And, indeed, thought my eye very
likely to need minding. But he mounted
his perch again, badge in hand, and
poured out imprecatiOns like flood, while
l pulled frantically at bell and knocker.
When at last / was in my friends draw

said my host.
"No, he took it away, as I'm telling
YOU"
"Oh. but don't you remember it. You
should have taken it down with q pencil"
Then discovered what my mistake
had been.
I have never, since that first adventure
with the London cabby, encountered any
thing quite so formidable and terrifying;
but still feel that the London jehu is q
being to be dreaded. My second expert
ence of him was to drive under his aus
pices to dinner party. gave him eight
cen pence for q distance which have
since learned only entitled him to shil-
ling. He was q very polite cabman. quite
the politest cabman have ever seem. He

chOly. Then he touched his hat, and
said most respectfully:
begs your pardon, but r think as
you don't know the distances. No lady
as knew would give me less than two
shillings."
/ gave him another sixpence-I should
have done it even if / had known better.
his courtesy was so beguiling. He
thanked me swectly, and then he said:
About what time would my lady be
likely to be going 'ome? If I'm I'M this
neighborhoOd I'll come for you. It might
save you some trouble"
informed him that did not know:
but, at about eleven O'Clock, q servant
came to me and told me that the cabman
who brought me was waiting for me. SO I
submitted to destiny and went home under
his banner. -Londoa Tatsler.

regularity that may bo found in the intlict-
ment, or the law, or the prosecution; aud
certainly tho State cannot bo expected to
provide lawyers to that end. Alr. A1zgns
case is simple ono. If he can explain tho
mysterious disappearance Of his defunct

ceiver that the enormous deficiency

this, but is guilty OF having misappropriated

thns, had tie House refused to
meet In joint session to hc present
at this count, but had proceeded to elect
MIR. TirpEs by vote Of States nj represent
cd in the House, tho action "would have
been revolutionary nutl fntile, innsnuch ~
tho contingency provided in Tho Constitution
for such action Ind not occurred" This
statement of the case certainly shows ti,nt
the Democrats had everything 10 gnin and
nothing to lose in tho agreement upon tri-
bnnal Of arbitration, and that tho only risk
TINT was taken waa on the part Of tho Re-
pnblicans, who might hare lost tbs Office
which the existing condition OF things would
certainly have given tlsatn.
2. 3fr. PAINE says. in effect, that, not
wfthstantling this obvious advantage for tho
Democrats, they atill would not have ac-
qn,csced in the scheme for the Electoral
Commission had they not felt confident that
Judge DAVIS would be choacn ~ the
fftll Supreme Court Justico, and virtu-
ally the deciding member of the CotntnIs-
zion; and he might llava added that
they nlRo felt confident that Judge DAVIS
would decide III favor Of TrLDEs, for 1t was
this confidence TINT evidently constituted
their preference for him. In eaying this
much, Sir. PArsE Inns virtually confessed
that tho Democrats went into the scheme
simply because they believed thoy Ind 'sput
up a job" on tho Republicans. Men who
atand convicted of such unworthy motives
havs no right TO comriain, mud no claim Upon
public forbearauce, If their sharp practice
be subsequently defeated by unforeseen cir
Gu instances, III fact, this pretty plot Of tho
Democrats was shattered by tho Democrats
themselves; for It was Judge DAvla' election
TO the United atates Senate which prevented
his serving Oh tho Commission, and
tlat election was secured by the
Democrats Of Illinois, with tho assist-
ance eofn fow Independent votes, in opposition
to the regu1as Republican candidate. Mr.
