The Cincinnati Enquirer has demonstrated
that Mr.. Tflden is the second choice of the dem
Ocrats Of Ohio and Indiana as presidential
candidate. OF Ohio democrats interviewed,
$40 expressed themselves for Thurman, and
lbs for Tilden. In Indiana out of $500 repre-
sentative democrats interviewed, 1,722 declared
for Hendricks, and the remainder for Tildea.
This would indicate growth of Tilden strength
since 1876, for in that year up to the nomination
both the states here named were very hostile to
him. Indeed, this opposition was so unrelent-
Ing that 1t was used as an argument why TIL
den should not be nominated. 1t was pro-
claimed that the democracy Of Ohio and Indi-
ana would never overcome their hostility to-
wards him sufficiently to give him united
support at the polls. Now he appears In each
OF these states as second only, in democratic
estimation, TO the "favorite sons" respective
Y,-Thurman and Hendricks This showing of
T1lden strength in Ohio is of more Importance
than ever since Cincinnati has been chosen as
the place for holding the convention. 1t isa
support that can make itself felt In the nomina-
ton of ticket. and. backed by the TiIden inf1u-
ence from the adjoining state of Indiana. 1t NAV
be powerful enough TO direct the nomination.

CLEFT OVER

About midnight, q short time since, a
Detroit policeman discovered a female
seated in dark hallway and apparent
ly fast asleep. 1t was not until he took
hold of her arm that she suddenly put
her right foot against his body and sent
him down three steps and out the door
way, followed by the remark:
Young man don't you come spook-
ing around here unless you want to lose
leg!"
Who are you p' inquired the officer
as he cautiously advanced again.
you 60 long sir ~ she replied.
He was several minutes assuring her
of his official position and his desire to
5e of any service to her and when her
mind was easy on that sheexplained:
81 come down here from Canada on
an excursion and got left over.'
How long have you been here on
the stairs p'
"About an hour, guess"
"And will you go to hotel ?''
"Naww she replied, in in tones OF
disgust. "I'm going to slummix
around here till daylight, and then Pm
going to cross on the boat. You don't
catch me paying out no money at a
hotel" na ia au
"Don't you feel afraid ?"
" rather think 1 don't,' she replies,
as she rose up and showed a figure
about five feet ten in height and weigh
ing about 100 pounds. " It's kind q
dark and purity dusty in here and there
is good many rats running around but
If you hear screams for help 'twixt now
and daybreak you may reckon that
some fool of man has come along and
sassed me and that have lit down on
| him !"
Well, / guess you'll get along"
"You bet / will l can whistle some
and sing purity we'll, but If l had 8
mouth-organ and hunk of gum
might feel more lively. Never mind
though. 'Tain't over four hours to day
light, and am used to sitting up al

After being further pressed lie said
Gentlemen,i 1T is not my business .
A few days after his wife and two
daughters were coming home on the
lightning express. In his grand car
riage, with liveried attendants, he rode
to the depot, thinking of his splendid
business, and planning for the morrow.
Hark did some one say :" Accident ?"

half century, the train arrived. He
hurried toward it, and in the tender

his wife and one of his daughters. In
the car following lay his other daughter
with her dainty ribs crushed in, and
her precious life oozing slowly away.
A quart of whiskey, which was

At the first fire of the gun the dog had

CHILDREN WHO LEARNED A LESSON.

