in that direction and proceeding few
hundred yards, she came in sight of the
very house she had sought so vainly the
night before. It was too provoking to
think her having been within such easy
reach of shelter and safety and to have
missed it as she did. The cause, too,
was apparent enough now when she
looked back to her starting point. In
stead of moving in the direction indica-
ted, she had been all that time travelling
in circle and going over the same
ground.
She was soon made welcome to her
neighbours house, aud had sympathetic
listeners to her story of "hairbreadth
'scapes." All possible aid and comfort
was afforded her. One of the boys car.
ried her across the river in small boat,
and conveyed her bag of provisions
from thence to the house for her. There
how she was welcomed and made much
of and pitied how that precious sack
was onened and part of its contents con.
verteu into savory dinner, such as had
not cheered them for weeks; how Job
was released from durance by his little
mistress, who had previously hidden him
in the cellar for safety, it ls not my part
to tell. But 1 must relate the fact that
old Bet survived that journey, and as
soon as she felt strong enough for the
undertaking left Mrs. Harris's protec.
tion and struck out for home. There she

anty before the door, and was received
with joyful acclamations by the whole
family, and another straw bed was empt'
led for her delectation.
Little Nellie's devotion to her swinish
protege brought its own reward. Events
proved that there had been mistake in
the christening of the animal. Instead
of "Job" it should have been "Tabitha,"
or Elizabeth" or Deborah" This
fact received confirmation when, as time
passed, she presented her mistress with
q number of infantile copies of herself.
These grew and fourished wonderfully
to pig, rnd furnished the small family
not only with bacon, lard and spare ribs
the next season, but enough was sold of
their flesh to supply many a deficiency
in other necessaries of life. "Mrs. Job"

dants. Even when peace was declared
and the sons of the house returned to
their "own vine and fgtree," the broken
fortunes of the family rendered such
addition to their means of subsistence
very necessary.
The writer remembers attending an
entertainment in honor of the returned
soldiers after the close of the war and
meeting with Miss Nellie clad in q very
becoming "store.bought" dress with ac.
compapying ribbons, and a pair of fine
cloth boots upon her feet. Remarking
upon the unwanted resplendence of this
attire, she asked the young lady if she
had received, as was very common then,
q box from some friends residing in the
North. "Oh no." she replied. "Job got
these for me. At least, the last lot of
pigs I sold brought the money for them.
And, more than this, only think, I sent
on and bought mother some real store
tea and coffee too"

In all these days Of death "Job" never
failed in his portion; his little mistress
faithfully divided her rations with him,
and he grew and fattened as only such an
admired animal could. Indeed, he be.
came quite an important member of the
family, following his owner from room to
room like dog, and seeming to realize
his dignity as one of the only two four
footed beasts remaining on the place.
The other quadruped was superannuat-
ed horse, blind in one eye, and so clearly
unfit for the commonest duties that the
Yankees had not thought "Old Bet"
worth killing. They little guessed the
abilities buried in that old skeleton.
On one occasion some Federal officers
stopped at the house, and seeing the pi.
ano in the unused parlor, requested one
of the young ladies to play. She com.
piled, sorely against her will, but afraid
to refuse. Her little sister, attracted by
the unwonted sound Of music, stole into
the room to listen. Everywhere his
mistress went," Job, like the much paro-
died lamb, "was sure to CO." So in he
walked, grunting his appreciation of the
performance and gazing with placid
curiosity at the officers. These latter,
surprised and shocked at such an addi.
ton to their audience, expressed their
unreserved opinions of the same. The
little girl, indignant at this reflection
upon her protege, stepped to the front
with flashing eyes. exclaiming:

three sorry wrecks of horsefesh, similar
to those we've described, were fastened
near the commissary quarters, with these
exceptions, the applicants we're all afoot.
AS our two friends rode into view they
were greeted with laughter and jeers by
the young orderlies and privates lounging
around.
"Halloo, sis |" cried one, as the swollen
foot of Mrs. SIS horse caught his eye.
"Halloo, sis you've been living so high
at your house that your horse has got the
gout-you can't want any rations."
"No no !" cried his comrade, They've

