che soon found in Miss Vanhomrigh.
Swift became acquainted with this lady
whom at the height Of his power and full

companion of statesman and courtiers.
She possessed a graceful person, lively
disposition, and taste for mental

gratitude she felt for his attentions soon
ripened into the lover, which broke hor

DORIS A RAILWAY TICKET Sc
CURE SEAT.

That's what a number OF gentlemen are
endesvoring to determine in New York
court. The suit in which tho travelling
community and railroads generally are
interested, according to New York ex-
change, grew out OF the circumstances
below stated:
Sunday afternoon, about forty psssen-
gers on the lbs T. m. Erie train from
Now York, were obliged to stand hslfthe
way to Paterson, and consequently sew
eral of them refused to give up their tick
cts TO the conductor unless he furnished
them with seats. After they had got seats
they insisted that they should not be OBJ
lged to pay their fare for the time and
distance during which they had no seats.
The conductor refused to accede to this
proposition and elected the resisting pas
sengers near Psssaic. Mr.. Joseph &. Todd,
President of the food " Rafferty, Manu-
facturers company, was one OF this party,
and he has brought suit against the Erie
Railway for $4,000. Mr., l.. @. Blan-
ming, Philadelphia jeweler, and two res.
idents of Patterson, have also decided 10
sue the Erie Railway company for dam
ages.

REcoLLEoTIoNs OF A DENTIST.

6ECOLbECllONS OF y DENTIST.
Mark TWAIN, In his now book about
England, tells how ne had the toothach,
one night in London, and gave some
pleasing recollections of the dentists shop
which he was wont to pAtronizs when he
lived in Elmirn. Ho says; "One night
that tooth did jump, and every time it
jumped it raised my head right OF the
pillow. How l did lie awake and think
about that dentists shop in Elmira, where
had boon undea toriureso many times
of those pretty dental instruments, so
polished and so cold How l did long
to lay my cheek against one
-one OF those short, thick,
heavy, twisted chaps, with tho bow
legged, hutet, and curved handles and
short hawksbili jaws, How / reyeled in
delight at the thought Of having such a
thing clutch my refractory TOOTH and
'yank IL. With what pleasurable emo
tiops came crowding into my mind the
recollections Of that dentist and bis rooms
and its fixtures--his big easy chair, will
: the pretty, white curtained window
before it, and tho Lice, big, red, glas
spit,oon 10 the left, with tho hole il
the bottom, and the bits of wet cotton
and the bright pieces Of gold and stream
OF bloodstained saliva on the sides. AM
then tho pretty little bureau with tn
bottles on the top, and the little yellow
drawers which he jerks out 80 gent
when seeking for some new and MOI
delicate instrument Of torture. And the
the beautiful little round velvet oolore
stand on the gas fixture. covered with tn
nice drills and pretty files, and the lovel
little crowbars with the stained ivor
handles, aud the long steel crochet ncedl
with which he hunts for new cavities, An,
