QUEER THINGS AMONG OLD BOOKS.
Probably ho man has evter led .a more
prominent life before the public and
f iven it less attention than Gen. Benjamin
Tracy. When the charity coinmis-
«iouers of Kingo county, N. Y., were
indicted for malfeasance in office in 1875
sand retained him as counsel, he was ap
proached by their political enemies and
threatened with a loss of business, if he
'did not withdraw from the case. His
reply was, “I’ll stand by my clients if
they are the last ones I will ever have.”
He kept his word, and after a long and
titter litigation, ho secured their ac
quittal and discharge. Far from injuring
3iis professional career, his conduct and
-.success in this case increased his clientele
.150 per cent, numerically and at least 100
per cent, financially.
In the court room he is a masterly
lawyer and a persuasive and forcible
tut never an eloquent speaker. The
-chief if not the only exception to this
Title occurred in the' famous Tilton-
Tteeclier controversy in which he deliv
ered the opening speech for the defense.
This oration was the gem of that great
atrial, and was printed, quoted and read
•wherever the English language is spoken.
It was published in book form after, and
met with a sale of over 50,000 copies.
The speech was not an impromptu,as was
^believed by many who cculi not con
ceive how a lawyer could write an ad
dress which lasted five entire days. On
the contrary it represented the hardest
work imaginable. It was planned and
started months before the trial. Every
•day he dictated at least 8,000 words and
•.revised, corrected and change*] as many
‘more. There was not a sentence he did
mot go over at least five times before it
■was spoken. During the three weeks
which preceded his address he sat up
every night with his secretary and oc
casionally with friends from 8 o’clock
until 1 in the morning, and on five even
ings until sunrise in the final revision of
afche oration.
As a politician Tracy has few equals
and possibly no superiors in the Empire
.•state. He began his career in the '50s in
Tioga county, then a strong Democratic
•district. A stanch Republican at the
outset, he twice was elected district at
torney, and each time by a handsome
majority. After the war he opened a
flaw ollico in New York, making Brook
lyn his homo. The City of Churches at
that time was controlled by a close cor
poration, consisting of Republican and
Democratic politicians. So far as party
machinery was concerned the two parties
played each into the other’s hands. Un
der such auspices corruption and fraud
flourished everywhere, and the city debt
was rolling up by millions. Tracy opened
war upon the foes in his own household,
and, though opposed by the machine,
routed them foot and horse. With Gen.
James Jourdan and cx-Canal Commis-
'■sioner Silas B. Dutclier he organized his
party and became its recognized leader,
lie was scut to the state committee, and
lor many years held as high a place in
the councils of the latter as in his own
city. Of late years, on account of his
vast law business and mercantile rela
tions, lie has taken littlo or uo active
How People Buy anil Sell Them—A True
Story That Sounds Like Fiction.
“There is probably no doaler in old
books,” said one of the best known
men in that business in this city the
other day, “who has so much experi
ence and sharpness as not to be caught •
napping now and then. I spend the
most of my leisure- time going about
among other dealers, and it is wonder
ful to see what valuable things they
will sell sometimes for a small price,
and what absurd sums they will charge
for tilings that are worth next to
nothing. The other day I was looking
over the books placed outside the door
of a shop and* I found, tied up in a
bundle, a flip of a little paper published
at Brook Farm, that experiment in co
operation tried years ago at WestRox-
bury, Mass. It is now one of the rarest
of American periodicals. The bundle
was marked ‘50ceuts-’ I could scarcely
believe my eyes. ‘Is that the price you
ask for this bundle?' I said to the
dealer.
“He looked at the bundle and then
said carelessly: ‘Oh, noj no; you can
have that for thirty-five cents; if you
want it.’
“And in-bu'ying books , ]peoplo don’t
know, often, when they are getting a
good bargain. Here is an old French
book that few know anything about,
but it is exceedingly curious. Libra

isn’t worth anything. Well, if some-

if it doesn’t sell then I shall double the
price again, and by that time some one
will be sure to want it.”
“Do you never get hold of books
that you find it impossible to sell at
all?”
“No, never; I ha vo had so much ex
perience that I can tell when I see any
book whether I have ever had calls for
it or am likely to have any.
“A good many queer things happen
in this business, but hero is one that
sounds almost like fiction, though it
is every word true. A mail came into
my shop liei*e one day and introduced
himself, saying that though, he had
had a good deal of correspondence
with me, he had never seen me, but
being in New York he thought he
would call, though for no other purpose
than to say ‘good day,’ as he did not
want to buy anything at prcsenL We
talked pleasantly for a few moments
and he looked about the shop. ‘What
is in that big basket?’ he said at last
“The basket that he pointed to was
the same ono that is there behind you
now, and it was full of old legal doc
uments.
“ ‘Oh, nothing of any consequence,’
I replied, setting the basket on the
counter for him to look aL
“He turned over the papers, and
finally asked mo what I would take
for them. ‘I don’t know,’ I -said;
‘wliat will you give for them?’
“ ‘I’ll give you $10 for the - lot,’ he
said, and I took the offer at once.
“He picked out two of the psfj
and put them in liis pocket, and tben
said: ‘Send mo the rest any time;
there is no hurry.’
“ ‘But now that you have bought
this stuff and paid for it,’ I said, ‘I
suppose you won’t mind telling me
what you want of it’

