Der Of gentlemen at the Union League
Club.
"This club, numbering at the time of
my visit 1900 members, has a curious
history. In Anthony Trolope's North
America there was statement to the
effect that, while public political senti-
ment in New York was divided, in Phil
adelphia it was decidedly Southern.
This statement caused great offence. and
the Union League Club was instituted
as a proof of its incorrectness. While l
was in Philadelphia, General Meade, the
hero of Gettysburg, died amid universal
grief. He was buried at Laurel Hill
Cemetery, and the funeral was sings-
larly effective, as, in consequence of the
prevalence Of the horse disease, the body
was conveyed to the cemetery by water,
the funeral proc ssion taking place on
the river Schuylkill. At the entrance Of
the grounds the coffin passed under An
arch, formed by the raised crossed swords
OF the cavalry.
DICKENS AND THACKERAY.
There was no Intimacy, nor anything
like friendship, between the two men,
though an outward show of cordiality
had been maintained in public. Dick
ems had taken the chair at the dinner to
Thackeray in 1865, and had alluded to
the treasures of wit and wisdom within
the yellow covers Thackeray, in his
lectures on Weekday Preachers de-
elared that he thought Dickens WAS
specially commissioned by Divine be-
nevolence to delight mankind. But
Dickens read little, and thought less, of
| Thackeray's later work; and once, when
was speaking of the ruthless structures
OF the Saturday Recteu on Little Dor
ritz Thackeray, agreeing with ms in
the main, added, with that strange, half
| humorous, half serious look, though,

weeks ago man came to Olney, giving his
name as J. NJ. Meyer, claiming to be
washing machine agent. Last Monday he
hired horse and buggy, taking the ma
chine with him fourteen miles to the north
west of here. He sold the machine on trial
10 @. W. Gray for three dollars, taking
his note for the same. The note was at
forwards changed so as to read $500, and
was offered by Meyer to A. Morris for a
road scraper, he, Morris, to pay him a
cash difference On inquiry Morris ascer-
tanned that Gray was considered perfectly
good. and made the trade. He then effect
ed a trade with f. Laudenberger, a promi-
nent groceryman, for span of fine horses,
giving him the note for the horses. Mr.
Gray made his appearance in town to-
dav, and in answer to an inquiry
said he had given his note for only
three dollars. Hustling is a faint
description of I.audenberger's movements
for short time. He is making every effort
TO recover his team, which is in Lincoln,

ward OF $25 for Meyers arrest. He is about
thirty-two years Of age, black mustache
md hair, the latter considerably sprinkled
with gray; Ave feet seven inches high,
