A Pen Picture ot Gladstone M He Ap

A frock ooat of fine black cloth dis
closes an ample front of linen, expand
ing within a low-cat, rather old-fash
ioned styte of vest. Brown trousers
end in snuff-eolored silk hose and neat
low’ shoes. He takes his seat in the
middle of the Treasury bench with ap
parent self-unconsciousness, and pro
ceeds to fold his arms, cross his . legs,
and think, with, apparently, no more
sense of attitude or audience than a
boy alone in a school-room. His con
templation h'as the symptoms of dis
turbed sleep, for he is restive and
troubled. His mouth is drawn down
and in until the lips seem a thin, ir
regular, uncertain line. The face is
broad, noble, all but majestic in its
firm lines of vigorous old age. The
scanty fringe of scattered gray around
chin and cheeks meets the sparse silver
locks upon his bald, great bead. It is
a great head physically massive,
square, broad, angled sharply at the
cheek-bones and ears-, a head which
would be chosen by a painter for a
statesman's model, but not for that of
an actor or artisan or merchant.
It is such a head as a great thinker
would have in any domain of pure
study. It recalls no other great head
unless, around the mouth, Daniel Web
ster's; across the eyebrows, Beeth
oven’s. I have seen him sit absorbed
in mere contemplation for a half hour
at a time, moving no muscle but the
ends of the fingers of both hands, and
these move incessantly. When the
thinking fit is closed, and an action re
solved upon, he proceeds to its effect
uation with alertness. He is quick in
all his movements. A letter is handed
him. He tears the cover open rudely,
adjusta his glasses, squares the manu
script, sits upright with his legs crossed,
and wags one foot in steady rhythm
•while he reads quickly down the page,
turns to the next, and, after following
the Hnes to the end, reflects a moment,
lays the sheet across his lap, reflects
again, twirls his fingers, reads the
whole letter to the end onoe more, and
then carefully folding it puts it on the
table before him. With the eagerness
of a boy, he takes a folding portfolio
off the table, adjusts it upon his knees,
dips a long goose quill into the ink at
the edge of the table, aud writes with
rapidity eight or ten lines, then pauses,
reflecting over some artful phrase to
entice, to reproach, to conceal a
thought, to tease or entrap. The
feather end of the quill is meanwhile
sometimes between his lips and some
times between his teeth. When the
shaping of some specific thought is
thus labored on to completion the pen
runs over the paper again speedily,
and the finish is made with a little
gesture of self-satisfaction, as if, after
all, the task were a trifle wearisome
but the effort not without reward.
I have watched him carefully
through many speeches, some obvious
ly prepared in part, some bum wholly
of the moment of their delivery. He
stands at ease, resting one side against
the edge of the table, which is high
enough to afford some sense of repose.
The nervousness in his fingei’s causes
him to cluteh something and toy with
it—papers, books, pens. He never
strikes attitudes, never mouths or
makes grimaces or smirks, or by pal
try devices of throat, or eyes, or hands
distract his hearers from h.is poverty of
matter by his levity. He is simple,
natural and clear-voiced, but the voice
is not as full and far-carrying as it
used to be. He rarely gesticulates ex
cept with brief waves of the hands.
One might almost describe his physical
characteristics when speaking at the
table as monotonous. There is a tem
pered and regulated variety in it nev
ertheless. There are impassioned pas
sages in all his momentous speeches
•which must have carried him away
from himself; and during this debate,
albeit wariness and tact have been con
ti oiling ideas on his-side of the com
bat, rather than valor and defiance,
he lias sometimes permitted himself to
become vehement. — A T . Y. Sun.
COMPLETELY ROUTED.
How a Stubborn Witness Confounded a
Quick-Witted Lawyer.
Perhaps we have all known a man or
woman who was incapable of giving
an answer, yes or no, to a direct ques
tion.
Thei’e are such people. They are
equally incapable of being impertinent
or tantalizing, but their habits of
thought are widespreading and their
manner of speaking must be diffusive.
Let such a man—or, to make mat
ters worse, a woman—bo subpoenaed
•as a witness in court, and thequickest
witted lawyer known to the bench is
most often completely routed.
A case in point was that of a man
who had been placed on the stand with
the expectation of developing through
him the character of the prisoner at
the bar.
The following was the result of the
rash step:
“Do you know the prisoner well?”
asked the lawyer.
“Never knew him sick,” replied the
witness.
“No levity,” said the lawyer, stern
ly. “Now, sir, did you ever see the
prisoner at the bar?”
“Had many a drink with him at the
bar.”
“Answer my question, sir,” yelled
the lawyer. “llow long have you
known the prisoner?”
“From two feet up to five feet ten
inches.”
“Will the court make the ”
“I have, your Honor,” said the wit
ness, anticipating the lawyer, “I have
answered the question. I knowed the
prisoner when he was a boy two feet
long and a man five feet ten ”
The lawyer arose, placed both hands
on the table in front of him, spread his
legs apart, leaned over the table in
front of him, and said: “Will you tell
the court what you know about this
“That ain’t his name.**
'•What ain't his name?’*
“Case.”
