USED NO PET NAMES. And for a Very Good Reason, as Was Shown. The prosecuting attorney in a breach of promise case was y outhful and fresh, and delighted in showing himself off, but he didn’t know what a guy he was until it fell on him with a dull and sickening thud. The defendant had taken the stand. «You say,” said the attorney, after several impertinent questions, ‘that you neyer asked the plaintiff to be your wife ?” “Never,” responded the witness, with emphasis. «‘ But you made love to her ?” 4 ** Not to my knowledge.” «‘ Never called her pet names, either, I suppose ?” «No, sir.” «Now, as a matter of fact, didn’t you call her Lizzie after you had been to see her only three or four times, and always after that, when you knew you should have called her Miss Smith, if you had not been seeking to win her young and trusting heart ?” “No, sir ; I did not.” J The plaintiff pulled the attorney’s sleeve, but he paid no attention to her, says the Detroit Free Press. * Ah, indeed,” very sarcastically. <I presume you never called her Lizzie in your life ?” «I never did.” Again the plaintiff caught at the at- torney, but he ignored her. «Now, once more, sir, I ask you directly to state to the court whether you did or did not call this young lady by the endearing name of Lizzie. Remember, sir, you are on your oath,” and the attorney reared back in his chair, while the plaintiff made another clutch at him. a! The defendant smiled slightly. 2 «I never did,” he said, firmly. The attorney sat forward with a sharp crack of the chair legs on the floor. «I'd like to know why you never did, sir ?” he asked, with the air of a man who knew he had the facts. «* Because,” and the witness was as cool as a palm-leaf fan could make him in June, ‘because that wasn’t her name.” Then it was the attorney heeded the plaintiff's wild clutchings and wanted to hit himself in the neck with a law book, but it was everlastingly too late. Ate the Biscuits in a New Shape. The Widow Jenkins lives in a small house at the edge of a Maine forest, in the heart of which lies a beautiful lake much frequented by summer tourists, says the Minneapolis Times. The widow, assisted by her son Jake, is accustomed to put up the visitors’ horses and to supply the visitors them- selves with meals before and ofter their excursion to the lake. One day she saw a party of four drive up with the guide and, noticing that two of them were ladies, she ex- claimed to Jake quite audibly : “Here's arother lot o’ them eejots !” Mrs. Jenkins was a good cook, but that day, for some reason, she set be- fore her guests a plate of cream-of-tar- tar biscuits which were of such a lead- like consistency that nobody could eat them. She surveyed her gnests with dark disapproval as the meal progressed and at last swept the plate from the table, and, saying, “I’m sorry ye can’t make out t’ eat what’s set before ye,” she left the room. Aslight gloom pervaded the rest of the meal, and Mrs. Jenkins did not re- appear. It was dusk when the tourists reached the house again. “Come right in!” called the owner cheerfully from the kitchen door. “Set right down to your supper; it’s all ready an’ waitin’.” Much gratified at this change in the demeanor of their hostess the party seated themselves atonce. The prin- cipal dish was an enormous Indian pudding, and being exceedingly hun- gry they ate it with thankful hearts. When Mrs. Jenkins had seen the last morsel of it disappear she heaved a sigh of relief. “There,” she ejaculated as the com- pany rose from the table, “Ish’d have give ye more v'riety, but I was bound t’ git that puddin’ eat up! I couldn’t bear t’ think of all them biscuit bein’ wasted, an’ it seemed as if you folks had orter be the ones t’ eat ’em, seein’ they was made a purpose for ye. An’ ye have eat ‘em ; they was worked into that Indian puddin’, ev'ry one of ‘em! An’ now I ain’t got any hard feelin’s to- ward ye.” i Let Us Pray. «I remember a most eminent pro- fessor of divinity at Edinburgh saying that he had gone to a meetirg of 3 ladies’ missionary society in that city at which an immensely stout and very repellent speaker began his address with the sentence, “My dear young ladies, I loafe you very moshe.” The feeling was not reciprocal. And hav- ing ended his address, he said in aloud voice, “Let us bray.” The eminent theologian added with emphasis, «And he did bray.” aes A Watchmekers’ Street. Smartleigh—Now, if all businesses eet ae ee Phe White Star ateaitighip Naronic has been given up as lost. General Hancock’s widow, who has been ill in New York, is better. The farmers of the great corn belt of South Dakota have begun seeding and planting. The Washington Legislature has ad- journed without electing Senator Allen’s successor. It is reported that the Pope has decided finally that Archbishop Satolli shall re- side in Washington. 