Political Document

The following from the New York
'TrsDune's 81, O. Thomas correspondent
gives something of Boss Tweed's aS semti-' 7 i:
ments: !, .
= @"Well," solilloquized Tweed, "the
administration has made at least. as
much political glory out Of my arrest
as Tilden has; and ii, it does not find
reasons for my return, as think it will,
at least to Cuba if not to Spain,' or for
my detention:i in its own hands until at-
ter the election, if the worst comes to
the worst, and [ am Immediately sur
rendered upon my arrival, then | will
prove the sorriest campaign document
to Tilden that any ambitious candidate
laid hands on. I've got secrets enough
of his to damn him at least as bad as
am damned-secrets along side Of the
blackness of which fraudulent income
returns are white as snow. l wonder if
he remembers the proposition he made
to me to bring testimony to support and
establish any statements might choose
to make If l would only '''peach'' OH
Sweeney and Hall! / can Gallup before
him some ghostly "reminiscences of those
old times. Had been left at liberty in
Spain, l should utterly have defeated
every chance he ever had of an election,
and new that he calls for my presence
in order to accomplish his political pur-
poses, he shall find that l have yet a
pow er, n 1t merely to accomplish his de-
leat in - campaign, but his political
,iea,h as we'll. Tllden is shrewd fel-
low, underestimated by his political op-
ponents, man of wonderful ability and
skill, but man whose selfish ambition
overleaps all bounds. He has overshot
ais mark this time. I've heard about
by the name of Brutus kill
ing Caesar because he was ambitious;
aud if Sammy is going to be Caesar he'll
ind that can be Brutus. As said
still have hope"

%, 90, Henry Hill, writing from Lead City
to the St. Paul Ploneer-Press under date
of October 80, has the following to say
concerning the Black Hills country
- I have learned enough Of this region
to reach the conclusion beyond per.
adventure that che Black Hills are rich
in mineral resources and timber, sur
rounded with grazing and arabic lands,
with climate as little Objectionable as
any in this latitude. But it will require
money, labor and a steady purpose to
develop this wealth that has SO lorg
lain latent to human knowledge. 81 Men
need not come here expecting to make

g-some rich placer. Heretofore one
in a thousand has done it, and hereafter
one in, ten thousand may do it. But to

that he is seeking new country, and

n Chase for a Purpose.

Yesterday evening, about dusk, an
exciting chase after shop-lifter
created momentaly stir with the
crowd that usually gathers on lower
Market street about that hour. Two
negro boys entered the clothing store
of NJ. a. David, on Market, near
Front street, and one of them pre-
tended TO be desirOus of purchasing
some clothing, and while Mr.. David
was engaged in waiting on some Gus
toners the smaller of the two COM
menced to inspect lot of pants that
were lying IN an open drawer Mr.,
Nentzel, the cutter of the establishu
ment, observing the conduct of the
boy approached and took him to the
rear OF the store, saying that he would
sell him anything he desired. After
looking at some p ,nts, he declined to
buy them, and the two BOYS went
out Of the store. bet soon returned.
when MIR. Wentzel noticed one Of them
stuff lot of clothing under his coat
then made after him and the race com
menced. The thief had the length of
the store the start. Up Market TO
Front, up Front to the Purcell House,
then through the Purcell House alley
to Second, up SECOND to Princess, and
here the thief managed to create
diversion. The thief had manage to
make good his escape with his pIurder
safe in his hand up to this point, run
ming through crowds who made no
effort to stop him, although they saw
that he was pursued and heard the cry
of ''stop thief" The distance for a
time was gradually diminishing be-
tween the pursuer and the pursued,
aud the thief thought he must
be caught i'll spite of the fair
chance which the spectators gave
him to escape. He therefore re-
sorted to ruse. He had evidently
been veil posted in "Livingstone's
Explorations in Africa, "and knew how
the natives manage to steal the young
lions from the den of the Iioness.
Livingstone says that when the lioness
finds that her young have been stolen,
she Will take the track of the thief as
the hound follows his game by the
'tnose." When she comes near over
taking the thief, he drops one of the
young, the affection for which is
stronger in the breast of the lioness
than is the feeling Of resentment. She
therefore takes her recovered treasure
back to its home, Bnd starts out again
Ill search of the other. Meantime, the
willy thief has made good his escape.
The thief of the clothing yesterday
pursued the same willy scheme. When
he reached Princess street he dropped
two pairs of pants. which Mr.. Wentzel
secured, and turned the chase over to-
the police

and were married in due form. They
left on the afternoon tram for home.
They attracted the attention of every
passenger by their lavish display of
affection. The yauhg man kept his
arm tight around the brides waist, as
if he was afraid she would vanish be-
fore he knew It, aud she didn't seem
to care if he hugged her right along
for half day. She was so terribly
homely that everybody wondered how
he could love her, and by aud by he
seemed to think that an explanation
would be in order He borrowed a
chew of tobacco of a man near the
door, and remarked: ''I'm going to

I know she isn't purity" II wouldn't

VIRGINIA.

RICHMOND, May 15-Night-In the
Southern Baptist Convention to-day
Prof. n. K. Davis of the University of
Virginia presented report on the
Italian mission. The report congrat-
ulates the convention on the hopeful
condition of the mission. There are
besides the church at Rome eight
stations at other points. The report
would have the convention instruct
the board of foreign affairs o. two
points: first, there must be no curtail-
mert of the work of the board but an
enlargement as far as possible; second,
means should be taken at once 20
double some chapel fund by earnest
Efforts within and without the bounds
of the convention. The report ap-
proves of the wisdom OF the board in
the management Of the fund but would
urge that the time has arrived when
the fund should be completed and the
chapel built.
Rev. DR.. Sampson gave an inter
esting account of the Italian mission.
The report was adopted.
Mr.. William Thayer of Charleston,
s. c., from the committee on report
of the treasurer of the convention re-
ported that the account is properly
audited and $4,000 properly dis
bursed.

Two English men-of-war have arrived

A gale is reported at Medaira which
wrecked several vessels, including two
from Bangor, Me. The crews were all

The Times, reviewing the proceed
ings at the conference, says: 'The an
nouncement of complete arrangement
between the three imperial powers is
satisfactory, but as it appears that all
the plans of positive action are re-
