He Convinced the Duke.
During his visit to the United
States the late Duke of Marlborough
was making a tour of inspection over
one of the Chicago cable lines, and
came acrossa cable-car driver, who
was a. typical Yankee, born and bred in
the State of Connecticut.
‘.‘Can you stop the car quickly?”
asked His Grace. .
“I jist reckon ye kin bet yer life I
can, Mister Duke.”
“How soon?” ,
“In ’bout two yards,” replied the
Yankee.
“Nonsense!” sharply exclaimed His.
Grace. The next moment the Duke
was busy pickinghimselt out of a
small sand-bank by the side of the
track, into which the abrupt stoppage
of the car had thrown him. As he
quietly brushed1111111111113,~ the. Yankee

A Nc'fv Definition of Mercy.
A short time ago an old darkey who ‘
had been a frequenter of the Hustings
Court for years, was before that court
"as a. prisoner. His face was as serious
as if he knew that the Sentence of
death .Was to be pronounced upon him.
.When the evidence was given in the
Judge questioned him as follows.
“Old man, have you a lawyer?” .
With a look of abjeICt pity on his face
and a silent plea for mercy depicted
in his countenance, he said:
“No, sun, I ain’t got no lawyer, cause
I didn’t had no money " for to git a
lawyer wid.” '
“Well, what have you "got to say for
yourself?” asked the Judge.
