THE CoMET.-Whil looking for this
distinguished stranger, cup aloft," the
other night, man accosted us, (whom
we did not remember to have seen be-
fore,) and wanted to know the result of
our observations. We told him that
the comet was visible, and in what di-
rection Of the heavens to look for it. He
then asked us if we thought it would
strike as. w told him that it was our
opinion that lightning or the comet
would strike some man before the year
was out. Our subscriber, for such he
proved to be, asked us into the nearest
store, and with blood in his eye and
misery depicted in his coutenance, told
us that he owed for four years of the
Advocate which he wished to settle for,
and pay one year in advance. We gave
him receipt in .faH which he placed
near mis- heart, probably as non-con-
ductor to lightning and comets, and left
US with a smile on his countenance and
to all appearances a changed and
happy man. We have a few

We at first attributed the
renee of such a marriage to the fact that
Greedy was already a married man, but
the Galena Courier, whose editor is con-
yersant with the circumstances, dis
approves Greely's statement. The Cou-
rier says:
This certainly is q most remarkable

Although the father of the lady was

pose of co-habiting with a negro, he
found it to be IN exceedingly difficult
matter to become reconciled to. This
is a single instance, which we doubt not
the Tribune remembers, and it would
not be a difficult matter, we presume, to
cite others. The doctrines taught by
the long-haired and curly-haired pro-

Mr. NEcEIrafIa'S Failure

The Baltimore Rcpnbficon thus al
ludes to the failure of Mr.. McElrath, of
the New York Tribune:
Mr.. McElrath, of the New York Trib-
me, whom our correspondent referred
to some days since as having failed. was
in 1889 a Whigmembcr of the Assembly
from New York city. He was a lawyer
by profession, but, having little practice,
Greeley easily induced him in 1912 to
become the financial partner of the TriJ-
me, when in its infancy, with a great
deal of editorial talent, but with very little
business ability to offset the proverbial
hcedlcssness of Greeley. This copart-
nershipproved an excellent arrangement.
McElrath, a tight Scotchman, was just
the man to hold the purse-Grcely the
man to fill it. The Tribune became
rich McElrath accumulated a fortune,
Independent of the establishment, by
saving and investing at the best advan-
tage his large dividends. The briefess
lawyer in time got into a Wall-street
bank parlor-first as a director merely,
and subsequently as presidcnt-a place
among the rich men of New York"
and was estimated to be worth a quarter
of a million. The report alluded to
above seems to show that even the cau-
ton that usually goes with Scotch greed
is not always proofs against the allure
ments which have brought to ruin SO
many financial Adventures of more cx-
citable temperaments.
