A Washington special in the Boston Advertiser
Of yesterday says:
The announcement in the democratic newspa-
pers yesterday that it was Authorized by those
democratic Senators who voted with Mi. Conkliug
IN the Seuate against the confirmation of the New
York custUm-house tihcers, to say that in future
they would vote to confirm the Presidents nomi
nations, has created much comment in political
chCles and consideIahl excitement among Couk-

names to the Senate for the New York Offices as
the Senate met and shrewd poll
tlclans conjecture from this that the President

Senators. Unfortunately the statement printed
yesterday turns out, upon inquiry in democratic
quarters, not to be true. Democratic Senators,
whes asked about the matter, said that the state.
ment printed in the Post yesterday was not au-
thorZed by all, ii any, of The Senators who voted
with Conkling, anu was at variance with the
truth. Two democratic Senators who voted
against confirming the nominations said they did

admitting that they had been actaated by
selfish and unpatrlouc motives. Nothing had
occurred 10 change their opinion, although II was
urged that the democrats in the Senate ought TO
vote solid against C0nkling account oi his
treatment OF General Gordon. Ii is apparent that
the Post story was premature, If not wholly mac

support OF certain democratic Senators in his con-
test for the spoIs. The President will make new

The boy, who sells fruit and confectionery
on the train is usually very vigorous sort
of boy, with an eye strictly to business. and
with no romantic thoughts running through
his active brain. One of them came very
near running the happiness of two young
souls for life the other day.
A young man sat in the seat with pretty
girl. and though the passengers couldn't dis.
tinguish their conversation from the noise
made by the ears, it was pretty evident that
what was being said was of great interest to
the young couple.
He was saving: Jennie, darling, l have
long been wishing an opportunity 10 tell you
of my great regard for
"Peanuts?" inquired the fruit and confec.
tionery boy, thrusting his basket in front of
the pair
"No!" exclaimed the young man in an
annoyed tone, and waving his hand to one
side.
"As 1 was saying, Jennie" he continued,
when the boy had passed. on. II have long
wanted to tell you of my regard for you.
You are everything to me, and always in
MY absence my thoughts are constantly
dwelling upon
Mice candy-prize in every box" inter
rupted the boy, totally ignorant of the inter
esting conversation he was injuring. The
young man shook his head while the girl
looked mad enough to bite hairpin in two.
When the boy had left the young man re-
sumed:
II do not think you are entirely insensible
to my regard, and feel certain that you in
some degree reciprocate. Tell me, darling,
il have right to think that you are fond
off,
"Nice fresh fgs, 10 cents az The boy
saw by the countenances of the pair that he
could make no sale, and moved ahead with
the basket The young man finished with
his eyes the sentence he had commenced,
and waited for an answer. 1t came, mur-
INJURED IN his ear, that no other person might
learn its import:
"Oh, Charlie, you've no idea how happy
you make me by your avowal. You know
that care for you only, and that my regard
for you is as lasting as
"Msple candy-very nice"-said the boy,
displaying a tempting array of the delicacy.
Clear Out" calculated the young man,
between his teeth, in savage tone, aud as
the boy cleared out, he turned to his sweet
heart for the continuation of her answer.
"As lasting rs eternity. / have always
cared more for you than anybody else. All
our folks think you are just splendid, and
mother says you are as good as
Pop corn-fresh this morning
The young man rose hastily and lifted the
boy several seats down the aisle, and the
girl fell to crying in her handkerchief The
young man resumed his seat, and sat in q
moody silence until the train stopped at his
station, when. in company with the young
lady, be alghted, while the boy, after
nursing the spot where he was kicked for a
few minutes, went on with his business, in
utter ignorance OF the fact that he had per-
I haps broken up most interesting and
happy courtship.

1t Happened i'm Texas.
lSan Antonio Herald.l


1t happened right here in San Antonio
One of the parties was a consumptive from
Connecticut and the other a commercial
traveller from New Jersey. They were stop
ping at the same hotel in adjoining rooms
The drummer was out of money, but had
splendid pistol. He said to himself:
Il wonder if that hungry looking Texan
next door don't want to buy a pistof?" So
putting the weapon into his breast pocket he
walked into his neighbours room.
The invalid from Connecticut had been
reading about noted Texas desperate, for
whom there had been large reward offered,
and he fancied the description fitted his
unknown neighbor.
Consequently when the New Jersey drum
mer entered the rooms, shut the door and
put his hand in his breast pocket, the north
ern invalid began to shiver and think of his
past life.
What-do-you-wantT asked the in
valid.
The drummer drew a large ivory handled
revolver answering the description of the
one the celebrated desperadoes used on
strangers} and said:
Il want $50 tor this pistol"
The trembling hand of the invalid could
hardly find its way into his pocket.
Its a good pistol-it never misses fire."
said the drummer, bringing it to a half
cock.
"J-J-Jake-yer-ye gasped
the invalid.
The drummer took the money, laid the
pistol on the table, and went out.
As soon as the door was shut the invalid
from Connecticut breathed huge sigh of
relief, and said to himself "Pm glad the
Texas desperate took my money. What
country this is, when you are robbed in
broad daylight in a hotel. I'll leave to-
morrow for the north"
As soon as the drummer got into his room
he remarked:
'Tm in luck. Pm glad that old Texas
ruffian took my pistol l wonder who he is
going to try it on. Pm going to get out of
here in the morning, now that I've got
money to pay my hotel BILL"
And next morning both went off on the
same train. In about two weeks we will
scan the northern papers for a story about
how a noted Texas desperate robbed an in
valid In San Antonio hotel.

no autumn, that glistens like the holly while
the oak drops its leaves with the far off pros
pect of another spring. When he sees the
rushing herd of men running a race with
time, eager to march in the van of the CEN
turies, be stops. looks on, ana laughs He
take step out OF the present? No, indeed;
is there not progress enough within the am
bic of the hour? And is it not to him we
owe that beer garden, the bar, with its gas
Towering lacquered branches, with its cool
fountains of seltzer and its hot springs of
sherry, and the billiard room and cafe in
one, and that latest development of all, the
Criterion, and that visit of Paris to staring
London, the Cafe Monico? Then the skating
rink, where, unknowingly, he symbolizes
his own circle, which, to the best of his be-
lief, has beginning and an end, while he
goes round and round. These places which
have sprung up to meet his wants are the
chief fields of his fianerie; he frequents
them, enjoys them all, with an easy, contin-
uous, diluted ecstasy.
There are those who shun him. and with a
shrug dispose of his destiny, without his
ceasing for moment to be the same happy
being. For does the consciousness ever quit
him that he is the idol of the women? His
sayings and doings, though so little serious,
are sacred to them, ana will be as long as he
remains single man, for they are a most
sympathetic sex. What they don't quite
like in him they slur over with plenary
indulgence. The more credulous of men,
who believe in tomorrow and, consequently,
in wet day, are prone to neglect the easy
pastimes of these delectable ones, and to
leave time heavy on their hands. Then it is
that the man without future steps in and
wins, radiant, with his face full of Joy. The
contrast is delightful, for all the hopes of the
busy are down the vista of time; his are on
his smile; and his compliments seem so real
that they might be paraPhrased into prom
