New York, July 54.—Congressman
JTim Campbell is a radiant specimen of
tne New York politician. His local fame
bids fair to become national. It has
always been mv opinion that the most
loveable, distinct and unique character
istic of thi6 eminent statesman was bis
ingenuousness.
“1 aint no Washington,” Mr. Campbell
remarked to me once; “but you kin
belcher life I’m a winner.’’
And he is. He rattles about loosely In
S. >. Cox’s cbair, but he manages to keep
bis bead above tbe level aud makes noise
enough to, attract attention. One of bis
few passions is a white lawn necktie, it
i6 of the kind that gentlemen wear witn
evening dress tbe world over. Mr. Camp
bell wears one all day long. In the dead
©f winter he will waik among blizzards,
tornadoes ami hurricanes with bis coat
carefully laid open in front so as to ex
hibit bis waive tie to tbe fullest advant
age. If he catches you looking at it bis
mobile features take on a look of vast,
beaming ami exultant gratification, and
there i8 no surer road to bis heart than
through tbe medium of tbe dainty white
tie. fu manner he bis genial and perpetu
ally eceerlul. Once I was coming up to
town from Rockaway in a private car
along with seme other guests of the Presi
dent of the road when a large and exceed
ingly drunken man reeled into the car
and sank tumultuously into a seat near
some ladies. lie leered at them heavily
lor a moment, and then said thickly, hut
■with a loud smile: “Ah, there girls. Been
bavin’ a lark? Hooray I’m wid yer.”
Mr. Campbell was in the car. He mo
tioned an advancing brakenian of evident
p.ilistic purpose to go back, and he
dropped into the seat beside the drunkard,
turning upon him a face melting with a
look of human kindness and love. Se
renity, peace, friendliness and brotherly
nffeotion fairly exuded from Timothy J.’s
Countenance as he said in a confidential
whisjier:
“Res’ go into tbe other car.”
“La?” said the drunkard.
“The other car’s the place for us,” said
Jlr. Campbell witli a significant wink.
“Don't give it out,” he added cautiously,
•‘but come in with me on the dead quiet.
.If tbe others git onto us the racket’ll be
spoiled.”
’“l’m on,” said the heavy weight with a
amuken wink that was intended to beex
iscediugly knowing, cralty and adroit.
'*J’ui on; lead th’ way.”
Tnereupon Mr. Campbell made a great
feint of glancing cautiously around and
then tip-toed like a stage villain ont of
the car, followed cautiously and silently,
if somewhat unsteadily, by tbe befuddled
Hercules. A few seconds later Mr. ( amp
bell returned alone. The trainbands bad
bis late companion in tbe rear car.
Thus it will be seen that the tact and
cleverness of the politician averted what
would doubtless have been an ugly fight
tn t ie car, and the ladies were accord
ingly grateful.
Congressman Campbell is of the suave
and affable type of New York politicians,
and be also runs to earnestness. Appar
ently be is all sincerity in nis career of
statecraft and looks hurt when it is al
luded to as a burlesque, llis temper is as
stinnv as bis manner. Wnen 1 meet him
again he will relerto this little screed with
a -•rin. Thai’s why I have the courage to
x< date another little incident, concerning
him.
It was a speech Just after he bad been
elected to Congress. He was in a com
placent and eoutenti and vein, and be stood
with one band in his pocket while with
the other he waved a cigar. The eouclu-
einn of bis speech whs:
“An’now, gentl’inin, 1 go to Wash’in
ton to expound the national constitootion
alter havin’ spent several years in inter
pertin the Stale constitootion at Albany.”
Which, added Mr. Campbell with a glow
ril gentle self satislactiou, ”1 done very
Clever.”
Geniality or magnetism, as it was the
whim to call it during the last election,
goes a great way in political life. Mr.
Campbell is one instance. 1 recall many
cithers. Among them Registrar Reilly
stiyids prominent. lie came here an
Irish lad so green and raw that when the
policeman at the Ratterv told him
tuat Kulton sireet was about fourteen
blocks up Broadway the immigrant
thought that “blocks” meant piles of
brick where houses were being built, and
walked ten miles uptown betore discover
ing his error. This was not many years
ago, lor he is still a young man, and prob
ably the handsomest politician in town,
too. Now Mr. Reilly serves in an otiles
Ihe emoluments ol which pass beyond the
HO!>,000 mark every year. He cannot be
called witty or briiliaut, and his speeches
are characterized by little else than
modesty, still he has achieved a distin
guished political and monetary aucorss
through his invariable good nature. He
has a quiet smile, a low voice and the
habit of giving the man be meets a warm
grip of the hand, and these things have
made him a success, though backed up by
absolutely nothing else.
Though the cordiality o! Campbell and
Reilly is notable, I do not for a moment
mean to convey the impression that it is
atlected or insincere. It is because the
two men are so honestly cheerful and
optiiulslic that they are so widely liked,
and 1 fancy that in this very quality lies
the mam strength of all the party lead' rs
of the lower wards of New York. Per
sonal popularity has more to do with it
than an.thing else, and the genial, if
superlicial, Irish politicians have a grip
on the laborer's vote which nothing can
disturb.
The aristocrat, so-called, of political
life has a hard road to travel if he turns
toward any of the city ofllces. Toe brief
experiences of the better element in local
politics have not been glittering successes
•<i lar. Several rich men’s sons have
come to grief, eminent citizens of cultur
ed tastes have been ruthlessly slaughter
ed, and no etu! ot aspiring millionaires
have been beaten out ol their boots, while
Ignorant and unknown hut genial emi
grants have drifted airily into ide snug
gest ol the city’s good things.

