UPsON AND ROBINSON.

Yesterday Mr.. Epson and Mr.. Robinson,
who is decided friend of Ireland, had little
tilt upon the army question. The following
appears in the dispatches:
Epson spoke in favor Of keeping up we'll
disciplined army. He thought that the COM
munistic and Socialistc nutterings OF human
slaughter spoliation and Outlawry, under the
guise of labor strikes, encouraged by loud
mouthed demagogueS, were unmlstakable
warnings of internal danger TO the peace and
good order of the country.
In concluding. Epson made alluSlon to the
high degree of efficiency OF the English army,
which brought Robinson, of New York, to his
feet, with the remark that he could not tell
whether Upson's speech eulogized the AmeriS
can or English army. He admired the Ameri-
can army, but dishked to see its officers rot-
rine around after the representatives of a
monarchy. He wanted 10 block the abomln-
able feeling that was getting into the heads OF
snobs and lunkeys to initiate monarchy,
without having the brains that surround It..

Old Marriage Announcements.


Mrs. Grundy has declared that May
shall not wed December without incur
ring her severe displeasure. When such
a marriage took place it was usually
recorded in some such way as this:
"22 August 0782). At Bath, Capt.
Hamilton, aged 80, to Mrs. Monson, a
lady of rank and fortune, aged IS. !"
There could scarcely be greater dis
tance between the ages of married
couple than eighty years, so we may
copy the record that in February. 1863,
there was married Robert Judge, Esq,
of Cooksburg, Ireland, aged 95, to Miss
Fannie Nugent, aged 15. He served in
King Williams wars and received a ball
IN bis nose" Particulars of height, as
well as of age, fortune and length of
courtship were often given: "Decem-
ber 1775), at York, Mr.. Thomas, a
grenadier in the Yorkshire militia, six
feet two inches high, to Miss Hannah
TenGick, of Clearham, three feet two
inches high, with a fortune of $1,000. f"
"5 April Q785), at Ripley Church, Mr.
Robert Long to Miss Fl. Reynard. :"
There is an eqHal disparity of age and
size in this couple; the bridegroom being
81 years of age, and more than six feet
high. The paragraph recording the
marriage in 1879 of couple aged re
spectively 80 and So, concludes thus;
"And what is still more remarkable,
there has been courtship carried on
betWiXt them for more than siXtv wears. -

Slightly Embarrassing,

He is a sensible young man who at
tends we'll to his business and manages,
his affairs TO good result He has ideas,
too, but they present themselves un-
shapely, and he has no art to put chem
into fitting words. 1t was perhaps un-
fortunate that he went to Mount Desert
this summer, to 1--we at a hotel where
chaf was not tiespised, but even cult
waited. 1t was, Of course, in the twi-
light-that hour of reckless confidence
that he came to speak of his married
cousin, who was 'iust his ideal of what
wife should be"
What is there about her so wonderful
Mr.. Marsden ?"
"Oh, l don't know particularly, but
she is what a wife ought to be-.
"That will not do, Mr.. Marsden.
When a man makes an extravagant
statement, such as you have made,
he is bound to justify it il some way.
Dotell us something definite about her.
"Well, she greets her husband when
he comes home.
This was unsatisfactory. 1t was said
that every wife does that. In fact, peo-
pie greet even their acquaintance.
Further pressed to eIumerate her per-
fections, Mr.. Marsden could only en-
large upon his previous assertion.
"She not only greets him, but she
is always ready to greet him."
So twas when the young man appeared
at breakfast, the next morning, all the
young ladies of his acquaintance IN the
room, called out In chorus;
''Mr. Marsden, we greet you'll We
not only greet you, but we are ready t.
greet you. We are all always ready to
greet YOU.

American Influence in Europe.

The influence of our American insti-
tutIons on European public opinion can
not be exaggerated. A day does not
pass that the United States is not cited
by some liberal in this or that part of
the old world TO prove the truth of his
statements. For example, NJ. Joseph
Fabre, of the French chamber of depu-
ties, in recent Grafton at Paris, refers
in this way to our country: "As re-
CARDS the power of expansion of which
democracies are susceptible do we not
find striking example of this in that
grand republic of, the United States.
which has so magnifcently Occupied
since its foundation? And if we would
know what democrac1es are capable of
in war is it not enough to recall that
lofty courage, that perseverance, that
heroism worthy of the great characters
of Greece and Rome, displayed by the
American volunteers at the time of that
epic struggle which resulted in blotting
out forever in the United States that
curse of slavery, a disgrace to democra-
cy? The American republic
proposes at this moment TO the
European states the constitution
of court of arbitration for
the pacific resolution of inter
national differences. The idea is not
new: it has been elaborated by a large
humber of thinkers; it has been ady0.
Gated In various civilized countries bv
numerous associations, and it is righr
that the idea be taken up aud carried
out to-day by the grand democracy OF
the new world.

