The enthusiasm that culminated in the
nomination of Claim.* already shows signs
of being on the wane.
The motto of the white man's Republi

The word ‘-financier'’ is getting into

Blaine might cheer up Gen. Swaim a
little by promising to bestow on him the
mantle of the distinguished dude, Ben

Col. Ingersoll has volunteered as coun

fending a man who has such a delightfully
villainous record.
The New* York Situ lias already lioomed
no less than a half dozen Presidential
candidates this year. The Sun is getting
to be as inconstant as the moon.
Ex-President Tildcn will go down the
ages as the greatest man in some respects
that was ever elected to the highest office
in the gift of the American people.
Gen. Grant has not yet telegraphed to
Biaine to “use tnv name and influence for
att they are worth.” Perhaps, however,
these once useful articles are still in the
hands of the receiver.
Mr. Blaine ha* been enjoying the buz
zing of the Presidential l*eo for a long
time, but he feel* considerably irritated
just now. The Independents have put a
large sized flea iu his ear.
A strong ground of opposition to Blaine
is the fear that, if he should be elected,
Gail Hamilton will get to writing disser
tations mi government and national af
fairs. Verily, the country is in peril.
Gen. Logan lias not yet perfected a
scheme to give every Republican voter
forty acres of land and a mule. He had
better hurry in a bill to that effect if he
ever expects to preside over the Senate.
The California bummers who went Last

It seems that District Attorney Emory
Speer will commend his wisdom by with
holding his congratulatory telegrams until
after the Presidential election. It is
feared that Gen. Longs tract was altogether
too previous.
Since MonsignorCapel has temporarily
quit converting wealthy females, and
begun to devote himself to the saving of
male sinners, it is to be hoped be will not
forget that Dorsey, Brewster and Col. In
gersoll are yet out of Jhe fold.
The plumed knights and tattooed tigers
and Mulligan Guards are organizing
all over the country, but if they don’t
make a latter record in the campaign
than Blaine’s substitute did in the war,
they will never be worthy of a pension.
Kansas City and Memphis are carrying
on a regular flirtation. They call it
“tightening the bonds of trade between
the two cities.” A lot of Memphis busi
ness men are now being fed and “watered
by the Board of Trade of the Missouri
town.
Although Spain is hardly able to pay
for the food and raiment of the royal
familv, she proposes to build one of the
largest iron-eiad ships in the world. She
will not, however, let the contract to John
Roach A Son, or to Ship-yard Agent
Chandler.
Perhaps Secretary Chandler will agree
to manaire the purchasing department of
the campaign if Blaine will promise to let
him retain the navy portfolio for the next
four Tears. Without Chandler or Dorsey
and plenty of cash the Republicans can
hare no hope whatever of success.
The Young Republican Club, of Brook
lyn, is somewhat perplexed on account of
Blaine’s nomination. It proposes to in
vestigate the charges made by prominent
Republican papers against him, and if the
result is not satisfactory the members of
the club will not support him.
Nobody appears to be running for the
Governorship of our “noble old common
wealth." Gov. McDaniel will have a
walk over, and so win the race without
opposition, unless the ghost of the Repub
lican party should materialize and put a
quasi candidate on the track.
Gen. Butler has been officially notified
of the Greenback nomination, and he will
haw bis letter on the subject telegraphed
all over the country Monday next. It
takes a man of even Gen. Butler's bril
liancy three or four days to fix up a docu
ment that that will put him squarely in
line with four or fire conflicting parties
at the same lime.
The overseers of Harvard University
are considering the propriety of discon
tinuing the custom *f conferring the de

be entitled to no higher degree than d—d.
Reform in Cincinnati appears to have
been very short-lived, although so dearly
bought. That city is having another
festival of crime. The programme opened
Saturday night with a premeditated mur
der. On Sunday night it had an attempt
at murder and a suicide, and on Monday
night a horrible double murder. It’s about
time for Cincinnati to muster in its mob
•gain.
