How Bill Morrison Caught Blaine.


Mr.. Morrison has shown himself the
the equal of Blaine in the trickery and
sharp practice which has made the Ken
lucky Pennsylvania. Maine statesman SO
famous Blaine insisted that his defense re-
quired that the bogus telegram, signed "Jo-
slab Caldwell" should be admitted as evil
dence. After he was fully committed on
this point, Mr.. Morrison took him in by
motion that not only the telegram, but
all other hearsay and irregular evidence,
should be printed, also Blaine and his
brother thieves were obliged to support
the motion, and since then have not had
much to say about this class of evidence.
There are great many persons who dc
not admire these sharp turns aud tricks,
but they are the only means of exposing
such creatures as Blaine.

Gov. T,iden not an Old Man.
From the Hartford Times.


New YORK, June 8-Mr. Bryant is
twenty years older than Gov. Tilden, whom
many persons have fallen in the habit of
speaking of as al old man, But the gov
ernor is not an old man at ALL In fact he
seems to be q younger man than when
heard him speak in Tammany Hall en- the
night of his election. met him stroling
through Central Park last Sunday alter
noon and was surprised at the wiry
elasticity of his step, He was climbing up
to the Belvidere at the time, and be
mounted the ascent as actively as boy.
People who imagine that Gov. Tilden is
feeble or in danger of breaking down are
very much mistaken. His physique is Of
the kind that stands an immense deal OF
wear and tear before prostratioD comes.
Besides, the governor has always been
careful in his living, and made it rule to
take as much exercise as possible. AS to
his being an old man, that is all nonsense.

A Dying Man Ridden ON q Rail.
From the Buffalo Leader, July 81

lrfOW tne buHalO Leader, July T.
William Thede, farmer who lived at
Boston Corners, seventeen miles from this
city, adopted Louisa Flicking. On the afth
of last month he was detected by neigh
Dor, Mrs. Eva Liebler, in the act of assault
ing the girl. Mrs. Liebler gave publicity to
what she had seen, and the father of Louisa
took her to his home, and on Monday last
swore out warrant for the arrest of Thede.
He got wind of it, and rather than face the
disgrace that was about to be his lot, he
prepared a dose of poison and awaited de-
velopments. When the constable called,
Thede told him to wait outside minute,
but as he did not make his appearance on
time, the constable entered the house and
saw him swallow the dose he had prepared.
On being questioned as to what he had
taken, Thede replied, "Whisky." He was
taken to the hotel near by, where the drug
began to take effect. About this time a
mob had assembled about the hotel, and de-
manded that the prisoner be given up to
them for punishment. The constable re-
fused to comply with their wish, and they
forced him from his position and entered
the hotel. They took Thede from his quar-
ters and rode him on a rail through the
streets. A coat of tar and feathers was
talked of, but this was not carried out, as
the man was nearly dead. He was carried
back to the hotel. and shortly afterward he
died

The Rev. Mr.: Fulton, Of the Methodist
Church of Montpelier, Vermont, preached a
sensational sermon on Sunday morning on
" Kissing" GA KISS" he said, "was Or
iginally and naturally symbol of respect
and of the purest love-" Judas betraying
the Son of Man with kiss was an insult to
the human race, and the most diabolical act
ever perpetrated in the universe. The sin
of Eve was nothing in comparison. 1t was
the only kiss that Christ ever received on
his face, and there is no record of his ever
kissing. He never kissed his mother, and
his mother never kissed him. He did not
even kiss the children who were brought to
him. There was something about that face
that one did not wish 10 kiss II. But Judas,
one Of the twelve. not only kissed him, but
fondled him when there was no OccasionsfOr

dollars worth of miniature American flags,
each measuring twenty -four by eighteen

lifted out for the inspection of possible

the beautiful animal, and, encouraged by
it's quiescence, ventured to stroke his head.
In an instant that cat was the liveliest kind

Capt. McQ Question, Of the tugboat A. d.
Glover, relates IN instance Of the plIck OF
New England GIRLS which 10 worthy Of
record. At the launch Of the steam yacht
Laura ~ North Weymouth, on Tuesday
last, q hawser parted between the yacht
and the tug, and there was Imminent dan
ger of the yacht being blown on to the op.
posite shore by the strong wind then pre-
vailfng. The people on both boats frantic
ally shouted for boat to take line to the
tug, which, owing to the shoal water, could
not approach within two hundred yards Of
the yacht. Notwithstanding there were
more than score Of men rowing along the
shore, they seemed paralyzed by the upex-
pected catastrophe, and not one volunteered.
At this critical moment skiff containing
two ladies shot out from the shore, and,
passing under the stern of the yacht, one Of
the ladies caught and held the hawser while
the other, Miss Lizzie Cook, OF the Qnincy,
pulled for the tug. Any one who has pnlled
against steady wind, towing heavy rope,
will recognize the task the ladies had under
taken. Every moment the sinking rope
was dragging heavier, and the strength of
the fair rowers was decreasing the steamer
backed toward the skif until she grounded:
the result seemed problelnatical the lady
gained only inch by inch, and just as It ap-
peared certain that she was exhausted and
must give up the struggle, the thousands Of
anxiously watching eyes were relieved to
see the men on the tug reach the skiff with
q boat hook and take the hawser on board.
The tug steamed out into deep water, and
the stanchest and handsomest propeller
yacht ever built In Massachusetts, was afloat.
