PETER B. SwEENEY's WIFE.-The
Utica Observer relates bit of romance
in connection with the noted New York
politician, Peter B. Sweeney, whose con-
nection with the ring transactions ne
cessitated his removal to Paris, where
he now resides with his wife.
Those who saw Mrs. Sweeney in her
youth pronounced her the handsomest
woman in the world. Her home was in
Albany. She travelled abroad, and in
Rome she met Page, the artist, who fell
passionately in love with her and pro-
claimed her his misunderstanding
the fact that he had another wife living.
She deserted him after a time for the
company of an Italian nobleman, who
gave her home which was a palace,
and lavished his wealth upon her. Swee-
ney, travelling abroad, met her and won
her heart. They were married and she
returned to this country with him, but
she did not take up her abode in his
New York city residence. He fitted up
house for her ON the Hudson and oc-
casionally he invited his friends to a
dinner party. But none among them
suspected that the fair hostess was his
wife. She had proved more devoted to
Sweeney in his misfortune than to her
other lovers in their prosperity. But
Worth makes her dresses, the Sweeney
exchequer is not exhausted.

A Chase for a Baby.

About 2 o'clock, yesterday afternoon,
lady and gentleman, together with a
number of bundles and packages, dis
embarked from the New York train at
President street depot. A carriage was
chartered, and few minutes later a
gentleman, lady and packages were all
on their way to Barnum's hotel. On
reaching Baltimore street it suddenly
struck the lady that she had forgotten
something, and after taking hurried
inventory of the articles she had started
from New York with, she discovered
that the baby had been left asleep on a
seat in one of the passenger cars. When
she began to realize this fact the lady
very properly tainted, and the gentle
man yelled for the carriage driver to
stop his horses. The carriage was stop
ped and the lady, who was still insensi-
BILE, was removed to the Office of DIR.
Wayman where she was left, and the
excited gentleman jumped into the car
riage and ordered the driver to return
to the depot. With all possible haste
the carriage reached the depot, just in
time to learn that the car containing the
blessed baby had been transferred to
Camden station, from whence it would
go westward The carriage was again
called into requisition and under the
promise of double fare, the driver sent
his horses up Pratt street towars Cam
den station at rate of speed that at
tracted the attention of every one on the
street. In the meantime the cars had
reached Camden station and had been
attached to another train. A few min.
utes before the train was to start car
riage dashed up to the depot, and a gen.
tleman, evidently greatly excited, rush
ed through the hallway, and on reach.
ing the ticket window hurriedly inquir.
ed where the cars had been transferred
from the President street depot were
standing. Mr.. Cornell gave the desired
| information, and the stranger walked of
down the platform toward the cars, but
on reaching the gate he was stopped by
the keeper, who would not allow him tc
90 through until he exhibited his ticket
| The gentleman called Officer Sunstorm
and after explaining the case, the office
went to the train himself, and in one o
the cars found the fattest, jolliest, bes
looking baby imaginable lying awake
on seat. Several Of the passengers IL
the car stated that they had noticed the
child, but supposed its parents werC
somewhere on the train. The baby was
turned over 10 its happy father, whc
stood proudly on the depot platform re
lating the facts of the case, when an
other carriage ratified up to the station
and in came the mother, whom, it vii
be remembered, was some time befort
left at the office of DIR. Wayman. l
seems that, after recovering from th'
swoon, she had hired another carriage
and followed the route her husband haC
taken. The meeting between the bah.
and his ma was quite refreshing to tn
crowd of hackmen, baggage smasher
and others who happened to be in tn
vicinity of Camden station at the time

Some Day.


Some day" we say. and turn our eyes
Toward the fair hills of Paradise.
Some day. some tjme sweet. new rest
Shall blossom, fowerlike, in each breast.
Some time. some day, our eyes shall see
The faces kept in memory.
Some day their hands shall clasp our hands
Just over in the morning lands
Some day our ears shall hear the song
OF triumph over sin and wrong
Some day, some time, but oh not yet,
But we will wait and not forget
That some day all these things shall be.
And rest be given to you and me.
So wait my friend, though years move slow,
The happy time will come, we know.