5 Rev. Dr. Andrew P, Peabody, for fifty years connected with the Faculty of Harvard College, is dead. Mrs. McDonald’s attorneys in the Mc- Donald will case at Indianapolis have prepaired a motion for a new trial. Secretary Carlisle has decided to keep his plans in regard to the gold reserve a secret, as publicity gives opportunity for speculation, Fairbank & Cudahy, of the Chicago Board of Trade, are thought to have cleared $1,500,000 through the recent rise in lard. Gunners near Paterson came upon the body of an unknown man in the woods, The body was in a kneeling posture and was frozen stiff. The spring flood on the Mohawk river was the most disastrous in its history. The damage at Schenectady is estimated at $1,500,000. { Thomas C. Platt has resigned the presidency of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company, to take effect April 1. He will be succeeded by J; F. De Bardele- ; ben. The French Chamber of Deputies voted confidence in the ministry in the face of the late charges affecting M. Bourgeois, whose defence has restored public confi- dence to some extent. Mrs. Frank Leslie Wilde, of New | York, has begun suit for divorce against her husband, William C. Wilde, brother of Oscar Wilde, who deserted her to re- turn to his beloved London. George DeB. Keim, a member of the Electoral College that elected President. Garfield, ex-Sheriff of Philadelphia and a prominent Republican, died at his home in Philadelpuia, from pneumonia aged sixty years. The breaking of an ice gorge in the Rondout Creek, at Eddyville, N. Y., swept the Cornell fleet of steamboats and forty or fifty other boats out in the river. Many boats were crushed and sunk, and several boatmen’s families were rescued with difficulty, W. S. Bowen of West Chester, Pa., has been restored to his pew in St. Agnes’ Catholic Church by Mgr. Satolli. It had been taken away from him six years ago by the present rector, Rev. S. B. Spauld- ing, because Mr. Bowen refused to send his child to the parish school. Prof. Langley, of the Smithsonian Institute, is having a flying machine built under charge of Maxim, the inventor. It is on the aeroplane plan, and will soon be given a trial. Miniature machines have succeeded in raising themselves and flying some distance in the air. iy. The State Legislature of California passed through both Houses a resolution to submit to the people a Constitutional amendment removing the Capitol to San Jose, providing the latter city shall deed to the State ten acres of land and a bo- nus of $1,000,000. The immediate ani- mus of the resolution was an article in a Sacramento evening paper headed “Thank God, the Legislature will soon adjourn,” and professing to recite various misdeeds and mistakes of the Legisla- ture. Length of the Session, A Western Senator, while calling at the White House, was asked about the probable length of the session. He replied that it might last until the latter part of April or the middle of May. The contested election cases from Wyoming, Montana and Washington will create discussion, as several new points have been raised in connection with them. There is a doubt on both sides of the Chamber as to the right of a Governor of a State to make appointments to the Senate after the Legislature has had an * opportunity to elect and failed to perform its duty. The Republican and Demo- cratic lawyers are in doubt on that point, and it will lead to a long debate. The Senators, with few-exceptions, are will- ing to remain in Washington during the spring, which 1s considered the most beautiful season at the national capital. Hope to Find Verhoef. With the hope that Verhoef of the Peary party, and the crew of the lost Kryolite bark Platina may be found alive, preparations are being made to hurry the barks Serene and Argenta, of the Kryolite fleet to Greenland as soon as possible, Both vessels will leave Phila- delphia soon and be due at Ivigtut in about thirty-five days. It expected that Verhoef and Capt. L ence of the Platina and his crew may be at Ivigtut, where a Danish Governor resides during the winter. Verhoef, if alive, could easily have stayed with the Esquimaux and worked his way down the coust from the point where the steamer Kite took on board the party in the early spring.
