The Police Gazette prints a cut alleged

are of rare occurrence in this State. In
deed, they are never permitted except in
the i lost out-of-the-way localities. How

When Mr. Tilden withdrew from politi

party now than he was four years ago,
when he himself declared that he was no
better than a dead man tor a leader? And
yet an Atlanta correspondent alleges that
the pres# of Georgia is “bubbling over”
for Tilden.
European steamers arrivin'; at Sew
York continue to report icebergs as being

usual for them to appear until May, and
the opinion of scientists is that some
thins very extraordinary has occurred in
the Polar regions to cause the bergs to
break loose and drift southward 60 early
in the season. Notwithstanding tfce un
usual severity of the winter in the United
States, it is not impossible that it has
been quite mild fuither to the north,
though to assume that such is a fact
would be contrary to the commonly-re
ceived opinion in regard to such matters.
Ail of the Louisiana delegates to the
Republican National Convention are
office holders but two. The New York
Herald calls attention to the fact that
there is an unrevoked Executive order
which was issued on the 22d of June, 187",
and which reads as follows: “No officer
should be required or permitted to take
part in t .e management of political organ
izations, caucuses, conventions or elec
tion campaigns. This rule is applicable
to every department of the civil service.”
If this order were enforced it would en
tirely change the character of the South
ern Republican delegations lo Chicago. It
pught to be revoked or enforced.
Falsehoods Refuted.
A few days asro we called attention to a
Washington special to the Chicago Tri
bune, which stated that the Republican
members of the Senate committee which
went to New Orleans to investigate the
Copiah county troubles declared that at
one of the balls given in New Orleans at
the Mardi Gras Jefferson Davis, with his
daughter, the daughter ol Gen. Lee, Gen.
Longstreet, and some other noted Con
federate Generals, sat in a box which was
draped with Confederate flags; that a
floral sword, decorated with the Confede
rate colors and addressed simply “To the
President,” was presented to this noted ex-
Confederate partv in the box, and was ac
cepted. According to this dispatch one
of the Senators who furnished the above
information said, “1 did not think that
that looked very much like reconstruc
tion. lu a cood many other countries of the
civilized world it would be called 4 trea
son." The Ne Orleans Times-Democrat.
commenting on this dispatch, says;
We doubt if there be a single truthful
sentence in this whole telesrrara. It is
true that tbe daughters of Gen. Lee were
thi-re. but not that th“ daughter of Gen.
L n'.'street was with them. It is also true
that the box was draped, but not true that
it was draped with Confederate flags. It
is true that Mr. Jefferson Davis was in
the box, but it was also true that Admiral
Cooper, of tbe United States navy, was,
with his wife, in the box with him. It is
true that a floral sword was pr sented,
but it is not true that it was presented to
Mr. Davis. It is true that the sword bore
a legend, but utterly and absurdly
false that the legend read; “To the Presi
dent.” The simple truth is that the pre
sentation was nothing more than a tribute
of respect and affection from Gen. Lee's
soldiers to Gen. Lee’s daughters. It bore
the inscription “The Sword of Lee.” and
possessed no earthly sisrnitieance beyond
that which appeared upon the surface.
It was designed to tell the orphaned
daughters of a brave aud honorable
gentleman that his old comrades held his
memory in love and reverence. Tbe human
being who could misunderstand or mis
represent a demonstration so innocent
and so beautiful must lie base indeed, and
■ we do not envy Senators Cameron, Hoar
and Frve, among whom the odium seems
to lie distributed. We believe all three of
these patriots and gentlemen were invited
to the ball, and, therefore, the one who
cave the alleged information had the op
portunity, at h-ust, of knowing that it was
utterly and unqualifiedly false both in
substance and intention.
