Since Mr.. Pierrepoint prepared that letter
which Babcock made public, he has not been
accused OF prcternatural good sense on this
side Of the water. His first speech in Eng
land closely resembled the Babcock letter.
it was very good thing not to make public.
Mr.. Pierrepoint's last public appearance rs
a dinner-orator here ought to have taught
him prudence. Some friend now should
take him by the ear and say to him sternls,

know how to hold his tongue. Tribune.

Moody was not present.

The HEATED TERN AND THE CoERsE OF
TRUE LOvE.-A widower in Baltimore Of
great weight in adipose matter took to him
self q new wife recently, and on some of her
friends expressing surprise that the wife
should have married man OF such ponder
osity and vast proportions she explained
the cause thus: She had known him some
time, and he often came to her with the
story OF his troubles in housekeeping; to
which she did lend q patient ear" He
had a grown-up daughter who was somewhat
unflial. Being, a man much given to perspi-
ration in these times, as who is not, he often
came home wanting change Of under
raiment. This the unflial daughter was
slow to furnish, needing not requests, COM
mands, groans, signs, oaths, or threats:
Further, being man Of affairs, he could
not command his own time, and his hours
Of dining were variable. Not SO was the
daughter, who never varied in giving him
cold dinner. Being somewhat OF an epicure
this was the sum Of all woes, and he often
claimed the sympathy of bis tender-hearted
neighbor. "Pity is akin to love-" sang the
poet, and the result proved 1t, for she be-
came his frau. This was her explanation,
given i'll manner Of great naivete, quite
unconscious that there was anything ludl-
crous about it.-Baltimore Sun.

JUDGING BY APPEARANCES TO THEIR Cost.
from the Chicago Tribune IA well-known
conductor on the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific road went to the depot one morning
recently to take his train, as usual, and an
officer of the road and IN officer OF the law
arrested him. On his shirt-front was five
thousand-dollar diamond pin and in his
pocket were valuable gold watch and
chain. In his trunks the officers found
$50, 900 in Government bonds. An Eastern
bank was telegraphed to, and the response
was that bail could be furnished in
100000, il necessary, as that was the
amount deposited to the conductors credit
there. This settled, it was next the con-
ductor's turn. A lawyer was called and he
politely informed the officers that the dia-
mond pin they had illegally taken had been
worn by the conductor twenty years; the
watch was carried by him years before he
went into the employ Of the company; that
the United States Government bonds they
had taken were the property OF his wife as
the proceeds Of her share i'll an estate as
heir, and so was the money in bank; and
that the best thing the company could do
would be to return what they had stolen,
and with it $4,000, and no further ques-
lions would be asked. The company ac-
copied the attorneys terms.
