AnecdOte Of Alexander Hamilton.

Hamilton was once applied to for pro-
fessional assistance by man in New York
city, who held the. guardianship Of several
orphan children. These children, then
very young, would on coming of age, if
they had their rights, succeed to the pos
session of a large and valuable estate, In
the title deeds of this estate, the guardian
had discovered material defects, and he
thought he saw way, with the assistance
of an able lawyer by which he could se-
cure the title of the whole property to hinl-
self He opened to Hamilton the whole
deeds, and exhibited copies of the title
deeds, and explaining how he would like
to proceed, And he promised to the great
jurist large reward if he would under
take the business. Hamilton said he must
give to matter SO important due thought
before he decided, and set a time for his
client to call again. The guardian called
again according to appointment Hamil-
ton had put in writing faithful minutes Of
their former conversation, which upon his
second visit, he read aloud ~
''I think" said Hamilton, when he had
finished reading, :" that is a true statement
of your plans ?" '''9'N
eyes, sir, answered the client. "That
is correct And now if may ask, what
have you decided?'. Inh N.a4D ''
81 will tell you, sir" replied Hamilton,
sternly; "you are now completely in my
power, and / consider myself as the fature
guardian of these unfortunate orphans
have decided that you will settle with
them honorably, to the very last penny,
Or will hunt you from the surface of the
earth 70 a4 pfi 19jnmaH HpT oti 80
1t may be unnecessary to add that the
false-hearted guardian did not pursue his
nefarious scheme any further. naG

COOley,s Hat.

e.
When Mr.. Cooley came into church last
Sunday, he placed his new high hat just
outside the pew in the aisle. Presently
Mrs. Pitman entered, and as she proceeded
up the aisle, her Astounding skirts scooped
Cooley's hat and rolled it up nearly to the
pulpit. Cooley pursued his hat with feel
ings of indignation, and when Mrs. Pit
man took her seat he walked back, brush
ing the hat with his sleeve. A few mo-
ments later, Mrs. Hopkins came in church,
and as Cooleyba again placed his hat in
the aisle, Mrs. Hopkins skirts struck it
and swept II along about twenty feet, and
left it lying on the carpet in demoralized
condition. Cooley was singing hymn at
the time, and he didn't miss it. But a
moment later, when he looked over the
end of the pew to see if it was safe, he was
furious to perceive that it was gone. He
skirmished up the aisle after it again, red
in the face, and uttering sentences which
were horribly out of place in the sanctuary.
However, he put his hat down again and
determined to keep his eye ON it, but just
as he had turned his head away for mo-
ment Mrs. Smiley came in, and Cooley
looked around only in time to watch the
hat being gathered in under Mrs. Smiley's
skirts and carried away by them. He
started in pursuit, and just as he did SO
the hat must have rolled against Mrs.
Smiley's ankels, for she gave jump and
screamed right out in church. When her
husband asked her what was the matter,
she said there must be dog under her,
dress, and she gave her skirts a twist.
Out rolled Cooley's hat, and Mr.. Smiley
being very near-sighted, thought it was
a dog, and Immediately kicked it SO saw
agely that it flew up into the gallery and
lodged upon the top Of the organ. Cooley,
perfectly frantic with rage, forgot where
he was, and, holding his clinched fist un-
der Smiley's nose, he shrieked "I've half
a mind to bust you over the snoot%' Then
he flung down his hymn-book and rushed
from the church. He went home bare
headed, and the sexton brought his humil-
liating hat around after dinner. After
this Cooley intends to go Quaker meeting,
where he can say his prayers with his hat
on his head. kN H'Aei4 y'o9t.. 'f'n

Badly Sold.

In the far. back days when the School
craft Herald was established, crusaders had
not been heard of and some editors kept
ga little brown jug" in the back room to
stimulate their energies. The founder of
the Herald was such man, though he
didn't care to have it known, and instead
Of "brown Jug he had kerosene can
which he used to take up 70 Kalamazoo
and have filed occasionally The boys In
the Office discovered that he was drinking
a good deal of kerosene" and they pur-
chased a can of the same size, filed 1t with
the real fluid and put it in the place ocl
cupied by his can. The proprietor ran in
one day, snatehed up the can and took a
heavy "swig" before he discovered the
cheat. The next moment lie appeared
among the boys shouting: "Pm pizened
to death ~ and overcome by the taste he
fell to the floor. They lifted him upon the
table, threw water into his face, and he
finally revived, and the foreman Of the
Office said it was perfectly heartrending to
see how sad and melancholy he looked for
the succeeding ten days. He "swore of, I"
threw the can out doors, and they say he
never drank drop aGterwards--not with
out smelling first to see II any one had put
up a job on him.

ADetermined Editor.

There is newspaper man in the eastern
part Of the State who is being bantered as
the champion railroad pass beggar. Pass
ing him by, we want TO tell little story
about an acquaintance who once published
paper on the line of the Detroit and
Milwaukee road. He was mighty
poor compositor to begin with, and the
first issue Of his paper was asight to see.
He had borrowed old bitters stereotypes to
ill up with, and his Statutory" as he
called it, contained two hundred typograph-
ical errors and half that number of gram
matical blunders. But it was foundation,
and he went to receiving subscriptions and
sending for railroad passes. He event
for'' superintendents until he had pass
over every road in the State, but these
were not enough. He sent abroad, and
finally addressed the superintendent of an
Ohio road. No answer The editor wrote
again. No answer. He wrote third
letter, and the answer came back, eco
to-W The editor turned the letter over
and wrote, "send me pass over your
road and l will." The pass came, and he
was made happy. M

Horse Notes.