"Benjamin F. TRACY. sentiments dur
ing that bitter struggle between the fac
tions were invariably in favoi* of reconi
dilation or compromise. In the hottest
jiart of the conflict he perceived the in
evitable result of the relations thus cre
ated, and predicted the political losses
and defeats which thereafter occurred.
While he is easy going in politics toward
matters of no significance, ho has the
convictions of a Lincoln and the courage
ot a Grant in regard to any question
which involves a moral principle, no
matter how small.
To Gen. Tracy is due the chief credit
for having created our present system of
internal revenue laws, a system which
collects a .maximum return at a mini
mum expense. In the early part of the
war these laws were based upon the
principles of criminal jurisprudence.
When a man was detected defrauding
the government ho could not be punished
■until a jury had determined first that he
had. committed the act charged, and
second that he had done so with intent
to defraud. The question of intent
•offered a large loop hole ancUwas eagerly
seized and utilized by wrong doors and
eharp attorneys. Where there were
touching circumstances, such as the
prisoner’s sickness, poverty or domestic
distress, it was often difficult to obtain
justice. When the laws were to be re
vised, Gen. Tracy was called in as lead
ing counsel. He cut the Gordian knot
•find established a new system of limiting
the duty of the court to determining
whether the prisoner committed the act
charged against him, and leaving all con
siderations of clemency to the treasury
department. The moment the new sys
tem appeared it was pronouticed uncon-
f-litutional bv eminent lawyers. Never
theless the federal courts sustained its
validity and complimented Tracy’s work
as a st*-:ko of genius. The result of the
ayatem -vas to greatly facilitate the col-
customer was naturally de
lighted with what ho had found, and
he wrote to me afterward to say that
he had collected over $50,000 iu rents
that lie could not get before for want
of those deeds.”—New York Tribune.
A ROOM FULL OF BIRDS.
Ex-Senator Thomas W. Palmer, of
Michigan, who has been nominated min
ister to Spain, lias been called t lie-bucolic
senator of Michigan. He is a great
breeder of horses and is an enthusiast on
the Percheron breed. He has a beauti
ful farm near Detroit, and would rather
raise horses, he has said, than be in
office. Some years ago he saw Rosa
Bonlieur’s “Horse Fair” in A. T. Stew
art’s gallery in New York. He was par
ticularly struck with the Percheron
horses painted there, and sent an agent
abroad to procure some of this rare stock.
The agent was also instructed to secure
fine Arabian mares, which the senator
desired to , cross with tile Percheron
horses.
Upon his arrival at Damascus he
learned that a firman had been issued by
the sultan prohibiting the further expor
tation of horses because of the probability
of war, in which they would be needed.
This did not daunt Senator Palmer’s
agent, neither did the historical belief
that no Arabian horses are ever disposed
of except as gifts to royal personages
and for purposes of war. He pushed on,
and had little trouble In jiersuading the
sultan to revoke his firman in the inter
est of a United States senator. He was
elated by his success, but he failed in his
effort to get the horses. The rules against
selling did not prevent; he failed from a
far different cause. Every horse shown
him was spavined, ringboned, wind bro
ken, blind or afflicted with some other
disease to which horses, even the pink
eyed, soft skinned Arabian species, are
subject. Only one horse did the sen
atorial agent see that apparently was
worthy of being transported to America,
and that one, on close inspection, proved
also to be unsound. The enterprise was
given up in despair.
Though failing to get his Arab horses
Senator Palmer’s agent returned with
twenty-four of the finest. Percheron
horses ever brought to America. They
were purchased at La Perche and taken
to Mr. Palmer’s Fort Hill farm.

The steamship Monkseaton, of New
castle, which lost three blades of her
P ropeller when on a voyage from
iverpool to New York, was placed on
the pontoon dock belonging to the
Wallsend Pontoon company, limited,
with 2,000 tons of cargo on board, and
her stern raised out of the water suffi
ciently high to allow the broken pro
peller to he unshipped and a new one
fitted in its- place. The operation of
tipping the vessel took one and a half
hours, and the whole time occupied in
raising her and changing the propel
lers was only twenty-three nours.
The Monkseatou is a vessel of 2,900
tons gross tonnage, and the saving of
time and money secured by her not
having to discharge her cargo must
have been very considerable.—Scien

