THERE is suspicion in some quarters
that Foreman Dickson is merely Jim
Anderson, of Louisiana, in Disguise
Press. This is pretty rough on Anderson.
CORNEL's friends say he has sure thing
of it at Saratoga this week, while the
other fellows arc "On the contrary quite
the reverse" We shall sec what VIC shall
see.
OM's up and it keeps a-going at the live
liest kind of pace. Just where it's going to
stop is mighty interesting matter for
good many people who are in very ex-
cited frame of mind about it all. The
latest quotation is somewhere around 80,
and they are talking dollar oil just as
though it was coming to pass. Such things
have happened before.
AsHADOw BOAT.
Under my keel another boat
Sails AS sail, float, rs float;
Silent and dim and mystic still.
IL steals through that weird nether-wOrld.
MOcking my power though ut my will
The foam before its PROV is curled,
Or calm 1t lies, with canvas flrled.
Vainly peer and fain would see
What phantom in that boat may be:
Yet half drcad. lest L with ruth
Some ghost OF my dead ,st divine,
Some gracious shape of lost youth,
whose ticithlrss eyes once xe'i on mine
Would draw me downward thrOuS the brine !!
-AriO Bates in October atlantic.
THE New York World prints nearly two
pages of what it claims to be over
whelming proof Of the systematic jobbery
and official corruption that have prevailed
in tho construction Of tho great bridge
that spans the river between New York and
Brooklyn. 1t shows that the original esti-
mate of seven million dollars has been
swollen to twenty-five millions of outlay,
and that only onc-fifth of tue expenditure
has been accounted for in materials. Boss
Twecd's plans Of 1867, the World claims,
are only ripcninS to their fruitiOn in 1882.
Tho expose is likely to create decided
sensation in political circles in New York.
THE end Of the Egyptian war has caused
4 boom in various securities on tho London
exchange, and it is said American stocks
have risen in sympathy with tho general
upward movement Of tbc market. A
small clique Of brokers are taking advan
tage of this boom " to try and foist those
immortal Confederate bonds once moro
upon the public. They manage to make a
price and get than quoted but the ''trans.
actions'' arc all bogus. The present quo
tation is Il. The British public generally
now at last understand that this matter is
an out and out swindle, and the Spectators
arc likely to have their labor for their
pains.
GEN. BEAVERS recent visit to Warren
recalls to the Ledge" \ chapter Of history
that is not very creditable to tho Sta'wart
candidate. Some of the facts of Miles
charges against Superintendent Supder-
land, of the asylum for the insane, are re-
produced. Miles, now deceased, was u
Republican, but a few years ago he show
ed up the frauds of the superintendent.
A committee Of Legislative roosters, in.
Guiding Tom Cooper, investigated tue
matter aud whitewashed the superintend.
ent. Gen. Beaver, one Of the threc state
commissioners, defended Sunderland and
abused Miles, but finally, in order to pre-
vent more revelations, admitted the charges
and Sunderland placed some $4,000 in
bank to be used rs 4 contingent fund in
decorating the grounds, etc. The Ledger
does not charge Gen. Beaver with corrup-
tion, but these revelations, rs we'll rs the
mismanagement of tho agricultural col
lege, go to show conclusively that the
Stalwart candidate is not tho kind of man
to choose for governor. His record rs al
Investigator and reformer bears striking
contrast to that of Controller Pattison.