There is one good sign in reference to
the bolting Independent Re-publicans.
They don’t seem disposed to impose any
Greeley business on the Democratic party
this year, but show a willingness to let us
go ahead and make our own ticket.
If they don’t like our nominee they won’t
vote- for him. That is all that ean rea
sonably be asked of them. If a Demo
cratic victory is to be won it must be
done with Democratic votes.
The Democratic Aldermen in New York
are In trouble. The National Democratic
Convention, which they are very desirous
to attend, meets on the Bth of July, while
the members of the City Council of New
York are required under heavy penalties
to begin to receive the tax rolls of the
city on the first Monday In July. It looks
Mke the convention will have to struggle
along without the valuable presence of
the Democratic Aldermen of New Mork.
Bayard and Cleveland,
Democrats of local and national promi
nence are expressing their opinion pretty
freely respecting the merits of the various
candidates for the Democratic Presiden
tial nomination. Fitness and availability
are the qualities that are discussed. Bay
ard appears to be* the favorite of those who
think that the party should adopt a plat
form which declares squarely, without
any reservations or concessions whatever,
lor the principles which the party has
been advocating for years, and nomi
nate men whose reputations and records
are without a blot or a stain. Cleveland
appears to be the favorite of those who
want a sound platform and clean candi
dates, hut who think availability should
be considered above everything else.
With them the first question is, who can
carry New* York ? and. naturally, they
look, to New York politicians to an
swer that question. Of course, New York
men favor a New Y'ork candidate. But
in giving so much attention to availabili
ty is there not danger of making a very
grave mistake? Is it so certain that New
York can furnish the strongest candidate?
The necessity for carrying New Y'ork is
admitted. But there may be reasons why
a candidate from another State would
stand a better chance of carrying it
than a home candidate would. ‘From time
immemorial there Lave been faction fights
in the Democratic party there. It has
been said that Cleveland cannot carry the
State because he has incurred the hostili
ty of Tammany by some of his acts as
Governor. This may tie only idle talk,
but it is sufficient to justify tbe
party, at a time like this, when so much
depends upon making no mistakes, in
aeting calmly and carefully, and in ac
cepting nothing as settled except upon
tbe most complete evidence. We have
not a word to say against Cleveland. He
has not a large sxperience in public af
fairs, but he has made an admirable Gov
ernor. Ilis effort has been to raise the
standards of his party, and to purify the
State Government. Reforms have found
biin an earnest friend.
But if there is a doubt whether Cleve
land can carry New Y'ork, there is none
that Bayard can, provided any Democrat
can carry it. YVhat the Democratic party
wants—what the great mass of the people
wants—is an honest gentleman and
statesman at the head of the nation. The
pencil of the cartoouistcan find nothing in
Bayard’s record which can be used to his
disadvantage. His twenty years of pub
lic service will bear exposure to the sun
light of 1 ruth. Men of the opposite party,
who want a safe, honest and economical
administration of the government, would
vote for him. All New Yorkers, who would
vote for a New Y'ork candidate, would
vote for him; and many others, perhaps,
who, for various reasons, would not vote
for a New York candidate, nis Dover
B|>eeeh, it is thought by some, would hurt
him in tbe West, where there is a very
strong ex-soldier sentiment. He does not
think so, and some of the wisest men ot
his party do not think so. The truth is,
a very erroneous idea respecting the
speech prevails. To correct that idea his
friends are spreading the speech broad
cast over the country. Let the conven
tion be careful not to be led by a few self
seeking politicians. Let it choose, after
viewing tbe whole field, the man who
seems to come nearest to satisfying the
conscience and common sense of the peo
ple, and victory is certain.
Checking a Nuisance.
