He Declines the Honor.

Mr.. L. w. Cutler, of Denver, COL,
having been rendered the nomination of
city sexton, declines in the following
style: Some men were born to great
ness, some inherited, while others have
it thrust upon them. will class myself
with the latter. BY reference to the
proceedings of your honorable body, L
perceive that was unanimously elected
city sexton-an office not sought by me,
neither is it congenial to my calling in
life. The idea of cropping among tomb
stones and communing with ghosts and
goblins for q livelihood causes chill to
run down my back; then, too, to know
that L have not obtained the position on
account of my fitness for the calling, but
as reward of merit for "political dir"
| have done adds another horror to the
thought. No, gentlemen, must refuse.
would "rather be q toad and live upon
the vapor of a dungeon" than wait formy
fellow-men to die that 1 might grow fat.
Please leave me to pursue the quiet
walks of private life, that I may in the
future, as in the past, assist to elect
many g-headed politician to places of
trust and profit. Thanking you, gen
tlemen, for your kindness, remain, as
ever, yours politically, and hereby ten
der my declination of said Office to the
honorable mayor and city council.

Not His Place.

On the night of April Is, when the
lantern was about to be hung in the Old
North Church of Boston, and the build

We're crowded with a dense throng of
people, person with most anxious ex-
preston upon his face, was seen forcing
his way to the main entrance. Failing
in his efforts, he invoked the friendly
aid of policeman near the steps, with
the appeal: " 1 must go in, l must go
in, for am Paul Reveres grandson.
The policeman thus appealed to, sus-
pecting that some deceitful hummer was
