Romance of a Moustache. A police officer in Toledo was in formed by a detective that lie had seen tlic moustache of a young fellow —a passenger bv a Lake Shore train —rail off while" he was asleep, and advised him to arrest the youth. Al though this is not an offense against the statutes of Ohio, the Officer laid liis hand upon tlic lind_ young man' shoulder, and he, looking up, saiil he knew what was wanted and would go with the officer.

She was going to Buffalo to live with her brothers, who would whip her husband if he cnine for her.

The jicrsistriitabstinciitarian, Dr. Tan ner, has completed the twelfth day of his fast record, and is reported in better con dition than at any time during the week. His case lias puzzled the doctors. Among the list of money order post offices recently gazetted by the depart ment, are the following in Georgia: Can ton, Eastman, Hartwell, Rising Fawn and Summerville, and in Florida, Apop ka, Manatee, Orange City and Titusville. The military parade anil Governor’s review at the encampment of tlic Georgia volunteer soldiery at Rome oil Saturday was a grand display, and attracted thous ands of iieople to witness it. The Chat ham Artillery, of Savannah, bore a con spicuous part. A grand Republican ratification meet ing was to have been held Saturday night at Jacksonville anil Conover, with one thousand negroes from Middle Florida, arrived to participate therein, hut a heavy rain storm dampened tlic ardor of the enthusiastic crowd. The missing New Orleans child, of which telegraphic mention lias been made, anil which has excited considera ble interest as another Charley Ross af fair, will probably be found in tlic person of a strange child which was Iclt on the platform of the depot at AVest Point, Ga., by a woman a few days since. Hassein Husni Pasha has been appoint ed Minister of War, replacing Osman Pasha who has been retired. He lias recommended that a money Indemnity be paid to Montenegro for tlic territory claimed under the Berlin decision, if tlic latter will accept tlic compromise. At Painters’Iron mills, Pittsburg, on Saturday morning, an explosion of one of the batteries of the seven Iwilers took plaee, producing fearful effects, killing tlic engineer and fireman. Fortunately only three persons were in the mill at llie lime of the accident, otherwise more fearful results would have been the con sequence. The funeral services of tlic late vener able Dr. Sears, Cliairman of tlic Trustees of the Pealiody Edncaeional Fund, took place at Brookline, Massachusetts, anil were very solemn anil impressive. Ad dresses, eulogistic of .the deceased, were made by distinguished clergymen anil others. 'The Nicaraguan canal scheme lias re- i-ivcil a fresh lioom in the shape of the prcsciitntation of M.

Front the New York Sun.) The Garfield Republicans have not the slightest hope of carrying a single Southern Slate. This assures IAS electoral votes to Gen. Hancock, lie will need only 17 electoral votes in the Nnrtliern States so complete the requisite majority of 185. Where can lie get them ? The States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut cast 79 votes nninely: Pennsylvania, 2fi: New Jcrs-y, 9; New York, 35; and Connecticut 0. On n straight pull between the two parties, New Jersey and New York arc decidedly Democratic, and Connecticut usually inclines in that direction, while Penn sylvania lias been disposed to go Re publican. In the spirited contest of I87li, New York gave Tildeii anil Hendricks a majority of 32,090, New Jersey a majority of 12,000, and Con necticut n majority of 2,800; hut Pennsylvania went for Hayes by a majority of 17,900. Under ordinary circumstances, these four Slates might lie expected to vole in November next ns Kiev did four years ago. Even such a result would more than suffice to elect Han cock and English, for New Jersey, New York anil Connecticut cast fifty voles, which is three more limn the Democratic candidates will need with tin: whole vote of llie South. Itllllvi.il General Hancock at llie head of the lickel. Hie circumstances are nut of an ordinary character as far as these four Slates are concerned. There arc now living in Pennsylva nia, New Jersey, New York and Con necticut til least two hundred thous and voters who served with General Hancock in the army of tlic Potomac, while tens of thousands of them, first anil last, served under him. ’Tlic two hundred thousand have been with him in many a battle for the preserv ation of tiie union, and tens of thous ands have seen hint, sword in hand, fighting shoulder to shoulder with them in the thickest press. With (>en. Hancock backed by the united Democracy of these four Sla'es the probability that the extra soldier vote will prove ample to maintain tlic Democratic majorities of 1870 in the three States that went for Tildcn, anil to capture the 9.000 votes in Pennsylvania which are needed to turn that State over to Hancock, must be admitted to be reasonably strong. AVe have ovor looked Indiana, and its 15 electoral votes, which were cast for Tildcn and Hendricks four years ago. The State nnturally in clines to the Democracy : the Cincin nati Convention lias strenghtened the ticket by placing AVilliam II. English upon it as a candidate for Vice-Pres ident. He is one of tlic ablest and most popular men in the State, and his name will most likely secure it to the Democrats in the preliminary election in October, just as Hen dricks secured it in This will render the triumph of Hancock ami English in November by a handsome majority both natural and easy. Mistaken Sympathy. Of late years there lias been a ten dency in some quarters to extend a blind sympathy to criminals, no mat ter what their offenses may lie. Mur derers are tlic especial objects' of this mawkish sentiment, hut others come in for a liberal share of it, propor tioned to the enormity of their crimes and tlic degree of so-called romance that enters into their histories. Noth ing could be more misplaced than this. Sympathy is an admirable feel ing, but llicro arc many worthy ob jects upon whom it can be lavished without going into prisons to seek them. AVrong-docrs should suffer Hie penally of their misdeeds. “As ye have sown so shall ye reap.” Against that sentence there can he no appeal. Men know well enough when they are violating the laws of God and man. They arc not ignorant of the consequences. The path of rectitude is before them. They can follow it or step aside into that broad and straight way that leads to perdition. It is a question of free will. If they choose the evil, the well being of si - cicty demands that they should snffci, otherwise there would he no safety, law would he a mockery, and every man’s hand would be against liis neighbor. To extend sympathy oth er than sorrow for their fall to vio lators of law in their just punishment is not only misplaced, but exceeding ly pernicious in its influence upon tlic youth of the country. No man un dergoes punishment without a fair and impartial trial by a jury of his countrymen, who have all the facts before them. It should he sufficient for all men to know that they jrnlgi d him deserving of the penally fixed la the law. AVe have no patience wi lt tlic sentiment that would save stu b people from the natural consequences of their wrong-doing.