The Chicago Tribune is a journal of
wide circulation, and thousands of people
read and doubtless believed the falsehoods
in that dispatch. Of all the journals of
the country the Tribune is the most bitter
towards the South. It improves every
opportunity to misrepresent the Southern
l>eople. It is a little curious, however,
that the statements in the dispatch, in a
iiuie different shape, did not find
their way into other Northern pa
pers. It is barely possible that
neither of the Senators mentioned
made the statements contained in the dis
i patch. One of them, or all of them, may
j have referred to the incident of the pre
sentation of the floral sword and the pres
ence of Mr. Davis and the Misses Lee at
the ball, and some malicious person on
such a slender foundation may have im
posed the false dispatch on the 'Tribune’s
correspondent. Senators Frye and Hoar
enjoyed the hospitality of the peo
ple of New Orleans, and during their
stay there were treated with every con
sideration. If they are not responsible
for the slanderous dispatch they ought
to say so. Ordinary slanderous attacks
j on the South are no longer heeded, but
! statements by United States Senators,
j whether false or true, are apt to arrest
I attention.
Negro Colonization Again.
The recent agitation of the schemes for
the colonization of the negroes, where
they can have the blessings or curses—as
the case may be—of self-government, has
attracted very general attention. It is
stated that State Senator Kernel-, of Vir
ginia. who introduced the bill in the Vir-
I ginia Senate lately to inquire into the
expediency of an experimental colony for
colored people, has received many letters
from distinguished men all over the coun
try approving the project. By far the
greater number of these came from the
North. Some ot them expressed the
opinion that the proposed colony ought to
be established in Africa, where the col
ored people would not only develop the
country and improve their condition, but
become profitable to the commercial in
terests of tbe United States.
Negro colonization has already had a
trial in Africa. It is a curious fact that
the colonization question was first
brought before a legislative body in Vir
ginia by a resolution similar to the one
recently introduced in the Senate of that
State in the first year of the present
century. No definite results were ob
tained, but so much attention was at
tracted to the subject that a few years
later the American Colonization So
ciety was organized. In 1817 that society
sent agents to Africa to locate a
colony. In 1819 Congress appropriated
$lOO,OOO for the purpose of carrying back
to Africa such slaves as should be sur
reptitiously imported. A colony of 88
persons was sent out in 1820, and two
I years later was established at Cape Me
sttrado. Additions were made from time
to time of manumitted slaves from the
Southern States, but the powers of gov
ernment were retained in the hands of the
agents of the society until 1828, when the
colonists were given some voice in the
management of affairs. The colonists were
gradually given greater power, but
the society retained the right to
nullify any act of the Legislature
until 1#47. when a declaration of indepen
dence and the constitution ot the Repub
lic of Liberia were adopted. Since that
time the society has continued to send out
emigrants and to provide them with tem
porary means for support. About 14,000
persons altogether have been sent to
Africa. Since the founding of tbe colony
the parent society has Spent nearly three
millions of dollars in its settlement and
encouragement.
This colony was established under ex
ceptionally favorable conditions,and while
the experiment in self-government by
the negroes cannot be called an absolute
failure, it has not been as successful as
the triends of the colonization scheme
hoped. The colonists have only been mod
erately prosperous. A few have acquired
small fortunes by traffic with the native
Africans, of whom there are over 700,000
in Liberia and adjacent regions. The
Americo-Liberians have not increased
rapidly and now number scarce
ly 20,000. No considerable num
iier of the colonists have
relapsed into barbarism. The colonists
maintain a good many public schools, as
well as churches of the Methodist Episco
pal, Protestant Episcopal and Baptist
denominations. A great many of the
native Africans are Mohammedans, and
they have prevented the spread of Chris
tianity among the idolators to any great
extent.
The republic contracted a loan of half a
million dollars in London in 1871. The
President, James Roye, on his return
home, was accused of having appropri
ated the money thus obtained to his own
use and that of his Cabinet. In conse-
was a popular uprising, and
Roye was deposed and imprisoned, and an
executive council was intrusted with the
government until anew President was
elected.
Liberia contains nearly 20.000 6quare
miles of territory embraced in the present
political jurisdiction of the republic,
which might be extended to 100.000. There
is room for all the negroes of America
who desire a country governed exclusive
ly by their own race. The conditions nec
essary for success are probably more fa
vorable there than in any portion of the
West, besides they would be free from
the social and political influences which
cause race antagonisms in America. It
would be very hurtful to the race should
they attempt to colonize in Liberia or
anywhere else en masse.
