The Girl Who Married q Car
Driver.

Sarah Hill, of Providence, r. l.,
is the rich girl who recently married
a horse-car driver, and Bernard Nc.
Donald, "a years old, and 12 years in
this country, is the man. Miss Hill,
though not distinguished for beauty,
was noted for brightness in converse
ton, grace Of manners, and, above
all, a taste for dress that touched
upon genius. She came to New
York, about two years ago, to reside
with her sister, Mrs. Morris Barnwell,
at Fifty-sixth street and Broadway.
Her family is wealthy and she moved
in the best circles. 1t was one day
last winter that she met her fate,
when she had occasion to ride up
town in a Seventh avenue car, and
some weeks later she told her guar
dian what she proposed to do. Pro-
tests were of no avail, and on Feb.
ruary 10 Father Donovan performed
the ceremony in the Church Of St.
John the Evangelist. The couple
took lodgings with Mrs. Brown in
the top story Of tenement at Fiji
tieth street and Seventh avenue.
Barney is, from all accounts, an
honest, industrious fellow, and will
start up in some small business in
New strcet.-New York Sun.

An Interesting Walking Match.

The walking fever is not abating,
but rather on the increase. Not far
from the piazza where some little
lads stepped off dozen miles or
more one day recently, half dozen
children chalked off a track on the
carriage house floor, and masters and
misses contested during the after
noon. A mother, anxious for tho
health of her boy. went out to stop
the foolish performance. She was
instantly challenged, and almost be.
fore she was aware of it she had
tucked up her skirts and was pacing
round and round in grim earnest,
determined to win, which she did,
and then scolded the young ones for
walking their legs off.-Springfeld

-FRoM present appearances the
next Presidential campaign will be
tho most exciting witnessed in this
country since the foundation of the
Republic. The Democrats, made
hopeful by their recent gains and
bold by the anticipation of success,
will strain every nerve to elect their
man, and will work with a we'll
grounded belief that victory is more
possible to them now than it has
been any time during the past twenty
years. They will conduct an aggres-
sive campaign, claim that Tilden was
elected before, and thus compel the
Republicans to take the defensive.
In such . struggle the Democrats
will have the advantage. But We do
not think that they will win. The
country is not yet ready to place j"
power the very men who sought to
destroy il, and, no matter what the
policy adopted and proclaimed from
the musings. the Republican party
will doubtless be continued in power.
The respective standard-bearers will
probably be Grant and Tilden.

4 Jersey Thief's Conscientious
Wife.

Several nights ago . burglar
entered the house Of William C.
Stansbury, in Westfield, and stole
81, 400 in money. Yesterday after
noon Mr.. Stansbury received letter,
dropped in the Westfield post Office,
aud printed with a lead pencil in
rough, block characters. The letter
told him that if he would visit at
midnight certain apple tree on his
place he would find near it stone
with his money hidden under it..
Mr.. Stansbury's wife advised him
not to wait until midnight, but to go
Immediately, as no one would dare
to place the money there after he re-
ceiyed the letter for fear of detection,
and if it was there already some one
might accidentally overturn the
stone, and find 1t. Mr.. Stansbury
went by the designated place, found
a stone, turned 1t over and there lay
roll of bank notes. There was
81 900 in the roll. The letter said
that the writer was a woman; that
her husband had stolen the money
while drunk, and that she would
pay back the remaining $500 as soon
as she could. Mr.. Stansbury is
elated over the return Of the bulk OF
the stolen money.-Elizabeth IN. J.)

THE closing of the Bank Of
California agency in Gold Hill, which
has been determined upon, is an ILL.,
advised step, and one which will
doubtless be repented by the bank
authorities. Although the state of
business at this end OF the Comstock
is not very brisk just NOV, the out
look is most encouraging, and some
other corporation will doubtless open
an agency In this vicinity at an early
day. The consequence will be a
heavy loss of business to the retiring
bank.

THE hanging of two murde

-THE hanging of two murder
ers at New Kent, Virginia, was the
occasion Of = general turnout Of the
citisens as TO holiday festivity.
The victims of the moose were two
unlettered colored men, who seemed
to have enjoyed the fun as much
a. any of the crowd. The re-
ligious element 10 always in order (if
anything can be said to be In order)
at this class of public entertainments.
In this case we do not flnd that any
minister officia.ed, but that the only
religious sentiment uttered came
from the lips Of the culprits them
selves. This began in the shape of a
pious ejaculation from one Of them !:
rGood Lord, look at de folks, like
turkey buzzards in de trees" 1t con-
tinued in remarks to the effect that
the speaker would soon be in Abra-
hams bosom, and that tho good Lord
had told him that no harm should
como to him. While these religious
exercises were going on a minstrel
show was attracting considerable at.
tention in tent, . patent medicine
vendor was driving brisk business
with his aostrums, and the sellers of
pystera and other edibles were busily
refreshing the hungry multitude.
Every such piece of demoralizing
business brings US nearer the time
when public opinion will do away
with the revolving execution by rope
and substitute in its stead one Of the
painless and silent methods which
Improved acience offers.

of luck, for he had lost large sums at
the game, Brady went to collect the
money but was met by Parker, who refused to pay
it, At this the writer Wilson spoke up and said he
would not countenanco such fraud, and IL the
money was not handed over he would throw up his
