The Brooklyn Argus gives the
following truthful description of a
wOman's way of signing her name
in a book: "She deposited her
gloves directly on the page where
she intended to write her name.
Then she turned over the leaf, and
left her muff on the next page. Not
finding place for signature, she
turned leaf in the other direction,
and left her veil as a bOOk-mark.

portion was carried to Dawes cabil
to be cooked for the pet; and if th'
boy had an ache or pain the Who'll,
gulch was ready to knock off worl
until he was we'll again.
There were few changes in the
camp. Some men were making a
fair thing oft, and were staying to
accumulate their "pile )" and others
not doing so we'll might have sought
other fields but that the presence OF
the boy made them hesitate about
going.
No father could have been kinder
to a child than Dave was to the lit
tie stranger; and the love was re.
ciprocated. While willing to tarry
for few minutes in other shanties,
the lad was not at home unless in
Dawes; and though permitting the
men to take him up and carry him
around, he had full confidence only
in Dave. '.
By-and by the over-indulgence
bore fruit. The pet grew independ-
ent, and wanted his way about ev.
erything; and Dave saw with sor-
row and anxiety that something
must be done. One afternoon, when
the boy was asleep on his blanket,
council was called, and the sub
ject of enforcing family discipline
was broached. Some thought the
boy would come out all right in the
end, and some thought that, for his
future good, he must have a curbing
hand and Dave said:
''Partners, ye know we hez all got
tender hearts for the che-ild, but we
all know that if a che. lid ar allow
ed to come up as he will, he'll he

eyes, that ar so," mused the
council.
"I wont hurt him any-in course
l wont, but I'll gin him to know
that he must mind, an then he'll
come to it after a few kicks" con-
tinued Dave. .
1t was settled that the Pet of
Peach Gulch should be coerced at
the rods end, if need be, and a
great burden was lifted off Dawes
1t was not long ere he was called
upon for a test, The pet was re-
quested not to throw stones into the
pot of bean soup over the fire. He
persisted, and when Dave remon-
strated and ordered Panl becme in.
di gnant, and deliberately upset the
kettle.
"lt'll most kill me but have
solemn duty to perform p said Dave
as he cut small Switch.
He laid the switch over the boys
back, pretending to strike very hard
but taking care not to hurt, and the
pet broke down, and promised obe-
iience in the future.
"My che-ild," said Dave to the
sobbing boy, edo ye know that l hev
got yer bringin' up, an that if ye

The child had to have one or two
more lessons, but after little time
le consented to sink his independ-
nee, ,and promptly render obedience
whenever it was asked of him. He
rev taller and stOuter as the weeks

PHILADELPHIA, May 14-The Evening Tele
graph says it is alleged by reliable parties that
S. Gross Frye, President of the Philadelphia
& Darby and the Spruce & Pine Street Rail-
way Company, has made an over issue of the
Darby stock of from $1,000 to 10000 shares and
of about 600 shares of the Spruce q Pine
Streets road. The money raised upon this stock
it is said was used to bolster up the Evans Iron
Companies, and that it was the expectation of
Mr. Frye that upon revival of the Irou trade
he would be enabled to return the moneys bor-
rowed on the stock for that company, and then
to retire and destroy the stock. On this n.y.
pothecation he realized $40 per share on the
Darby stock, and $35 per share on the Spruce
& Pine Streets Company's stock. Mr.. Frye,
whom these allegations of wrong doing so seri-
ously affects, is a man who has been long and
favorably known in this city. He is the son of
the late Hon. Jacob Frye, for many years a
member of Congress and once Auditor General
Of this state.
1t has been ascertaned tonight that the 22d
Ward National Bank, the Consolidated Bank,
the Philadelphia Trust, the Girard Trust and
other banking institutions, including number
of prominent brokers have the over issued
stock of the Philadelphia & Darby as collateral
on the borrowed money. William Frye has
made an assignment of his property for the
benefit of his creditors. A bank president said
tonight that he thought the railway company
was liable for the amount, and cited the New
Haven and other cases as authority, as the
stock was issued in the regular form, signed by
the officers and bearing the seal of the compa-

NEW YORK, May 14.-Rev. Geo. B. Bacon, in
letter to the editor of the Tribune, explain ms
his refusal to serve with HenryC Bowen on the
board of trustees af the American Congrega-
tional Union. He says: r'My reason for omit
ting the name ofBowen from the list of trus-
tees was simply that the trustees of the society
ought to be IN some proper sense representative
men in the churches by which the society was
sustained. 1t seemed to me that the trustee
whose name had proposed to omit was not
such representative man, but by general con-
sent he was understood not to represent the
church of which he was member, plymouth
chul ch in Brooklyn) whereas MI. Henry w.
Sage, whose name had proposed to substitute,
was not liable to any such objection; and that
he was not a representative man in virtue of
his business relations, because the large and
important newspaper which he controls owes
irs influence and force very largely 10 the fact
that it is avOwedy not Congregational news
paper. On these grounds l urged the adoption
of the minority nomination. | may be allowed
to add an expression of my regret that relig-
ious society should seem to give its sanction to
the theory that offices are in any SOFT for the
benefit of off ce holders. [ profess myself at a
loss to understand on what grounds the ma jor-
ity nominations should have been preferred, as
remarked privately at the close of the meet
ing, which resulted in leaving me out and in
leaving in the trustee whose name [ had pro-
posed to omit L shall find myself greatly as
sisted in the grace of humility by rejecting
who it is that has been preferred before me. 1
am very respectfully yours.