There ought to lie no objection to Sena
tor Y'est’s amendment to tbe legislative
appropriation bill that no undelivered
speech shall lie published in the Congres
sional Record at public expense. Mem
ber* have fallen into the habit of doing a
good deal of their electioneering at the
expense of the Treasury. On important
measures long speeches appear in the
Jit cord which have not been deliv
ered. The members who have the
credit of having delivered these speeches
frank them to their constituents by the
hundred. They achieve a reputation at
home which they do not deserve. There
is a very general impression at Washing
ton that many of these undelivered
speeches are not written by the members
who claim them. Not long ago a most
remarkable specimen ol the untamed
style of oratory, in the shape of a
eulogy, appeared in the Record .
When its leading leatures were set forth
in the newspapers the country was con
vulsed with laughter. In sell-defense, the
member who was responsible for it—a
very worthy gentleman—acknowledged
that he did not write it. Ilis story was
that a woman wrote it and gave it to him
for iuseition in the Record. In the Forty
seventh Congress a member obtained
leave to print a speech in a contested
election case and used the privilege to pub
lish his views of Napoleon’s campaigns
wi’h accompanying explanatory maps.
The cost was something enormous. Tbe
expense of publishing undelivered
speeches amounts to hundreds of thous
ands of dollars annually. Senator Vest
doesn’t print any undelivered speeches.
He likes to hear the sound of his own
voice too well. The good talkers seldom
or never ask leave to print. The amend
ment is aimed at those who haven’t the
gdt of gab. It is, however, a good amend
ment. There ought to be another—put
ting a check on those who talk too much.
An Irrevocable Decision.
Notwithstanding Mr. Tilden’s letter
there are here and there a few politicians
who pretoad to believe that he will ac
cept the Presidential nomination of his
partv if it is unanimously tendered to
him. Some of these few, perhaps, ques
tion Mr. Tilden’s sincerity, but the ma
jority doubtless think that he would feel
bound to respond favorably to the unani
mous call of the nominating convention.
There is no doubt that Mr. Tilden’s letter
settled the question of his candidacy, and
that be intended that it should settle it.
He states his reasons why he cannot
accept the nomination, and they are sat
isfactory. The New York Sun, in com
menting on the letter, calls attention to
the fact that Mr. Tilden telegraphed to
the Chairman of the New York delega
tion, at Cincinnati, in 191J0, a message,
supplementary to his letter of declination,
to the following effect: “No friends must
be allowed to cast a doubt on my motives
or my sincerity.” There was probably
no occasion for such a message at
that time, and there is certainly less occa
sion now. There is no good reason for
doubting Mr. Tilden’s motives or his sin
cerity. He is out of politics forever. His
political career is ended. Those who still
attempt to direct the attention of the party
to him are doing what they can to injure
It by introducing uncertainty and inde
cision in its counsels. It is a gratifying
fact, however, that their influence doesn’t
count for much. *
Those Republicans who veuerate the
memory of ‘*ol4 John Brown,” may recall
the “persecutions” he suffered by turning
to the journal* ot the Thirty-sixth Con
gress. One John A. Logan, a Congress
man from Illinois, In speeches made in
that body, denounced John Brown as “a
traitor, a thief, and a scoundrel.” He
alluded to the “contaminating touch of
abolitionism,” and declared that Abraham
Lincoln ’* speeches against the extension of
slavery contained a “monstrous doctrine.”
These speeches of lagan’s will be especi
ally interesting to the “brother in black”
who it now such an ardent worshiper ol
the tail end of the tattooed ticket.
The Kaudall boom has temporarily re
tired to try to scotch the revenue reform
ers in Pennsylvania. In case it succeeds
it may be heard from again in a few days
in the neighborhood of the national capi
tol. By the way, Randall might make a
splendid Secretary of the Navy under
Bayard’s administration. He wouldn't
waste or steal a single dime of the na
tional treasure, even if the surplus
should continue to grow and confound
his favorite arguments. Mr. Randall
ought to expect nothing, however,until he
places himself in accord with the large
majority of the Democratic party.
