. Edwin Booth’a Courtesy and Kindness to
, an Old Servant.
A little incident will sometimes show
the character of a man more clearly
than a great act. Mr. Laurence Hut-
ton tellsa story of Edwin Booth that
reveals the kindly heart of the man
whom the world knew as a famous
actor.
Mr. Hutton called upon Mr. Booth
one afternoon at the Albemarle Hotel,
in New York, and found him in an
easy chair, with a pipe in his mouth.
The long chat which ensued was not
undisturbed. Mr. Booth was in great
request, and before long a waiter en-
tered and put a card into his hand.
“Tell thl lady {that Mr. Booth is
engaged,” Was the quiet answer, and
an influential leader in New York so-
. ciety went away disappointed.
A few minutes later a second caller
" —a man honorably known throughout
the country—turned away without
seeing Mr. Booth. Yet another card
was sent down with the statement
that “Mr. Booth was engaged,” and a
gentleman-and his wife, whom few
people would have refused to receive,
became convinced that the actor was
an exception to the rule; but at last
came a name that met with a difierent
fate.
“Show ‘the lady up,” said the now
interested actor, and Mr. Hutton put
on his overcoat to leave the room.
He was not allowed to depart. The
lady was a friend of his, and would
be glad to see him, be was assured.
‘ Thereupon he waited, curious to dis-
cover the identity of the person who
could obtain an audience with the
man who had been too tired to see
the daughter of one of the most dis!
tinguishcd men of science in the coun-
try, or a Judge of the Supreme Court
of the United States, or a bishop and
his wife.
The door opened, and in walked
Black Betty, the old negro servant
who had nursed Mr. Booth’s daughter
when she was a baby, had taken the
most tender care of his wife when she
was slowly dying, and had been a life
long friend to them all. '
She kissed “Massa Edwin’s” hand.
shook‘hands cordially with Mr. Hut-
ton, and let herself be placed in the
most comfortable rocking chair. Then
She began to talk familiarly about her
own affairs and Mr. Booth’s. She
could not afford to go to the theatre.
“no mo’,” she said, but she wanted
her husband to see “Massa Edwin
play.” Could she have a pass for two
for that night?
He wrote the pass at once, and put
It into her hand. She read it and re-
turned it with a shake of her head.
“They was only niggers,” she said.
“"l‘he do’keeper wouldn’t let no nig~
gers into the orchestra seats; a pass
to the gallery was good enough for
them.” _ -
A second paper she received silently.
but with another and still more de-
cided shake of her head. Gluncing
over her shoulder, Mr. Hutton read:
“Pass my friend, Betty Blank, and
party to my box this evening. Edwin
Booth.” And Betty occupied the box.

A‘ORY ABOUT THE QUEEN.
How She Saved 3 Deliquent Husband
from Disgracing His Family. _
About twenty years ago a certain
Royal Highness, a near relative of her
Majesty. who Was married to a Ser-
ene Highness, came to the Queen and
told her that her lord and master had
actually sloped. At the moment no-
body save the discarded wife knew
of the state of affairs. When the
Queen heard the news she remarked,
“This is a scandal which in twenty-
four hours will be talked of all over
Europe; If you will tell me the ex-
act place where your husband has
gone, I will follow him and try to
bring him back.” The Princess knew
precisely where her husband was lo-
cated. The Queen found the renegade
Prince at a country inn. She asked
for the Prince under his assumed
name, and in ten minutes had explain-
ed to him the situation and' the posi-
tion in which he was placing the
Court of England, and the Queen then
spoke of the feelings of his wife.
who was at home in a state wellnigll
bordering on frenzy. His Highness
promised toreturn at once to his
spouse. It was here the difficulty
arose. How was “the other person”
to be disposed of? The Queen ofiercd
to pay £1,000 down from her own
purse, and she did. Thus His High»
ness was restored to the arms of his
disconsolate wife. They lived happily
afterward, and the world has been of
opinion that they were the most ideal
couple that existed, while the sons
and daughters of the marriage hold
high places in society.—.-Whitehall Re-

