BURNING OF STEAMER AT PHnADEh-
pHrA-A YOUNG LADY SUPPOSED TO HAVE
PER ED.-Philadelphia, Nov. 22.-ihe
steamer City of Bridgeton burned to the
waters edge at 2 O'Clock this morning at
her wharf, above Market street. The steam
er arrived about II O'Clock last night VIII
some seventy passengers and large amount
of freight. Owing to the lateness of the
hour many passengers remained on board
until the breaking out of fire, which com.
menced in the galley. The steamer was a
large sde-wheel freight and passenger boat,
about three years old, owned by a company
at Bridgeton, n. j., between which place
and this city she formerly made tri-weekly
trips. The loss is estimated at S65, 900, upon
which there is no insurance.
Only one passenger of the steamer is miss
ins-a Miss Bacon, of Bridgeton. She has
not been seen since the boat landed, but
may have escaped.

FORTY MILES WITH WHEELBARROw on
AN ELECTION BET.-The New. York Com
mercial Advertiser, of Monday afternoon,
says: -.-...,s. -...- .". a-..
Among the many ridiculous wagers on
the recent election was one between John
C. Paulding, of Yonkers, and D. M. Conk-
ling, of Peekskill. The latter agreed that
if Wooiford failed to be elected he would
wheel bag of flour from the New York
custom-house to Peekskill. If WooKord
was elected, Conkling was to do the same
feat.
This morning Paulding arrived at the
custom-house with his friends. The wheel
barrow was made light, and is handsomely
painted blue, with yellow stripes. The
bag was strapped to it, and so balanced that
little or no weight rested upon the hands
of the man. A light wagon drawn by two
horses preceded him, containing ID. NJ.
Conkling and Joseph Hudson. postmaster
of Yonkers. .,..
The route was up Broadway, through
Seventh avenue, into Westminster county,
and along the old State road. Mr. Pauid.
ing intends arriving at Yonkers this evening
sbout O'Clock. He expects to reach
Peekskill by Thursday. Upon his arrival
at Peekskill grand dinner will be served
up, to which the magnates of Westminster
county have all been invited, irrespective
Of party. ...-.... s.. ass-

Printers Devils.

Miss Piney W. Forsythe, who
is practical printer herself, has
the following happy and appropri-
ate notice of so-called printers
devils:
"a great many persons are in
the habit of looking upon and
speaking OF printers devils in a
manner that reflects no credit up
on themselves. Those same prin-
ters, in nine cases out of ten, are
three times as well posted on the
issues of the day as the persons
who speak of them. There is no
class Of boys for whom we have a
more profound respect than we'll
behaved printers devils. They
know something, and are practical,
which is more than you can say
of all classes of boys. Young wo-
men, before you again elevate,
get some one who knows some
thing OF history to tell you the
men Of character that were once
printers devils" d1

Proprietor.
The Cure of the Drunk
ard.

A man long noted for intemper
ance was induced by the Rev
John Abbot, to sign a pledge ''ir
his own way" which he did il
these words:
Il pledge myself to drink nc
more intoxicating liquors for one
year"
Few believed he could keep it
but near the end OF the year he
again appeared at a temperance
meeting without having touched
a drop.
"Are you going to sign again %
asked Mr.. Abbot"
"Yes; if l can do it in my own
way" replied he. And according
ly he wrote:
81 sign this pledge for nine hun
dred and ninety-nine years, and
if | live till that time, / intend to
take out life lease"
A few days after he called up
on the tavern-keeper, who well
coined him back to his old haunt.
"Oh ! landlord" said he, as if
in pain, Il have such lump on
my side !"
"That's because you've stopped
drinking" said the landlord, "you
won't live long if you keep on.
"Will drink take the lump a.
way?
''Yes; and if you don't drink
you'll have one on the other side.
Come, let's drink together and
he poured out two glasses of whis-
ky,
Il guess | won't drink" saii the
former inebriate, especially if
keeping the pledge will bring an.
other lump; for it isn't very hard
to bear, after all : and with this
he drew the lump--a roll of green
backs-from his side pocket, and
walked of--leaving the landlord
to his sad reflection.

The Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Times tells the
following anecdote of Gen. But
Ter: There are men who say he
is INSCRIPTIONS. A good thing is
told Of him in this direction. A
year or two ago during the dis
cussion of a tariff bill, when the
paragraph on bunting was reached,
tits said that Butler arose to high
er flights (of eloquence) than
were ever reached by our proud
American bird; that be apoStro-
phized Yankee Doodle with gran
diloquent emphasis; that he stig-
matized it as an outrage and burn
ing shame that we should be COM
PEELED to buy the very bunting
typical of our glory of the mon
arches of Europe; therefore, he
proposed out of gushing love for
the Yankee eagle and the
flag of our Fourth of July, to
double, aye quadruple the duty,
if necessary, to protect our glori-
|ous bunting manufactures. The
effect was electrical. His prcpo-
sitipn carried. Joke: He oao,sed
the only bunting manutactory IN
the United States.

An Astonished Court.

A few days ago, says the New Or
leans Pfcdyure, an old lady and a
| young one found themselves in
Court charged with disturbing the
peace. The officers statement
was clearly given, and certainly
disclosed an equal culpability in
both. 1t was evident, however,
that the Court inclined a favora-
BILE judgment to the youngest,
and the scales of justice were
rapidly tipping in her favor,
"Why did you abuse this young
lady?" the magistrate demanded
of the old one.
81 had right to-" was the
calm reply.
"What was she doing?"
"Keeping company with avery
improper character"
Sand what is that to your"
"She's my daughter"
"Oh, indeed! and you think
the person was an improper char
acter?"
81 do, sir"
"Do you know who he was?"
81 don't know his name. I've
seen him frequently prowling a.
round after night"
And then, as if actuated by a
sudden impulse, the old lady ad-
justed her spectacles, peered caG-
tiously at the Court from under
her great sun bonnet, and then
exclaimed:
Good lackl good lack! Why,
you are the man.
"Me! mel" exclaimed the as
tonished Court. "Me! woman,
did you say me?"
Again the spectacles were ad-
justed, and the curious gaze pro-
longed, while the old lady nodded
her head at intervals.
Eyes, yes, it's the same ugly
face. I'm sure of it; but I'll for
give you this time; I'll forgive
you And the old lady hobbled
away, leaving the Court gasping
with astonishment, and unable TO
interpose an objection to her de-
parture.

e@ After it is too late to pro-
tect them against fraud, many of
our people learn the importance
of putting seal after their sig
nature, when attached 10 a pro-
missory note. When there is no
seal, and the note is transferred to
a third party before it becomes
due, the maker thereof can offer
no defence in law against its pay
ment, no matter that he may have
paid mostof it to the second par
ty or been wholly swindled in the
consideration for which it was
given. But a seal following his
signature, no matter in whose
hands he may find his note, Sc
cures to the giver thereof the
right to prove full or part pay
ment thereof, or the want of con-
sideration therefor. Patent right
men, particularly If they are on
the swindle, in selling a thing
that is not patented, or patented
thing, to which they have no right
whatever, are always anxious to
get notes on time without seals,
SO that they can readily dispose
of them for whatever they will
Ering, making a very large dis
count to get the money. A seal
protects against this transaction,
and every one giving notes ought
to know just what he is doing.
A little caution in this matter may
protect against sharp practice, but
can hurt no honest man,

A Brave Man.

In the Louisville Courier Jour
nal of Friday, Governor Steven.
son printed a short card, in which
he said he never used the Bur-
bridge recommendation to injure
Senator McCreery; that he ac-
knowledged the errors of his
young manhood and has atoned
for them by thirty-two years of
good conduct, and concluded thus
"a duel | Twill not fight. For
more than thirty years | have been
a professor of the Christian reli-
gion. / am now chief magistrate
of the State. Nothing can In
Idnce me to stab Christianity or
trample upon the majesty of pub
lie laws which | am sworn to up
hold" Brave and noble words
these, and uttered by one who
comes of fighting stock and whose
personal courage is Deyond ques-
ton. We fully agree with the
Cleveland Herald that the avow-
al we have quoted, demanded
more courage than would a dozen
duels. For such a man, of his
social and political position, to
make such an avowal in the South,
and in Kentucky especially,
where the code has been recog-
nized to its full extent, argues a
great change of sentiment, not on.
" in the man himself. but in the
community of which he is dis
tinguished and honored member.
u All honor to Governor Steven
son for this manly act. u
