THE PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS AND GENERAL
HANCOCK.
General Hancock has always been great favorite
with the Pennsylvania democrats and is as much
esteemed by the republicans Of that State as any
man in the democratic ranks. If the theory that
'as goes Pennsylvania so goes the Union" be q cor
rect one, and it Is one in which all Pelnsyvanians
believe, the name OF Hancock viii carry more
strength with it than any one which can be given
the second place on the democratic ticket. The
Curtin faction is ready to divide the republican
party. Mcclure clearly indicates this in his views
of the political situation. and ne knows something
about IT, Should the fight against Cameron be
made to rebound against Grant, as 1t inevitably
would the State cannot be saved to the republicans,
with two such democratic standard bearers as the
HERALD's democratic nominees. But the pOliti-
clans may speak for themselves.

equally affected, upbraided her for her
act, and forbade her TO call him father
again, as she had disgraced both him and
her mother. w f3f
A dialogue was carried on between the
two amid their cries and sobs, which was
only interrupted when the landlord de-
clared 1t was attracting too much atten-

go, and as he did so cast fond look at
his daughter, and to her frantic )" Good

eyes of her people. Her only refuge
now was the husband she had chosen.

deal lovingly and kindly with her who
forsook all the world to cling only to him.

From the Decatur I'LL Republican,

The trials of young widower who re-
sides not so very far from here, in try
ing to get "help," are worth relating.
After becoming almost discouraged by
his many failures, he at last drew up in
front Of small dwelling among the hills,
and asked the customary questions:

man to do the work in farm. house? p"
Where are ye from?" asked the old
man, viewing the handsome horse and
buggy with critical air. my name is

limit to the work she is expected to do.

Improbable Vandalism.

abortive, for the whole country has a

nay, almost national crime.

ButIer ana burnside.

General Boynton, the Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette,
in a letter published on the 2lst, recalls
the following incident:
Buffers style of treating General Haw-
ley has recalled scene in which Butler
figured here in the attempt to bully Gen
eral Burnside. The latter had been
summoned as a witness in the Dyer in
vestigation, and Butler, feeling himself
safely intrenched behind the power of
the House; essayed to vent some of the
spleen he had garnered up in the field
upon the general who saw fit to despise
him there.
Butler was in the committee room as
General Burnside entered and took a
seat without recognizing the Essex
statesman
Butler Immediately began, in tones
evidently meant to be insulting: "This
is General Burnside, believer
General Burnside sat motionless,
merely looked at Butler, without making
any reply. r
"This is General Burnside, believer"
said Butler, again, in loud and angry
voice. f
General Burnside still sat quiet, with
out giving the least evidence that he
heard what Butler said.
Again the statesman repeated his be-
lief that the person before him was
General Burnside, and again failed to
elicit any reply.
= Here" shouted Butler to the messen-
ger, send the sergeant-at-arms, or his
deputy, or some one who represents him
here, to tell us who this witness is The
first thing to be done with witness is to
find ont his name. II he won't answer
we will make him" While Butler was
waiting for the sergeant-at-arms to re-
spond 1t doubtless occurred to him that
it was absurd to threaten witness with
the power of the House till he had been
sworn, and had failed to answer some
direct question, and so, to hide his own
he ordered every one but
the witness out of the room, and, as soon
as it was clear, as the testimony taken
shows, began to treat General Burnside
with sufficient decency to allow him to
answer, and at the same time maintain
his selfrespect. H. V. B.

