Tilton's popularity as lee
turer indicates that the public are not
inclined TO regard him as a monster
Of vice In Chicago it is estimated
that over a thousand persons were
turned away from the door, unable to
gain admission, and it was something
more than mere curiosity to see the
man, for he was unanimously APP
plauded throughout Exchange.
Is not Tilton's popularity in Chicago
an evidence that he is "monster of
vice ?" If he were to lecture in
places noted for intelligence and good
society would he be 50 popular? Do
gentlemen really take their wives and
daughters to see and hear that Tilton?
Popular, Why, we should think him
as good as a half dozen can-oan
troupes.

A Novel Cure for Quarrellng.

An old gentleman living in the west.
ern part of the State, had two sons who
were always quarreling about their play
or whatever they were doing. All
threats to punish them were OF no avail,
and at last the old gentleman hit upon
this novel method: One day while they
were engaged in one of their busiest
quarrels, he quietly cut three birch
limbs. The two boys seeing him, sud.
denly ceased quarreling, and began to
look frightened at the prospective chas-
tisement. The old man stepped up and
said, "John. you and Jim have been
quarreling long. enough, now each take
one of these limbs, and whip each other
well, or Pll whip you BOTH" at the same
time, giving each of them limb, keeping
a good one tor himself. The boys looked
at each other and smiled. swell, begin
or l will" said the father. They each
struck slight tap and then hesitated.
$50 on" said the father, and they began
again, each stroke harder than the for
mer. The old man laughed at his STRAIT
egy. The boys finally took both
hands and went at it true rap jacket
style, until suddenly they both stopped
and burst out crying. 1t was hard to de-
eide which was The most completely
whipped, or how he was whipped
whether by his brother or his fathers
strategy. 1t. is needless to add that
those boys never quarreled again in
their fathers presence.

An Irish Ghost St0ry.

A supernatural incident is said to have
occurred in the wilds OF Kerry, a short
time since. 1t seems that woman re-
siding in Genflesk received call from
the spirit of her husband, a imam OF the
farming class, dressed in a shroud and
white stockings and gloves" The far
mer in white gloves stated that since
his death, some months back, although
ne ought to be in heaven, he was .detain-
ed elsewhere on account of owing sum
of 915 to friends OF his, and he begged of
his wife to give him the money. The
womah in good faith handed him f10,
and promised to give him the rest in a
few days if he came for it. Meanwhile
she went and told the priest the circum-
stances of the case; and this gentleman,
seeing the fraud, made proper arrange
ments tor dealing with the poacher on
the ecclesiastical manor. When the
ghost, in complete burial costume, ar
rived for the bank note he was at once
received by couple of police, and
proved, as ghosts do in our day, to be a
mere pretender. He will now have to
answer for his misconduct before mag
istrate.

The New Millionnaire Senator.

VIM. Sharon, the newly elected Repub-
lican Senator from Nevada, will be the
richest member of the next Senate. He
was born in Smithtield, Jefferson county,
Ohio, in 1921, and is Of Quaker extrae-
tion. He was educated in the common
schools, and passed his early life on his
fathers farm and as a f1atboatman on the
Ohio river. Upon arriving at his majori-
ty he entered Athens College, and sub
sequently studied law in the Office of the
late Edwin NJ. Stanton, afterward the
eWar Secretary" Sharon was admitted
to practice at the st. Louis bar, but was
compelled to relinquish his ambitions IN
that field on account Of falling health.
He entered into business partnership
with his brother in 1874, at Carrollton,
H., remaining there until 1S49, when he
went to Sacramento. His property was
swept entirely away by Hood, and in
1850 he began as q real estate operator
in San Francisco, remaining there until
1864, having in the meantime acquired
fortune of $l50,00O. Upon the organiza-
tion of the san Francisco Board OF Brok-.
ers in thatsyear he began to speculate in
stocks, and in six months lost every
cent he had. He then applied to the
Bank OF California for employment, and
was sent to Virginia City, Nevada, to
adjust outstanding claims. An agency
was subsequently established there, and
he was placed at its head with unlimited
powers. He filled this responsible posi-
tion for many years with credit to him,
self and profit to the bank. AS an oper-
ator in mining stock he is noted for his
tact, business shrewdness and clever
management. To-day he is the acknoNsl-
edged king of the Comstock, on account
of his controlling interest in the mines
ON that celebrated ledge, and in their
adjuncts. He has always been a Re-
publican, and was for a number OF years
a member of the Council in San Fran
cisco.
