BEHIND spirited horse, in Clinton avenue
rear Fulton street, and the front wheel OF
The buggy passed over a broken noon, which
eDtangled itself In the spoke, leaving one
end projecting from the wheel. AS the wheel
revolved this projecting point, which was
ragged and sharp, struck the horse in the
nank, and at every revolution OF the wheel
repeated the blow. The horse bounced for
ward and sped over the pavement with
amazing swiftness. AS the iron ind ictei It's
stir ss, the horse plunged on more swiftly un-
III he was In mad gallop. Mr.. Mcclure,
who had tried to check him, suddealy grew
pale and said to his son, sCharlie, we're
gone" When they reached Atlantic ave
hue, the horse turned toward Vanderbilt
avenue, and the wheels catching in the car
track, upset the carriage Ia an instant with
violent shock. Mr.. Mcclure was thrown
In complete somersault, alighting on his
head and shoulders. His son, who chung To
the relns, was thrown out on his hip. Mr.
MEG ufre's skull was fractured and his collar
bone broken. He was carried home I'm an

A BIT OF DEsCRIPTIoN-Tbee editor of
the Washington (Iowa) Press thus describes
John Morrissey as he appeared at ST. Louis
as hrst friend to Tilden: "But the most mag
nificent animal in St Louis was John MOI
rissey, ex-pugilist, ex-Congressmau, aud a
gambler. He looks like a Durham "a. thor

up-not fiabby flesh, no pronounced bay win

OF irOn-muscled like q Roman gladiator
His 1ace is by no means brutal, the eye is
not vicious, nor is the broken nose auyfbing
Ike the proboscis that that wicket Nast
always puts on Johns frontispiece. The eve
Is steady, and as Emerson says of some eyes
IL looks out at you like a loaded gun. 1t
would take tremendous pluck TO face that
Colossus In the ring. He was not dressed
nashily, had a quiet bearing; but be was
betting on Tilden. and raked In one bet OF
$4,000; we don't know how much more he
Won. John wants reform and looks to
Sammy for It."

A MILD LOOKING DEcEIvER-He was a
seedy-looking Individual, says the Louis
vile Argus, and as he stood upon the corner
gazing vistfully at the disappearing form
OF newsboy, who had Just picked up a
good sized stump and was making off with
the prize, there was a vague aspect of de-
spair in his attitude which was very touch-
ing. Perhaps IL was this which attracted
the attention OF mild-looking party who
was passing by, and perhaps IL was some
thing else, but however this may be, the
mild looking party stopped, and, gazing at
the solitary figure, addressed 10 thus:
"Old man, wouldn't you like 10 have a
drink this morning."
"You've read me as accurately as though
my thoughts were printed on an open page"
replied the solitary, taking his quid from
his mouth and passing a dilapidated coat
sleeve over bis lips.
II thought so, murmured the mild-look-
Ing party, while q tear trickled down his
cheek; "but conquer the desire. Fight
IL as You would a legion of devils for
or1nk has ruined many man who had a
more expansive forehead than you've gotl,
And then the mild-looking party contin-
ned on his way, and the solitary CARED
dreamily into space and communed with
himself.

like pair OF rosy cherries. She didn't carry
