About this tim - of the year the early
bird begins to catch the early worm, and

So far O’Donovan Ilossa has not claim
ed to be the instigator of the troubles in
Cincinnati. That city has been spared
one great humiliation.
The -tate of Alabama has recovered
sll ,283 (nit of the property of the abscond

The “soul of Ananias goes a-march-'

The Boston cat congress has been

Mr. Sargent was probably very much
gratified that Prince Bismarck’s birthday

A lady was run over and killed by a
beer wagon in Washington City Saturday
evening, and just for that the people want
to have beer wagons prohibited from fast
driving when going round street corners.
Gas has been successfully manufac
tured from sawdust in Canada. Dezronto,
a lumbering town, is now illuminated
with this gas, and a material heretofore
considered worthless is utilized. The
light obtained is said to be equal to that
from the best coal gas.
If the advocates of Tilden really want
to get tin a first-class boom for the “old
ticket” let them get the Republican Con
vention to nominate Hayes and Wheeler.
That is the kind of racket that would
rouse the people and make the fraud
issue a living one.
The Republican conventions for this
Congressional district had a lively time
at Brunswick yesterday. The influence
ot Chatham was somewhat prominent.
It takes a pretty good county to furnish
two delegations and run two conventions
in the interests of the grand old party.
The accounts of the acrobatic feats of
ex-President Tilden are very interesting
reading, but bis boomers will have to
make him turn a double somersault
and jump up and crack his liccls together
three times before he will be considered
strong enough to make a walk-over at
Chicago.
The attempt to bring about a meeting
between Geu. Grant and Candidate Blaine
at a dinner party in Washington Monday
signally failed. The General is too old a
rat to be taken by means of any* ordinary
bait. He has not forgotten the drubbing
he got at u hicago foifr years ago by a
good deal.
The New York Cab Company put it;
first installment of twenty-five bright yel
low one-horse coupes on various routes in
that city Monday. A uniform fare ot 25
ceuts for each mile or fraction of a mile
is to lie charged. The project is warmly
indorsed by the press of the city, and ex
tortionate hack fares are exjieetcd to lie
among the things of the past when the
new company gets well under way.
It appears that M. Shepira already has
a rival in tlie person of Bishop Bryennuis,
Metropolitan of Nicomedia, who claims
to have discovered an ancient manuscript
of the second century ot the Christian
era, called the “Teachings of the Twelve
Apostles.” A translation of the roll lias
already been published in this country,
and the discussion as to its genuineness
is to l>e opened by Dr. Harris, of Johns
Hopkins University, at any early day.
A partially esteemed ltepublioan
contemporary, the Philadelphia Press,
says ‘‘Stephen W. l>orsey should be per
mitted to testify before the Springer com
mittee if he wants to. The right of con
fession and repentance is free to every
man in this country.” That’s all very
well, but suppose all the rascals under
Republican rule were to take it into their
heads and hearts to confess and repent.
The constitution would have to be amend
ed so as to make Congress large enough
to supply sub-committees to attend to the
matter.
An outrage occurred in Paterson, X. J.,
one night last week which will serve to
teach young men that it is unsafe as well
as impolite to leave young ladies at the
gate when they escort them home from
church or any place of amusement. Miss
Alice Jaqucs was escorted home from
church by a young gentleman, who parted
with her at the gate. Before she reached
the house a man sprang from behind a
tree and, pointing a revolver at her, de
manded her money. She fainted, and
when she recovered consciousness found
that her assailant had taken the necklace
from her neck and escaped. Boys, never
leave a girl at the gate—unless you are
really afraid to run the risk of facing her
stern parent at the door.
The strike of the operatives of some of
the Fall River mills have continued
nearly eight weeks, and there seems to be
very little prospect for an early under
standing between the strikers and their
employes. At some of the mills pickets
are stationed by the strikers to spot
every one that dares to go to work. This
means of intimidation is said to be very
effectual, ns many of those who wish to
return to the mills feel that their lives
would be in danger were they to do so.
The strikers have had the sympathy of
the town people in a large measure, but
are losing it since the death of a non
striker, who was severely beaten by
them. The storekeepers are compelled
to manifest friendship for the strikers for
fear of being boycotted.
