Wheeler, the chair in announcing that the next
ballot would be to fill Platt's vacancy, said at
Platt's request and in the interest of the re-
publican party he Withdrew the name of Platt
as a candidate, and would, when his
name was called, vote for Richard
Crowley. Platt received only two
votes. In the morning Platt sent for ex-
United States Marshal Payne, and told him he
had made up his mind to have his name with
drawn. Payne asked him why. Platt said, on
account of the scandal brought against him.
He said the whole thing was lie and a con-
spiracy, and as far as it affected himself he
could stand it and meet it in his own way and
his own time, and he meant to fully meet it at
the proper time and have thesconspirators pun
ished; but he deemed it best to Withdraw from
The contest at the present time, for the good of
bis party. -
Since last report ballots have been taken
every day without special change Rumors
are plentiful Of a break in the deadlock, but
none appear to be well authenticated
Two ballots were taken on Wednesday with
no special chanCe of votes. The reports of the
bribery investigation committee we're received.
The majority simply submit the evidence, and
think it would be improper for them to preju-
dice the case, now in the hands of the court.
The minority submit q resolution that the
charges made by Bradley, and the acceptance
of the money by Bradley, was in violation
of the law of 1869. Also, that while it is in
evidence Senator Sessions has been accustomed
to receive large sums of money as 4. lobbyist,
tie only evidence of his using money, was
that of paying Bradley So, 900; that though
Sessions drew from his bankers So, GIG, and
that nearly $50, 900 was drawn and used by
other parties, there is no evidence of any being
used in the Senatorial election.
On Thursday, 9TH, sixty republican men,
bers of the Legislature signed call for caucus
on the 8th. In the ballotiDgs Wheeler had 43

Rich Men of PENNSYLVANIA.

Ex-Gov. Curtin in New York Tribune.
which estate will net the most to the
heirs, that of Col. Thomas A. Scott. or the
estate of Asa Packer?"
II think that the Packer estate is the best.
It is generally held to be worth So .0OO. 600
without exaggeration. The estate of Col.
Scott is large, but I think the newspapers
rate it too high. I should put it down at
about 5000, 900. Considering everything.
that is very great result for such as active
and venturesome mind as Col. SCOTS.
Some of the largest fortunes in Philadel-
phia have been accumulated by the manu-
factures. There is Mr.. Weightman, of the
firm OF drug manufactures which monopo-
llzed the quinine. He is one of the richest
men IN Pennsylvania. The estate of Gill
ingham Fell is very large. Disston, the
saw manufacturer, has made large amount
of money. Dobson, the carpet manufa
turer, has done a great business. The,
Baldwin Locomotive works, as YOU know
are the largest in the world Sellers. the
boilermaker is another great force with us.
In Pittsburgh the largest fortune presume
to be that of William Thaw, who is at the
head of the Pennsylvania railroad lines:
west OF Pennsylvania. He is now director
in the Pennsylvania railroad. Some reckon
his means at $10.000,OoO Hostetter, the,
bitters man, is also very rich in Pittsburgh.
One Of the most successful men in our
state is A. j. Cassett, vice president of the
Pennsylvania railroad. He was boy of
plain, respectable f>mily in Pittsburgh.
He entered the railroad service near the
bottom, and has worked his way up till he
is one Of the great masters of railroad, de-
tails, and by. his address is considerable of
public and social man, and his sagacity
has made him large fortune.

New YORK, July 4.-London cablegram: The
lord mayor, on opening the court at the Man
sion house this morning, said he wished,
in formal, official manner, to express
what he knew was the universal feeling of the
citizens of London respecting the deplorable
tragedy at Washington. The at
tempt upon President Garield's life
was regarded with unmitigated horror
and detestation by every member

this feeling was fully shared by
every citizen of the metropolis. The
lord mayor went on to say that
while he earnestly hoped that the presidents
life would be spared, the worst was to be
feared. He ended his remarks. which were list
ened to with the deepest attention, by expressing
his deep sorrow for the crime. and his most
lively sympathy with the president, his family
and the nation. Liverpool markets are unaf-

has no political significance and that after the
first shock has passed over, the course of 'bus-

Do Your Work Well.

