A naval officer tells the following storv of Carpenter McGloin. an odd character employed in the navy, who for many years was a sort of privi leged P< rson in the service, because of his unflagging spirits and wit. The old Pensacola was once com ing up to San Francisco from Hono lulu. when she met a severe gale. McGloin who in heavy weather usu ally became seasick, promptly “turn ed in.” Shortly after his disapperance. it was reported to the captain that something was amiss with the fore- top mast. According. McGloin’s ser vice as carpenter being necessary at this juncture, he was sent for. Stag gering on deck he began to make a series of excuses, which were cut short by the commanding officer, who ordered the carpenter to go aloft to Tscertaln what was wrong with the mast. The proposition struck McGloin with such amusement that, it took away his breath. “Up that mast,’’ muttered he, “in such weather as this?’’ “Yes. up that mast,” reiterated the commanding officer strenly, “and quickly too!” McGloin decided to enter a last despairing portest. “Cap’n,” said he. ‘do you honestly mean that I am to "o up that mast in such weather? Why. this is an awful gale!” The officer lost patience. “You’re impertinent, man!” exclaimed he, “And I’ve allowed you too much talk already! Up that mast now!” “All right,” mournfully‘wailed Mc Gloin. as he prepared to obey the or der- “but,” he added, with a re proachful glance at his superior of ficer, “Cap’n. if there was a four inch plank from rere to Brooklyn, rather than go up that mast. I’d walk home!” DR. J. M.

I To Get The Jury’s Sympathy. Ex-Senator Lindsay, of Kentucky, says that a lawyer in that State who was retained as counsel for the Plain tiff a suit against a certain corpor ation in course of his argument in court, in the usual manner of law yers. endeavored to gain the sym pathy of the Jury for his client. “Gentlemen of the jury,” declaim ed the attorney, “who are the par ties to this important) litigation? Here, on the one hand, we have an excessively rich and powerful cor poration. and there, on the other hand, is my poor, simple, uneducated client.” In this wise continued the lawyer; and finally so worked upon th* feel ings of the jurors that they quickly returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff. It would appear, however, that the litigant, who was & man of consider able intelligence, was not exactly ex ultant over the means employed to defend his suit for when a friend some days after spoke of the case, he said: “Yes. that man’s a flue lawyer, all right, and he won my suit for me. But I’d never employ him again. Do you know, h.e called me a fool, and made the Jnry believe it!” Reform The Prl*one. An incident in Governor Denee.i’s campaign for the nomination in Mi- - shows his «en-e of humor. He was making a speech in the Chlcigo “Ghetto.” and part of hie platform was advocating reform of the penal institutions of the State. Hp had treated the subject most se riously. and when he closed his ap peal the applause was tremendous. But the future governors face broke Into a snvi e. and he resorted to his handkerchief to cover a laugh. When outride the hall and on the wav to deliver the next speech he said: “When I got through talking about prison reform I noticed that t'-oro wore tb-e* fellows on the front row who led the applaus. There woe so-noth "K familiar about their faces, and as I looked them over I remembered that as State’s attorney I had secure penitentiary sentences against all three of them. They be lieved in reform of the nenal institu tions.” A Woman's New Title. A widow Morgan, who flourishel in Richmond an^ who did a little banking business on her own account, cashing bills for men in distress, made h»r appearance at Old Point in the helrht of the season. "She must be a lady of quality,” said one. “A marcMohess,” said another. “A duche°a” said a third. “The powers! You're all wrong. 