Since the death of Solicitor Raynor, of
the Treasury aud the appointment of ex-
Cougrescinau Burroughs to till the va
cancy, a good deal of surprise has been
evinced because the appointment was not
given by the#resident to Mr. Robinson,
who has for years been the real Solicitor,
and without whom it would be all but
impossible for any one to make a success
ful administration of the office. It is
now remembered that Robinson was a
member of the committee appointed sev
eral years ago to investigate charges
against one Chester A. Arthur, then Col
lector of the Port ot New York, and that
the investigation resulted in a request by
the Secretary of the Treasury for Arthur’s
resignation. It may be possible that Pres
ident Arthur’s memory has not failed him
on that subject, and hence the civil ser
vice reform idea was laid aside in this in
stance.
A Proposition to Overhaul the Con
stitution.
A few public men think that the proper
way to bring about reforms is by means
of commissions. The Forty-seventh Con
gress provided for the appointment of a
commission to report a plan for reform
ing the taritr. The commission did its
work very well, but Congress declined to
adopt its recommendations. Representa
tive SlcCoid, of-lowa, has prepared a
joint resolution authorizing the Presi
dent to appoint a commission, composed
of two members, of different parties, from
each State, to consider and propose to
the States the propriety of ealline a con
vention to suggest proper amendments to
be made to the constitution. The com
mission. according to Mr. McCoid's idea,
should not sit longer than thirty days,
and the convention should be called to
meet not later than July 4. IssT. There
does not appear to be any particular
merit in this plan. t}uite a number of
amendments to the constitution have
been suggested, and in the course of
time some of them, perhaps, will be
adopted. These amendments relate to
the election of President and Vice Presi
dent. to woman suffrage, to the improve
ment of the civil service, to the exercise
of the veto power, and to various other
questions. But why should a commis
sion be appointed to determine whether a
convention should be called, and why
should a convention be called to map out
work for Congress? Congress can call a
convention if one is needed without the
help of a commission and can adopt
amendments to the constitution to l>e
submitted to the States for ratification
without the help of a convention. It is
not probable that a convention would l>e
composed of abler men than are to lie
found in Congress, or that its recom
mendations would have any particular
weight with Congress. While it is true
that the marvelous growth of the
country in wealth and population
tia3 called into existence inter
ests which appear to demand changes
in the constitution this demand is not so
imperative as to require hasty action.
When the demand becomes pressing Con
gress will doubtless act. in the mean
time the amendments that have been pro
posed are being discussed and considered
i by the press, the people and Congress.
When public sentiment approves an
amendment Congress will be quick to
. adopt it. The amendments that are pend
i ing before Congress now may not lie acted
I on this year or next, or, for that matter,
■ for half a dozen years, but they are being
i constantly brought before the people in
J one way and another. The people will
j eventually make up their minds in regard
1 to them. Congress does not appear to
think that the scope of its powers needs
: enlarging at present. It does about wliat
' ever it pleases, whether authorized by- the
constitution or not. It no longer looks to
the constitution for authority for its acts,
j It assumes that it is authorized to do
whatever it is not prohibited from doing.
As long as this interpretation of the con
| stitution prevails there will be very few
i constitutional amendments adopted.
Tilden ami Payne Out of the Race.
Tilden and Payne have been beard from
again, and again it is announced that
thev are not and will not be Presidential
candidates. A correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun had a talk with Mr. Tilden
last Monday, and Mr. Tilden told him that
be did not want the nomination and could
not take it. On the same day the proprie
tor of the Kansas City Times telegraphed
his paper that he was authorized by Col.
Oliver Payne to say that his
father, Henry B. Payne, would
under no circumstances accept
a Presidential nomination. Tilden and
Payne may as well le considered as out
of the list of Presidential candidates.
They have said more than once that they
could not accept the nomination if
tendered to them, and it is only just that
they should be allowed to settle the mat
ter for themselves. It is certainly time
taat the newspapers and politicians
should stop annoying these old gentle
men. The nomination has never been
ottered to them, and it Js not cer
tain that it would have been
if they had not announced their determi
nation not to accept it; but, as they have
been kind enough to express themselves
frankly with regard to it, they ought to
l>e taken at their word. The nomination
will not have to go begging. There are
plenty of good men who want it. The
newspapers which have been “booming”
Tilden and Payne are deserving of sym
pathy, of course, because they have only
their trouble lor their pains, but their ex
perience will teach them not to be so rash
in the future.
libuian-k’s Retirement.
