“How’s ¥onr Family?”
[The San Franciscan.]
Jlfc now the time of year when the sym-
politician takes the voter affect ion*
ately by the hand and says, “How’s your

treatment of him by Jay Gould. He met
the “little giant” in Exchange place, New
York city, and, lifting bi n over the iron
railing, dropped him uug*ntly into an area
uear Now street. Mr. Gould’s strength b
mental, not muscular; he can cope with the
whole 8took Kxchaugo in its natural arena,
but is hardly a match for the smallest mem
ber in a *eufflo. He didn’t like 8ilover'*
methods of settling accounts, and wLely
took steps to prevent u repetition. When

Delmonico’s on ball nights i* a cockney and j
as erratic in the use of the letter “h” as the |

1 Adden. and Mr. Appleton would hear him
self frequently announced as Mr. Happleton.
