The EsOSS In Trouble.

Mahone'S corps of clerks and under
strappers are kept pretty busy at the pre-
sent time in sending out circulars COM
handing, entreating, and suggesting how
TO keep the dusky voters in harness, as
well as how to trap unSuspecting FunderS.
The last circular issued from the Boss's
headquarters. reads rs follows:
PETERSBURG, September 10, 1883.
"Dcar Sir.-Please send me as quickly
as you can list of the names OF such
Fumders lis YOU think are reasonably open
70 conviction, giving the post-oflice OF
each. Yours truly,
CIVILIAN MALONE, Cbairman.'
BY what means this circular fell into our
hands it Is no ones business. 1t is Ma
honeish all over, and il the followers OF
the Boss TO whom it is sent Judge all the
Funders by themselves, as reasonably
open 10 conviction" then every Democrat
| i'm the State will at once be put in commu-
nication with William Malone, chair
man."
REASONABLY open to conviction Is {
new way of stating the case. The true
English OF il is, Ii any white man is de
based enough TO sell his vote, William Ma
hone. chairman will bid for it,"
And vet there are a few white men even
in Norfolk who are willing to do Mahone'
dirty work, wear his collar, and are Away
reasonably open to conviction"

A Money-Making Memory.

George Harding, ESQ, the distin-
guished Philadelphia patent lawyer, is
remarkable for a ~retentive memory
On Saturday Mr.. Harding rode down
to Wall street, New York in a Broadway
omnibus. A beautiful young lady got in
and handed fifty cents to the attorney.
requesting him to please hand it to the
driver.
"With pleasure" said Mr.. Harding, at
the same time passing the fifty cents up
through the hole to the stage man.
The driver made the change and
handed forty cents back to Mr.. Harding,
who quietly put it away into his vest
pocket and went on reading a moving
machine brief.
Then all was silence.
The younglady beganto look nervously
at Mr.. Harding for her change. "Can
it be possible that this is one of those
polite confidence men we read of in
books" she thought to herself.
Then she looked up timidly and asked
Mr.. Harding something about the
Brooklyn Ferry.
ooh, the boats run very regular-ev-
cry three minutes" replied the inter-
rupted lawyer, trying to smile. Then
he went on reading his brief.
do the boats run from Wall street to
ASTORIA continued the young lady.
~ don't know, madame" replied Mr..
H, petulantly; I'm not a resident Ct
"Ah! ~yes"-dhen a silence).
Mr.. Harding again buried himself in
his brief, while the young lady ahemed,
and asked him what the fare was in the
New York stages.
why, ten cents, mad ame-ten cents"
"But ] gave you fifty cents to give to
the driver" interrupted the young lady,
"and-'
Didn't he return your change? Isl it
possible? Here driverr!' the lawyer
continued dropping the brief and pull
ing the strap violently, "whv the dick
ems don't you give the lady her forty
cents"
II did give her the change. I gave
your pocket" shouted back the driver.
"Tome % said Mr.. Harding. feeling in
his vest pocket, from which his fingers
brought out four-ten-cent pieces. ezra
cious goodness, madame! Ibeg 1000 par
dons; but-but-"
''Oh never mind,"' said The lady,ey
ing him suspiciously; ssvou know a lady
in a wicked city like New York has to
look out for herself. 1t is nc. .matter-it
wasn't the forty cents; bnt before I left
home mother cautioned me against po-
lite confidence men, who look SO good
outside, but"
Goodness gracious! my zeal woman!n
exclaimed Mr.. Harding, while all the
passengers eyed him with suspicion. 81
assure you"
But the stage stopped and the young
lady, holding fast to her portemonnaie,
got out and fled into the Custom House,
while Mr.. Harding went on filling up in
this form:
Goodness gracious! Did you ever?
0 Lordl what shall l do?" etc.
The lawyer got so excited that he went
back to Philadelphia in a hurry. He
even forgot to take a big fee in a now
pay $4,000 than to let the Philadelphia
fellows get hold ofthe story,-Philadel-

TEAR AND SMILE.