Bismarck, it seems, has determined to
retire from the Prussian Ministry’. The
Emperor William has consented to his
retirement. There appears to lye a con
flict of o)iin ion as to the cause ol this act
on his part. One account says that it is
due to the fact that he finds himself op
posed by all the other Ministers. Another,
however,says that he desires to devote more
of his time to the affairs of the Empire. It
is not improbable that his policy is no
longer deemed to be the best for the inter
ests of tlie German Empire. He doubtless
still has the confidence of the Emperor.
He was 6ft years old on tlie Ist of April,
and on that occasion the Emperor showed
him marked evidences of bis good
will and confidence. Bismarck
has had a very remarkable
career. For almost a quarter of a century
lie has been a very prominent figure in
European polities. In September, 1862,
he succeeded, provisionally, Prince
Hohenzollern as Prime Minister, and, on
the Bth of October following he was
recognized as the head of the administra
tion. His fame very soon passed beyond
the hounds of his own country. His vic
tories in diplomacy quickly placed him in
the front rank of European statesmen.
Germany owes her present greatness
largely to him. It is a question with
many of Germany’s leading statesmen,
however, whether his usefulness is not
about at an end. His masterful way r of
directing affairs will doubtless be missed,
but his retirement probably will not be
generally regretted.
Conkling's Purposes,
in political circles in New York it is
doubted that -Mr. Conkling has perma
nently retired from politics. It is bc
lieved that be is only waiting for an
opportunity to show that he is still a
leader and a boss in the Republican
camp. A day or two ago there was pub
lished a long interview in a New' York
paper with Congressman Beliord, who
undertook to explain the relations which
existed between Garfield and Conkling
immediately after Garfield’s election to
the Presidency, and to show that there
was a deliberate purpose on the part of
Garfield aud Blaine to crowd Conkling
out ot politics. In this interview Conk
ling is represented as a forbearing and
patriotic statesman,who at that time was
solicitious about nothing so much as
the good ot his party and the welfare ot
the country. It is alleged that this inter
views-was not published without Conk
ling’s knowledge and approval. It is the
talk in New York that should Blaine be
pushed for the-Presidential nomination of
his party Conkling would drop the law for
the time being and apply himself to the
task of defeating his aspirations. Neither
Conkling nor Grant have any good will
for Blaine, and they are understood to be
watching the course ol events with the
view of making their influence felt against
him if he should become a strong candi
date for the Chicago nomination. If
Conkling is rightly understood he does
not mean to get so tar out of politics as
not to be able to defeat Blaine's ambi
tious schemes.
It is very evident that a good many
thousand barrels of w hisky will be ex
ported to avoid the payment of the in
ternal revenue taxes. Right here the
Irish terrorists may obtain a cue. It will
lie almost impossible now for them to ship
infernal machines from this country to
England. Average American whisky is
ten times more destructive than dyna
mite. The English officials will gladly
admit the whisky. Let a barrel be kept
on tap in every railway station in Eng
land. The skirmishing fund may thus be
made effective,
How the Gallows was Cheated in
- Cincinnati,
In reviewing the riot the Cin
cinnati papers indulge in a little irony.
They congratulate the people that the
forty murderers in the jail were protected
from all barm although fifty citizens were
killed, one hundred and fifty wounded,
and hundred of thousands of dollars worth
of property destroyed. They ask with some
bitterness whether these murderers were
not protected at too great a sacrifice. The
mob on Friday and Saturday nights had
no object in view other than the lynching
of the forty murderers. It was not until
Sunday that the dangerous element made
its appearance. There was half a mil
lion dollars in the safe of the Coun
ty Treasurer which -was in the
burned court house. There were several
millions of dollars in the Sub-Treasury
not far from the court house. There was
no attempt made to get any of this money.
The dominant, and, in fact, the only idea
of the mob w as to get at the murderers.
So many murderers haTt escaped the
gallows that there seemed to be a deter
mination to give the forty in the jail a taste
of lynch law. The majority of the people
of the city probably sympathized with the
purpose of the mob. While condemning
violence, they would baye rejoiced if the
attempt at lynching had succeeded. The
w T ay the criminal law’s were administered
had become a scandal. the
Ohio Congressmen says “he is not at all -
surprised at the upheaval In Cincinnati,
and wonders that trouble has been so
long deferred. It has been the custom of
lawyers, he says, to resort to a peculiar
method of obtaining jurors who might be
relied upon to look at something else be
sides the merits of the ease. Any man
who reads the testimony taken before a
Coroner in Ohio becomes thereby inelig
ible as a juror upon the trial ol the case.