CHILDREN who try to SET themselves
" up against stepmother sometimes
get set back that they deserve, and
which ought to be of use as lesson to
others. " "
In New York, two years ago there
died Danied Berrien, who had accumu-
lated little fortune at his trade of
brush-making. Having been widower
for some years with two children, he
married again-a step that the young
Berriens resented as an injury to them
selves. They made 1t so warm for the
stepmother that their father turned
them out of his house-a proceeding
that SO astonished them that they insti-
tuted legal proceedings to be reinstated--
ridiculous measure that resulted in
failure, and in the grave displeasure of
their father. After the demise of the
second spouse, Berrien made his home
with the family of Mrs. Steele, on Sta
ten Island. There he died, and left all
his money (thirty thousand dollars) to
the Steele children, who were not of his
kin. The young Berriens were furious
over this disposition of their fathers
funds, and entered upon contest of his
will, which ended lately by the bequest
being decided legal and binding. The
main point made by the Berriens was
that their father was of iptemperate
habits, and that his indulgence in spirit
uous liquors incapacitated him from
making will. Surrogate Calvin over
ruled this objection in his decision, say
ing: Drunkenness does not of neces-
sity invalidate will. The mere fact
that man is habitual drunkard, and
non conepos in his drunken fits, is not
enough to set aside will executed in his
sober intervals. Taking the entire tes-
timony as to his conduct and converse
ton when sober, about the time of the
execution of the will, 1 am of the opin-
ion that the instrument was duly execu-
ted according to the requirements of the
statutes of this State for the testament
tary disposition of real and personal
property by the decedent when he was
of sound and disposing mind and free
from restraint, and that the same should
be admitted to probate" So the Ber-
riens find that there father Is their mas
ter even in his grave.

An Heir Rejoicing Over the Value of His In
heritance.


The pathos and deep humor OF the
colored man has been repeatedly embel-
lished in anecdote and incident of real
life but the following, as an incident
which occurred on East Third street, sew
eral days ago, is one of the best of its
kind we have ever heard, as an incident
in the colored mans characteristics A
wellknown colored man who lives on
Third street east of Chestnut, was walk
ing leisurely towards Market street,
when he met neighbor, a welI-known
coachmaker, with whom he has been
on friendly terms for many years. The
colored man approached his white neigh
Dor with his usual bland and happy
manner, somewhat heightened in glow
when he was accosted with, Why,
neighbor,you look unusually happy this
morning. What has happened to please
you so much ?''
oh ~ exclaimed the colored man,
1 am an heir. My elder brother died
and made me his heir-he gave me
large, good house-all ready for me to
move in. And am so happy! Glory
glory glory ~ burst out the speaker
rubbing his hands in great glee.
1 congratulate you ON your good for
tune. 1t will do you good in your old
age" said the white man.
In very old age-very old age" said
the colored man musingly-and then
bursting out into another pathetic flow
of feeling, he said, "Bless you neighbor
it will make me young again-it will
make new man of melt will give
better clothes and purer victuals than 1
ever eat"
When did your brother die ? new
er knew you had one I thought you
were alone in the world"
80 / am alone in the world but when
1 60 to my closet am not alone. There
I have sweet company. But / have

hundred years ago, and when he died
he willed me mansion in the skies.

Hallelujah / am rich-rich as king
and shall sit down on the same throne
with my elder brother. Think of that,
neighbor. 'Aint an heir ?" and the
old colored man, with light in his eye
and elasticity in bis step, waved his hat
to his neighbor as he passed up Third
street singing, When l can read my
title clear to mansions in the Skies" &c.

a Glowing Description Of the

EhSAASAA venus Ol the HOUR.
London Letter in Cincinnati Enquirer.l
= All tongues are wagging about the
extraordinarily great exposure in the
decolette way at the two recent queens
drawing-rooms. A few of the leading
beauties have got remarkably fine
shoulders, and naturally, as court edi-
quette demands what is absurdly
called full dress, when it is in reality
far from being full, these ladies take
advantage fthat privilege to display
them. The belle of the hour is I'M
doubtedly the Countess of Lonsdale,
Lady Gladys Herbert, whose marri-
age to the Earl of Lonsdale caused
so much talk a season or two
ago. Her dress is said to have cost
one hundred guineas, and 1t quite
looked as if it had. 1t was Of the
richest white satin, the pettiOoat being
completely covered with the most
exqpisitely painted group of flowers,
which were repeated at intervals upon
the train, The diamonds we're inde-
scribably magnificent, and on one side
of her corsage was fastened a black
pearl Of fabulous size, set round with
brilliants. From the shoulder straps
which served as sleeves hung strings
of pearls, a novel and beautiful ar
rangemept. Her loneliness is Of tho
dark Jewish type-she is called "the
Gypsy'--aRd really, when enhanced
by these magnificent adornments, she
looked like some gorgeous vision OF
Oriental royalty summoned from the
pages ofDisraeli's own glowing fiction,
The premier paid her marked attention
at the drawing-room,
