A Rather Loose JOInted Story.
IGloi,e Demoerat.1

ITS pretty true sayin' that truths
stranger'n fiction" remarked Galley TO
the old resident, as he sat in the fish
market, cramming his mouth with bone
less cod. Twenty years ago. when I
lived up in Littleboro, there was a Young
feller there named Ringe-Si Ringe. and
he was engaged to be married to a lovely
gal who was proud and considerably
poor. Old man Ringe was forebanded
and was sot agin his sons marrying the
gal, and 80 he perhibited the match
Ringe went of and married another gal.
and the gal she went of and was never
heard Of again. A few years after tbis
Ringe's wife ran of with barber and
left Ringe and ten children. Ringe he
married the BARRIERS wife that was left
behind too. In the meantime beauti-
fnl gal made her appearance in town.
and Ringe fell in love with her and mar
ried her, and / am dummed IL she didn't
turn out to be the gal he fust wanted ter
marry, but she'd been gone over fifty
years, and so they didn't know one an.
ether till after they we're married"
The old resident gathered himself up
from pile Of oyster shells where he had
been sitting, and said, with a glance of
whitening contempt;
When a man tells sieh sick, onrea-
sonable stories ~ them, the quicker he
puts on immortality the better for his
friends"

ROCHESTER Erpress: The story is
said 10 be entirely true, that at the
recent dedication Of a Baptist Church in
this country the ceremony Of immersion
was performed for the first time in that
church by a well-known Baptist minister
Of this city. When he had entered the
water, and while waiting for the candi-
date, the minister suggested that some
body should sing an appropriate hymn.
One Of the dcacOns who stood near by
heard the suggestion, and, without think
ing, struck up the familiar hymn, " Pull
for the Shore" The hymn proved to be
30 suggestive, it is stated, that neither
the minister nor congregation could re-
frain from an audible smile for some
time, and the ceremony had to be post
poned until the preacher could recover
his gravity.

RAGE is essentially vulgar, and never
more vulgar than when it proceeds from
mortified pride, disappointed ambition,
or thwarted willfulness. A ba1led dcs-
pot is the most vulgar Of dirty wretcbes,
no matter whether he be the despot Of a
nation vindicating its rights, or q don
key sinking under its load.

And speaking of watering places, I have
been told that none OF them have done well
this year, owing to the counter attraction Of
the Exhibition, thus proving the truth Of the
reverse OF the saying, thas it is an ili-wind
that blows nobody any good. The exception
to this rule has been HOmburg, which has
been very full and very animated for

and domesticity. Tho young scions OF
German imperialism used to go out
riding on sundry smali dionkeys that is to
Say that half the little prinees and princesses
rode, while their mother and the other half,
who had no donkeys, ran after the riders to
keep up with them. Evidently the Princess
Victoria is following in the footsteps Of her

started for q drive up the salzburg, and when
quite near the summit their carriage broke
down. What WAS 10 be d0ns2 The distance
one of the servants on one OF the carriage

ing his messenger, when a peasant passed,
stantly realizing the situation, and re-
cognizing the imperial party, he sprang

make him the proudest AMI happiest farmer
in all Germany by getting into his wagon
and permitting him to drive them home. The
royal pair laughed and consented. The whole
party were accommodated with seats amid
the fragrant hay, and in this g,lise the future
Emperor and Empress OF Germany, with

the little prince and princesses, came riding
back to the swellest watering place in all

The disaster which has befallen Mr. TiIden
able performances of his special representa-
tives in Washington dnrin the winter after
the last presidential election. 1t was Col
Peton, the architect Of Mr.. TiIden's* misfor-
tunes, who presided over the tTlden head
quarters, which were at the Arlington Hotel.
There Pelton reigned IN q set of connecting
parlors, and received tho cards of Senators
and members who chose to call upon him.
In curious contrast to, tho grand airs which
Peton put on was tho crowd of bummers
whom he had around him, and who staggered
about with an inflated sense that they were
the President makers. A gentleman who
used to see Tilden when he was helping pun
down the Tweed ring in New York told
house in GramerGy Park the old man
met him in o front pnrlor, took him
through another room, shutting each door
carefully behind him, and then led him up to
corner Of the rear apartment, with not O. soul
present except themselves and began to
whisper to him. Secresy is the old mans
vice, and secresy has been his undoing. Pei
ton had cipher clerk here who was busy all
winter writing and decipherng dispatches
from various points, but Tilden himself did
not trust the Wires and special messenger
was sent over to New York every night with
report from the old man, returning In the
morning with a message from the other end.
Ostentatious secresy was the leading charac-
telistic OF Iilden's representatives here, and
some Of them were not above betraying to the
Republicans all they were doing. In this way
poor old :Eilden was sold out and vanqushed
The precious set OF knavss and jaGkasses
whom he allowed to represent him here would

Tilden quite as badly In some business mat
ters as in political affairs. Decent Democrats
here were early disgusted with the vanity and
Stiffness Of Tiiden's gang oil detectives, and
much of the coldness with which the old man
| came to be regarded by members of Congress
was due to the unfortunate character Of his
trusted representatives.

NEW YORK, Nov. THE news Of the theft
of A. T. Stewart was received at II 80 q. m.

wires at the request OF Judge Hilton to the
various police precincts "The remains of A..
T. Stewart were last night stolen from the

The casket was found broken open and the