The lawyers procure copies of the testi
mony taken by tbe Coroner, and mail
them to the men whose names are on the
jury list. They are thus enabled to present
valid objections against any man in whose
hands their client could expect nothing
but justice, and in this way Cincinnati
jurors have got into bad repute. A panel
of 1,200 was exhausted before the twelve
accommodating individuals who sat as
jurors when Berner was being tried were
obtained. Forty-two murderers have es
caped through this means/’ What a re
cord for a city like Cincinnati! It is not
U> be wondered at that the people attempt
ed to take the administration of justice
into their own hands? Is the warning
which the city has received sufficient to
effect a reform? The criminal courts
of the city will be watched with deep in
terest during the next few weeks. Mob
law is to be condemned under all circum
stances. It seldom or never results in
anything but harm. Mobs do not inaugu
rate reforms. It should not be forgotten,
however, that mob law is to be expected
when evils become too great lor society to
bear.
As gentle spring awakes the songs of
the birds and causes the flowers to spring
forth in all their beauty and fragrance,
Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood, the female
lawyer, gently drops into poetry so-called,
even in the midst of the musty volumes
of Blackstone and Coke on Littleton.
Some time ago sue was sued by one
Lebbeus Stockbridge for the sum of $847.
On Monday she filed a plea in rhyme,
which begins,
“Oh! cruel debtor, thus to sue
For money charged as overdue;”
and after setting out her defense in full in
the same style, she concludes,
“And swear this answer every whit
Is true as words of Holy Writ.”
If her defense does not contain a good
deal more truth than poetry in it she will
come out of the trial at the little end
ot the horn.
CURRENT COMMENT.
Enduring Democratic Solidity.
X. V. Timet {Rep.).
Both the attitude of the New York Inde
pendents and tlw enduring solidity of the
Democratic party require that the Republi
can party shall nominate its best man.
A l"se for Blaine's Book.
Button Advertiser {Rep.).
It is quite possible that Mr. Blaine's liook
may serve a useful purpose in the Chicago
Convention. While a committee is out and
no orator wishes to unveil his gifts some ad
mirer of Mr. Blaine may move for the read
ing of a chapter of this slowly written his
tory. It would calm the perturbed delegates
to have their thoughts thus diverted to other
Jays.
The Jury System to Blame.
Hartford Timet ( Dem.).
The pulpit will follow the press, as usual, in
pointing out the “lessou” of this lamentable
occurrence. One “lesson” conveyed by it, in
pretty loud tones, i- the added proof it brings
out, of the ill-working character of the jury
system. The art of “jury-fixing,” ill Phila
delphia, Cincinnati, and some of the smaller
towns much ucarer home here in New Eng
land, has liecome, of itself, one great argu
ment for the necessity of a change.
Want to Know tile Thief.
Philadelphia Record {lnd.).
It is evident that the statute of limitations,
cuts off actions at law. does not
obliterate the hates nor sponge out the memo
ries of meu. The testimony before the
Springer committee will not get back for the
government the money it lias lost, but we
shall all know a great deal more than w e did
about the illustrious rascals who have been
running the government and robbing the peo
ple of Hie United Stales. it is some small
comfort when your purse is gone to know the
name of the thief, even if the money is hot.
Why Censure Gov. Hoadly.
.Ye ir York Sun {lnd.).
In some quarters there appears to be a dis
position to censure Gov. Hoadly for his course
in dealing with the Cincinnati rioter)-. It is
said that the Governor was reluctant to call
out tlie militia. Whatever Gov. Hoadly did,
there is one thing which he did not do, anil
the fact will stand to his everlasting honor.
He did not call on the President of the United
■states to send Federal troops to suppress a
local riot. Ilis course in this respect is in
marked contrast with the frantic appeals for
Federal assistance made during the railroad
riots of 18TT by John F. llartranft, the Repub
lican Governor of Pennsylvania, anil John
I.ee Carroll, the Democratic Governor of
Maryland.

A convention of American inventors was

Ten men sat in an Oakland line street
car this morning. No ladies were present.
