A Chattanooga dispatch, which we pub
lish this morning, indicates that the col
lapse of the Southern Railway pool is not
improbable. A heavy reduction in rates
from New York to Chattanooga has been
made and the Western and Atlantic Com
pany announces its intention to meet this
reduction by way of the Southern Steam
ship line. What action the East Tennes
see, Virginia and Georgia Company will
take is now the question which agitates
the members of the Southern pool.
The House Committee on Railways has
reported a bill which contains a nice little
scheme. It provides for the construction
and operation of ship canals between
Lakes Union and Washington and Puget
Sound, in Washington Territory. “On
its face it makes no appropriation of
money. It authorizes the AN ashington
Improvement Company to construct the
proposed canals and to impose and col
lect, for its own use, tolls and charges
upon every species and character of com
merce, vessels and passengers, passing
through the canals or any part thereof.
The bill also gives the company exclusive
right to purchase, at $1 25 an acre, all the
swamp, submerged and overflowed lands
in and about Lake Samawish or Squawk
lake and Lake Washington and their trib
utaries, except on that arm of Lake Wash
ington known as Union bay, which shall
be reclaimed or uncovered by construc
tion of the canals, and the lands reclaimed
in and around Lake Union and Union bay.
are donated to the company.” The pros
pect that such a bill will get through the
House is so remote that it is hardly worth
considering. It is hardly probable that a
Democratic House would create such a
as this bill proposes to
create. The backers ol this bill are one
Congress too late.
The Tariff Bill.
The Morrison tariff Gill, it is announced,
will be reported to the House on Monday.
The bill has undergone very little change
from what it was when Mr. Morrison in
troduced it. The number of articles to be
put ou the free list has been reduced to
three, viz.: Lumber, salt and coal. Not
withstanding the talk about a diversi
ty of views among the Democrats of the
Ways and Means Committee it appears
that they all unite in reporting the bill
favorably. This fact is satisfactory proof
that the gossips at the capitol were not
well informed respecting the sentiments
of the majority of the committee relative
to the bill. It is safe to assume that about
all the stuff that has been written as to
what Mr. Randall and those who voted
for him for Speaker will do has little or
no foundation. Mr. Randall can probably
be depended on to vote against the bill,
but it is very doubtful that he has taken
such a rash step as to attempt to form
a combination to defeat the bill. He is
too shrewd a politician to do anything of
that kind. The Democratic party is irre
vocably pledged to a reduction of the
tariff, and it had much better retire from
the contest for the control of the govern
ment at* once than to show a disposi
tion to evade the fulfillment of
that pledge. It announced tariff
reform to be its policy in its plat
forms of 1870 and 1880 and in the election
of Speaker Carlisle. To abandon that pol
icy now. or to show any weakness with
regard to it, would be to invite certain de
feat in the approaching campaign. Com
plaint is made by certain revenue reform
ers that the Morrison bill does not go far
enough. Mr. Morrison wisely determined
to propose a moderate bill, which
would have some prospect of meeting the
approval of a Republican Senate. If he
hail proposed a bill making sweeping re
ductions it would have stood no chance
ol passing, and it would have been said,
perhaps, that it was introduced for the
purpose of being defeated. The present
bill is not only moderate in its demands,
but it makes just about the reductions
which were advised by the Tariff' Com
mission was appointed by a Republi
can Congress. It it does not pass It will
call out a great debate, which will edu
cate the people and show the country ex
actly the position of the Democratic party
with respect to the tariff.
A Now Phase ol’ the Kentucky Sena
torial t'oniest.
it was thought that the last had been
heard of the Kentucky Senatorial contest
when Congressman Blackburn was elect
ed Senator. There is, however, to be an
investigation of charges that large sums
of money were paid to members of the
legislature for their votes iu that contest.