The professions of interest in the wel
fare of the workingmen by the protec
tionists was aptly illustrated by a witty
at Phoenixville, Pa., the other
day. lie said the monopolists were for
“protection before the election and starva
tion afterwards.”
Hon. Abram 8. Hewitt says lie has not
seen Mr. Tilden since last July. Hon.
Abram would not be apt to be very far off
if Tilden was booming Presidentially.
The New Alloy Swindle.
There have appeared in print several
times recently a report of the discovery of
a most valuable alloy produced from iron
slag. The alleged inventor was one Sher
man, a shrewd rascal, who has succeeded
in swindling quite a number of capitalists
in the North. In working his game he
would get acquainted with persons inter
ested in metal working and represent him
self to be the inventor of a wonderful pro
cess of producing an alloy, which pos
sessed all the properties of tin
and which would cost less than pig
lion. He showed samples of
a white, brilliant malleable non-rusting
metal, which was evidently very valua
ble. He would then invite his victim to
select a specimen ot iron slag with which
an experiment should be made. This was
put into a crucible, which was placed in
the furnace after Sherman had added an
ounce or two of some substance from a
paper which he carried in his pocket. At j
the end of half an hour the crucible was j
withdrawn and a lump of the alloy j
weighing more than a pound would be !
found at the bottom of the slag, Pieces of
the alloy were carried to different assay
ists, every one of whom declared them to
be pure tin.
While it is certain that tiu can not be
produced from iron slag, the maimer in
which Sherman introduced that metal
into the crucible has not yet been detect
ed. While he has obtained a good deal ol
money out of his victims, he has been
smart enough not to sell his secret to any
one, but only secures advances to enable
him to make experiments. He has had
many narrow escapes, but has so far
managed to keep out of the clutches of the
law.
Sherman, it is said, has worked his
game for all it is worth in several parts
of Europe, aud is now “wanted” on tbe
other side of the water on charges of
swindling. He has lately been operating
in New York and Pennsylvania, but as
he can do nothing else there he may come
South and try the gullibility of those who
are looking out for strange modes of mak
ing sudden fortunes in this section of the
Union.
The approaching Immigration Conven
tion at Nashville is attracting wide atten
tion. The Current, of Chicago, has the
following to say about it: “The Southern
States Immigration Association will be
gin its active existence at a meeting to be
held in Nashville in a few days. No
organization of progressive forces effected
in the South since thf war equals this
association in importance, aud if unanim
ity and general co-operation can be se
cured the South will unquestionably be
able to secure a fair share of the foreign
immigration. One difficulty the South
has encountered is the absence of trans-
Atlantic steamship lines, while scores of
spacious and swift steamers, construettd
w ith special reference to the transporta
tion of ’immigrants, plv constantly be
tween French and German and British
seaports and New York, Boston aud
Philadelphia, 'l’he Southern jtates Im
migration Association propose to make
Southern climate and resources known to
the people of Southern Europe especially,
and an effort will be made to have anew
•Castle Garden’ established at a Southern
seaport, and every facility will be fur
nished immigrants to secure good loca
tions and employment. The beginnings
ol such an enterprise will probably be
small, but its perfect ultimate success is
beyond question.
The family troubles in the Republican
party in New York city appear, to be as
far from a settlement as ever. The party
is not able to get along without the nia
chine, and the machine has been so utter
ly unscrupulous that it has forfeited the
confidence of the more respectable portion
of the party. The Republican caucus
met the other day and nominated the no
torious ward politician, JohE J. O’Brien,
for Pr sident of the County Committee.
This meets with the unqualified disap
proval of the party papers. Even the
Philadelphia Press condemns it. It says:
“This is unexpected, because it was sup
posed that even the New' York Republican
machine had learned something by the de
feat in 1882; but there is, fortunately,
time to teach it something more before
next November. The ‘boys’ will find it
toilsome work persuading rich New York
Republicans to trust O’Brien with cam
paign funds.” It seems that the great
objection to O’Brien’s selection among
the Republicans is not one of principle,
but is based on the impolicy of being un
der the leadership of a man who cannot
command sufficient respect to encourage
the contribution of campaign funds.