The Blaineites cling to the hope that
they will break the ranks of the solid
South this year as they did in 1876. They
can do nothing with Louisiana, Florida or
South Carolina, but they will no doubt at
tempt to manipulate the vote of Virginia.
There are indications that they will be
aided by Mahone and his minions in
another attempt to steal tho Presidency.
The Georgia Crop Report.
The detailed crop report of the Georgia
Department of Agriculture, a synopsis of
which appeared in tbe telegraphic col
umns of the Morning News on Friday,
has just been received. These reports
are compiled by Commissioner Hender
son from the most reliable sources of in
formation obtainable, and their approxi
mate correctness can be relied upon. It
appears from the May report that nearly
every staple crop'ln the State is consider
ably below the average in condition for
the time of the year, while some of them,
as appears from the April report, are be
low the average in acreage.
Corn is getting to be one of our most re
liable crops; in fact, with careful culti
vation, corn, in Georgia, rarely fails. The
condition, this year, is only 2 per cent,
below the average—a better showing than
is made by any other crop. Corn is not a
money crop, but tbe influence it has on
the prosperity of the State is inestimable.
Had, the farmers of Georgia been forced to
depend .upon tbe West foi their corn dur
ing the last few years, as was once the
case, not one in twenty would to-day be
able to bold on to their homes.
Oats, once considered a reliable crop,
are 2H per cent below an estimated
average. This is a valuable but extremely
capricious crop. Experience has demon
strated that only small and highly fer
tilized areas in oats are profitable. The
condition of wheat is rather encouraging
in acreage, but tbe w beak, crop is incon
siderable in acreage in the greater part of
the State.
The 6tand of cotton is 11 per cent, be
low tbe average, and tbe condition is not
so favorable as at this time last year. Cot
ton. however, can bear adversity early in
the season lietter than any other crop.
Its powers of recuperation are wonder
ful. The price cotton will command next
winter is of far greater consequence to
thp producer than the condition of the
crop now.
The fruit crop in Eastern and South
west Georgia is reported somewhat above
the average, but in the whole State it falls
4 per cent, below. In some counYies of
the sections mentioned, however, not over
two-thirds of a crop will be made.
The Commissioner gives the farmers a
timely word of caution in regard to the
probable scarcity of forage, and he very
properly advises the planting of corn in
drills on highly manured laud, as well as
field peas. *or more properly beans, and
millo-maize, to supplement the meagre
supply of forage now on band.
He shows his usual zeal and intelli
gence in tbe conduct of tbe Department
of Agriculture, and he is making it as
serviceable to the people of tbe State as is
possible with the limited means and facili
ties at his command.
The County Democracy.
The representative character of the
meeting of the County Democracy Thurs
day night has excited very favorable com
ment. It was composed of men who take
a deep interest in National, State, County
and City affairs. They were the class of
men who ought to attend political meet
ings. Although they do not seek office they
know that it is their duty as citizens to
see that good men are named for the
offices. There are to be at least three
more meetings this summer, one to nomi
nate delegates to the August State Con
vention, one to nominate delegates to the
Congressional Convention, and one to
name delegates to the Senatorial Conven
tion and nominate cadidates for the
Legislature.
It is to be hoped that all of these meet
ings will be as representative aud as well
attended as was the first of the series.
If they are there will be some assurance
that the voices of those who have the
deepest interest In g'>od government will
be beard in the management of all public
matters in which this community is in
terested.

Not An l' nmtied Evil.
Xesc York Herald, {lnd.).
But it it is doubtful whether any other can
didate ran rail out so absolutely the whole
vote of the Democratic party, it is certain
that some others only a trifle less satisfactory
to Democratic opinion will be a great deal
more satisfactory to a vote that is to be of
much moment in thi* election —the vote of the
Independent Republicans. Consequently Mr.
Tilde .’s refusal may not prove an uumixed
evil to the Democrats.
Tbe Reward of Honor Bright.
Xew York Sun ( Ind .).
