The New York Sun is endeavorinr
10 start boom for Hon. William S
Holman, of Indiana. OF him it says:
Holman is naturally reformer, and
reform is the great business now to be
accomplished. He is an economist.
He is strick constructionist. He
never compromises his principles, and
he never varies from the line of duty.
If he were President, the government
would experience a radical change,
and the effect of his presence in the
White House would be felt for many
and many year after he had left.
This, we think, is the kind Of man
who is now especially needed; and We
do not know another in the whole
ranks Of the democratic party who, in
the qualities and characteristics that
should go to make up the desirable
candidate for 1884, is the superior Of
William $. Holman. ~

Old Commodore Vanderbilt was not
the kind of man one would pick out
for Superintendent of Sunday School,
and yet he was free from the most con-
spicious faults Of his son William. He
made no pretension of aristocratic ex-
clusiveness, as the following little story,
which is now going the rounds, will
show: At Saratoga, on one occasion,
when sitting OH the piazza of hotel, a
somewhat overdressed lady approached
and claimed his acquaintance. The COM
modore rose and talked affably with her,
while his wife and daughter shifted the
air with scorn. Gather" said the
young lady, as the commodore resumed
bis seat, "didn't you remember that vul-
gar Mrs. B as the woman who used
to sell poultry to us at home" "Cer-
tainly," responded the old gentleman,
loud enough to be overheard, "and l re-
member your mother when she used to
sell root beer at three cents a glass over
in Jersey, when went up there from
Staten Island peddling oysters out of my
boat" And this is all there is of the
Vanderbilt aristocracy. 1t used to be
the remark of the old commodore that
civilian always was a fool" and he
comprehended his son at an earlier
period than did anybody else.

COACHES IN THE DAYS OF GEORGE Nv.

Hackney coaches were always drawn
by pair of horses, for the most part
miserable looking creatures, which it
would have been cruelty to urge to any
speed, though fancy they were capable
of keeping up their jog-trot for a con-
siderable time. The drivers were usual
ly elderly men, attired in stone-colored
great-coats with many capes. l also
just remember two or three sedan
chairs waiting for hire near the old
squares at the west end of town, but
they were worn and shabby, though
with likeness enough of their better
selves to recall Hogarth's pictures to
mind. There were stage coaches from
certain central points to the suburbs
running several times a day, but seldom
starting on their last journey later than
8 80 O'Clock p. NJ. Small chance was
there of procuring a place in the "last
coach" from any suburban district
without the preliminary ceremony of
booking it. There was always, however,
and at all hours of the day, one hope---
though often a forlorm one---for the
tired wayfarer, and this was "return
chaise." The phrase, familiar enough
so or go years ago, has no meaning now +,
but when railways were not, and the
Weather classes travelled chiefly by
aid of post-horses, the empty postchaise
on its return journey was often to be
seen on the highroad. The postillion,
be sure, always kept his eyes open to
catch any sign from pedestrian going
the same way, for it was common
thing for the roomy yellow chariot to
halt and little bargain to be struck
in accordance with which the pedestrian
obtained ga lift. - London Society.
