The Resort Courteous.

Lord . Russell’s visit to America reminds the London Chronicle of an ancient story. It says that during Lord Russell’s previous tour in this country with Lord Coleridge, he came in contact with many members of the bar A including Mr. Evarts. It was while walking with Mr. Evarts one day aloitg the banks of aistream that his attention was called to a point at which Washington, according to tradition, had thrown a dollar right across. The water was wide, and Lord Russell looked doubtful. “You know a dollar went further in those days than It goes now,” the” American lawyer blandly Insinuated. “Ah,” said Lord Russell, quite equal to the occasion, “and it may have been easy enough to Washington; it is well known that he threw a sovereign across the Atlantic.” „ •
