These are the hacyon days when the American
citizen doesn't care whether he has any political
opinions or not. He dives into the surf at Long
Branch or does ferOcious pedestriansm through the
White Mountains, fishes in the lakes, OF wades gun
in hand, through the swamps-equally indifferent to
principles parties. What is minority representa-
ton OF the balance of trade to himf Does not his
pipe glow like the sunset and his cheek with the
bronze of a redi mani You cannot stir in him the
most languid interest in imitation or the revenue
frauds; not even the name of Butler will rouse
him he tits back bis chair in the shade after
MONDAY dinner and looks out with restful content
on the blue hills that stretch their hazy outline in
the distance Politicsi Not while he can lie on
his back in the grass and watch the cloud-frgates
sail across the blue sea above him, and wonder
what celestial passengers they may have, dreaming
again his old time dreams of youth and love, and go
TO sleep with the playing full on his lazy frame
and the bugs crawling up the blades OF grass 10 take
AN observation before venturing down his neck.
Not while the fish nibble and bite alternately coy
and reckless and he can watch his shadow by the
bour resting on the clear cool stream and count the
pebbles at the bottom. Not while he can run out to
sea in his impudent little catbOat and haul in blue
fish like man. with an occasional turn at sea-sick-
ness to give him an appetite. Not while the ar Is
30 fresh and scented with odors OF the woods; not
while the skin is peellng off his nose and he's as
happy as lark not while the girls are SO pretty
and there are, OF are going to be, such beautiful
moonlight nights; not while he is so brown
and Jolly and eats such prodigious meals.
When he comes back to town, to dresscoats and six
o'clock dinners stock sales and newspapers he will
resume his former burden of opinions and sing the
old refrain with as much gusto as if he had never
forgotten the tune grown tired of it-but not TIL
then.

How newspapers are occasionally imposed on
by persons CHEERING false news is explained
elsewhere in the affidavit of young man who
appears to have been used by an ingenious
rogue of this small Sort 1t is next to an i'm
possibility to guard against such impositions
when they are perpetrated by the aid of re-

commend the list to the consideration of Mr..

of the utter untrustworthiness of the daily

One result of the railroad love feast at Sara
tega will be bad news to the immigrants.
The companies have concluded to advance the
fares west by the "emigrant trains" to the
old rates, which are in most instances one
hundred per cent, and to some points one
hundred and fifty per cent higher than the
charges lately prevailing.

The latest phase of the District Safe burglary
case-and that is case in which new phases
seem constantly developing-is the disappear
ance in some mysterious fashion of telegraph
receipt-book which was produced before the
Investigating Committee and considered very
important piece of testimony. The book is
wanted by the Grand Jury, but cannot be
found. Upon the whole, the Safe burglary
business is about the most complicated mess
of deviltry that has turned up lately.

The thin disguise of equal friendship for
Mr. Beecher and Mr.. TltOn drops from Mr..
f. ID. MOulton's face on the publication OF
Mr. Beechel's indignant demand for documents
confdentially deposited with him, unwarrant-
ably used and wrongfully withheld. The
whole relation of this man to the case Is as
yet mysterious; but it is at least clear that
he has been from the outset the Jealous and
not too scrupulouS friend of Mr.. Tilton as
against the minister he sought to destroy
1t really looks, indeed, as if his precise rela-
ton to Mr.. Beecher had been that of the con-
fidence man to his victim. But as he has at
last, with little grace, consented to appear
with his documents before the Committee on
Saturday evening next, all judgment will be
properly suspended till his story is told. If
it be then found that he has received injustice
in the sharp opinions of the past week, it will
only be another illustration of the hard fate
that surely awaits all meddlers in such do
nestle quarrels. Ii he has received no in
Justice, the case against Mr. Beecher Is at
once resolved into a conspiracy.

Reports from Tennessee indicate that the

drawn and the contest having narrowed down

the whites and the blacks. Such condition

There Is a flavor of needless worry about
the elaborate written arguments for and against
the Postal Telegraph scheme with which the
poor clerk of the Committee is getting loaded
down during the recess. 1t is. of course, pos
sible that this wild scheme for improving our
defective and ill-organized postal service by
precipitating upon it ten times as complicated
and difficult work, may have a ghost OF
chance in the thieves carnival which the next
session of Congress is expected to develop.
But we shall hope for better things.

Brooklyn has pledged herself-or rather the
Ring has committed her-tO the completion of
the East River Bridge. That was inevitable
under the circumstances of her political Still
alton and her needs. The Bridge ought to be
built, and it is mainly to Brooklyns interest
that it should be built. 1t happened also,
since the plundering had been stopped, that
the Ring managers were glad to be rid OF the
job and get their investments into their
pockets again. Hence the Common Council
was easily induced to vote enough to pay
them back and to keep the work advancing
temporarily. Now it remains to be seen who
of the old managers or their representatives,
Mayor Hunter will be influenced to put back
into the management.

A Lucky Girl.

HNHE following story of a lucky servant
Il girl, which may seem stranger than
truth to many readers, is told by the Belle
fonte (Pa.) Republican "Ten or more
years ago this girl--her name is Alice An
derson--was brought from the Orphans
Home of Pittsburgh by the late Judge
Schaler. She was domestic in his house
up to the time Of his death, when the fam
lily gave up housekeeping and left Belle
fonte. Since that time-some six years
she has been doing housework in different
families of the town. She had no knowl-
edge of her parents, but remembered an
older brother, who came to see her when
she was child in the Home. She had not
heard of him for fifteen years, and gave up
all hopes of ever meeting him again. About
month ago she took a notion that she
could earn more money in the city, and got
friend to write to an acquaintance of his
in Pittsburgh, asking him to secure her a
situation in family there. In short time
letter came, informing her that situa-
tion had been secured, and that she should
come on Immediately. 1t took her week
or more to make preparations for the final
departure, and in the meantime she re-
ceived another letter from her expected
employer, asking about her history, which
her friend Immediately communicated. A
few days more elapsed, and on the day pre-
oeding her departure for Pittsburgh she
received letter from her brother, Dennis
Anderson. This letter contained some de-
lightful information. Dennis informed her
that he had been trying to find her for
many years that he was accidentally told
her name whereabouts, by the gentleman
who had engaged her to come to Pittsburg.
That her reply to his inquiries placed be-
yond doubt that she was his long-lost
and anxiously searched for sister. He
would meet her at the Union Depot and
take her to his home. To make q long
story short, she found her brother He Is
a retired railroad contractor, and wealthy
man. This is not all. Four years ago, her
grandmother, Mrs. Ruth Anderson, Of
Cincinnati, died, leaving fortune Of $780,
900 to her grandchild, Alice Anderson, II
she were ever found and If not, then Dem
mis- should become the heir. Alice is now
the possessor Of that fortune. She is
twenty-five years Of age, is not uncomely
in appearance, but can scarcely read OF
write. She has made arrangements to
spend the next two or three years at
school.
