Secret brotherhood Nominations.

The ring within the party-the dark
lantern brotherhood" completed their
manipulation of the nominations by the
Workingmen's party at Turner Hall last
night. The result is in accordance with
the programme decided upon by the league
i'll its secret session, with the exception Of
the candidate for mayor. The candidates
decided upon by the league in its secret
session, as we learned at the time, was to
nominate Woodruff for alderman and Stod-
dard for mayor. Word was sent to the
third ward by the director of the secret
league, at the time of the ward nesting,
not to nominate Woodruff for alder
man, as Stoddard could not be
depended upon and Woodruff was the onlv
man who would take the nomination. The
revised programme was therefore carried
out as directed by the league and resulted
as follows:
Mayor.-L D. Woodruff.
Assessor. john Barge.
Collector. Morris T. Stafford,
Police Magistrate. e. A, White.
Supervisor Aster.
Asst, Adam Marker.
- " John Lloyd.
The leag1e thought it advisable TO ig-
more their pledge and nominate John Aster
who does not belong either to the league
or the Workingmens party. To satisfy
the great desire of Hodgson for notority,
aud soothe his wounded elings at being
kicked out of the county committee by the
Boynton family, the league gave him the
Craftsmanship of the city committee where
his talent will be more useful than in the
general m anagement of the party.
After the meeting last night the active
members of the league visited ''the organ
and received the approval Of the chief
director of the brotherhood.

CROCODILE TEARS.

MIR. Philbrick, among many other living
curiosities, possesses an alligator about hall
grown, and an infant which is old enough
to crawl and go about the yard unattended.
A strange attachment existed between the
alligator and the infant, the former being SO
docile that the friends frequently spent
hours during the day in playing with each
other. The alligator would amble clumsily
to his tank, take a sportive dive, and re-
turning, he would embrace the little one, SO
to speak, and give unmistakable evidence
OF delight in receiving tender caresses in
return. SO secure seemed the friendship
between them that Mr.. Philbrick never
thought of harm, and left the playmates to
themselves to pass the time as suited their
inclination. The friendly relations did not
last long however, for Mr.. Philbrick was
startled, about 10 o'clock on Wednesday last,
hT aeonizing screams coming from the back
yard, and rushing out he found to his horror,
that the alligator had bitten the little fellows
arm almost entirely off, the fraction of limb
dangling by q slender bit of cuticle. The
poor suffering little thing moaned and wept
bitterly, and the alligator, seeing the dis
tress he had created, crawled up to his VIC
tim n shed copious tears Of sympathy, his
expressionless countenance giving him the
appearance of a subdued and sentimental
ass. Mr.. Philbrick severed the lacernted
member, dressed the stub carefully, and
the animal Is now able to waddle about on
three legs. We have often heard of " croc-
odile tears" but until Mr.. Philbrick's
statement our faith in their existence could
have been easily shaken. Tallahassee Flor

AN ANCIENT TOMB.

OF the tombs of Consular Rome, nothing
remains except perhaps the sarcophagus of
Scipio I; and it is only on the eve of the en-.
pire that we meet with the well-known one
of Cecilia Metalla, the wife of Crassus,
which is not only the best specimen of n
Roman tomb now remaining to us, but the
Oldest building of the imperial city Of which
we have an authentic date. 1t consists of
q bold square basement about 100 feet
square, which was originally ornamented in
some manner not now Ineligible. From
this rose a circular tower about ninety-four
feet in diameter, of very bold masonry, sur
rounded by a brace Of ox-skulls with wreaths
joining them, and a well .pro6led cornice /;
two or three courses of masonry above this
seem to nave belonged to the original work
and above this, almost certainly, in the
original design rose a conical roof, which
has persisted. The tower having been used
as q fortress in the middle ages, battlements
have been added to supply the place of the
roof, and it has been otherwise disfigured,
so as to detract much from its beauty as
now seen. Still we have no tomb of the
same Importance SO perfect, nor one which
enables us to connect the Roman tombs so
nearly with the Etruscan.

fHILopENA IN

The German method of managing the
pleasant play of philopena is as follows:
When q couple meet, after eating philo-
pena together, no advantage is taken of the
other until one of them pronounces the
word '~philopena." This is the warning
now the sport is to begin.
Let us suppose that a gentleman calls
upon a lady. She invites him to walk in,
and at the same time speaks the talismanic
word. If he accepts the offer to walk in he
is lost, unless she removes the ban by tell
ing him to go away.
If she asks him to take off his hat he must
resolutely keep it on if to be seated he
must stand or if at the table she should
hand him any article which he accepts she
wins the forfeit.
During all this time he endeavors to take
her by surprise, for the acceptance of any
prefer from the other wins the game. Both
are constantly exercising their wits to pre-
vent being caught, and the sport goes on all
evening.
Perhaps the gentleman brings a little
present, and says: knowing that 1 shall
lose my philopena, l nave brought it along
here it is" If she is caught off her guard
by the smooth speech, she loses, for he i'm.
mediately claims the forfeit.
If neither wins at the first meeting the
sport is continued to the second, and it may
happen that half a dozen parties meet at
the same time, all anxious to win of theiI
philopena partners, so that the scene often
becomes ludicrously amusing. 1t is :. dia.

A SHARP TRICK BY TWO TRAMPs.

Flood and Bruce are peripatetic printers,
widely known. They have a habit of turn
ing up here and elsewhere when least ex-
pected, coming without warning, and de-
parting even as the wind. By q rare chance
they have just been heard from ut Danville.
Ill, tramping from st. Louis, and heading
in this direction. They came within view
Of that city last Sunday, weary with travel
and sorely hungered. The road they came
had been overworked. The erstwhile hos
pitable farmernow sets his dog on the way
faring man instead of welcoming him to
his family. Through this departure from
the customs of the fathers, they walked
and ate not.
Thoroughly discouraged ut their repeated
failures to procure food, they yet concluded
to make one more trial on this beautiful
Sunday morning, n cautiously entered
the yard of a decent farm house, peering
about them to see that Towser did not
come suddenly around the corner. They
knocked on the front door; no response.
At the side door, no answer. They went
in. There was not q soul at home. A
table spread and q most substantial meal
was before them. 1t was like q dream
from the Arabian nights. The dinner was
doubtless awaiting the return of the family
from church. The pedestrians fell to, and
their knives and forks soon smoked with
the friction of execution. To. say that they
Jared sumptuously would convey no idea
Of the amount they ate nor the intense sat
isfaction with which the viands were re.
ceived. =
As they were finishing the feast a knock
was heard. Bruce, with unparalleled cheek,
vent to the door. There stood two other
tramps, who asked for something to eat.
Bruce, in a rare spirit Of mischief, ques-
toned them closely in regard to their tray
els, and finally asked if they would chop
wood for their dinners. They answered
yes. He then took them to a wood-pile
that he had noticed in the rear of the house,
and they went to work. Bruce n Flood,
filing their pockets with v~ictuals, stole out
the side way from the house and went to
a neighboring hill were they had a full
view of the wood-pile and the toiling
tramps. There they gloated ever the pic
ture. To make their measure Of enjoy
ment run over, the owner of the farm
house with several daughters and two stall
wart sons, arrived on the scene, the devas-
tation of the dinner was discovered, and
the two sweating tramps at the wood-pile
seized as the depredators. All was seen by
the two on the hill, from the arrival of the
family to the ignominious expulsion of the
w~ood-cutters. -Adianapolis Netcs.
