick, sideing glances that took in much while he lips remained silent or moved in wlft, half-whispered speech, Intended nly for the ear of a comrade close by. The missionary was received cordially y the sheik and made welcome. Vearied after many days of travel, of he heavy leathern belt which he wore round his wait, which contained two r three hundred dollars in silver, the lissionary took it off when he went to ed and folded it under his pillow. In the morning when he awoke, the elt and its contents were gone. DIsressed he went to the tents of the heik and found the old man already wake and sitting calmly before his ?nts watching his flocks at pasture. The sheik listened to the missionry's story of his loss in grave silence. irhen the missionary had finished the tieik said simply: "I will get your money back for you; ust me." Then the sheik called for all the men f the camp to assemble. When they ere all there he told them what had appened and called for the thief to >me forward and give up his spoils. He waited for a full minute, but no le stirred. This his brow darkened, e bade them disperse, saying that in llf an hour they must come again. At the end of thirty minutes the ibesmen again assembled, and again le sheik called for the thief to give up the silver and the leather belt. For the second time no one came forth. "Bring me the mule with the white star In Its forehead," he ordered. And when the mule was brought, "Put It In the tent yonder." And when this was done, "Let every man pass Into the tent, one after the other. Let each man, having entered, close the flap Dehind him, and when he and the mule are totally alone let the man take a firm grasp on the tall of the mule. If the mule brays that man is the thief." One after another the men passed Into the tent, let down the flap, remained a moment and then raising the flap, emerged. It was a strange experience for the missionary. To him It seemed both childishly ridiculous and indefinably solemn. Despite his better Judgment he found him waiting with /m.Arioh Intontnoaa fnr thp hrnv of the mule. But the little group of trembling candidates for the tail-grasping ceremony thinned and thinned until the last man had passed within the tent and had returned, uncondemned. Then the tribesmen looked bewildered, toward the sheik, to see what he would do. It was a crucial moment. The sheik stirred as if from a dream, and, raising his voice so all should, hear: "Now let every man come to me, in turn, and as he draws close, let him place his hands on my face, one on either side, and I will tell who is the thief, since the mule will not." The first man who came to the sheik knelt on the ground before him and placed his nands on the old man's face. The sheik instantly dealt him a gentle blow on the shoulder, indicating that he was not the guilty person. The others followed in the same fashion. More than a score had passed, when suddenly the sheik placed both his hands on the shoulders of the man before him and cried out: "This one is the thief: this one stole the visitor's silver!" The man trembled violently, throwing his hands above his white face in supplication. The sheik shook his head and repeated his declaration, whereat the man fell upon his face, grovelling at the sheik's feet, and confessed his guilt. Men were sent to the hillside whither the guilty man directed them, and presently the silver and the leather belt were brought and put in the missionary's hands. The sheik then bade the people disperse. Astonished, the missionarv ureed the sheik to tell him how the thing had been done. "As you are to go out from us now," he said, "never to return, I will explain. It is simple enough. "My people must often be governed through their superstitions. After the thief refused to confess the first time, during the half hour I gave him to do so I singled out the white starred mule, and, unseen by any, smeared his tail with the oil of a pungent herb. When the mule was put in the tent I ordered the men to go in and grasp his tail. "Thieves are cowards and I knew well enough that the man who stole your silver would shrink from doing what I had commanded. So I directed that the tent flap be put down.