Judge Ms a well known jurist
living near Cincinnati, was fond of re-
lating this anecdote. He had on one occa-
sion to send to the village after carpen-
ter, and sturdy young fellow appeared
with his tools.
Z" want this fence mended to keep
out the cattle. There are some un-
planed boards-use them. 1t is out of
sight from the house, SO you need not
take time to make it a neat job. / will
only give you a dollar and half.''
The judge went to dinner and coming
out, found the man carefully planning
each board. Supposing that he was try
ing to make costly job ofit he ordered
him to nail them on at once just as they
were, and continued his walk. When
he returned the boards were all planed
and number ready for mailing.
" L told you this fence was to be COW
cred with vines" he said angrily, g do
not care how it looks"
Il do" said the carpenter, gruffiy,
carefully measuring his work. When
it was finished there was no part of the
fence as thorough in finish.
"How much do you charge? asked
the judge
ga dollar and half,' said the man,
shouldering his tools.
The judge started. "Wby did you
spend all that labor on the job, if not
for money ?"
g For the job, SIR"
Nobody would have seen the poor
work on it,"
But / should have known it was
there. No; I'll take only dollar and
half" Aud he took it and went away.
Ten years afterwards, the judge had
the contract to give for the building of
several magnificent public buildings.
Xhere were many applicants among
masterbuilders, but the face of one
caught his eye.
1t was my man of the fence" he
said. " / knew we should have only
good, genuine work from him. / gave
him the contract and it made a rich
man of him."
1t is a pity that boys were not
taught in their earliest years that the
highest success belongs only to the man,
be he carpenter, farmer, author or artist,
whose work is most sincerely and
thoroughly done.

A "Mauaht" would Improve It.

1t is related of DIR. Holmes that at a
country charitable fair one day he was
entreated to furnish letter for the post
office. He seized sheet of paper and
between its folds placed 81 bank note:
turning to the first page he wrote the
following:
Dear lady, whosoe'er thou art,
Turn this poor page with trembling care,
But hush, oh hush, thy beating heart,
The one thou lowest best will bethere.
In obedience to the poets Injunction
the page turned disclosed the attractive
greenback of the value of one dollar,
and to prove the truth of this assertion,
he made the following appeal on the op-
posite page from the bank deposit;
Fair lady, lift thine eyes and tell,
If this Is not a truthful letter,
This is the one thou lowest well,
And naught (0) would.make thee love It
better.

Alan Sinclair's Surprise.

MIR. ALAN SINCLAIR knitted his
1S1 brows very perplexedly, as per-
haps for the halfdozenth time he read
the long, closely written sheet of paper
that lay open before him on the desk.
Then he walked up and down his
library several times, that perplexed
frown gradually clearing off his hand
some forehead, and finally he sent word
to his housekeeper, Mrs. Viney, to at
tend to the matter he had mentioned to
Z her an hour or so before.
Which order given Mr.. Sinclair re-
sumed his chair again to think over
and definitely decide the plans for the
future, which this long, we'll filled letter
had made necessary.
And the origin of the necessity was
that, dying, his old friend and chum,
Edward Mayne, had left him-implor-
ing him not to refuse the 1egacy--his
daughter Winnie, delicate solemn lit
being, ten years old, utterly friendless,
utterly homeless, unless in heaven IS
mercy, Alan Sinclair's heart was turned
in pity towards her.
But to bring a girl, q delicate, sickly,
awkward, silent child into the house,
for Mr.. Mayne had written plainly and
frankly about little Winnie. If it had
been boy a wide.awake active boy
who could have been his companion as
he grew older, in whose sports and les
sons he could have taken decent share
OF guardian-like interest, and who
might have sometimes, with his tutor,

head.

have some conscientious scruples on the
subject; SO give me back my money,
and will go out"
The reverential habits Of. the door
keeper were not strong enough to com
pei him to that sacrifice, and he walked
away without saying anything more on
the subject.

eg Life is going fast; each day we are
more surely leaving youth behind u.s.
Yet men spend their lives in antieipa-
tions, determining to be vastly happy at
some period when they have time. The
present has the advantage over every
other-it is our own. Past opportunities
are gone, future ones are not yet come.
We may lay in a stock of pleasures as
we would stock of luxuries, but If we
defer the tasting of them too long, we
shall find that both are soured by age
Let us enjoy to-day, for tomorrow may
never dawn.