Nobody seemed to doubt, at the time the
contest was going on, that a great deal of
money was being spent by both Williams
and Blackburn, the chief contestants,
but it was not publicly, and, perhaps, not
privately, hinted that it was being cor
ruptly spent. Both contestants enter
tained their friends in a lavish manner,
and it was frequently remarked that the
canvass of neither of them was being con
ducted on a very economical basis. It
will probably appear on investigation
that the charge that votes were bought
rests on a very slender foundation. Sena
tor Williams has money, and could have
afforded, perhaps, it he had so desired, to
pay for help, but Blackburn hasn't the
reputation ot being a man of even moder
ately large means. If he bought
votes the money must have come
trom a source other than his pocket.
However, charges of corruption are made
now-a-days in connection with the eleo
tion of a United States Senator in almost
every State. In some instances, no doubt,
the charges are true, but they are not
generally true. The fact that so many
rich men who have little to recommend
them for the position of Senator get into
the Senate helps to create the impression
that seats in that body must be bought.
The Louisiana Delegates.
The Republicans of Louisiana have
nominated delegates to Chicago, who are
for Mr. Arthur if Mr. ArthuV has any
chance of getting the nomination. In
any event, they are tor whoever
Mr. Kellogg is for, and it is pretty
certain that Mr. Kellogg is
for whoever can do him the most good. In
the main, the delegates are Federal otfi
cials, and those who are not are closely
allied to those who are. There is not one
of them that will not obey Mr. Kellogg's
slightest wish. It is pretty certain that Mr.
Kellogg will handle that delegation in a
way that will help him to get clear of
that annoying indictment in Washington.
It is probable that the Republicans of
every Southern State will follow Louis
iana in indorsing Mr. Arthur’s adminis
tration, and that about all the delegates
will he chosen in his interest. It is no
ticeable that the Louisiana Republicans
put a State ticket in the field. The ticket
is made up of about the best material in
the party. One of the nominees, however,
turned out to be a Democrat, and has an
nounced his intention to vote the Demo
cratic ticket. It stands no chance of suc
cess, however, and was doubtless nomina
ted for the purpose of helping theeleetoral
ticket. The Republican leaders have some
hope, it seems, of carrying that State for
President. In good time they will dis
cover that this hope is groundless.
The Chicago Tribune pretends to be
lieve that there is a scheme on foot in the
Southern States by which “the Demo
cratic and Confederate Legislatures in
tend to take away from the people the
right to choose Presidential electors, and
proceed between now and November to
appoint the electors by legislative vote.”
it is claimed that this can be done under
the strict letter of the provision of the
Constitution of the United States, which
prescribes the manner in which electors
shall be chosen. The Tribune lashes it
self into a fury on the subject, and makes
it the pretext for a blood and thunder
editorial in abuse of bourbonism. The
fact that no proposition of the kind has
ever been mentioned fn the Legislature of
any Southern State, and that they every
one have statutes in pursuance of their
State constitutions providing for the
choosing of electors by a vote of the
people, goes for -little with the Tribune.
If that paper has no regard whatever for
truth, it ought to give its readers credit
for some degree ot intelligence and com
mon sense.
The citizens of Somerset, are dis
posed to emulate the example of the
New Jersey jury that found a murderer
“not guilty, if he would leave the State.”
A short time ago a man named Troxtill
and two brothers named Carter were
tried for w hat was regarded as a cold
blooded murder. The people of the
neighborhood were fiimly convinced of the
guilt of the accused, but, contrary to all
expectations, they were acquitted by the
jury. On Wednesday over 100 of the
best citizens of the county formed an or
ganization and served a written notice
ou the alleged murderers to quit the State
at once or suffer the consequences. Trox
till had already departed, but the Car
ters refused to leave and prepared them
selves for a bloody defense in case ‘they
should be attacked.
A interesting prohibition case has just
been decided by the Supreme Court of
Tennessee. A man named Boyd rented
the bar privileges of the steamboat City
of Nashville, which navigates the Cum
berland river. lie obtained the usual
license from the State and United States
authorities and sold liquor thereunder.