’~ JACKSON'SV FIRST DUEL.
It Grew.0ut of a Practical Joke and HI
Ever Regretted It.
None of Gen. Jackson’s biographers
give the details of his first duel, and
he himself never cared to speak of
the matter in later years; but some.
years ago a granddaughter of Col.
-Waitstill Avery told the writer the
full story. '
Waitstill Avery was a Massachu-
setts man who went to North Caro-
lina, carrying with him a letter of
recommendation from no less a per-
sonage than Jonathan Edwards. He
soon acquired reputation and influ-
ence, and in time became Attorney-
General of the State. It was his cus-
tom to take students of law into his
family, who became, tutors of his
children. -
In 1784, when Andrew Jackson was
but 17 years old, and ambitions to be-
come a'lawyer, he applied for this
situation. The tradition is that he
was refused because a daughter of
Avery’s took a dislike to his uncouth
appearance. , .
Young Jackson next applied to
Spruce McCay, a lawyer in Salisbury,
N. 0., in whose office he was fitted
for the bar, and he shortly made his
appearance in the courts. When J ack-
son was 21 years of age he and Avery
met in the trial of a case at Jones-
boro, Tenn. '
It was Jackson’s habit to carry\in
his saddle-bags a copy of “Bacon’s
Abridgement,” and to make frequent
appeals to it in his cases. This pro
cious book was always carefully done
up in coarse brown paper, such as
grocers used before the neat. paper
bags of the present day were invent-
ed. The unwrapping of this much-
prized volume before a court was a
very solemn function as performed
by Jackson.
Now Avery had by this time dropped
whatever of Puritan sedateness had
commended him to Jonathan ‘Ed-
wards, and was uncommonly fond ol
a joke. He procured a piece of bacon
just the size of the book, and while
Jackson was addressing the court he
slipped out the volume from its wrap-
ping and substituted the bacon.
At length Jackson had occasion to
appeal 10 Lord Bacon. It was an im-
portant case, and he would not trust
to his memory. He would confound
his opponent by reading from the.
book itself. While still talking, he
raised the bearskin flap of his saddle-
bags, drew out the brown paper pack-
age, carefully untied the string, un-
folded the paper with the, decorous
gravity of a priest handling the holy
things of the altar, and then, with-
out looking at what he held in his
hand, exclaimed triumphantly, “We
will now see what Bacon says!”
The court, bar, jury and spectators
were convulsed with laughter before
Jackson saw the trick that had been
played upon him. Of course, he was
furious. He snatched a pen, and on
the blank leaf of a law-book wrote a
peremptory challenge, which he do
livered then and there. He asked for
no apology—nothing but blood would
do. He commanded Avery to select
a friend and arrange for the meeting
at once.
Avery made no answer to this per-
emptory demand, thinking his pep-
pery antagonist would laugh rather
than fight, as he grew cooler. But |he ,
did not know the young man. Jack-‘
instead of cooler.,
Next morning he sent this note, which 7

was full of bad spelling. My North
Carolina friend had seen the original,
and in copying it had corrected the
orthography,» but these are the exact
words: '
“August 12, 1788.—Sir: 'When a
man’s feelings and character are In-
jured, he ought to seek a speedy re
dress. You received a few lines
from me yesterday, and undoubtedly
you understand me. My charactel
you have injured; and, further, you
have insulted 'me in the presence of
the court» and a. large audience. I
therefore call upon you as a gentle
'man to give me satisfaction for the
same. And I further call upon you to
give me an answer immediately with-
out equivocation, and I hope you can
l do without dinner until our business
is done; for it is cons‘l'ste‘fit with the
character of a gentleman when be In-
jures another to make a speedy repa-
ration. Therefore, I hope you will noi ,
fail in meeting me this day. From
your obt. st., ANDREW JACKSON.
‘\ “P. S.: This evening after court ad-
journs.” -
Avery concluded to accept this
challenge; and so, in the dusk of the
summer evening, the duel came off in
a hollow north of Jonesboro, in the
presence of the same crowd that had
laughed at Jackson’s predicament.
When the. word was given Jackson
fired quickly, and his ball flicked
Avery’s ear, scratching it slightly.
" Now was Avery’s chance to change
the later history of his country, but
his Puritan blood asserted itself. He
tired in the air, then advanced and
offered Jackson his hand, which was
accepted—Youths Companion.
Proud of His Good Memory.
When White people first went to live
in Hawaii, their native servants, it is
said, persisted in calling them By their
Christian names. An English woman
of strong will determined on her ar-
rival in Honolulu that the servants
should never call her Mary, and in-
structed them carefully in the pres-
ence offiher husband. One day when
she had visitors her cook put his head
in at the drawing room door and po-
litely inquired, “What vegetables for
dinnergto-day, my love?”‘ He had
heard her called that, and seemed
proud of remembering not to say
