V 1 - A Ballot lor tin City Clerk
ship Which nai Said to be Legal
Tender for Two Drinks at any Saloon
in Springfield. /
Springfield, 111., March 31.—This
city is worked up over a '•“ligio-political
Tcud. A your.sr man distributed religious
tracts on the corner of Capitol Square last
Saturday. On the same corner stood an
other you in: man distributing election
tickets. The religious young man gave
tilt olitician a tract and the politician
i'ave in return a little card saying:
“There, partner, take this; you can get two
drinks On it a any saloon in town.” The
card read: “For City Clerk, John M.
Nuckols, ■ r.” The tract distributor car
ried the card to Rev. AV. H. Musgrove,
pastor of too First M. E. Church, and ex
. lained to him its alleged meaning.
A OMB FROM THE PULPIT.
The reverend gentleman said in his
puipit Sunday: "1 hold in rny hand a
card which good for two drinks in any
saloon in Springfield. It itads: ‘For
City Clerk. John M. Nuckols, Jr.’ ” He
then dilated upon the evils ol intemper
ance and the scandalous mannerin which
candidates for office obtained tbcir end.
Mr. Nuckols and his family called on
Rev. Musgrove in the evening and de
manded an explanation of the publicity
given, as it was an insult. Rev. Mus
grove replied that he would not be
threatened, and had no explanation to
give. After a long consultation and some
hot words Rev. Musgrove agreed tore
tract his words at the evening service in
his church.
AN UNSATISFACTORY RETRACTION.
Preceding a red hot temperanco sermon
oe said tnat he wished to explain some
thing he had said at the morning service.
“1 take back nothing I stated,” said he;
“but I understand from Mr. Nuckols that
this card i not good for two drinks or one
drink.” This retraction was not con
sidered sufilcient by Mr. Nuckols and his
friends, and yesterday he wrote to the
minister demanding a full and complete
denial of all he had said, and warning
him that if he did not make all thy re
dress possible for the insult neither his
age, his high social position, nor his holy
calling, would excuse him Irom being
held personally responsible to the writer.
THE BLOW IN THE EVE.
On bis way to mail ibis letter Mr.
Nuckols met Rev. Musgrove or. tiie
i-treet. lie handed him the letter and
• *l.l him to lead it. Rev. Musgrove read, it
capo in gushed face replied that he had
relraetion to make, and that under the
. r.i: elnumstances he would repeat
oat, he bod already said. At this Mr.
Nuckols struck the minister a severe
lew ia the eyi . staggering him back into
mg arms of aby-stander. Friends inter
.red and no more prize ring courtesies
were exchanged. Rev. Musgrove is in
the prime of life, and is a large, powerful
man. lie made no resistance to the blow,
but put liia hand to his face and walked
away. Mr. Nuckols is a nephew of ex
it 'V. Crittenden, of Missouri. The latest
report says tiiat Rev. Musgrove is con
hueu to his bed, and is delirious.

The Marquis of Harrington, when re

Atchison, Lieutenant Governor of Pun-
I .rant), with a most imposing military de
monstration and escorted to the Gover
nor’s residence, the entire route being
lined with massed troops. The weather
was rainy, and this somewhat marred the
pageant. At the Governor's residence
the Ameer was welcomed bv the Kail of
Dufferiu. The Ameer has evidently been
much ihtpressed bv the grandeur of the
reception accorded him.
Baron de Staal, the Russian Ambassa
dor, has imparted to Earl Grauville the
substance of the telegram from M. de
Giers regarding the Afghan frontier. The
government will withhold information on

At a public military banquet lately
given by the Russian officers at Odessa
the talk was exceedingly warlike. Every
sentiment indicating an approach of
actual hostilities with England was loud
ly applauded, and a toast to “a speedy

RUSSIA'S WORD OF WARNING.
‘'T. Petersburg, April 1, 5 a. m.— The

“Yes,” returned the other, meditatively
“remarkably generous. A friend of mine
recently found a dog which had strayed

The Senator offered a large reward for the

the reward the Senator received the

too busy to send the reward. My friend
repeatedly sought the Senator, but with
the same result. Finally he tired of seek

Uncle Sam c-tries newspapers all over

that they re carried in large bulk
than other mail matter, and cost less for
sorting.
If, in addition to mail matter the de

