Umbrella Revenge.

The Chicago man nurses bis
wrath and cherishes his revenge
until Il 8 auTpicious moment ar
rives when be can swoop down up.
OF his enemy and wreak the ven
geance for which his heart pant
eth. About two months since the
Chicsgo man purchased an umbrel-
Ia at q Brosdway store in New
York City. The fact Of Chica
go man buying an umbrella is in
in itself of sufficient Importance
to be mentioned among the peri
OILS strange occurrences, but when
he buys one and gets cheated the
TACT is worthy to be embalmed, as
this one is in the chronicles of our
country. The Chicago man
bought an umbrella aud wac chest.
ct, for, having served him six
weeks without being stolen or Dor
rowed, the fraudulent concern sud
denly fell into a decline, its ribs
painfully protruded and great
rents appeared in it's alpaca GOV
ering. It's owner presented him
self Before the umbrella merchant
aud generously offered TO exchange
it for new one, but the PROPOSE
tion was scornfully rejected. and
the Chicago man fell back on his
revenge. He employed negro to
parade Broadway with the dilapi-
dated umbrella expanded over him
and two sign-boards strapped a.
cross his shoulders which indicated
where the article bad been bought,
and calling particular attention to
its condition after six weeks ser
vice. The merchant caused the
sign carriers arrest on the ground
that he interfered with their
trade, but the Courts decided that
the man had perfect right 10
advertise them in that way il he
unless he should commit
some open breach of she peace
So the negro was released to con-
tinue his perambulations, and the
Chicago man had his revenge.

Can This Be Sop

We clip the following from the
Franklin Review of last week:
ga highly intelligent gentleman
of this place Informed US last Fri
day that be recently had an ex.
tended conversation with Judge
East upon political subjects, in
which Judge East took extreme
hard money positions, and defen-
ded and fortified them with most
brilliant and forcible arguments.
He said the Judge was most zeal
GUS and clear in his statements,
and presented the hard money
sidee' more forcibly than any man
he had ever heard or read after.
If this be true, and we can't ques-
tiou it, his Honor had to eat q
great deal of crow before he step-
ped upon the platform Of the mot
ley and bantling crew that nomi-
mated him."

A Strange Reunion.
San Francisco Chronicle.

Among the passengers on the
overland train bound for San Fran.
cisco. one day last week, was an
Ex-Governor of the State of Ten.
nessee, accompanied by bis family.
At one of the email stations of
the Central Pacific Road, short
distance this eide of Ogden, the
train was boarded by one of the
gambling sharps that infest the
line, on the lookout for victims to
fleece, by means of the swindling
devices practiced by the thievish
crew. The fellow succeeded in
robbiug one of the passengers of
the better part of bis travelling
capital, when the transaction at.
tracted the attention of other pas
sengers and some commotion en-
sued. The affair not occurring in
San Francisco, there was no police
there TO protect the gambler, and
he was seized and fierce demand
made for the restoration of the
plunder, with "a drawing of pistols
and threats of dire vengeance.
In the midst of the tumult a lady
In the car gave a shrek and fell
into a swoon. 1t was the wife of
the distinguished gentleman from
Tennessee. The attention of The
gambler was drawn to the Incl
dent, and Immediately his pistol
fell from his hand as if from a.
stroke of palsy, and he staggered
backward in a helpless condition,
On recovering his nerve, the gam
bier restored the money taken
from his victim and fastening to
the assistance of the lady, anu
tual recognition appeared to ensue
between the gambler and the par
ty, and the meeting was evidently |
a sad one. The remaining pas
sengers in the train perceived suf.
ficient to understand that an err
ing son had unexpectedly met
with bis parents, and that the
car was relieved of further swim
Hing attempts the remainder Of

a Tongue Amputated.
Robert f. Hurlbut, privat

Robert +. Hurlbut, private
secretary of Gov. Bishop, of
Ohio, has recently had his tongue
amputated near the root. The
chin was sawed in twain and
the jaws spread apart, in order
to take on: the diseased tongue.
The work was performed in a
comparatively short space of
time, and the patient was CON-
Portable and conscious in less
than an hour. Next day Mr..
Hurlbut walked across the
room and wrote his wants upon
paper. lie is not permitted to
attempt to speak, and of course
could not do so if he desired.
The physicians think he will be
able to articulate audibly in the
course of time. Thus far the
difficulty has been to give nour-
ishment, which has been done
by injection. Glass tubes have
been secured, and hereafter
nourishment will be given by
that means until the soreness in
the mouth is somewhat subdued.

The Teleph0ne-Awkward Results
of it's Abuse.
New YORK, Sept. 20, 1878.
To the Editor Of the ObseTver:
1t is now proposed to cover the
city with private telephone wires,
radiating from one or more centres
to all the principal business hous-
es in the city. Each centre would
be O mere switch station. One
bank, for instance, desires to com.
municate with another bank,
or one of its business customers.
The bank signals the centre sta.
tion and the agent there asks and
ascertains what is wanted, and
switches the "a wire representing
the bank upon the IN" wire, rep
resenting the house with which
the bank desires to communicate,
and the thing is done. But the
human mind stands aghast at the
possible errors to which this ar
rangement might lend. Suppose
that & bank president desired a
confidential chat with his wife at
bis uptown residence, and the a.
gent at the centre Office should
make the wrong connection and
send the following message in the
listening ear Of down town deal
er in pork +: "I'm going to bring
Jones home 10 dinner and for
heavens sake don't have your
wrapper on, and your back hair
flying" and the pork dealer will
probably whisper something in
return which will cause lasting
coldness in the bank presidents
family if they live to be thou.
sand years old
No, not until switch agents are
above errors, 10 say nothing Of
bribery and corruption, viii the
"centre system" become very pop.

The correspondent sent by
one Of the Charleston papers to
accompany the emigrants to
Liberia from South Carolina,
has given the world much yalu-
bic informatioi about the negro
republic OH the African coast.
Not the least interesting fact
disclosed is that the very life of
the republic depends upon the
maintenance of slavery in a
modified form. Slaves arc abb
solutely hired from the wild
tribes and worked on the farms
Iof the free negroes, so that the
very persons who have gone all
the way to that far-off land of
their fathers TO escape the rem
nants of prejudice which the
peculiar Institution here has left
behind, find themselves slave
owners. 1t is a striking illus
tration of the inability to carry
theories into practice, just as
they are mapped out on paper.
These American negroes are do
ing a good work in the elcva-
ton of their race, and yet they
have todo it through slavery.
