The ! hansom tab driver beamed vvitli delight ! at having brought such an illustrious per- j sonnge. tit id gave the hotel servants full . particulars as to how, when and where he I had hccuso lucky as to pack up “stie great ! Fred.” Two hours afterward, when the sallo a manger of the Grand hotsl was f ull, afl heatls turned simultaneously to sec Mr. i Frederick Archer chut the reotn. He was in evening dross, and lookvd exceed- : ingly well, llis gleaming linen set off ; th« paleness of his complexion; his black, 1 shiny hair was cr.reluliy but simply parted—in fact, there was not a detail of i bis elegant toilet which was not perfec'.-Iy j correct. Mr. Archer, formerly a stable j lad, looked at that moment like the most ! distingue of gentlemen. If, however, you 1 went and seated yourself at Ida table, by ! the side of Capt. Barclay, his constant [ acolyte, you speedily saw that Fred Archer distinction was only superficial, i Sneering (ricananl alno menus ‘‘giggling”,' ] every moment, and larding his remarks j with (ho most malaproposoatlis, he «i»oke ! in a drawling and nasal tone of Ids vie- I lories, hrs Lets, of all which concerned him personally. It was money which concerned him most. Frederick Archer was very miser ly, and the other jockeys, Iris rivals, say | that tho great sobriety which disS.in- | guished him was the result less of virtu- j ous tendencies than of a horror of "part- j ing.” Like all true iwisc*”;*, Archer not ■ only wanted to’keep nil ho had made but to make as much more as pcs.dbk*. It is princi, dly owing to this characteristic beyon»! a doubt that ho has died “ten times a millionaire.” Other Lnydish .Jockeys have earned large sums: Archer is tho only .no among them who knew how to keep his money. Archer always had tho best mounts. Other jockeys wer** just as good, but he was the fa: • on. until the public began to believe that there was only one jockey, only one Archer, in the world. Archer had p’-onty of spirit, and las method was :i successful one; hurt tho principal ex- porta of the English turf say that he often lost races through being over confident. His great endeavor was to “finish” bril liantly; this often gave him the appear my Diomedes’ attire! How well hath be preserved his toga and his buskins from the last season—surely he will not want others fur mouths to come!’ ” "By the temple, you must be blind, Iliparchominc!” cried Diomedes. “Upon this toga there are many stains both here in front and elsewhere, too, where I un guardedly bare sat on benches newly painted. And, look you, how tluit my buskins do bag at the knees!” “Xot so, O Diomtfues,” quoth TTiparche. “Have I not eyes to see? Yet, even were it as yon say—and so it is not—th’re is about you a beauty end manly grace that all people blind to what y*>u wear. Heins, ai, ai? "tis not so with me—ai, ai. helas! not so with your ILparche! It has pleased the gods to make me very human, and though I seek to be comely In your eyes I find it hard to bo so. Look with your two eyes, O Diomedes, upon this flowing robe of mine axd tell me is it not dowdy? By Zeus, I am ashamed to be seen wearing it in the Acropolis, the more so since but to-day I’haxylla—she whom I detest—paraded before the house clad in a new gown of Carthaginianpur- pL!” “By Hercules,” protested Diomedes. “your robe beseems you: it hath preserved its color and hath not last its shapeliness. I like it well, remembering that I prid My coma* tiie Cretan three tetradrachir.'S of silver starters for it.” “Nay. by that same Hercules, ’tie dowdy!” cried Iliparehc, and thereupon she fell to weeping and to beating of her breast and to tearing of her hair, uttering wild oaths to Pallas Athena and calling the gods to witness that she wished sto never had been born to wed a man who cared not how his wife looked so long as he himself was well clothed. Whereupon P’omedcs, touched wljh compassion for Hiparche, drew from his purse four tetra- dracinns, being his week’s salary, and bade her buy tho raiment she desired. 'Tow, by the dog, how are the timas changed! In these degenerate days we have no semblance to Tiiparche, the Athenian wife! O Zeus and ye other gods immortal, dwellers on high Olympus, Low hardly hast thou dealt with poster ity, preserving the like of Diomedes through all ages down to this very mo ment, but giving to our companionship none such as Hiparche to mulct us of our love, of our devotion and of eur tefra- draehms—Chicago Nows-.

Henderson's store on Laurens street The cry of tire" was first raised by one ! of the Recorder’s force ami a crowd 1 soon rallied to the spot and the engine i shortly after.

The kitchen in the yard of the j Recorde.1 office took fire on the shed j from sparks, but owing to the active ! . j work of lawyer Edward J-Dickerson, j and two other colored men it was 1 extinguished before serious damage was done, though a considerable hole , was burned in the roof The out build-1 mgs of Mo-srs.

Her husband died suddenly, and after ward uu attempt was made to take the farm from her by a suit in ejectment. She could show no papers to show her title, but gave a plain, straightforward statement of her caso in a manner that convinced every one that she had a moral if not a legal right to hold the property. Judge Greer, wiio was then on the bench, was not sentimental and charged the jury in favor of the plaintiff, according to the strict rules of the law. To his surprise the jury brought in a verdict in favor of the defendant. Judge Greer ordered a new trial immediately. ‘When the case cr.mo up again substantially the same tes timony was presented and the jury again brought in a verdict for the defendant. “I waat you to understand,” said Judge Greer to the jury, “that it takes thirteen men in this court to Heal a man’s farm,” and he directed that the case be again put j meet Finest confectionary in Aiken at the New York Pharmacy’.

When, in tho course of time, it was called, Judge Greer uskod the defendant’s attorneys what they pro posed to prove, and when they outlined simply what had been presented before, he refused to let them examine their wit nesses, and ordered a verdict for the plain tiff. The case was appealed to the supreme court, and was reversed a:td sent back for trial by reason of Judge Greer’s refusal. When it came up for trial again Judge Hampton was on the bench, and although he ruled just as Judge Greor had during the past trials, the jury found for the defendant. A new trial was again ordered, but it never came r.p, and the widow now lives in peaceable possession of the farm, having acquired a legal title by reason of adverse posses sion It is one of the most remarkable assertions of power on tho part of a jury that ever occurred in this state.”—Pitts burg Brass.
