When Blaine's carriage reached the reser-
vOir at Fifth avenue and 42d street, several
persons rushed to unharnes the horses and
themselves draw the Presidential candi-
objections to this, however, and the effort
was abandoned. Blaine entered the hotel
by the 23d street entrance and went at
once to his parlor. The apartments allot-
ted were those regularly occupied by Pres
ident Arthur An enormous crowd
gathered in front OF the hotel, and in re-
sponse to repeated calls Blaine stepped up
on the balcony and stood for several min
utes. He did not respond to the demands
for speech, but soon retired to his room
and the crowd dispersed.
Senator Miller had his pocket picked of
pOcket-book containing considerable
sum Of money during the scramble to reach

We're aught but flying, bright illusion.

Your amber locks to golden wire

That you should live for only me,

The PrOhibitiOnists.

Boston, September 17-The Prohibition
party of Boston pd vicinity had rally in
fremont Temple tonight. The meeting
was called to order by James r. Roberts,
who said that the report that President
Seelye declined the prohibition nomina-
tion for Governor was not true. He had
not declined and was heartily in sympathy
with the movement. Among the speakers
was Mr.. Daniels, the party nominee for
Vice President of the United States. He
asserts that there were more prohibition
lists among the Democrats of the South
than among the Republicans, and that
prohibition had really a stronger hold
in the Southern than in the Northern
States. He believed no issue would assert
so strong an influence in uniting the two
sections Of the country as the temperance
issue.

Poisoning the Potomac River with
Dead Hogs.

WASHINGTON, September 17.-Reports
have reached this city the past few days
that farmers of Virginia and Maryland
living along the Potomac river and the
Chesapeake & Ohio canal, whose hogs
died from cholera, which is raging in that
section, have been throwing their dead
hogs into the river and canal AS the
Potomac river is the sole source of water
supply for this city, the health officers felt
called upon to make an investigation, and
to-day DR.. Townshend went up the river
for that purpose. He returned tonight,
and says there has been but little exagger-
alton in the reports; that carcasses of hogs
in various stages of decomposition f1Oated
in the river and canal, or were lodged
among rocks along their banks, and that
canal boats from further up the river re-
ported that the stencil from purifying car
casses in the upper river and canal was
terrible. DIR. Townshend will have con-
ference with the District Commissioners
tomorrow in order to lay the matter be-
fore them and take steps to prevent fur
ther pollution of the city's drinking water

India Wheat Competition.

WASHINGTON, September 19.-The Sep
tember report of the department of agricul-
ture, Just our, devotes considerable space to
the subject of wheat in India. 1t says,
among other things: GAS regards freight
charges, we have substantial advantage
over India, not only in the comparative
proximity of our Atlantic ports to Eu-
ropean markets, but also in comparative
cheapness of our transportation by rail.
Reducing Indian weights and moneys to
American equivalent, the rates on wheat
by rail on the leading Indian railways in
March, 1888, was little less than one cent
q mile per ton, as against less than two
thirds cent on lines between Chicago and
New York. In other words, the average of
four Indian rates is fully fifty per cent.
higher than the rate ON American lines
between these two cities while the ad
vantage on the side of the United States is
very much greater still if Indian rates are
compared with our rates By lake and canal,
or even by lake and rail, the former being
little more than one-third of cent and
the latter less than one-half cent per ton
per milen

Union Pacific statement.

