A STORY or Mr.. FIR.
How the Prime minister Foiled an
Assassin.
tLondOn society. J

lLOndOn bOclety.l
Shortly after the breaking out of the
French revolution It's advocatea denounced
our Premier as "an enemy b the human
race'; that "so easy 10 live with, who
sang the BOng about himself called ssBllly
Pitt, the Tory" HlA secrstary one day told
him &hata foreigner who spoke kEngItsh toll
erAbly we'll, had twice or thrice asked to see
him, but not hooking like proper applicant
had been sent away, the great mans time
being too precious for him to admit every
stranger who, on frivolous pretexts, might
seek to crafty Rn idle curiosity, This per-
son, however, had said he should return 10
an hour; the secretary therefore thought 1t
his duty 10 inform Mr.. Pitt of such intention
and ask his further orders In the affair, w
"Hage the goodness" said the mfnisIeFy
ITO open the top left-hand drawer in that
cabinet, and bring me Its contents."
There were pait Of pistols and morocco
case. Opening the latter he produced q
snuf box, in which was set . portrait.
"Is that like our visitorp asked Pitt.
at is the man, sir" answered the secre-
dHai have expected him for some days.
He is sent over to assaseinate me; so when
he calls Hgain let him be shown up"
"siri exclaimed the attached retainer,
twill you expose TO danger your life, on
which so much dependsi"
"There win be no danger, / thank you;
but you may be within call, If you please. +"
Accordingly the Frenchman, on his re-
| turn, was ushered into the room where VIII
liam Pitt sat alone, loaded pistol In one
hand, and the miniature in the other.
"Monsieur Mehee de la Touche," said
/ Pitt, calmly, "you see / am In every way
prepared for you, thanks 10 an agent en-
| pl0yed by this Government. Attempt my
| life and your own instantly pays the forfeit.
/ In any case ! shall have you secured and
| given over TO the law"
The intended assassin stood paralyzed and
dumb at this cool reception.
"But," continued Pitt, "there is another
alteTnative-personal safety and high re-
wards are In your power. Sell your services
/ to Great Britain; make your market oi
| whatever secret information you can procure
| that may guard us against the Vaccinations
| Of your country; be, In fact, one of the ne
cessary evils which policy forces us TO use II
desperate cases; do what no honorable mar
i could do to save yourself from speedy
death; your conscience is stained by pur
posed murder. Comply, perforce, with
these conditions, and you shall be as hber
ally paid as you must, by all parties, be de
spised."
The security used to repeat his illustrioui
master's words, which were, as nearly a
possible 70 the foregoing effect.
The clever miscreant jOyfully accepted
these terms, and for many years earned the
bribes of a spy In our behalf
No doubt a snuff-box was the safes
medium for the warning portrait, as fancy
heads frequently adorned such a thing
while, had the miniature been set as locket
whoever saw It must have been sure that 4

THE PHTLADELPHIA ESening Telegraph, Q
thoroughly independent Republican paper,
referring to the very probable defeat that
awaits its party in New York and Penn
sylvania, says that Stalwartism is
"pIling upon the Republican party a load
"no political Organization can possibly
"bear," and it might have added
that a defeat awaits the Republican
party IN Delaware at the approach
ing election for the same reason. In
this State stalwartism has piled upon the
party "a load" that is > positive disgrace,
and there is every indication that hundreds
of Republicans win refuse TO vote the ticket
in order to make doubly sure the assurance
that this load will not be fastened
upon the State. Stalwartism in
Delaware means q machine TICKET nom
mated in the most extensively arrogant
MANNER by q few iactionAl leader
and forced upon the party. 1t also meanI
q corrupt party management, and the ma
nipulation of local nominations, 80 rs 10 give
the control Of the State to this management
in the remote event of Republican victory
But Stalwartism does not thrive In Delaware
and the Democratic candidates, who have
the virtue of being the free and untram-
melled choice of the Democratic people,
undeterred by "ring" dictation or machine
influence, will surely be elected throughout
the State.

A Canadian weather wiseacre, by name
K. Stone Wiggins, predicts a terrible storm
over the North American continent I'm March
next. He says: I" 1t will be first felt In
the Northern Pacific, and will cross the
meridian of Ottawa at noon Is p. M, Lon
don time) on Sunday, March IL, 1888. No
vessel smaller than Cunarder will be able
to live in this tempest. India, the south of
Europe, England, and especially the North
American continent will be the theatre of
Its ravages. As all the lowlands on the
Atlantic will be submerged advise ship
builders to place their prospective vessels
high up on stocks, and farmers having loose
valuables, such as hay, cattle, &C., TO re-
move them to place of safety. l beg,
iurther, most respectfully to appeal to the
honorable Minister of Marine that he will
peremptorily order up storm drums on ali
the Canadian coast not later than the Goth
OF February, and thus permit no vessel to
leave the harbor. If this is not done, hun
dreds of lives will be lost and millions
worth Of property destroyed"

WE HAVE not yet had a ''corner in
peaches" but if the newspaper re-
porters and the sPeculators keep on, as
they are now going, it is likely the
peach will be got into the brokerage
business in some shape or other.
Already We are told by an influential
city paper that "The bears had it all
their own way with the Delaware
peach crop few days ago, but the
bulls have recovered from the effects
Of the frost ind confidently predict a
big crop. Time was when the public
used to take some interest in these
speculations, but the world has grown
philosophical Of late"
There is q class Of men who go
through the peach districts buying
the fruit in the orchards and specu-
lating upon the crop. 1t is to their
interest very often to have 1t believed
that the yield will be very light that
they may buy low. So that it is not
always the peach grower that Is found
complaining of the prospective failure
Of the crop. In fact the must intelli-
gent peach growers will tell you al
once that the newspapers are too med
dlesOme-that they are producing q
settled conviction in the minds OF
people that peach growing is a mere
game of chance, aud this is very
detrimental to the value of the land
and the business of the peach farmer
This feeling has extended until peach
farms are reduced in price far below
their cost to their owners. There is M
more reason thar such constant refer.
ences be made to the failure of the
peach crop than to the wheat crop
Yet every year an excitement is gotter
up about this business as though i
were an actual necessity. Fine peache
make a rich dellcacy and are a rea
luxury but like all other Injuries ar
soon overlooked and forgotten if the,
should not be found cheap and plenti
fol. While it is a fact that man
peach growers regret that their land
have been planted in trees instead G
wheat, the business still pays whom
fair crop is produced, and it Is greatl
70 the disadvantage Of those engage
In the business to have it regarded II
such q speculative light as the news
paper reports tend to place it.