The river, however, at one point passes
•through a prohibition county where no
license is recognized by the authorities.
Boyd was indicted for selling without
license and convicted in the Circuit Court.
He carried the case up, claiming that he
only sold cn the boat while under way,
and was not liable to the local law. The
Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of
the court below, holding that the law ap
plied as much to the river and boats run
ning thereon as to the land.
Some Philadelphians gave a ball not
long since lor the benefit of the Presbyte

that the end justifies the means.
CURRENT COMMENT.
Judge Kelley and the Boys.
Philadelphia Timet ( Ind .).
Judge Kelley should understand that “the
boys” have won (he town; that they know
they have won it; that they know that he
knows that he helped them to win it;
that tliev regard the spoils as belong
ing to the baints, and that they regard "the
boys” as the saints. The only question now
is whether "the boys” will allow Judge Kel
ley to have a renoriiinatiou for Congress. He
may be elected over them, but “the boys
don’t thiDk so.
A Safe and Conservative President.
Boston Globe {Dun.).
The President ha? again demonstrated his
abilitv to give “a safe conservative admin
istration." The Pennsylvania. Republicans
are delighted over the appointments he lias
jurt made. He succeeded in so distributing
four offices as to please the State bosses,
the city bosses. of Philadelphia,
tin- Independents and the Cain
enmites. President Arthur means to keep
his own interests “safe,” and to be very “con
servative" about injuring his own prospects.
The Republican Scare-crow, 'i
louiecille Courier Journal ( Dem.).
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says bluntly
that “the Republican candidate for Governor
of Missouri this year must shake the Bourbon
shirt at the people in every county.” This is
refreshingly candid. lie might also carry
around with him and wave aloft the scaffold
on which John Brown was hiimr. which is re
ported to have been discovered the other day
in an old hou.-e at I harlestown, la. 1 hat
scaffold, with the bloody-shirt pendant from
its beams, would make either a mighty good
banner or a mighty good “scare-crow.”
A Hint to tlie Bosses.
Sew York Times (Pep.).
The same spirit winch compelled a stalwart
Legislature against its will to refuse a vindi
cation to Conkling and Platt, and which de
feated FOlger by 192,000 majority, is stronger
among the Republican voters of this state to
day than it ever was before. Both the Arthur
anil the Blaine'‘boomers’’ have encountered
it within the past week or two, and it lias had
a very subduing effect upon them. They have
stopped talking about the Republicans of the
State “rising as one man” for any candidate,
and are merelv assuring the world that any
good nominee will he sure of receiving the
united vote of the party. The great truth
stands revealed that it will be of little use to
have the “workers” rise as one man for a can
didate whom 75,000 or 80,000 voters may de
cline to support on election day.
ITEMS OF INTEREST.
A Washington boarding house mistress

Chicago hotel keepers say they will not

Those enterprising London publishers,
Smith. Enter A Cos., are said to he sadly dis
appointed at the result of their venture in the
Queen's book. Out of an edition of 10,000 they
were shrewd enough to pre-engage to libra

rest of the edition is still on their shelves, and
no need or prospect of printing more. The
publishers, not the book, were sold.
New York’s new water supply will cost
from $25,000,000 to $30,000,000. The works will

form a reservoir of fifty eight billion gallons
capacity. New York city daily consumes
100,000,1)00 gallons of water, and when the new

will reach 400,000,000 gallons daily.
Base bai.i. making is one of those quiet in
dustries which attract little or no attention
from the busy world, ifut prove unusually re
munerative to those engaged in them. Last
year over 3,000,000 balls were manufactured
in this country; and as the makers now have
a larger number of orders than ever before it
is estimated that 7,000,000 base balls will be
knocked into the great nowhere the coming
season.
