Old Scion CAMERON. Of Pennsy

OLD Scion CAMERON, Of Pennsyl-
varia, has made an important state
ment to a New York Heral0 reporter
in regard to the election of Mr.. Til
den. He says: There is q great
probability Of the next house being
Democratic, l admit, and I have often
thought how much better it would
have been for the Republican party
had it permitted Mr.. Iildren to take
his seat instead ofappointing the eight
to seven commission II order to put
in that Hayes. [ am proud to say I
voted against the commission. If the
Democratic party had been permitted
to assume power then the country
would be better off to-day and the
Democracy would certainly be rele.
gated to the rear at the next general
election. It WIS bad business, that
commission" Coming from Simon
Cameron ct an boar in which the Re
publican party is rent asunder in three
of the largest states fthe Union, this
frank aVowal OF the Justice Of NJ Til
den's claim is quite significant.

A BONANZA srATEsMAN's NIGHTS HIRT

A gentleman, who says he was a
fellow passenger of a newly elected
great man from the far West on his
latest eastern trip, has the following
story to tell of the bonanza states
man: Before it was fairly dark the
last day of our journey. the great
man ordered the porter to make up
his section of the sleeper. That done.
he directed the sable man chamber
maid, to get out his nightclothes. A
gorgeous velvet cap, elaborately dec
Grated, was first procured. carefully
examined and hung on one of the
hooks where everybody could see it.
y magnificent rutfied nightshirt, half
smothered in costly point lace Of the
finest quality, was next brought forth
and hung on another peg, so as to fill
the space between the looped up cur
tains. Everything was in readiness,
but the great man, who evidently in
tended retiring early to get good
nights rest. changed his mind, and
did not seek his couch until ten
O'Clock. The passengers had chance
to inspect the superb garments at
their leisure, and they availed them
selves of the blessed privilege. The
ladies feasted their eyes. on the en-
broidered nightcap and on the splen-
did nightshirt, with its $3.50 worth of
lace trimming, until their appetite
for riches was satiated. The lucky
possessor of SO much textile splendor
pretended to be oblivious OF his sur
rotlndings, but it was noticed that he
witnessed the eager curiosity of his
fellow passengers, and listened to the
whispered comments with keen en-
joyment he could scarcely conceal.
A small boy with new pair of red
topped boots, the only ones in the
could not have been
more intensely self-complacent. If
he could only have found an excuse
for putting his big diamonds on ex-
hibltion his happiness would have
been complete and overwhelming"

THE LOST BEAN-STEW.

Every Yankee is supposed to be
fond of baked beans. During our
Civil War. the New England regi
mcnts, when in camp, were loyal tc

baked beans for the Saturday night

fast. On the march the boys had tc
be satisfied with stewed- beans, fol
the bivouac did not admit of build
ing an oven. or digging of pit
wherein to bake them.
At the battle of Fishers Hill an
amusing illustration of n Yankees
devotion to his beans occurred. The
color sergeant of the Fourteenth New
Hampshire was noted for his bravery
and his fondness for stewed beans
favored with vinegar.
During the afternoon. while pre-.
parations were going on for the ad.
vance which won the field, the color
sergeant was stewing his beans. He
had just taken the kettle off the fire
and. spoon in hand. was about dining,
when he heard the orders,-
Fall in. Fall in. Forward, march,
He would not desert the flag, he
could not abandon his savory meal
Tying the steaming. sooty pail to his
belt, he took his place in the center
of the line. bore aloft the colors and
advanced with his regiment to the
charge.
He kept enc eye on the enemy and
;he other on the dangling pail at mis-
side. The battle was won, but the
boys declared that the way of the
Fourteenth was literally strewn with
beans. Youths Companion.

QUEER STORY OF ANNA DICKINSON.

W whenever Anna Dickinson wishes
to express an opinion upon any sub
ject, either privately or in public, she
makes herself practically the master,
as far as possible, of experiments
and experience, giving her nearly alb
solute knowledge of the matter.
Some years ago she was interested
in the subject OF intemperance. First,
she read up the subject thoroughly
from scientific, ethical and social
standpoint. Then she secured male
attire and passed days and nights.
not only in the fashionable resorts of
vice and intemperance, but in and
about the lowest dens and dives of
New York and Philadelphia. Not
satisfied with seeing all that could
be seen of drunkenness and it's re-
suits, she concluded to go to work
Systematically and get drunk herself.
At this time she was boarding at
the Continental, in the latter city.
She got one or two confidential friends
in her room, arranged to have a
physician within call, and then, or
dering liquors. set about getting
chock full in a most methodical fash
ion.
First, she drank freely of the
lighter wines. These had no effect
upon her, when she resorted to strong
er liquors. She drank on until she
had taken about everything from
claret to straight ''old Crow" and
enough altogether to have sent a
dozen registering Scotchmen under
the table. Still she was not drunk.
All of sudden, however, Miss Anna
jumped four feet in the air, clasped
her head in her hands wildly, and
gave very womanly sort of shrek.
The doctor was Immediately called,
and declared that one glass more of
liquor would surely hsd fatal effect.
She was promptly pumped out. and
the result was several weeks serious
illness. But. mind you, she did not
get drunk!

A CATS STRATEGY.

In certain doctors family there is
a cat-thought to be the smartest of
its kind. Like other cats, he is fond
of petting; but, unlike them. he wants
to do it all himself. He will rub up
against you, purring loudly, seeming
ly too happy to express himself.
But put out hand to stroke him,
or, that delight of cats! to scratch his
head, and an ugly slap with his paw
exhibits his displeasure Yet he him
self keeps on pettiDg in his own way,
jumping into your lap and stand
ing up to rub his head against your
chin.
Cats have never been known to at
tend church services, as dogs some
times do, but this cat takes an active
interest in family prayers. Having
been well brought up, he never ex-
poets to be fed until breakfast is fin
ished and prayers are over. If, how
ever, he thinks the family has sat
long enough at table, he taps his
mistress on the arm and runs swiftly
backwards upon his hind legs, and
sits up like kangaroo, begging. If
he discovers that this has no effect,
he jumps up on the little stand where
the Bibles are kept, and pushes them
off one after another.
The attention of the family is
thereby drawn, and he is punished,
but his end is gained. For the Bibles
are handed to the different members
of the family, and prayers begin.
Then he jumps upon the stand, sits
upright with wide-open eyes, SOL
emn aspect. and utters not a sound
during the reading and the prayer,
until the doctor says amen" Be-
fore the word is finished. an impera-
tive MeO,c tells he we'll knows that
his turn has come at last.
