The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle has reason
TO believe that "the people of the Missis-
sippi Valley are down on BAYARD and PEN
DLEToN," and says there are "no votes
there for these presidential aspirants."
Why notf We guess because they voted
to sustain Mr.. ARTHuR's veto Of the river
and harbor bill. 1t is hardly TO be expected
that a man living on the banks Of the Mis-.
sissippi could imagine 1t to be his duty to
vote for a candidate for President of the
United States who would for four years
forbid that river to be improved because
in the same bin which provided for It's i'm
proyement a few thousand dollars were
appropriated TO small and unimportant
streams.

from 1868 to 1876, and white men have con-

writer Yet, the scampish fellow would
seem to have in him all the essentials for

destroyed his own clothes while taking
a nights lodging at the work house, was
brought into court next day, pinned up
in blanket, like Dickens Mr.. Mopes.D
While his case was being heard he occa-
sionally shook off this covering, just to

visit he appropriated some three pounds
Of cheese and escaped with his booty, al

ragged despoiIer as he was making off,
with the cheese dropping from his
pockets. He does not seem to have been
aware that she had observed him, for in
the course of half an hour back. he came
to the house. Then, putting on what is
known among the Irish as "the poor

him a morseI Of bread to eat with bit
of cheese he had picked up. Now it
would have been just as easy and far
more safe, for the scatap to have gone to

sHIEI.DINe HIS BENEFAcroR.

A good many years ago cashier took
little lad from neighboring Poor
House, and when the boy had become
youth he was given a responsible position
in the bank of which his patron was prac-
tically the head. Later the cashier stole
more than $4,000 from the bank. Ex-
posure was threatened every day and the
guilty officer, in period Of depression,
confessed to the youth that he proposed
to kill himself Young Ray, the protege,
was smitten with horror, as he thought of
the terrible turn in affairs, but having
weighed the matter he threw himself into
the breech. He suggested, and the cash
ier eagerly accepted the suggestion, that
he should fasten the guilt upon himself
and abscond, thus leaving his patron hon.
est in the worlds eyes, though blackened
in his own. What the public heard of
the Westport robbery was that bank
clerk named Ray had stolen SIS, 1000.
Detectives found several clues, but not
until years afterward was the secret dis
closed. One of the detectives who had
been employed in the case came up with
Ray under still more romantic cireumstan-
ces. The detective according to his rem
iniscences published last week in San
Francisco paper, was called recently to
Western city to ferret out the person who
had robbed private house of 200 gold
eagles. The only man under arrest was
one Henry Martin. AS soon as the de-
tective saw Martin the former said to
him:
"You are Dallas Ray, who robbed the
Westport bank"
Ray then told the true story of the rob-
berry, and the story has been verified
since.
Ray claimed that he was innocent of
the gold eagle burglary and asked the
detective to take note to his sweetheart
Miss Morse. When the latter heard Of
her lovers predicament she threw her
whole soul into obtaining proof of his in
necence. She went to the house where
the robbery had been committed. Hav-
ing asked if the burglar had left anything
in his fight, she was given a handker-
chief that had been dropped by the in
truder. She put the handkerchief to her
nose and exclaimed:
'Find the thief who uses this perfume
manning the peculiar brand) and you will
find your eagles"

in the city sold that kind Of perfnmery.

CAPTAIN BoYToN,s PARROT.

Captain Paul Boyton owns a talking
parrot, which has habit of initiating
crying babies. The Captain was bringing
the bird in basket to New York from
his home at Flushing. Suddenly the
passengers in the ladies' cabin on the
ferryboat heard the wailing of an infant
proceed from the basket at the Captains
side. As the sound increased the passen-
gers stared at BoytoU, who got red in the
face and gave the basket gentle kick.
Then an old lady became indignant and
said something about ''big BRUTE" The
kick seemed to have aroused Polly's feel
ings, for the screaming grew louder. The
staring of the passengers became unbear-
able, and the Captain seized the basket
and hurried to the front Of the boat in
evident embarrassment, for he is not a
married man. He was followed by all the
passengers, who watched him narrowly as
he stood by the railing. When the boat

GREELY AND WALSH.
An Old Time DificuIty I'm New York ,
Hnvw Z xxyu Gnf4unI

An Old Time Difficulty In New York and
How 1t was Settled.
There was in New York in the earlier
days Spartan band" headed by Mike
Walsh, who made things lively about
election times. The Spartan band, ac-
eording TO Greeley, had fight at the
spring election in the fourth district Of
the Sixth Ward, and then marched up
Centre street intimidating the voters. A
fight took place thereupon in Centre street
and around the Tombs, and man named
Ford was severely beaten and others were
injured.
Greeley's remarks on this occurrence
gave great offense to the Spartan band and
Mike Walsh, who determined to get even.
So the next morning after the publica-
tion of Greeley's article, two roughs
stepped up to the counter in the old ISi-
bUae Office, and told the clerk that they
demanded retraction and apology in the
paper the next day from Mr.. Greeley, or
they would come in force and clean ont
the Office.
The next morning Greeley published
an article worse and harder on the Spar
tan band than the first.
That afternoon gang of roughs came
to the Office ofthe Tribune, and after vain
ly trying to get at Greeley, got at the poor
office clerks and cleared out the establish
ment down stairs, vowing if anything
more was published about the Spartan
band the whole Sixth Ward would rise
and smash the building.
Greeley hereupon wrote third article
harder on the Spartan band than either
of the two preceding, and then the Office
prepared for war.
One OF Greeley's pet compositors, who
could make out his corkscrew copy per-
fectly, was member of the City Guard.
So he got the City Guard to volunteer
their services to defend the office. Then
a lot of muskets were distributed among
the clerks, compositors and reporters, and
one big musket was placed on Greeley's
desk.
Greeley called boy and told him 10
take the "oId thing away" and kept on
writing.
The foreman of the press-room in the
basement caused pipe to be run from the
safely valves of the boiler to the steps
which led to the sidewalk, and then he
made an arrangement with the men in
the Herald Office, near by, to rush through
their skylight to the fiat roof underneath
and rain down stones and brickbats on
the "bioody SIXTH" the brickbats to be
procured from the neighboring chimneys.
Between these brickbats and the steam
from the pipes and the muskets and the
City Guard, it was thought that the Spar
tan band would get all it wanted, and a
good deal more.
The boys in the Tribune and Herald
didn't feel at all alarmed now---in truth
they really wanted The Sixth Ward 10 try
it on.
But Of course under these circumstances
the Spartan band didn't and couldn't try
it on.
After day Of intense excitement and
preparation the night passed off very
quietly. and neither the Spartan band nor
Mike Wash ever bothered Horace Greeley
any more.
