W hite, chief paymaster the New York, Lake Erie and West ern Railroad Company for yeais, has resigned. lie is succeeded hy Peter F. Donohue, who was Pay master White’s assistant. When Fisk and Gould were in control of the Erie, Peter Donohue was Fisk’s office boy. fie was a slight built boy, his eye was always on the right of business. One day Fisk gave orders to Peter, who sat at the outside door of Prince Erie’s office in the orrand Opera House building, ihat he would be en gaged in some particular matters and must be out to every applicant, no matter who it might tie. At that time John Morrissey and Fisk were great friends, and Morrissey happen ed to want (o see Fisk that day on some important businsss. Peter knew of the high regard Fisk find far John Morrisey, and the latter was in the habit, when he called at the Erie building, of walking into Fisk’s office unannounced and without ceremony. On this day he was passing, when the tbree-foot-and-n-half office boy rose up and told the Congressman that he couldn’t pass. “flow’s that?” said Morrissey. “Mr. Fisk is busy and can’t see any body,’’ replied Peter Donohue. “He’ll see me,” said Morrissey. “No, hegwon’t,” insisted the boy. The persistence of the boy rather nettled the ex prize fighting states man, and be said testily and taking a step toward the door: “Do you know who I am?” “Yes,” said Peter coolly; “you’re John MorrisseyP’ “Well,” said Mr. Morrissey, “I guess Mr. Fisk will see me.” With that he swept the diminutive office boy aside and strode toward the door. His hand was on the knob, but he did not turn it. Peter Dono hue sprang on the broad back of the former athlete and climbed up it like a monkey. He threw his arm around Morrissey’s neck and gave it squeeze that shut the big man’s wind off, and forced him to give all of his attention to freeing himself from the determin ed office boy’s grasp. He finally sue ceeded, but when the novel struggle was over the office boy stood again between the Congressman and Fisk’* door. “Mr. Fisk gave me orders to let nobody in there,” exclaimed Peter, “and you can’t go in. That’s all there is about it.” Morrissey’s anger quickly gave way to admiration of the boy’s pluck and faithfulness, and, laughing heard ly over his defeat, he went away. He told Fisk next day about his cn counter with Peter and how the latter had “downed him.” Nothing in all of Fisk’s remarkable career ever plea* ed him so much as the “mill,” as he called it betwen Morrissey and Dono hue.

As was btifcfly remarked in jester day’s paper, Jake Menko was in fowD on ruesday. But the bate anuouuca ment did not convey the fact that Jake was all brokeu up. He looked dazed, as though overcome by some great calamity from which he had not fully recovered. The fact is—let it be broken gent ly to his friends—that Jake for once iiihis life had been paralyzed. He had attempted to take in the grand new Ponce de Leon hotel at St Augustine, Fla., and had been taken in himself. Now, Jake i.t uo sard'ne and we must acknowledge that the cards were badly stacked against him. With a friend from Albany and another from Valdosta, together with theirfaoiilies*.* represen ting, Jake said, a hundred thousand dollars each, while ho didn’t represent a cent—he thought he was pretty sul id until he got into the front yard of the hotel, where he found thirteen fountains playing, with au orange, a mango and a marmalade tree be tween each. Thirteen is an unlucky number, and that many fountains threw a great deal more wafer than Mr. Menko ever thought was nee essary. To couvey some idea of the size of the hotel, suffice it to say that it covers five acres of ground, and that if the Kimball House, of Atlanta, and the Lanier House and Academy of Music, of Micot, were put in the froDt yard you would not notice them unless you stumbled over them among the children’s play things. Entering through eight glass doors, which flow open as scon as they put their feet on tho top steps, tkoy were received by sight clsrks, cashiers, &c., each of whose business was to tell them that, they had tack led tho wrong man and to refer them to tho next. Finally Col. Menko found tho man with the largest dia mond, and with his usual saDg froid he said: “I suppose you make tho usual re ductions to commercial travelers?” Cold and keen the atewer came: “This hotel was not built for com roeicial travelers, sill” Jake Menko fell fainting into the arms of bis friends, as if he had been struck by a Dakota blizzrrd. Never hid a commercial traveler received such an answer before in all the ex perience of himself or his numerous friends. In order to brace him up a littlei his friends proposed that thev take a little luncheon. Jake said he bad eaten a lunch before Ijts of time, both in e and otherwise, but he thought he would iii.c sto what a regular : (poire out “luncheon” was. ! When h through he insisted np on paying for if, and that little extra 8) liable cost him just fifteen dollars. In the < fiiee of this magnificent eJifice''- ■: forty two thousand dollar clock ti n plays a tune eyery time it strikes, audit strikes the cpiarter hours. Every time it struck, too, our party saw the cashier put a dol lar extra charge on the