A veritable natural curiosity is in the
possession of a St. Louts editor. It is the head

man states that he and a party of friends
were resting under an apple tree iu Cleburne,
Johnson county, Tex., when they perceived
the reptile on a branch above them, and,
knocking it down witli a whip, killed it.

A fire has recently wholly destroyed the
little villages of Castcllo in the Tyrol. The
IOT houses, with the outbuildings, which com
posed the village, were built so closely togeth
er that there was really nothing which conld
lie called a street or lane between them.
Built almost wholly of wood, with straw and
wood stored up in every corner, the walls
hung finger deep with soot because the smoke
finds its exit only by the door and windows—
it is not surprising that the fire once started
in these houses the whole village lay in ashes.

A fat ladies' hall was given at Baltimore
on last Friday night. It was a leap year en
tertainment, and conducted on the strictest
rules governing such affairs. Ladies tipping
the beam at 200 pounds and over tripped
around as gayly and seemed to enjoy them
selves as much as if they only weighed 100. At
the entrance scales were stationed, and each
ladv was given a card certifying to their
avoirdupois. The lightest weight allowed in
the promenade was 800 pounds. The fat ladies
did not dance the entire evening, hut preferred
to sit at the little tables along the sides of the
room and partake of refreshments. However,
when the band played the “Kiss Waltz,”
“t ome Fly witli Me,” “Free as a Bird,”
“Gently on Tiptoe Stealing." and kindred
melodies, it would entice them from their
seats. There were over 200 people present, and
over 100 of the ladies were fat.
TnEKE is a considerable amount of scandal
in Herr Busch's book about Prince Bismarck.
The Chancellor is made to say that his son
will never be able to accuse Mm of enriching
himself by using his information on the
Bourses, as “some foreign Ministers” have
done. Prince Bismarck goes on to naaie two
of them—both French, of course. One, who is
described as M. Gr., managed, said the Prince,
to double his fortune in a very short time;
while the other, M. de Mousticr, speculated,
not for himself, hut for his mistress, and fin
ished by taking poison. According to the
Chancellor, every Minister of Foreign Affairs,
is surrounded by temptations to utilize his
knowledge for his own benefit, and Ambassa
dors have even been known to abuse their
privileges by doing a little smuggling. Prince
Bismarck te'lis a story of the Duke tie Morny,
who made a very good thiug out of his Am
bassadorial nrivileges. When he went to St.
Petersburg its Ambassador from Napoleon
111., he took with him wagon loads of boxes
anil packing cases containing laces, silks and
other dutiable articles. Being the “personal
luggage” of an Ambassador, everything
passed the Russian frontier unexamined.
Once at Bt. Petersburg, however, the Duke de
Morny sold his silks and laces at a net profit
of 800,000 roubles.

New York Sun of March 5, exists at llich
mond over the appearance in the Whig
Thursday morniug of a card by Congress
man John S. Wise, brought about by an
editorial in the Campaign , edited by Oapt.
W. Page McCarty. When Mr. Wise’s
kitchen talk was published the Campaign
printed on Friday an editorial article as
follows:
“How characteristic.of the individual is-Mr.
Johnny Wise’s stump speech on the witness
stand. A mail occupying a seat in Congress,
stolen with manufactured votes, himself the
very exemplar of Virginia prejudice, brag
gart, and bully, the hero of thirteen bloodless
duels, kicked out of the Democratic party, and
selling his little stock of brains to Mahone,
frozen out of recognition by honest men, and
relegated to the association of the negroes
whom he deceives, and who are his superiors
iu all that makes even a pretence to manhood
—Johnny Wise, forsooth, talking about vilifi
cation, when he and his gang never had any
other capital hut vilification, prejudice and
falsehood.”
As Mr. Wise had figured in a duel and
had the reputation here for a long time as
a bully who would stand no insult, a duel
was looked for as the result of this article.