of the poor ay.bitten animals back, and

The story referred to by the Sunday
Neus correspondent is evidently that
which was contained in Cleveland,
Ohio, dispatch to the Chicago Ne,us, and
published on the 18th inst. In substance
it is as follows:
The Rev. George b. Ball, pastor of the
Hudson street Baptist Church, of Buffa.
10, writing to the Rev. D. 81. Muller, D.
D., pastor of the Scoville avenue Metho-
dist Episcopal Church of this city, dis.
cusses the alleged licentiousDess and
immortality of Grover Cleveland. DR..
Muller was for several years member of
the Methodist Episcopal Conference in
Western New York, was for eleven years
pastor in Buffalo, is an honorary MEM
Der of the Ministers Association of that
city, and is personally acquainted with
DR.. Ball. DR.. Muller says he was desir.
Gus, as Christian minister, to obtain a
concise statement of the case that could
be depended upon, and in that spirit
wrote to DR.. Ball, and yesterday received
an answer in which the doctor says:
"Grover Cleveland was little known in
Buffalo till he was nominated for mayor.
He averaged fairly as lawyer; many
years ago he served as sheriff; he lived
secluded from general society; he was
brought before the public by accident;
his private morals were presumed to be
correct. Before his nomination for the
Presidency his deeds of darkness began
to come to light. The Rochester Union,
Boston Globe and other newspapers ad-
vertiscd his unchastity. Prominent
Democrats in Buffalo confirmed the bad
reports, and physicians, police officers,
detectives and other citizens whose pro.
fessional duties or business relations made
them cognizant of the facts related them
privately to some of our pastors. The
shocking disclosures were discussed at the
ministers meeting. Letters were written
by several of the pastors to editors of
Christian journals to put them on their
guard. Investigations disclosed still
more proof of debaucheries too horrible
to relate and too vile to be readily be-
lieved. For many years days devoted to
business have been followed by nights of
sin. He had lived bachelor, bad no
home, and avoided the restraints even of
hotel or boarding. house life. The Halpin
case was not solitary. Women now
married and anxious TO cover the sins OF
their youth have been his victims, and
are now alarmed lest their relations to
him shall be exposed. Some disgraced
and broken. hearted victims of his lust
now slumber in the grave. Abundant
rumors implicate him at Albany. Well
authenticated facts convict him in Buffa-
10. His repeated visits to this city have
been preceded with one or two exceptions
by the appearance of veiled female at
the foot of the stairs leading to his rooms.
She has entered his rooms, set things in
order, remained with him while he re.
mained, and departed when he returned

An Outrage OIL Decency.
Dispatch to the Sunday Ne,ps.

New YORK, September 20.-A wild
attempt was made to-day to explode
new scandal against Cleveland, in answer,
perhaps, to the second batch of Mulligan
letters All the papers have received
slips giving the result of the Rev. Mr..
Balls latest investigations. According
to these new tales it seems that whenever
MIR. Cleveland visits Buffalo a mysterious
yelled woman appears and takes up her
quarters near him. This is the sum and
substance of the accusation. Wherever
the story has been told to-day it has been
met with contemptuous ridicule. The
Rev. Mr.. Ball must try again.

uously. absent from the Blaine camp

Facts became public yesterday which
indicate that the Republicans were only
prevented from electing their whole city
ticket IN Milwaukee on Tuesday by q
sharp trick It seems that large mum
Der of tickets printed in imitation of the
straight Republican tickets, but having
the names of one or more of the Demo
cratic candidates upon them, were snug
gled into the Republican headquarters,
and thence distributed without being dis
covered to the Republican ticket redders.
They are said to have been sandwitched
into packages at the top and bottom of
which were straight tickets. All ofthem
bore Mr.. NVallber's name at the head,
but contained the name Of Mr. Ku hn
for comptroller, or Mr.. Maywurm for
treasurer, or Mr.. Somers for city attorney,
in the place of the Republican candidates
Many of these were handed out to Re-
publican voters by Republicans at the
POLLS before the fraud was noticed, and
bv their means Messrs. Ellsworth and
DUR were doubtless defeated and Mr..
Luscombe's majority reduced below 100.