Boston, September 17-At the quarterly
meeting of the directors of the Union Pa
citic railroad this afternoon, president
Adams presented his report, of which the
following is a summary:
the Directors Of the Union Pacific Rail
road: In view OF the many unauthorized
statements which have been put forth in
regard to the financial outcome and opera
tiOns of the Union Pacific system during
the past year, it seems advisable at this
time to submit something authentic. |
have caused the following statement for
the year ending June 30th last to be pre-
pared. The period covered includes the
last half Of the company's fiscal year for
1883 and the first half of 1884. This period
was one general railroad depression, more
especially felt by the Union Pacific sys-
tenn, owing to the construction of compet-
ing roads and the prevalence of war rates.
The twelve months in question covered,
therefore, as unfavorable q period that the
Union Pacific is likely to pass through.
During this most exceptional period, after
paying every fixed charge, including the
requirements of the company's sinking
fund and all liabilities, the surplus income
of the system applicable to dividends,
amounted to 522 per cent. upon the.com-
pany's capital stock. Earnings, excluding
st. Joseph & Western, $26,957, ,484. Ex-
penses, excluding st. Joseph & Western,
$15,6S2, ,701. Taxes excluding st. Joseph
& Western, $822,552. Surplus earnings of
the entire system, S10,452,23 Income
from investments outside the system, $619,
617. Expenditures, S7,276,21S, which de-
Quoted from the surplus earnings and in
comes, leaves S3,795,628. Deduct U. S.
requirements, and add amount received
from trustees under Kansas Pacific cOnsoli-
dated mortgage on interest account, and a
balance of S3,179,7O4 applicable to divi-
dends remains. The fixed charges of the
Union Pacific system, including and esti-
mated allowance for taxes and payments to
the United States under the provision of
the Thurman act, amount to S793,000 per
month during July, therefore the latest for
which returns have been receixed. The
net income of the company over and above
all fixed charges, was at the rate or more
than twelve per cent. per annum on the
company's capital stock.

THE CHRISTOPHER.

He jumps so high in the sun and shad,
stop to see him pass
A gymnast of the glen and glade,
Whose circus is the grass
The sand is round him like a ring
lie has no wish TO halt
see the supple fellow spring
To make "A somersaultl
Though he is volatile and fat,
His feet are slim as pegs,
How can his reckless motion last
Upon such slender legs?
Below him lazy beetles creep;
lie gyrates round and round
one moment vaulting in leap,
The next upon the ground
lie hops amid the fallen twigs,
80 agile in his glee,
M sure he's danced hundred jigs
with no one near to see
ne lumbles up, he tumbles down
"A AND from his metley hue,
lis clear he is an insect clown,
beneath a tent of blue.

based upon any abstract theories, but upon
practical unity of interests

How a Young Bride Argued

A Young Brides Experiment Results
in Convincing Her Husband.


hold it to be truth constantly self
evident that every man viii defend a
woman against all men except himself.
If you haven't noticed it already, you
have only to look for it an hour or so in
any place of mixture of the sexes. Clap
your eyes on pretty woman without
male escort, and two phenomena will
become obvious. Firstly, there will be
a large amount of open and covert star
ing at her, to all of which her oblivious-
ness is, of course, only assumed.
Secondly, if one of the starers happens
to realize that others are at the same
game, he will manifest plainly his dis
gust at such treatment of an unprotect-
ed beauty, utterly ignoring his own Of
tense. A husband and wife got into
street car. The man was somewhat
dudish in dress The woman was under
twenty, and as pretty as nature and art
are in the habit of combining to pro-
duce. They vert chattering on the very
subject that l have here introduce.
"Percival, dear" said she, 81 will
prove to you that am right, and take
mise not to get angry about"
He closed the contract. Then she
drew herself up as though the husband
sitting beside her was an entire stranger,
and waited for the car to fill with pas
sengerS at Union square. g
"Now," she whispered behind her fan,
"observe how l am ogled when alone"
Within five minutes he saw that half
a dozen masculine passengers, from
hoary age to calloW youth, eyed his bride
with more or less audacity, and several
manifeStly would not have needed the
smallest beginning of wink on her part
to seize upon her then and there. That
part of the exhibition was triumph for
the wife, but the most curious feature of
her experiment remained to be tried.
"You certainly do seem to attract a
great deal of admiration" said the hus-
band, supposing the pretended strange
ness was at an end. She lifted her eye
brows in simulated surprise, as though
an impertinent fellow had unwarrantly
accOsted her, and .pointlK turned her
face away from him. He understood
her now and did not speak to her furtE g..
Next, she drew her shoulder away from
contact with his. By this time the spec
tators were believing that he was annoy
ing her dreadfully, and scornful chances
were aimed at him. A man arose from
the opposite side. "Will you exchange
seats with me?" he very calamity and
politely said, lifting his hat most defer
entially.
Now he had been foremost among the
original oglers-the yeriest simpleton of
them all.
"Thank you, SIR" she replied, "but
l prefer to sit beside my husband"
that vulture bird and the dove-mate
whom she had undertaken to instruct as
to the philosophy of male gallantry.-
