ANOTHER correspondent, this time Mr.. Jap
Turpen has been to New York and Grey
stone, and has had an interview with Mr.
Tlden. The report spreads over four col
umns of the News. A careful reading gives
the following remarks from the Sage
"Would you like to walk to the piazza and
'If you like cattle, l want to show you some
Jerseys" These are absolutely all the words
quoted as coming from Mr. Tilden, but the

sipation, the total bankruptcy of happiness
in this world, it were a noble thing to still
remain loyal to ones sacred honor Some
such sentiment must be generally in
culcated so as to make legal enactment
effective, and then the law should be drawn
in conformance to the improved sentiment.
1t is shameful that this matter has gone so
far IN disgrace. Too many have dishonored
themselves and brought shame upon others.
The husband or wife who has been disap-
pointed, deceived, hurt or outraged should
be slow to seek legal redress. The law can
never bring balm to him or to her who is to
blame, and one or both are cupable in every
instance. The growing evil of wholesale di-
vorce must be checked, and to do this the
reform must begin with those who marry.
Men and women should be slow to enter the
married state, but, once in, should be hon
orable enough to abide by the consequences,
cheerfully discharging every duty and char
itably ignoring those things which are un-
pleasant if not positively disagreeable. If
personal honor be forgotten in so grave a
matter there is little hope OF integrity else

SwINDLERs and cranks are still abroad in

gentleman to travel over the State pretend
ing to buy sheep, and to obtain the
signatures Of the heaviest taxpayers OF the
State to petitions asking the Legislature to re-
duce salaries and taxation. and to tax church
property the same as other property. There
are many suspicious circumstances connected
with this kind of business, and we would
warn farmers and everybody else to be care
full what they sign. This is an old dodge of
the criminal classes to swinde people, and
especially farmers, whose signatures are in
many cases, turned into signatures to proms-
sorry notes. These may be transferred to in

lected any time within ten years.

THOSE persons who have been accustomed to
walk into an artists studlo ask him the price
of "gem," and, If satisfied, hand over to him

tive than ordinary mOrtals. and must be ap-
preached on The gross question of money in
delicate and diplomatic manner. There is an
etiquette about it which is thus laid down by an
art publication, which may be considered au-
thority: sit Is not usual to ask an artist the
price OF his picture at sight. IF a visitor sees
painting which he wishes to possess, he asks,
simply, that he may have the refusal of II, or
saws to the artist: Il wish TO have this picture,
if it is not disposed Of After leaving the studio
the visitor writes and asks the price, of which
he is informed by the artist in visiting. Should
the price be larger than the would-be purchaser
is disposed give he writes to that effect and it
is no breach of etiquette to add that so much,
naming a certain sum, is all he proposes to
spend at present. This gives opportunity to
the artist OF lowering his price. II is not usual,
however, to haggle about the sum, and the cor
respondenee should not be carried further than
this unless 1t be an intimation from the artist
that he will accept the counter proposal of the
buyer, and that the picture awaits his further

One Concerning COmmendable Honesty, and
the Other Relating Astounding
Dishonesty.

MONTREAL, Jan. 4.-The firm of NJ. Fisher
& Sons failed in 1870 and resumed only pay
ing English creditors eleven shillings on the
pound. The firm paid up in full on the 1st
inst, at a cost of So, ,00O although there was
no legal claim on them.
In 1877 clerk named Trotter, in the
employ of Riddle & Evans, of this
city, absconded, taking with him
about 5000 belonging to the firm.
there entered firm as bookkeeper. In a
few years he became partner, and remitted
the amount of his defalcation to lawyer to
pay over to his former employers. The
money was lodged in court pending litiga-
ton between the partners of the dissolved
firm, and is now claimed by Trotter's firm,
he having been convicted of forgery and SEN
fenced to seven years imprisonment. He
robbed his partners and the banks OF 9l5,000.

street-Car Bandits in st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 4.-Late last night, five
pickpockets boarded a car on the Olive
street line and attempted to pick the pockets
of Leslie A. Moffet, late police commissioner,
and Charles Dickson, street railway superin-
tendent They were repulsed, and then they
attacked the two gentlemen, beating them
about the face with brass knuckles This
same gang of ruffians boarded cars of this
line on Monday and Tuesday nights. On
Monday night, ]. L. Peters lost a valuable
watch, and on Tuesday James Grant lost
pocketbook. The thieying is done at II
o'clock, an hour when the police are chang
ing their watch. This proves that the band
are professionals. Citizens generally are
much excited over these attacks.

MIR. FERRY RENOMINATED
He Secures the Caucus Nomination, but
the Contest Is Not Finished.

DETROIT, Mich. Dec 4.-The Republican
members of the Legislature to the number of
fifty-seven assembled this evening to uomi-
nate a candidate for United States Sena-
tor and all but one participated
in the proceedings On the first informal
ballot Senator Ferry received 46 votes, and
10 scattered. On the formal ballot he re-
ceived so, to 6 scattering. The nomination
was then made unanimous. Mr.. Ferry
was subsequently introduced to the caucus
and made a short speech accepting the nom-
ination, and thanking his friends for their
support.
The situation now stands thus: twenty
four Republicans did not attend the
caucus, and declare themselves not
bound by the proceedings. They
still adhere to the determination
already expressed, not to go into any caucus
where sixty seven votes are not required
to nominate a candidate. Counting all
that attended the caucus as bound by its
action Mr.. Ferry lacks ten of the necessary
majority of the entire Legislature to elect
and his opponents claim he can never OBJ
tain these votes. Mr.. Ferry's friends, on the
contrary, express themselves satisfied with
the result, and avow belief that enough
of those not participating in to-nights eau
cts will eventually be secured to
elect him. The situation is almost
entirely similar 70 that OF 1878
when the late Senator Chandler was
defeated and Judge Chrstiancy elected, ex-
cept that the margin OF opposition needed to
elect is nearly twice as large now as then.
