How an Actor Saved Ills Watch.


Actors like other mortals will occa.
sionally find themselves in straitened circum-
stances financially. One Of them who was the
victim ola Centennial joke on the part OF a
manager who failed to pay salaries when due,
some time ago found himself minus every
cent, and was compelled to make an arrange
ment with his landlord to take Ills effects as
security for hoard. More time passed on and
the actor was still unable to liquidate, and
one morning the landlord knocked at his
door. The actor rose and admitted him, but
Wa unable to comply with his demand. The
landlord was obdurate, and told him to va
cate. Hastily donning his attire in the land
lords presence, the latter proceeded to pack
up the young mans effects in his trunk.
Among other things he reached for was an
old blue pincushion, which he carelessly
tossed into the trunk as il it were a block OF
wood. Our hero rushed forward, and, with
tears in his eyes, and high tragic attitude,
beseeched his landlord to spare him that PIN
cushion 1t WAS his dying mothers gilt, and
the only thing he had on earth 20 remember
her by. At first his creditor laughed, but an
other dose Of eloquence about the value OF a
mothers gift, md vivid description OF a
death-bed scene when he received the pin
cushion from the hand Of his dying parent
was too much for him, and the landlord gave
hack the coveted gilt, and the actor departed
happy. When once secure outside Of the
] house, hewas not long in ripping open the
cushion, running out the bran, and recover.
Ing . valuable gold watch and chain therein
concealed. He pawned his watch, went tt
!, Philadelphia, and is now playing an engage.
ment at one Of the theatres in that city.

The proceedings were private, but
at the close of the meeting the follow.
ing resolutions were given to the re-.
porters as having been adopted:
Resolved, That it is the firm conviction of
the Democracy of Minnesota that Messrs.
Tilden and Hendricks have been fairly and
constitutionally elected to the respective Of
fees Of President and Vice President OF the
United States.
O. That we behold with regret what ap-
pears as q conspiracy upon the part OF mem
bers OF the administration and certain other
corrupt partisans assuming to represent the
Republican party, to count in Messrs. Hayes
and Wheeler in disregard Of all law, right and
precedent, and thus tor mere personal inter-
ests to defeat the will of the people, strike a
dangerous blow at our free Institutions and
jeopardize the peace OF the country.
3. That We utterly repudiate the inconsist-
ent and dangerous assumption that the Presi-
dent OF the Senate has the determination of
all questions Of dispute with regard to the
electoral vote, and also that equally absurd
claim that no fraud in State or inelieibilitv
Of an elector can be inquired into, and we an
nounce our belief that all matters at issue
should be settled by Congress, that the House
OF Representatives has equal right with the
Senate in such settlement, and We propose. 81
common with patriotic citizens of all parties
to1support it in the exercise of its constitu.
tional rights.

 WASHINGTON, April 25.--In the Senate yesterday Sargent called up the bill aboliShing the office of Supervisor of Internal Revenue and spoke at length in defence of the revenue officers of the Pacific Coast against the charges lately made of their connection with the whisky ring. He referred with great severity to the character of the statements made by the Illi- nOiS journalist, Phillips, without, however, giving him the notOrie- ty of mention by name. Senator Jones, of Nevada, yesterday be- gan his long promised speech on the money question. He made Ia very powerful argument in be- half of the double standard of gold and silver, quoting largely from the highest recognized authori' ties and making q profound i'm, pression. During the speech the Senate adjourned. He will com plete his argument tomorrow.
 In the House, yesterday, MT.