The honor that is the rich reward of noble
services faithfully rendered was never
brighter than at this hour. Mr. Tilden lias
once been elected President of the United
States. Superior to all thought of personal
ambition, lie has twice destined a re-election,
and the t ears of life that still remain to him
will lie "made happy by accumulating ac
knowledgments of the nation's debt of pro
found gratitude and veneration.
Great, Wie and Far Seeing.
Xew York World ( Dein .l.
However this document may be accepted by
the Democratic party.it is certain to increase
and intensify the esteem in which Mr. Tilden
is held—to warm the corner in the heart of the
great organization in wnich he abides. Great
always and wise and far seeing. Mr. Tilden’s
l>owe”r and fitness as a leader never appeared
to better advantage than in thi* letter, an t it
is in the completest sense a justification of the
confidence reposed in hint by his party.
It Removes an Obstacle.
Xeic York Times {lnd. Rep.).
It would be but a slight recognition of Mr.
Tilden’s motives and of the circumstance*
under which his letter is written to say that
his act is an unselfish one. It is more than un
selfish. In the present divided condition of
the Republican party it is an act of great
moment aud promise. It removes from the
Democratic partv a prospective candidacy
which it seemed to desire and to consider in
evitable—a candidacy sure to be welcome to a
largo, portion of that party, but obviously not
equallv acceptable to the independent vote
which’the Democratic party can bring into
alliance with itself in the coming canvass.
ITEMS OF’ INTEREST.
Nothing is new under the sun; twenty
years ago there was a noiseless organ which
perambulated London and delighted people

vicinity to hear its diacourse, but is inaudible
at a little distance.
The residence of sx-Congressman Walker,
in Corning. New Y'ork, was recently robbed of
55,800 worth of diamonds during his absence
without much trouble on the part of the
thieves. Bv Mr. Walker’s orders the safe was
never locked except when he was at home, in
anticipation of visits from thieves, who might
maltreat his family if any obstacles were
thrown in their way. He is satisfied with the
price paid for safety.
Oregon salmon, taken from the Lower
Columbia or from any of the streams that fall
Into the Pacific north of Point Orf*rd, have
for more than one generation been justly re
garded as the best fish of that variety in the
wertd, with the single exception of the king
salmon of the Y'ukon and other rivers of
Alaska, in size those caught in the fisheries
or the estuary of the Columbia will average
above twenty pounds each, and it is not at all
uncommon to take them of thirty-live and
forty pounds.
This is the way that the Philadelphia Timet
describes the Philadelphia—well, we call it
the auburn haired girl: “And it is as good as
a picture—better than moat pictures, in fact—
to see the wav in which the sun comes out af

Horace Aistix, when he was Governor of
Minnesota, missed his cow one night and went
in search of her. “Have you seen my cow?''
was the question he put to every acquain
tance he met. Fioally he found his cow in
the fiats below the city, and. besides her, he
discovered a calf only a few hours old. Shov
ing the cow along, he drove her and the calf
up to Third street. St. Paul’s principal busi
ness thoroughfare. Here the little calf
weakened. But the Governor was equal to
the emergenev. Picking the calf up in his
arms, he lugged it and drove the lowing row
the whole length of Third street and up Fort
street to his home, much to the amusement of
the people, who stopped alone the streektosee
and to laugh attheir Governor's predicament.
The old stagers at the Chicago Convention
delighted to recall the notable campaigns of
other days. “I was a Henry Clay Whig in the
old stage-coach days, when we sat np all
night to get the news from the East,” said one
of these on Saturday. "In 18U my next door
neighbor and myself slipped into the post
office on the night the mail was to bring the
decisive news. As the stage came lumbering
up mv friend, who was the Postmaster, be
came so nervous he had to sit down, and when
the mail bag was carried in we were so ex
cited we could not unlock it. After a strug
gle of ten minutes we got the sack open
and learned that Clay was defeated. e
blew the candle out and sat there in darkness
until morning. Then we crept home, and
both were sick for a month.”

