"Ckransellor E^ill Brlen tells the fol­ lowing story of how he passed his ex­ amination as counselor ft law and ob­ tained his license: "I had my papers filled but and wait­ ed over to Judge Joe C. Gill to pass my examination and have my papers sign­ ed. It was in the afternoon, and Judge Gill, as everybody who knew was aware, was nn ardent and successful turfman. At that time he had Orphan Girl in training for the Maxwell Hotel Stakes, to be run at Nashville, and Brakeman, who was thought to have a pretty good chance of winning the Mer­ chants* Stakes at St. Louis, both races being set down for the same day. "I walked into his office with my papers in my hand, and lboking up pleasantly the Judge greeted me Sia fol­ lows: " 'Good-morning, William. I under­ stand you want to pass your examina­ tion and be a lawyer?' " 'Yes, sir; that's what I'm here for this morning.' , " 'Were you out on the track this morning to see the horses' work?" " 'Yes, sir.' " 'Did you see that Kentucky crack, Lelos, and my. mare, Orphan Girl, work?' " 'Yes, sir, they both went a mile, and you know this track was a bit slow. Orphan Girl finished up strong and swinging all through the last furlong in 0:47, and Lelox was all out, and had the boy kicking him in 0:47^.' " 'I reckon my mare has a pretty good chance for the Maxwell. " 'It looks like a certainty. Lelox la all she has to beat, and he's as good as done already.' " 'What kind of a plan would it be to Bend Alcock to St. Louis with Brake- man for the Merchants' Stakes?' " 'The horse is good now, and he has nothing to beat over there. Land him in St. Louis all right, and it's as good as a walkover.' " 'I think I'll send him. Let me see-- ah! I thought I was forgetting some­ thing; we forgot all about the examina­ tion; hand me your papers, Williain, and see me sign them.' " "Counselor Bill" walked out with his duly attested license, and a short time later Judge Gill won the Maxwell House Stakes and the Merchants' Stakes with Orphan Girl and Brake- man.--New Orleans Times-Democrat. The Gtans of the future. We have become familiar with smokeless gunpowder, in idea at least, and we are aware that it makes not nearly so much noise as the old- fash­ ioned sort. But silent cannon, which emit scarcely a flash, are still a novelty --not a welcome one either to soldiers. Colonel Humbert of the French army has invented this boon and patented it. The experiments carried out by the Hotchkiss company are s4M to be most promising. In some wonderful man­ ner he contrives that the mouth of the gun shall shut automatically the in­ stant its missile has emerged. Thus the flame and the report are bottled up. The announcement may probably be true--one does not venture to doubt any marvel of the ingenuity alleged now­ adays. This also would make Tor the extinction of war. It is remarkable that the latest Improvements tend, upon the whole, to assist a defending force, rather than the assailants. Re­ peating rifles and smokeless powder, machine guns and balloons, all strengthen the bands of these who have to repel an attack, themselves more or lees under cover. But If the art of war, In its highest flights, he intuitive, what very exceptional men the great generals of the future must be! With­ out smoke or flash, or even sound to in­ dicate the position of a battery which decimates his troops at a distance to be reckoned in miles, an ordinary mortal would be distracted. Doubtless, if this Invention prove to answer. It will be applied to small arms also. The French are agitating now for the abolition of universal compulsory service, upon the ground that Germany will never attack them.

It is a new route, but it will serve to try you out.' I was knocked daffy, but I took the money, caught the train, and sold stoves right and left. In a week I had a letter from tbe house asking who in the world I was and where I came from. The oth­ er fellow, for whom I was mistaken, had shown up and Claimed the Job.
