but know who you are, now, SAID the
man, giving the Chancellor a sharp
look. "You are Sam FliCkner, that
used to court my wife, and I've heard
about your hanging around here since
we got married. Now, Flickner, I'll
end all that kind of business, you cuss,
you !" and he gave the Ak in This hand
an ominous shake.
"Hold on, Heavens sakel and hear
what l have got to say. My name is
not Flickner. 1t is James Kent. am
the Chancellor of the State of New York
That is my wife in bed there. Your
wife is up stairs in bed all right There
is your supper on the table, eat it for
gracious sake !" said Kent, in hurried,
excited manner.
"Chancellor OF the State Of New
York heyl Sam Flickner, Chancellor
of the State of New York Well, there!
Chancellor! You used to chancel round
my wife, when she was a girl, and you
mean to keep i up, do you Started in
well, tonight; but by Cd, I'll end it !;
or else YOU will end p'e," said the man,
dropping his AK and advancing towards
Kent, with fist that looked like a
sledge hammer.
At this critical moment the mans
wife put her head down the hatchway,
exclaiming:
Hold on, jim Don't make fool of
yourself I'm up here all straight and
right. What are you cackling about
Sam Flickner for you dunce2 The man
is all right, and that's his wife ii bed
there-I guess. They have lost their
way at any rate, and I've given 'em our
bed. Eat your supper and come up to
bed here, and let 'em 60 to sleep. If l
hadn't been asleep myself all this fuss
wouldn't happened"
This address brought the fellow to his
senses. Well, all right, sorry I've
been so fast Ought to know wife amt
that kind of woman; but good gracious,
heavens and earth what could fellow
think to see man in his house after ten
o'clock at night, in his shirt, and nothing
else, and his wife, as he thought, in bed,
and knowing all that time that Sam
Flickner was cussl' and there he burst
into a hoarse-laugh that resembled the
roar of bison.
The Chancellor went to bed. The man
ate his supper and retired quietly to his
bed up stairs, and soon all the inmates of
the house were wrapped in slumber. The
next morning the hostess prepared a
comfortable breakfast for her guests,
which was eaten with relish. The ap-
pearance Of the Chancellor, though un-
assuming, was impressive under all cir
cumstances. The man, in def1erential
manner, apologized to him for his rude
ness the night before. "Only think"
he said, 81 took you for Sam Flickner.
Well, things did look little rusty at
first, but its all right now" After re-
ceiving careful directions as to their
route they took leave of their host and
hostess. Not, however, before Mrs
Kent gave the latter substantial evil
dence OF her gratitude for the kind
treatment she had received at her
hands.

The Hill Scandal

An Inter Ocean Washington special
says : Postmaster General Key says that
it is not true, as charged BY Mrs, Lock
wood, that Senator Hill got man ap-
pointed in his department. Key says
Hill never has secured The appointment
of single person in the Postofiice De-
partment, nor has he of late years made
an effort to do so. 1t is learned from
other sources, however, that tho person
referred to by Mrs. Lockwood is en-
ployed in the Postoffice Department, but
Ben Hill had nothing whatever to do
with his appointment. There arc many
circumstances which seem to sustain Mrs.
Lockwood in her charges, and Hill can
hardly avoid giving more attention to
them. Hill also denied that he has
ever had a page appointed in the Senate,
and brings a certificate of the Sergeant
alarms to corroborate his abatement
but it il, nevertheless, fact that .
brother Of tho girl Hill is charged with
seducing, is page in the Senate. The
Senator is in very embarrassing posi-
ton for . shining light in the Methodist
church to occupy. He has been charged
~ responsible person with having 20,
duced two women, and merely contents
himself with denial, and claim that
the accusation is made for the purpose
Of blackmail. Some of his fellow SEN
ators think he ought to mako an ex-
ample of Mrs Lockwood, tho female
lawyer here, who makes these charges.
1t her motives is blackmail, a. under the
laws of the District she may be sent to
the penitentiary for attempting to ex-
tort money under such circumstances,
but he has taken no steps in this d.
rection. The resolution offered BY Sem
stor Kellogg for an investigation Of the
charge that he brought the woman Ray
mond here to embarrass Hill, will come
up IN the Senate for action, and Hill
will have an excellent opportunity 70
clear up his reputation bv having the
double scandal investigated Miss Ray
inond stated to Chicago Tribune rep

OF her child, and that no amount of
money would induce her to disown it or

The Alps Again Pierced.

