A GOOD ONE.-Judgo Baker, veteran
Democrat of vincennes, Ind, tells the fol-
lowing story as illustrative of his sentl-
ments:
Once there was good old Baptist preach
err, whose custom it was every Sunday
morning, universally, on entering his pull
pit to open his well-worn hymn book at
random and read the first hymn that caught
his eve. Some wicked boys got hold of his
hymn. book and pasted in leaf containing
that fame us, hut not very orthodox hymn,
"Old Father Grimes"
Next Sunday morning the good parson
entered his sanctuary, carefully adjusted
his speclacles, picked up his book and read
to the congregation;
"old Grimes Is dead, that good old man,
We neer shall sec him more"
Hestopped, rubbed his glasses, examined
his book TO see that he had not made a mis-
take, and proceeded:
"He used to wear On old gray coat,
All buttoned down before"
He then laid down the book aud tearfully
but firmly addressed the congregation:
"Brethren, I've used that book these
twenty years. l never came across that
hymn before, but it's thar, in the book,
and It's all right. Sing"
$50" said the judge, "Fvo been Demo-
crat long while, and never thought of
such thing as being asked to vote for
! Greeley; but, If he's in the book, I'm not
going to inquire how he got there but make
the best music eau for him under the cir
cumstances.'

GRATz Browns RECoRD.-James Red
path writes TO the Boston journal what he
knows about Gratz Brown. He SAYS: A
great many years ago, when I was altern-
ntely reporter, assistant editor and Kansas
correspondent of the Missouri Democrat.
Mr.. b. Gratz Brown was its conductor, and
was then, as he is now, a tolerablv able and
an intolerably vain little fellow-a sort of
cross lin cabinet size between n. p. Banks
and VIM. ii. Seward. with dash of the
peacock thrown in. He was strong on de-
pertinent; he had social tact and consider
able skill in man ging rough men, with a
mistiness of political and moral convictions
that sometimes suggested Seward plus
opium and sometimes again bourbon whis-
key minus water. He has made a fair
record-for a Kentuckian, with all the van
ity and arrogance of all the "blue grass" of
that State in his veins, very excellent
record-as the records of professional poll
tcians go but the claims lie is putting
forth to political saintship are equally
egotistical and unfounded in fact. He said
(n his new Haven speech: "You know
that | have ever been a Republican from
the hour the Republican party was formed
! have stood by the cause of freedom in its
darkest days, and may say without arro-
gancc that l have labored for it and fought
for it manfully and we'll"
1 know that he "labored" and "lought"
for the election of James Buchanan, and
that the files Of The Missouri Democrat will
prove it. Those were tolerable clark days"

A FORTUNE FROM A HAT.-A man re-
Gently died at Collmarin Asace as doub-
lie millionaire, who owned his wealth to
his hat. About the year 1926, poor jour
neyman turner, by the name of Muhle,
barefoot and his knapsack on his back,
passed through the village in which Messrs.
We'll & Boutron had a machine factory.
He asked Mr.. We'll for work, but not be-
ing prepossessed in his favor by reason of
his dilapidated appearance, Mr.. We'll sent
him away. Sadly yielding to his fate the
journeyman went on his way. All at once
the proprietor called him back: "Stop,
man. what kind OF n hat have you on P"
at is a wooden hat, sir" "a wooden hat ?
Let me look at the thing. Where did you
buy itH" 81 made it myself, SIR" "And
where did you make it7" "On the turning
lathe, sir" "On the turning-lathe? but
your hat is oval, and in turning things
grow round" "That is true" the journey
m an said, shut nevertheless l made the
and tn rned as thought best. have far
to travel, and need hat to keep off the
rain, and not having money to buy me one,
made me one myself" Muhle, by instinct,
as it were, had discovered the eccentric
method ofturning, which was TO attain such
importance in modern mechanics. As an
expert, Mr.. We'll at once saw the impor-
lance Of the invention. He kept the man
with the wooden hat, and soon discovered
not only that he was an intelligent work
man, but that he had an inventive genius,
only needing an opportunity and some lit
tie education for his development. Soon

changing his name TO Moulin, proprietor,

GREELEY's DREss.-Mr. Greeley's dress
gets abundant mention, and Mark Twain's
amusing picture of the great editor stand
ing at the glass and trying for an half an
hour to tie his neck handkerchief so that
1t shall look the most slovenly, and another
half hour in making dents in his hat, is
likely to go down to posterity as a verita-
bic portrait of Il man whose chief business
1t has never been to wear clothes, But
ether eminent men have dressed misera-
bly,. Fox set the fashion of slovenllness in
attire, until it became almost dlsreputable
in England to dress handsomely, until
Beau Brummell turned the heads of half OF
London by his exquisite makeup. Oliver
Goldsmith went to be ordained in red
plush brooches. Daniel Webster went to
Dartmou tn College TO be matricuated in q
suit of homespun dyed dark blue; but a
heavy rain soaked all the indigo out of the
clothes into the young mans skin, and no
amount of wiping could remove the fixed
cerulean from his face. When asked who
he was, he replied "They call me Black
Dan at home, but appear as Blue Dan To-
day." Walpolo wrote Of the celebrated
Lady Mary Wortley Montague in 1862,
"her dress like her language is gdiimdti-
as of several countries, the ground work
rags, and the embroidery nastness. She
needs no cap, no handkerchief, no gown,
no petticoat, no shoes. An old black-lace
hood represents the first the fur of a horse
mans coat, which replaces the third, serves
for the second dimity petticoat is de-
putty, and ofliciates for the fourth, and slip
pers act the part of the last" Mr.. Greeley
has distinguished precedents for his style
of attire and if he lost his hose on the way
to the Jubilee, we must remember that
such an accident is trifling TO that which
befel Founiayn Wilson, NJ. p, who hay
ing an invitation to dine after meeting o.
his Committee, ordered his servant to bring
| down his best clothes in the hackney coach
in which he could exchange suits while OF
the way. But as ill luck would have it
the axle broke just as he was fairly out o
one suit and before he was into the other
and a crowd ofpeople were something more
than nonpiusSed at discovering inside thu
vehicle naked man with two suits o
clothes beside him.-Goldea Age.

