.1Two Men Tn Buckram Suits.o

Charles L. Brown is lad, fourteen
years old, who has been an assistant
in the office of the Deputy Sheriff, at
Boston. One day last week, the lad
took a notion that he would help him
self to the contents of the safe. So
he began to tamper with the lock, but
it refused to open for him. Here was
nice predicament. The safe showed
that it had been tampered with; the
Deputy would be in shortly, and what
was the lad to do?
But boys are never lacking in re-
sources in this great country Of ours.
The Literature Of the day furnish the
lively youth with a means of escape
from every difficulty. So this Boston
youth slipped a pair of handouts upon
his wrists, stuffed an old newspaper
into his mouth, and lay down upon
the floor Of the Office. Shortly after
ward the Deputy Sheriff came in when
the youth, on being released, swore,
by-by-the crooked eye Of Gov But
Ter, that two men had entered the Of
flee, bound and gagged him, and at
tempted to rob the safe. But the
Deputy wouldn't believe him-and he
was compelled to acknowledge the
truth. Playing Jesse James is rather

Porter and Thomas.

Senator Don Cameron made speech
in the Senate few days ago in which
he made statement which will be
considered by the old Army of the
Cumberland as disgustingly ridicu-
lous. 1t is to the effect that in 1861
Fitz-Jo ohm Porter persuaded Thomas
to be patriot instead of a traitor to
his country, and that Porter is to be
in part credited with the great services
Of Thomas. The traitor of Bull Run
teaching loyalty to the Rock of Chick
amauga! Why, it would scarcely be
surprising if the ghost of the noble
old hero Of Nashville should arise and
kick Cameron and Porter clean across
the Potomac River.
