A Good Joke on Governor Hoffman.

Mr.. B. f. Beekman, the banker,
business and railroad millionaire, and
the great Christian who raised S3000,-
600 to buy Morrissey's Club House last
summer for the Young Mems Christian
Association, bad talk with the Cover
nor yesterday.
Mr.. Bcekman said he had voted the
Democratic ticket, and that he had
followed the party over pretty rough
roads, but he didn't see how he could
vote for such shutfling old woman as
Greeley. "Why, Governor" said Mr..
Beckman, "the old fool don't know
enough to attend to his own business !;
he is ctcrnally letting some devilish fools
swindle him and with such big, over
grown child at the head, why, business
men wouldn't feel safe he'd want to do
some dcvilish stupid thing every day
"But," interrupted the Governor, 81
think Mr.. Greeley is pretty good
judge of men. / think he can pick out
an honest man or knave as quick as
any one. L"
"Why, there is just where he is al
ways the biggest fool, continued Mr..
Beekman.
"Ncgcr mind" said the Governor, Il
would take his opinion on man to DC
true quicker than 1 would take any
man in the country"
"You would ?" aske Mr.. Bcekman
feeling in a side pocket
eyes, l would" said the Governor
firmly.
"Wcll, here is little slip where he
calls you montcbank and corrupt
dishonest and swindling Democratic
villain" said Mr.. Bcckman, as he hand
ed an old Tribune editorial to the Cover
nor.
The Governor read it over twice,
then looked as if he was trying to sec
straight through Mr.. Bcokman, row
of carriages and two feet brick pc.i
ton, then he slamed down his hat and
went up stairs.

PLEAsANrRIEs ON MINISTER'S
The Boston Traveller says; "Of two
Boston churches near together, one somc
weeks since lost an able preacher and
the other still has poor one. Recently
two gentlemen, who are officers one Of
each church, were talking about the va
cant pulpit and the representatives Of
the destitute society said ne hoped they
would get good preacher for the place.
The other gentleman, with a merry
twinkle of his eye said. 81 don't know
of any society moro IN need of q good
preacher than yours" EYES," slowly
responded the other, "we have been ao-
custoned to it." There was no further
conversation on that topic.
Two friends of two other churches
also of one denomination also met the
other day, and discussed the preaching
of their respective pastors. "Your min
lister uses the ideas of other men said
one "Your minister uses the ideas of
other men said one "Don't you wish
your pastor Muuld do the same" was the
signciliant response.

gentleman of another. "No," was the
reply, "why do you ask?" ~ heard he

"Ah, that accounts for il"
"I see your pastor out daily" said
another gentleman to a friend, the pa
pcrs said he was sick" "Only sick
enough to make trip to Europe neces-
sary if his people will take to tho

II wish you would give me my mar

day to a clergyman who had married
him about year previous"

minister, who does a large business in

Cannot you tell wcthcr it was three

inquiry. Greatly said the model hus-

with his request. m

Journalistic Fun.

An incident i'll the history Of Shad-
radh Penn's life, which some of the old
er citizens efLouisville may yet rcmcm-
ber, and which doubtless afforded them
many hearty laugh, occurred about
thirty five years ago, when Geo. d.
Prentice, at the head of the Louisville
Journal, and Pcnu, as editor and pub
Usher of the AduertiSer, were running
what was called, in those days of Amer
lean journalism, lively opposition
About year previous to the occurrence
horrible murder ar some great calami-
ty had occurred in the south, not far
from New Orleans. 1t happened that
Prentice had saved a copy of this paper.
which had not been clipped or cut. His
natural wit struck upona good expcdient
to get off good Joke on Penn by means
of this paper, then year old. Accor-
dipgly he sprinklcd the paper, folded it
up, neatly pressed it, which gave it the
appearance of new issue and and en-.
closing it i'll large wradpcr, backed it:
'Complimcnts clerk of the steamer

out from New Orleans. Quickest trip
on record. TO S. Penn, editor Louis
vile -idecrtiSer )" The boy cane rush.
ing into the editorial sanctum almost
totally exhausted threw down the paper
en- the table, AID then scampcrcd off.
Penn picked it up tore off the wrapper
huricdly, and his eyes Immediately res
ted on the important article of news re-
iered to. No time was to be lost. The
paper was nearly up; several important
matters were in the form, but they
were ordered out and the new copy was
in the hands of the compositors with
few editorial comments, and very pro
fuse thanks to the gcntemanly clerk
Of the elegant and fast steamer Waucous-
Ia for the inyalublc favor, etc The whole
trick proved successful aud Prentice
delighted, on every possible occasion
more especially VIII Penn had big
thing in tho Alverttsc-, to ask; "Did
thatitcm OF news comeb by the Waucous
ia" The boat referred to was notori-
ously slow, she had but one engine aud
was commanded by Captain FFANK
DonnMAN, of Stcubenville, Ohio.

OosetaI CrueIty I'm ST. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, July 14.-The grand jury
have made a report to Judge Primm, of the
Criminal Court, in regard to the affairs of
the House Of Refuge, in which they say that
a committee of their body visited that insti-
tuition last week and discovered that great
cruelty is sometimes practiced upon its in
mates. They cite three cases of
terrible whipping of young boys,
and one case where pieces of
flesh had actually been cut out of boys
back by the lash. The boys were also
placed in a dark dungeon for trivial ofFenses,
and kept there for forty sight hours without
food or drink. The report says that the
House of Refuge as now conducted is a
deep, damning disgrace, and urges the court
to effect, if possible, change in the man
agement. Mr.. F. S. w. Gleason, who has
been superintendent of the institution
twenty years, will publish card tomorrow
pronouncing the statements of the grand
jury exaggerations, and asking suspension
of public opinion until the next meeting OF
the board Of management.