FLORIDA STREET ORANGES.
How the Author of Peek’s Bay Boy
Wrestlert with One at .Jacksonville.
Everybody who has visited Florida
kuows there is as much difference be
tween the sweet cultivated orange and
the hitter, sour orange that grows on all
sides as there is betweeu the wild crab
apple that grows in our woods and the
mellow June appie that blushes in the
summer suu. Mr. l’eck did not know it.
He thought an orange was au orange the
world over. He tackled a Jacksonville
street orange and writes thus to Peck’s
Sun on the subject:
“The oranges didn’t look right to me. I
couldn’t see how they could grow right
there in the street, right within reach of
every little nigger coon in town, without
being stolen. In the North the sourest
crabapple that ever broke a man’s jaw or
puckered up a pretty mouth, would not be
safe for a moment ;>$ exposed as these
oranges were, and I could not believe that
boys in the South were more honest than
boys in the North. Then I got to think
ing, and made up niy mind that the
oranges were tied on the trees with pieces’
of wire to deceive Northern people. 1
thought it was a mean deception and I
made up my mind to expose it to the
world. 1 asked a colored man if there
was any objections to a man picking au
orange, and he said jc reckoned not, so 1
reached up and got hold of one and picked
it. 1 looked for the wire or string, hut it
was actually a growing orange, and I had
more faith in Florida tuan ever, i shall
always believe that the colored man
sfhiled when he saw mo takeout my knife
tocutapleceoutofthatorange. Anyway,
he turned his back when I started the
piece of orange toward my mouth. Many
ot the readers of the Sun will remember
my mouth, as it was when 1 lived at the
North. It was a pretty decent sort of a
mouth to stub around home with. A
plain everyday sort of a lmlo, with teeth j
and tongue and lips, before 1 took that I
piece of orange in. Yo gods! The orange I
was as much sourer than vinegar than
vinegar is sourer than honey. And bitter! j
Aloes, and rhubarb, and quinine combined
would be molasses beside that orange.
My lips begau to curl up and dra w around
my left ear, my teeth became loose and
rattled around like dice in a dice box, and
my tongue clove to the roof of ray mouth.
One eye opened eo wide that the eye ball
looked like the face of a six shilling watch,
and the other closed spasmodically and
winked so a colored nursa girl got off a
bench and hauled the baby away, while
the baby cried as though a pin was
sticking in it, on account of the express
ion mi on fare. I reaohed around to my
pocket for a handkerchief to cover mv face
until 1 could um-orew my mouth and get
it back in front of me, and the colored man
thought i was going to draw a pistol, and
be started off on a run. Well, if I had a
picture of my face when 1 toon a mouthful
of that orange, they could sell them by the
thousands in dime museums, aa the wild
man of Borneo. And that is the reason
oranges are safe growing on the streets.
They are too sour to eat, and no boy will
steal anything he cannot cut.”

