Walt Quevedo's Error.

A former reporter on one of The
Brooklyn dailies is now the editor Of
the Port Jervis Gazette, aud in a re-
cent number of that paper he tells
this good story of an occasion upon
which he visited Brooklyn dominic:
ave walked into the parlor and
the minister presently entered. 'Ah,'
said he, you have come for religious
consolation. Let US pray oh, No.
we said, it is for the purpose Of in
terviewing you Well he respond
ed, in that case let Us have arcigar.'"
This reminds the writer of a visit
which Quevedo paid to the Rev. DR..
TaImage under instructions to inter-
view The Rev. gentleman for the late
Demas Barnes argus, upon which he
was employed as reporter. On the
way up Walter was asked up sever
al times, and being too polite to de-
cline, he was. by the time he had
reached the Tabernacle pastors house.
feeling very well. He was ushered
into the parlor. where he was quickly
joined by DR.. Talmage, whose keen
eye quickly took in the situation.
"Do you drink, young man. he
asked the reporter.
Not noticing the serious manner Of
the interrogatory, Walter quickly re-
piled, "Thank you, I'll take little
whiskey.'
1t is needless to say that ended the
interview Brooklyn Review.

How Russian evolves Capture Wild
Horses.

Whenever wolves associate togeth-
er for mischief. there is always nu-
merous train Of smaller ones to follow
in the rear and act as auxilIiaries in
the work of destruction. Two large
wolves are sufficient to destroy tie
most powerful horse, aEd seldom more
than two ever begin the assault, al
though there may be score in the
gang. It is no less curious than anus
ing to watch their mode Of operation.
If there is no snow. or but little on
the ground, two wolves approach in
the most caressing and playful man
Ber, lying rolling and frisking about,
until the too credulous, unsuspecting
victim is completely put off his guard
by familiarity and curiosity. During
this time the gang. squatting down,
are looking at distance. After some
time spent in this way, the two assaiI-
ants separate, when one approaches
the horses head, the other his tail,
with a shyness and cunning peculiar
to themselves. At this stage of at
tack their frolicsome approaches be-
come very interesting; the former is 4
mere decoy; the latter is the real as
sailant and keeps his eyes steadily
fixed on the hamstrings or fanks OF
the horse. The critical moment is then
watched and the attack is simuItane-
Gus; both wolves spring at their Wit
tim at the same moment-one to the
throat, the other to the falkland If
successful, which they generally are,
the hind one never let's go his hold
until the horse is completely disabled.
Instead Of springiEg forward or kick
ing 20 disengage himself, the horse
turns around and around, without at
tempting defense. The wolf before
then springs behind to assist the 9th
er. The sinews are then cut, and
then in half the time | have been de-
scribing it, the horse is on its side: his
struggles ale fruitless; the victory is
won.

GALuSdA A. GROW.

Mr.. Grow may now be considered as
out of the Senatorial contest, having
Withdrawn from the same This was
forced upon him by the machine PolIt-
ci ms now in Office at Harrisburg and
who live and riot off the Republican
party. That Galusha A. Grow was
the popular favorite for Senator, in the
State, is not denied. That ne was
the favorite of this county, of any OF
the outside candidates was clear To the
vision of all disinterested Republicans.
Why then was the popular will de-
feated? Simply because he was too
honest and too able man for the ring
to control or use. When speeches had
to be made, and hard blows given to
the Democrats, then Mr.. Grow was in
great esteem and demand by these
same ringsters; bnt when it came to
rewardiDg him and carrying ont the
wishes of the party in this county
and the State, then be is sold
out and traded off for such little,
petty positions as 'pasters and folders,
etc. Mr.. Grow would not stoop to such
practices. He retains his selfrespect,

stain or bleE,ish upon his character

Repu slve Feature.

One of the most heatheDish and re-
puIsive features of boss rule in this
State is its shameless insenslbilltv To
gratitude and fair play. Instead of di-
recting its energies against the common
enemy, it is found in accord with the
latter ON all convenient occasions; and
does not scruple To use every trick and
device and every corrupt appliance
within reach TO strike the worthy
and deserving men In It's own ranks.
Just let u Republican, highly deserv-
ing of recognition, presume to set up
his claims in opposition To the selfish
views Of the bosses. aud be IL pursued

THE UNLOCK ED LOCK.

Since our last issue the Senatorial
question at Harrisburg assumed new
phrase. Both Grow and Oliver con-
cluded to withdraw from the contest
on Wednesday evening last, and did
10. This should have put matters in
such shape that the Legislature would
have been free to choose a Senator
worthy and competent to serve the
State. But the withdrawal of Mr..
Oliver was immediately follow wed by
his friends naming q candidate, Gen.
Beaver, for whom they intended to
vote. This was done in the private
parlors of Senator Don Cameron, and
ut his dictation. The place and man.
ner In which it was done not only
aroused opposition to the new candi-
date Of that wing OF the party but
has effectually destroyed his chances
of success Had it been done to kill
him Oh at the very outstart of his can
didacy no surer or better way could
have been adopted by bis professed
friends. Because it is well known
throughout the whole State, and ought
to be known to Don Cameron by this
time, that the real cause of trouble in
the Republican part" Of the State is
his rule and methods. The party ia
tired Of " hat is known rs Cameron
ism, and the effcrt now being made
was to free the party from that ring
rule that has become so odious. This
was the main cause of the OPP
position to Oliver. And therefore,
when it was made manifest that Oil
yer could not be elected, it was the
blight Of not only folly but Of iusfn

dence, for the same few individuals to
assume TO name who should be voted
for in his place, and the more so when
ths was done in and FROM the private res
idence of the head of the ring. 1t was
calculated to keep up the fight aud 1t
has. Those members voting for Mr..
Grow naturally rallied to some other
new man. They had previously, IN
one of their meetings, resolved that
Col. Thomas NJ. Bayne, OF Allegheny
city. was their second choice when
they left Mr.. Grow. They of course,
under the circumstances, gave Col.
Bayne their support wien Mr.. Grow
withdrew. He is not only worthy
Republican but fully competent for the
position. The anti-ring members sup
porting Mr.. Grow could not be ex-
pected to turn around and stultlfy
themselves by voting for Gen Beaver
or any other man whom the mach ne
put forward in place of Oliver. And
hence the lock continues unlocked
Bayne's vote, however, is larger so faI
than was that of Mr.. Grow, while
Beavers is less than that of Mr.. Oil
