A. nlepsms..---A ar..i ssns.tis. In the
| sixth ward. ~
Quite an excitement has been created ON the east
side of ths town, on the eoPemcnt Of the gay and
pretty Miss 500 -, Of East Broadway, with
one ofthe officers ofthe Mont gomery Light Guards
ofths city. We remember the lady we-we have
seen her often. The last time was at the Erins
Ball, where through the may dance her beauty was
the general theme of admiration. In her eyes there
was witchery. Hrt loutHffI
"Ofher dark eyes, twere vain to tell,
But gaze upon that Of the gazelle,
Twill assist thy fancy welL"
The plan ofthe elopement was well laid, and de-
| serves to be noticed there was c'rcumstance
connected with it that was laughable the lady's
house used be the resort of many young men, fond
admirers Of the " goddess that reigned there" On
Sunday evening the went out with her favored one,
as usual, to take walk, as the old folks thought;
but, in truth, she and her lover wended their way
to the Minister'S, with few friends, where the
interesting ceremony was performed that placed
the lovely under the protection OF the gal
| liant soldier He has won the gem-let him wear it:
"The brave alone deserve the fair
She returned not to her parents, but to her own
house, that had been prepared for her And there
she now reigns, the Queen
"Of all she surveys"
During her absence from her parents house, there
was couple of young men, one collector OF one
Of our wards, and hot politician, and one Of her
greatest admirers, talking politics to the cid cou-
ple on the relative claims OF Van Buren, and Hsr-
rson to the Presidential chair and snxiously wait
inc for the return of herthe cause Of their visit
But she came not. At the time they were waiting
for her she was playing the wife" at her own
bouxe O. the stratagem Of women! As to the Col
lector, he is an altered man. This makes the third
time he has been Tilted. Little does the fair one
think since her elopement, he has been best de him

"Ofafections crushed within"
The happy couple, we understand, started at hve
o'clock yesterday morning for Long Branch to while
away the feetng hours, dream of paradise, and to
sip of the cup of luxury, while the sea breeze is
blowing the rim glets from her crimson face. 1t is
belle ed that they have been engaged some time
"That she was the lady of his love
Before she was his bride"
HINTS TO OFrIcn SEEKERs-pIvIsIsN OF THE
srorLs-It seems pity to disturb the complacen-
cy with which the Young Mems Wing Committee,
and those who follow the lead Of that delectable boz
dy of plundering managers, regard their arrange
ments for enjoying the Offices under Gen. Harrison;
but it will be an act of kindness to break the fact to
them by degrees, aud let them know their precise
position, before they have made any sacrifices, pre-
paratory to entering upon their official duties. In
the first place, it strikes rather premature to
apportion out the Offices at this early day; but as
the wings all profess the utmost confidence in the
of Gen. Harrison, the expecants can all en-
Joy their berths in anticipation, whereas very
small proportion only have them in reality. In
regard to the tive most important offices IN the city,
the Collector and District Attorney, the arrange
ments are perfect and de6nitive; and MIR. Wet
more, DIR. Bowen, Mr.. Blatchford, and all others
OF that ilk whose mouths have long been watering
for snack at the Treasury crib, may as well aban
don the field voluntarily as be driven from it in dis
grace. They cannot have either Of these Offices,
any how. They both bespoke for other and bet
ter men. In case of the election of Gen. Harrison,
Ogden Hoff nan is to be District Attorney, and Ed
ward Curtis, Collector.
The thing is settled, and all attempts to prevent
the contamination of the arrangement will prove
abor,ivs,
As to the other off ces here all portioned out,
and most Of them to half a dozen different individ
uals but no positive understanding has taken place
in respect to any Of them. Mr.. Stillweii can have
the Post Office, il he wishes it, but he has his eye
on different station, aad does not desire it.. COL
Stone hopes to obtain the sfce of Minister to the
Hague and he intends 70 blend with the Historical
mission to Deutschland, but as Mr.. Senator Downing
said, when the wings asked him to vote against his
party, the thing is impractibe and can't be did =
Col. Webb wants the appointment Of Charge to
some foreign Court, but it will be very easy mat
ter to convince Gen Harrison and his cabinet, IL he
ever has opportunity to select one that Webb is
like the small pox, capital thing when you have
done with him.
How. LEVI BsArpsLsy.-Thc political position
and bias OF this gentleman at the present time, is
subject of warm dispute between the democrats and
wings of this city. Mr. Beardsley is gentleman of
nigh standing, of extensive political influence, and
has for long time held prominent place in the
democratic party. He was for eight years a NOM
Der Of the state senate OF which body he at
time the presiding officer. He has heretofore uni
formly acted with the democrats but in 1887 he part
cpated in those feelings Of dstrust ofhe subtreasu
(which we're openly manifested by Gov. Marcy,
Mr.. Crcswell, and many others Of the prominent
men Of the party. Having lost large amoust Of
property by the revulsion which necessarily fol-
lowed the imitation OF 1886, Mr.. Bcardsley has very
naturally had his doubts OF the principles Of the adj
miustratior, but like many other honest men in q
similar situation, has felt a strong reluctance to
break with his old associates, and went without
openly manfcsting his Interpretation. On his visit
to this city, he went TO Tippecauoe meeting at the
Howard House, without intending to take any part
in the proceedings, but merely as a spectator
