The St. Paul (Minnesota) people are sensi—

arose “ as one man“ and left the hall.
Two women were asked which of two
men each would choose were she compelled
to marry out; of them. One replied : “ The
eldest, that I might be the sooner rid of

might make him suffer the longest."
A quarrelsome St. Louis couple were dis-

URSDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1871.
" A Tm BM,
On a' certain day In 1853,a young man whosc
noticeable points were a fashionable coat,
pantnloons with wide checks, and a large
watch chain at the end of which dangled a
seal, walked into a large hardware store in
Boston, and asked for employment. Mr.
Peter Butler, one of the proprietors, inquir-
cd if he had ever worked at the business.
He had not.
Studying law a
belong?
firm were not, in need of help, and the ser-
vices of the applicant were civally declined
On the following day he addressed a note to
Mr. Butler, saying that he feared he had not
made himself fully understood, and would
call again on the marrow to explain further.
At the second interview he said he had
graduated at Harvard University and corn-
mcnced reading law; that he had become
acquainted with a young lady in Cambridge
whom he proposed to marry; that his father
had written to him, forbidding him to Wed
8 Northern girl on penalty of utter disin-
hcritancc and banishment from home. He
intended, however to keep faith with his be-
trothed ; and as he must paddle his own
canoe in future, he was loking for employ-
ment. Mr. Butler engaged him at four hun-
dred dollars a year, and gave him certain
duties to perform. Next morning, the young
man, whose name we may as well say, was
John Paco, walked infrom Cambridge, with
his dinner packed in a tin pull, and went
stoutly to work. He kept stoutly at this for
a year, doing all he was told to do,and more
besidcs; for his comrades, of whom there
were more than sixty, finding him able and
willing, gel him ht all the menial tasks of
the establishment, until the proprietors the
covered and stopped the imposition. At the
cm] of theycu John‘s salary was increased
one hundred dollars, and he named an early
day for his wedding. When the day came,
Mr. Butler gave him a new suit of clothes
(he presents everybody he takes a liking to
with a tip top suit once in a while), and a
holiday. Mr. and Mrs. John Paco went to
live with the bride‘s father and mother, and
John continued to walk in to his business,
tin pail in hand. Among all the merchants
and tradesmen who rode in from old Cam-
bridge to the banks and counting-rooms of
Boston, there was not one whose heart was
lighter or happier than that of John Pitca—
n clerk of five hundred dollars a year. He
was always on hand when the warehouse
was opened, and stuck by it until it. was
closed, During the second year of his scr-
viccs ho rcccivcd n letter from his sisters,
who wcru at school in Brooklyn, asking him
to gct leave to make them a short visit. He
did so, and rctumcd to his duties. Not long
afterwards another letter came. His father
wanted him to come for a few days, and
bring his wife along with him. Mr. Butler
furnished the necessary funds for 3 Comfort-
ablc trip to the old home and back again.
During their stay in Maryland, the young
people won the love of the old folks, if in-
deed they had ever forfeited it; for John
had not long been back at the store in Bos-
ton when his father desired him to take
charge 056m: of his plantations. Pic-should
have a living 08' it, one thousand dollars a
year. and two saddle horses, and his wife
should have n carriage and pair. His em-
ployers hurried him away, and bade him
God-speed. At the death of Ill: father, John
fell llt‘ll‘ to an immense estate. Every year
he writes to Peter Butler, whom he jugtly
thinks one of the best men in Boston, to come
out and join him in a fox-hunt.

Frxmi u. or GEN. ROBERT ANDERSON AT
XlCl—L—Tllc‘ noble simplicity of the funeral
of Mr. Anderson, the American general,
which took place last Saturday, furnishes a
valuable lesson to us. Fife and drum pre-
ceded the mourning concourse, because
these two warlike instruments were the
ones which marshnlcd Americans to vic-
tory or death in their long struggle with the
English, to drive them from their country
and established their independence. There
was no funeral (lmpcrv around the coffin,
because Americans do not consider death
as a calamity, but as a law of nature, as the
repose of life, just as night is the repose of
day. There was no hearse, because Ameri-
cans desire their remains to be born to the
There
were no torches, because Americans consider

The coffin was covered with their
national flag, because Americans who are
proud to honor it in their lifetime, have the
privilege to envelope themselves in it when
carried to the grave—There was no display
of ribbons, decorations, or medals of honor,
because Americans live and die for their
country, not for showy distinctions, but as a
matter of duty: they know no other distinc-
tion save virtue and patriotism. The uni-
forms of officials and soldiers were aimple
and decal-ens; their silent and gravebeor
ing exhibited their respect and regret for the
lionored dead and his family; the mourn-
mg was not affected, and one might see that
sorrow was in their hearts. They were true
citizens, accompanying to his eternal abode

