1 THE NEW ERO ORAPtilC April ao./ipil A DR. JOHNSON STORY. Illustrating the DUferenoe Between Aaeer+ion end Argument. ■ ' s i # - . = SJ V. A' ' Among the anecdotes of Dr. Johnson is one written not by his biographer, Boswell, but by another contemporary, Dr. John Moore. It is illustrative of Johnson’s manner and the importance he gave to ar- properly conducted. Dr. S iment oore said that be was one of a company at Mr. Hoole’s. Mention was made that counsel were to be heard in a certain case at the bar of the house of commons. One of the company asked Sir James John ston if he intended to be present. Sir James answered that he believ ed he should not, because he paid little regard io the arguments of counsel at the bar of the house of commons. “Wherefore,” asked Dr7 Johnson, "do you pay little regard to their arguments, sir?” “Because,” replied Sir James, “they argue for their fee.” “What is it to you, sir,” rejoined Dr. Johnson, “what they argue for? You have nothing to do with their motive, but you ought to weigh their argument. ,Sir, you seem' to confound argument with assertion. But there is an essential distinction between them. Assertion is like an arrow shot from a longbow—the force with which it strikes depends upon the strength of the arm that draws it. . But argument is like an arrow from a crossbow, which has equal force whether shot by a hoy or by a giant.” The narrator of this incident said the whole company was struck by the aptness and beauty of this illus tration, which certainly was ex- in clear and forceful Eng- { »ressed ish and jrith few of the Latin de rivatives with which the good doc tor delighted to ornament his sen tences. One of the company Mid, “That is indeed one of the most just and admirable illustrations that I ever heard.” 1 “Sir,” said Dr. Johnson, “the il lustration is none of mine.

To show the feeling of insecurity which was entertained the Emperor Nicholas I., Bis-1 marck used to tell the following story, which is one of Poschinger’s collected “Conversations With Prince Bismarck:” The court physician had prescribed massage for some ailment of the czar, who, however, was unable to find s single person in his household to whom be cared to intrust the task. At his wits’ end, he at last applied to Frederick William IV. for s few noncommis sioned officers of the Prussian guard. These were sent and after the com pletion of the rubbing cure returned to Berlin heavily laden with.pres en ta. “So long as I can look my Rus sians in the face,” said Nicholas, “all is well, hut I will not risk let ting them work sway at my hack.” A Sad Spell.