THE RAILROAD HoG.-"This seat is TAX
en-, sir" All persons who have travelled
to any considerable extent are familiar
with this formula. 1t tells the story of the
railroad hog-the small-souled, mean, sell
fish brute who pays grudgingly for one
seat and strains his small wit to hold two.
This particular hog wore plug hat, shiny
with the genuine Boston gloss, an enamelled
shirt and closely-cropped iron-gray beard.

newspapers when he finally kicks the

FEMALE SUFFRAGE IN ENGLANn.-The
London Examiner has discovered that in
sixty-six municipal elections in England
out of every one thousand women who en-
10y equal rights with men on the rogi ter
5lG went to the poll, which is but iS less
than the proporlionate number Of MEN.
And out of 27,01G women registered where
contest occurred ll,ilG voted. or non
there were 1GG,7Sl ON the register, and o.
$50 at the poll. The Examiner draws This
conclusion: "Making allie vance for the
reluctance of old spinstors 20 change their
habits, and the more frequent Illness OF the
sen, it is manifest that women, If they had
opportunity, would exercise the franchise
as freely as mon. There is an cud, there
fore, of the argument that women would
not vote if they had the power.

THEGREAT TUNNEL CoMMENCED.-John
Bull will not be content until he can go TO
France dry-shod. For many years the
project of bridging or tunnelng Dover
Straits has been considered, and various
are the schemes that have been brought
forward to accomplish this object. The best
engineering skill has been employed, and
the most careful examinations and csti-
mates have been brought forward to ac-
complish this object. The best engineer
ing skill has been employed, and the most
careful examinations and estimates have
been made, with a view of determining its
practicability and probable cost. The ne
cessity for such work is more and more
felt each succeeding year, and the enorm-
Gus traffic now in passengers and freight
seem 10 demand that the work be under
taken. 1t is an enterprise of vast proper
tions, and will require an enormous outlay
and consume many years before 1t can be
completed.
The various plans for bridging the chan
mel, including the visionary scheme of sus-
pending the structure on balloons, we be-
lieve, are all abandoned, and the only prac-
ticable method of getting a railway across
to France will be to go under the sea- The
work, therefore, of cutting tunnel has at
last been entered upon, and a company has
been organized and registered in London
for commencing tho work. About $1,000,
| 900 will be first expended in sinking shafts
and thoroughly testing the feasibility Of
| plans. If the experimental shafts prove
successful, books will be opened for fur
| Their subscriptions to the stock, and work
| will be pushed vigorously. The compile
| ton will be only a question of time. Five
years have been thought sufficient, but il
seems hardly possible that so gigantic al
undertaking can be accomplished in sc
| short space. The cutting will be compar-
| atively easy, unless the biologists are a
| fault, for the only resistance is said to he 4
| soft chalk rock that can be easily bored
| There will necessarily be great danger con
nected with the work, from the liability Of
| letting in the sea, and the difficulty of Sc
curing ventilation during the progress OF
the excavation. When completed the tun
mel will be twenty-three miles in length
and fresh air will probably have to bt
| forced through its entire length by artifi
cial means. If modern engineering is able
| to provide for this, there can be no doub
| of the success of the undertaking.
Both countries are expected 10 join in
the expense of the enterprise, but the la
boring oar will fall to England, since thu
| finances of France have been so severely
| crippled in the late war with Prussia. This
is probably, all things considered, the mos
| gigantic and difficult piece of engineering
| that was ever undertaken.

He told funny anecdotes, and poked the

spit quarts of tobacco Juice across him out
of the window, scattering his shirt front,
between his boots, and all around. He
offered him "chaw" every time he took

freely, and shivered with disgust. Finally
he crawled out and stood up for forty miles,
until another seat was vacated.

GREELEY NOT A FOoL.-Those excellent
people who imagine that Mr. Greeley is n
benevolent old idiot who cannot tell a
knave from an honest man, and does not
know the difference between beat steak
and hand Of tobacco, and who is the con-
fiding tool and delighted dupe of Whatever
schemcr may chance to get his ear, have
sufficient answer in Mr.. Greeley himself.
He begun life Il poor boy, without cducl-
ton, family, friends, or even the sraces Of
manner and the insinuating retinements Of
personal appearance and address TO aid
him. And yet this poor, uneducated, un-
couth boy has worked his way TO the very
highest position in the most arduous of
professions, and for twenty-five years has
welded n greater influence than any other
man in America. With borrowed capital
of a thousand dollars he started a paper
which has become the leading journal Of
this continent. And he has secured the re-
spect, the confidence, the love of the peo-
pie of all parties by his triumphant hon
esty, his unfailing kindness, his unswerv-
ing purposeto be and do right, and to-day
has been adopted by them, in spite of po-
litical managers and party presidents, ms
their candidate for the highest Office in their
gift. If Mr.. Greeley is fool, he is one OF
a very rare and noble species, and one
which the American people are evidently
proud of and would like to have multiple
ed. But those who represent him as u
weak old idiot have number of obstinate
facts TO explain away, and the most obsti-
nate fact of all is the great statesman him
self.-Golden Age.