KISSING BEN’S BALD HEAD.
How a Charming Girl Made Amends for
an Unintentional Offense.
Georgia Cay van is an actress with elo
cutionary ability, says a New Y'ork letter
to the Rochester Herald, and she had been
hired to recite on this occasion. I don’t
know whethor or not it is true that her
real name is Cavanagh, as I have been
told, but surely she betrayed an Irish ca
pacity for blundering. Although she was
from Boston, and must have known that
Butler’s head—familiar in those parts—
was bare from top to ears, she read for an
encore piece a funny story about a man’s
baldness. Butler sat directly behind her,
like an illustration of the anecdote. On
his right were President Arthur and Gen
erals nheridan and Hancock, and on his
left were several Doctors of Divinity, a
Mayor and some politicians intent on dig
nified demeanor, for they were in a front
row of a stage full of notables. But ail
reserve broke and Ben had to join in the
hilarity.
“I am sorry I was so heedless, sir,” said
the actress, on meeting the ex-Governor
behind the scenes. “Truly, I meant no
offense, and wouldn’t have done it lor
the world.”
“Wouldn’t have done what?” said he.
“YVhy—that—is—recited a—l mean I
wouldn’t have called attention to your
baldness, if I had thought.”
“And you are sincerely anxious to atone
for that offense?”
“Indeed, and indeed I’ll do anything for
forgiveness.”*
“Then kiss the bald head that you’ve
dishonored,” and he bowed it down gal
lantly in front of her.
Georgia blushed, hut did not falter. She
daintily deposited a very small and smack
less kiss in the middle of the broad ex
panse and ran away.
Wild Bill Talks to the Quaker Indian
Commissioner.
Eli Perkins.
“Go on with thy account of the thunder
shower,” said the (Quaker clergyman.
“Well, as I was telling you,” "said YVild
Bill, placing his pistol in his pocket and
looking the Quaker Indian Commissioner
straight in the face like a truthful man.
“I say as I was telling you, I seen clouds
making to north’ard and I knowed it tvas
going to settle in for thick weather. I
told mv son to look out, and in less than
half an hour there broke the doggondist
storm lever seed. Rain! Why, gentle
men, it rained so hard into the muzzle of
my gun that it busted the darn thing at
the breech! Y’es, sir. And the water be
gan to rise on us, too. Talk about your
floods, down South! YVhy ? gentlemen,
the water rose so rapidly In my house
that it flowed up the chimney and
streamed 300 feet up in the air! We got
it both ways that trip, up and down!”
“Do we understand thee is relating facts
within the scope of thine own exper
ience?” demanded the clergyman, with
his mouth wide open.
“Partially mine and partially my
son’s,” answered the truthful Bill. “He
watched it go up, and I watched it come
down! But you can get some idea of how
it rained when I tell you that we put out
a barrel without any heads into it, and it
rained into the bunghole of the barrel
faster than it could run out at both ends!”
“Which of you saw that, thee or thy
son?” inquired a clersyman.
“We each watched it together, my son
and me,” returned Wild Bill, “till my son
got too near the barrel and was drowned.
Excuse these tears, gentlemen, but I can
never tell about that storm without cry
ing.’'
“Yerilv tho truth is sometimes stranger
than fiction,” said the clergyman. “V eri
ly it is.”

was the indifferent reply. “Yes, he can,
and I just saw to-day where there are a
million acres at only $1 an acre? Think
of it, onlv $1 an acre, and a whole million
of them!” “A million acres at $1 an acre
is $1,000,000, ain’t it?” “Yes.’t “Well,
where’s the poor man going to get the
money?” “Wbat?” “Where’s the poor
man going to get the money?” “Why

YOUNG MR. POLK’S CAREER.
A Namesake and Relative of the Ex*
Fresident l’laced in an Insane Aylum.
James Knox Polk, the namesake and
grand nephew of ex-President Polk, says
a New Haven special to the Sun, has been
taken to the asylum for the insane at
Hartford.
