VALUABLE ADVICE FROM THE BENCH
His Bluff “’orkerl and the Legal Reputa-
tion of the Justice was Saved.
A country justice had been elected
but a few days, when a young lawyer
rushed in and' demanded a capias. Now,
that justice did not know a capias
from a police cell, but he disliked to
admit his ignorance. So he said,—
“Now, see here, my friend. You are
a young lawyer, and, I fear, lack ex-
perience. I would advise you not to
be too hasty. Don't. be in a hurry.
Wait twenty—four hours and then, if
you think best, come tome, and I will
give you a capias.” .
The young lawyer agreed and went
away. The justice spent the remain-
der of the day getting acquainted with
the writ called capias. When the
limb of the law appeared the next
morning, the court felt himself quali-
fied to issue capiases by the bushel.
Before he could speak, the young
lawyer said;—
“Mr. Justice, you were right. I was
too hasty. I have that matter fixed up
all right and do not need a capias. l
have come to thank you for the good
advice, and have also brought you the,
two dollars fee you would have re-
ceived for the capias, as I don’t want
you to lose by your good deed.” I
He went away believing the justice
gal lore. /

Owned by a Louisiana 'l’lanter Whos
Home Now Belongs to Gen. Miles—1,00
Guests Frequently Entertainer! The:-
During Anti-Bellum Days.
In a collection of historic relics 0:
Louisiana are two pieces of china. that
nice belonged to the wealthiest man Ol
that State, Valcour Ains, his income
amounting to $5,000,000 a year.
The story of this man’s life read:
like fiction.
Although he has been dead for atom
forty years, his hospitality and promi-
nence have survived him. ,
IIe frequently invited 1,000 of the
most prominent people of New Orleans
;.t a time to visit him, esDeCifllly the
young men and the young ladies.
Viicour Aine’s plantation was about
filly miles up the Mississippi River
from New Orleans. The place is now
owned by Gen.Mi1es. The garden con-
sisted of fifty acres, and had heating
pipes four feet in diameter running
two feet under the ground all over it.
By this means he could give you in the
dead of winter fruits from every clime
taken fresh from the trees, and flow-
ers in profusion. The walk from the
mansion to the river was inlaid with
imported Grecian marble, and to-day
the gate columns, with Ionic caps of
the purest marble, can be seen still
standing.
Going back to 1835, it is found that
Dr. Antomarchi, Napoleon’s last th‘
sician, was the guest of the mansion,
and a short time afterward he accept-
ed the position of Surgeon-General to
the President of Mexico and lost his
life. Before Dr. Antomarchi left for
Mexico,Valcour Aine offered him $10,-
000 per year to become his family phy-
sician. This offer was rejected by the
doctor, as it is understood, so that he
could go to Mexico for the purpose of
raising an army to again revolution-
ize France. Marshal Henri G. Ber-
trand and young Ney, son of the Mar-
shal, came over to New Orleans as as—
sistants and organizers of the new
revolution of the French army. This
fact is not generally known. Valcour
Ain-e had agreed to advance $1,000,000
to assist the project.
On the arrival of Marshal Bertrand
and young Ney they immediately pro-
ceeded up the river to the mansion of
Valcour Aine. They were received
royally, and the evening on which they
were about to return to lay new plans,
having learned of the failure of Dr.
A'ntomarchi, they decided to return to
France and there report to their revo-
lutionary contemporaries.
.Tea was served at 10 o’clock at
night in a. set of enamelled and blue
gold Sevres ware. The cups and sau-
cers must have cost not less than $20
each. After tea was over and just be-
fore the down steamer arrived the
whole service was brought out on the
balcony in trays by the servants and
ordered to be thrown, each piece, down
upon the marble walks as a. memento
of shattered hopes of the new revolu-
tion that was to come, and Valcour
Aine himself, being remonstrated with
by the Marshal, said: “I do this in
order that, when you return to France,
you may tell your committee that I,
Valvour Aine, entertained you as roy-
ally as any Prince of Europe could
have done. Take with you back to
France one piece of it in its shattered
condition as a memento .of what is
broken in hopes but not lost.’f
Frequently in this mansion recep-
tions were given that far surpassed
anYthing of to-day
The most romantic stories are told
about the 19,000 pieces of porcelain
that were painted by the best painters
of the Sevres works. All had the ap«
pearance of being alike to the eye.
Each garland of flowers around each
piece and on the edge the initials “F.
A.,” those of Mrs. Aine, would to all
appearances look as though they were
uniform. But when closely examined
no two plates were ever found to cor-
respond. .
Valcour Aine, the millionaire plant-
er, had five daughters and they all be-
came wives of prominent men in New
Orleans. Valc‘our Aine’ was in the
habit of coming to New Orleans usu-
ally in November, and there he would
order his banker on each visit to pass
to the credit of his daughters $25,000
each, in order that they might have
pin money for the winter season—New
York Sun. ~

A bishop of the Methodist church
was preaching a sermon on the vanity
of dress, and incidentally alluded to
people who wore velvet and gold orna-
ments. .
After the- sermon a distinguished
member of his conference approached
him and said: “Now bishop, I know
you were striking at me, for I have a
velvet vest and a heavy watch chain.”
The bishop smiled, passed his hand
over the vest, touched the chain, and
then said, with a merry twinkle in his
eye: “No, really, Brother B., for the
vest you wear is only a cotton velvet
,and I am half persuaded that your
"watch chain is brass."—-—Atlanta Con-

