Unwritten History.
CHICAGO, January 2d.-A Washington
correspondent says: The uuwritten history
of the period from the election of Hayes to
his inauguration il most replete with interest
and Intrigue. Several prominent Democrats,
including Bayard and Thurman, meeting one
day about that time, decided on a certain line
Of action which they desired Tilden to follow.
Bsv. Tucker, of Virginia, as he was fami.
isrly called, was commissioned to visit New
York and lay before Tilden the committees
suggestions, which embraced these PROPOSE.
tions Firss-That Tilden should allow
Hayes to be seated without making any
effort to prevent it. Sscond-An Electoral
Commission. Third-Thst Tilder, having
been legally elected, should claim his seat, if
he had to fight for is. Mr.. Thurman counted
off the instructions on his fingers, and started
Bev. on his trip. He returned ct the close of
the second dsy.
"Well, what success 2" asked the Judge,
who saw in Bev.s face no promise of hope.
81 did just as you told me, said Bev.; 81
held up one finger and named the first propo-
s;tion but Sammy would not agree to it.
Down goes that finger, says 1. The second
proposition was also rejected. and down went
another finger. l then offered the third
proposition. but Tilden started back in hor.
ror, and, shaking his hands deprecatinsly,
said, No! No. No bloodshed No bleod-
shed = and down goes the last finger, said
l, end 1 left, without waiting for further dis
cuss;or." Thurman was mad as hornet at
what he termed Tilden's want of backbone,
and for a time bternly refused to interest
relented, and became, several weeks later,
member of the Electoral Commission.
A Washington Sensation.
WAsHINGToN, January 2d.-A full-hsdged
sensation is agitating diplomatic circles. The
four parties to it are Count in diplomatic
breeches, society belle, q cautious uncle
aud an irate Colonel in the United States
army. The Count undertook to give lessons
in French to the young lady, who is noted
for her beauty and refinement. The young
lady took to both lessons and the Count
kincly, much to the disgust of her uncle,
who has an antipathy to foreignerr, espe-
cially when they are handsome and insin.
uating. The Colonel, who is thought to have
a liking for the young lady himself, shared
the uncle's antipathy TO this particular for
eigner. The four met at the uncles resi-
dence few nights ago. The Count was
charming in his attentions to the belle, and
her eyes teamed with light dangerously
akin to love. This angered the Colonel and
outraged the uncle. By degrees the CONVEX
cation became personal, and the young lady
got UP and left the room. Then the Colonel
spoke his mind freely, bringing on climax
swiftly. The Count left, sent challenge,
which was accepted, and pistols and next
week chosen as weapons and time. Il is
doubtful whether their friends will succeed
in making settlement but they are trying.

people along the Pacific coast. That used TO
be my old hunting ground"
"If you and Sullivan go on en- extensive
tour who will be with Jem Mace and his IN
known ?"
THAT has been arranged. We will return

"Do you know anything about the status
of the unknown!
Nothing more than that he is q New
Zealander.
'sWhat does Sullivan think of him.
"Hs ssys he can lick any half breed they
bring. 1 believe he can, too. Sullivan is
sturdy young fellow.
g He didn's seem to be able to do much
with you at the benefit. He failed to get in
one on your face.
esHe did very well. You must remember
that DO man living can hit nee On the nose if
don'e want him to- Jem Mace tried il, and
failed"
"If you were ten or twelve years younger
do You think you could give Sullivan a
bout p
"Ten or twelve years ego would have
fought any man in the world. l am done
with prizs.fghting now. My last fight was
with Jem Mace. Everybody knows 1 had
him whipped, but they would not let us finish
the fight"
Cost OF Travel TO California.
New YORK, January 2d.-The Sun pays
prominence to the communication If core.
spondent who says that he has thrice made
an overland trip: How invalids survive
the exposure of an overland trip puzzles me.
Depend upon il, California can never be
fashionable winter resort with Fasteners.
With my wife / made an excursion into
Florida from New York, and returned via
the Mississippi river. The two excursion
tickets cost 5000. To come here and re.
turn from California we will spend $3.50.
Compare this with winters ride to Florida
and Georgia, where the climates are the same
as Californis. The charges for board and
lodging are as reasonable as IN the South. 1t
ia travel that makes the difference. Indeed,
California hotel charge are less than Chicago,
while the tables are better supplied"