The Telescope In Maine 100 Years Ago.
CoL J. W. Porter of this city, who
devotes much time to researches in
early colonial history, has lately dug
up something of interest to astrono
mers, it being the fact that the first
observation of an eclipse of the sun ever
taken by scientific men in America
was taken on Long Island (Penobscot
bay) on Oct. 27, 1780. On that oc
casion a party from Harvard college,
headed by the Rev. Samuel Williams
Hollis, having obtained permission
frotai the British general commanding
at Castine, landed at Bounty Cove,
and made the house of Shuliael Wil
liams their headquarters. The totality
of the eclipse was visible only in Pe
nobscot bay, and great interest was
felt in the result of the Harvard peo
ple’s observance thereof, which* was
very successful.—Bangor Cor. New

tractableness, and may be said born
broken to the harness. I harnessed
team of them for the first time one
morning at 8 o’clock. At 9 they were
drawing a plow as well as a well broken
team, and were only a little awkward.
They plowed in the field all day, only
being rested now and them, that their
shoulders might not get sore. The next
day my farmer drove them into the city
of Detroit, and, though they had never
seen a crowd of people, an electric car,
a street car or steam car, or the innumer
able objects displayed in a business city,
they showed, no fear—only a kind of
laudable curiosity. They would smell of
a steam engine, and while I was blow
ing up stamps with dynamite this sum
mer they stood by and watched . the
pieces blown up into the air without
more than raising their eyes at the
sound. I attribute this fact to their re
markable intelligence, in tho first place,
and again to the fact that these horses
had never heard a cross word or been
struck.”
Two years ago he had $100,000 worth
of these horses.
On liis farm Senator Palmer has built
a very handsome house of logs,
couple of years ago, when he took
score of prominent men to the Michigan
club reunion at Detroit, among the
diversions offered, to his guests the sena
tor suggested a trip out to his log house.
A party was made up, and the keeper of
the rural retreat was told to get up
dinner for fifteen persons. But in some
way the word got around that Senator
Palmer was going to give a “grand
spread” at his log house, and when he
and his guests started for their drive
through the woods they were surprised
to find other wagon loads going'in the
same direction.
“I think," said the senator, “that
would be safe to raise that dinner order
to twenty-five.”
Accordingly he stepped into a store that
had a telephone, and r^jsed his order to
twenty-five. When the log house was
reached, the senator was appalled to find
about 200 hungry and thirsty individuals
awaiting his dinner. They were not in
terlopers, but men of distinction in Mich
igan attending the club reunion, and the
senator’s natural hospitality inclined him
to treat them well.
“But what shall I do?” appealed the
distracted steward. “Dinner for twenty-
five and here are 200!”
“Can’t you kill a Jersey cow?*
- “There isn’t time.”
But here a brilliant Idea struck the
senator.
“Why, HI tell you what to do,” he
said. ■ We’ll call it a lunch, not a dinner.
Dinner for twenty-five ought to make
lunch for 200.”
And thereupon the ‘ilunch" was spread.
That it was a success is indicated by the
remark of one of his Vv 7 asliington guests.
“Palmer," said he, Vaa a ‘dinner 1 this

Birds splash in the bath dishes, birds
dart ana tumble and play tricks in the
air. There are ca^es — wire cages,
mind you, not wood—hanging at the
windows. The door of every cage is
open. From every cage door leads a
perch projecting six inches or more
into the room. There are perches
crossing each window. There - are
perches from the gas fixtures to the
windows. There are perches in every
convenient spot in the room.
In front of one of the windows
stands a taSle covered With a rubber
spread. On the table are one or two
perches and a row of tin pie plates
painted a dull brown color and rough
ened by having gravel sprinkled upon
them before the paint was dry. These
are the bath pans. They are full of
water, and a delightful beach picnic
the birds are having in them.
There is matting on the floor in liou
of a earpeL This is a study and bed
room, you remember, and must be
furnished for human as well as
feathered occupation. Matting can be
washed, and does not hold dust enough
to give Mrs. Miller’s little winged
friends the asthma. There are shades
at the windows, but no lace curtains
fQr claws to catch in, tangling up
small toes, There is no upholstery,
but plenty of wooden and rattan
chairs.
There is no embroidery, no knick
knacks, nothing for inquisitive beaks
to pick at anti injure, but there is a
bookcase or two with cloths laid over
the rows of volumes, plainly furnished
dressing table, everything simple, but
sufficient, pretty, not in the least bare.
Under the most frequent perches are
spread newspapers, and, curiously
enough, the bird population keeps to
these, and, Mrs. Miller says, soldom
soils anything in the room.
In a ’far corner well out of their
way—for the bird student does nol
believe iu overtaming tho wild creat
ures—stands Mrs. Miller’s writing desk.
On a stand by its side is a pile of note
books, each lettered with the name of
one of tho birds. Bird tragedies and
comedies, bird loves and griefs, every
phase of bird life and experience is
being enacted, and day by day the wo
man who watehes it all is writing each
bird’s diary, making a library of bird
biography.—New York Mail and Ex
