CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE.

In early times the candidates for Office,
the same as at present, sought by every
means in their power to replace them
selves in favorable position before their
constituents. good story is told Of a
Revolutionary soldier who was running
for Congress. His opponent was O yonng
man who had never been ito war !" and
it was the custom of the old soldier to
tell the hardships he had endured. Said
he:
Fellow citizens-I have fought and
bled for my country. | have helped TO
whip the British and the Indians. have
slept on the field of battle with 10 other
covering than the canopy of Heaven.
have walked over the frozen ground till
every footstep was marked with blood.
just about this time one of the "sov-
ereigns. = who had become greatly excited
Dver his tale of suffering. walked up in
front of the speaker. wiped the tears
from his eyes with the extremity of his
coat-tail. and interrupted with
{" Did you say you had fout the British
and Injuns ?"
Yes, sir"
did you say you had slept on the
ground without any kiver while serving
your country 2"
II did"
Did you say your feet kivered the
ground you walked on over with blood?"
Yes, replied the speaker, exultingly.
Well, then" said the fearful citizen,
as he gave sigh Of pentup emotion, +"
guess I'll vote for t'other fellow, for you
have done enough for your country"

BY THE FEAR OF WANT.
From the New York World

Late last Tuesday afternoon police
man saw richly dressed woman wander
Ing hstlessly about on Broadway, near
fourteenth street, and believing her in
sane took herto Bellevue Hospital, where
she gave her name as Mrs. Gleason. re-
fuslng to answer all other questions.
Saturday night she was taken to the In
sane Asylum on Blackwell's Ilsand, but
before going she told one of the matrons
that she lived at certain house on Forty
second street. Inquiry at this house
showed that some four months ago Mrs.
Gleason took board there. For time
she paid her bill promptly. Two montha
she ceased doing so. but owing 10 her
pleasant manner and intelligent conyer-
satlon her landlady had no desire to part
company with her. rather being willing
to wait the payment of her bill until such
time as her guest could more conveniently
settle. As spe wore handsome diamonds.
moreover. there seemed little danger that
she would not eventually be able to set
tie her obligations. Just about this time
man began calling on Mrs. Gleason.
who was introduced as Mr.. George White.
Mrs. Gleason's uncle With him Mrs.
Gleason frequently went to theaters and
other places of amusement, and on her
return was often under the influence of
great excitement This continued for
several weeks, Mr.. White calling very
often and seeming passionately devoted
to his relative. Last Sunday afternoon
be called for her, and the two went out
together, from which time her landlady
has seen nothing of her. Her wardrobe,
containing many valuable dresses. re-
mains at the house on Forty-second
street. Mrs. Gleason is about forty years
of age and very handsome During her
stay in Bellevue no visitors came to see
her
Further inquiry cleaned the additional
facts that her husband, twenty years ago,
was an officer in the Custom House in
this city aud very rich. They lived in
Bond street. and she wanted nothing.
During the war Mr. Gleason died leav-
ing his estate in such condition that his
wife got barely pittance. Since that
time she has received small remittances
from wealthy uncle who lives somewhere
in Massachusetts. These remittances,
however. were insufficient to support
her. and she was Obliged to part with all
her jewelry and valuables except the dia-
monds referred to. With them she re-
fused to part, as they were the only rel
les left of her former life Finally the
remittances ceased, and. driven to des-
peration by the fear of possible destitu-
ton. she was found by the police in the
condition above stated

PROPHECY. - Senator Morton in
March. 1872, thus propaesied the position
which Mr.. Hayes will occupy should he
be counted in by the Returning Boards of
Louisiana and Florida = There is immi-
nent danger of revolution to the nation
whenever the result of Presidential
election is to be determined by the vote
Of State in which the choice of the elec-
tors has been irregular or is alleged to
have been carried by fraud or violence,
and where there is no method of having
these questions examined or settled in
advance where the choice for President
depends upon the election in a State
which has been publicly characterized by
fraud or violence, and in which one party
is alleged to have triumphed and secured
the certificates OF election by chicanery
Or the fraudulent interposition Of the
courts. Such President would in adj
vance be shorn of his moral power and
authority in his office would be looked
upona an usurper, and the consequences
that would result from such state of
things no man can predict But it may
be compared to what has so often oc-
Cured In history. where the successor to
the crown In monarchy was belived by
large part of the nation to be ilegiti-
mate, or not be rightfnlly entitled there
to, under the laws or usages of the
nation.'

