The time was 10 o'clock at night and thu
glare of the electric lights brought out il
strong relief the tear-stained face of dt
minutive urchin who leaned YEARLY agains
the dOOr-pOst of a Chestnut street store, with
bundle of papers under his arm, sObbing
bitterly. Several patches his not overly
clean face spoke elOquently of mysterious
beatings at the hands of cruel task-masters,
A benevOlent-lOOfing, elderly woman, at

and regarded him over her spectacles.

kindly.
The urchin rubbed his eyes vigorousE
with his doubled fist and howled dismally.

hand on his shoulder, ''what is the matter?'

Here is so cents. l don't want ant

Thank you, ma'am. God bless youp'
cried the urchin, checking his sobs, and his
dirty fingers closed over the silver piece.
The benevolent old lady patted him on
the head and continued down the street
with self-satisfed smile illuminating her
mOtherly old face. When she turned the
corner the boy in the doorway whistled
softly. A tiny form dashed out of an op-
posite doorway and darted across the street.

newcomer, breathlessly.

a VERSATILE JUDGE.

A good deal of guessing has been done as
to who was the unfit judge that President
CLEVELAND was deceived into appointing.
A statement has been going the rounds of
the press that the new judicial appointee in
Wyoming was the man, and that Senator
CoCKRELL was the gentleman 10 whom the
presidents famous letter was addressed.
More recently gueSsers have settled down to
the conclusion that the man appointed
TO the Alaska bench is the individ-
ual who is ''morally and profession
ally unfit" for a judicial appointment. lie
is an Oregon man. and a Portland dispatch
says that he has tried his hand variously at
preaching, practicng medicine. following
the law. banking and whatever came handy,
without being successful at any. He was
Observation-Disclosures sort OF fellow.
without being master of any So
far as his knowledge OF law, or
the lack of it goes, it doesn't
make so much difference. Alaska is field
which does not present extraordinary adj
vantages for the display of legal knowledge
or judicial qualities. If Mr.. DAUNE has
good preaching talent he is Just the man

denominations are mourning a good deal of
expense endeavoring 10 establish missions
for the conversion Of the Alaskan Indians
and with very poor results. If the gov
eminent sends n judge TO the territory who
can preach and invests him with the
power TO enforce his doctrine at the point
of the bayOnet the natives will have to ex-
ppripnce n change of heart The urpSident
seems to be in trouble all around about his
Alaskan appointments. The commission
of the new district attorney for the terri
tory has been withheld, because somebody
has challenged his political record. The
appointee is Virginian who strayed after
false gods at the time MoSBY went over TO
the Republicans. If it is the policy of the
government to convert the AlaSkans To
Christianity they ought to be baptized into
the Democratic church.

ASsessiny DistiIIerS.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The internal
revenue bureau is preparing schedule of
taxes to be assessed against the Great
Western, Manhattan, WOOlners, and other
distillers of Peoria, H., on account of the
excess Of spirits over the guage measure
found in recent shipments made by them to
Philadelphia, New York and Baltimore.
The assessments will be forwarded to the
collector at Peoria for collection. The
taxes will undoubtedly be paid according 10
an understanding had when the spirits
which had been seized for examination
were released. 1t is stated. however, that
the payment will be made under protest and
that the diStillers VIII take legal steps to re-
cover the money. The claim for remittance
of the tax will, it is said. be based on the
ground that the spirits IN dispute We're
gagged twice by the gauging rod in the only
manner recognized by law. and duly certi
fed BY the proper officers Of that govern
ment and that the action of the commits
siOner in causing subsequent examination
by cup measure was unauthorized by law
and not binding on the distilleTs.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The story
coming from New York about an alleged
rupture between the administration and
Mr.. Tilden is much talked about in the city
to-day. There is no one here who can
speak authOritatively on the subject, and the
story is not generally believed. The opinion
is expressed in official circles that however
displeased Mr.. Tiden might be
with the New York appointments
lie would not make war upon the
administration and certainly would not
Snub Secretary Manning. There is some
doubt of Tilden's having named anybody
for the cOllectOrShip and surveyOrShip of
New York, but if he is disappointed in the
appointments made there are many more
important things that would tend to bring
him close to the administration. The gen
eral policy of retrenchment and reform is
in accordance with his views and the posi-
ton of the treasury upon financial queS-

Piled high, the sheaves OF golden grain
Wait for the thresher's hand.
Wide. billowy fields OF corn uplift
Their banners broad and green,
With plenty's promises craven bright

The leafy vine bends low with weight

The hurdened orchards bear.

POTTsTowN, Pa, Aug. 22.-Misses Lucy
and Patience HodgsOn. daughters of Robert
II. HodgsOn, a farmer residing near New
London, Chester county, had terrible ex-
perience with maniac who got in their
bedroom during last night The young
ladies retired early, leaving open their bed
room window. The night air was cool,
and the two girls were in the sweet land o.
dreams. Toward midnight Lucy HodgsOn
suddenly awOke, and a strange feeling
possessed her that some one was in the
room. AS soon as her eye became ac
cuStomed to the darkness she saw
strange creature, whether man or beast
she knew not, crouch on all tours in front
of the bed. Being girl of courage she
determined to wait and see. She simulated
sleep and the creature arose on his feet Ut
tering unearthly sounds, pinched her in the
limbs and tore the bedclothes from off both
the girls. They behold in their visitor
strong, powerful, active and crazy man
named William Pearce, a maniac in the
family of a neighbOr. who had no doubt
escaped from his keeper during the night
and made his way to the young ladies
sleeping apartment by way of the open
window. The young ladies, now thor
Oughly frightened, jumped out of the bed
which was standing near the middle of the
room. The maniac, his eyes all aglow
with an unnatural fire. darted after them,
while they screamed for help. Round and
round the room they ran, the maniac aftel
them, sometimes catching them, when they
again tore loose from him. Their father,
alarmed by this time, burst in the door and
appeared with light. The maniac then
attacked him, and a desperate struggle en-
sued. Mr.. HOdgSon was borne under by
the superior strength of his visitor, and re-
celved no slight punishment, when some
nelghborS. aroused by this time, put in an
appearance and helped to secure the ma
MAC. 1t required no less than three or four
men to tie him with ropes. The young la
dies room was turned topsy turvy, carpets
being torn up and furniture lying about in
great confusion. The maniac was taken to
the county hospital, where he was put in
an irOnclad room.

An Indiana newspaper wants the code OF
that state amended so as TO authorize county
treasurers to loan the surplus in the county
treasury TO farmers or merchants, who are
now compelled TO pay per cent. interest to
the banks. At present the treasurer deposits
the surplus in bank, and the bank lends IL
out and collects the interest, probably giving
the treasurer dividend OF the same. II
might be wise TO provide that the county, in
stead of the treasurer, should receive the
interest on its surplus, but it is doubtful
whether il would be wise TO have the whole
