ADVENTURE IN THE UNDERGROUND
RAILWAY, LoNDoN.--A gentleman had
taken his seat in a second-class carri-
age, which had already nine occupants.
On the side opposite to him sat one Of
the prettiest women he had ever seen
She had entered the carriage accom-
panied by an elderly gentleman, who
seated himself opposite to her, and
whose attentions to the lady left little
doubt that they stood to one another
in the relation of husband and wife.
The light was exceedingly dim when
they started At Victoria station
boy, who sat next to the elderly gen.
tleman, got out In consequence of the
departure of the boy there was a NOV
ing up on the tightly-wedged passen
gers on that side of the carriage, and
the gentleman whom l first mention
ed was thus brought right opposite to
the lady whose beauty had already at
tracted his attention, and sat in the
position originally occupied by her
elderly companion. From Victoria to
South Kensington they were left in to"
tai darkness, and thisis what happene',
in the words of the narrator: "a light
little hand was laid Oh my shoulder;
l felt sweet warm breath fan my
face pair of the softest, most perfect
lips were pressed to mine with a deli
cious sensation which l cannot des'
| cribe. Then little hand slid down
my arm, thrilling every nerve In my
body, and finally deposited three lozen-
gers in my hand. AS we nealed the
lights Of South Kensington station the
hand was withdrawn. May the GENTLE
man on my left ever remain in blissful
ignorance of the mistake made by his
better half in the darkness Of that tun-
nell" Let us echo that wish, and hope
that the secret of three lozenges was
never divulged. l confess that under
certain circumstances darkness has its
advantages that Is to say if you are
not travelling with your wife.-London

A Game Of Draw i'm which
the Loser Won.

The Salt Lake Herald, OF Sept.
7th, says :" A lawyer is a lawyer
the whole world over. Yesterday
two laymen invited a lawyer to
participate in a little game called
draw The Attorney didn't UNI
derstand the game, but he took a
hand and trusted to luck. The
stakes were to be merchandise due
bills, and the Attorney innocently
planked down q $50 order, while
the others each laid out a $l2 due
biIl--tho latter sum being just the
amount each was to put in the pot.
The game proceeded, the lawyer
laid down his cards as ii came to
his turn to play, and at length he
was declared loser. He didn't
have time to play a second game !;
so he took in change for his $35
due bill one Of the $12 orders, and
was to call for the rest Mt another
time. After he had gone the win
ner took up the $50 order, and on
examining it, found that $33 95 Of
the amount had been paid, and
was endorsed on the back. BY los
ing, the lawyer had won just $40.

Great Men not Always Great
I'm Congress-.

we take issue at once with the asser-
ton, so common in England, and be-
coming SO general here, that the practi-
cal talent for business is that required
for legislature. The mere business men
in Congress are not the most successful
as legislators. They seldom give their
attention to general thoughts. Even a
great lawyer or scientist, manufacture
or of paper or the editor Of Journal
notably such men have seldom impress
ed themselves directly on debates aud
legislation,
1t Is complained that the greatest men
In America are ostracised from public
life, and that our second-rate men fill
third-rate places. The complaint is I'M
true. Horace Mann on school board
was great; in Congress he was as much
babe in the wood as Horace Greeley
off his tripod. Vanderbilt or Beecher
would DO lost in Congress. All er purte
men, preachers especially, are united
for the forum ofopen debate. It is the
full, rounded development OF all the
faculties, including that Of humor, which
is the secret spring to political success
and the test Of our greatest men.
Had Horace Mann, Horace Greeley
and Henry j. Raymond used half the
fun-power which they possessed, as Gen.
eral Schenck, General Nye, or John T.
Hale did theirs, their legislative career
would not overshadowed by their re-
nown in other spheres. Francis Jeffrey
was great reviewer, Macauley great
historian, and Bulwer q splendid gen.
ius, but their parliamentary fame is a
dust 10 the balance against their literary
glories. 1t is not mere abstract knowl-
edge Of human society or Of political
economy that makes Senatorial fame.

latter was Chancellor oft Exchequer.

But he shook his sides with Pistol on

manship.

mon it is in the epileptic form Of
hysteria, and this was probably
that of the attack under notice.
The doctor is said to feel some
what mortified at the imputation
of having been misled by the mad
do story-in common parlance,
somewhat sold. Those who have
employed him assure me that he
is a practitioner of at least average
skill. anu the impression of those
who know hint have not that
honor-seems to be that he has
quite as good an opinion of his
abilities as his admirers have. If
this be SO and he is somewhat
stiff and stilty, as his friends ad-
nit, that characteristic would nat
urally make him feel little cut
down under the circumstances.
But, if what is said Of him be
true, the only harm done. proba-
bly, has been the taking OF a little
of the extra starch out of his ruff
fies, as the saying used to be when

lars were unknown

CALIFORNIA; New Governor.

The Hon. VIM. Irwin, the Gov
ernor elect of California, is ma
tive of Butler county, Ohio, but
has been a resident of California
since 1852. He has been promi-
nent in the politics of the State
since 1861, in which year he was
elected to the lower branch of the
Legislature, being reelected In
1862. In 1899 he was ell cted a
member of the State Senate, and
was reelected in 1873. In Feb
ruary last, when Governor Booth
vacated the Gubernatorial chair to
take seat in he U. S. Senate,
Lieutenant Pacheo became Ac ing
Governor for the remainder of the
present year, and Mr.. Irwin, who
was President pro tenn of the Sem
ate, became Acting Lieutenant
Governor, position which he still
holds. Mr.. Irwin is a journalist
ofsome regulation, and was editor
of the Yreka Union from 1866 up
to last March. Since 1868 the term
of the Governor has been for four
years. The platform on which
Mr.. Irwin has been elected declar-
ed for a tariff for revenue only, a
currency convertible into silver
and gold at the will of the holder,
and the regulation of railway, gas
and water corporations, and their
charges by the legislature. Mr..
Irwin will succeed in the Guber-
netorial chair the first native Cali
fornian who has ever held the Of
fee since the admission of the State
into the Union. The Hon. Romu-
aldo Pachero, who has been acting
Governor since the 9th of Febru-
airy last, was born at Santa Barbara
of Spanish parents, and was fifteen
pears of age when the emigrants
from the United States took pos
session of the soil. He received
his education in Europe, has trav-
eled considerably, and since his
entrance upon public life has held
several offices of responsibility
In 1871 he was elected Lieutenant
Governor on the regular Republi-
can ticket, headed by Governor
Booth. and was the Independent
candidate for acknowledgement
at the election on Wednesday.
