CLARA MoRRIs is superstiious. Al
the last rehearsal OF new piece she often
picks up the nails on the stage if she
finds an odd number she is firmly con-
yinccd that she will have good luck dur.
ing her engagement; If an even number
she looks out for trouble. Knowing Of
this feeling the manager of the Union
Square Tneater took pains to put three
nails on the stage at the la,t rehearsal of
"Miss Eultoh," and TO clear away all
others. She found them and wa. rejoiced
but di-may seized her moment after
wards on picking up three other nails,
making six IN all. Her husband had
been at the same game with the manager,
and they had Il warled each other. The
run of the piece was unucky, being inter-
rapted by the Brooklyn fire and the seri-
Gus illnesr Of Miss Morris.

By an odd chance two lovers OF one

desired II compact by which the former
was not TO take advantage OF his earlier
freedom, but toretrain from counting the

blacks, or lines, of the carbon print is

The Joke Reversed.

a very good story is circulating
among the men about town, at the ex-
pense of one of their number. The
story is to the effect that two middle
age gentlemen engaged, some nights
ago, IN dalliance with the bowl to such
an extent that one Of them, thinking
himself a trite less dazed than the
other, conceived the idea that it would
be good plan to take the latter to an
asylum where inebridteS are sometimes
received, and leave him there under
treatment. He called hack, succeeded
in getting his friend into it, informed
number of cronies who CHANGED to be
present what ,he joke was, and, getting
III with the other, was driven off. 1t
was some distance to the asylum, and
during the trip change came over the
condition of the two men in the car
riage. The one whose head was toll
erably clear when the trip began, be-
came gradually confused under the in
tluence of what he had taken, while
the man who WAS most intoxicated in
the beginning recovered consciousness
rapidly. AS he recovered and noticed
the direction the carriage was taking,
making also, certain inquiries of the
driver, he perceived the trick his friend
was playing upon him. He resolved to
reverse the thing. The practical Joker
was in a condition to be readily man
aged by the time the asylum was
reached, and was conveyed within and
handed over to those in charge, with
out difficulty and without protest on
his part. 1t was explained that he
would be left at the place until the ex-
cellent treatment practiced by the in
stitution should restore him to sobriety.
Then the carriage drove away and the
unconscious subject was left to recover
at his leisure. He awOke sober the
next morning, and the real nature of
the situation dawued upon him. He
endeayOred to leave, but couldn't, and
remained immured for some time be-
fore he was relieved by his Joking
friend, who had come out first best.
such, at least, is the story.-St. Louis
Republican.

To the Editor of the Leader:
In your paper of to-day are two articles
relating to myself, copied from the New

from Mr. Ward Lamon, of Washington,
formerly Marsha. of the District, stating
in substance that some time during Mi.
Lincoln's Administration conspiracy was
formed by the Republicans in Congress
opposed to his Administration to depose
him from the Presidency and put either
Mr. Fremont or myself in his place as
Dictator; that written memorandum OF
tire compact was made at the time; thai
copy of it was in the possession OF MI
Chase, and by him shown to Mr.. Lincoln
Now, | desire TO brand the above state
ment in all its parts rs awilltul and mallg'

ever made such a statement as is allegea
to anyone, | pronounce him liar. saw
the article in the Tribune last week, anu
