Uncle I John said: "He comes honestly by bis i courage and his eloquence. His father and bis grandfather before him were ' that kind of men. Both of them were great lawyers. HU father and grand father were both Judges of the court. His father, Judge William Daniel. Jr., was Judge of the circuit court, and Bedford was in his Jurisdiction. I tell you be was a Judge that was a Judge. Whenever Judge Daniel spoke, It was the law and the gospel and accepted as such. The lawyers never jawed blm back when he was on the bench, however much some of them may have felt like It. He always went In for ' Justice and equity I.ee has done more for you than any one else. Ho made you governor of Virginia." " D d if He Did and D d If He Didn't. Hon. William n. Wallace of Kansas City tells the following: "At a church in a rural community one time, while the deacons were tak ing up the moruinc collection, one of them, becoming suddeul demented. walked tint of the door with the mon ey he had collected In his hat. leaving the audience too thunderstruck to move or titter a sound. Finally the preacher broke the silence by saying, with great solemnity, ns he gazed at the nbfecnudiup deacon. 'If he walks off with that money, he will lie d d." whereupon an old deacon exclaimed. 'Well. If he hasn't already walked off Jlnrr lntnlu. lienan had n great contempt for mere words, however eloquent. One evenlnp he met at n sort of a literary dinner M Caro, the philosopher beloved of flnr Indies, who et himself to prove n cer tain theory. His eloquent assertions did not seem to Interest the sage. In the middle of one of his most sonorous periods M. Itennn attempted to make himself heard. Hut all the ladies were intensely In terested. They would not have their pleasure sjiolled. "In a moment, M. Itenan, we will lis ten to you In your turn." He bowed submissively. Toward the end of dinner M. Caro. out of breath, stopped with a rhetorical emphasis. At once every one turned to ward the illustrious scholar, hoping that lie would enter the lists, nnd the hostes. with nn encouraging smile, j said: "Now, M. Ilenau" "1 am nfrnld, dear lady, that 1 am j now n little behindhand." "No, nol" "I wanted to ask for a little more po tato." Fortnightly Review. A Kind Hrnrtcd Walter.

"One time," continued I'ncle John, "during the trial of a case in court a lawyer In crons examination managed to get the witness so confused that be , didn't know what be was saying.

II, Robinson, who Is one of the youngest and most brilliant of the ludiana delegation, frequeutiy con tributes to the hilarity of the cloakroom by stories of pioneer life Just before congress adjourned he told this anecdote of early day campaigning in Indiana: In the early times of Indiana poll- tics It was not unusual for congression al candidates to travel together, speak together, ride together nnd sleep to gether. On one occasion In a district adjoinlug mine where the policy was pursued the Democratic candi date for congress was a tuau of ele gant manners, good clothes and well cultured, nnd was generally regarded by the less fastidious as a big bug, and so It was generally reported over the district In his cnmpiilgn. One night they bad finished hiw.iklng and retired to their room nnd went to bed Kleepiug together, nud bulb fell soundly to Bleep. The next morning the Republic an on awakening found his companion gone, nnd he made a search for him and found blm out lu the woodshed, lying across nn old fashioned saw buck with ills bead hanging down on one side and his legs down on the oth er.

Tbe old Swedish Intelligencer of the Gustavus Adolpbus period was gen uine war correspondence, published in deed tardily compared with our news of today, but nevertheless fresh from the scene of action, full of distinctive ness, quaint and raey beyond compare. The first modern wnr correspondent professionally commissioned and paid by a newspaper was the late Mr G.

But this new departure was not fol lowed up. and no English paper was represented in the great battles of the first and second Punjab wars.
