To ihe EditOr Of The Tribune.
SIR: In your editorial of Saturday, May 81,
on "Tammany Republicans" you do the Eleventh Ward
O great injustice. You say:
Complaints made In this city that less iustiable
means were resOTted to. In one district OF the Eleventh
Ward Mr. Foger gets votes, while his companions ON
tbe ticket get IS votes each This result was accom-
plished by scratching off his name from the Republican
ballots delivered from the ticket boxes OF the party ~
is charged that the President Of the Republican District
AssOcjation who is gauger In the CustonhOnse, was
pryy 10 this arrangement One of the Inspectors III s
district also holds place in the CuslOn-HOnse Whlle
another is convicted VOatOr OF the Internal revenue
laws.
To which we have say: First, In regard to giving
Mr. Foger 40 votes, 1t is clerical mistake From pa
pers the undersigned retained clearly prove That
Mr. Foger received votes in the Twenty rst Dstrct
Of the Eleventh Ward Second, The President OF the e-
nublican District Association knew nothing about the
mistake Third None OF the Inspectors holds place IN
the Custom House. and OF them Is convicted vio-
lator of the Internal Revenue laws.

The Pie Boy who Became a Prince.

THE first Prince MenschikOff was q
/ pie boy at Moscow, and was delivering
things at a nObleman's kitchen one day
when Gar Peter the Great was expected
to dine at the house, While waiting
about, he overheard the uobleman give
special direction for the preparation of
favOrite dish Of the Cars and after
ward, while the cook was absent, the
boy saw him place something in q dish
which he believed to be poison.
As soon as MenSchikoh saw the Gar
in the street he cried out his rolls more
loudly than usual, and even began to
sing, aud approached the Car to make
himself some questions to which he an
swered so happily that the Prince said, 4
will keep thee in my service Mensehi-
kof accepted the offer with Joy. At
dinner time, without orders, he entered
the banquet hall, and stood behind Pc
ter. When the dish appeared, he bent
down and whispered mot to touch Of it,
Peter gOt-up, and, with smiling face,
made pretense to IKE the boy into an
adjOurning apartment, when Menschi-
kOf explained his suspicion.
Upon the Gar returning to the table,
the BOyard again offered the dish, and
Peter asked him to sit by his side and
partake with him. The noble cOlored.
and said 1t became not a subject to eat
the same as the Emperor, who seeing
his embarrassment, took the plate and
offered it to.a dog, who swallowed all its
contents. But a few moments afterward
it began to run and howl, then staVger-
ed, fell and soon expired. The BOyard
was secured, but next morning was
found dead in his bed.
Menschikof had not to sell rolls any
longer; the first step to his rapid for
tune was made, and his descendants are
2 most powerful family in Russia to
this day.

after taking off my blouse.
Charles had procured a post-carriage
under pretense of going to the race al
Cambria. We reached Valencennes
without difficulty, where took the rail-
way.
I had obtained a Belgian passport,
but it has nowhere been asked for. Dur
ing this time Conneau, always so de-
voted, remained in prisen, and gave out
that I was i'll, so as to give me time to
reach the frontier.
4 hope he will not have been ill-treat-
ed; that would be, as you may suppose,
great grief for me.
But, my dear NJ. DegeOrge, if l eX-
perienced a lively sentiment Of JOY
when I found myself outside the fort
ress, / was very sadly impressed on
passing the frontier; the certainty that
the Government would never set me at
liberty unless 1 consented to dishOnOT
myself, was necessary to decide me to
quit France; finally it was necessary
that 1 should be urged to this step by
the desire Of trying all means 70 console

myself very unfortunate. Be assured OF

Court getting impatient at the wit

| til the arrival of the rear, that column
would have been 40 files in width, oecu.
pying a roadway of 20 feet, and extend
| ing for 163 miles in a dense unbroken
phalanX. IF the little human beings
whose arrival, welcome or unwelcOme,
causes so much anxiety and hustle in
more than three hundred London homes
within every twenty-four hours, were
borne to the city by their nurses, as the
neOHdti in Italy are borne, through ev-
cry inclemency of weather to the
churches within q few hours of birth, it
would require a train conveying fifty
nurses, each carrying baby, to arrive
daily at six of the main railway stations
From the four other principal stations
with equal punctuality, would daily be
dispatched the grim convoy of fifty eOf-
fins. How little does the habituaI resi-
dent of London see of the 200 daily fU-
nerals To accommodate the perma-
nent daily increase in the metropolitan
population of 120 souls, we require the
daily erection, from foundation to roof,
of seventeen houses at least, two of
which must be furnished with stables.
Were these houses erected in a single
line, that line would run a mile into the
country in the course of q fortnight, and
an observer at the distance of the moon
might detect the monthly increase of
the orbit of the city as if it were the re-
suit of some giant process of crystalliz-
alton.