The indications are that the straightout
Republicans of Virginia are in earnest in
their determination not to submit to boss
Mahone any longer. The Mahoneites
think Virginia Republicans will put an
independent electoral ticket in thfi field,
but whether they will pursue this course
or make the fight in the National Conven
tion is not settled. It is certain that Ma
hone will head a delegation to the Chicago
Convention. If the regular Republicans
also send a delegation the contest for ad
mission will be interesting. The conven
tion would have to decide whether it
would admit the representatives of those
who have alw'avs been faithful to the
party, or the corrupt tricksters who until
recently have loudly proclaimed that
they were not Republicans. Thousands
of the better class of Northern Republi
cans have condemned the course that has
been pursued by the administration in in
dorsing Mahone. and it is doubtful if the
party will formally commit itself to that
policy by admitting the coalition delega
tion at Chicago, if the Virginia Republi
cans make the issue squarely.

Tinkering the Record.
Peiroit Free Press {Den.).
Congressman White,of Kentucky, furnished
a happy illustration of the advantage to he
derived from having the Record “tinkered”
liefore its issue. After he had insulted Gen.
Rosecrans, in the absence of the latter, and
was called to account with a demand for
repetition of the words, he declared he would
“stand by the record.” And in order that he
might do’so safely he went and had the record
changed.

Gen. Gordon, the commander of the Eng

as to a future life: “I think that this life is
only one of a series of lives which our incar
nated part has lived. I have little doubt of
our having pre-existed: and that also in the
time ot our pre-existence we were actively
employed. So, therefore. I believe in our
active employment in a future life, and like
the thought. We shall, I think, be far more
perfect in a future life, and, indeed, go on to
ward perfection, but never attain it.”
The New Haven Xews relates the following
story of cx-Gov. Hubbard: "Years ago at
Hartford he was a member of a coterie which
met periodically to plav whist. One of the
fiartv who was locally famous for his slovenly
lahiis and soiled dress, a-tonished his friends
one night by appearing with a beautifui white
rose in his button-hole. Addressing Mr.
Hubbard, he said: 'Hubbard, did you ever see
a liner rose than that? Now where do you
imagine I got that rose'-’ Mr Hubbard looked
quizzically at the flower resting in its flirty
loop hole and answered: ‘Looks its though it
might have grown there.’ ”
The shops that have sprung up all over the
country for the sale of druggists’ goods, par
ticularly pateut medicines, at reduced rates
have touched the regular dealers in a tender
place. In New York,on Thursday,at a meet
ing of the Druggists’ Union, it was resolved
not to purchase from any wholesale druggists,
manufacturers or agents who sell to any per
sons who are proved to be underselling the
prices of the New York and Brooklyn Union.
It was also determined not to purchase from
proprietors who retail proprietary medicines
at less than union rates, or sell to retailers at
less than manufacturers’ prices, or sell to dry
goods stores.
An English Judge, the late Mr. Justice
Byles, always took his notes of evidence in
shorthand, and he was therefore enabled to

delay of some minutes he turned for aid to the

A salutary rekokm in reference to noble
men's degrees is contemplated at Cambridge
University, in England. The Council of the
Senate have reported that they are of opinion
that there are no sufficient reasons for con
tinuing the practice of conferring the com
plete degree of B. A. upon Peers and sons of
Peers who come to the university in their
voutli, and recommend that Peers and the
sons of Peers who may hereafter enter the
university and desire to proceed to the degree
of B. A. should be required to keep by resi
dence the same number of terms as other stu
dents in arts under the same conditions.
The following story is told of Judge Gray,
now in the United States Supreme Court: "A
man was brought before him wljo was justly
charged with being an offender of the mean
est sort. Through some technicality the
Judge was obliged to discharge hnn, but as
he did so he chose the time to say what he
thought of the matter. 'I believe you guilty,"
he said, ‘and would wish to condemn you se
verely, lmt through a petty technicality 1 am
obliged to discharge you. 1 know you are
guilty, and so do you, and I wish you to re
member that you Will some day pass before a
better and perhaps a wiser Judge, when you

The passage In Queen Victoria’s book re
specting Dr. Norman Macleod’s sermon on
the war m October, 1870, when lie obliquely
applied to France the denunclationsof Isaiah,
is not plea.-ing to French readers. One Paris
newspaper say*: “Her most gracibus Majesty
lias revealed her political sympathies, and
shown that she is still a German by birth and

FREEZING AND STARVING.