The champion stallion race, which
is to come off over the Mystic Park
Course, near Boston, in September
next, is attracting the attention of
horsemen generally and owners of
stations in particular, as well as
breeders. The purse, $4,000, is the
largest ever offered for stations. The
four medals are of equal value, and
beautiful in design, which will greatly
enhance the reputation of horse
which gets place and wins one of
them. The terms are liberal, as the
entries close the 9Th Of May, but no
payment is required before Septem-
Der 1st.
The race-horses True Blue and
Weathercock, together with the
trainer, Tim Robbins, Old Peter, the
sutler. and Hughes, the jockey, and
two stable boys, arrived yesterday
morning from San Francisco, all in
good health. They were just q week
on the way. Weathercock looks all
over race-horse of the finest type.
True Blue has not fully recovered from
the injuries he received in the great
four mile race with Thad. Stevens and
Joe Daniels at San Francisco last
Autumn. True Blue will be left with
DIR. Cattanack for short time to
ascertain the extent of the mischief
done in the land of gold.-[N. Y.

An Outrageous Conspiracy.

Another case Of conspiracy in
Mendocino county, similar in its
nature to the experience of the
Strongs, has just been unearthed by
the authorities. Seven years ago a
man named Musgrove moved with his
family to Cuffey's Cove, about 30
miles above Point Arenas, and pre-
empted $50 acres Of fine timber land.
Another resident of that locality,
named Kenney, who owns large tract
of land about the Cove, and is looked
up to as monarch of nearly all the
land he can bring within the range of
his vision, conceived desire to obtain
possession of Musgrove's land, and
attempted to crafty his feelings by
telling MusgrOve that he (Kenney)
had purchased the land from certain
men who gave clear title to it. The
case was brought before the Register
and Receiver of this city to decide on
the validity of the different claims,
and there it remained for protracted
period. On the Goth Of November last
a letter was sent from this city to
Musgrove by his brother-in-law,
informing him that the writer had
been informed by Musgrove's attorney
that the Land Office had decided the
case in favor of Musgrove. 1t has
been ascertained that the letter was
posted on the Goth and left the same
day for it's destination. On the 25th
of November Musgrove compromised
with Kenney for $3.50. The poor man
had heard nothing of the decision Of
the case, and, adopted, as he supposed,
the easiest course to effect a settle
ment. On the morning of November
Goth Musgrove hitched up his teams,
and accompanied by his family, left
the cove for this city, intending to
remain here until he could find
another good place to create a home.
Eight or ten miles from the Cove he
was Overtaken by John Conway, the
Postmaster at the Cove office, who
had ridden his horse into foam to
catch the Musgroves, and was evident
ly laboring under great excitement.
Conway desired to speak with Mus
grove in the woods for q few moments,
but Mrs. Musgrove divining some
sinister design by intuition, declined
to allow her husband to hold an inter-
view out Of her sight. Conway then
remarked that he had letter for
Musgrove, and thereupon handed him
the letter announcing the decision of
the land case. The envelope was split
open at the side, and the letter had
evidently been re moved, read, and re-
placed. Musgrove called Conway's
attention to the condition of the letter
and received the consoling assurance
from the Postmaster that he did not
know how it occurred. Musgrove at
tempted to take legal action against
Conway at Cloverdale and was referred
to the United States Court, in this
city, as the only tribunal competent to
take cognizance of his case. The pres
ent Grand Jury indicted Conway for
OBTAINING letter, and his apprehen-
sion was left to Colonel Finnegass.
This officer arrested his man at the
Cove on Tuesday morning and arrived
with him yesterday. Conway gave
bail in the sum of $4,000 for his appear
ance to answer the charge Bulletin.

Murder in Jersey.

Yesterday morning the body of
Solomon KrauskOpf, young man,
was found in brook on the line
leading from Princeton to the juno
ton of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
with a pistol-ball wound through his
heart. His pockets had been rifled
and there was every indication of foul
play. Deceased was o Jew and had
been resident of this country for
thirteen years. He has brother in
prosperous business in New York city.
1t appears that at an early hour on
Tuesday morning deceased went to
Trenton to collect money, after which
he took the eight O'clock train for
Princeton in the evening. He fell
asleep on the train and went as far as
New Brunswick, where he was
awakened. He took another train for
Trenton, and when he arrived there
he waited at the depot till the owl
train for Jersey City came along, and
this train he boarded. He got off at
the Princeton junction and proceeded
along the track towards Princeton till
he reached the place where his body
was found. When he left Trenton he
had in his possession $40, watch and
chain and revolver, all of which, ex-
cepting SO, are missing. There was
unmistakable evidence that murder
was committed, for the railroad track
was despatched with gore and the
road bed so torn up as to lead to the
conclusion that there had been a
desperate struggle. Deceased was
known in this section of New Jersey
as an industrious jewelry pedler. He
formerly kept store in Princeton, and
had considerable money on interest
from people of that town. An inquest
was commenced last evening and will
be continued to day.-[N. Y. Herald
