One of the best paying offices in the Uni
sed States is the position of Sheriff of New
York City. A N. Y. paper in speaking of
the emoluments of the Sheriff and his en-
ployees makes the following assertions
The Sheriff, in the year ending June Both,
received $40, ,816,10. For commitments he
received during January, Sc, TIA; February,

the quarter ending March, 81, $16,823,51

The satisfaction of belonging to the Sher-

can be estimated when it is understood that

How the Tammany Thieves Did 1t.
Total,


There is no doubt that large proportion
of the twenty millions which we know to
have been stolen have been used in the
corruption of electors, and the payment of
managers of both parties all over the State.
We are only saying what all "the men in
side politics" know we'll, that there has for
the last few years been hardly a town or
county caucus, between this city and the
lakes, in which Tweed's hand has not been
felt He has his agents everywhere-some
stationary, some intincrant-and they are
as numerous in the Republican as the Dem
ocratic ranks. To some lie pays salaries,
to others he makes donations, and others
he holds by taking care" of son or
other relative or friend in the city. In
this way he has influenced largely the re-
turn of the members of the Legislature.
Under his manipulations, a considerable
number go to Albany ready to be seduced.
The virtue of the others does not stand very
long after he has arrived with his money
bags, and their return to their consti-
tuents enriched, no longer exctes shame on
the one side or indignation on the other.
We believe it was the experience OF the re-
form Democrats at the late convention at
Rochester that the country delegates were
little if any superior in. tone TO the band OF
Jail birds which Tammany sent up from
the city. AS regards the Republicans, we
shall only say that Tweed has book in
which he has entered the sums paid last
winter to the various Republican Legislators
for their votes, and that it is expected and
believed that if he finds that the game is
really up as far as he is concerned, he will
publish it. Let us hope and pray he will.
1t will be the most striking "literary
event" of the season. One entry in it at
least has been already revealed by him with
his usual cynism, and has been used
against prominent politician in the west.

A Curious In eident.

A singular instance Of premoniticn OF
evil is related by correspondent of the
Bangor Wig. A certain musician residing
In that city, after playing at ball in a
town some miles distant, last Monday
night, retired to rest as usual, but was rest
less and unable to sleep, and sensation OF
dread of something wrong took hold of his
mind. He strove to shake it of, and court
cd sleep in vain. So strong did this un-
easihess become that he at length arose
and took the first train to Augusta, and
Immediately went to his home, where he
found his wife and little son Of four years
Of age both nearly suffocated from coal gas.
It was a long time before they could be
revived. Had he been absent an hour
longer they would doubtless both have
been dead.

THE subcommittee sent to Mississippi
and Alabama to look into the operations of
the Ku-klux in those States, find that in
Mississippi the Ku-klux are operating chief
ly against the educational system, having
burned nearly all the school houses in the
State and driven the teachers off. In Ala
bama the same lawless band determined to
bleak up all the Methodist Episcopal church
societies established since the close of the
cebellion by northern missionaries, and
have succeeded pretty cffectually in accom-
plishing their object. Although the COM
mittee found bad condition of affairs in
both States, they believe the law can be
vindicated without declaring martial law.

this new champion of American Art"
and the publishers to gain fruitful har-
vest by timely qualification of this very
natural feeling have brought out the initial
issue month before the usual time
The verdict, which they have so long been
anxiously working for, must be favorable.
The fulfillment is certainly up to the prom
ise-which is saying great deal.
Perhaps the first feature to attract the
attention of old acquaintances is the change
from green to buff in the color of the cover
hardly an improvement except so far as
to prepare for the greater changes inside.
On investigation we find that the almost
extravagant excellence of last years paper
has been improved upon, the paper of this
number being nearly one half heavier
The surface also seems better adapted to
the rendering of those fine tints and deli
cate grays which the printers of "The
Aldine" know how to render so eXquisitely.
We also find that the advertisements
have been restricted to the wrapper and an
additional sheet inserted, giving seven more
pages to the paper--space well improved
under the judicious care of the new poet
| editor.
AS first number the one now before us
| speaks well for the management of Mr.
Stoddard, who will well merit all that has
|
his assumption of the editorship.
| OF the new American feature it is not
too much to say, that the beginning is all
that could be wished by the most enthusias-
| tic ndtiUe. The illustration on the first
page, "Maud Muller" is one of she hap
piest instances that has ever come to our
notice of the power of the pencil to rein
force the pen. The perfect harmony of
ideas between the quoted lines of Whit
tiers best production and the delicate,
graceful figure of Miss Davis delineation
will be grateful indeed to all lovers of that
poetry which is not confined to words
For the artist, who we understand is a
young lady of about twenty, we predict an
enviable success in the path she has chO-
sen--a path unvexed by questions of wo-
mans rights. The full page picture from
a design by Darley "The Nooning," is in
itself prize; Henry Linton, the engraver,
has produced, in relief all the delicacy of
fine steel engravings, and the picture is
wonderfully suggestive of the American
Bank Note Company, for whose vignettes
the very best work of this artist has been
produced.
"a Tropic Forest, by Granville Perkins,
engraved by Weights, is grand grouping
of the characteristics of South American
forest scenery, and the rich verdure of trop-
ical vegetation is given by both artist and
engraver in style that few would believe
could be produced outside of Paris. Mr..
Perkins has all the strength of Dore in this
particular field, and has the merit of being
much more natural the page is certainly a
vindication of our home talent, and must
be accepted as high art in any country.

