Mr.. E. V, Smalley, writing from CIeve-
land to the New York TRIBUNE in refe-
renee to the political prospects in Ohio,
says:
What will be the effect of the foolish
speech made by the Republican candi~
date for Governor at the Cleveland rati-
fcation meeting? Unquestionably to
diminish the prospects of success. The
substantial Republicans in this city con~
demn the speech in severe terms. as
1t, them" they ask, ITO be held up as a
crime to put money in railroad stocks
and bonds, for the development of the
country, and was the ownership of Cow
ernment bonds, once thought to be an
evidence of patriotism, come to be re-
garded as disgrace7 That is the plain
inference to be drawn from Judge Vests
boasts that he has never owned such
securities" Some wealthy men who al
ways contribute literally to campaign
funds say they will not give cent this
year. The speech will catch no votes to
compensate for those it will drive away.

A CAMP MEETING EPISODE,

A correspondent of the Wilmington.

from Camden Camp.meeting, in that state,
writes:
During the progress of the meeting
minister from Massachusetts. Rev. E. Da-
Wis, an author of some note, applied for
and obtained sleeping aCComm rdatiOns at
the preachers marque. On Wednesday
morning the camp was disturbed by the
news that the pockets of Rev. Messrs.
Ridgaway of EIkton, and Jones of Brook
lyn, N. Y, had been rifed of their pock-
etbooks during the night. The former
lost some $40 and the latter $25. For
some reason suspicion attached to the
Rev. Mr. .Davis,and the result was that he
submitted to search, which was instituted
but no evidence of any character was dis
covered to throw suspicion upon him ex-
Cept that his pocketbook contained about
500 and a ticket to Boston. Mr.. Davis
is said to be minister of good standing,
and is vouched for by Bishop Scott, by
whom he was ordained"

STORYOFANOLD CONVICT.

Jacob Smith, aged eighty-seven, has
just finished his third term of imprson-
ment at Barnstable, Mass.-three years
for larceny. He was there some fifty years
ago and again quarter of century la
ter. His fame is greatin the prison as the
author of a ludicrous and successful
escape from the custody of ex Warden
Robson and turnkey, Richard Nichols.
He persuaded them that he knew where
there was chest of gold buried on Cape
Cod, and one night they took him out of
prison to point out the spot to them.
When the hole, in which Nichols was still
at work, was about ten feet deep Smith
pushed the Warden into it on top of the
digger, and leisurely disappeared, ,eluding
pursuit for several months. Curiously
enough, by constantly dwelling on this
achievement, the old man had come to be
believer in this buried treasure, and
when he left the prison the other day
said he meant to dig it up, buy a ship and
become pirate. There is $25O,0O0 in the
box, he says, and he offers the prison
chaplain and surgeon $4,000 a month
each to sail the seas with him, and insists
that he will make the Warden rich.

York. Thirty years ago 1 worked in

Of my life on this piece of land, but was

A CURIOUS WILL The will of Gov
ernor Blatchett, of Plymouth, Mass, J
proved in 1878, contains the following
singular clause;
II desire my body to be kept so long
as it may not be offensive. and that one Of
my toes or fingers may be cut off, to Sc
cure certainty of being dead. | furth-
er request my dear wife, that as she has
been troubled with one old fool, she will
not think Of marrying second"

When Judge West was in the Legisla-
ture in 1861 he was the chief instrument
in securing an unjust apportionment of
the congressional districts of the state in
order that he might get to Congress. He
secured the passage of his law, then re-
turned to his constituents, obtained the
nomination for Congress in the district
he had carved out for himself, but-lo
and behold-hs aOas deteatsd. In pol
itics, Judge West has always been vic
lent and proscriptive and contains about
as much of the milk of human kindness
as hornets nest. He has long been
noted as persistent Office seeker and is
unpopular,-Ex

SALEM, Mass, June Is 1854.
Ny DEAR AMELIA:

l cannot tell you how much miss you.
Itseems as though l had lost all my rel
atives, including my grandmother and
the cooking-stove.
Why didn't 1 put you in bottle and
bring you down here with me? But /
am always forgetting something. The
other day Iwent off and forgot my Aunt
Sarah, and she's good deal bigger than
you are. Mr.. Ramsey is also a very for
getful man. He frequently goes off and
forgets his washerwoman. Mr.. Ramsey
is very fine looking man. He reminds
me of Mr., Green, the Maiden murderer.
When Mr., Ramsey goes to the peniten-
tiary, which will be very soon, we must
send him doughnuts, magazines and 9TH
er literary documents. Mr.. Ramsey can
read print very well.
/ like you very much. should like
you just as we'll if you were twelve years
older. l am very singular about some
things.
You spoke to me abouta boy whois my
rival. | should feel very sorry to kill that
boy, but he may drive me to it. l am in
hopes that he will take himselfinto pre-.
mature tomb-that he may choke himself
with large slice of pudding, but if he
does neither / shall feel forced to load
him with chains and read all my lectures
to him. That will finish him. His boots
may remain, bet the rest Of him will have
perished miserably long ere have got
through.
You must be good little girl, and al
ways mind your mother. Never let your
excellent mother feel sorry that she is
acquainted with you. If it hadn't been
for her you might have got drowned in a
soup. plate long ago. And if you hadn't
ever had any mother you might now be
in Turkey with the other Turkeys. In
fact, my dear Amelia, so conduct your
self that even on dark and rainy days the
bright sun may shine wherever yOu are,
and that the stars (Which are next to the
sun in brightness) may never flash so
brilliantly but that you can always look
steadily and hopefully towards them.
Faithfully your friend,
A. WARD.