A Young Jewess EIOpes with a

Her-A Scene. ethAffs
From the Washington Republican, Sept. %. ]
That the police authorities are often
called upon, to perform queer duties is a
fact whichwas fully demonstrated Thurs
day. On the evening of the 18th in
stant telegram was received by Major
Richards requesting him to look out for
and arrest a couple named James W.
Altman and Bette Jacobs, whose de-
scriptions were given. The telegram
was turned over to detective George 0.
Miller, and that officer was ON hand at
the early train next morning TO capture,
if possible, the fugitiyes, But early as
he went he was too late, and instead of
seeing the runaways he met the father OF
the truant young lady, and from him
learned who they were and why they
we're to be arrested.
Miss Jacobs is q Jewess; Mr.. Altman
is Gentle. The parties are both young
the gentleman about twenty-eight and
the lady about eighteen. Shortly after
the close of the war Mr. Jacobs pere
was doing business in Fairfax, Va. and
so was Mr.. Altman. The young people
met and loved, but the almost insuper-
able objection of race interfered with
the otherwise smooth current of their
affection.
Mr.. j., after a time, removed to Balti-
more, and Mr.. A. to Alexandria, in
which respective cities they engaged in
business. The young ones were sepa-
rated but not estranged, and they found
a way by the United States mail to keep
the flame brightly burning.
On the 18th Mr.. A. visited his inamo-
rata at her home; on the 18th both we're
missing; hence the dispatch and the visit
of the old gent On their arrival in this
city the couple repaired at once TO the
City Hall, interviewed Mr.. Meigs, the
clerk Of the Supreme Court, gave him a
small amount of currency, and got in
return therefor the consent Of the law to
be "spliced." Armed with this docu-
ment they called on Rev. j. G. Smith,
D. D., of the Fourth Presbyterian
Church, who saw no plausible objection
TO their request, and in his good-natured
way tied the knot and sent them off re-
ioicing, whittier, he knew not. But we
know They went to the continental
Hotel, where they took room.

steak in such a way that we deem it our
duty to tell our readers what he says,
and it is thus he writes:
Sunday we had late breakfast, and
a good solid meal it was. 1t was late
before We all had sfraggled down to the
dining-room, and ham and eggs, hroiled
woodcock on toast, fried beefsteak, boil
ing coffee, with hotter, if possible, milk,
were all done ample justice to. And
right here, let US say word-that word
shall be said in favor of fried stake. We
hear every one say:

Now, my sweet scented geraniums, be
sure you're right then trot. We mean
as follows: Take a nice tenderloin steak
fat, of course-sprinkle with a little
pepper and salt, have your iron pan on
the fire, and hot; in it two CT three ounces
of fresh mountain butter, melted, Of
course, by the heat; in this place your
steak, and turn again and again. Cook
quickly, brown on each side, with ali the
juices within. I'VE don't mean steak

meat the melted butter, rich with the
encompassed juices of the steak. Sea-
soned spicily with the simple pepper and
salt, and my life for it, you will banker
no more after broiled steak, smelling
noisomely Of the fumes of burning fat;
either blistered to a cinder with scorch-
ing fire, or served to you rank with the
blueness Of raw beef. OF the many
ways, give US the fried steak with its rich
gravy, luscious as the trail of roasted

these Pennsylvania woods, in perfection,
and no one need talk to us hereafter Of

The Conquering RIucher.

The ingenuity of lovers has been the
theme of poets from Sappho to Swim
burne. Surround one of these exalted
beings with walls of adamant; put him
in an oubliette; bury him under noun
tain; plunge him in the sea; in short,
get him into any tight corner, and, as
the old poem says,
Love will fnd out a way"
Blucher might not be a name a poet
would give to his hero, but Blucher, as
he exists in the flesh, near Gold Hill,
California, is lover notunworthy of the
days of chivalry, which are not gone,
Notwithstanding Burke's grand dirge
over them. Once your model lover beat
with mace the head Of his rival, or
cleft him down to the chin; but should
he now attempt to do so he would be in
continently clapped into prison for his
pains. Genius has taken the sword
from the hands of brute force, and we
would back Mr.. Blucher against Maehia-
val for wise resources. He loved, but he
had many rivals; how was he to get rid
of them2 A happy thought struck him.
Yellow Jacket stock was up to $50 q
share; he went to his beloved with ten
shares thereof and saidi Now, darl-
ing, you just hold on to this stock for a
few days; it's up now, and is going up to
higher figure. I'm on the inside and
know all about it. Keep the shares and
you will make fortune" She told her
friends-his rivals--and they all got
mad on the subject and invested largely
in Yellow Jacket at thirty days margin,
having. of course, to put mp twenty-five
per cent. Yellow Jacket fell, the rivals
we're ruined, and the naughty Blucher
won his blushing bride.
