l have q joke on Judge Charley Clan
cy that will break your heart. 1t was
the eve of the day on which the Bliss
SpraGue contest was to be decided. In
the Delavan House band Of gladiators
were assembled reviewing the field and
fortifying themselves against the enemy.
Some one remarked that Clement, OF
Saratoga, was not doing right in voting
to seat Sprague.
Il know man that can fix him." ex-
claimed Judge Clancy.
''Who is he?n asked Gen. Spinola,
deeply interested. Telegraph to him
by ali means.''
So the Judge hastened down to the
telegraph office, 10th to trust the duty
to Il waiter, and soon was speeding on
its way this message:
To Steve Dunn, Saratoga:
You are wanted here Immediately
Matter of great necessity. Take next
train. G. NJ. CLANCY.
The Judge waited an hour, but no
response came, and the council of wal
advised another dispatch, and it went
off as follows:
Why don't you answer my dispatch?
If you re friend Of mine lose no time
in coming.
Still no answer, and at last the Judge,
out of patience, sent the following:
To Postmaster, Saratoga:
Is Steve Dunn in town? Have wired
him twice and got no answer.
The answer came back rs follows:
Yes, Steve Dunn is in that part of the
town devoted to cemetery purposes
He's been dead two years.
POSTMASTER.
All the gladiators laughed excep,
Charley.

D1sCoNrENr IN INDIA.
Steadily Growing Dissatisfaction with the
Rule of the British.

Rule of the British
Calcutta Correspondence London Times.
A letter published in the Calcutta States
man of Friday last, and received from its
Simla correspondent, has attracted much at
tention. This newspaper has already strong
ly supported the criminal jurisdiction bill
and most of the other measures of the pres
ent government. The letter in question
would seem to indicate that the government
has at last been compelled to recognize the
gravity of the position into which it's hasty
attempts at legislation have brought it.
The writer begins by reluctantly admit
ting that the reports sent in by the local ad-
ministrations show very strong concensus
of opinion against the bill. The support ac-
corded to it in Bombay is greater than in
one wishes to see the bill passed in its en-
tirety. He then goes on to state that the
spirit now abroad in the country affords
food for serious reflection. While
attributing the existence OF this spirit in
some degree to writings in the Anglo-Indian
press, he adds that the violent tone of the
native newspapers has had a much larger
share in producing it, inasmuch as its effects
are at Simla more perceptible among the un-
educat ted class, who derive their knowledge
of current affairs from the vernacular press.
He then cites some instances like the follow
ing, which, unimportant in themselves, yet
serve to show how the wind blows: A peon,
or Office messenger, insulted three gentle
men by pushing rudely past them and tell
ing them the English raj was over. Another
gentleman was grossly insulted by group
of natives of the lower orders, who informed
him that there would soon be another
Afghan affair, when they would be the
Afghans.
A few months ago (the correspondent adds)
cases such as these were unheard of in anv
part of India, and the statement that they
had occurred at the very headquarters of In
dian bureaucracy would have been absolutely
incredible Here in Calcutta several similar
and even worse cases are reported; and with
in the last few days profound sensation has
been caused by two attempted outrages OH
English ladies by low-caste menials-one IN
the very center OF Calcutta the other in the
suburb of Howrah.

Theft of Importapt Evidence,

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 13.-A great sensa-
ton was caused here late to-day, by the
discovery that last night some one stole
from the State Treasurers office the bank
ledger containing the States accounts with
its repositories from May, 1877, to January,
1888. The book was kept for NJ T.
Polk, now on trial here, by Captain
]. G, Fleming, and contains the entries re-
lied on by the prosecution to convict
Polk and its disappearance is
greatly commented on. A reward of
$3.50 is offered for the return of the book or
the detection of the person who stole it. No
doubt is entertained, however that the facts
necessary for conviction can be secured with
out the book
