The Garfield DeGOlyer Matter
In Nutshell.

Washington Cor. of New York World.
One of the most notorious of tile
many corrupt contracts made by Boss
shepherd, was that awarded to DeGOl-
yer and Mcclellan, of Chicago, for lay
ing wood pavement. This contract
covered 100000 yards, at SO 30 a yard,
which the superintendent of the con-
tractors swore could be put down nc
81 30, every item OF cost included. So
there was a clean profit of 100000 TO be
divided. To further this job, which
was preliminary TO others TO follow, the
sum OF $97 200 was expended. 10 was
given out in the spring of 1879. At
that time Richard Q. Parsons was Mar
shall Of the Supreme Court and had con-
verted that office into n headquarters
for the lobby. He was known to ne an
intimate friend of Garfield, and the
ring wanted Garfield's aid as Chairman
of the appropriations. The agent Of the
contractors employed Parsons, with a
fee of $4,000 as counsel" although
there was no contest Of any kind and no
tribunal to appear before. It was a sham
20 throw dust in the eyes OF the public.
Parsons paid Garfield $4,000 as his
share July II, 1872, for which he was
forced TO admit before the investigation
that he made no argument, oral or
written; he never appeared before the
board of public works, and had only
once spoken to Boss Shepherd on the
subject. The "fee' was a bride out and
out, and nothing else, as was subse-
| quently shown. Garfield became the
agent of the ring, and through his In
nuence and activity $3,500,0O0 was vo-
ted to Boss Shepherd and his confeder-
ates i'm less than sixty days, between the
9th of January and tho third of March,

Coon VS.. Dog.

Being in a tobacco store on
Gravier street, New Orleans, Colo
mel Sam Boyd fell to praislng his
blooded dogs of the terrier and
bull species. His extravaganza
provoked the remark from Colonel
ID. A Wilson, a bystander, that his
cOlored porter owned a coon that
c uld whip any dog in the city.
The talk became dispute and the
dispute grew and out of it came
wager. The fight took place at
Nelligan's once the great sporting
center in New Orleans. The rules
of the combat were drawn up regu
larly. Boyd led out bull terrier
named Sam. The dog weighed
thirty five pounds. He was ter
rible thing of bone and teeth. The
coon was veteran, with long
claws and teeth, and heavy fur.
The bets ran: A thousand dollars
to five hundred that the coon
would give in in ten minutes; one
thousand to two and fifty in ten
minutes; one thousand to one hun
dred in one half hour by the watch.
Several buckets of water were
placed in the ring for the coon's
benefit. By the time that all was in
readiness fifty thousand dollars
had been staked on the result, and
the betters were all men of position
in society. A.member of congress,
the sheriff and all the city officials
were present. The fight was
opened by a dash of the terrier.
For q full minute the beasts rolled
in deadly embrace over the arena
and the fur flew. At the end of
the first round the dog wasn't such
a fevorite, though he still led.
Round after round was fought until
forty-five minutes had been con-
sumed. The coon with singular
cunning upset the buckets of water
in the saw dust so that the dog
here and there. The fight
ended in che complete discontinue
of the dog, which died on the fol-
lowing day from its wounds.

Burned Alive.

The tragic death of the engineer
of a train on the Great Western
railroad of Canada, recently wrecked
near SImcoe, is thus described by
the London Free Press: About
three O'Clock, train No. 81, driven
by engineer Fred Chilcott, APP
preached Simcoe from the east,
running at the rate of eight or nine
miles an hour. AS it rolled through
the yard the fireman was shoveling
coal into the furnace, and the ill
fated engineer was gazing out into
the night, with his hand upon the
throttle valve, little dreaming of
the terrible destiny that awaited
him. One of the brakemen, Alex.
Thompson, was upon the engine,
standing between the locomotive
and tender, with his gaze fixed
upon the track ahead, lit up by the
glare of the headlight. Eagerly he
yards from the scene Of the disas
ter, the brilliant reflection of the
light fell upon the misplaced switch.
The young man observed it, and
feeling that they were rushing on
to inevitable death, he exclaimed,
"My God, the switch is wrongr'
and at once sprang off the train.
Almost at the same time the wary
engineer observed the open switch,
and, glancing at his mate, he ut
tered the emphatic command,
'Jumpp while he grasped the re-
versing lever with both hands and
endeavored to bring the train to a
standstilL But the danger could
not be averted. The fireman es-
sayed to leap out, but ere he could
accomplish it he heard the engine
humping over the ties; there came
crash and the mighty machine top
pied over the embankment and be
came deeply embedded in the sand.
The embankment at this point is
over ten feet in depth, and car after
car piled upon the engine, while
the coal, debris and broken wood
crushed down the unfortunate man
beneath. The engineer manfully
stuck to his post, and during the
fall his arm became firmly caught
between the lever and the boiler.
The gauge had been broken by the
and volume of white
dense smoke and scalding water
poured forth upon the devoted en-
gineer. The furnace door flew
open and a stream of liquid fire
surged around his body Eagerly |

