Tampering with the Jury.
NEW YORK, June 2.—The Evening
Post says : It was learned late this af
ternoon on trustworthy authority that
four or fiye desperate and determined
attempts have been made to corrupt
the jury iu the Sharp case. The prose
cution has been engaged in trying to
trace the etforts directly to the defend
ant, but have not so far succededin do
ing ao. They have however traced
these efforts sufficiently close to the
friends of the defendant as to leave
no doubt as to the intention of the per
sons making the attempts. District
Attorney Martine declined to say any
thing on the subject, but would not
deny that such attempts had been made.
There is no donbt, however, as to the
truth of the reports, as the information
on the subject was obtained from a
person in a position to speak with au
thority on the matter, and whose ve
locity cannot be questioned. Indeed
ho would have no object in stating
aught but tne truth, lie does not
wish,however, to be quoted. It is said
on the same authority, that the per
emptory challenging by the people of
Mr. McLewee was in consequence of
certain information they had received
in connection with the attempts at m
bracery.
Intelligent Artillery Horses.
I once saw a youug soldier who be
longed to a battery of artillery engag
ed in patching the holes in his guidon
(a marker's flag) with cloth from the
lining of his uniform. When I asked
him why he spent so much time to
mend that old flag, his answer was,that
as we are so far from the base of sup
plies he conld not get a new one, and
that when the battery went into action
with thirty-six horses and six guns he
always stuck the pike of the guidon in
to the ground where the battery was to
to form, and eyen if the man who rode
the leading horse was killed or disabled,
and the noise of the battle was so great
that the bugle-call could not be heard,
the horses would wheel around the fl ig
and execute the maneuver known as by
left into line, and bring the muzzles of
the six guns on a line with the flag, and
then as soon as the gnns were unlim
bered, he would agaiu place it about
two hundred paces to the rear, and the
horses would galop to the rear with the
caisons and halt again on a line with it.
Is there not a beautiful sentiment in
the thought of those noble horses kcow
ing the flag and rallying to it ?

An Old Follow, Who Was Much Taken
Willi Something New In llie
Chieken Line.
'Wall, fur mercy's sake, look tliar,
pap,' saiil a woman, dressed in faded
calico and dim gingham. The old fel
low stopped and the woman pointed at
a lot of colored eggs which had been
left over from Easter, and which the
grocer had temptingly arranged in front
of his store. 'Look thar,' the woman
repeated, pointing at the eggs.
•They air a new wrinkle on my ho'n,'
said the old fellow, taking up one of the
eggs and examining it. 'These here,'
he added, addressing the grocer who
approached, 'muster boon laid by one
uy the ole blue hen's chickens.'
'They are descendants from the old
blue hen, sure enough,' the grocer re
plied, who showed an accommodating
quickness to tell a he, either through
courtesy or with an eye to business.
'You don't say so.'
'Yes, sir, and 1 bought them for Mr.
Garland, who sent mo word some time
ago to get him a few if 1 possibly
could.'
'Wall, (ius ought to know what good
chickens air.'
'He undoubtedly does.'
'Wall, I've heard about the old blue
hen's chickens all my life, but this is
the fust time I ever seed any uv the
aigs.'
'They are not very plentiful now,'
said the grocer. 'ln fact they are
brought ui> by the agents of monopolies
and sent north for the use of rich rail
road men.'
'The chickens, I reckon, lay over the
common run of fowls.'
'As much, sir,as day lays over night.'
'What special advantage have they
got V
'Well, they lay three times a day, for
one thing.'
'Now, look here, vcu don't mean
that.'
'I reckon lie do, pap,' the woman de
clared. 'I know in reason that he do,
for Aunt Caroline Wtlsh that had soiue
in Xo'th Kliny, told me jest befo' she
ditu that they wuz the outlayenist
things she ever seed, an' says she, 'Ev
erline, I do b'leve that the aigs is fresh
er than the aigs uv these here common
chickens.''
'She was right,' said the grocer. 'Mr.
Garland tells me that the eggs will keep
tor years without spoiling, but,' he add
ed, laughingly, 'if hedon't mind he will
find that they don't keep so well after
all, for if he dosen't come after them
pretty soon I'll sell tin m. A business
man can't afford to let his money lie
idle, you know.'
'That's a fact,' the farmer replied.
'Now, what mout they l>e wurth ?'
'Well, I hardly know. Where do you
liye ?'
•On Sal it e river, about two days ride
from here.'
'Do you come to town very often ?'
