worthy that a paper called The

Shaking Hands Across the Chasn.

The best joke of the campaign is re-
lated at the expense Of prominent
Greeieylte in this city, who was boast
ing to u number of Republicans the 9TH
or day that an intelligent colored man,
whom we will designate as "Uncle
Ned" and who was working for said
Grceleyitc, would vote for Horace,
and he offered to back his assertion by
treating the crowd to cigars, &c. The
bet was promptly taken by our friend
B., who. has an eye TO business and rail-
roads. Uncle Ned was called in, and
the question was put directly, "Ned will
you vote for Greeley this fall ?" The
answer came promptly and earnestly,
eyes. sah-e, 1 vote for Greeley every
time" Our Greeley friend was delight
ed he had not only won the bet, but
had demonstrated the fact right here in
Grand Haven that Summers dying effort
was bearing fruit; it was not written in
vain. With all the dignity and prom
posity he could command our prominent
GreeIcy frIend-whO has ever been an
uncomprOmising Democrat-walked up
to uncle Ned, and extending his hand,

that have offered to shake hands with
. colored man, but the occasion demands
it now" and he and Ned had hearty
shake, while friend b. and the Republi-
cans showed plainly that they had lost
all confidence in the oppressive race.
But after the formal /" shake" Uncle Ned,
addressing our Greeley friend, said /:
"HoP on thar now, Mr. un'er-
stand me; l mean jis what say; I'll
vote for Horace Greeley, but III vote
for him to be hung" 1t is needless to
say that the cigars, and &C., were set up,
and Uncle Ned shared with the party.
This is the first instance Of shaking
hands across the black chasm in this
city, Grand Hdren Herald.

Concerning . Judge.

The Vallejo (Cal.) Chronicle relates
that woman, whose husband was in
jail for some misdemeanor, appeared in
one of tho courts there few days ago
with three small children, asking for
their fathers release on tho ground that
she could not support them herself. The
court assured her Of its inability to help
her in the matter, and referred her to
judge C., we'll known lawyer, who Sc
cured the husbands conviction. The
woman naturally thought that no could
also procure his pardon, and was there
fore much COMPOUNDED when he, too,
told her the thing couldn't be accom-
plished. '"Well," she calculated, half
desparingly, halfresigned, "if you won't
do that, you'll have to keep these young
ones until his time is out, for I've got
nothing to feed 'em on" The Judge
thought the matter good joke until
no started to leave the Office, when the
weman told her little blessings to ego
along with the gentleman, children"
The little chsrubs were obedient, and
followed their newly constituted father
with as much affection as if they had
been . part of his own bone and flesh.
Tho judge was in dilema; the children
stuck like burrs, and no way offered of
getting rid of them. He finally effected
. compromise by offering the woman o
sack Of -four in consideration of her
''oalling her children off and again as.
suming the guardianship.

from failing health, to resign the Lord
Chancellorshlp Of England, is one of the
most able and enlightened jurists that
ever adorned the woolssck. He is
known, also as being very religious
man, his profession is admired not more
for intellect and industry than for
scrupulous conscientiousness. In devo-