A petty hut endless trouble of tlic travelers in Europe for the first timo is Hie maltnr of gratuities. You give a trifle all the time to everyone who docs you Hie least service. Even for an a ppsrcntly friendly word of information on tin: street you are ex pected to |my in this way. In Eng land it is “a tip;” in France, the pour hoirc; in Germany it ia trinkgeld, drink money. It is not much mon ey in any one instance, hut foots up pretty well after an active day’s work. The practical trouble, how ever, is to know what to give. The inhabitants and the servants them selves know exactly what they arc entitled, for it is a matter of right, just as much as uny other charge, al though the amount is never fixed or published in any written form for the information of strangers. They mn«t leant it by experience. AVe, as a rt.le, to whom Hie Euro pean nicrsnrcs arc new, give too much. Englishmen of rank anil wealth complain that Americans raise Hie costs of travel wherever they go. For Hie gratuity of cab drivers, waiters at restaurants etc., tin* recog nized European usage is ip England one penny fur every shilling spent in fare or at tlic table, and in France anil Italy two sous for every franc spent. This rule disposes of a largo portion oftlie cases. For |iortcrs, two pence in England and two sous on the Continent, tor every piece of luggage handled, if it is only to carry it across a pavement. An iiiiihrnlln or a shawl is a piece as well as a trunk lie driver of an om nibus, cab or fiacre, as a point of eti quette and out of professional con sideration for the porters, will refuse to touch a piece of luggage himself, even to lift it from three feet away into liis vehicle. A'isiting at private houses of tlie upper classes in England llie serv ants expect their tips in gold coin if your slay is over n day or two. The smallest English gold coin is a ten shilling piece—12.50. You see the footman, who attends your bedroom ; the maid, if you have ladies, who serves their chambers; the Initlcr, who lias charge of the dining-room and force of waiters ; Hie keepers, if you hunt; the groom you use, if you ride, or the head of ’ the stables* if there are several, and generally any servant that you specially use. ’ You will soon learn how to grade these fees according to tlie rank of the ser vant anil the length of your visit. On first-class ocean steamers the gratuities are much analogous to those in a gentleman’s house. The steward who waits on you at the ta ble and the one who attends vonr stateroom, will each expect a fee in gold—ten shillings ($2.50), at least— from a single passenger; a pound, if you have hatha brought into your room every morning, or arc particu lar about having your wines warmed or iced ; or, in short, use tlie servants up to their full capacity. When the passage is $00 to $75 or less, these fees are less—about one-half of the figures above. The “boots” also looks to lie remembered about one- half tlie amount given tlie steward. The expense of this gratuity busi ness in ordinary travel is in general rather exaggerated. The sums giv en are very small and you get a great deal for them—a willing, perfect, kindly service which yon do not get in our country at all. ’ To the travel er the custom is an annoyance rather than a burden. The usage degrades and demoral izes and utunans him who takes the vail, or gift, or tip, or bounty, or whatever you please to call it; "yet a very great portion of tlie people of Great Britain and Europe do receive their wages lit this way, look for it, and feel no humiliation in the trans action. You can hardly insult any body across the water by offering them anything, no matter what ap pears to be liis or tlieir official posi tion. I have given a shilling in Lon don to uniformed policemen, and a franc in Paris to magnificent-looking hotel managers. A Philadelphia ac quaintance iu London had several hundred dollars brought to him from his banking house, one of the largest there, by a clerk of the estab lishment, and the nattily-dressed young gentlemen asked for a shilling for his services. Imagine the conse quences of offering ten cents to a con ductor of the Pennsylvania Railway who had shown you to your scat in the car and given you information as to when to got out; yet this is done all over England every day, and tlic uniformed and rcKjicrlablc looking guard hangs around stickily until lie gels' liis sixpence.—Philadelphia Press.
