Not in Need OF Sympathy.

Denver Letter IN COurier-JOurnal.
On the train there was woman with three
children, aged respectively 5, z and
9. I wondered what could induces sane
woman to start ON a journey with such in
cumbrances. 1pict1rsd her as widow who
was being shipped west to her friends. I
dwelt upon her past with sort of morbid
satisfaction; turned ziotous imagination
loose among her misfortunes, and presently,
being weary of the silence 1 had preserved for
several hundred miles, went over to con-
sole with her. Conceive, il you can, my dis
gust when Learned that she was en- route to
q circus about eighty miles distant, bent on
giving those urchins holiday. She informed
me in the course Of the conversation that the
trip cost her 500 altogether, but
she had cleared $1,000 on her ranch in
Nebraska last year, and felt that she could
afford a holiday. Whenever I have noticed
a woman at theatre or any other place of
amusement with one baby have invariably
regarded it as an incipient case of insanity;
but when found this woman with her three
babies going "eighty miles to a circus" was
dumb. These Nebraska women are not re
markedly for beauty, but they certainly
don't lack nerve. This one was evidently not
suffering for sympathy, and 1 went back to
my place and the rapidly dissolving views Of

AT 10 o'clock the steamer made in toward
the right bank of the Hudson river, and pulled
up at place just below Dobb's ferry, over
which was flaming sign bearing the name
Of well known brewery The people flocked
ashore, and it is presumed that no children
had been lost, as there were no anxious wall
ings from the mothers. They trooped away
like sheep, and rushed into the alleged park.
There they ate their lunches which they had
brought with them, and talked unfortunately,
while their children played around in the
alleged woods, and the young people sent
each other whrlng through the air in the
long swings, and merry go-rounds
At 4 oclocl, they were all summoned to
the steamer by repeated whistles and after a
half hours tedious delay, every body started
down toward the city The park was closed,
the politician was asleep in the captains
room Of the barge, and many OF the honest
laborers were in state Of advanced joyous
AeSS. Ino young people gave up tile waltz
and INDUCED in sort of can-can, and the
young men outdid each other in wild and
grotesque posngs. The children lay about
the decks on all sides sleeping from utter
fatigue and the mothers talked and talked
with garrulity that was simply maddening.
Every once in while there would be- a row
as the combative spirits were repressed from
too wild dancing OF other unseemly behavior
by the boat hands, and tho result was
number of rough-and-tu fights. So that
when the steamer at last bumped into the
lower dock on the east river it was Q
o'clock, and a more disguised, booty i'll
natured crowd never landed in New York
than that which trooped ashore.

Almost a Case OF Bigamy.

Under the head of unfinished business
Waydown Bebee called up the resolution to
inquire into the charge that Pickles Smith
left two wives in Virginia and came to Mich
igan to take third He would say that he
had known Brother Smith for many years,
He had soldiered with him, been seasick at
the same time, followed his cradle in the
wheatfeld, and both had been put off the
same freight train seventy-fve miles from
home. He had always found him reliable,
honorable, and willing to walk milo out Of
his way to hook a watermelon.
Trustee Pullback was acquainted with the
two wives left in Virginia. One had a stiff
knee, and would throw the ak when she got
mad, while the other was cross eyed, and
was forever singing hymns through her nose
Elder Penstock said ne had the honor OF
marrying Brother Smith to his third wife,
and received 81 in cash for the job. Any
man who would pay cash down for third
marriage could not be human hyena. He
hoped that Brother Smiths otfense would be
condoned.

dent, after several other members had eY-
pressed their opinions, ode fust wife you
run'd away from am dead, an dat settles her.

The Laborer Inauiry.

NEW YORK, Oct. Partridge, of the
produce exchange, continued his testimony
to-day before the senate subcommittee.
The witness testified as to corners or gam
bling, as he characterized it, on the ex-
change. Nearly 1000 of the 5000 mem
bers of the exchange, he said, were gam
blers and the law of supply and demand
had nothing to do with this speculation, as
the remedy for gambling, he said, would
make it penal offence for parties to sell
what they did not own or control, and
personal offence for any
body to buy the necessaries
of life and hold them for speculation.
Witness in concluding begged to present
through the committee a petition to con
gress regarding this evil. Senator Blair
said they would Incorporate the petition in
witness testimony. Clinton Furbash,
rubber manufacturer, advocated free trade,
and Osmund H. Schweiner read a paper
on the immense speculative transactions
Of the country, imitation of the currency
and on watered stock.