Wise about a year ago slapped the face ol
the Rev. John E. Massey because the lat
ter contradicted his testimony, and when
rebuked for striking a preacher nearly 70
years old he defended his act by saying
that he would strike a man of a hundred
years old who dared assert that he had
uttered a falsehood. Therefore when Mc-
Carty's article appeared in the Campaign
calling Wise a liar it was reported here
that the insult would be resented.
Wise appeared in this city on Saturday
%iori)ing, and it was assumed that a duel
was imminent. He remained here on
Sunday, and left that night. This morn
ing the Whig published a card from Wise
addressed to the public. Wise says:
If 1 had intended to recognize the editor of
that paper I would have done it long ago, for
the articles last appearing are tio worse than
many others iu tlie paper during the cam
paign. * * * Since McCarty killed Mr.
John B. Mordccai he has been going around
smelling the-blood on his hands anu panting
for more. Apparently without stake of any
sort, lie has maliciously nought to provoke a
difficulty first with Gen. Mahone, then with
Senator Riddleberger, and next with myself.
Some months before he said aught against me.
I was informed that he declared his purpose in
a public place to seek a difficulty with me
next. Gen. Mahone and Senator Riddleberger
failed to notice him, and I propose to do like
wise. What sasisfaction can I secure from
McCarty? I would not light a duel. Ido not
wish his blood, and would boas miserable as
he is now if 1 shed it. * * * With a sweet
home, filled with merry children, with
enough to live comfortably, with a paying
profession, lam happy and’want to live. In
God’s name, what would man like Page Mc-
Carty put in stake against this when he stooil
at ten paces with pistols?
Mr. McCarty is of one of the oldest
Virginia families. He is a ripe scholar.
JOSEPH COOK ON HIS MUSCLE.
The Famous Preaclier aud Lecturer
Thrashes a Local Minister iu Hamp
shire.
Rev. Joseph Cook has got himself into
new and unenviable notoriety, says a spe
cial to the Philadelphia Times. lie got
into a tantrum at Keene, N. 11., a few
days ago and thrashed a local minister for
calling him seven minutes too early to go
to a prayer meeting. That is the version
which Mr. Cook himself authorizes of a
rumpus that has scandalized the people
of Keene, N. H., since its occurrence.
The most authentic impartial story is
that the Rev. Joseph was at his hotel on
the day he was to deliver a lecture in
Keene and was called upon by Rev. Mr.
Price, of the Second Congregational
Church of that city. He agreed to attend
a prayer meeting before bis lecture at
Rev. Air. Price’s church, and that gentle
man called for him about 7 o’clock. When
the preacher knocked at the door of AI r.
Cook’s room he, instead of being cour
teously received, was set upon by Air.
Cook, who, in a towering rage, apparently
disturbed in a nap, came out into the hall
and, seizing the caller, began to push him
about and otherwise lay violent'hands on
him, at the same time using language,un
becoming a gentleman.
The fuss attracted the attention of a
large number in the house, and landlord
Sherman, who was quietly eating his sup
per, at first supposed that Wheeler,
champion wrestler, and Fletcher, the
butcher, had met by chance and were
engaged in playing up for a grapevine.
Sherman was among the first to arrive at
the 6cene of action, but upon discovering
what was going on he returned to the
dining room and finished his toast with as
much composure as Josh A\ hitcomb re
sumes his prayer after throwing the
drunken father of little Tot through the
window.
Air. Cook attended the prayer meeting
and when invited led in prayer. But when
he was invited to make remarks, instead
of noticing the request he seized his hat
and rushed out of the church, not even
taking care that the door should not slam
after him. His lecturo|at City Hall was not
largely attended. Air. Cook has written
a letter, in which he says he was very
tired when in Keene and he wanted a
chance to rest before lecturing. He didn’t
want to go to the prayer meeting with
Rev. Mr. Price, who wanted to use him as
an advertisement, but he finally agreed to
do so at precisely 7:15 by the hotel clock.
