How Gen. simpson SSrvea u bully

How Gen. Simpson SSrVed BULLY.
When the allies occupied Paris the French
officers, at all times superior with the small
sword and equal with the pistol TO English
men, took every opportunityt to insult the Off
GERS belonging to the army of occupation, and
it has been alleged that there was club of
Frenchmen, the members of which had sworn
to devote their lives to the killing of one by
one OF the English army.
There was one Frenchman who boosted
of having killed dozen of English officers,
and promised to 60 IN in this work. One
evening he staggered as usual into his cafe,
and to his establishment actually saw one OF
those hated Anglais occupying his chair
chair, be it remembered, that na one
hitherto had dared to sit upon except him
self. Mastering his passion, he undid his
sword-heii, and having placed his sword on
one side began to insult the perfectly in
offensive English officer who sat so uncon-
sciously looking in his (the Frenchmans)
chair. He trod upon the English toes, he de-
prived the Englishman Of Ills candles, he went
from one thug on to another without at all
being able III the least apparently to disturb
the others placidity. At last lie snatched
the newspaper out of the Englishman's hand,
| and then the Briton slowly rose up, display
ing to the astoGished eyes of the Gaul a
guardsman some six feet six inches high.
The giant, bending across the table, seized
hold Of the Frenchmap's nose with one hand
! and his chin with the other, and, wrenching
his mouth open, spat down his throat. With
howl the Frenchman, holding his under
jaw with both hands, ran out of the ROOM
His jaw was broken, and neither he nor any
of his comrades We're seen again ct INA, cafe.

An American Dead Sea.

The propeller Rocket, which will soon he
placed on Mono lake, will have no trouble
about floating, as the destiny of the water is
remarkable, being inst the reyerse al that of
Lake Tahoe, in whiga the body OF a drowned

change says that for bitterness and promis-
cuous meanness the waters of Mono lake
surpasses those of the Dead sea. They opn-

Warranted Harmless.

There was a great hubbub and scraping OF
heels in the corridor before they projected a
little slate-colored man into the Jefferson
Market Police Court yesterday. lie was not
a hit abashed by the Judge or the on-lookers,
though, and when he had come mp with a
Jolt against the bar he bobbed up his head
and demanded If any one knew who " dis
cullud gemman ~ was.
" Haven't the pleasure of your acquaint-
ance," said His Honor, "but reference to
the blotter bursts up any incog. dodge of
yours. Your are plainly set down here as
Jasper Clay. Does the Court err i''
"You got it right" called out the pris-
oner. Dis is Jasper Clay, all hisself, and
dahs de makins oh a dozen stan up and
knock down tuzzles in him, too. Jes let
him hab a roun' wifi summun and you do de
specklatin'; dat's all ask fo.'
" Pm sorry to refuse so modest request, ~
said His Honor.
"Oh, y'aint gwine ter do it, ell ?" said
the prisoner, louder. "I'se so sorry.
Twould jes he fun for me 4 do little
gougin' or little cuttin'. rs game, is.
all aroun', an when dahs some lambastin'
goin' on Use bad all de way down from de
wool to do patten ledders. .Ies see," and
the small darby wheeled about and atti-
tudinized with pugilistic frrvor.
Here's an engagement for you, Mrs.
Clay!'' the magistrate called out, and there
stepped to the stand n colored Amazon with
an arm like a truck axle. The prisoner
faltered n moment, but stitlened up again
and shouted:
" IS on 1t, chillern, you bet yo' life, and
you don't bluff me wifi an ole CONAN in q
kaliker gown"
The newcomer gave Jasper Clay look
that made him quail, and then she said:
"Jidge, kin tote the ole fool 'ome He'll

But aren't you afraid Won't he

The encomium on Jasper's bravery was
deemed sufficient warrant for his harmless
ness, and he went off quite meekly.

DEM. CONVENTION.
IL Meets at saratoga. n. n. and
Organizes
John Kelly Promise. Mig .ThS<s,
And Pledges New York 20 Hancock
By $4,000 Majority.

Saratoga, Sep. 2S.-The democratic
state convention met and organized
here to-day. John Kelly was received
with great applause and made speech
cogratulating the party upon the union
existing. saying that such union guar
antees the state 10 Hancock and English
by $1,000 majority. The contesting
delegation from Kings county was not
recognized and retired from the hall.
The following is the substance Of the
platform:
Resolred, That the democrats OF the
state Of New York, in convention as
sembled, reaffirn the declaration Of
principles made at the state convention
OF 10, and ratify the resolutions adopt
ed by the democratic national commit
tee at Cincinnati.
Resolred, That tine democrats of New
York hereby pledge the thirty-fve elec-
toral votes of the state to Winfield S.
Hancock for president, and to VIM. ii.
English for vice president Of the United
States; and we hereby express our con-
fidence that the next federal admins
tration will be. by constitutional meth
ods; that the right Of local self-govern-
ment by the states will be respected;
that industry will be relieved from the
weight Of unequal taxation; that Amer
lean commerce will again be carried
forward under the American flag, and
that the union Of these states will once
more find its perfect and sure defense
in the affections OF all the people.
Resolred, That the democrats of New
York congratulate their brethren in the
other states upon the good prospects
which now exist of success throughout
the whole country, and we think our
selves justified in claiming that the re-
suit, in part, is due TO the manner in
which we have maintained and applied
democratic principles and methods Of
administration In our own state.
A resolution eulogistic OF the late
Judge Church. completes the platform.
After considerable speechmaking the
platform was adopted, and the conyen-
ton nominated Judge Rapello for chief
justice of the court Of appeals.

Omaha, Sep. 2s.-Franklin Beron
was arrested here last evening as q
fugitive from justice. He was formely
a resident of Nebraska and for a while
represented the d. & NJ. railroad COM
pany as land agent until they dropped
him for crookedness. Since then he
has been operating on his own account
and selling bogus land certificates TO
parties in Michigan and .elsewhers, his
victims being principally Scandi-
nayians. It is said that he has grown
rich in that way and has considerable
property at Burlington, Iowa, his home.
He is wanted in Michigan by the par
ties whom he has swindled in this way.
He was arrested In Des Moines the
other day, but managed to escape TO
Nebraska.
