Little Jack.

saw my wife pull out the bottom
drawer of the old bureau this evening,
and went softly out and wandered up
and down until knew she had shut it
up and gone to her sewing. We have
some things laid away in that drawer
which the gold of kings could not buy,
and yet they are relics which grieve US
until both our hearts are sore. I haven t
dared look at them for year, but / re-
member each Article. There are two
worn shoes. little chip hat with part Of
the brim gone, some stockings, panta-
looms, coat, two or three spools, bits of
broken crockery, whip, and several
toys. Wife, poor thing, goes 10 the
drawer every day of her life and prays
over it and Let's her tears fall upon the
precious articles; but I dare not go.
Sometimes we speak of little Jack, but
not often. It has been long time, but
somehow we can't get over grieving.
Sometimes, when we sit alone of an
evening, I writing and she sewing, a
child in the street will call out as our
boy used to, and we will both start up
with beating hearts and wild hope,
only to find the darkness more of bur-
den than ever. It is still and quiet now.
I look up to the window where his blue
eyes used to sparkle at my coming, but
he is not there. I listen for his pattering
feet, his merry shout, and his ringing
laugh; but there is no sound. There is
no one to search nay pockets and tease
me for presents, and I never find the
chairs turned over, the broom down, or
ropes tied to the door knobs. I want
some one to tease me for my knife; to
ride on my shoulders; to lose my ak; to
follow me to the gate when I go, and be
there to meet me when I come; to call
"good night" from the little bed now
empty. And wife she misses him still
more. Here are no little feet to wash,
no prayers to say, no voice teasing for
Jumps of sugar, or sobbing with the pain
of a hurt toe; and she would give her
own life, almost, to awake at midnight
and look across to the crib and see our
boy there as he used to be. So we pre-
serve our relics, and when we are dead
we nope that strangers will handle them
tenderly, even if they shed no tears over
them.-NeaO York EVeqa51ag Post.

A Martyr to Science.

A Burlington naturalist, last Sunday,
while Investigating the causes and effect
of the poison of wasp sting, nobly de-
termined to make of himself martyr to
science, and accordingly handed his
thumb to an impatient insect he had
Gagged in bottle. The wasp entered in
to the martyr business with a great deal
of spirit, and backed up to the thumb
with an abruptness which took the sci
enlist by surprise. He was so deeply
absorbed in the study of remedies that
he forgot to make any notes of the other
points in connection with stings, but his
wife wrote paragraph in his notebook,
for the benefit of science, to the effect
that the primary effect of a wasp sting is
abrupt, blasphemous and terrific pro-
family, followed by an intense desire.
fairly amounting to mania, for am
monia, camphor, and raw brandy.-Bur-

FOR by Mr.. Tilden and his committee who
acted in the matter simply as trustees. and
received the whole amount not for them
selves, but for the stock AID bond holders in
terested. In other words, as agents. Mr.
Tilden and his associates received $3.50 000
of stock of the new company, which they APP
proprlated to their own use, instead Of ae-
counting for it to the principals for whom
they acted. The. suit is brought for that
quarter of million of stock embezzed Sv
M. Tilden and his committee
But Mr. Iilden and his committee didn't
stop with that quarter of million grab. The
total claims against the old company for
which first-mortgage bonds of the new COM
pany were issued at par were 80, 045, TAO 4
But Mr. ilden and his committee issued to
themselves as trustees for these creditors
%, 200, 000-leaving balance of 1854, 259.59
of first-mortgage bonds unaccounted for, and
for which Mr.. Tilden and his associates on the
committee are sued. Of second-mortgage
bonds, 4.369, 545.89 of the new company were
required for issue to creditors of the old COM
pany. Mr.. Tilden and his committee issued
to themselves as trustees to distribute these
loD, 4541l more OF these second-mOrtgage
bonds for which excess they have never &C
counted, and for which suit is also brought.
So OF the common stock they appropriated to
themselves $11O, 1915 for which judgmentlis
also asked.
The importance of mans characteris that.
in showing what he has done, it gives the
strongest assurance of what may be expected
of him. This leaf from Mr.. Tilden's record
shows that, when intrusted by the creditors
of bankrupt corporation with the business
of settling up it's affairs for the protection of
their interests, he abused his trust to defraud
them to the amount of 1896, 1865. It gives
assurance of how he would defraud the peo-
pie of the United States were he intrusted
with the Presidency.

HOW HE CARRIED NEW YORK FOR HOFFMAN.
Gov. Tilden having boosted that he would
carry the State of New York by so, 900 majority,
the New York Mail admits that, if he can sue
cessfully execute the plan by which Hoffman
was counted in as Governor of that State in
1868, he will probably realize his expectations
Its modus operandi was as follows
Rooms OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATED
CONVENTION, Oct. 81. 1868.

some reliable person in three or four principal
towns and in each city of your county and request
HIM Expenses duly arranged for at this end) to
telegraph to William M. Tweed, Tammany Hall, at
the minute of closing the polls not waiting for the
count, such persons estimate of the vote. Let
the telegram be follows: "This town will
show Democratic gain Tor loss) over last
year of -" Or this one, if sufficiently
hcan Tor Democratic) majority of - There is,
of course, an important object to be obtained by
simultaneous transmission at the hour of closing
the polls; but not longer waiting. Opportunity can
be taken at the usual half hour lul in teegraphiG
communication over lines before actual results be-
gin to be declared and before the Associated Press
absorb the telegraph with returns and interfere
with individual messages, and give orders to
fully watch the count. Very truly yours,
SAMUEL J. TILDEN, Chairman.
1t is perfectly obvious that the plan was to
count in votes enough in New York city to make
up the necessary majority for Hoffman. What
Tilden did for another he will do for himself,
if not prevented. But John Davenport has
accomplished a good deal in reforming the
balot-boX stuffing of Tweed, Tilden & Co., and
Barrel-of- Money Tiiden may find his little game
of fraud at the polls headed off.

Feelings of the Condemned.

Harry Johnson, of Paris, ILL.,, was
recently hung for the murder of his
stepson, Jacob Redmon, on the night of
December II, 1873. interviewed by a
reporter of the Indianapolis Sentinel on
the night before his execution, he gave
the feelings of condemned man more
faithfully, perhaps. than they have ever
before been given by man of his class
in such situation. This is as curious
as it is touching and expressive:
fI've got it to go through, and I
might iist as well brace up agin it as
not. I'll try an be steady. But it's an
awful thing awful. You nor no one
else can have any idee NV it. To sit
here as I'm sittin' tonight, lookin' out
through those bars, KNOWN that to-
morrer will bring the end Nv it all to
me, is kinder benumbin' me. [ cam