Some ten years ago a young man came
to the little village of Saugatuck from
Tennessee, and bought an old-fashioned
house in a secluded place. After he had
lived there awhile sportsmen began to
flock there. Several blooded horses stamp
ed in the stables. Their owner was a
stout, thick set, good-looking young man.
about five feet eight inches high. He had
a heavv brown moustache. No relatives
were with him, and at first he inhabited
the old farm house all alone. The neigh
bors found that he was a grand nephew of
ex-President Polk, and the social circles
of the town opened their doors and asked
him in, but the young man seemed disin
clined to mingle’in rural society, and kept
close to his house.
His purse seemed always well supplied.
He bought much landed property, and it
was estimated roughly that his worldly
possessions were over SIOO,OOO. The old
house was stored full of guns, dogs and
sporting implements. At monthly inter
vals, and sometimes oftener, a squad of
sporting men would come from New Y'ork
and till the old building up to the eaves.
“Knoxsey,” as his friends called him,
would then become genial and full or fun.
YVine would flow freely. Occasionally
the city friends would be accompanied by
ladies. After brief visits the guests
would depart, and James Ivnox Polk
would seclude himself again.
Frequently he went to New Y'ork. Ilis
house was onlv a mile and a half trom the
New Y'ork and New Haven Railroad sta
tion, and every time his friends disap
peared he would hide a few day*, and
then the villagers would see him behind
one ot his fast horses on the way to the
depot. A week after he wold reappear.
He did not seek friendships, but had no
enemies. YVhoever knew him personally
liked him.
Every country fair within fifty miles
was sure to be attended by James Knox
Folk and several of his fastest horses. He
always bet, and bet heavily, but lie did
not always win. People stared at the
wholesale way in which he lost some
times, though he himself seemed wholly
unmindful of it. Every shooting contest
l’oik attended. He was a good shot at
glass balls.
Four years ago Polk and several of his
triends went off on one of their hunts.
By an accidental discharge of a gun
Frank Ferris, of Y\'eston,was shot through
the throat. Polk took him into his house
and tenderly cared for him until he re
covered.
A deep gloom seem suddenly to settle
upon him. He was no longer himself.
Frequently he acted as one dazed. Lack
of business management became appa
rent. Ilis property was poorly cared for.
YY'hat farming land he owned was used
as pasture for his horses, or left uncul
tivated to shoot over. His New Y'ork
friends continued to come in troops, and
though he seemed to have no personal in
terest in their sports, his style of enter
tainment made big inroads into his
resources. A year or two ago his
friends had a master of his estate a(>-
pointed, Yvho was at first Mr. Morris
Ketchum, and after his death Mr. Goose,
of New York city, to whom $1,400 a year
is allotted for his expenses. Last year
his horses were attached for debt, but not
sold, as the matter was settled.
Of late his eccentricities have been
more strongly marked. He went into
business on Broad street, New Y'ork, and
lost heavily. Last year he married the
niece of his housekeeper. This spring he
shaved off his eyebrows. One day soon
after, he got on a tantrum and pounded a
neighbor’s boy over the head with a beer
bottle. Ilis wife has finally felt compell
ed to place him in an insane asylum.
Cause for Congratulation.
Wall Str&t Xews.
When the panic was at its worst, and
excited men were asking of each other
what hauk would be the next to go, he
walked calmly down Nassau street rub
bing his hands and chuckling: “Ah,
wasn’t I lucky—wasn’t I just lucky!”
“Y'ou must have been short when this
thing set in,” observed an acquaintance.
“No, sir; hadn’t a dollar in stocks.”
“Then what luck do you refer to? Did
you just escape buying before the drop?’’
“Not an escape. No, sir; I’m congratu
lating myself that I was cleaned out of
$70,000 in a salted silver mine six months
aso, and have nothing to lose now. I just"
hit it rich, and no mistake. Please pat
me on the hack and call me good boy!”