IDEALS.
Model Husbands, Wives, Journalists,
Politicians, Babies and
Clergymen.

The ideal husband is a kind
hearted, noble man, with the figure
of an Apollo and the beauty of an
Adonis, who pays the same delicate
attention to his wife that he did be
fore their troth was plighted; the
real husband is a round saouldered,
grizzly looking fellow, who buys
the second quality of butter for the
table, eats his meals at down
town restaurant, and only remem
bers that he is married when he is
obliged to pay the household ex-
penses.
The ideal housewife is a woman
who keeps her home in the most
delightful order. who cooks the
most delicious dinners and presides
at the tea table with the grace of a
queen; the real housewife is a wo-
man whose face ia red and blazed
with cooking over hot stove,
whose voice is sharp and earnest,
and who just "slats" things around
anywhere, no matter where, in or
der to get her work done in season
for buzz over the back yard fence
with the neighbors.
The ideal newspaper man is a
man whose brain is crammed solid
full Of all things classical, social
and political, whose pen can reel off
poetry, sentiment and sense to or
der, and into whose presence we
should come with feelings of awe
inspired by overpowering genius;
the real newspaper man is worn
out fragment of humanity, who car
RES a sickly smile significant of
hope deferred and financial depres-
sion, and wears a seventy-five cent
alpaca coat.
The ideal politician is a man
whose breast is heaving full of pa
triotIsm, and whose interest in the
welfare Of the country is second
only to his allegiance to divine
power; the real politician is a man
with his hands full of wires pulling
in all directions, from the dram
shop to the pulpit, to worm himself
into an official position with big
pay and lots of nothing to do.
The ideal baby is a little fellow
with the daintiest tinted cheeks,
curliest hair, sweetest little 5000"
and with angels wings just sprout
ing from his shoulders; the real
baby is young wad of humanity
with open valves, screaming all the
time, fuzz on his bald head like
thistle down, and as for angels
wings, well, they don't fasten them
on with saiety-pins.
The ideal clergyman is man
born too good for this world, with
the virtues of christianity bristling
all over his character and shining
forth like the rays of the MONDAY
sun; the real clergyman is a man
who breaches his best sermons "on
an exchange" in the hope OF getting
a call with bigger salary.

A Pretty Picture Of Devotion.

Bob Bu~dette: While 1 was lect-
uring in Washington l saw lady
with a pretty, intelligent face and
bright, eloquent eyes that were
rarely lifted toward the speaker,
and then only for ii flash of time.
They were bent upon her husband S
hands almost constantly. Brilliant
and accomplished few years ago,
she had gone down into the world
of voiceless silence, and now all the
music and all the speech that comes
into her life comes through her
husband, and as talked l watched
him telling off the lecture on his
MIN BILE fingers, while her eager eyes
glanced from them to his sympa-
thetic face. 1t was a pretty picture
of devotion. They were SO young
to have this cloud shadow the
morning skies of their lives, but as
] glanced from the voiceless wife
to the husband 1 thought how
beautifully the sunlight Of his de
votion was breaking through these
clouds and tintihg even their afec-
tons with tender radiance. This
discipline of attendance upon suffer
ing is good thing for a man. II
rounds out his life; it develops his
manlier, nobler qualities; it makes
his heart brave and tender and
strong as a woman's.
