He presents curious appearance. but his
lectures show vast fund of information
and intelligence; he gave description Of
some of the streets in Jerusalem; the
churches built or the sacred mountains
that over look the city; the ruined foun-
dations of Solomon's temple; the river
Jordan and the Dead sea. We are told
that at the close of the lecture the rever
end gentleman was found to be a good
customer for the saloon keepers and thai
he was the worse for liquor" when he
left town Hearing of this fact lowers
him considerably in the estimation oi
many of bis hearers.
One night last week the clerk at the
Metropolitan Hotel, soon after leaving one
of the members of the Simon Comedy
Company in carefully arranged room
for the night, was startled by hearing a
tragic voice at the head of the stairs
Stepping out into the hall he beheld All in
furiated actor in his summer clothes, who
ferociously informed him that there were
no pillows on his bed. The comedian al
so indulged in a few other remarks which
perhaps the occasion warranted but which
seemed a little foreign to The subject in
hand. In time the clerk quieted the out
ragged gentleman down sufficiently to gel
him to retreat to his room, then following
with a supply of pillows the clerk re-
lighted the lamp and was about to make
good the deficiency in the resting place ol
theawould besleeper, when it was discov.
cred his guest had been trying TO get into
the wrong end of the bed. The stage
player turned white, then red sank back

Samples of Thrilling Locals and Unique
Advert isements.

A copy of the New York Herald dated
Dec. FL, 1885, was recently discovered among
other old papers in the possession of Mr..
David ii. Gould. Though no special anti
qdarian interest is attached to it yet perusal
of the gist ofits contents may be interesting
to the public.
The paper consists of four pages, each
about twelve inches long, and eight wide,
altogether Containing sixteen columns of mat
tel. Onglancing al it the first things which strike
the eye are two wood cuts on the first page,
one showing plan of the disastrous conta-
grafton in New York on the evening of
the 10th of Dec, 1855, and the other the
ruins of the Merchants Exchange, burned
the subsequent morning. Both are
very black, but, no doubt, they were at that
time considered models in the art preservative.
The presentation OF cut four days after the
circumstance it illustrates would, at present.
suggest rather uncomplimentary criticism of
newspaper manager, but in the case of the
Herald it was matter of congratulation 10
which the publisher several times called aten-
ton in his columns. Iust above the cut of the
exchange is the name of the paper, the date
and the words "Nolume 1, Number 81 " in |
small black letters. Then follows the state
ment:

New York, Jan. 13.-Some statisti.
clan has figured out the cost ofG uiteau's
trial to be over $50, 900. Porter and
Davidge are allowed $1,000 each; the
jury fees will amount to 81, 469. The
hotel bills for the jury and attendant
balliffs, S2,213; witness fees, including
mileage $S,07S; of which So, 199 has
been paid. In behalf of the govern
ment, and S2,8S9 for the defense; $3.50
of the latter sum going to Guiteau's
relatives; reporting and printing So, 900;
Extra deputy marshals, 1892. sundries
&c. 00.
The experts so far have received only
the regular witness fees and mileages,
but probably a way will be found to
reimburse them at least for their ex-
penses, and by so much will the aggre-
gate be increased. 1t is said that the
special attorney fund in the department
of justice is not available for this pur-
pose, and that recourse will probably be
had to congress.

goes for the labor and profit Of the bak-

A Law Unto Themselves.

Wild Horse Station, Tex, Jan. 49,
The dissatisfaction among the workmen
on the Texas Pacific railway at the re-
cent order from Manager Hoxie reduc-
ing their wages to one dollar and if-
teen cents per day, has eliminated in
this place, 500 miles west of Dallas.
The pay a being mistaken for Hoxie's
private car, was side tracked by a large
force of desperate men determined to
lynch Hoxie. They piled wood around
the a for the purpose Of roasting him
and it was with great difficulty that
Major Kretz, the paymaster, convinced
the mob that he was not Hoxie. The
paymaster, after being detained for 4s
hours, has been allo wed to leave town.

troversies-Two Letters.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The following
letter and card has been furnished for
publication:
House of Representatives, Washing
ton, Jan. '82.-Gen. L. G.. Burbridge:
Sir-Your letter dated Jan. 9th, was
handed me last night, and as L find 1t
with accompanying documents given
to the public in this mornings prints,
1 presume it was intended for the pub
lie, as its reception and my own must be
simultaneous. Sir, it is only with the
personal phase of the issue, 80 far as it
regards myself, that 1 can deal, and as
you have abandoned that idea, there is
no longer any interest in your COM
munications.
As to your insinuations in regard to
yellow fever, which you so gratuitously
throw in to distract attention from
what has been said of yourself, all l
have to say is, that with the proofs of
which you profess knowledge, and of
which 1 am ignorant, and which you
regard as ample, if your courage ever
enables you to formulate a charge and
become responsible therefor, there will
then be ample time left me to give it
consideration. Respectfully,
tSigned) J. G. s. BLACKBURN.

four bridges. A force of $50 police and

seized at Clonmel belonged to bailiffs.

Washington, Jan. l3.-The cores

Burbridge, formerly of Kentucky, and
now u citizen of Pennsylvania, and
myself, begun by him, has, through his
fundamentally, been obtruded upon
public attention. 1 regret this, but not
because L have any reason to fear the
judgment of the public on the question
involved. For the soldiers of the Union
army who respected the law of honora-
BILE warfare 1 have no feelings but the
respect and appreciation of their man.
hood. Gen. Burbridge is outside Of
their pale, by reason Of atrocities well
known to the people Of Kentucky,
which have justly made him an outcast
from that state, where honorable men
have buried in honorable recollection
the animosities of that unhappy period.
L share fully in the d~etestations of Gen.
Burbridge and his conduct, which is
entertained alike by confederates and
Union men in the state of Kentucky,
and this feeling L have expressed on
proper occasions. The fact was made
known to him when he Intercepted
me as to my u%tterances respecting him.
l refused to modify my language or
accept his attempt at self v~indication.
l gave him frankly this nswer His
response is not an appeal to the usage
by which gentlemen have been gov
erned, but an attempt to retort by
counter insult. If this course is salts
factory to Gen. Burbridge or his friends
L cannot complain; 1 dismiss him to the
enjoyment of any honors he may have
acquired by his effort to rehabitate a
reputation which, resting as it does
upon known facts, Of shameful personal
history, cannot be made worse by aught
1 can now say against him, or improve
by his own assertions of innocence and
certificates of character. They are not
required by gentlemen, who have prac-
ticed decent respect for the opinions of
mankind.
Signed, ]. G. s. BLACKBURN.
The letter from Blackburn to Bur-
bridge was returned to the writer as
unworthy of notice. For my courage
L refer him to the history of the coun-
try, which is silent on his achievements.
For ample proof Of his attempts to in
troduce. clothing infected with yellow
fever virus into northern cities, 1 refer
him to the correspondence relating
thereto, now on file in the state depart
ment.

Upon receipt of his own letter thus
endorsed Representative Blackburn
