A Lawyer's Retort.

The greater number of cases are tried before judges without juries, and the occupants of the bench are accustomed to resent an eloquent appeal as some- thing in the nature of an insult to their mental powe*s.

‘‘Do you think to soften my heart,” sarcastically asked a well Known chan- cery judge when a member of the equity bar, making a rare attempt at rhetoric, drew a pathetic picture of his client’s wrongs.

‘*My lord,’’ replied the counsel, who

oat once recognized the failure of bis appeal, but was quick to find success in his retort, ‘‘I know it is impossible. ’’ — London Globe.

A TINY RESERVATION.

William Penn’s Indian Tract Still Preserved In Philadeiphia.

Philade!] phia contains one relic of the days of William Penn which is un- known to most inhabitants of the Quak- er City. It is a small portion of ground which still retains by virtue of a pro- vision in the charter its original charac- ter. Right in the heart of the business section of the city it lies, the only place for miles around that bears no foot- prints of the march of progress and com- merce, the only building lot in the city which has never been near the hands of prea! estate agent.

You have but to godown Walnut street to Second, turn up Second unti you come toa little iron gate on the east side of the street, swing it back and enter and you stand within the indian reservation.

In the days when Philadelphia used to be the metropolis of tbe red men, and they came by various trails across the country and down the Delaware to hold council there, it grew necessary for them to have some appointed spot for their conclaves. William Penn dedicated this reservation to them as a trysting place and provided that it should be sacred to their use forever.

It is a foreign enough place now, shut in as it is by high buildings on pearly every side. The old Union Tele- graph office confronts it on one side, a wholesale liquor dealer’s store backs up against tt on another, and a high board fence chokes off the last hope of any eutlook from the place.

There is no mark totell of its original use or to stamp it as one of the curiosi- ties of the day. One’s only solace for his grievance is to imagine that the stealthy tread of moccasined feet is still echoing there and that the strange words of the redskin’s tongue have left some spel] upon the place.

In size it is a poor comment upon Penn’s generosity, for it scarcely affords room sufficient to turn a wagon anda pair of horses. Perhaps becanse of its microscopic dimensions there has never been any attempt to encroach upon the rights of the old reservation.

For more than a century it bas stood in its native state in the midst of the great city, a relic of a pathetic past, an heirloom for owners who will never reclaim it.,