'Fust time 1 wuz ever here.'
'I thought that if you came to town
very often I might engage you to bring
me a lot of the chickens "when they
hatch. Tell you what I'll do. I'll let
you have all six of them for sixty
cents.'
'Ain't that a putty heavy price ?'
'Oh, 110, pap,' said the woman. 'Jest
think uy chickens that lay aigs—fresh
ones at that—three times a day.'
'All right,' s.iil tne old fellow, haul
ing out the toe of an old sock and shak
ing a few dimes from it ; 'l'll take \m.
Shore they'll hatch ?'
'Hatch ! Why you can cover them
up with an old straw hat and they'll
hatch. Much obliged. Well, call a
fcs'n.'
When the grocer went back into the
store, he slapped himself, laughed up
roarously and then said :
'lt may be wrong to cheat this way.
but I don't believe we are called upon
to have sympathy for such ignorant
people; and, besides, he'd cheat me in a
minute if he could.'
Several weeks later an old fe'low
drove up to the grocery store and ask
ed a man who came out to the curb
stone if he wanted to buy any guinea
chickens. 'Fresh as they ken be an' ai
re uly cleaned,' said the old fellow.
'What do you ask for them ?'
'Wall. I don't know whut they air
wuth. You sec they air mighty big
ones.'
'Tes, I see. How many have you
g)t ?'
'Fifteen.'
'There is not much sale for guineas.'
'Tney ought to be worth ten cents a
piece, oughtent they ?'
The grocer, with shrewd hesitancy,
replied: 'I don't know. Well, drive
round to the back door and put them
out.'
Immediately after receiving his mon
ey the old fellow drove down town, and
with a woman who seemed to be his
wife, was standing on a street corner,
when the grocer who had bought the
guineas rushed up and exclaimed ;
•You are a lying wolf, that's what
you are !'
'What's the matter V'
'You sold me a lot of buzzards, you
old wretch, and I am going to have you
anvsted if you don't give me back my
money. One of my best customers
bought one and then, discovering what
it was, struck me oyer the head with it
and then left the store.'
'W'y, pap, that was too bad, wan't
it ?' said the woman.
'I recognize you now,' said the gro
cer. stepping back.
*Yas,' said the old fellow, 'an—hut
don't be in a hurry. Didn't know the
blue hen's chickens when you seed 'em.
eh ? W'y I thought you knowd all a
bout the breed. Say, whenever you
want any more, jest let me know. They
lay three times a day, you know, but
I'm sorry that the chickens ain't as
fresh as the aigs. When jou come out
my way, drap in to see me.'— Arkansaw

A Question of Fees.
"Yes, said a pompous young law.
yer 011 a street car to a friend; I hadn't
been down a half an hour this morn
ing before I got a fee of 810.
Then the eyes of a man who was
hanging on a strap began to bi Ige.
"I say young feller, he v bispered
earnestly , "what saloon d'ye work at?
I'm a waiter myself."— [Puck,
Detectlvea and "iTookn."
Julian Ralph says in one of his New
York letters: It is a boast of iho de
tectives that they are personally ac
quainted witli all professional criminals
in and near town. The results of this
acquaintance are often peculiar. You
are talking with Detective Prior a few
feet from the door of the Fifth Avenue
Hotel and he sees a young dandy halt a
few feet away. 'Better keep right on,'
he says to the dandy, 'hurry up now.'
'Oil, good morning,' says the dandy.
•I'm only going to set my watch.' That
is Kid Miller, chief of the bunco men,
and the detective will not allow him to
stop in front of the hotel. You are
pushing your way into a shopping store
and a little ladylike body is just ahead
of you. Suddenly someone steps up to
her and roughly orders her to 'Get out
at once.' 'Certainly, sir.' she says very
meekly, 'I was only going to match a
piece of silk.' Shi lies ; she is a shop
lifter and the man who ordered her out
is a detective.
Perhaps you are at the Arion ball,
with its stkH) dancers and lookers on.
You walk in the lobby near the en
trance for a breath of air and uieet Cap
tain Williams, in uniform, alert and
handsome as an eagle. He darts from
your side and stands in front of a stout,
elderly, well-dressed gentleman so as to
oppose his progress. 'What do you
mean by coming here ?' he says. The
man answers ooldly : 'My wife is here
and 1 have come to take her home.'
'That'll do now,' says the Captain ;
'there's the door; get 1' and .as Arteunis
Ward used to say, 'lie gets.' Of course,
the man is a pickpocket.
