Forced Into Perjury. The other day it was necessary for Mr. Finder to go info conrt ns n witness. Mr Finder knows fhe nature of an oath and he isn’t a man who wonld perjure himself for the biggest and best farm in Michigan. Mr. Finder was ordered to stand np, raise his right hand, and swpnr. that he wonld tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the troth. Then he sat down and a lawyer be gan: ‘•Mr. Plnder, you saw this offuir, did you ?" *T did.” "Well, state to the jnry what took place.” "Well, I was sitting in the boose, and my wife suddenly called ” "Never mind your wife, Mr. Pinder,” in terrupted the lawyer. “Why, sir. my wife colled to ” "Never mind your wife, I soy I I want to know what you know.'’ M Mr. Finder had been sworn lo tell fhe truth, and the whole truth, but right at Jhe outset the lawyer wouldn’t let him do either ene Then he began : "I was sitting in my house, when—" "I don’t want to know what happened in your house. A fight took place in the Btreet, and if you were on the spot I want to know it ?” “Well, I heard loud talking, ond—" "I wont to know if you saw the defendant strike the plaintiff ” interrupted the lawyer. Mr. Pinder had sworn to tell all ohout it in • truthful manner, but he was now or dered to leave out more than half of the whole truth, and begin where it suited the lawyer. "When I crossed the street, a woman said—” "I don't care what a woman said, sir 1" ebon ted the lawyer. Wbat that woman said should have been laid, according to the oath taken, but Ibe lawyer wouldn’t have it. “Well ] saw two men fighting—the plaintiff and defendant here,’’ observed Mr. Pinder. “Do you swear that these were the men Mr. Pinder had sworn to tell “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth," r.nd the lawyer turned right about and hinted that he might not have seen the men he had ■worn he saw, “These were the two men," he answered. “And vou saw blows stiuck?" "I did.” “Now we claim that not a single blow passed 1" shouted the lawyer. He was defending a man with a black eye and a busted nose, who had been arrested while fighting, an<L Mr. Pinder had seen the fight, and-yet be eraimed that Finder didn’t see a blow struck. “I heard ” “No matter what you heard." Mr. Pinder had heard plaintiff dare de fendant to'strike him ; and he had sworn to tgll tiie truth, and yet the lawyer forced him into perjury. He wouldn't let him tell the whole truth—nor even half of it. “Did you see blows passed ?” resumed the lawyer. “I did." “And yon saw the plaintiff strike the de fendant first T” “No. sir; the defendant struck first.” “What! Do yon know what you are swearing to T Didn’t you just take an oath to tell the truth in the case?” “1 did.” “And now you are trying to mislead the jory by suppressing part of the tru’b—by telling what yon wish to and suppressing what you don’t T" “No, sir. Just as I beard—” “You heard T W e don’t want to know wbat yon heard.” \ • Mr. Pinder didn’t want to suppress any thing, but be was forced to ; be wanted to tell all about it, but they wouldn’t let him ; he wanted to tell the whole truth, but they would not have it. They made him perjore himself while swearing to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing bot tbe truth.— Cincinnati Star. It doesn’t dc any good to veto a butcher’s bill..

A little while ago I stood by the grave of the old Napoleon—a magnificent tomb of gilt and gold, fit olmost for a dead deity—and gazed npon the sarcophagus of black Egyptian marble, where rest at Inst thp ashes of the restless man. 1 leaned over the balustrade and thought about the career of the grentrst so'dier of the modern world.

And I saw him at St. Helena, with his hand* crossed behind, gazing out upon the sad and solemn sea. I thought of the orphans and widows he had made—of the tears that had lieen shed for his glory, and of the only woman who ever loved him, pushed from his heart by the cold hand of ambition. And I said I would rather have been a French peasant, and worn wooden shoes—l would rather have lived in a hu*, with a vine growing over the door, and Ibe grapes growing purple in the kissel of the autumn sun—l would rattier have been that poor peasant, with my loving wile by mv side, with my children upon my knees and their arms about me—l wonld rather have been that man, and gone down to the tongutloss dust, than to huve been that Im perial impersonation of force Hnd* murder, known as Napoleon the Great.— Bob lnger- Little Women. Little women are ptone to fascinate big men, and perhaps they have a considerable amount of power over men in general. But they ure endowed with no such power for witchery so far as their sisters are concerned. Indeed, there is a certain amount of chronic antagonism between little women and other women, and prevents them from fraternizing together with that cordiality with which women who nre in no way physically re markable can. The ordinary woman will piobably tell yon, if you appeal to her for od opinion, that the iittkj woman “is a con ceited little thing, and gives herself all man ner of airs and graces.” The statement may not be quite correct, but those who generally make it hsve goal pauses of belief in its ac curacy. The little woman is in the habit of treating them with a degree of scorn, not to say contempt, which is calculated to hsve n most miserable irritating effect upon their nerves. The constant contemplation of her own insignificance has ruffled her temper, though her very smallness, in some cases, is a point in her favor rather than against it. But consiant fighting; even if it is Only shadows, has a decidedly exasperating ten dency, Now, sbg ia continually doing battle with what she and some others niay be dis posed to consider her weak point. It is easy to see bow keenly she feels the sting of being small. She not only assumes an aggressive at titud*toward a great portion of humanity on that account; she allows the fact to influ ence her in the matter of taste and her every day life If she has a house she will have everything in it on as big a scale as possible; she will love big horses and big dogs ; she will, us we have already said, probably marry a b ; g man, and she will in a variety of other ways indicate her eflection for the magnifi cent as compared with the insignificant All this may be regarded as a sort of protest on her part against her own littleness. It is another proof that people would like to be jus*, what they are not, and to get just wbat they lack. Though her foibles and eccen tricities are many, she can be forgiven them, in view of their causes. At the Fame time she may be recommended to mnke herself a little more agreeable. She. would be more agreeable if she were less egotistical and ag gressive. Perhaps we should say that we have spoken o! typical little women, not of all little women. —Liberal Review. “Bit you know, pa,” said the farmer’s daughter when be spoke to her about the addresses of his neighbor's son, “you know, pa, that ma wan's me to marry a man of culture.” “So do I, my dear, so do I ; and there’s no better culture in the country than agricuitare.” A country doctor, in writing a letter of condolence to the widow of a late member of I tbe Legislature, says; "I cannot tell how , pained I wng to bear that your husband had | gone to hcaveu.

