A Trick BalJimOFe Young Men
Played on . Farmer.
From the Baltimore Sun.


A countryman, from Baltimore coun-
ty, who has been in the habit ofattsnd-
ing Lexington market, had an old
trick played on him, Saturday. Hs
had been told that if he would bring q
number Of cats from the country, he
could find sale for them at remunera
tive prices. Accordingly. on Saturday
he arrived with two bags, one contain
ing nine and the other eight full grown
cats. He went directly to the young
men who had put this trick up, and
they, under pretenss Of looking at the
animals before purchasing, left the oats
out of the bag, and they scamppered
away in all directions. For several Of
the cats the countryman had paid ten
cents apiece, aud to reimburse him for
his outlay collection was taken up.
The other bag containing eight CATS
remained on hand.

Solid New Jersey.

Tho outlook is good for Republican
success in New Jersey. The Senate is
almost sure t., be Republican by fair
majority, and the great object must be
the election Of men Of the right sort to
vote for United States Senator. From
now until 1881 the placing of a Repub
lican in the seat Of Mr.. Randolph
should never be forgotten, and always
earnestly sought. National affairs are
Of 100 great Importance now for any
laxity in the work for the cause

yohn sherman's Business Habits

John Sherman's Business Habits.
OF Secretary Sherman, an old gentle
man in Mansfield is quoted BY the
Cincinnati Commercial az saying:
"Whsn John first started into life
here he was q rather long, gawky lad,
and was not calculated to mako very
great impression by his personal ap-
pesrancs. He was extremely economi
cal, as was necessary, never spending
. cent unnecessarily. He had q quiet,
determined manner, and once star ted
in direction he could MT be turned
aside until he succeeded or satisfied
himself beyond doubt that he was not
working to successful result. He al-
ways won the confidence of his clients,
and was noted for hard labor and hard
thinking. He had no bad habits or
evil Companions. but gave his whole
mind and time and attention to his
profession and business. While not
good fellow and jovisl companion in the
usual acceptance Of the term, he was
always genial and affabls to all, and
seemed always more dssirous Of win
ming Friendships through respect than
establishing q reputation for goodfrl
lowship. While he was a public-spir-
tied and generous citizens, and far re-
moved from smallnsss in money mat
tors, he was shrswd fnancier and
naturally money making man, never,
believe, making mistake in his cal
culations about In vsstments. He made
II . rule that h. must each year lay
aside At least $500, and he regulated
his expenditures in conformity with
that determination. He never failed
to do it, and then he used more, If
there was more, for pleasure. or was
more liberal in expenses. About SIX
years after he began practice he was
able to begin the sash and blind factory
which hs saw was needed and that was
worth to him about $1,000 year for
about six ysars.It paid him in all about
$50, 900. Almost every dollar he has
to-day WAS made when he was private
citizen, or as the result Of investments
made during that time. He has very
little to show for his long years Of pub
lie life or since he has ssen paid sal
ary.

Saturday.

day. Rev. Sampson, OF Washington,

Not Recall Congress.

WASHINGTON, June &O.-Ihc House
adjournment resolution will be called
up in the Senate during the morning
hour tomorrow and amended 50 as to
provide for an adjournment some hour
in the afternoon. The amendment will
doubtless be promptly concurred in by
the House OF Representatives and the
session will terminate accordingly. The
President having in his special mes
sage this afternoon earnestly urged on
the attention of Congress his views as to
the necessity OF making immediate ap-
preparation for the service OF marshaIs
and deputy marshals for the fiscal year
which commences tomorrow, and hav-
ing by this means accomplished as
much toward procuring legislation as
he could have any hope OF accomplish
inc by recovering Congress, he con-
cluded to abandon his purpose OF lssu-
ING proclamation for its recall.

ABLAZE WITH BONFIRES.
Completion of the Sutro Tun-
mel.

SUTRo, NEv., June 30.-To-night the
mountain tops overlooking the Washoo
silver region and the Carson valley are
ablaze with bonhrcs, and the echoes oil
cannon and discharges OF giant powder
are heard in every direction. The event
which is being celebrated is the final
completion oi the Sutro Tunnel
for the reception of the water from the
Combstock mines, after ten years oi
ceaseless labor day and night, and the
expenditure OF S6,000,0O0. The power
ful engines OF the combination shalt al
the Hale d Norcross and Savage mines,
were started this morning at precisely 8
o'clock, discharging their water into the
Sutro tunnel, at the mouth OF which
il made its appearance IN
one hour and twenty minutes,
showing temperature at first of lOl
degrees, which was gradually increased
Ia IFS degrees. In eight hours tue water
in the long drowned out mines was
lowered 100 feet Everything worked
10 n charm. The wooden boxes,
constructed OF three inch tongue and
grooved Sierra Nevada pine, dill not
show leak, and not even a particle OF
steam escaped from them, so that the
tunnel, after the hot air was turned IN,
showed barely an increase of tempera-
ture. The water from the Sierra Ne
vada, Union, Ophir, the Bonanza mines,
Besh and Belcher, and Gould and
Curry will not be turned i'll for a
couple Of weeks, and after all finds IL.
way into the tunnel, it is expected
that one of tilc double line OF boxes Will
have ample capacity to carry all the
water As in engineering work the sue
cess surpasses all expectations.