A MOORISH EXECUTION.
The Mu rd crer of a Christian Regarded as
a Martyr.
A correspondent at Tangier gives the
following account of the execution of
a native for the murder of Herr Hass-
ner, a German banker. “The circum-
stances of the murder have remained
entirely mysterious. The German
legation here put pressure on the local
authorities. After a. short time a wo-
man went over to Gibraltar for safety,
and sent word from there that she
could throw light on the affair. Upon
her information three men—a Span-
iard and two Moors—were arrested
and thrown into the prison. Here
they were tortured by the thumbscrew,
and the Spaniard confessed. He, how-
ever, was claimed by the Spanish au-
thorities, and what has become of him
I 'do not know. The other two were
kept in prison. They lay chained
hand and foot by a heavy three-inch
chain in a small dungeon, where they
remained in almost pitch darkness,
with nothing to eat but bread and wa-
ter, and very little of that. Of course,
had not the murdered man been a
European, little would have been
heard of the matter. A message then
came from the Sultan that one of the
men was to be shot. The Basha, who
.is an authority here, desired this to
be carried out in private, but the Ger-
man Minister insisted upon a public
execution. On the day of the execution
I went down to the soko (market
place).
About a dozen Europeans only were
present, and among them were two
French ladies on horseback. A posse
of soldiers soon marched through the
gateway, having in their midst the
condemned man himself, seated on a
donkey, with his feet chained together.
I think he was too much dazed to com-
prehend fully all that was passing. The
prisoner was taken, unresisting, off
the donkey, and made to kneel with
his face away from the soldiers. Two
of the men were told off to shoot him.
They refused, upon which the Basha's
head man, with asperity, repeated the
order. Then they walked up to with-
in five yards of the prisoner and fired
two shots into his back. The corpse
was buried in sacred ground. All the
Moors, even the authorities, Basha in-
cluded, looked upon the prisoner as a
martyr. Why, they asked, should a
good Mohammedan die for a. dog of a
Christian? The feeling is universal,
and if it were not for the legations,
Europeans would not be very safe.—

Descendants of the Queen.
The Queen of England’s decendants
either now occupy or will in due course
sit upon seven thrones—namely, those
of the British Empire, the German
Empire, the Russian Empire, the
Kingdom of Greece, the Duchy of
Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the Grand
Duchy of Hesse ' and the Duchy of
Saxe-Meiningen—an amount of ter-
ritory ruled by her descendants which
must. comprise at least half of the en-

lative of the King of Hanover, the
King of Denmark and the King of the
Belgians. The Queen, it may be men-

j HAILSTORM DISSIPATED.
j Grape Growers In Austria Bombard the
Clouds in Order to Dispel Them.
! The American rain—making experi-
[ments are sufficiently fresh in the
imemory to lend a peculiar interest to
'a report recently sumbitted to the
State Department by the consul at
Zurich regarding a curious practice
that has grown up among the grape
growers of certain sections of Austria,
which is, in eflect, the exact reverse
of the rain-making theory. It is none
other than the prevention of storms
by aerial explosions. '
The owner of extensive. vineyards
found that his profits were disappear-
ing with the frequent destruction of
his vines by hailstones. These storms
are common, and severe in Austria,
especially on the southern slopes of
the Bacher Mountains, and as the soil
is peculiarly adapted to the growth of
the grape the question arose whether
some means of preventing the falling
of bail could not be devised. The ex-
plosion experiment was tried and to
the date of the report it had met with
unbroken success. The method is
simple. On each side of the most
prominent summits surrounding the
vineyards the owner erected a station
tery of heavy mortars, ten at each
station. The neighboring peasantry,
themselves small vineyard owners,
have been trained to the duties of
manning the batteries, and at the
slightest sign of the approach of a
storm fire all the mortars simultane-
ously. Each mortar is loaded with
about four and a half ounces of pow-
der; the report makes no mention of
it projectile. The bombardment of the
clouds is continued until the moisture
is scattered and the storm prevented.
At the first trial of the system, after
a few moments’ firing the cloud wall
opened up in the form of a funnel, the
mouth rising in consecutive rings,
gradually expanding until the clouds
scattered and disappeared. This pro-
cess was accompanied by no hail or
even rain. .{
During the summer the firing Was
undertaken six times, and always with
the same result. Thus it appears that
while man may not be able to force
nature to work at his bidding, he may
ttleast compel her to remain idle for
I time—Washington Star.
STRANGE A’FRICAN RACE, " i-
one Time Invaluable as Slaves and Could
be Captured in Thousands. ‘ .
Queer stories are told of the Dokos"
who live among the moist, warm, hams
boo weeds to the south of Kalli-a and
Susa in Africa. But four feet high, of
1. dark olive color, savage and naked,
'.hey have neither houses, temples, flre,
nor human food. They eat mice, and
serpents, diversified by a. few roots
ind fruits. They let their nails grow
:ong like talons, the better to dig for
ants and the more easily to tear in
pieces their favorite snakes.
The Dokos used to be invaluable as
slaves, and they were taken in large
numbers. The slave raiders used to
hold up bright-colored cloths as they
:ame to the woods where these hu-
man monkeys still live, and the poor
Dokos could not resist the attractions
offered by such superior people. They.
crowded around them, and were taken
in thousands.
These people have a queer habit of
speaking to Yer with their heads on
:he ground and their heels in the air.
‘Yer is their idea of a superior power,
:0 whom they talk in this comical way
when they are dispirited or vexed, or
:ired of ants and snakes. The Dokos
seem to come nearest of all people yet
discovered to that terrible cousin to’
humanity, the ape.