Wayne McVeigh was recently a guest
•t a newspaper dinner, lie responded to
the toast ot “The Press.” In his com
ments he said that all that was apparently
Absolutely necessary to start a newspa
per was a second-hand font ol' type ami a
cabinet of old wood cuts. The wood-cut
lever seems to be at its height iu thiscity.
It is developing some glaring inconsisten
cies. The most recent is an effort on the
part ol the Judge to pass oil a caricature
of Charles A. Dana for that ol George
Jones ol the Times. The lull bearded
face and portly tigure are those of the
editor or the Sun. Mr. Jones is a gentle
man small in stature, in nowise resem
bling Mr. Dana. Borne wag undoubt
edly imposed upon the artist by
giving him a photograph of
Mr. Dana instead of one oi
Mr. Jones. A similar blunder is made in
the Orapbic News of July 10, where a
portrait ol E. Prentiss Halley, of tbo
Utica Observer, is represented as a Pic
ture of Silas H. Roberts, ol the Utica Her
ald, and Roberts’ face is represented as
that oi Hailey’s. These pictorial blun
ders. however, pule before one made by
Ihe World last fall. The cut of a promi
nent politician in its Brooklyn edition ap
peared in its New Jersey edition a day or
two aiierwards as a representative ol the
face of a Newark undertaker. This
luisiake was outdone some years
, ago by the editor of a rural news
paper in Connecticut. It was when the
llev. Herbert II Hayden was being tried
|on the accusation of murdering -Mary
standard. Portraits of the clergyman
appeared In nearly all the newspapers.
The country editor was put on his mettle,
tin looking over his box of cuts be lound
one of a quaes* doctor used in a patent
medicine advertisement fifteen or twenty
years ago. He reprinted amt reebris
it ned it as a fac simile of the Kev, Mr.
Hayden. It so happened that tne quack
was still alive. He saw the engraving,
sued the editor, and recovered heavy
damages.
Ibe latest newspaper rival In New
York in the way ol outs is the Star, .lust
now public attention is riveted upon it bv
the fact that Jonu I!. Mcl.ean.ot the Cin
cinnati Enquirer, ts a guest at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel. McLean, like Halstead,
Watterson and other Western editors,
has long desired to obtain a tootho'ld in
New York journalism. This desire has
probably been stimulated by tne success
of tho ilon. Joseph Pulitzer. McLean
came within nn ace nt buying the plant
amt good will of the Star when Mr. John
Kelly sundered his association with that
newspaper. Gov. Dorsheimer afterwards
bought It, and threw the United States
district Attorneyship overboard so as to
give his undivided attention to editorial
duties. Whether he is anxious to sell or
not. a good story is afloat concerning an
effort to open negotiations with McLean.
A mutual friend ol the two editors was
visiting Dorsheimer one day, when the
< iovernor said:
‘•By the by. Walker, I understand that
John McLean is in the city. There is a
rumor that he wants to buy my news
paper. Now it would hardly be consis
tent with my dignity, you know, tor me
to call on him. The President doesn’t
like him. He ought to call on me. Sup
pose you casually drop in at his hotel and
without hinting that you have seen ine
suggest thai lie pay me a friendly visit.
1 shall take it as a great personal favor.
1 admire McLean, but 1 wish he stood in
greater favor at the White House.”
Walker good naturedly consented to do
what he could to oblige the Governor. He
called upon Me Dan, congratulated him
on his healthy appearance, questioned
him about the length of his sojourn, and
then said:
“By the by, John, why don’t you call
on Gov. Dorsheimer? He thinks a great
deal of you, and has bad many compli-
mentary references to you in bis news
paper. It. would be a capital idea to drop
in on him some day and have a chat with
him. He would be pleased to meet you.
Pm sure. 1 saw him the other day and
lie B[>oke of you in terms of the highest
admiration.”
“Is that so?” McLean replied. “I’m
pleased to hear it. It would hardly be
dignified in me, however, to pay him a
visit. You see President Cleveland
doesn’t like him. He ought to call
on me. You might do me ■ a
great personal favor just now, Walker.
Drop in on the Governor yourself in a
day or two, and alter casually mention
ing that lam visiting the city, suggest
that it would be a delicate compliment
lor him to call and see me. You oan tell
him how much I esteem and appreciate
him and all that, but don’t let him know
that you have seen me. That would
spoil the whole thing. Dorsheimer’s good
enough, but he lacks standing at the
White House.”
Walker was nonplussed. Ho gasped
lor air on reaching the street, but he held
his tongue,and siuce that time Dorsheimer
has been expecting a visit Irom McLean,
and McLean has been expecting a visit
from Dorsheimer.
Meantime John continues on a still
bunl, but whetuer ho is alter the Star or
the Sun, tne Herald or the Times, no one
but himself cab toll. It is whispered (bat
he will start a oue-oent morning news
paper if ho fails to secure a journal al
ready established.