The Sufferings of the Crew of the Balti
more Schooner Stephen J. Forks.
A terrible story of hardship and suf
fering at sea, says a Boston special of the
7th inst. to the Philadelphia Press , is told
by the crew of the Baltimore sehooner
Stephen J. Forks, who were brought into
this port to-day by the fishing schooner
Mary S. Hontvet, of Portsmouth, N. H.,
which rescued them in mid-ocean when
they were at the very point of death. “I
picked them up off George’s Bank,” said
Captain James, of the Hontvet. “In all
my years of experience at sea l never saw
men in such a terrible situation. Their
vessel was drifting helplessly, nearly
every rag of canvas being blown off her.
She had seven feet of water in the hold
and was sheathed with ice to the very top
mast.
“When we boarded her we found the
captain lashed to tbe mainmast, shouting
and screaming at the top of his voice, his
eyes wild and bloodshot. He had become
insane through hardship, and his fellow
sufferers had been forced to lash him to
keep him from killing them. His hands
and feet were terribly frozen. Of the six
other men on board the vessel not one was
able to move. All were badly frozen, the
steward ar,d second mate especially. For
two days they had been without food, and
their water was salt. As tenderly as pos
sible, we took them on board the Hont
vet, where we did everything in our pow
er to relieve their sufferings. We started
to tow the Forks to Boston, but the men
were in such a critical condition that we
cut her adrift, and ran for this city to se
cure medical aid.”
On arrival in port Capt. Cranmer, the
steward and the second mate were taken
to the Marine Hospital in Chelsea. They
are so terribly frost-bitten that their limbs
may have to be amputated, even if they
recover. The others of the crew were
cared for in this city. The first mate sim
ply, lmt graphically, tells the story of the
voyage:
“We left Elizabethtown February 10,”
he said, “with 095 tons of coal. We stayed
a week in Vineyard Haven. February 27
we set sail again, but owing to heavy
gales were forced to anchor oil' Handker
chief Lightship. The next day one of our
chains parted, and- to prevent her from
going ashore we had to slip the other
chain. She drifted rapidly to leeward,
and before we could get sail on her she
struck on a shoal and sprung aleak. All
hands set to work at the pumps and strug
gled hard to keep herafloat, but the'water
gained so fast it was terrible work.
“The weather was intensely cold, and
a thick snow storm prevailed. One by
one the men became paralyzed by tbe
terrible cold and fell to tlie deck, unable
to stand. After four days of continual
work at the pumps, we stopped Tuesday
in despair, deciding to abandon her at the
first opportunity. At 7:30 Wednesday
morning we were oft'the southern edge of
George’s Bank, having drifted over 200
miles. There our signals of distress were
seen by the Hontvet, whose Captain and
crew have done for us everything they
could.
“Tuesday morning Capt. Cranmer went
mad from thirst and suffering. He broke
up the stove and binnacle and cabin fur
niture, and was rushing wildly about with
a revolver in each hand threatening to
kill us all, when we overpowered him and
lashed him to the mast. The other men
bore up bravely, although suffering horri
bly. The sea was breaking over us and
we could not have holdout much longer.”
Capt. T. J. Cranmer is also the principal
owner of the Forks, which is a three master
of 408 tons, built in 1874 at Solomati’s Isl
and, Md. She is being towed to Glouces
ter by the fisherman Fanny Bell, which
at last accounts had her forty miles off
Cape Ann.
JOHN SHERMAN’S HOME.
His Farm House at Mansfield—What the
Townsfolk Think ol film.
Mansfield, Ohio, is the home of the Hon.
