The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enqtircr recalls the following in
cident in the career of Gov. Hayes: |
first knew Rutherford Z. Hayes when he
came to Cincinnati from the Maumee
country to practice at our Bar. lie came
friendless, poor, and without patrons. |
saw him, for | was on the Bench at
the time, frequently sitting alone, pale,
blue-eyed, heavy-browed young man, evi-
IDENTIFY shy and not hopeful. One day a
wretched idiot girl was arraigned for muir
der She was the most forlOrn specimen of
unfinished humanity ever charged with
crime. Her face, horribly out of drawing,
was without spark of intelligence. She
gazed upon the Court as if she were some
dumb animal making feeble and pitiable
attempt to comprehend the meaning of
what was going on around, and of which
she seemed to have vague feeling that
she was the center and one object of atten.
tion. She was poor and without an
attorney to defend her. 1t became neces.
sary to select some one. who shall it be?
asked Judge Thurman, of us, his associates,
for it was in the District Court. suggested
the pale blonde as modest sort of a man,
who seemed to be without practice, and
Thurman responded, Certainly, who is
heT We had to ask the Clerk, who told
US Rutherford b. Hayes; and so Mr.. Hayes
was called upon to defend the poor idiot.
He did SO in such a mastery manner that
he not only acquitted the girl, but won the
admiration of the entire bar and made an
opening for lucrative practice"

A Pawnbroker's Shop.

The interior of pawnbrollcr's shop is a
curiosity. Here every article on which a
few pence can be borrowed may be found :
for a penniless family, whether reckless or
not, would pawn almost anything that is
uneatable rather than 20 without food.
And 1T has been observed as fact, that
when poor persons buy cheap articles at
these places, they often cast an inouiring
glance at the pledgcablc quality of the
thing purchased, as if making a mental
calculation how much they could borrow
on 1t if necessity arose. Within these os.
adjustments. and generally entered by a
doorway distinct from that which enters
into the shop proper, is an arrangement
known to very few except those who are in
the unpleasant predicament of recurring Il
loan. number Of boxes or recesses omen
from dark passage to the front of a counter
at the back of the shop. These recesses
are concession to pride, homage to
honest poverty, recognition of the fact
that persons do not wish their pawninps to
be known to the world. The customers
quietly take their places, each in a recess
or box, and wait their turn to be served.
They bring with them the articles that are
to be left i'll pledge for the money obtained
on loan. What Il medley it is Almost
everything portable (if not perishable) is
regarded as fish to be caught in their net.
The neat merino gown and the glossy hat

Poetical Old Bachelors.

Corneille Racine and Boileau were all
bachelors.
Gray was, in every sense, real and poeti-
cal, cold, fastidious old bachelor, at once
shy and proud, sensitive and selfish. In
looking through his memories, letters and
poems, we cannot find one indication that
he was ever under the influence of women.
lie loved his mother, and was dutiful to
two tircsome old aunts who thought poetry
one Of the seven deadly sins. Ills learning
was entombed with him. His genius sur.
wives in his elegy and odes. What became
OF his heart we know not. lie might well
moralize on his bachelorship, and call him,
self a "solitary fly"
Collins was never lover, and never
married. lie is reported to have been
once in love, and, as the lady was one day
older than himself, he used to say, jestingly,
that che came into the world day after
the fair" lIowrote an ode on the Passions.
in which, after dwelling on hope, fear,
despair and pity, he dismissed love with a
couple of lines. Such was Collins idea of
love
Smyrna times., 1876-06-28
Goldsmith diod unmarried.

Shenstone was not formed to captivate
his person was clumsy, and his manners
disagreeable. lie never gave the lady who
supposed herself TO be the object of his
serious pursuit an opportunity of accepting
or rejecting him. lie died unmarried.
When We look at a picture of Thomson,
we wonder how a man with that countc-
nance and mein could ever have written
The Seasons" or have been in love. lie
was devoted to his "Amanda" through a
long series of years, but some destiny de-
MED him domestic happiness.
Hammond the favorte of our Continental
grandmothcrs, was an amiable youth, and
wrote sonnets to "Delia." But this lady
was deaf to his pastoral strains, 50 he was
doomed to live and die alone.

TRs Carson Tribune says: " A num-
Der of our citizens, recognizing the fact
that Mr.. kellav, editor of the SILVER
STATE, had suffered persecution at the
hands of his newspaper opponents,
and also that he bad been prosecuted for
crime unwittiugly perpetrated, took
his case in hand, and started out among
our people, got up quite a subscription
for his paper. We are glad of this, for
whenever man is prosecuted, the large
hearted men of Nevada invariably rise
TO his support. All honor to thos

we. Newspaper men are subject to
more annoyance than any other class