than Lord Westbury, his recent precs

Although cccentricity 10 said to be .
p3ant Of island growth, we occasionally
80 it cropping ont in continental house
holds, and sometimes even in royal pal
aces. For instance, the Queen Of Naples
and her sister, the Empress of Austria,
two of the most beautiful women in Eu-
rope, were brought up by their father, q
Bavarian prince Of the collateral branch,
in the strangest manner possible. Fond
of low society, he would takc them with
him incognito to the taverns of Munich
and the tents Of the gypsies. He taught
swim and no one thought of supplement-
ing thisvery detective education. Their
mother, q hypochondriac rather than an
invalid, used to set up all day reading
movies in darkened room and feeding
her precious lap-dogs. Her children
were now and then tremendously
brought in to see their mother, who had
nothing 70 say to them when they came.
They hated the dogs, naturally enough,
and were given to slyly pinching their
ears in consequence. The dogs yelped,
and the mother ENORMOUSLY complained
Oh 0cf Oe3u. Illus cuuCu tuc IutCTslCW,
and the girls went back to their father
sad their sports. 1t was de riqneur that
they should receive religious instruction,
and the Archbishop of Munich chose
among his clergy one whom he thought
most competent to the post Of teacher
to the Processes. After q month the
unhappy chaplain was sure to ask as
favor 10 BE- relieved of his duty. The
girls would laugh and talk to each other,
utt. r:y unhcedful Of any remonstrance,
and generally managed to tease their
poor preceptor beyond all patience.
When the Archbishop himself, with in
finite pains, had instructed them for con-
firmation, they laughed in his face dur
ing the ceremony. All these facts we
learn from his own lips during his stay
in Rome, where he has since died. The
Empress of Austria, however, improved
very much after her marriage; learned
French and Hungarian, and many other
useful things, and became very popular,
both with the Court and the people,
especially in Hungary. Her sisters Ca
rcer, less fortunate, has been also more
romantic, but one cannot help rejoicing
that in her 8, much energy, misdirectcd,
or rather lying waste, has led to SO much
domestic happiness.-Lippiucotts >Naga-

1t is dangerous to live in country
that is too prolific-Santa Barbara, for
example. Any place subject to. a catas-
trophe like the following should be
avoided as q residence. A singular
accident recently occurred at Santa
Barbara, by which one Mr.. Short near
" lost his life. As he was working on
q side hill on his place an immese water
melon, weighing eighty-six pounds,
laundering down the hill in his direc-
ton. He endeavored to escape from its
track, bat was prevented by becoming
entangled in tho vines. On came the
melon with fearful velocity, and rolled
over his PROSTATE body. By the most
singular fortune he escaped with his life,
and with only a severe injury to his leg.

they don't expect to carry, but Pennsyl-

the Chappaquacks. These they can
safely claim till the day Of election ap-

A while ago an officer of the English
army, having inspected some home ST: :
tons, sent in his statement Of disburse-
ments. There was one item as follows:
" Porter, 3D." This item was struck out
by the War Office; but the officer ex-
planned that the charge was for carriage
of his luggage, under circumstances
where he would otherwise have had to
pay Is Cd for a cab. To this explanation
came reply that in this case the claim
would be allowed, but that it should have
been put for "porterage," and not "por-
ter" The officer answered that he
would obey orders, although he could
find no authority for such word as
"porterage )" ard inquired in addition it
in future he should uso the term "cab
(b)age" when he meant "cab?" The
English war.officer would not take q joke,
and the witty officer was sevrely repri-
maded.

The Dangerous asansards.

The rapid destruction Of the so.called Hrs-proof
buildings is now the common subject Of discussop,
and the general opinion 10 that the Mansard roofs
are responsibls for the calamity. The Board Of
Aldermen OF New York have forbade the erection
of Mausara roofs. A resolution has been adopted
by the Commercial Exchange Of the same city
disappearing the construction Of Mansard roofs ON
large and lofty buildings.
One OF the most eminent architects in the city
expresses his opinion Of Mansard roofs in the terse
remark that we build fre-proof structures and
then load them with . lumber yard. And in this
remark lies the full significance Of the Boston fire.
1t was the Mansard roofs which did the business.
Away up the air beyond the roach Of the streams
OF water, these trail and fairy structures all
ablaze. and the dames famed by the light breeze,
at first curled and twned around the delicate or.
fermentation and quickly spread from one house.
top to another. Then the wind, rs il increased,
bore the blazing fragments across streets and
squares and set hundred AAnsards adame at
once. The burning timben fell in upon the Aoors
They burned away, dropped one upon another
the fire fed BY the rich stock Of goods until each
massive stone structure became . very Volcano
Then the solid granite blocks heated, melted
crumbled eway, and then even exploded with
noise like that made by gunpowder. It is tn
substantial are proof part Of Boston that now lie
in ruins.-Press.