John Sherman, says a correspondent of
the New York Sun. She ought to be
proud of her illustrious citizen, but she
isn’t. This city has leen his home for
forty-four years, and yet a stranger could
spead a week here and not once hear the
■nroi-a cOhorm a n” pronounced, save by
accident. The people here do not disown
him; neither do they boast of him. He
has been thirty years in public life, and
has outgrown his townspeople.
Walking on the principal street of the
town, a mile from the Court House, the
writer paused before the finest place on
the thoroughfare. A passer-by said, in re
sponse to inquiry, that it was the home of
John Sherman, as indifferently as he
might have pointed out the residence of
John Smith. The house is a large, square
brick, with a Mansard roof. It stands
100 yards from the street, is painted a
sickly straw color, has green blinds, and
is surrounded by large trees. It is a farm
house, and there are many out-buildings.
An awkward sort of a boy, loitering about
the gate, said tramps never stopped there
because they “never got nothin’,” al
though you would naturally suppose they
would be repelled by the excessively dig
nified appearance of the straw-colored
house.
“We don’t know much about Mr. Sher
man round here,” said a Mansfielder.
“He comes home during the summer,
stays awhile, and then goes away. He
has’dropped out of home society, and is
not what you would call popular. Our
people have a notion he is a very cold and
unsociable man, and don’t crowd them
selves on him at all. While he is here he
doesn’t put on any style, walking down
town and knocking round the farm as if
it was his business. Mrs. Sherman is the
biggest man of the two at home. She is
quite popular, and she takes a conspicu
ous part in church matters. The Sher
mans are Episcopalians. Sbe was a
Stewart, daughter of ex-Lieut.-Gov. Stew
art, one of the wealthiest men in the
county. Mrs. Sherman was born here in
town. The Sherman boys were raised in
this neighborhood, but were poor. When
John fell in love with Miss Stewart the
old Governor objected, and the then
young lawyer had quite a fight on his
hands before he won the case. lie was an
awful lean, lank chap at that time, with
no money and no practice.”
“Have the Shermans any children?”
“None of their own. They have an
adopted daughter, about 15 years old, who
will inherit the property.”
“Is Sherman rich?”
“He is pretty well fixed. You know be
has some fine property in Washington.
He owns this place, another good farm
up the road there, also the Stewart larm,
and a number of nice town lots. He is
the principal stockholder of the national
bank here, and, l think, owns stock in a
’"‘Cleveland bank. Ho has some Fort
Wayne Railroad stock, and is a director
in that company. He is supposed to be
worth three hundred or four hundred
thousand dollars. He is a very economi
cal man, and likes to save money.”
MORMON IB VI IN INDIANA.
Experience of Two of Brigham Young’s
and Joe Smith'# Emissaries.
A gentleman who arrived in Jefferson
ville this morning from a trip through
Washington and Scott counties, Indiana,
says a Louisville special of the 7th inst.
to the Nashville World, told a reporter a
very interesting story about the opera
tions ot the Mormons in that section of
the country. It appears that a couple of
Elders fiom Utah have been traveling
through those counties preaching their
foul doctrines wherever they could se
cure a room or school house to talk in and
an audience to listen to them,
in most places the people
would have nothing to do with
the Mormon emissaries, and they gen
erally found it a matter of some difficulty
to get a place to preach in. They got off
tbe J. M. & I. train some days ago at
Scottsburg, Scott county, but when it was
known these false prophets from Utah
were in town, they received a short no
tice to leave, having the alternative to
leave naturally or have a committee of
citizens assist their movements. They
stepped out and went to Oxford, a
small backwoods hamlet. The people
there didn’t catch on to the charac
ters of the new eomers and allowed them
to preach for two nights. Tbe mission
aries next struck out for Little York,
Washington county. Now, Little York
is said to be a very tough town, but they
don’t hanker much after Mormonism and
polygamy. One of the elders mounted a
box in front of a grocery store and pro
ceeded to expound the cardinal doctrine
of Brigham Young and Joe Smith, but be
fore he had proceeded very far a
stalwart ruralist kicked the box from
under the preacher’s leet and left
him sprawling. A crowd of forty
or fifty angry villagers then accom
panied’ the Mormons to the town limits to
see that thev get a good start. At New
Philadelphia’ the missionaries asked per
mission to Dreach in the school house, but
tbe trustees refused. Thev then visited
Harriston; and here, it is said, they made
three converts, from an ignorant family
recently from Tennessee. This is the last
beard of them. The people out in that
part of the State are considerably stirred
up, and want Mormon emissaries to un
derstand that that country is a good one
to get out ol as quick as they can,
A WESTERN ROMANCE.
