Rldi1g Over ROad That Was Likely to Rise Any Minute. From the Philadelphia Times Lewis E. Dawson, the big policeman who stands at Eighth and Arch streets, claims the honor of having taken General Mcclellan safely through, or rather over, one of the greatest dangers of his life. ''It was the time the rebels evacuated Yorktown" said the policeman. ''before the seven days fight in the Peninsula I was then driving Me Clellau's private ambulance, 8 sort of Ger | lnanto"n ~ag Il. that he had had fitted up tor hls Sn us- 1t would carry four per sous conf. r-abIy, and I had team of four sPlendii h 'rsss tO draw it.

It was about foot deei,. l reckon, when started on Monday morning from AIcClellan's head quarters, four miles out, to drive to York town. There were four officers ill the ambta- lance-Generhl Mcclellan, Colonel Coiborn, his chief of staff: General Franklin and General Fitz John Porter It was still rain
 
 We got along all right till we came to the trance to the Yorktown Notifications, and there, right in the narrowest part of the way, was an ammunition wagon broken down in the mud, and beside 1t 8 stick planted in the mud, with little red flag hanging from it. I knew what it was soon as I saw 1t the rain had washed the dirt of one of them bloody torpedoes, and the soldiers had found it and marked it; you bet they wasn't going to dig it up without positive orders.
 ''Well, I stopped my team and General Mcclellan stuck his head through the curtains and looked about him. There were some soldiers standing around and among them was lieutenant. Mcclellan called him up and said:
 "sDon't let our men take up any of these torpedoes. Make the prisoners do it..
 ''Then he looked at the wagon and asked me: Do you think you can get past?'
 "'Yes,' said. T guess I can, if strad- dle that torpedo
 Jewell, said he, 'go ahead. expect we'll all be blown to thunder together Those were the very words he used. So I threw my long whip down between the horses to keep them apart as far as possible and drove ahead, and we got into Yorktown without touching the torpedo"
 And what did Mcclellan say then2"
 "He never said word When we got into Yorktown he left the ambulance and went in.o house, and presently he sent an orderly out to tell me to go back to head than I received orders to turn around re- turn to Yorktown, and follow the army, so had to drive over that blamed torpedo three times I got kinder used to it at last and was ready to bet that I could do it every time"

Last year Clerk McKenney, of the United States Supreme court, made from his office the neat little sum of $29, 496, and for several years past his receipts have been over $20,- ooo year. The justices receive but ten thousand year. It is probable that here after the clerks office will not be so 'sfat," for the members of the House committee who are investigating the matter are said to be determined to change the administration of the office so that it will be a salaried one and the surplus be turned into the treasury

 A Virginia preacher, who bought his but ter from his brother Paul, sent for fresh supply for his Sunday dinner and was in the midst of his sermon when his negro servant returned and took his seat in the church. The preacher had eloquently related what Matthew, Mark, Luke and John had said in relation to the subject matter of his text, and he then said, in laundering tones 'tAnd what does Paul say!" The negro thinking the question addressed to him replied, in the hearing of the whole congregation: ''Marse Paul says as how you can't get any more butter til you've paid for dat you got last week.''
 TRAIN BOY.
 How doth the little busy boy
 Improve each travelling hour;
 And gather money from the train,
 With all his skill and power.
 How cunningy he makes his cell.
 How innocent he looks;
 Aud chins the grasger-oh, how well,
 And sells him figs and books.
 Who taught the busy boy to chin,
 And run upon the road?
 When and where did he first begin
 His peanuts to unload?
 An me, it seems he ways knew;
 Ere yet the lad was born,
 The newsboy instinct in him grew
 To toot his little horn.
 So, though his books be out of mind,
 His oranges be old,
 Before the day has far declined,
 His little stock is sold.

Next week the Republican National com mittee will meet to adopt plan of repre- sentation for the next convention. The subcommittee charged with the duty of re porting plan of representation is said now to be substantially agreed upon one which gives four delegates at large to each State and two to each congressional district, with three delegates at large for each Republican senator and three district delegates for each Republican member of the house. It is pre- posed that the delegates at large shall be chosen at State convention called not more than six weeks and not less than month before the national convention, and on not less than fifteen days notice If the dis trict delegates have not been chosen by con- ventions in their districts before the meet ing of the State convention, the delegates to the latter convention from the several dis tricts shall choose their district delegates to the national convention. Two delegates will also be chosen by each territory and the District of Columbia. If this plan should be adopted, the next convention would have l, 294 members, or 53s moro than the Chica- go convention.

REPUBLICAN POLICY OUTLINED.

