And Had a Pleasant Chat Willing Away a
... Good Time.
A Titusvillc man, WHO appears to
have no peace OF mind untGss he is
talking politics, and very iitllc thcli,
returned from New York Yesterday,
and his story followed him on the next
train:
lie was riding in n street car Satnr.

signs III the car turned to Il large, fine

tho stranger.
"ilow's politics looking down here p"

interest in politics myself"
:. "1hings are booming all along the

"Ah! indeed"
'Fac;. never saw anything like ii .

you're going to votc?'

otl-color in some respects.
"Hcs. know, but guess TIL have
to vote For him, all the same"
The Titnsyillc man couldn't uudcr-
| stand why this should be, and pressed
an cxplanation.
OH scc," said the stranger, smil
ING pleasantly, ''I met itr. Garfield
shortly nitcr the nomination. We were
banttrlns each other. like men will,
you Know, and he proposed to vote for

"WhatH exclaimed Titusyillc. lyon

"lrs, interrupted the stranger, still
smiling pleasantly, 81 am Gen. Ham
cock, at your SERVICE"
The TitusvilIc man Immediately saw
lhc striking resemblance TO his pub
i1shcd portraits, and apoIogiZcd for not
having recognized him the moment he
enlcrod the cay; Ac certainly would
lave Known him, only that Con. Ham
cock Was lhc last person he expected
to see, Nc.
After inviting Titusviilc to drop
over to Governors Island and take
dinner with him, the General badc
him good day, and left the car. The
lHusFillc man watched his ideal
statesman and soldier disappear in the
ttmplcstuous sea- that flows along
Broadway, and then made the appali-
ing discovery that luis gold watch and
chain had bceis stolen. While hc was
iancnllng, like Rachel for her chit
tlrcn, the gentleman who looked like
Hancock was perhaps explaining to
MS pals how lie "nippcd IL yokcl's
licklcr."