loved better than life itself-but not
better than right and duty.
And duty forbade him sending the
child of charity back to the cold world.
And he knew, despite the pale an
guish on her face, that it had come to
a choice between this royal woman he
worshipped, without whom his life
would be dreaTy desert, and the
grown-up school girl--plain, quiet, as
she could only ever be.
And her voice, prompt, low, decisive,
rang out like doom:
4" You must chose, Alan. 1 await
your declsion."
While in his reply, you would never
have recognized the voice so shaken q
second before; FOR the moment of temp
tation was past, and all Sinclair's grand
manliness and anguish of resolution
was on his face and in his voice.
always remember, in the days to
come, when, perhaps, you may regret 1t,
that it was of your own will you sent
me from you. For 1 choose to keep my
vow to my dead friend; choose to do
what know is right, what you know is
right. And this is goodbye, my love
my one love-my lost love"
He took her in his arms and kissed
her-.not passionateIy, but almost like
one kisses the face that will soon be un-
der the coffin lid.
And twenty. four hours later, in the
glory of moonlight night, Sinclair
went back alone to Roseleigh-after all
those years of absence, after all that
passionate happiness, after the wreck
ing tempest-went back alone, and
when he had expected it would be so
different
There was only the reward he felt
that he had done it all for duty's sake,
for honor's sake, that upheld him in
those agonized minutes when he went
up the familiar entrance and into the
brilliantly illuminated hall, where Mrs.
Viney, and the butler, and the servants,
were in waiting to welcome him.
And then he went silently on to the
library, his own special domain-the
IOOlu WIN uO OlLCnCSb DlCbulCO bCC-
ing Aura, his very soul fainting with
desperate pain at the sense of utter loneli-
ness that could never leave him again.
And sweet voice came out of the
dimness to him that struck to his very
soul, pair of rare white arms were
clinging about his neck, and the dear
eyes he so loved were smiling through
tears into his face-Aura's own blessed
eyes.
81 could not help it, she said, as he
folded her to his heart, 81 wanted to
know if you were as good as L have
dreamed you were all these years, since
that night L stood just here and prom
ised L would do whatever you said
Having done that wanted to see you
and SO got invited to join party that L
thought would bring me unto your
company. The rest you already know.
Oh, Alan, Alan, don'tyou understand 2"
And with sudden, almost startled
wonder in his eyes, he understood then,
for the first time, that it was Winnie
Mayne-that the two women were one
who had won him.
"And please, we will both stay,
mayn't weY We both love you, MIR.
Sinclair, and we neither of us will give
you up; and oh my love, will never be
jealous again."
And Alan Sinclair bowed his head on
her bright hair and thanked heaven for
what had come to him..

Select Poetry.
A DISTRACTED PARENT.

Five daughters-four of them engaged
Good heavens shall go mad
For such surfeiting of love
No parent ever had.
The very atmosphere is charged
With IL no matter where
go about the house l trip
Upon some whispering pair.
At evening, when take my pipe
And seek a quiet nook
To read the Eyening Times, or else
Some new and tempting book,
ope, perhaps, the parlor door,
When familiar sound,
Quite unmlstakable, suggests
1t is forbidden ground.
so then more cautiously / turn
To our reception room
But 10 again upon my ear,
From its romantic gloom,
Comes softly, yet with emphasis,
That warning, when start
And leave, as Lady Macbeth wished
Her guests would all depart.
My next resort is then the porch,
Where roses trail and bloom:
Ia is it echo that betrays
The joys of yonder room2
All, no ! a startled "change of basc'
Reveals the presence there
OF Cupid's votaries, and, alas
There's still another pair.
''But sure" think, "my library
viii be safe retreat"
SO there at once, with quickened step,
take my weary feet.
Vain hope-that warning sound again
Breaks on my listening ear;
Thank Heaven, my youngest has not yet
Attained her thirteenth year!
Hark there she is and, bless my heart,
That popinjay, young Lunn,
Is at her side-I do believe
That she, too, has begun.
oh, yc who love to sit and dream
OF future married joys,
Pray Heaven with honest fervor that
Your girls may all be boys.