Tie New York Tribune has been address
ing inquiries to the leading members OF the
next Congress, with n view TO asccrtaining
rs definitely as possible the general position
Of both parties with respect to the leading
questions which arc to come before the next
House. The replies to these inquiries indi-
cate, in the maiu, pretty definite and con-
lstent party policy on the part of the Re
publcans. There may be differences OF
opinion on minor points, but all the Repub-
lican leaders seem to be pretty well agreed
on the leading matters at issue.
With regard to the tariff, the policy OF the
party bids fair to be one of non-interference.
There seems to be general conviction that
the country has had about all the tariff leg
islAtion that is desirable, for the present.
Says Representative Hiscock of New York

Jefferson p. Kidder was born in 1916 at
Brai ntree, VT, where he received a common
sch Dol education: was trained TO agricul-
tural pursuits, and taught school. He pre-
pared for college at the Orange county gram
mar school graduated at the Norwich uni
versity and WAS a tutor therein. He re-
ceived, in 1913, the degree Of master of arts
from the University Of Vermont; studied
and practised law; was member of the
State constitutional convention OF Vermont
in 1913 was States attorney in 1912 Al
was a member OF the State Senate of Yer
mont in 1S47 IS; was lieutenant governor
of Vermont in 1858 81; removed to ST.
Paul, Mimi. in 1857; was elected
provisional delegate from Dakota Ter
rtory while visiting there in 1859;
was a member of the Minnesota House
of Representatives in 1861, 1868 and
1864 was appointed in 1865 an associate
Justice OF the supreme court for Dakota Ter
rtory, and removed there was reapponted
in 1869, and again in 1873 and resigned af-
ter having discharged the duties OF that Of
fee for ten years; and was elected to the
Forty-fourth congress as Republican, re-
ceiving majority of 240S votes over Moses
X. Armstrong; Democrat.
Mrs. Kidder died two years ago and was
buried in Oakland cemetery, st. Paul But
one child u soma farmer at Nermillion-is
now living. He IS married and has three
children. Judge Kidder was a Mason and
will be buried under the auspices OF the Ma
sonic fraternity. He was in good circum-
stances, being worth at the time OF his death
probably $4,000. Judge kidder was the
iirst delegate in congress to move for divi-
sion of Dakota Territory by an east and west
line along the forty-sixth parallel. lie was
well known in st. Paul, which he practically
regarded as his home from 1857 to 1865.
His death is looked upon as a personal be-
reavement by large part of the people of
Southern Dakota, where he had lived for
eighteen years, universally respected as a
man and an official. Either personally or
upon the bench he was most genial and ap-
proachable, and had the faculty OF expedi-
ling the business of his court without uncom-
fortaby urging either attorneys or Off GERS.
Even upon the bench he frequently INDUCED
in ocular remarks, causing general laugh,
anu these, he would say, relieved the tedium
and kept the machinery OF justice oiled.
deceased was man Of very cordial social
Qualities, aud in every town in his district
was an attendant upon such gatherings as &C.
Cured during his soiouin, it being nothing
to see him join very gracefully In
uuadrilles, or to hear his voice in chorus.
About il all there was an appropriate air
which did not detract from his dignity as
Judge, however much 1t might add to his
social popularity.

Schuchardt was very wealthy and had

for The crime. The defence pleaded insanity.
Schnelle created a sensation by going on the
stand and giving dramatic recital OF his
crime and his motives. He said Sehuchardt
ruined his mother and then refused to own
him as his son. He attempted to get Schu-
chardt 10 sign an acknowledgment OF his
paternity and, failing, was resolved Cd, to com.
nit suicide. He had promised his mother
TO revenge her wrong by killing the doctor,

Let Senator Edmunds Reconsider.


The attention OF the whole country will be
drawn TO the Episcopal Convention at Philadel-
phia by the words spoken there yesterday by Sem
ator Eimunds. lie Is reported 10 have said, in
declining a nomination for the presidency OF the
convention that he was not IA candidate for Pres-
dent for THIS Or any other place at this or any other
time." This 1871 very important utterance. We
hope that hat seps , rnnnas n.s been ms.spv,!sa
tion.-New York Times.
The Graphic hopes so, too. The country
has not purer or an ADLER man than Senator
Edmunds, and when he was called to the
presidency of the Senate ii was felt that in
case OF the death or disability of President
Arthur the government would be in safe
hands. His election as president pro tenn
was received with the profoundcst gratifca-
ton the country through, and there is no
good citizen who will not regret his indisposi-
ton TO go higher.
1t is to be earnestly hoped that both par
ties Will send to the front their very best
men next year. There should be good men
as the candidates not only for President but
for the second place; We have learned the
necessity OF providing properly for both. The
days q the available man, the geographical
individual, the person to properly balance
the ticket, ought to have gone by. and the
mere trading politician ought not to 20 on
the ticket or have to do with the making of
it. Senator Edmunds would be by all odds
the best man to lead the Republicans, and as
a good citizen he could not refuse the honor
If 1t were rendered him. If it were
known that he would be the Re-
publican nominee the Democrats would
also put forward their best man as their
standard-bearer, and there would be can
vass Ct which every citizen would be proud,
and result, whichever ticket might be
chosen, which would ensure better quality
OF government than We have been used to Of
late years.
We hope there Is reason to believe that
Senator Edmunds is willing to continue to
serve the country, and that he will take
whatever high place his party or the people
choose to give him. There are not so many
men Of his purity and ability that one OF
them can be easily spared. Who is there of
his long and good service that is unspotied,
Is he isp Who better deserves to be Prcsi
dent than Senator Edmunds?
