A Fish-Hook.

From the New FORK Tribune
A thoughtful housewife in New London,
Conn, started fish hook on a strange
round of adventures not long ago, and
brought some people into curious iuXta-
positions as a result Of her pains. Find
ing the hook among her husbands papers
she thought best to destroy it, fearing it
might Nend its way into his fingers Ac-
cordingly she threw it into the fire. The
following morning her good husband
while patiently taking out from the stove
CRATE pieces of stone and partly burned
coal that had accumulated there, suddenly
found fish hook in the feshy part of his
thumb. He called surgeon, and when
the hook had been removed he put it in
his waistcoat pocket thinking to show it
to his friends and neighbours After break
fast he went out, and while on the street
met a colored woman, who passed him
with high head and a rapid pace The
two people came to an embarrassing halt.
The hook had found its way through the
side OF the gentleman's pocket. and its
point fastened itself in the waist of the
jaunty maiden. This afforded great de-
light to the small boys who gathered to
the spot from all directions Releasing
himself from the hook, the gentleman saw
his whilom captive dash away from him
and pass down the street A policeman
attempted to stop her, but before he had
succeeded in inducing her to return, he
found the fish-hook had lodged itself in
the hollow of his hand. At this point the
strange, eventful history draws to close.
The policeman found surgeon to extract
it from bis bleeding hand, and then de-
posted it in the station house to show
to the public

Gordon and Barlow at Gettysburg.

You may not be aware that it WIS Gen
eral Gorton's command which struck
the flank of the Eleventh Corps OH
the afternoon of the first day ut Gcttys-
burg and after Il short but desperate con-
flicL broke its line and swept il from the
field. In that fight General Barlow, of
New York, commander of the First Di-
vision, fell dangerously and it was
thought mortally wounded. IIe was shot
directly through the body. Two of his
men attempted to bear him through that
shower Of lead from the field, but one
was instantly killed, and General Barlow
magnanimously said to the other, "You
can do me no good save yourself if you
can" Gordon's Brigade of Gcorgians in
this wild charge swept over him, and he
was found By General. Gordon himself
lying with upturncd face in the July sun,
nearly paralyzed and apparently dying
General Gordon dis.hountcd from his
horse, gave him drink of water from
his canteen, and inquired of Barlow his
name and wishes. General Barlow said :

Please take from my breast pocket the
packet of my wife's letters and read one
OF them to mo-" which was done He
then asked that the others be torn up, ms
he did not wish them to fall into other
hands. This General Gordon did, and then
asked: Can do anything else for you,
General ?"1 Yes" replied General Bar
low, earnestly; "my wife is behind our
army: can you send message through
the incs?" Certainly l WILL" said
Gordon, and he did. Then directing
General Barlow to be borne to the shade
of a tree ut the rear, he rode on with his
command. The wife received the mess
age and came harmlcssly through both
lines of battle and found her husband,
who eventually recovered.
Since General Gordon's election to the
U. 5. Senate both he and General Rar.
low were invited to dinner party in
Washington and occupied opposite seats
at the table. After introductions Gencr.

These estimates can be regarded at
best as only rough approximations to the
probable cost of the work. The error
will doubtless be found in having nut
them too low rather than too high, as
they are based upon the supposition tha,

and gravel for 25 cents per cubic yard
and that the riprap dams ,..n be bull,

derived from the present exceptionally
low cost of all grades of labor. In addi

in quantities, which always accompany

HOW The Day Passed on in This City.
Either apathy or the weather, or both, kept
many voters at home, yesterday. The cleo
tlon was one of the tamest witnessed in this
city for years. A small vote was polled, and
from the opening of the polls until the shut
down at o'clock, comparatively few were
around the voting places, and even among
these faithful few, no excitement was an.

note was encountered. Everywhere strict or

was this the fact at the Second precinct of tho

Everywhere there was an immense amount
of scratching done. Early in the dav il was

1t there wasn't great amount of interest
evlnced during the day, the boom began at
nlghttall. Great anxiety to learn the ret urns
was evlnced, as to city and State result, being
seconded by lively desire to know what had
been done in New York, and how the Butler
ooom was sounding in Massachusetts. All this
information was sought and ascertained at the
only place 1t could be obtained, the GL BE Office.
Republicans as we'll as Democrats assembled
At the GLOBE office to hear the news. The

Doth were as close and solemn as a mnrgue.
In fact, the 7, p. got its returns from tho

O'Clock to midnight, the crowd was anxious
and good humo1ed to the last

dimensions of a good old fashioned election