“Who said it was?”
“You did. You wanted toknow what
I knew about this Case—his name is
Smith.”
“Yoor Honor,” howled the lawyer,
plucking his beard out by the roots,
“will you make this man answer?”
“Witness, you must answer the
questions put to you,” said the Judge.
“Land o’ Goshen, your Honor, hadn't
I bin doin’ it? Let the counsel fire
away. I’m read}’.”
“Then,” said the lawyer, “don’t beat
about the bush any more. You and this
prisoner have been friends.”
“Never!”
“What! wasn't you summoned hero
as a friend of his?’’
“No, sir, I was summoned here as a
Presbyterian. Neither of us was ever
Friends; no Quaker about him.”
“Stand down!” yelled the lawyer in
deep disgust.
“Hey?”
“Stand down.”
“Can’t do it I’ll sit down or stand
up ”
“Usher, pamove that man from*Tli
box.”
Witness retires, muttering: “Well,
i* he ain’t the thick-headedest lawyer I
ever laid eyes on!” —Chicago Ledger.
UNJUST CONVICTIONS.
Instances Where Law Has BeM a Ter
rible Miscarriage of Justice.
English law has not bee unduly
reckless in the safeguards it affords
against unjust convictions. It may be
taken for granted that so-called “ mis
carriages of justice” will and must
tceur uow and again even in the best
regulated communities, and nothing
that law reformers An do will remove
the risk of error. It can hardly be
doubted that Blackstone rightly in
terprets the spirit of English juris
prudence when he says that the law
would rather that teu guilty persons
should escape punishment than tha*
one innocent man or woman should
suffer unjustly. There have been
cases in which men have been hanged
who were subsequently proved to
have been absolutely guilttess of the
capital crime. It was one of these
teri’ible mistakes which made Chie|
Justice Hale give uttterance to hid
celebrated remark that be would neve*
convict any person of murder or man-*
slaughter “unless the fact were proved
to be done or the body found dead.”
He called it a Warwickshire case, and
the fact that it occurred centuries ago
does not make its lesson less applic
able to the present day. An uncle, it
seems, “had the bringing up of his
niece, to whom he was heir-at-law,”
and was in the habit of chastising her
for disobedience. On one occasion the
girl was heard to beg her uncle not
to kill her, and shortly after
ward she disappeared. The fact
was that she had run away,
and was taken in by a benevolent
stranger. Meanwhile, the uncle was
arrested on suspicion of murder, and
ordered to produce the child; and, as
he could not find her, he adopted the
rash expedient of dressing up another
girl in her clothes and trying to pass
her off as his veritable niece. The
fraud was discovered, and this sealed
the fate of the unhappy gentleman who
was executed for murder. Some years
afterwards his niece turned up alive
and well, and claimed the estates of
which she was heiress. Sir Matthew
Hale mentions a similar case as having
occurred at Staffordshire, “where A
was long missing, and upon strong
presumptions B. was supposed to have
murdered him, and to have consnmed
him to ashes in an oven, whereupon
B. was indict of murder and convict
and executed, and within one year
after A. returned.” Since Hale’s tim#
courts of law have decided that a per
son suspected of murder can not prop
erly be called upon to account for th
disappearance of the supposed victim.
A case somewhat similar in principle
to that at Jersey came once before
Lord Abinger, where a girl was seen
with her child in her arms at six o’clock
in the evening at Tintern, and arrived
three hours afterward at a Welsh vil
lage without the infant. She was in
dicted for murder and acquitted, be
cause as the child had not been found
there was held to be no real evidence
that it was dead. We have to guard
against both dangers —of letting the
obviously guilty escape through some
over-refinement, and of punishing the
innocent. It is well that we should
occasionally be forcibly reminded that
the latter peril is by far the most seri
ous of the two. —London Telegraph.
Keeping Water Cool.
Chaplain Nave writes: “I have
learned from the Mexicans a very sim
ple but useful device for keeping water
cool when far from ioe or well. They
manufacture a porous earthen jar ca
pable of holding three or four gallons
of water, which they fill and hang in
the shade and draft of air when practi
cable. The jar constantly sweats, and
the evaporation going on on the out
side keeps the water at a much lower
temperature than it would otherwise
be. The military resort to the same
device. When no porous jar can be
obtained, another vessel wrapped in a
few thicknesses of gunny-sack, or other
cloth, answers equally well, if kept
wet. If the farmer would wrap the
jug of water he carries to the field in
the same manner, and hang it up to
the limb of a tree, he would find its
contents much more refreshing than if
set in the corner of the fence, after the
common fashion.” United Presby
terian.
—Correct is the man who says tha
majority of the pork consumers do not
want to eat clear grease or even hall
fat. A purely edrn-fedhog from pig
hood to butcherbood is nearly equiva
lent to a skinful of lard oil. More lean
meat is a great desideratum.