What are you2" said a tear,
To a smile playing near,
with a Pickering simmer,
You transiently glimmer
On the meaningless features of mirth;
But you nothing express
Ofthe anguish and stress
That make up mans portion on earth"
You are rather severe"
Said the smile to the tear.
For as day, to shine bright,
Needs a background OF night,
So grief must be bordered with gladness
And the light of a smile,
More than or-ce in a while,
Helps a tear to unbosom its sadness"

A PETRIFIED INDIAN.
d Amusing Prank Played on Some
E~ngiish,nen by the Late General

The Amusing Prank Played on Some
Engiish,nen by the Late General
Barnes.
From the Chicago News.
The death of Surgeon General Barnes
recalls an incident that took place q
good many years ago and attracted much
attention at the time. Shortly after he
was appointed assistant surgeon in the
army he was sent out, with several 9th
er embers of the medical corps, to
Kansas. at that time bowling wilder
ness. one day young lieutenant in
the camp received a letter from a friend
in the east, saying that u brace of Eng
lishmen had started for the far west
on q hunting expedition, and
might he expected at the fort by a cer-
tam time. Some one suggested
that, as Kansas was an unknown coun-
try, a hoax OF some kind would be emf
nently proper, and everything was kent
pretty quiet until the day before the
visitors We're expected, when the camp
rang with the news of a curious pheno-
menon. Two Of the officers, it was said.
becoming attracted by the representa-
tons of a friendly Indian, had followed
hltn to an out-ot-the-way place, about
ten miles from the fort, to shootbuffalo.
Here was located to all appearances. an
ordinary spring. The Indian was some
distance III advance. and going to the
spring dipped a cupful of water, He had
only taken n draught, when he utter
ed shrek: The officers rushed to his
assistance, but when they arrived st his
SIDE he was IN a state of complete petri-
fication.
When the Englishmen arrived at the
fort next day, they told this story.
They expressed some inaredulity at first
till the officers offered to guide them to
the spot. The following day an expedi-
ton was accordingly made. A petrifed
hgure being clad in a picturesque savage
costume, was found by the side Of
the spring. and everything was ten-
dered TO c~orroborate the story. One of
the Engllshmen appeared to have some
doubts as to whether such a phenomen-
on was within the bounds of possibility.
put the two surgeons who were present
bombarded him with such a volley of
scientific hypothesis, duly backed by
Jaw breaking physiological terms, that
he surrendered at discretion. The upshot
OF the matter was that the visitors con-
sidered the figure as a great discovery.
They begged it and had it boxed care
fully and transported at enormous ex-
pense to New York, together with sew
eral deEijohns Of the fatal water, intend
ing to ship the whole to England. In
the the English and American
papers were full Of the matter and the
greatest interest was manifested to have
the petrification examined by experts.
On arriyingi in New York the object
was investigated and the slightest exam
nation proved hat the material was
sandstone and the water ordinary spring
water. Barnes always denied that he
was concerned in any way in the hoax.
but his friends say now that he was too
modest to claim the credit for it.

1t may be remarked of the smallest
German courts that etiquette is studied

be regarded as a pleasant one: bat, by

The Poetry OF Emerson.

DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes delivered
an address before the Nineteenth Cen
tuary Club atNew York last week on
the poetry Of Emerson: The reader of
Emerson's early essay. Mature" will
see by what process he passed from
prose to poetry. lie does not make his
poet {who was himself, doubtless sing
in verse, but he puts into his mouth
that which he meant as the most COM
plete exposure Of his inner thought.
When it took the metrical form, it
was commonly one of the simplest.
Two of MIR. Emerson's poems which
stand in the foreground, "The Sphinx"
and "Brahma," have no doubt frightep-
ed Oft many readers from his poems.
DR.. Holmes took up these two poems
and showed how they were likely to
perpleX and perhaps discourage many
readers, who, if they had begun with
other poems of Emerson and kept these
to the last, MIGHT have become loyal
Emersonians. The difference between
his poetry and that OF others with whom
he might naturally be compared is that
Of algebra and arithmetic. The f~ascina-
ton Of his poems is in their spiritual
depth and sincerity and their all-perva-
ding symbolism. His writings in prose
and verse are worthy of all honor and
admiration, but his manhood was the
noblest of all his high endowments. A
bigot here and there might have avoid
ed meeting him, but if He who knew
what. was in men had wandered from
door to door in New England, as OF old
in Palestine, one of the thresholds