Last evening the skies were sultry and gloomy, the atmosphere was laden with heavy vapors, and now and then splattering drops of sad rain discolored the clean gray of the flags on C trial street. The impersonal journalist of this paper, under the influence of the overhanging clouds and the murky atmosphere, felt disinclined to work, and avoiding the reportorial rooms of thp Demo crat. where the lean and hungry looks of hum drum work awaited him, sought refuge from monotony in a walk down Canal street , to the Irvee. P reliance he thought that a beautiful sunset nvereoming the weight of a leaden skv would afford him bv fhe riverside mate rial whereon to display the skill of his des criptive pen Peradventure he imagined that strong-wheeled steamers, snowy-sated boats or graceful gigs stemming the tide with feathered oar «rtnld furnish him where with to feed his appetite for scribbling. It may be that he had no aim in his wander mgs. BDd that he went forward, as many do in this world, full of problems, not knowing or caring whither be tended, what his goul. and thinking nothing either of what would come of the mysteries whose skein was being unraveled about him. As in a dreamy mood he reached the cor ner of the Custom House building, he met the historical laces of Generals Juhal A Early, G. T. Beauregard aad J. B. Hood, who in company appeared to be taking an evening walk. Three great figures brightly shining in the panorama of days gone by ; thtee statues belonging to the Southern Pantheon. Three volumes in tho history of the Confederacy, walking arm in arm, through the mist ond gloaming of the even ing, wiih the weird gleaming light of the past around and about them, and the ghosts of heroic memories fluttering across them, telling of battles won, of ensanguined fields gloriously contested, of bright pages sten ciled on the everlas!ing* stone of history and ol dark defeat surrounded and made radiant with the beaming rays of Devotion, Honor and Chivalry. I'here was G. T. Beauregard, the pride of our creole population, the hero of Munassas, the scientific defender of Charleston, wi h his sturdy, athletic form defying the heavy hand of time as in Mexico, as in Virginia, as in South Carolina and Tennessee he had braved the advunce of foes and issued v cto rious Irom all encounters No, this jour nalist is no more impersonal; he regains b s identity when he remembers bow hearis leaped and bats waved when Beauregard, sitting centaur-like on his war s'eed, rode along the lines, inspiriting “the army” by his presence and bearing, even when disaster appeared rife and the shadow of the wings of death darkened the atmosphere. And flood, the “subreur,” the gallant charging commander in Virginia and Tennessee, who walks on crutches now because steel, shell amt shot choose the bravest to maim or kill. And last, old Juba I Early, once tbe most active man In the Confederate army, now leaning forward as he walks, resting on bis stout hickory stick, his long while heard flowing in the wind, and his bright blue, in telligent eyes, bright with the reflee'ion of past heroic deeds and beaming with specu lation, looking toward tbe future prospects ol l»is country. 1 Old Jubal,”as he wascalled, was a freut fighter, and we recall u charac teristic anecdote of him. W hen the troops were charging at Manassas, he espied a cer tain preacher riding down as fast as his horse could carry him. “Where are you riding to so fast T” said the General. "To the icar,” answered the preacher, scarcely reining in his steed. “Well," responded Early, ‘you have been showing us all the time the way to heaven, and now that we are all going there, you tuke Ibe opposite direction.” But by this time the preacher bad vutiisbed out of sight— N. O. Democrat . Doings of the Telephone. At V'ansfield, Ohio, on Snndav last, a telephone was run from 'he nulpit of a church to a residence where there were sick people, and they could h<ar the seynon, the singing, snd the jingling of the gun wads in the collection plate IT this telephone busi ness proves to tie all that i« claimed for it, the cbuiches ean all be sold to be used for breweries and livery stables, the minister can preach fron his bed at home, or from a pier out in the lake, while holding a fi-h pole to catch his dinner out of the water, and the members of the church can lay all around at home, with dirty shirts on ; that is. the men— and with tbeir hair tied tip in curl papers— that is the women —and they can hear ail tbe sermon, even if their pantaloons are out at the heel and their new bonnet not yet urrived Irom the milliner. Then, religion will be so cheap that even the poor can have it. There will be no expense for chnrches, no pew rent, no fuel, no gas, no frescoed ceiling, 4»o nothing. All that will tie nec essary will be to hire a minister, give him a house to live in on some fish pond give him land enongh ho raise vegetables, and let him catch fish between meals. If he catches more fish than he needs he can peddle them around the town, and send the money to for-, eign missions, and no collection need betaken op for that purpose. And then everything will be lovely. A sermon through telephone, with tbe congregation lying down at the homes of the members, on lounges, or stretched not on carpets on bot Sundays, will soak in them better than the old way. You won’t have to be looking around the church wondering wbat some eoufoanded hand-iorae woman is laughing about, and there will be no bald-beaded hotel keeper sitting in front of you so you can't Fee the girls in the choir. But, come to think of it. going to church is the best. It seems more soeiat'ie. Never mind, you needn't sell tbe churches yet. We will take that telephone on probation a spell.— Milwaukee Sun.