Air. Cook says;' “I hurried through my
supper and my toilet and lay down with
but fifteen minutes left in which to rest.
Before that time was half over Mr. Price
knocked at my door. The time was seven
minutes before that agreed upon and I
was wholly broken of the rest ab
solutely necessary to me before lecture
I opened the door and said: ‘Mr.
Price, I cannot see you until 7:15.’ I shut
the door and bolted it and again tried to
rest. He pounded on the door loudly,
lie continued to pound. I made no re
sponse. After waiting a considerable
time for him to come to his proper sense
of what decency required, and fearing he
would burst open tho door, 1 opened it
and said: ‘Mr. Price, you must cease
trying to force open this door. I shall re
port you to the keeper of the hotel.’ He
did not desist, and so I took him by the
collar and pushed him away, saying:
‘You are the rudest man I have seen in
six months. I am a good-natured man,
but I know when lam abused.’ This is
the strongest language I used. I went
alone at the hour agreed upon to Mr.
Price’s meeting. At his request I took a
brief part in the devotional exercises. To
my great surprise he said to the assembly
that he hoped Mr. Cook would speak if
the spirit moved him. To save the meet
ing from any awkward waiting, as I re
solved not to be forced to speak, I rose
and quietly left the room.”
Cold Tea Together.
Washington Kejiul/liean.
Mr. Carlisle paid Mr, Banncy a high
compliment near the close of the last
Congress by telling him to his face that
he considered him the ablest lawyer on
the Republican side of the House.
Mr. Rannev, having tor some time re
garded Mr. Carlisle as the most distin
guished lawyer among the Democratic
members, was able to cordially return
the compliment then and there.
A few minutes afterward they were
seated together in the House restaurant
partaking of cold tea.

ELOPING WITH A PRETTY GIRL.
A Brother of Brave Lieut. Rhodes Be
comes Famous.
Lieut. Rhodes, of the United States re
venue cutter Dexter, says a New Haven
(Conn.) special Alarch 5 to the New York
Times , whose heroic conduct in the City
of Columbus disaster at Gay Head won
him such distinction, has a younger
brother whose first name is William.
William has just brought glory to himself
bv eloping with the prettiest girl in North
Madison, and not only the prettiest girl,
but the girl with the wealthiest father.
Lottie Redfield has been the acknowl
edged lielle of the half-dozen char
coal towns within sight of her
father’s farm. She has sung in
all the concerts of Aliddlesex county.
She has posed in the tableaux of all the
Sunday school entertainments, danced at
all the country fetes, and made half the
youth of Eastern Connecticut tnad with
admiration for her pretty face and comely
figure. It was never suspected that Wil
liam Treadwell Rhodes was a favored
suitor until recently. His brother’s
bravery made him tamous, as it made all
the family famous, and to fraternal hero
ism in Gav Head’s waters was due, per
haps, more than to aughtelse, the tact that
the fair Lottie discovered attractions in
the attentions of William. William has
long be: n the envy of the farmer'boys ol
Aladison, and a hero in yarns spun beside
fiery pits of local charcoal burners. Wil
liam has seen the world, and all of \V il
liam’s acquaintances are fully informed
of the fact. William was educated more
or less thoroughly in a New Hampshire
miliary school when liis mother, a widow
before she married the Alary Stannard
witness, John Hopson, was keeping a
boarding house here for Yale students.
William threw aside the brass-buttoned
uniform of an embryo soldier to enlist on
a training ship in the navy, where his ca
reer was much more brief than brilliant.
It was about one week ago when Miss
Lottie Redfield was missed one morning
from her lather’s breakfast table, and on
the same day Lieut. Rhodes’ brother
William was missed from the North Alad
ison Groceries’ Competitive Romancing
Alatches. On last Sunday Lottie reap
peared, and William was with her. They
rode together over to Killingworth’s little
church through the snowstorm. The
pretty girl displayed a silk dress of bridal
cut, and the young man affected white
gloves. It was whispered in the church
long before the sermon had ended that
Lottie had become Airs. Rhodes. When
the service was over both freely owned the
fact and hosts of friends crowded around
them with congratulations and little ex
clamations of surprise. Samuel Red
field, Lottie’s father, was in the church.