THE BAD AOYIV HISTORY.
BlllNye Philosophize* on His Past and
A ut uie.
Many years ago there lived in New Ha
ven a vgry bad boy. He was born 145
yes.ro ago, and as tie is now dead I feel a
tiber-.y to write his biography. Some
times L is perfectly tiresome waiting for
a min to die, so you will feel per
fectly safe in saying what you think of
him; but if he happens to ' e a large, ro
bust man i'. certainly pays to do it.
This boy was known fm and wine as
the meanest and notoriously, hopelessly
wail boy io Connecticut. No other boy
had any claims whatever when he was
around', end for years ho carried the belt.
He knew alt tne little fir. : tricks ol mean
ness and cruelty at tne age of twelve
veil's that it generally takes a lifetime to
acquire. Where otl ers studied all day
hard tfi devise new kinds of wickedness,
an” la* on their stomachs nights by the
light of of a pin knot nd patiently
Worked out the more difficult problems
of meunhesa and lawlessness, this lad
seemed to breathe ’t all in the very air.
His wonderful genius as a successful bad
b >v was remarked ire those who did not
know him at all. He was a prodigy ol
wickedness, a miracle of meanness.
He loved to get little boys rato his
hands and then duck them or scare them
out of their senses. He succeed'd in crip
pling several little schoolrnaus, and blew
out the teacher’s eye with a cannon fire
cracker oao day. He loved to see his
little Irientls fall in’/> his traps, and very
fev, - of his most intimate friends suc
ceeded in dying an ituml death.
I could go on for pa re after page telling of
the funny pranks ol this bud boy, il I chose
to, and it woufil make you laugh till the
tears rolled down your cheeks to reau
how he filled the as> ium and the hospital
and the cemetery with his friends.
Whenever any of the dogs saw this hu
morous boy they would conceal their
tails as far as possible and go to Canada
till the bad bov’ha l grown up or died.
He was a great lover ot fun, and in one
evening soared three little girls with a
skull covered with phosphorous and
worked by machinery so that they had fits
ali their liv. s. He knew of more ways to
produce alaiieh and scare a child into
tits than any boy of his age in Connecti
cut, and you must remember that this
happened over 106 >e m ago, when boys
didn’t have the advantages they have
now.
Year after year he lived on. just as full
of the “old scratch” : s ever. Now and
then he would burn a Lam. just to seethe
cows scatter and watch the farmer hus
tle out iu his shirt with a pail of water.
But observe how the prophecies ot his
neighbors failed. It ought to encourage |
every bad bov iu the United States to-day
whose relatives and friends speak harsh
ly ol him. This lad at last grew to be a
man, atnl was known ati over the civiliz- ■
td world. Ilis name is familiar to every !
one, and in the history of our great land
you will find a long account of him, and
still he had the reputation of pulling frogs
to pieces while they were alive, and of
leaving mu I turtles on tno track for the
passenger train so that be could hear them
pop, and of putting kittens on the kitch
en stove to watch them while they danced.
Bad boy, do not be discouraged. Hope
on, tor there may be :i future tor you. Do
not lose hope when your parents talk
hack at you. You have just as good chance
to be known all over the world as the boy
of whom I have told you. He was poor,
too. He had to sow lbs wild oats first, as
you say, but he steadily worked his way
on, until at the time of his death he was
known wherever the English language is
spoken as ilenetffct Arnold, and. every
body wanted to see him very mitc-U iu
deed. Even the Sheriff, who wouldn’t
recognize him at all when he was a boy,
walked for miles and miles to find him
and converse with him, and when be got
there Mr. Arnold wasn’t at home. He
had thought of something iu England that
he wanted to go ami get.
I’resideut Cleveland’* Favorite Game
of Ctiyilg.
I) nton Journal.
Pinocle is a game played with thirty
two cards, the deuce, tray, four, five arid
six spots of each suit being taken from
the pack. Eight cards are dealt to each
player, first three all around, then two
ar.d then three. Trump is turned up and
laid at the side of the pack. The player
to the left of the dealer leads, and the one
that takes the trick draws the top card
of the deck; then each other player
takes a card. Kagit trick taken is re
served by 'he winner to count tne points
of the game, as In “Seven up.” The ob
ject of the game is to play for points,
which aro as follows: Each ace counts
eleven points, each ten spot counts ten
points, each king counts four points, each
queen counts three paints, and each jack
two points. The ace is the highest card,
ten next, then king, etc. The ten spot
takes the king and all under it. Until
the deck is exhausted the players are not
required to (ollovv suit or trump.
Besides the regular points of game are
others by “melting.” Having taken a
trick, if the winner has a sing and queen
of suit, he calls “Melt,” laying the two
before him to show that he has them. He
dors not force the cards, however, for they
can be used in taking tricks. Each melt
of king and queen counts 20 points unless
he mi its trumps, in which case it counts
40. It he m Ids 4 aces be melts them,
counting 100. Melting 4 kings counts 80;
#4 queens counts HO; 4 jacks 10. Mtdtlng
is telling what a player holds in his
hands, but ho cannot melt unless he
takes a trick, and then he must melt bc
lore drawing from the deck. Ho can
make but one melt on a trick.
The holder of the seven spot of trumps
calls “Diece,’’ and takes the trump turned
up. putting tae seven spot iu its place.
This counts ten for the player. Diece
cannot be counted a s ■cond time. The
jack of diamonds should he held until the
finish of the drawing front the deck. The
holder of the jack of diamonds and queen
of spades calls “i’inoole” when tie has oc