One looked out of the window at the snow

other nine men lowered their newspapers
and said in chorus: I, So ab I.” The

his knees with the skirt of his over

meeting. “Mages a mad feed lige blode

shook his head and refused to accept the
amendment, saying: “Dad would odly
mage his code worse.” The chair was
sustained, eight men voting “dad’s so.”
At the cffiirt house corner one of the dele

the solemn silence by saying: “Dab the

TIL,DEVS FRIENDS AND ENEMIES
The Sage More Afraid of His Party
Than ot the Burden of a Canvass.
The Sunday Telegram of Harrisburg,
Penn., publishes the following interview
with Samuel J. Tilden, written by C. P.
Bacon, of Elmira, a law partner of Lieu
tenant-GoYernor Hill.
After a pleasant greeting, pointing to
some forty or fifty visiting cards lying
upon the table, Mr. Tilden said: "Those
have all come this morning. My friends
do not forget me, but I cannot see all of
them. It makes me feel bad that 1 cannot
do so, but lam getting old. Mr private
business is large and constantly growing.
It takes up much of my time. 1 want to
get out, but.l cannot.” .
Alluding to Secretary Stenger’s visit,
Mr. Tilden said: “The other day a former
member of Congress from Pennsylvania,
who is now connected with Gov. Patti
son’s administration in that State, called
to see me. He is a warm political friend
of mine and I talked with him freely. In
a few days an account of his visit was
published, which was filled with many
errors. Why. be said I was weak, ema
ciated and paralyzed, that my frame was
tleshless and that the skin hung loosely
on my bones. In fact, I am nearly as
fleshy as ever I was, and weigh 127
pounds, which has been my normal weight
lor years. It is about what I weighed
when I was Governor. I never weighed
over 140 in my life.”
Speaking ot his brother Henry, who
died about two weeks ago, and who was
very dear to him, he said: “The la9t time
I saw Henry before bis death we parted
on the steps' of my house and his last
words to me were: ‘.Sam, I wish you bl
half of my strength,’ and I jokingly re
plied, ‘I may outlive you yet.’”
Mr. Bacon asked about "the Presidency.
The smile passed from his face as Mr. Til
den replied:
“I don’t know what more I can say'than
I have already said. My letter ot 1880
fully expresses my views! I was elected
in 1876, and with that lam satisfied. 1
have passed the prime of life. I may live
one year, I may live ten, but, whatever
years are in store lor me, be they few or
many, I wish to enjoy. I think I have a
right to go upon the retired list, and I
think I have a right to remain there. I
am happy with rny business, my hooks,
my farm at Greystone, my house and my
friends. I am r.ot seeking the nomina
tion. More than that, Ido not desire it,
and my name should not be discussed in
connection with the subject.”
“What if all shades of opinion in your
party, your enemies even inure strongly
than your friends, insist that you lead the
party in the coming contest and will not
take ‘No’ for an answer?”
Again the old gentleman's face showed
a shade of sadness as he replied: “That
contingency, I trust, will never arise. I
love the Democratic party. I would do
almost anything to aid in advancing its
principles, but I have made all the sacri
fices that are necessary in its behalf.”
The impression produced by the details
of the conversation with Mr. Tilden is
that he does not fear the burdens of be
coming a candidate for the Presidency
half so much as he does the burdens of
being a President. The prevailing idea
seems to be that the excitement of the
campaign would break him down; but
Mr. Tilden seems to shrink from the du
ties devolving upon a President far more
tuan he docs from those devolving upon
him a candidate. He evidently dreads
his party far more than he does his ene
mies, and hates to be placed in a position
where it would try to run him and he not
have the physical courage and strength
to hold himself aloof.
BEN BUTLER’S NERVE.
How He Saved the Lives of Hundreds
or People.
Butler would have made a duellist of
himself had lie been born in a State and
at a time when the code of honor held
good, says the Cleveland (Ohio) Leader.
But bean-eating Massachusetts never
tights duels, and Butler’s nerve has had
to be expended in other ways. A notable
instance of this occurred in 1856, when
Ben Butler was a young practitioner at
Lowell. The Buchanan campaign was in
full progress, and a great meeting was be
ing held in the largest hall of *he city.