bill of every man in the office for music. At night there was a grind ball and the geutlemcn thought they would eacort the ladies of the party to it AucorcliDgiy tbey bracked np and Jake buttoned up his handsome j diagonal Biince . Albert ... . and . headed , , , .... the oartv in. when man met them a ' and tola them they ouid ,, not enter. J Well. I guess 0 we can. raid Col. i xtenko; , we are guests ... of the house ! and are eoliLled lo all it, privilege,, j It don’t make anv difference, you can’t come in here unless yon have on a swallow tarf. Not baviug any swuliow tails in their valises and it being a bad night • to catch swallows, they found some friends with split coats who escol t ed their ladies in, while they hung around the door and listened to the music as Jake 6aid, “like a lot of nig gers who couldn’t gat in the circus.” There are thirty bands playing dur fbgtho t.ay on the outside of the ho tel and the same number inside, and they were till playing at night for the ball. So on tiring of hanging on by their eyebrows in this way, our friends thought they would go down and take a drink They seem lo hare been a little late iu coming to this determination, but they finally got there. They found a bar room with a bar of white marblo yard wide and stretch ing ns far as from Uncle Bill An dre*>a‘ to the Nelms House, aud all in one piece. They rapped soveraj times but no one came. Presently Jake espied au electric button and touched it. and the cashier came out of a box that they hadn’t noticed and asked them what they would have, They called for three whiskey straights.which au attendant brought them, nDd it was seventy five cents. Jake thought it was ahuut time for him to set ‘cm np again and called for cigars. What kind will you have ? Ob, carelessly, give us the best you have got—but, by the way, how much will it be; you might as well take the money now. Dollar and a half. Jake tried to compromise on ‘‘straight tens,” but they had noth ing for less than a cpiarter. He was not surprised afterward to find that the receipts of the bar were from $400 to $1,400 a day. The party heard the proprietor, who is v;ce president of the Stand Oil Company, talking to some friends who asked him how ho came to build such a hotel. Ob, he said, it was a hobby of mine, mj income is seven millions a year and this has so fa i only cost a little over half a year's in come. But I am not through yet. I expect to spend thirty thousand ex tra on preparations for Cleveland’s visit. Mr. Menko and his friends stopped at tho hotel less than a wtc-k, hut bis own legitimate itemized expene os—such as he could charge to the house—were $195. This does not include drink* and cigars. While Jake is not the kind of man to care for expei. s, at the same time ho will not take iii the Ponce de Leon every trip.

Bridegroom of SfTenty*flv** Who Used Ilia Muscle toGood Effect. Coxneixsviixe, Pa-, Feb. 2*2,—A few nights ago Levi D. Stevc-ns, aged seventy five, a well known eiti zen of Washington township, this county, was married to Mrs. Amanda tSteveus, widow of the bridegroom’s broth or. A large party of young tuen wont to the residence of the brido und groom and with tin horns, pans, horse fiddles and other discord ant implements proceeded to give the couple a serenade. After it had lasted a half hour the bridegroom appeared at a window and told his eerenaders that he had no animosity toward them and appreciated their attentions, but nn'oss they went away within lea minutes ho would come out and inflict such chastise ment as would be eminently appro priate. The band greeted the old gentleman’s remarks and warning with a howl of derision and began to play. Promptly on the expira tion of the ten minutes grace the front door of the residence opened and the groom catue forth. He was gr< eted enthusiastically. His first acknowledgment of the salute was to seizj the leader of the band, jerk from iis hand the tin horn he was performing on, and plant his fist be tween tbs leader’s eyes. The leader went down and stayed down. Then the blissful bridegroom, as is descrih ed by oue of the serenaders who ear ly in the game took a fence, swept I the tin horn right and left aud two more of the serecaders went down like reeds before the wind. But tho tin horn wa3 mined. Then the bridegroom's dander rose. He clutch ed a youth who had some local repu tation as a knocker out and doer up, hut on this occasion was developing surprising talent as u horse fiddle virtuoso. He clutched this youth, and, before the youth had time to bring into play his talent as a slug ger, raised him clear off the ground and hutled him bodily against a sur prised but previously noisy yoang man who had been throwing his soul on tho t veiling air through the me ilium of a large stick and tin can j The collision bore good testimony ! to the earnestness and sincerity of’ the hridtgloom, for the retreat of 1 on- of the p.ities to it was retarded somewhat i j a painful and emphatic ! limp, while it e oilier paity to it was IxM-ft if wind b) the contact and, pi/ i • .. ;:•» w're uiiuost over before lit ’ l> ck n ub to y 11 4 M;urdfi“ wii ■ . o uni outi!' , and as if he im : t; IB i ,i> time ihe ns yet •if.
