I An Antnlolc of Bob In;crsol'. Says a correHpondont of the Chicago Mail: resident Clarke, of the Illi nois Cfittral Iluilroad, told mo a good Htory about UoS Ingorsoll thn other day that has not yet boon in print. A long tiimi ago it was, when many coun ties in the outhern part of the State were under township organizations, and the supervisors xat us judges in certain cases. "Boh" was arguing a caso before one of thi si tribunals, of which the judges were evidently morn familiar with crops than law practice. He brought all his eloquence to bear upon the point, that the case in question was a great injustice to his client and should be "thrown out of court." Con tinually returning to that argument, he reached the cliinjx with a burst thut, ai usual, carried nverybody by storm, euding with thosaiiin appeal to "throw it out of court, ftirs! out of court." It brought judges up "all standing," and the presiding one slowly readied over, gathered up the papers in the case from thu table in front of him, and as he gavo them an energetic llip out of the window, turned to Ingersoll with a relieved smile and said: "Dob she's out!"

I. I. . 11,1. Noah Webster. FVclm th Courier-.TournaLJ Mr. Webster, no doubt, had the best command of language of any American author prior to our day. Those who have read his ponderous but rather disconnected romance known as "Web ster's Unabridged Dictionary, or How One Word Led on to Another," will agree with mo that h was smart. Noah never lacked for a word by which to express himself. Ho was a brainy man and a good speller It would ill hecomo me at this late day to crkidsB Mr. Wnlister'a great work a work that, is now in almost every library, School-room and counting house in the land. It is a great work. I only hope that hat! Mr. Webster lived ho would havo leen equally fair in his criticism of my booka I hate to compare my own works with those of Mr. Webster, because it may seem egotistical in me to point out the good points in my literary labors) but I have often heard, it said and so do not state it solely upon my own responsibility, that Mr. Webster's book does not retain thu interest of (he read er all the way through. He has tried to introduce too many characters, and so wn cannot follow them all the way through. It is a good book to pick up and while away an idle hour with, perhaps, hut no one would cling to it at night till the (ire went out, chained to the thrilling plrt and (he glowing caieer of its hero. Therein consists tho great difference between Mr. Wobster and myself. A friend of mine at Sing Sing one wrote me that from the moment he got hold of my book he never left his room until he finished it He seemed chained to the rpot, he said, and if you can't be lieve a convict who is out of politics, who in the name of George Washington can you believe! Mr. Webster was most assuredly a brilliant writer, and I have discovered in his later editions 118,000 words, no two of which are alike. This shows great fluency .and versatility, it is true, but we. need something elsflAi..Tbfl render waits in vain to he thrilled by the author's wonderful word painting. There is not a thrill in thn whole tome. I had hear so much of Mr. Webster that when I read his book I confess I was disappointed. It is cold, methodi cal and dispassionate in the extreme. As I said, however, it is a good book to pick up for the purpose of whiling away an idle moment, and no one should start out on a loftg journey without Mr. Webster's tale in his pocket. It has broken the monotony of many a tedious trip for me. Mr. Webster's "Speller" was a work of less pretensions, perhaps, and yet it had an immense sale. Eight years ago this book had reached a stle of 40,000, 000, and yet it had the same grave de feet. It was disconnected, cold, prosy, and dull. I read it for years, and at last became a close student of Mr. Webster's style, yet I never found but one thing in his book, for which there seems to have been audi a perfect stampede, that was even ordinarily in teresting and that was a little gem. It was so thrilling in . its details, and so diametrically different from Mr. Web ster's style, that I have often wondered who ho got to write it for him. It re lated to the discovery of a boy by an elderly gentleman in the crotch of an ancestral apple tree, and the fueling of bitterness and animosity that sprang up at that time between the boy and the elderly gentleman. Though I Imve len a close student of Mr Webster for years, I am free to say, and I do hot wish to do an injus tice to a great man in doing so, that nis ideas of literature and my own are entirely dissimilar, Possibly his book has had a little larger sale than mine bat that nrak-es no difference. When I write a book it must engage the inter est of the reader, ami show some plot to it. It must not be jerky in its; style and scattering in its statements. I know it n a great temptation to write a book that will sell, but we should have a higher object than that. I do not wish to do an injustice to i man who has dono so much for the world, and one who could spell the longest word without hesitation, but 1 speak of these things just as I weald pxpect people to critieiso my work. If aspirn to monkey with the litterati of our r'ay we must expect to be criti cized. That's the way 1 way t look at it. ' Bill Nye. P. S. 1 might also slate that Noah Webster was a mom her of the Legisla ture of Massachusetts at one time, and though I ought hot not to throw it tp to him at this date, I think it nothing more than right that the public should know (he truth.

Scientific American At Knonvilio, Tenn., recently a horsff thief entered a barn with the intention of walking off with a home, and by a -miscalculation he got too noaf the ani mal's, which resulted in tho thief's get ting one of his legs broken. Some rob' Iters would be satisfied with this, but not so with him; he is now trying to bring suit against the owner of the1 horse for damages. What a pity it was that the horse didn't break his gall as well as his leg, but then there isn't any use in having a good healthy gall, unless you know how to use it. . 4 i i i Two Irishmen on a sultry night, im mediately after their arrival in India took refuge underneath the bedclothes from a skirmishing party of mosquitoa, At last one of them, gasping for breath tentured'to peep beyond the blankets, and by chance espted a fire fly which had strayed Into the room.
