Why the Bad Boys P;
Couldn't Get Home.

''Oh, PEG" lie are-not all as good

man. as he watched the boy making
sneak on a bunch of grapes.
but did you 90 to the circus ?"
Circus? Well, should assimiI-
ate. And it is a wonder am not
there yet. But. whatever you do,
don't ask Pa if he was at the circus,
cause he will kill you. You see, pa
and L drove up TO the racetrack,
where the circus was, in the eyen>
ing, and after the circus was out we
waited to see the men take the tents
down, and after they had gone we
started to drive home. It was
darker than . squaw's pocket, and
drove out on the racetrack. and the
old horse used TO be a racer and he
pricked up hisgears. Pa took the
lines and said he would drive, cause
we were out pretty late and ma
would be nervous. told pa didn't
believe he was on the right road,
but he said he guessed nobody
could fool him about the road to
town, and bless me if he didn't
drive around that track about eight
times. Every time we passed the
grand stand, which pa couldn't see
on account of his eyes, LATED but
thought if he knew the road so
COMPOUNDED well l could ride as
long as he could.
"After we had rode around the
track about eight miles, and 1 was
getting sleepy, 1 mildly suggested
that we had better stop at a house
and inquire the way to town. and
pa got mad and asked me if took
him for a fool. Then he drove
around couple Of miles more, and
the man who keeps the track he
came out wi b a lantern and said
sHellop Pa stopped and asked him
what he wanted, and he said, o.
nothin,' and pa drove ON and told
him to mind his business, We
went around the track again, and
when we got TO the same place the
man was there, and i guess pa
thought it was time to inquire the
way, so he pulled up and asked the
man what. he was doing there, and

were on the right road to town, and
the man said if we wasn't in q
hurry he would like to have us
drive on the track all night, as it
was little heavy, and he wanted
to get it into condition to speed the
colts next day, but if we had to go
we could drive out of the gate and
take the first left-hand road.
swell, pa was mad,and he wanted
to know why didn't tell him we
were on the track, but 1 told him he
seemed to know it all, and It was
dangerous to advise a man who
knew it all. He didn't speak all the
way to town, but when put up the
horse he said: 'Henery, if this thing

Poor Congressman.
The Difficulties They Find in Living on
Their Salaries.

A Washington letter to the Philadelphia
Press says: / ran across Congressman
the other day who was looking for quarters
for himself and family during the coming
session. He is poor man, who is obliged
to live on his salary, and who is, therefore,
compelled to count the cost of everything,
and cut his cloth close. A Congressman
salary is $4,000 a year and mileage, and an
allowance OF 500, believe, for postage. I
cannot mention the name of the one al
lude to, but he has wife and three chill
dren. His mileage amounts to about 5000 or
$500 year; SO his whole income is less than
$500 year. Out of this sum he must paw
three or four or half dozen county newspa-
pers for printing tickets, mere nominal
service for a good deal of money; he must
pay for banners, transparencies, flags, brass
bands, hand bills, and don't know how
many other things, to say nothing of his
own expenses in the campaign. Added to
all this, ten chances to one he has to pay
pretty dearly for his nomination--not, per-
haps, in buying delegates, though that is Of
ten done, am told, but in paying car fares,
hotel bills, etc. So you see that when a
Congressman comes to Washington he does
not have $4,000 year to his credit
My friend, as have said, is poor man,
although he is one of the ablest men in the
House. He never made dollar improperly,
and does not know how to be dishonest. He
stands as high as any member in the House.
Said he: 81 don't know what to do. L have
lived in every way. When l first came to
Washington / went to hotel, with my wife,
/ kept up my house at home, and my ex-
penses there were little less than if had

washing and the outrageous extras one al

they were nearly always cold when brought.

