Middletown transcript., 1883-03-02

Mrs. ELLEN WEIGH, a wealthy
New York widow, is not afraid Of
burglars. She knows how to receive
them. She might faint at the sight of
a mouse but she is courageous before
a night-prowling thief. Three burg
lars came to the door of her apartment
while she was lying awake with the
toothache, Tuesday night. She got up
and put OH a wrapper and smoothed
her hair down, SO that she might look
as neat as possible under the circum-
stances. Then she took revolver
from the bureau drawer, ,and just as the
burglars were trying skeleton key to
the lock she threw the door wide open.
The burglars were surprised and en-
barrassed, for they had never had an
introduction tot the widow, and theirposi-
ton was q trying one, even to burglars.
The widow added to their embarrass-
ment by firing two shots at them, and
they fed, leaving bloody trail behind
and dropping bag containing $500
worth of the widows dry goods, which
they had secured inanother room. New
York burglars will hereafter be more
careful how they 60 prowling around
the apartments of lone widows with
the toothache.

SENATOR DAVID DAVIS. whose mind
is said to be filled with the charms of
matrimony, has given notice of his in
tention to resign the Presidency of the
Senate on Saturday next. He resigns
Sin view of possible exigencies that
might affect the public service" The
" exigencies'' relate to the Presidential
succession. AS Congress has failed to
make any provision for the emergency
threatened by the death Of President
Garfield, and as the present Congress
expires on March 4th, there will be no
constitutional successor to the Presi-
dency after that day unless the Senate
chooses a President pro tenpore in place
of Mr.. Davis, whose Senatorial term is
about to end. The choice Of the Senate
is likely to fall upon Mr.. Edmunds.

who never lied and who thought also
that everybody else told the truth. All
that old stock Of men are dead now.
Well, the cherry-tree was small, but
it was straight, and it looked like it
might grow if it had half chance.
Augustine had it planted in front Of his
house so that he could watch it during
fruit season, and lie put some stable
manure around it and wrote the name
of it down in his book SO that he
wouldn't forget it, and went away in
the happy belief that he would soon
have Polly,gopus cherries for the whole
family.
About this time of year little George,
who had by some means come into pos
session Of brand new hatchet, was GO
ing about the premises seeking that
which he might cut in pieces. He had
chopped small piece off one of his
fingers, had curtailed the family cur's
tail until the cur had hardly any tail
left to curtail copyright applied for,
and still he was not happy. The day
after the cherry-tree was planted he
sailed serenely down the path toward
it with his little hatchet in his hand.
The tree was just about the sized stick
he was looking for, and in a moment
the hatchet struck it with g sickening
thud, and down fell the priced Polly
lColpuS AsGeorge struck the fatal blow
he looked up toward the house and
there he saw his beloved paternal an
cestor intently regarding him from his
study window. 1t made little George
unsteady to see his father thus at the
study window In few minutes
Augustine came out Of the house and
walked slowly toward George, and the
closer he got the more unhappy George
became. He made up his mind at once
to make a clean breast of the whole
business. He would own right up and
throw himself upon the mercy of his
father. So when Augustine came upon
the scene, with a terrible frown upon
his brow that appeared to 60 around
and tie behind his neck, and gently
asked, George, my beloved son, who
felled this PollyacOlpuS cherry-tree with
an edged tool P" George said right out
with an honest, manly light in his eye,
and sob down his throat, " Father, /
cannot prevaricate did it with my
diminutive hatchet y
Augustine Washington was for
moment deeply affected. He took out
handkerchief about the size of a bed
quilt and blew his nose, then he said in
kindly bass voice "My son, you
have done right Had you lied to me
I would have worn out every inch Of
that Pollyaropus upon your back. As
it is / will spare you and hand you over
to your mother. And if you please, l
will take that little hatchet." George
"pleased," and from that day to this
the most persistent and careful research
for the little hatchet has been fruitless.

Literary Gossip.