Itufus Choate, the great lawyer, was ad
dressing the meeting, and his eloquence
had thrown tlftin into the wildest enthu
siasm, when a jar was felt and a crash
was heard. The cry went forth, “The
floor is sinking.” Every one turned pale,
and the audience rose' for a stampede,
when Ben Butler came to the front of the
platform beside Mr. Choate, and, calling
the audience to halt, said there was no
danger; that the architect of the building
was present, and that he would go with
him and examine ttyjrijuilding, and report
to allay their quieted the au
dience.
Butler and the architect made an im
mediate examination of the hall, and
found the danger very great. Butler at
once returned, and smilingly assured the
audience there was no present danger;
but, as the hall was overcrowded, be ad
vised them to quietly adjourn to the pub
lic square, and there Mr. Choate would
finish his speech. The crowd went quiet
ly out, and the catastrophe was averted.
As Sutler stepped on the platform he had
whispered to Mr. Choate with a half
laugh in order to deceive the audience.
This is wnat he said: “Mr. Choate, 1 must
clear this house or we shall all he in hell
in five minutes.”
HILARITY IN THE BLAINE CAMP.
Tlie Satisfactory Condition of the liei
portg from Pennsylvania.
A Washington dispatch says that inside
tlie Blaine catnp there exists a confidence
in his nomination that is little less than
hilarious. The last few days have brought
good news from many quarters, par
ticularly from the Northwest and some
parts of the South. From Pennsylvania
the reports are almost too good to be true.
They point to a Blaine deleu'ation by a
large majority. From New York, also,
the report is better than was expected.
One thing unlooked for is reported, name
ly, that Grant’s efforts in behalf of Logan
are displeasing to the General’s old
friends. Some of them have declared
a preference fur Blaine rather than
Logan. Grant’s hostility to Blaine is
stimulating the supporters of the ex-
Secretary to greater efforts.
Tlie Woman Who Works.
O. C. Matthews in Chicago Current.
The woman who works, strong in her
self respect, strong in the respect of all
who toil that they may live, strong in the
favor of all who have known what it is
to earn their bread by the sweat of their
brows, strong in the spirit of personal in
dependence, needs no protection from the
“pitying patronage” of anybody. If she
is at times disposed to regard any slight
put upon her by those who have
no business in life save to amuse
themselves, she may enjoy a re
venge every day, for the ravens
of misfortune fly in at all windows. And
there are, doubtless, among women who
have found it necessary to go out into the
world and battle for existence, those who
find stings in the “pitying patronage” of
the iortune-favored, and who sit back in
sack-cloth amid the ennobling inspira
tions of their work-a-day lives. To them
is commended the words of Carlyle: “All
true work is sacred; in all true work,
were it but true hand-labor,there is some
thing of divineness. ’’ Therefore, “hats
off” to the women who work! It would
lifi idle to urge them to lift up their heads,
for their heads are already uplifted.
Carlisle and the Negro Girl.
Boston Herald. •
An incident occurred the other evening
in one of the three-cent cars which go
from the capitol to the White House
which attracted no attention atlhe time,
but which, had it occurred in the days be
fore the war, would have been widely
commented upon, says a AYashington let
ter. The car was full of gentlemen and
ladies, and Speaker Carlisle was sitting
beside me lookiifg very grave and proba
bly thinking himself a great fool for
having accepted such a trying position as
Speaker of this Congress, when a young
negro girl entered the car. There was no
seat for her, and she grasped the strap,
looking vainly around fora seat. There
was none to be seen, and no one rose to
give one. At length the Speaker, coining
out of his meditation, saw her. He half
rose to give her his place, when he
changed his mind, and, crow’ding the rest
of us toward the end of the car, made
room ior her beside himself, and motioned
her to sit down. She did so. There was
no ostentation about it, and the Speaker
relapsed into his moody meditations as
soon as it was over.
A Woman of Business,
Boston Globe.
Portland, March 24.—A young Port
land man is said to have been ensnared
into matrimony-by a device which has
the charm of novelty. He is a hand
some fellow, and earns good wages at his
trade and is a favorite with the fair sex.
One of his young lady friends, who has al
ways shown an especial fondness for him,
asked him point blank in the course of a
recent Sunday evening tete-a-tete: “AA r ho
are you going to marry ?”
“You!” he said, jokingly.
“Really?”
. “Yes!”
“Shake hands on it,” the business-like
maiden demanded.