And my friend said nothing but the truth.
Congress is certainly no place for poor
man. If he has a family he can hardly
make both ends meet, even though he does
not entertain.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10, 1883.
The present season opens in New York
with fine "list of attractions but wheth-
er it will be a successful one on all points is
question to be answered by time only.
In the way of theatrical and operate ven
ture much has been undertaken, and, con-
sidering that times are not as flush as they
were four years since, two opera houses go
ing at once, with Patti, Gerster, Nilsson,
Scalchi, Sembrich, Campanini, Capoul, Del
Puente, Galassi, and an attendant galaxy.

cordance with Nine. PATHS modest allow
ance of $4,000 night, make rather load
for one city to carry. Prices at both houses
will be about the same. Boxes from $40 to
$50, and orchestra stalls So. Mapleson has
been promised the support of the old Acad-
envy stockholders, and doubtless will get it.
But the stockholders of the new Metropoli-
tan may not be so ready to help Mr.. Abbey
out of his difficulties, should he get into any,
after their recent subscriptions of $1,000,-
900 for the erection of the building;-it was
mortgaged for the extra 100000 which it
cost. Whatever the financial issue of the
matter, however, genuine old lovers of Ital-
ian opera-a genus which is growing rather
demod6-ought to be in Elysium. They
will hear the best living talent in all the old
time-honored tunes. A few novelties will
also be thrown in. Ponchiellis "Giocon-
d." produced in London last spring for the
first time, is one of them. Delibes' "Lak-
me-" which the American prinea donna,
Miss Van Zandt, made such a success in
Paris last winter, is another, and one which

same composers delicious "Sylvia" ballet
music, by which he is chiefly known here,
will be curious to hear. The Metropolitan
Opera House is massive, plain and common
place outside. Inside it resembles the gen.
eral plan of European opera houses, with
tier above tier of boxes. The eighty stock
holders drew their boxes by lots, reason
able and just arrangement which prevented
such men as the Astors and Vanderbilts
from buying up the best, to the detriment
of others who had gone into the thing with
equal rights.
Tickets for the Henry Irving, Ellen Terry
and London Lyceum company season are

the "Bells," in which Irving has achieved
one of his greatest successes, for it calls for

The man with the toughest constitution
on record is probably the New York laborer
who has just completed the swallowing of
i've dozen bottles of an alleged medicine pre-
scribed by quack and has vitality enough
left TO bring a suit against the quack for $500,
the price of the medicine, which the quack
stipulated should be refunded if the patient,
after he had taken the last spoonful, did not
admit that he had been benefited. The
quack undoubtedly expected his patient to
die long before he reached the last spoonful,
and the wonder is that he was disappointed.

Saturday night characterized Butler as a
man not to be trusted,'' as an s'apostate,' y
as "double-tongued," and as the man "who
applied the knife of treachery to the Demo
cratic party in $780," Nevertheless, he was
not sure but the local interests of Massachu-
setts demanded such a leaderl 1t would be
interesting to know what kind of local in
terests Senator Bayard thinks may be ad-
vanced under the leadership of imam not

and a man with double tongue.

Assistant Postmaster General Frank Hat
toms contemptuous illusions to civil SER
vice reform were, it is reported, made a
subject of discussion at cabinet meeting
last Friday, and several members of the cab
met severely criticised them as unbecoming
an officer of an administration which was
pledged to the reform. Mr.. Hatton is au-
dacious enough perhaps to tell the cabinet
that if they do not like his views. they can
resign. There is small prospect that he
will resign himself. He belongs to the tribe
OF hangers on. But the Office will be exalted
in public respect when 1t gets rid of him.

There is one man at least In the country
who looks upon the opening of the North
ern Pacific road as calamity. He is one of
the AIgonauts of 40, ana his cruise for the
golden fleece was crowned with success.
Ot late years he has been living in Portland,
Oregon. The completion of the Northern
Pacific railroad put it into his head to pay
visit to his friends in Ireland. Accordingly
he made the journey to New York, where
he spent few days waiting for TIE steam
er. The fame of John L. Sullivan had
reached the Pacific coast and this old forty
miner had conceived warm admiration for
the champion slugger of the world. Among
the New York acquaintance which he
made was man by the name of Cleary, and
to him he confided his high opinion of Sulli-
van, emphasizing it with a proposition to
bet $4,000 that Sullivan could whip any
man in the world. AS his pocketbook con-
tsined $50, 900 i'll bank bills his proposition
was something more than an empty boast,
aud Cleary proceeded to make the most of
it. Articles of agreement were drawn up
between Cleary, who alleged that he was au-
thorlzed to represent Sullivan, and another
man, who claimed to represent Jem Mace.
The old man deposited $1,000 as an assur-
ance of good faith, and in one way and
another $4,000 more was got out of him. 1t
then dawned upon him that he had been
swindled, and little investigation confirmed
this view. He has now begun an action in
the New York courts, with the prospect
that initiation into the mysteries of New
York law may prove quite as expensive as
initiation into the ways of New York
thieves