A neatly dressed, rather substantial
looking man of middle age sends in his
card to Inspector Byrnes at police
headquai ters. The name on that card
is that of a burglar better known by an
alias, say 'lied Leary,' for instance.
'Well, what do you want ?' Mr. Byrnes
asks grudly. He has an especial tone
for men of that class and it is a tone
that forbids familiarity and suggests
mastery, a very different tone from the
quiet and easy one he lias for his
friends.
'I would like to be in Wall stmt 15
minutes to-morrow, Inspector,' says
the burglar. 'I want to see about a
personal matter.' 'I will haveona of
mv corps meet you at Broad and Wall
streets at noon, sharp,' says tho Insjec
tor.
The burglar thanked the official, for
it is a favor to such a man even to be
allowed to go to the money centre with
a detective at his shoulder all the time
he is there. To go without this per
mission and escort means a certainty of
being arrested and locked up.
Forms of Taking an Oath.
Quite a chapter might be written up
on the methods of taking oaths in var
ious countries in both ancient and mod
err: times. In some parts of China a
witness is sworn upon a saucer at the
moment he takes the oath. In Egypt
the custom prevailed -of swearing by
the goose. This is said to have been
on account of the veneration in which
the goose was held in that country.
In Madagascar the people swear eith
er by their sovereign or by their mother,
and there are two forms of witnessing
the oath, one to 'strike the \\at*r,' and
the other to l sie:ir the calf.'
According to Oldlield, in his *Exi>e
dition into the interior of Africa, by
the Niger,' at Iddah, placing a naked
sword or knife to the throat is looked
upon us the strongest proof of inno
cence, and the most solemn form of
oath they can administer. In this man
ner the King is sworn, or sometimes at
the point of a poisoned arrow.
We learn from 'Bruce's Travels' that
in Abyssinia a much less savage form
of swearidg is m use. Ho says: 'They
took the two fore-tingers of my right
hand, one after the other, and kissed
them—a form of swearing used there,
at least among those who call them
selves Christians.
The most ancient form of swearing
of which we have any record is that
mentioned in the Bible inGenesis,where
Abraham swearing his oldest servant,
required him to place his hand under
his (Abraham's) thigh. This form is
mentioned in several places in the Old
Testament. Anciently the Jews swore
by Jerusalem, by the temple, by the
God of Israel, and also by broken glass,
this last form being similar to the Chi
nese custom of breaking a saucer a
gainst the witness box.
The ancient Greeks and Romans
swore by Jupiter, Minerva, Neptune,
and other gods and godesses, laying
their head upon the altar of divinity
sworn by taking a particularly solemn
oath ; the ancient Germans by their
gods, by their swords and by their
beards; the Scandinavians, beside ap
pealing to the gods, touched a bloody
ring in the hands of a priest. The Hin
doo swears by the Oeda, and a Moham
medan is sworn on the Koran.
A Brave Woman.
Sister Maria Theresa a French nun,
who has lately been decorated with the
cross of Lpgion of Honor for forty
years' service in ttie army ambu
lances, seems to ho not only a biuvo
but a merry woman. During a time
of hard fighting in Tonquin, a bomb
fell iuto an ambulance full of wound'd
men. Si3ter Theresa seized the bomb
and carried it to a distance. When she
set it down it exploded, but, luckily,
not till she had time to throw herself
flat on the ground. Her assistants
rushed up in terror, and found her un
conscious and covered with hi nd.
When she regained her senses she ut
tered her customary phrase, "It's only
a joke," an expression which has since
become hei nickname. At another
time she was tending a wounded man,
when she was struck by a passing
plinter from a chargo of metruille ; but
her quiet observation was merely, a9
usual, "It's only a joke." At the cer
emony of the decoration, none of the
customary formalities were omitted,
The general who |conferre 1 the title
clievaliere on the braye nun touched
her with his sword on her both shoul
ders, and finally brushed her cheek
with his white mustaches.

Some ltetiinrl'iible t'uts.
•Did you ever notice how cats take to
drug stores V said a commercial travel
er for a drug house. 'Half the drug
stores hi thu towns on my route have
one or more cats about. I never found
till recently why cats have such a weak
ness for drug stores. One of my cus
tomers who owned a big cat that had
loafed around his place several 'jears
explained the mutter to me. The cat
followed hitn around behind the coun
ter, rubbed against him and purred like
a bur/, saw.
'She's teasing for her morning drink,'
said the druggist.