He and his comety wife made straightway
for the door as soon as the benedictions
were said. Lotte and William impeded
their progress. Bride and groom both tell
upon the parental neck. Tlie parental
neck repelled them. A scene was there
such as Killings worth church-goers never
wi messed before. Samuel Redfield cast
his daughter oil'. She had married with
out his consent, against his will. Tears
and pleadings were alike in vain. The
grieved parent gave no heed to his child s
petitions, and when the exchange of hot
words was over, Deacon Sam Redfield,
impassive and severe marched out ot the
chill meeting-house with neither a word
for the disloyal daughter or the gaping,
gossiping neighbors.
Young Rhodes and his bride returned
to his mother’s farm-house. They seem
to have determined upon their plans re
gardless of his rich lather-in-law, who, it
is said, has changed his will, wholly cut
ting off his daughter. A reception is in
course of preparation, at which all the
folks of Aladison and Killingworth are to
gather to wish the young people happi
ness and prosperity. Lieut. Rhodes is
expected to he present. The scene at
Killingworth Church on Sunday, when
Samuel Redfield so coldly repulsed his
daughter’s overtures, is the talk of a halt
dozeu townships.
YOUNG ARTHUR'S ROMANCE.
A Story of Love on tlie Seashore, with
the President's Son as the Borneo.
Nothing has caused more talk in Wash
ington society, says a correspondent of
the Boston Globe, than the engagement of
young Allan Arthur to Aliss Katie Beach.
At first the report was not believed. Al
lan was considered too young to enter
into such a contract. There is no longer
any doubt about the engagement. When
Air. Arthur was out West viewing the
sights ot the Y'cllowstone, his sop was
putting m the time at the seashore. He
received a sick-leave from the college
physician. He first went to Long Branch.
Finding it dull there he joined a pally on
a trip to Narragansett Bier. During his
first evening at Narragansett Bier he
met Aliss Beach. It was late
in the evening. Allan was walking
along over the smooth sand of the shore
smoking a cigarette and wondering how
long he could postpone going hack to
Brineeion. A young lady passed him,
carrying a small basket of flowers. Allan
is near-sighted. He mistook her for a
(lower girl, and said: “Come here, my
good girl; I may purchase some of your
flowers,” quite like areal Prince. Miss
Beach laughed. As her silvery notes
rang out on the evening air, Allan real
ized liis mistake. For a moment he stood
speechless, and then, falling on his knees,
he made a graceful apology. AVhile he
was brushing the sand from his trousers
Aliss Beach ran away without making
any reply. Allan started in pursuit and
got a mutual friend to introduce him.
The rest followed as a matter of course.
Allan has been very devoted to his sweet
heart.
Allan is in his junior year at the college
and still has another year before gradu
ating. He never could be called hand
some. He is scarcely twenty years old.
He stands six feet two inches in his
stockings, and does not weigh over 140
pounds. His face is long and narrow.
He has coal black eyes, long dark hair
and very large hands and feet. In many
respects he resembles the typical slim’.
Mr. Arthur does not oppose the match.
He thinks Allan should have his own way,
so long as he keeps within a proper limit.
“I don’t suppose my son will want to
marry,” said Air, Arthur, “for a couple
ol years yet. There will l>e time enough
before that time to decide the matter.”
The Beach family are highly respectable
people. It consists of Mrs Beach, Aliss
Katie and Aliss Agnes Beach. Air. Beach,
the head of the household, died a few years
ago, leaving his wife and children in com
fortable circumstances. He was a Briga
dier General in the Union army during
the war. He was a native of New Y'ork
State. The family are of early English
stock. They have lived here’since the
war. They have a large, old-fashioned
house on Farragut square. It is covered
with moss and ivy, and is a very home
like looking place. Aliss Beach is a very
small blonde, with bright sparkling blue
ejesanda handsome mouth. She is not
remarkably pretty or fascinating in con
versation,’but has many little airs that
are considered attractive.
