Bet-Better-Iscst.

0ne SUNNI evening, last year, We were
costly seated in one OF those arm chairs at
uhe Clinton Hotel, smoking one of the pro-
prietor's best segars, conversing with friend
IP--, of Long Island, when he asked us
whether we ever heard of a bet that was
slRade by two young gentlemen who We're
seated on a former occasion in about the
same place which we then occupied.
No. we replied "what was the bet q
There was two young fellows made a
tbct, and just then Mr. Hodges, who kept
the hotel at that time, was coming down
Beekman street, one of them said
Mr.. Hodges, we have just made bet
which we will leave to your decision. The
tbet amounts to only two bottles of cham
lpaign which we will drink day at dim
ller, provided you will charge it to which
lever you shall decide has lost, and you must
join us in drinking the winc.'
q" | am agreed" replied Hodges.
You understand the management, dis
ttinctly, do you?"
".Yes-yes. am to charge the two bot
sles to whichever loses ?"
eyes, that's it; and we will pay you
tas soon as you decide the bet, which had
Ibetter be decided Immediately after dinner
The dinner came off at the usual hour,
bthe wine was drank, and Mr.. Hodges, who
had joined them at the table, became some
what impatient, and asked what the bet
was.
"R-- has bet me that when Dr.
Springs church steeple, opposite, falls, it
will be in the direction of East river; and
/ have bet him that it won't. When you
decide who has lost, he will pay"
The amazed landlord looked at the party,
shook his head, laughingy threatened to pay
them off for the article they had sold him,
and sloped. The wine was never charged to
either of the young men.

Governor Pollock, of Pennsylvania,

Governor Pollock, of Pennsylvania, by
vrefusing to sign the Erie and Northeast
xailroad bill, which compelled break Of
gauge at Erie, defeated the object Of the
Legislature, and the matter is not yet def
4nitely adjusted, If the Pennsylvania legs-
latps dees somp1E ch1nge S Socs of cars ss
.assuredly, prove fatal to her own railway
interests, for trade and travel will be forced
into other channels. The Canada route
would become the great east and west
thoroughfare, most assuredly. Governor
Pollock acted wisely in killing the bad bill,
and in no distant day when the people of
the state come TO their senses, they will ap-
prove of his course and probably allow d
continuous line of the Lake Shore railroad
through Erie county.-[San. Reg.

Mr.. Park, the editor of the Luminary at
Parkville, Missouri, whose office was de-
stroyed by the liberty loving mob of Atchi-
son democrats lately, was, it seems, origi-
aally from Grafton, Vermont. He was pur-
suing his studies at the college at Springfield
Illinois, when the war broke out between
Texas and Mexico in 1896. He took
part in it, and was at the battle of San Ja-
cinto, under Houston, He afterwards took
part in the Indian war against the Conan
ches. Mr.. Park is evidently man of edu
cation, as we'll as courage and enterprise. -
The town that bears his name owes its
growth and business advantages to his fore
sight and public spirit He built ware
houses, tavern, dwelling houses, establish
ed the telegraph line, printing press, and
was foremost in all good works. Like all
men of personal enterprise, he was friend
of human freedom, and that marked him as
a victim. He must be driven out from his
home and away from his property. We do
not feel like indulging in levity, but this
was bad driUe for the slave-drivers. The
abetters and perpetrators will live to repent
this outTage.-LO. S. Jour.

Arrest of Lewis Baker.

The following is copy OF letter adj
dressed TO Judge Stuart, giving narration
of the voyage of the Grape Shot and the ar
rest of the murderer of the notorious Bill
Poole. 1t must prove exceedingly gratifying
to Judge Stuart, that the responsibility he
assumed in chartering the Grape Shot to
pursue the flying criminal has been sustain
ed by such complete success. Bakers return
produced an intense excitement in New
York. and his friends are accused Of having
planned a rescue ; but he is safe in the
tombS:
New YoRK, May IS, l955.-SlR The
clipper ship Grape Shot, Capt. Richard
Hepburn, arrived at the city of Palmas,
Island of Gran Canaria, on Saturday, April
n, and came to anchor in the harbor under
the lee of the fort. The Isabella Jewett had
not arrived, but came on the 18th Of April,
the clipper 10 days before. After taking in
water and making all necessary preparat tions
to intercept the Jewctt, we weighed anchor
and for several days stood off and on the
harbor On Tuesday we espied the Jewett
under the land standing toward the city of
Palmas; we made all sail and on nearing
her requested her captain to back her fore
topsail he did so and the deputation man.
ned one of our boats, rOwed to the brig and
found Baker on board, whom we discovered
at the wheel. Previous TO the arrival of the
brig, we had seen the local authorities who
stated their willingness to aid us in securing
Baker they however had no chance of aid
ing in his arrest, as it was made by the depu-
taton of the police that sailed from New
York in the Grape Shot. AS we approached
the vessel, Baker went forward and stood
looking at us and wondering who we were
and what we wanted, little thinking we
were in pursuit of him. We boarded the
vessel, and as we jumped upon her deck
Baker started for the cabin but was inter
cepted by us. He recognized several of us,
calling us by name. We arrested him and
took him with his effects on board the
Grape Shot. We then sailed for New York
A state room was prepared for HIM, and he
was made as comfortable as circumstances
would permit; he is now enjoying excel
lent health. We left the island of Gran
Canaria Oh the 18th of April.
The following are the names of the police
forming the deputation sent out for the arrest
of Baker Joseph Leamans, S. r. Thorne,
Lorenzo ID. Place, Thomas Barton, Henry
Evans, George Green, f. B. Brush, and
Michael Maloney.