How Chicago Cheek Won a Bride from
Rural Devotion.
The tragedies of these new lands come
to the knowledge of the public, the ro
mances hardly ever do. A cowboy’s jam
boree is telegraphed all over the land, hut
many a chapter in real life which would
grace the pages ot a novel remains un
told. A youDg fellow disappears trom his
ranch, is absent a few weeks, reappears
with a bride whom he has captured ala
Lochnivar, settles down to work, and Mrs.
Grundy is none the wiser.
Some fifteen years ago Katie W alsworth,
says a Jamestown, t)ak., letter to the
Philadelphia Press, was a school teacher
in a New York country town, of whom
William Emerson, a well-to-do young far
mer in the same vicinity, became enam
ored. She reciprocated his sentiments
and thev became engaged. In anticipa
tian of the happy day when she would as
sume joint partnership in the dairy farm,
she visited her brother,wbo was a farmer
in Illinois, determined to become well
versed in the detail of dairy
work, a knowledge of which is so
necessarv to the presiding genius of
the New York farm house. While visiting
this brother she met young farmer No. 2,
by name Samuel Hull, the reputed posses
sor of many acres of rolling prairie. He
laid siege to her heart, but the school
ma’am was coy and loth to leave the old
love for the new. But when the Illinois
lover had pointed out farm after farm,
whose broad acres be claimed to hold in
‘•fee simple,” his case progressed with
wonderful rapidity, and in three months
she returned to New York wearing the
betrothal ring of the Western farmer and
ready to return to the dairy farmer his
plighted troth.
The scene which ensued has been kept
sacred, hut the result was that in the fu
ture they were to he as old friends; fur
thermore, the New Yorker stipulated that
throughout her whole life, either married
or not, they were to correspond, exchang
ing at least one letter per month, and if
ever trouble hovered over her pathway
the old lover was to be informed of the
fact, binding himself to risk purse and
life to aid her.
Siie married the AVestern lover to
find that barns and broad acres had
melted away with astonishing rapidity,
and e’er the honeymoon was fairly over
the bonanza farmer undisguised assumed
the proportions of a Chicago salesman.
Twelve years passed, during which the
schoolma’m supported herself and most
of the time her husband by teaching.
Everv month she received a letter from
her ex-lover, which she dutifully read to
her husband, who enjoyed the correspond
ence rather more than did bis wife. One
of the letters told how the dairyman had
solaced himself by leading to the altar one
of Eve’s fair daughters, who wasn’t a
school-mistress, Other letters told of con
tinued success, many bringing with them
the best wishes of the writer’s wife,
with often a bank note to keep the wolt
away.
About two years ago the Illinois hus
band and wife came to Dakota and located
a claim some twelve miles south of the
city of Jamestown. Early last fall The
old’ lover appeared upon the scene. He
was rich, traveling through the West,
and stopped in Jamestown and determin
ed to visit bis old flame. He arrived at
their “shack” just in time to close the
eyes of the ex-Chicago drummer, and re
mained long enough to comfort the widow
and to assist in consigning the remains of
bis successful rival to tbe dust. Return
ing East, he arrived just in the “nick of
time” to see his own wife buried.
The last chapter closed a few days ago,
when the old lovers appeared before a
local preacher and were married, board
ing the Eastern bound train en route for
the dairy farm in New York.
TROUSERS FOR WOMEN.
Ladies in Philadelphia Appearing In
New Costumes.
A well-dressed woman went into a fash
ionable Chestnut-street clothing house on
Friday, says a Philadelphia special to the
New Fork Times , and asked to be mea
sured for a pair of trousers. After she
had been served an attendant said to a re
porter: “AA r e Anake men’s suits for ladies
right along. I don’t know what this par
ticular lady wanted with men’s clothing,
for we never ask, unless they choose to
tell us. AVe make a good many full suits.