The work of piercing Mount St.
Gothard is satisfactorily completed amid
great rejoicing. In 1870 Italy, Ger
many and Switzerland signed conven-
ton guaranteeing $l7,0OO,O0O to the
company that would construct the st.
Gothard Railroad and Tunnel, Italy Civ
ing 100000, Germany 100000
and Switzerland 100000. The ongi-
nal estimates of $37, 100000 proved un-
der the mark, and it was found that
$57, 100000 would be required instead.
Germany added 100000 to her sub
sidy, Italy $2,O0O,OOO, and Switzerland
81 100000. The work was begun in
the Autumn of 1872. The tunnel be-
gins at Goeschesen, in 1efle where the
river Reuss dashes beneath the famous
Devils Bridge, and ends at Airols,
where it overlooks the pleasant pastoral
valley of the Ticino. Its length is nine
and one-third miles-4S,936 feet, to be
exact ; it is nineteen and half feet
high and twenty-six feet in maximum
width. Twenty-six hundred men have
been employed-Italians, with few ex-
ceptions. The rock, which has varied
from hard granite gnciss on the Swiss
side, to gravel, sand and pebbles on the
Italian, has been operated upon in
similar way to that followed in the Gents
tunnel, dynamite being used in blast
ing operations. Owing to the greater
homogeneity and the absence of water,
more rapid progress has been made
in tunneling through the rocks
than in dealing with the softer material
where the excessive infltration of water
necessitated special drainage arrange
ments, besides retarding more or less
branches of the work. Thus, in pierre
ing bed of schist, water was dis.
charged in torrents, and often the work
had to be carried on under liqnd Jets
descending with the force of tho from
a fire engine pump.
The st. Gothard Tunnel is only one
section of railroad running from Lake
Lucerne in Switzerland to Lake Maggi-
ore in Italy. Besides the big tunnel,
there are twelve others, the shortest of
which, Warren, is l,lO6 yards long,
while the longest, the Oberg, reaches
2,027 yards. The total length of these
twelve tunnels is nearly ten miles-l5,-
57S metres. Then there are five tun-
nels between 900 and $50, ana twenty
FIVE between ITO and 900 yards, making
in all ifty-two subsidiary tunnels of an
aggregate length Of sixteen miles. Be
tween Immense and Goeschenen there
will be thirty-three tunnels, between
Airolo and Giubiasco, seventeen. TIE
line will be carried over sixty-four
bridges and viaducts, the longest of
which, that of Cadenazzo, in Tessin,
will consist of FIVE arches, each having
a span of hfty-five yards. The total
length of the Gothard line, will be l5l
miles, seventeen per cent of it being
tunnels and one per cent bridges and
viaducts Y. Herald

When Gov. Garcelon submitted his
points of law to the supreme judges of
Maine for their opinion, they made a
very nice distinction by means of two
words. Wien any point was clearly
against the Republicans, then the juGg,
"eS decided that part Of the constitution
applicable to the case as only directory
but when the point was clearly against
:he Fusionists. tIen they decided it as
mandatory. Thus, between "d;recto-
ry" aud "mandatoIy", they proposed
TO decide their own party into lower
and the Fusionists out of power
T. ese judges would make a splendid
Returning Board, and we ale sure Mr.
Blaine could desire none TO suit him

Our Washington Letter.

Washington, u. c., Jan. nth. 1850.
Except that IN effort has been made in both
Houses to force discussion on currency subjects
the proceedings Of Congress for the past week
have been devoid Of interest. In the Senate
the financial talk was confLel chiefly TO the
Finance Committee, which reported adversely
on Senator Bayard's resolution concerning
greenbackS. In the House Representative Price
of Iowa made long speech on the currency
question. But the disposition to let well enough
alone gains strength. II is hoped the House will
close debate on its amended rules by Wednes.
day OF next week. The rules will be adopted
probably by an overwhelming vote.

The Curtin-Yocum Contest.
The Election Coromittee Decide &c
Refer the Matter Back to the
People.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1G.-The house
committee Oh elections have decided TO
report in favor of submitting the Cur
tin Yocum case to q new vote Of the
people Of the district at the election in
February. In the conflict of views the
committee could arrive at no other
practical conclusion. There is no
doubt that the report will be adopted
by the house, as a number of the re-
publican delegation from Pennsylvania,
Judge Kelley, Harmer, Harry White,
Ward, O'Neill and Fisher, will vote in
favor of this mode of settling the con
test. 1t is probable that the report of
tie committee will be made early next
week. A new election can be held in
February without any expense to the
people. The old democratic conference
viii meet again and nominate Gov.
Curtin with unanimlty. Whether this
will be the course Of the republicans of
tie district in regard to Yocum is open
to soDe doubt, since his record in the
present congress has been by no means
satisfactory to large portion Of
them.

THE difficulty down in Maine may
now safely be considered lis "settled'.
A Republican Supreme Court has re-
solved itself into returning board and
decided who was and who was not cleo
ted to the legislature, and of course
they found that a majority Of their par,
ty friends were elected.
The count also decided the Republi-
can rump legislature into legal body,
ernor, the choice resulting in the per-
son of Daniel T. Davis, rep.
1t is thought that the Fusionists viii
quietly submit and dissolve, and thus
the Republicans OF Maine will have a
victory which the voters have refused
them.

The Credit Mobilier Senator

The election of De Golyer Garfield as
the successor Of Mr.. Thurman in the
Senate, forces into bod relief most
significant coincidence.
Garfield was one of the bribed meu1-
bers Of the House, caught with Credit
Mobiier- scrip in his pocket, issued by
the Pacific railroad ring. To NJ.
Thurman, on the other hand, belongs
the special credit Of having carried
through the only law by which these
rich and Gvergrown corporations are
called TO account.
These corporations furnished the
money in Ohio to beat Thurman and
the returns from twenty counties, hith-
erto regarded By both parties as close,
proved cenclusively that they followed
Oakes Ame's advice in putting the cash
where it would do most good, and that
their efforts were directed, first Of all,
to the Legislature. Ii the other coun-
ties Of the State had dcne nearly as
we'll for them as this disputed ground,

have run up to seventy FIVE thousand.