The young people write daily to each
other. ’Aliss Beach ties hers in’ a little
bundle with pink ribbons, and keeps them
in a perfumed box. It is said that Allan
entered on the engagement at first in fun,
and since has become deeply attached to
his sweetheart.
LOGAN’S END OF LOGAN’S BOOM.
Ami How Mrs. Logan Helps Her Hug
liaml Along in His Contest.
Colonel George W. Williams, well
known in public life, returned from Wash
ington Thursday, says the Boston Tran
script. “I called on Senator Logan,” he
said, “by special appointment. He lives
ou Twefth street, in an unpretentious
brick dwelling. When I called a member
of the House was interviewing him about
a bill of his that he wanted the Illinois
statesman to take charge of In the Senate.
The Senator was trying to get away from
the tenacious member of the House, anil
began backing up stairs. After some
time the Senator made good his escape.
He is more than ever a prominent Re
publican figure in the Senate, and the
members of the House who have bills go
ing to the Senate endeavor to get his sup
port for their favorite measures.
“In the General’s office or sitting room
or parlor, just off his bedchamber, at 9:30
in the morning, three or four gentlemen
were waiting for him and others were
constantly arriving. I was greeted cor
dially anil welcomed to a seat. In a mo
ment a grandchild of Senator Logan
sprang into the room with a warwhoop,
dragging a waste basket behind him. He
made a circuit of the room, in a minute
and disappeared, with a yell, through an
other door. Airs. Logan, a queenly look
ing lady, with fresh complexion, bright
eyes and gray hair; made her appearance
and was presented to all the gentlemen In
the room. She occasionally joined in the
conversation with grace and intelligence,
and moved about tbe room, looking after
any stray articles. She was constantly
interested in all that was going on. In
fact, Mrs. Logan is one of the best posted
ladies in Washington on politics.”
No Grease for Him.
“When Greece her knees—Greece her
knees—Greeqp her knees,” stammered an
embarrassed schoolboy, forgetting the
next line of his recitation. “There is no
occasion to grease anybody’s knees,”
shouted his teacher. “Go and study your
piece.” Neither is there occasion to
grease your hair. Parker’s Hair Balsam
is all the dressing you want. Restores

faded hair. Does not soil the linen; not

In the Pilot House.
••Yes, sir; this kind of work obliges a man
to keep sober as a judge. Of all men in the
world steamboat pilots and railroad engineers
should let liquor alone. For on their clear
ness of sight and coolness St head depends the
safety of life and property.”
Keeping his hand on the wheel as he said
this, Mr. A. Brockman, of Xo. 29j£ Silver
street, Chicago, added: “Of course, some of
’em drink; but the sober ones have the best
positions and the best pay. Yes, the work
anil exposure sometimes tells on ns; but for
my part I tiud Parker’s Tonic to be all the
invigorant I need. I’ve got a bottle aboard
here now; never goon a trip without it. When
1 haven’t any appetite, or am in any way out
of sorts, it sets me up in no time. If drinking
men would use the Tonic it would help 'em to
break off. (No, that isn’t a light house; it’s a
star, low down near the water.) As I was say
ing, the Tonic is new life bottled up. You see
that flag staff ' Well, with a bottle of Park
er's Tonic in the locker I can keep malaria as
far from me as that, all the time. My wife
has used it for three years for summer com
plaints and colic, and as an invigorant, when
she's tire% out from overwork, she says the
Tonic is a daisy. Good-bye! Don’t break
your neck going below.”
. This preparation, which has been known as
Parker’s Ginger Tonic, will hereafter be