The Colorado Narrow Guage Railroad.

The facts intimately connected with this
road are that it is 20 miles long, and will
soon be in regular running condition. 1t
is three feet guage. The actual cost was
$l2, 800, per mile. There were 35 miles Of
rails laid in five weeks the rails weighing
80 lbs. per y ard, against SO OH the Denver
& Pacific. The weight of train complete,
carrying 200 passengers, is but 70 tons,
against l46t tons for broad guage train
carrying 2l9 passengers. Each car weighs
but eight tons, against 30 tons on the old
system. The freight cars, weighing 1000
lbs. will carry 10000 lbs weight, and
though the engine and tender weigh but
10 tons they took the excursion train along
% miles an hour easily. The reduction OF
running expenses, that is, aftcr all the
great argument for the narrow guage
makes two-thirds Of the whole weight trans
ported pay whereas on the broad guage
system four-ffths are dead, unremuneratlve
and taken at perceptible loss.

Turning the Tables.

The Madison (Wis.) Journal of the 10Th

came the tormented
On Wednesday morning a boy ten years
old succeeded by strategy in getting four or
five live rats into a small upper room in
Falk's brewery on the south side from the
apartments used for drying barley. He
closed the door on them and unsuspecting-
ly went at them with stick, when they
turned upon him with the ferocity for which
this vermin is noted under such crcum-
stances. They made repeated leaps up
into his face with rapdity and savage
ness which he describes as terrible, nipping
him on tho cheeks and about the neck. For
time he succeeded in pushing them away
from his shoulders, and many times they
bit his hands and fastened their teeth
through his trowsers into his legs. They
kept him so busily on the defensive as to
prevent him from seeking the door, and
would have soon overpowered him with
their fierce, persistant warfare, had not
his shrieks for help brought the workmen
to his assistance, who found him badly
lacerated in many places; he tainted from
fright on being rescued. The rats all
cleared the room the instant the door was
opened.

Thrilling Scene in a Catholic Church.

On Thursday morning last, during the 0
o'clock service at the church of st. John
the Evangelist, in New York, scene took
place that struck terror into the heart of
every mother present. Father M'Mahon,
while earnestly addressing his congrega-
tion, was interrupted by one of his assist
ants handing him note. On perusing it
he remarked: " If there is lady present
by the name of Curtis, she will please fol-
low me at once to the clergy-room, adding
'that something had occurred at her home
since she left it one hour ago" There was
a general stir throughout the assembly, and
presently a lady arose and made her way
toward the front of the church, the priest
following her out. He shortly returned,
however, saying the lady who had respond
cd to the summons was the wrong person.
1t was some other Mrs. Curtis whose atten-
tion he desired to attract; but as no one
moved he continued, that the child of the
woman whose attention he desired to at
tract had been burned to death since she
left it that morning An exclamation and
a woman's shrek of agony succeeded the
announcement, and the poor mother was
led through the crowd. A nameless fear
had kept her from obeying the first sum-

Two Husbands.

Twenty years ago John Carter and Mary
johnson were married in Philadelphia.
John was sailor not unfrequently shipped
for voyages to India and Japan. But in
in the spring of '61 Mary and her children
were left without protector.
In the beginning of the year John had
engaged on board the clipper Columbia for
Calcutta, and the vessel was wrecked off
one of the islands of the East Indian archi-
pelago and all her crew were supposed to
have perished. After the lapse of years the
comely widow married George Wilson, and
after their marriage they went to New York
and took rooms at $50 East Twenty-sixth
street. A month ago the first husband
turned up. Mary is in quandary.

aB-A gentleman of Bethel, Vermont,
has made discovery in tanning leather
which, he claims, will revolutionize the
business The material he uses is dry
forest leaves, and his experiments are said
to have been entirely satisfactory. One ton
of leaves will tan as much leather as five
cords of hemlock bark, and will do the
work in one-half the time. BY mixing the
leaves and bark in equal proportions, one
fourth of the time is saved. The leather
tanned by this process is smoother, more
flexible, and yet retains the strength of the
raw hide in a greater degree than that
tanned by bark Specimens exhibited at
the Vermont State Fair were awarded the
first premium, after being subjected to the
severest tests

rB- Among the effects of a poor fellow
named William Green, who died at St.
Louis hospital, lately, was found a policy
on his life, in favor Of his sister, Johanna
Green, for, $1,000. The woman has been
found in great poverty, out of which the
gift OF her dead brother will lift her to COM
parative comfort. This man, dying poor
and fiiendless, among strangers, an object
of public charity, in his death blesses his
sister with the fruits of his loving fore
thought years before.
We do not know whether the policy was