The young man did so, thinking it tho
most amusing incident he had ever borne
a part in. The young lady, however,
told her father that she and Mr. Blank
were engaged, and the young man was
immediately w’aited upon by the inter
ested parent, and has decided to marry
the girl rather than stand a threatened
suit for breach of promise.
PARIS’ FAVORITE DENTIST.
From <t Shop in Pennsylvania to the
Court of France—Evans' Lack.
ChaiTes Howard, the millionaire, of
Vermont, says the Cleveland Leader, is to
leave a million dollars to his niece, Mrs.
Evans, the wife ot the rich Parisian den
tist. Evans is already several times a
millionaire, and this will be a pretty ad
dition to kis fortune, which is increasing
at the rate of hundreds of thousands year
ly. It is generally supposed that he made
the most of his fortune in filling teeth.
But this is a mistake, as the following
talk with one of the oldest dentists in the
United States, a man who was years ago
connected with one of the'imperial courts
of Europe, will show:
“Dr. Evans,” said the gentleman, “was
born in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania,
and he started life as a jeweler’s appren
tice in Lancaster, the same town in which
Buchanan began life as a young lawyer.
He went to Paris as a dentist in a few
years.”
“When did Evans become court den
tist?”
“I do not know the time. He says, I
understand, he was filling Eugenie’s teeth
when Louis Napoleon came to his office
for some dental work, and that here the
two met, and from that meeting afterward
sprang their marriage. Napoleon owed
much to Evans in many ways. You know'
he saved the life of Eugenie one night as
she left the Grand Opera House, and an
attempt was made to assassinate Napo
leon by throwing hand grenades. He af
terward aided Eugenie in escaping to
England, and went with her in 1870. At
this time every one else had deserted the
Empress, and she fled to Dr. Evans’
house. The doctor’s wife was at the sea
shore, and Eugenie, dressed in Mrs.
Evans' clothing, was passed off by Evans
as his wife, and driven in his own car
riage to the Norman coast. Thence they
got a boat Jo England.
“Dr. Evans,” this gentleman went on,
“is worth several millions, and he has a
grand palace in Paris. Ills office prac
tice in the Itue de la Paix nets him prob
ably-$60,000 a year, but this is not how he
has made the most of his money. When
Napoleon was President of the Republic
he was quite poor. He died very wealthy,
and much of his money was made through
Evans. Napoleon knew what action was
going to be taken on public matters, and
be also knew how this would affect stocks.
If be could use his information in buying
and selling he could make large sums
easily. But it would not do for Napoleon
to be connected with a hroker. There
must be some trusty go-between, added to
a safe banker. Evans, lam told by good
authority, was the go-between, and his
position as dentist enabled birn to do
it to the best advantage. He had access
to Napoleon at all hours, and he was the
only one who could take precedence over
the Cabinet and every one else. He at
tended him at his toilet at 8 o’clock in
the morning, and was on as close terms
with Eugenie as with Louis Napoleon.
“One (lay Eugenie said to him: 4 Dr.
Evans, at 11 o'clock to-morrow an order
will be issued withdrawing the French
troops from Rome.’ Evans'at once went
to the broker and invested in certain se
curities which he kuew would he affected.
At 12 the next day, after the order was
issued, these securities went up like a shot
and Evans made $60,000. Of course, Eu
genie came in for her share of her pin
money.” •
HOSPITALITY OE THE GOLD HUG.
Hungry Visitors of Jay Gould on His
Yacht off Fernandina.
A government- official just returned
from Florida, says a Washington special
to the Baltimore Sun, tells a good story at
the expense of Jay Gould. When Mr.
Gould’s yacht was lying off Fernandina
a party df gentlemen, including several ot
the English noblemen traveling in Florida
this season, received an invitation from
him to pay a visit of inspection to his ves
sel. They were received by Mr. Gould
with much politeness* and shown all
over the yacht by him in person. The
whole party were quite profuse in com
plimenting the yacht and its appoint
ments, and all were in high spirits, ex
pecting, of course, that when the inspec
tion was concluded a collation would be
spread. But nothing was said about
lunch, and they were not even invited to
take a glass of wine or a thimbleful of
old rye, although lingering to the last
moment. The party finally left in dis
gust, and one of the British lords was in
such high dudgeon that he went off with
out saying good-bye to the Wall street
king, and afterward remarked that he was
no gentleman to act in such a manner.
He said if the owner of a yacht in Great
Britain should treat guests" in that style
he would be “cut” in all good society.'