TOLEDO, o., September 29.-The case
of Laban II. Blair, of the Ohio peui-
tentiary, sent for five years from Van
Vert, o., in 1880, for burglary, released
IN April last under a conditional pardon.
arrested here during fair week on sus-
picion, and held for violation of the con-
ditlons OF the pardon, came up in the
probate court yesterday morning. The
pardon which was granted by Gov. Fos-
ter upon the application of citizens of
Van Vert County, provided explicitly
that Blair should leave the state and not
return, and that he should abstain from
the use of Intoxicating liquors. The
conditions were explained to him. The
testimony adduced this morning
showed that he had violated all
OF them, having returned to the
state and been frequent user
OF Intoxicating liquors. Two citizens of
Van Vert who were present to testify
testified unfavorably to his previous
character, and one of them, who had
pardon, said he had signed it with the
express understanding that Blair should
be required to leave the state. After
a full hearing Judge Showan sent
the man back to the penitentiary to
work out the remainder of his SEN
tence. In fulfllment of this order the
sheriff took Blair to Columbus to-day.
This is believed to be the first case
where man has been returned to the
penitentiary under the forfeiture of
conditional pardon, as the conditional
pardon law went into effect in 1888, and
is therefore comparatively new.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, September &c..
| The great attack on the Northern
Pacifcs has lasted week and resulted
in fearful depreciation of all the prop
critics which are known in Wall Street
as Wizards" The exact state of
affairs has been mystery to the street.
The largest private investors IN the stock
reside In this city. These large stock
holders have given President Willard
full rein for two years or more. he has
been a most expensive president. The
capitalists who are Interested IN North
ern Pacific and the corporations Identical
with it oil the Pacific coast complain
that his management of the read has
been needIessly extrayagaat, and they
make four points against him:
L. He has wasted money in rushing the road
to comp etion so rapidly. Gettng out of the
reach of congressional legislation in regard to
land grants might have been good thing, but
while he dong it Wizard got into the way
of a congressional investigation and spent
great desl Of money.
2. The construction OF branches, at a high
cost of rental to the Northern Pacific, along
the main line and on the Pacific coast.
3, Projecting terminal facilities at Portland,
which, it Is said. viii cCst S6, ,0U0,OO0, If MIR.
Wizards ideas are carried out.
4. The want of judgment in the selection OF
inferior subordInates. The road needs sadly
the ablest of railroad managers at both ends OF
the line
The rolicy which has been followed
by MIR. Willard has created floating
debt of $4,000, 900 to S12 900, 600. 1t
is held that prudent management would
have averted any such weight on the
company. There has been some con-
sultation among the principal stock
holders who control the board of direc-
tors, and plan of action has virtually
been agreed on. The man who is
elected president of the road must be
one who can make money rssher
than spend it. If Willard will
pledge himself to thorough re-
firm in the matter of spending money,
if he can satisfy his hackers that IN the
future the road will be run In the inter
est of the stockholders and in accord
ance with those rules of economy which
govern successful corporate enterprises,
and if he will allow the board of di-
rectors to know all the details of expep-
diture, he doubtless will be reelected
president. If not he will not be chosen
the head of the road.
An interesting question now is how
Mr.. Willard will meet the important and
vital issue which threatens to end his
career. Heretofore his will and word
have been law. In the future there must
be a divided responsibility with the real
owners of the road, no matter who is
elected president There Will be no
trouble about providing for the defic-
iency in money. There is full con-
fidence in the earning capacity of the
road. The board of directors will do
one of two things. Issue a second mort
gage, or debenture loan for $15, ,000,-
900, or perhaps less, to run for twenty
years. payable any time after ten years.
The Oregon Transcontinental will have
nothing to do with the placing of the
loan. If the floating debt is funded the
entire bonded indebtedness of the road
will be less than $35. 900 per mile.

The Tragedy that Made Cemetery.

IT..
The Baltimore Green Mount Cemetery
has a most romantic history. Fifty
years ago it was the happy home of the
Oliver family, which consisted of the ia
ther andtwo children, son and daughter.
The daughter, who was beautiful girl,
bad many suItors, but to all did she say
nay, save one, poor young man of
whom her father disapproved, and whom
he had forbidden her to see. He had
also taken an oath that If he caught the
young man on the grounds he would
shoot him. But tue love not only
laughs at bolts and bars, but at shot
guns as WELL One evening the young
lady, having agreed to meet her lover at
the foot of the lane, donned suit Of her
brothers clothes, hoping thereby to
escape detection, and sailed forth.
Her keen eyed father caught sight oi
her as she marched boldly along, and
thinking he recognized in the trespasser
the young man who had been forbidden
the grounds, raised his gun and fired.
The feminine shrek which pierced the
| air revealed to him what he had done.
| His daughter was dead before he reached
| her side, and from that day the wretche6
! father became wanderer upon the face
of the earth. He took his son and wen
abroard, leaving his property IN the
hands of an agent with orders to sell th'
| homestead for a cemetery. In sbor
time the city purchased the grounds
and the body of the murdered girl wa
the first one to be buried there.

the time. The horse, after this gesture
has been repeated a few times, backs
away, pulls the alleged rider off the
fence, and walks up and down the lane
with him at rapid gallop. This gives
the rider, in about ten minutes, all the
exercise he wants for a week. If by
some miracle you manage to get into
the saddle, hold on with both hands
and say "whoa." The faster the horse
goes the tighter you must hold Oh, and
the louder you must holler" If you
are from New York or Philadelphia, you
shorten the stirrups until your knees
are on level with your chin. Then as
you ride you will rise to your feet and
