THE LAST SENSATION IN New YORK.
The New York correspondent of the
Newark On. J) Advertiser tells this sto-
ry: Among the local sensations just
now is runaway affair, the young lady
being Fifth avenue school girl, and the
gay Lothario' clerk in downtown
lawyers Office. He met her often with
her books, and carried them out of po-
likeness. Their intimacy in this wise
grew into love, and, fearing their parents
would not consent, they went to an ele-
giant hotel near Union square, and, in
stead of following. the directions of her
teacher, she obeyed the Instructions OF
an Episcopalian clergyman. At the ac-
customed hour she returned to her home,
and only after ten days, when her pa
rents objected to the visits of the youth,
full barrister, did she disclose her mar
riage. Naturally, her parents were in
dignant, and then she was equally re.
solved, and went with her boy-husband
to his parents house. Her father is a
man of great wealth, at the head of a
large dry-goods house, and as yet no rec
onciliation has been accomplished. DIR,
D of Trinity church was applied to,
to see if the marriage could not be can.
celled, but without avail. The clergy
man who oficiated is greatly blamed for
uniting pair of children in matrimony
without manifesting any doubts or hest
fancy aboat the act"

A RAILROAD HURDLE RAcE.-On Fri
day morning a singular accident occur
red ON the Erie railroad. The day ex-
press for Buffalo, when approaching Mid
dletown, and travelling twenty miles an
hour, was thrown from the track by
misplaced switch. Dashing along over
the sleepers for distance of two hun
bred feet the engine finally struck an
iron frog, and was violently placed once
more on the rails of a side track, having
In this distance crossed two sets of inter-
vening rails. The tender and all the
cars, five in number. followed the engine,
and when the terrified passengers came
rushing out, the train was all prepared
to run back to switch and be transfer
red to the main line. The engineer and
fireman had charge of the engine, one of
the finest, who feel quite proud of this
well performed feat of hurdle jumping"
No injury was suffered by person or prop
erty, and but ten minutes time was lost.

Congressman Drawing Lots.

congressman Drawing LOTS
The House of Representatives recently
amused itself by new distribution of
seats, occupying three or four hours in
that entertainment. All the members
had to withdraw outside of the magma
ry bar of the house, and the clerk then
commenced drawing from box in which
the name of every representative and
delegate had been placed As each
name was announced the owner of it
hastily surveying the vacant seats made
selection and occupied it. Mr.. Brom-
well of Illinois had to-day the first choice,
and he selected seat in the outer row.
Mr.. Sypher, one Of the Louisiana men,
bers, had the next pick, and took the
seat formerly occupied by Thaddeus Ste
vens, but he afterwards handsomely gave
it up to Mr.. Dickey, who is Mr.. Stevens
successor Mr.. Woodbridge of Vermont
had the third choice, and took his old
seat. The next was N. p. Banks, but
the general was not present and the
House would not let anyone else select
seat for him. Z. B. Washburne, who,
by the old courtesy, should have been
permitted to retain his seat as the :" IA
Their of the House" was fortunate enough
to be draw before anyone else had pre-
empted his favorite location Gen. But
Ter was left out in the cold until all the
good seats on the republican side had
been taken, so he had to go over among
the democrats, receiving rounds of APP
plause as he went. He took John Nor
rissey's seat next to Mr. Jenckes of
Rhode Island, who has always had to sit
on that side. The Massachusetts men
were generally among those called late,
and Messrs. Boutwell, and Elliot had to
take seats in the next row to the outside
one, and MIR. Hooper to go among the
democrats.
1t was noticed that the southern MEM
bers were nearly all among those drawn
early, and consequently NEST of them
have got very eligible seats. After the
drawing had proceeded about five min
utes motion was made to give Ex-Gov-
ernor Thomas of Maryland his old seat.
There was at first some objection, but
the motion finally prevailed. Mr. Schenck
was one of the last drawn, and has got
very poor seat. Messrs. Logan and
Washburn of Wis, and several other
prominent men were absent, and will
have to take back seats where they can
find them. Mr.. Mullin of Tennessee
was one of the earliest drawn, and took
his old seat right in front of the Speak
er, running nimbly down the aisles and
executing a sort of Indian war dance
before taking his seat, whereat everybody
roared with laughter The old group of
great men about the middle of the re-
publican side, consisting of Messrs.
Schenck, Washburne, Dawes, Butler,
Garfield, Wilson, Boutwell,, Paine, Lo-
gan, Allison and others, is all broken up
and scattered in various parts of the
chamber. Mr.. Ross, who moved for
new deal, was next to the last man
drawn, and was most uproariously laugh
ed at by everybody, because his new seat
is worse than his old one
