An Evening Call under Difficulties

Boating is pleasant pastime on sum-
mer evenings, particularly when the
moon shines brightly. But two young
men, we'll known in business circles,
had a boating experience a few eve
nings since that can hardly be called
pleasant. They own boat which
they keep above the dam, and they
have some very agreeable lady ac-
quaintances who reside quite dis
tance further up the river. On the eve-
ming in question, they embarked in
their boat to row up the river and call
on the young ladies. The night was
dark, and it was not surprising, there
fore, that they lost their way and
landed half mile beyond the point
they intended to reach. Being direct
ed which way to steer, they re-em-
barked, but had not proceeded far
when it began to rain very hard, and
fog settled down upon the river so
that they could not see the boats
length ahead. They accordingly land
dence of the young ladies on foot. The
path chosen was rough one, and, to
make matters worse, there were seve-
raj bitches bank full of water into
which they fell. Perseverance will
overcome all obstacles, however, and
so it was in this case. They reached
their destination at last, wet to the
skin and covered with mud from
head to foot; but instead of spending
the evening in the parlor with the
young ladies, they sought the CRATE
full glow of kitchen fire to dry their
clothes, and then footed it to their
homes in the city, where they arrived
in what are termed the "wee sma
hours" The young men now consult
"Old Probs" before venturing out on
evening excursions.

AcKNOWLED LEDGMENT,
ION the receipt OF q Neck-tie.)
By w. HAzELTINE,

My dear sister Josie:-The tie that you sent
me,
Socunnlngly fashioned my fancy to please,
Came safely to hand, and scarcely lament
mo,
The loss OF the other through Anna Louise.
One day, in a moment OF frenzy, she caught
IL
And chucked it away in her catch-all to
soak;
Twas less than a week from the day that l
bought it,
Else might the better have rclished the
joke.
Impelled, by the force OF occasion, to shake
her,
And give her scolding for what she had
done;
But no sooner said than her mother must
take her
And tell her that "papa was only in fun."
You see for yourself how the case would have
ended;-
At least you will see how the squabble
began;
But show me the man who would not be
offended
To see his pet neck-tie destroyed, II you
can.
Accept then, dear sister, from him, the
donee,
The thanks that are due you for thus MAX
ing glad
The heart of mortal, now dancing in glee
Ger the direst misfortune that eer drove
him mad.

The State Journal wants to know, if

Democratic papers are trying to estab-
llsh, why don't the Reform Attorney
General immediately institute proceed
ings for its recovery ? Mr.. B. and his
sureties are supposed to be good for
that amount. Let the present incum-
bent certify that there is deficiency in
the Treasury Department, arising from
the defalcation of his predecessor, and let
taxpayers at once be reimbursed for this

THINK OF THESE THINGS.

When the Democrat viii show that
the State has lost one dime or one cent
by Mai Baetz as its Financial agent, "
that fair and veracious sheet may do
something towards iniuring his great
popularity with the people, which is all
it wants to accomplish. It cannot show
it, and dare not pretend to. If he was
State Treasurer at an unfortunate crisis
in monetary affairs, and made unlucky
deposits, the results of which nobody
could have foreseen, that was his own
pesonal misfortune, and if he lost money
thereby, his own concern, SO long as he
kept the State harmless, rs he did. Per
haps he was still more unfortunate IN
not having bank of his own, by which
he might have accumulated little al
ditional profit, outside of his legitimate
pay as Treasurer. Mr.. Kuehn has not
yet got through with one term, and al
though his honesty and efficiency may
not be questioned, it is too early to crow
over the results of his administration.
So far as we know, he is good officer !;
not better than hundreds of others that
might have the good or Ill fortune to be
elected to that responsible post.
But the Democrats are not in a first
rate position to impeach the integrity of
Republican Treasurers. While the rec
ord does not show, during the whole
sixteen consecutive years of Republican
administration, defalcation or nisap-
preparation of single dollar, it IS I'M
fortunately not SO favorable to Demo
cratic fnanciering. The same record
does show q very considerable Demo
cratic defalcation which has never been
made good The interest ut only seven
per cent. added to the nice little sum
abstracted from the State Treasury by
Democratic fingers, brings the amount
mp TO S64,0G0-quite formidable sum
to set down to the profit and loss account,
though a mere trihe compared with the
s'Reform" party may demur to being
held responsible for the acts of the old,
corrupt Democratic party, but SO long
as its leaders are identical with those Of
What they would have US believe is a de-
funct party, the people viii see through
the very thin disguise with which they
are trying to cover themselves, and will
not be likely to give them much chance
to reenact their old corruptions.-State

On the night of the 9th nit, one of
the most horrible railroad accidents that
has ever happened in Chill occurred on
the Santiago & Valparaiso Railroad. AS
the train from Valparaiso was passing
oyer the bridge at Limache, that struc-
ture gave way, and, with the exception
of the engine and tender, the whole
train, containing so persons, was preci-
paled into the river below The lamps
were broken in the fall, and the oil run
ming ont, ignited and set fire to large
part of the wreck. Fully one half of
the passengers were either crushed to
death or persisted by fire OF water.