derson. Spectators were penetrated with a

An important and interesting we, involv-
ing the bequest of property, was decided‘ at
Pittsburgh, last week, in the Orphnns' Court
of the Allegbnny county, upon the petition
of Mrs. Agnes S. Kennedy, daughter ind
Iegatee of the late Thomas S. Chrke, who
died in 1867, leaving an estate of ”M,”
or more. This estate was divided chant
equally between his son, Charles 8. Chris,
and Mrs. Kennedy. The deceased Chrke
was somewhat eccentric, md Ind but little
confidence in his children‘s ability to spend
his fortune properly, consequently he hedged
his bequests around with x number of sin-
gular provisions, such as the following.-
“ I do hereby further order And direct tho:
the executors, etc, shall procure out of my
miduary estate for each and every child
that may be born of my son Charla J.
Clark, and my daughter, Agnes S. Kennedy,
after the date of this my last will and tests-
ment, and before noon of the 4th (by of
April, 1883, the amount and value of $10,-
000 each.
The suit was instituted against the trustee!
to obtain pomessiou of all this residuu'v es—
tate, which amounted, in June, 138, to w-
000. Up to July 4, 18”, one son had been
born to Aging, and two to Charla, Iesvinga
very large balance for winch' no pm‘ 'on
for distribution had been made in the will.
The petitioner nverrcd thst the and the wife
of Charles had passed that period of life
when children were likely to be born to
them. Hence it was asked that a decree be
granted ordering 3 distribution of the resid-
uary estate prior to the expiration of the
limitation of the will.
The trustees resisted the prayer of the pe-
titioner, declaring that in no sense did any
necessity exist for anticipating the wisha of
the descendant, as they had already paid
Mrs. Kennedy out of the funds $20,000 an—
nually for the support of her children,in ad-
dition to the amount she inherited in her
own right.
The court, after hearing the arguments of
a number of distinguished lawyem, includ-
ing Judge Woodward and Black, refused to
order the decree, and confirmed the trustees
in possession of the residnary estate until it
is seen whether any more children Ire born
prior to April 4, 1883.
Another singular provision of the will was
that the decedent bequeuthed to Mm Ken-
nedy‘s husband real estate. to the amount of
$50,000, adjoining the homestead of his son
Charla, and mgcy enough to build a pub
tial residence, provided that be occupied it
within five years and continued to reside
there during his life time. The two brothers-
in-law could not ngree, nor could they on-
dure each other‘s presence, and this attempt
to make them live on brothervin-lqw-like
terms did not go down with Mr. Kennedy,
so he decided to forfeit his “(£000 sooner
than live next door to his wife’s brother. He
took up his residence in Philadelphia, there-
by forfeiting tint and one or two other hand-
some bequests, which depended upon his re-
siding in close proximity to his hated broth.
er-in-llw.
The failure to set aside the will in minin-
mnoewfllbo followed by ttkingittotho
supreme court, where no doubt it will be
sought to set the whole instrument aside on
the ground that the decedent was not com-
pecent to make a will, its smnge provision:
being set. up as a proof of this fact.

A Won-.3 Lobbyist. -
With consummate art she buttomholed
one substantial legislntor who had just been
taking some “ bishop," and seemed to like it.
He was a person of great weight, especially
as regards his speeches, which were weighty
beyond conception. “ Now, what had he to
say against the bill ?" inquired she, and
linked one of her fair arms within his.
“ Was it not an admirable bill, a delightful
bill, a very paragon of a bill, that was going
to please everybody all round, and set every-
thing ~everywhere to rights?" “ Well, he
had not yet had time to view it in that. light."
“ Oh, dear me, how strange, she would ex-
plain it to him, then," and explain it to him
she did until his good, big head swam. It
was like the continuous aspersion of a scent-
ed shower—bath; she did not allow him to
put in a. single word. At length, However,
he managed to gasp “And my constituents?”
“ 0b,” exclaimed she, with a pretty contemp—
tuous shrug, “ your constituents l" and here
was a man who went away thinking mean-
ly of himself for having trumped up his eon-
stituents, as though a being of his .metlle
should be afraid of anybody or anything!
Thus was one vote captured. Next the en-
thralling Manuflscher, having subsided on
to a sofa, turned her smiling eyes toward a
lean lugnbrious legislator standing in a re.
cess, and in obedience to her beck he stood
by her side. But this time it was a very
serious matter. This legislator was not
afraid of his constituents. not he; but he
was dircfully afraid of his conscience, and a
most implacable conscience it was, alwayn
giving him trouble. Thus much he stated
at once, an a manner of exordium, biting his
lip defiantly ; and she, in answer, played
with her fan, and said, signing a little, “ Of
course, where conscientious scrupla inter-
pose, there is an end of the matter ;” and to
change the subject, as it were, she inquired
uflcr the health of one of his near relativon
“ lie is as well as can be expected,“ was the
gloomy reply, “ under the circumstances ;"
and there was a great. stress on these last
words. “ Yes, I heard he had been disap<
pointed," murmured she. “ Disappointed,
ny ; promised a post that. has been given to
another,” exclaimed the legislator with
heart-rendinz emphasis. “ IVcll, but you
know why he was disappointed," returned
she with dulcct quiet, “ They are going to
give him another post—much better.” “You
don‘t say so ?" ejaculated the legislator,
taken aback, “ another and better p051?"
“ Salary almost double," pursued she inno-
cently. “ Salary almost double l" repeated
the legislator, and here came a little heave
of satisfaction, as who should say, “ Thank
you ; my conscience does feel a little bet-
ter." " And the appointment," added he,
timidly, “ will be drawn up ." “ In a
few days at farthest,” answered she, dismiss-
ing him with a new smile, and beckoning by
a glance to somebody else; and the lean
lugubrions legislator stalked away, looking
somehow as if his conscience was altogether
well. This made two votes. But the new
man who came up to be lectured and cajoled