The Twins.
n, trait r ree Tree*.
“lines ” lie wiirperei', as he leaned over
the counter, ‘de ole woman wants some
tea mighty had, an’ I hasn’t got any
money.”
“Can’t help that, sir,” was the reply,
“I’m giving more than I can afford to
without taking on any now applica
tions.”
“’Zactly, hovs; I presume so. Boss,
please give .e your full name.”
“John Y. Blank.”
‘‘An’ dat of ver pardner.”
“Hissiaiue is William J. Jones. What
do you want of our names?”
“Wall, I didn’t get de tea. but you used
me like a gein’len, an’ bein' ns we has got
twins in our family I’ne gwino to name
’em urter you an* your pardner.”
“Oh! you said tea. llj ? V, by. yes; I'll
he nappy to put you up halt a pound.
Green or’Japan? Twins, eh? Hope the
mother is doing well. Say, if you want
those boys to make smart men give ’em
smart names. If 1 were you I’d call ’em i
Washington aud Jefferson.”
A Famous French Edltres*.
31He. Guillanim, who died last tveek,
was. tor six vears before her lather s
death, aud for‘twenty subsequent vears,
the directress of La Revue dcs bcono
midles and of a great publishing estab
l shment. She was little, alert in ner
movements, and gay and witty in her
conversation when she had leisure to con
verse. lit r editor, sub-editors, proof
readers’ and many of her typographic
naff used to dine with her once a week,
and sne often had the women who folded
and stitched the volumes that issued front
her presses to Sunday entertainments.
She said she should be for equal rights, if
sh<* had time to claim them. Mile. Guii
luurnin boasted that she never quarrelled
with anv one in her employment, che
d'd not believe that the stronger sex were
ever actuated by chiv ilry in trade rela
tions, and she held that the sooner wo
men get rid of the delusion the better it
will be for them. This remarkable type
of a T 'reuch old maid was natty, hut too
absot oed in business to be coquettish.
She lived in a handsome and spacious
flat in the Rue Richelieu, over her print
ing and publishing offices. A younger
sister, no taller but rather thi mer than
the "directress,” was th’ housekeeper.
There was a great air of solid comfort and
serious old-fashioned magnificence in the
sitting rooms. In her office Mile. Guil
laumi'n used to wear a muslin cap and
black skirt, with a loose, plain jacket,
She had a rare faculty, and a happy one
lor a publisher of estimating rapidly the
value of a manuscript. Bhe retused to
look at anything from a candidate for a
post on her staff' if it were not written in
a kahd • clear as print. She was a free
thinker, intellectually speaking, and yet
from sentiment, and that only, a
devout Catholic. Most of the celeorated
and eminent men who have within the
last fortv years written on financial and
economical questions were known to her
personally.
The Arabs Never Surrender.
London Telegraph.
As at Teb and Tamai, the wounded
Arabs refused to be made prisoners, and
great caution had to he exercised in mov
ing about the field, not only to avoid the
covert stabs dealt by the bleeding Arabs,
but the rushes and cuts of the fanatics
who shammed death iu order that they
might the more surely get a chance of
buryipg their weapons in one of us.
Exploring along this wady a party of
our men came upon six dead and four
wounded Arabs lying under a bushy
dwarf mimosa tree. The soldiers had au
interpreter with them, and the Arabs were
called upon to surrender and come out.
That they said they could not do; would
the soldiers therefore comeaud take them.
The four wounded men still held their
spears in their hands. '“Very
said our soldiers, “put down your spears,
aud we will see you are well treated, and
do all we can to cure your wounds.”
“ The answer of the four Arabs came
fierce and concise: "Put down our spears,
infidel dogs! By God and the prophet,
never!” There was a crack of Martini-
Henrys. Y'ou can guess the rest. It was
again, as at Teb arid Tamai, almost im
possible to take prisoners, and we secur
ed but two of their wounded alive.
The third prisoner I assisted to bring
in, but he was hardly a capture, for the
man gave himself up. He had a Rem
ington and over 103 rounds of ammuni
tion. His story was that he had been one
of the Berber-Egyptiau garrison, and since
the fall of that place bad been forced into
the Mahdi’s army. He was glad to escape
from them, he declared, and I must say
the fellow looked cheerful at being taken.
A trooper of the Nineteenth conducted
him to Gen. Stewart, lie was our one
unwounded prisoner.

It tins always been ihe custom to summon
attendants from one portion, of the White
House to another by the clapping of hands,
after the manner of the Orientals, This was
rendered necessary by the Absence of the fa
in: 1 1 ur electric bells, particularly connecting
ilie private part of the house with the ofilces.
The custom lias often led to confusion, t'rcsi.
lic it Arthur would stand in the middle of iho
blue room, and, bv dapping hi* hands, ho
would summon attendants from every direc
tion. His understood that durlsg the llrat
v >it of President Cleveland to the Wh te
House Mr. An hurexplalued to tom the custom
icier ted to. While appreciating its oddity, the
now President evidently thought It c uld be
improved upon. Consequently workmen are
engaged In putting a system of electric India
and annunciators lliruii client the Imlldlng,
and the hand-clapping will soon boa thing of
the past. If. will he a good while before Iho
older attendants can break themselves of the
otocr hauit aud confine themselves to bell