1 said an armv office. ”1 know this ladv we 1 !: she’s not even a countess!” "What then ’’ was the simulta neous question. "Why. gentlemen, the fact Is she is a djscountess.” Hanged. The following lines were written bv Frances Silvers, who was hanged in Morganton. N. C.. on the 12th of July. 1833. for the murder of hei tiusband: This dreaful dark- and dismal day Has swept my glories all away; ' sun goes down, my days are past. And I must leave this world at last. O Lord, what will become of me? am condemend. you all now see; To heaven or hell my soul must fly. All in a moment when I die. Judge Daniel has my sentence passed. These prison walls I leave at last; Nothing to cheer my drooping head Until I’m numbered with the dead. But. O that dreadful judge I fear; Shall I that awful sentence heax? Depart,, ye cursed, down to hell. And forever there to dwell. know that frightful ghost I’ll see. Gnawing their flesh in misery. And then and there attended be For murder in the first degree. Thre shall I meet that mournful face Wlhose blood I spilled upon this place; With flaming eyes to me he’ll say, Why did you take my life away? His feeble hands fell gently down. His chattering tongue soon lost its sound To see his soul and body part It strikes with terror to my heart. took his blooming days away. Left him not time to God to pray. And if sins fall on his head. Must I not bear them in his etead? The jealous thought that first gave strife To make me take my husband’s life. For mouths and days I spent my time. Thinking how to commit this crime. And on a dark and doleful night I put his body out of sight; With flame I tried him to consume, But time would not admit it done. You all see me and on me gaze: Be careful how you spend your days, And never commit this awful crime, But trv to serve your God in time. My mind on solemn subjects roll, My little child—God bless ita soul; A” you that are of Adam’s race Let not mv fault this child disgrace. Farewell, good people; you all now eee What mv bad conduct brought on me; To die of shame and of disgrace. Before this world of human race. Awful, indeeed. to think of death. In perfect health to lose mv breath; Farewell mv friends. I bid adieu— Vengence on me must now pursue. Great God! how shall I be forgiven? Not fit for earth, not fit for heaven; But Httle time to pray to God. For now I try that awful road. Frightened By Degees. In a small town of Kansas not long ago some individuals interested in sanitary measures engaged the ser vices of a. scientist from Chicago to lecture on bacteriology. In the au dience were a man an.I his wife, the gardners and housekeeper of the leading citizen of the town. These worthy people, entirely ignorant of the subject of the lecture's discourse, had been attracted to the hall by the announcement that magic-latern views would be exhibited. The two took seats in the rear of the hall. In the course of the lecture they evinced on signs of approval or objection; but when the discourse was concluded the gardner was heard to ask* his wife: “Maggie, did you pay attention to what that Chicago man had to say?’ “Yes. jes’ as well as I could,” was the reply. ' “An’ air J'e scared?' “Yes. I am scared .as much as I understand of it.” A Monument In Contrast. When Mr. Knox, now senator from Pennsylvania, went to Washington to take up the portfolio of the attor ney-general, he received a bit of good natured chaff from his colleagues in the cablnent by reason of his dlminu live stature. One day Knox was telling Sh&w, secretary of the treasury, of a sight seeing trip he bad made about Washington. "Do you know,” said he. that until this present trip to the capital. I never had visited Washing ton monument? Well. I slipped down today and had a look at it Besides that I had mv photo taken while I was standing at the base of the shaft” “And how did the monument stand the contrast?” slyly queried Shaw. “Really, it didn’t present so inslg nifleant an appearance as you might imagine,” responded the attorney general.

Bart Kennedy, the noted English novelist, told in New York a story in Washington,” said Mir. Kennedy, “and I have every reason to believe it is true. “A senator hurried into the senate chamber one morning earlv and said to a page: ” ‘Young man. did you find a ten dollar bill on my desk last evening? I wrote a letter, intending to Inclose the bill, but somehow I failed to do so and left it behind on the blotter.’ “ ‘Yes, senator.’ said the page, tak ing out his wallet. T did find that bill and here it is. And it’s a luck ' thing for you. sir. that some of the other senators happened in before I saw it.’” A Hungry Ear. (Tit-Bits.) In a little school house in the north of Scotland, the school master keepes his boys grinding steadily at their desks, but gives them permie- sion to nibble from their lunch bask ets sometimes as they work. One day. while the master was in- str”'“ ' T a class in tne rule of three, he noticed that one of his pupile was paying more attention to a small tart than to his lesson. “Tom Bain,” said the master, “lis ten to the lesson, will ye?’’ “I’m listening, sir.” said the boy. “Ustening. are ye?” exclaimed the master. “Then ye*re listening wl’ one ear an’ eating pit wi’ the other.” How It Happened. “So you are a hermit, eh?