TIGERS AS PLAYTHINGS.
They Don't Tike to he Disturbed When
Eating.
Abram Bateman, of San Francisco, has
two tiger kittens that were recently
stolen from a tigress in an abandoned
shaft of El Rocario mine, in Sonora.
They were eight weeks old, and weigh
thirty pounds apiece. Having been
petted all their lives, they are as tame
and playful as domestic kittens, and be
tray few signs of ferocitv except when
feeding, at which time they are unap
proachable. They are kept cor fined in a
cage in the back yard, but are often
brought into the parlor and turned loose
for the entertainment of guests. Then
they evince their appreciation of their
liberty by chasing each other, jumping
over furniture and scattering ladies and
children in every direction. When tired
of the play the kittens either climb to
their owner’s lap or sprawl on the sofa,
and then purr contentedly until they fall
asleep.
A Conductor’s Story.
Chicago Herald.
•‘I have been running a train tor thirty
years,” said a gray-haired conductor on
the Wabash. “I started in on the New
York Central, have been on the Lake
Shore, Pennsylvania and three C.’s, and
here 1 am on the Wabash.”
“Did you know old Vanderbilt?”
“Did 1 know him? Well, lie used to
keep a pretty close watch of everything,
I tell you, and there wasn't much going
on along the road that he didn’t know
about. One time I got myselt into a box.
At Albany they brought a corpse onto my
train, and nobody had bought a ticket for
it, according to rules. At first I refused
to carry it, but the station agent said it
belonged to some of the railroad folks,
and the charges would be paid to me in
New York. When we got to New York
nobody called for the corpse. I w’as in a
hurry to go homo, but 1 waited around for
my fare, as 1 knew I’d be held responsible
for it. Nobody came, and nobody at the
depot knew anything about it. This vexed
me a good deal, and so I made up my
mind something had to lie done. So I sent
woid over to the medical college there
was a ‘stiff’ at the Central depot for sale.
A doctor came right over, and I sold him
the body for just enough to pay the
charges, entered that fact on my report,
and went home. Next morning’l beard
the body was that of a relative of old Van
derbilt himself. And I had gone and sold
it to a medical college! Well, I went
straight to the eld man’s office to get my
discharge. I knew my time had come.
But, would you believe it, I wasn’t
bounced. The old man took it very cool.”
“What did he say?”
“He said he had got the body back all
right, and had inquired, into ail the cir
cumstances. Then he raised my wages a
hundred dollars a year.”
Ilow to Secure Customers.
Detroit Free Press.
“That man will hereafter be a good
customer of mine,” said the saloon-keeper
as a business looking man went out of
the saloon as if he had a pressing engage
ment.
“Who is he?”
“I don’t know. Never saw him before.”
“What makes you think he will ever
come in here again?”
“Because I gave him a plugged half
dollar in change. The tirst time he tries
to pass it it will be rejected. Then he
will come back here to exchange it for
another onMp I’ll beg his pardon, say
something about getting stuck with them
once in a while when there is a rush of
business, ask him to take a drink, chat
with him while he crooks his elbow, tell
him a funny story, aud he’ll go away
thinking I am an awful nice fellow. After
that he’ll never go by without coming in.
I’ve made hall a dozen good customers
with that half dollar already. There’s
tricks in all trades but our's, Many's
the more of these fellows that man will
give me.”
As he spoke he pulled open the money
drawer and took therefrom the bill the
stranger had given him. He looked at it
closely, admiringly, doubtingly, and then
with undisguised disgust.
“No, boys, I’m wrong. He’ll never bring
that half dollar back. The bill is bogus!”
The Telephone Fifty Years Ago.
Springfield [Mast.) I'nion.
A little more than fifty years ago the
employes of the Arms Shoe Manufactory,
at South Deerfield, beguiled tbeir leisure
hours by kite-llying. Kites large and
small were sent up daily and the strife
was to see who would get the largest.
The twine which held them was the shoe
thread spun and twisted by the ladies of
the village. One day to the tail of the
largest kite was attached a kitten, sewed
in a canvas bag with a uetting over the
mouth to give it air. When the kite was
at its greatest height—some 200 feet or
more—the mewing of the kitten could be
distinctly heard by those holding the
string. To the clearness of the atmos
phere was attributed the hearing of the
kitten’s voice, and no telephonic patent
was applied for.