'Then he took down the extract of
valerian and put some on the floor. The
cat made a dive for it.snilTed it eagerly,
and in about a minute she WHS hilari
ously drunk. She rolled over on tlte
floor, squirmed about on her hack, and
behaved in a most Indecorous manner.
The drunk lasted alwut five minutes.
Then the cat staggered off and climbed
on the prescription case. Always aft r
the drunk she is cross as a tiger.
•The smartest cats I meet on my
travels aie a pair, mother and son, in a
hotel or billiard room at Cleveland.
They play oue-ba'l juiol with rare skill.
The kitten w ill start the ball and nound
across the table after it. Then tlte old
cat will catch It, and send it back so
swift that the kitten has to humu him
self to nail it. Finally the mother will
give the ball a push into one of the
pockets, and when the kitten dives
dOA*n into the slot after it the old cat
will pounce on him and hold him in the
pocket until he howls for quarter.
4 1 stopped in Washington on my wny
home,and while visiting a friend in the
treasury building ho sltowtd me the
worst wreck of a cat I tyer saw. Its
fur was ail singed off. The cat came
to the treasury u uier a republican ad
ministration and formed a wide ac
quaintance among the officeholders in
the building. She didn't take kindly
to the democrat or two who came into
the treasury under the new administra
tion, and she was especially Incensed
when a dog entered her domain. One
day Hector, the piesident's dog, saun
tered over in search of some plebian
dog to whip. The cat indignantly sltin
ed up the Hue of an unused tire place
and there remained over an hour. A
department clerk lighted the gas over
his desk and threw the match into the
fire place on some waste paper. The
paper ignited, £ and iu about a minute
there was a wild yell and the cat
tumbled down out of the Hue a singed
and smoking ruin.'

Tne well Known nursery song, begin
ning
Mary had a little lamb.
It's fleece was white us snow,
was founded on an incident of real life,
and, the heroine, Mary, is at the pres
ent time a benign lady of some 70 years
of age. Mary was born on a faim i.ear
Worcester county, Massachusetts, Hint
very fond was site during her early
childhood of i tinning about over the
fields with her father. One day tiny
found a young lamb numb with cold
and hall starved, its mother having
died during ttie night. Mary's kind
heart was touched, and lifting tlm half
de.ul annual in Iter aims shecarritd it
to the house, made a l>td for it near
the kitchen fire, and in due time Jimub
ed it back to life and health. In return
for Iter kind services the lamb becan e
very much attached t> Mary.
It followed her to SCIIOJI ONE day.
Which was against tin- rule ;
Mary hid it under ler desk, and all
went well until she was called 10 the
teacher's desk to tecite her les."< n,
when the lamb walked after her, at.d
"made the children laugh and play."
The teacher was obliged to turn it out
and shut it up in an adjoining wo< d
shed until such time as Mary could
take it home. A young student, hear
ing of the incident, wrote the thyme so
familiar to all. The lamb lived to a
good old age, and Mary wore several
pairs of stockings made from its lleece,
one pair ol which figured not so very
long ago at a church fair in Massachu
setts, where they were sold for a big
price as a curious re'ic of the old days
which furnished the inc.dent of John
Rollstone's story in verse about "Mary
and her little lamb."

In a conversation drifting toward the
many wise provisions of nature the Rev.
Mr. Mackwell said : 'The other day,
in my intellectual exclusions. I came a
cross a wonderfully sensible paper treat
ing of the use of snakes. The lorg
black snake is especially useful. lie
goes into the dense swamps, warms
himself among the reeds and flags, and
devours thousands of scorpions and liz
ards, which, without his timely inter
ference, would become too numerous.
So, you see, everything, even the black
snake, is useful,being created for a pur
pose.'
'That is all very well,' one of the rev
erend gentleman's Msteners replied.
'We recognize the usefulness of the
snake, because he devours scorpions
and lizards, but. of what use, pray tell
me, tire the scorpions and lizards ?'
'They eat innumerable insects,' the
minister triumphantly replied.
'All right; but of what use are the in
sects ?'
'The insects ? Why-er—they serve
as food for lizards.'
'Yes; but of what use are the lizards?
'Why, you must lie blind not to see
that they serve as food for snakes.'
'Of course I see that, but that only
brings up the question of what use are
the snakes ?'
'To eat lite lizards, 1 tell you. My
dear sir,' the minister added, 'it is not
strange that philosophy advances go
slowly when we think of mail's narrow
noss of understanding.' Arkansaw