sTRoUsBERG, THE RUSSIAN sWINDLBR

DIR. Strousberg and his accomplices in
the Moscow Commerce and Loan Bank
swindle have been found guilty. This
case has excited the people of Russia al
most as much as the Servian war. The
bank failed last November, and the cat
fstrophe was brought about by the bank
rnptcy OF DR.. Strousberg aud by the con-
sequent impossibility of realizing the
loan OF Z 1000, 600 ronbles which the bank
had advanced to him. The capital of
this institution was 1000, 000, and accord
ing to the charter, whenever one-fourth
OF the capital-in this case $50 900 rou-
bles-was lost, the affairs had to be wound
up, SO that the whole of the loss would
fall on the shareholders, and none on the
deposltors and creditors. Such charters
have given the commercial public great
confidence in the Russian banks, although
II has been for some time well known
that they were practically at the mercy
OF the managing directors, and that in
many cases the council-as the board of
directors is called-rarely meets, and is
exceedingly remiss in its duties of inspec-
ton and supervision. Banks in Russia
have been but recently established, and
the practice of deposits and of payment
by checks has been of gradual introduc-
ton, and cannot yet be called general.
Great therefore was the shock when it be-
came know that the Commerce and Loan
Bank had refused to pay two checks for
the sums of $4,000 and So, 900 roubles.
that its books had been taken into posses
sion by an agent of the Procurator, and
af
closed. What the exact losses are is not
even yet thoroughly known According
to the published weekly statement of the
bank. shortly before its failure, it was en-
gagged in operations to the amount OF 25,-
OOO,O roubles. After short investiga-
ton of the facts, Mr.. Polansky, the
managing director, and Mr.. Landau, in
charge of the foreign department.. were
arrested and placed in the strictest con-
fnement. Subsequently several other
members of the council, including Mr..
Schuhmacher, the mayor of Moscow
were placed under close arrest in their
own residences. and all their property
was attached. DIR. Strousberg was in
Moscow at the time of the failure trying
to negotiate an additional loan, but left
the town and was arrested on his arrival
in st. Petersburg The balance sheet
presented to the stockholders has been
proven fraudulent, and it has been shown
that Strousberg bribed the directors to
advance him the 1000 900 roubles. The
loss will be paid in full out of the per-
sonal property of the convicted directors,
so that, after long delay. the merchants
will get their money back, and Strous-
berg and his friends will go to Jail or ST
IBERIA for life, according to the dispatches.
Stronsberg has also got the Roumanlan
Government badly in debt through his
msmanagement in constructing railways
in that country. Had Strousberg oper-
ated in this country, he would probably
have been enabled to escape with his i'll
gotten millions. The case has created
great excitement in Europe.

TILDEN IN ANY CASE.

The Chicago Times thus explains the
course which events would take in case
either the Senate or the House should re-
fuse to receive the vote of one or more
States IN joint session upon the second
Tuesday in February
Snpposlng that the election be thrown
into the Honse of Representatives Un-
der the Twelfth Amendment of the Con
stitution, the House would choose the
President, the Senate the Vice President.
The Senate would be confined to the
parties named by the Electoral College
The House, which has anti-republican
majority sufficiently large for the purpose,
would. of course, elect Tilden
The majority of the Senate is republi-
can, and would prefer to elect Wheeler,
bnt would it not be compelled to choose
Hendricks
Tilden and Wheeler are residents of
New' York.
The Twelfth Amendment provides that
g the electors shall meet in their respec-
tive States and vote by ballot for Presi-
dent and Vice President, one Of whom,
at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the
same State with themselves.
Would not Congress. therefore be COM
PEELED to choose a President and Vice
President from different States
The Senate could not make its choice
first and thus forestall the action of the
House, for the Constitution provides that
the election failing by the usual means
the House of Representatives shall
choose Immediately, by ballot, the Presi-
dent"
The Senate would be restricted in the
choice of Vice President to Wheeler and
Hendricks, for 81 if no person have ma
iority, then from the two highest num-
bers on the list the Senate shall choose
the Vice President -
Suppose the House choose Tilden Pres
ident, the Senate Wheeler Vice President.
how are we TO get over the difficulty about
these gentlemen being inhabitants of the
same State?
The Senate would have to give way.
It would still be Tilden and Hendricks.

tariff by which two pullets were sold at three
half-pence, partridge or two wood-cocks for the
same, while fat lamb was to be six pence from
Christmas to Shrovetide, and the rest Of the
year four pence. In the 14th century Parlia-
ment fixed the price of fat OK at forty eight
shillings. a shorn sheep five shillngs, two dozen
eggs at three pence, and the best wine at twenty
shillings per ton. An Act of Parliament, passed
in 1888. settled the value Of beef and pork at

PRICE OF FooD In OLDEN T1MEs.-Amid the
never-ending comments on the high price of
provisions, it is difficult for us to realize the fact
that time existed in Britains history when
wheat, as food for one hundred for whole day
was worth only shilling, and the average price
OF sheep four pence. In the reign of Henry L
the price of wine was raised to six pence quart
for red, and eight pence quart for white in or
der that the sellers might be enabled to live by

bushels) the farthing loaf, was to be equal in
weight to twenty-four ounces if made of the
whole grain, and to sixteen ounces if made solely
OF white. And when wheat was only one shill-
ing and six pence per quarter, as it sometimes
was, the farthing white loaf was to contain GA
ounces, and the whole grain 96. Think of pur-

THE SUB.
From the Gold Hill News.l

Oh, the sub. the hungry sub,
With nary cent to purchase grub;
Walking the streets from daylight till dark
With weary sigh and wicked remark.
Coffee and doughnuts, without any meat,
He will dine on the curbstone aud lodge in the
street. p
Heemnst learn to go easy. with never sigh,
No whisky TO drink, though dreadfully dry;
Never has new coat. and is seldom shaved
But can tell to an inch how the city is paved.
Such is the life of the hungry sub.
Can he be happy? All, there's the rub
Happy or not, he must call it III square"
And go right along, never throwing pair.
Weary and worn with picking up lead.
There cometh day when the sub lies dead
Cold nights and cold vituals are gone with the
past
The devil has given him cases at last.

THE famous mare Flora Temple is nov

HE famous mare Flora Temple is now
thir .y-one years of age. We saw her the
other day in her comfortable box at Mr..
Welch's, at Chestnut Hill. She begins
to show the ravages of age, and we fear
that she will hardly survive the coming
winter. She is of course we'll attended
to, fed with nice mashes and led out to
take the air on sunshiny days. Bnt she
grows feeble and sometimes falls down.
What vast difference in form there is
between what she is now and what there
was over twenty years ago, when John G..
Perrin and his brother, Geo. e. Perrin,
who now manages the United States
Hotel at Hartford, Conn.,, owned and
trained her. One look at good old Flora
in her present estate will convince any
body of the folly and absurdity of taking
the dimensions of horses long past their
prime, for the purpose of forming gen.
ordinations for them. - NeD York Sports