WE commend to the attention Of the
younger readers of the TRANSCRIPT
the article on our first page entitled
tThe Reading Habit" 1t is from a
neat little volume by Charles F. Rich
ardson, entitled ''The Choice of Books, "
which we should like to see put into
the hands Of every boy and girl who is
Aold enough to begin to cultivate a taste
for good literature. 1t is published by
John B. Alden, Is Vesey street, New
York, and may be had in very neat
binding for 40 cents.
ABOUT two months ago Fanny Dris-
coll, a young poetess whose pleasing
verses have made her name familiar to
thousands Of newspaper readers, was
married to II. I. E. White, the author
of the humorous sketches that have ap-
peared for the past two or three years
in the Chicago Tribune. Last Friday
she died of consumption at the home of
her parents in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Mrs. White was gifted and cultured
woman and though but twenty-five years
Of age she had been in the literary field
ten years.
E. W. NYE, better known as "Bill
Nye," who, as editor of the Laramie
Boomerang, has gained high reputa-
tion as humorist, continues to be seri-
ously i'll. His paper has had nothing
from his pen in months, and thousands
have missed the entertaining sketches
that were once given birth on the pages
of the Boomerang. Mr. Nye is now at
Greeley, Colorado, too i'll to proceed on
his purposed Southern journey in search
of health. His physician pronounces
his malady spinal meningitis. Over
working probably caused it. The days
of the man who contracts with himself
to write from three to six columns of
fresh humor week are few and full of
headache.

ABOUT seven O'Clock Of last Friday
evening Professor Lewis Swift, Of
Rochester, New York, pointed his tel
escope toward the western sky and
discovered a brilliant little comet i'll
the constellation Of Pegasus, flying
eastward through space with its tail
over the dashboard. 1t was going like
late passenger after the last ferry
boat, and if it keeps on it will probably
get there, though Professor Swift is
reticent on this point. Whether this
celestial visitor is a new or secondhand
comet, is a point yet in doubt.

SOME PERSON down at Dover, who
probably has town lots for sale, wants
a mansion built for the Governor. The
Legislature will do well to sit down
hard on this little scheme to give Dover
another public building to tickle her
vanity. A Governors mansion in Del
aware is not needed, for the Governor
could not live in it unless he was a
"retired" person. If the Legislature
wants to throw away some of the
States money merely to give Dover
something "to point to with pride, .
let it buy a cast-iron jackass for the
middle of Dover Green.

A CORRESPONDENT in another col
umn urges the Legislature to remove
the license tax on physicians. The
TRANSCRIPT heartily agrees with him
in what he says relative to this tax
Doctors work hard in season and out Of
season, often risking life and health in
the pursuit Of their profession, and few
Of them ever accumulate much money.
A great deal of their services, particu-
larly in the country, must be given gra-
tuitously. A tax on physicians is
wrong, and the Legislature would do
well to remove it.

TEN Washington detectives were
indicted on Tuesday for receiving stolen
property. Receivers of stolen goods
occasionally get into trouble, though
the business is doubtless less risky than
that Of stealing. This is the reason,
no doubt, that so many professional
thieves turn detective. Between the
thieves and the detectives, ever on the
alert to turn an honest penny, nobody
is safe but country editors, and they are
safe only because they have nothing
worth stealing.

TWENTY-FIVE years ago Governor
Click, Of Kansas, was driving an OK
team. Governor Ireland, of Texas,
was once a hostler at eight dollars per
month. Governor Tom Waller, of
Connecticut, once sold newspapers on
the streets of New York, and when the
weather was cold danced to keep his
bare feet warm. Uncle Rufus Hatch
began life as chain carrier in survey
ing a Wisconsin railroad. The late
Edwin D. Morgan, who left fortune
estimated at about $4,000, 900, was
once clerk at forty dollars per month.
There are great opportunities in this
country for young men who have the
pluck and enterprise to grab opportu-
mites by the hair and hold on to them.

GILBERT j. CRowELL, of New
York, was rich man. For many
years he was cashier Of bank, and his
friends had great confidence in his in
tegrity and business qualities. Large
estates were placed in his hands, and he
was believed to be as secure as a rock
and as careful as a cart-horse. But he
caught the mining fever. His own for
tune and more than 100000 of money
held by him in trust for other people
were sunk in y Utah silver mine, and
Gilbert L. Crowell now realizes, prob
ably, how easy it is for man to he a
fool