is evidently the leading Democratic can
didate, SO lar as my observation goes
He is a man who means we'll Tor the
people, and whilst well known a. an un-
compromising Democrat, has many
friends among the Republicans. All the
members of the bar would be 10th to
lose him from the bench. ! would, !
know, and then, il he runs, expect 70
wound his feelings by having RepuO-
lican beat him. Mr.. Lucas is also on the
track, and is an able man, but know
little of his strength. 1t is said Martin
will ask a denomination, but he Will not
receive any aid from this end OF the dis
trict, in nv opinion. As to the Repuh-
lican destined to win in the next race, 1
cannot name him, but there are Sturgs,
Brown, Vance, Flick and others ready
for the fight"
"Who will succeed Gov. Matthew'S
Il do not know who are the candl-
dates. HereiOrd's shoes are tempting,
and the road to them is thought to be
through the Governors chair. Re-
publicans have not consulted, anu there
is no slate on our side. On the Demo-
cratic side Mr.. Faulkner is named, ana
whilst differ with him in politics we
have always been friendly, and what
ever may be said OF him, there is no
doubt as to his mental capacity to iIIl
that or any other position. II they
nominate him the Republicans should
put their oldest and wisest head ut the
top OF their ticket

They fight battles closer than We do

there will be substantial rider in
the shape Of 4 handsome Republican
majority, not only as against Ewing,

that could have been placed in the

WEST VIRGINIA POLITICS,
How the Republicans Expect to
Elect Il Member of Congress
and n Senator.

Wheeling Cor Pittsburgh Dispatch.
81 think it probable that we may be
successful i'm getting one Congressman
out of the three that our people are to
elect and that one, | honestly believe,
will come from the Third district, where
the dominant party has been so badly
split up. That will make it very difficult
for the Democrats to return the present
incumbent, Hon. John f. kenna, who is
serving his second term in Congress"
"As I said before, the party has been
split mean the Democrats. There are
two factions OF them, namely, the Simon
purcs and the Henry ). Walker party,
who are better known rs the Greenback-
crS. Mr.. Walker was, at one time, a
Simon-purc Democrat, who early and
often asked the Third diStrictcrs TO send
him to Congress. Having failed to get
Il chance to represent his people
us a Congressman, he made application
10 the State Legislature to send him on
to Washington as a Senator. This, too,
his people neglected to do. Mr.. Walker
then looked around him lor other fields
political, in which to SOW and cultivate
| his desire 10 get 4 chance TO make How
cry speeches i'm the hall OF Congress.
| Having mcditatcd upon this subject
| some time, the honorable gentleman
! finally decided to cast his lot with that
! ot the Grccnback party, party Just
! budding into existence in the south
cru section of our state. Having
once decided, Mr.. Walker forthwith be,
! came a champion OF the "more money
cause. and began to work with the
vim that has characterized his hith-
crto labors as 4 politician. In 1873, ear
| ~ spring, this change took place IN IN,
politics. and in midsummer he was
nominated on the GrrCuback ticket as
Congressman from his district. ii,
iourLt lonsmd nobly. bUtit was dcStin
ed that he should iall by the wayside
and down he tumbicd, after having re
I duccd an eight thousand Democrat,
majority ui two years previous 10 4 llttI'
over two thousand. Thus compliment
cd hv his fellow citizens, he at one,
| turned the Cyurj,r, a heretofore Demo
cratic paper, into a Grecnlack organ
and at once applied his ready pen e
that cause, never failing To rap tn,
Democracy over the kuuckics al caci
stroke OF his weapon
"This action Of Walker has won t
himmanv friends, the grcatcrnumber q
| whom are from the Democratic rank am
| file.
1T is now we'll authenticated that h
| will affiliate with the Republican
of the Third district, in order to elcc
judge JAS Brown. OF Kanawha county
/ Congressman. andin turn the Judge ha
promised his strength, as Republican
| To Mr.. Walker in the next LegiSlatur,
which convcncs in 1881, and which Wi
elect United states senator. As m
Information is from a reliable source,
DO not hesitate i'm making the assertion
that Mr.. Walker willmake oncmore Grea
struggle 10 get into the Senate OF III
United States lie will have the con
bmcI Grrrnhark vote, and with n
vote Of the Republican members OF III