This pair of trousers is for a very pretty
little lady, who looks so petite that you
would never suppose, to look at her, she
would require so large a size. She Is hav
ing three suits made. One is a knock
around suit, with a single-breasted sack;
another is a full-buttoned blue frock, with
fancy lining, and the other suit hasknick
erbocker breeches, and is a very neat tit.
We think nothing of it. We make all of
Anna Dickinson's trousers.”
“Really? AVhat in the world does Miss
Dickinson want with trousers?”
“Can’t tell, only she has them. May be
thev are for riding—mav l>e for indoor
wear. We are in the habit of making all
her trousers, anyhow. AVhy, women folks
say that trousers are a great deal more
comfortable, and those we make for them
have always been very successful in fit
ting.”
From other sources it was learned that
while men’s trousers are not likely to be
adopted by any ladies in Philadelphia for
out-of-door wear, there is a tendency on
the part of some of the ladies in that city,
who are recognized as fashionable ladies,
to have their spring street costumes this
year more comfortable and simple, and in
some respects resembling men’s dress. A
prominent firm of tailors are making a
good many coats for ladies that are almost
similar to coats made for men. A num
ber of ladies have already appeared on
the street with men’s vests, showing shirt
fronts and neckties.
A TOI'GH PRACTICAL. JOKE
Which “The Man About Town” in the
New York “Star” Tells to His Headers.
A noted wag, who has become famous
as much through his quaint sayings and
original practical jokes as by his excel
lent work as a journalist and writer of
romances, was standing the other day be
fore the Brooklyn court house in a group of
newspaper men. There were three of
them smoking. The conversation was in
teresting, but was broken in upon by sev
eral passers-by successively asking a
light for their "cigars. “This is a nuis
ance,” said our romancer. “It’s all very
well to be polite; but I object to standing
in the street as a cigar-lighter for all ol
Talmage’s congregation.”
Tbe gang agreed with him.
“I’ve got a good idea,” said be, as by a
sudden inspiration. “Refuse a light' to
the next man who comes along.”
“Good idea!” said the three smokers.
They waited for the next man. He came
shortly—a highly respectable, suave, mid
dle-aged gentlemau. lie addressed one of
the smokers in a carefully modulated tone
of emollient politeness: “AVill you oblige
me with a light, sir?”
“I will not,” replied the smoker, with a
wink at his companions.
“Pardon. I think you misunderstood
me,” said the gentleman, taken all aback
by this unexpected reply. “1 simply
asked you to give me a light’”
“And I simply answered I wouldn’t,”
said the smoker.
Then the cruel wag who had put up the
job, to the horror of his victimized com
panions, stepped forward, and, politely
tendering his cigar to the gentleman,
said:
“Don't mind that little loafer, sir. He
doesn’t know any better. I'll give you a
light.”
The gentleman accepted, tendered very
strongly accented thanks, and departed.

joker’s trick is the question that agitates

to me for decision, but it’s a fine point,

Money That Dustmen Earn.
London Truth .
The French papers } by the way, pub
lish a curious statistical table, one’ of the
most striking items of which seems to me
the gains of the dustmen. Your lucky
dustman makes from £IOO to £l5O a year,
which is pretty well, considering that his
education for his special trade is of an in
expensive kind, and that he is not obliged
to keep up an appearance—in the daytime
at least. Even the carriage he drives is
is not at his own expense. These gains
are partly accounted for by the annual
sales of refuse articles found in the gutters
and bins. The sale of these offscourings
of social and domestic use realizes the
prodigious annual figure of £1,840,000.
This is divided among the scavengers. I
should like to know what our dustmen
earn. They are rather fonder of picking
my pocket than picking up problematical
treasures, or, in lact, anything else out of
my dustbin. I may write and I may
storm through many a liot summer’s day,
but the cook still looks out, and “she
only saith, he eometh not.” Perhaps in
Paris the prospect of picking £1,840,000
out of the unsavory mass makes-the dust
men more regular m their attention.