A IM.KASANT DAY IN SCIUVEX.
A Day that was Enjoyed anil a Din

SCAKBORO.SCRIVKN COUNTY,GA., July
21.—This inviting town hue a very liberal
share ol natural beauty, anil its artificial
appointment* are neat. There was a pub
lic dinner here on Friday, to which the
surrounding country was Invited, and
which was largely attended. It was not
political, but was “tor the public good”

orator ot the day. Mr. Oliver

cient agent of the Central railroad at this
place, introduced the speaker, and refer
red to him as having discharged tiis legis
lative duties with credit to hi nisei I and
satisfaction to his constituents. The
orator addressed the large assemblage on
the several problems ot the day. His re
marks were mostly based on Mr. Web
ster’s declaration to the ambitious young
that "there is always room at the top.”
He lauded the honest farmer and the
sturdy mechanic, and with spark-ling wil
and good humor criticized the aimless
spirit which seems to possess our South
ern youth, and finally laughed their ex
piring chivalry out of i he world.
Master Willie McClellan, a fat little
boy of about 0 summers, was placed in a
chair on the aland and introduced by
('apt. Wood to the audience. Ho deliv

eloquence amid many approving smiles.

BOTH KIDDED OUTRIGHT.
A Railroader'h I)elre to Be Revenged
Ends in Two Deaths.
Jacksonvillk, Fla., July 24.—Parties
in from Callahan, Fla., this forenoon
tirinii particulars of a light that culmi
nated there this morning between 7 and 8
o'clock, resulting in the instant killing of
James Atkins, car inspector lor
the Savannah, Florida and Western
railway, and James Black, station master
for the Florida Kailway and Navigation
Company. The parties only exchanged
one shot each, Atkins using a musket or
single barrelled gun loaded with buckshot,
and Black a heavy revolver. Atkins was
shot through the heart and Black
ill the forehead. It seems that a feud of
long standing had existed between the
men, growing outof some misunderstand
ing relative to the discharge of their re
spective duties, over which they fre
iiueiitly came to cross words. Yesterday
they met and engaged in an altercation,
but were separated, both declaring, how
ever, bitter enmity and threatening each
other’s life.
Kyo witnesses say that Atkins was en
gaged in his duties this morning, accom
panied on his rounds by bis son, but evi
dently anticipating trouble, as he was
armed with tne heavily loaded gun al
ready alluded to. Very shortly Black
came along, approachiug within a lew
leet. Atkins ordered his son to
get behind a car out of dauger
aud told Black to stop or
he would shoot biui down. Black was
then within a lew feet of Atkins, and
replied with a defiance and a challenge to
shoot, almost at the same instant pulling
his pistol and tiring at Atkins, the shot
taking effect in his left breast. Atkins
staggered a lew paces toward Black,
raised his gun and fired the entire
charge, striking Black just above thoeyes,
crashing through the left side o! his skull
and coming out in the rear of the ear.
Both fell and expired without speaking a
word. Both were married men with
families. The affaircrcated great excite
ment and profound sorrow at Callahan,
the lamantations of the wives and chil
dren of the dead men being described as
pitiful aud heartrending in the extreme.
