The Man Who Gave Odds.

After strange man had finished eatins
a hearty meal at one of the stands in tn,
City Hall market yesterday, he remarked
to the woman:
"As was sitting down to this meal
said to myself that I'd bet 81 against thi,
dinner that the greenback candidate wouIC
not carry a single State. If he does. yor
win 81, and shall have it."
II want 35 cents of you," she replied
pulling off her comforter.
''Or I'll bet you So against the meal that
the democrats carry New York State. he
continued.
Il want my pay or therell be trouble
right here!" she exclaimed, slipping off her
bonnet.
cor I'll bet the same sum on the same
terms, that the Republicans will carry il. .
he remarked, as he wiped off his sandy
goattee.
Il never bet, and | want nv pay,' she
called out, being now all ready for action.
''Great heavensl but look at the odds

fearful odds that have ever been given
since the advent of the Christian era TS
81 can't help the Odds" she answered
and she got hold of his coat-tail. "You
don't leave here till get my money"
''Or I'll bet you $50 against this 35 cent
bet, he went on, ''that neither Tilden nor
Hayes will be elected. One Of them must
be, but offer to bet they won't be. simply
to permit you to coin $35 out of INV bard

She gave him two solid kicks. and was
designing and drafting third, when he
made a bolt and left coat-tail in her
grasp. While an officer was looking for
him around the market. he was nlScidly

"Up Salt River.,,

The origin of the expression, ''up Salt
River, as applied to a defeated party, was
as follows: Davy Crockett, the famous
Kentucky Congressman. while Wing can
didate, was challenged by his Democratic
opponent on the stump in joint discussion.
Crockett accepted, and the day and place
were fixed, but Crockett did not appear,
and the people, thinking him afraid to do
so, rallied for his opponent end elected
him. 1t afterwards turned out that Crock
EFT, who had started for the place in ca
noe propelled by q negro. had been landed
in the forest at the head waters of Salt
River by his treaeherous guide, who then
swiftly padded off deWR~the Stream.
Crockett vas to good hunter to starve in
the wilderness, but he was totally unable
to reach the appointed place in time, and
gave it up, and with it his chance of elec-
ton. Hence the phrase "Up Salt River
meaning that party is hopelessly defeated.
Crockett, however, was more lucky two
years afterwards, being elected by hand
some majority.

DAYTON, O., Dec. 13.-Governor Hayes
vas Serenaded in this city this evening at
the house of friend, Mr.. r. c. Anderson,
where he is visiting. Early in the evening
a salute of 1856 guns was fired and a con-
course of fully 1000 people gathered about
the house with music and fireworks. The
greatest enthusiasm prevailed and the Gov
ernor responded as follows:

who Pulled the Bella Curious Epi-
sOdes

Quite recently a conductor on one of the
night train going out Of Atlanta got the
impression that some one had tampereC
with the bell-rOpe, and he seemed exceed
inglv anxious to get his hands on the of
fender. He searched through every car il
the train, until at last he pOunced upon 8
Seedy, but very quiet looking individual
whose hat needed brushing, and whose hail
needed combing.
''Did you pull my bell-line?"
The seedy man looked up with puzzled
expression, but his cOuntenanee suddenly
cleared, and he replied:
''Sit down my friend-I will make room
for you. And so you have them strung up;
have often heard that you had bell-edi-
tors in this section, but the idea of bell,
line really never occurred TO me. Did
understand you TO say that some playful
wretch-some hilarious villain"

''Well. the line was pulled" said the
