A Campaign Secret Given Away.

In the campaign of 1884 the two can.
dIdates for governor in pivotal
Western State arranged for series OF
JOINT discussion. Both men were popu.
lar, Doth of fine appearance and were SO
well matched In mental force and as
orators that the contest between them
promised to be magnificent one. For
several weeks the scales balanced even
ly.
But one day the brilliant Republican
candidate came up ailing. He seemed
overcome and spoke laooredIy. The
next day he was even less effective.
Later he was compelled to ask his op-
ponent for a postponement Of certain
appointments, which was granted. Be-
fore the campaign ended he had aban-
doned the field altogether.
Meantime the Democratic candidate
continued his canvass, seeming to grow
stronger, cheerier and more effective
with each succeeding week. He was
elected. One evening in December
While entertaining several gentlemen he
said:

opening of my campaign I began caring
for my liver. I knew that a disordere

The Freak of an Actor,

Preville occupied about the same DO
sltion in public estimation in Fran &c
that David Garrick did in England.
but in no respect was he to be compar-
ed with the brilliant and versatile En-
glishman. When Garrick was in Paris.
II Preville on one occasion invited him to
his villa. Garrick just then happened
to be in gay and funny humor, and
suggested to his friend that they take
one of the regular Versailles coaches.
the villa in question lying in that di-
rection.
The twain speedily found an empty
coach and got in. upon which Preville
ordered the coachman to drive on. The
latter answered that he would do so as
soon as he should have got his compile
ment OF four passengers. He could not
afford to drive that distance for half
fare only.
A freak seized Garrick. Simply
changing the position of his hat, and
putting on the face of Ben Israel, he
slipped out of the coach on the far side,
and came round again as though he
had just come up.
''Ho! VerSailles?'
Eyes, sir. Get i'm
Garrick got in, and immediately got
out again as before. This time he sim
ply threw his hat back, exposing his
whole face, his only disguise being the
facial cOntortion.
Even PreVille was himself this time
deceived. As Garrick was about to en-
ter, having this time addressed the
coachman in the idiom of Bohemia,
PreVlllc put out his hand to keep him
back, at the same time eXclaiming:
mo, no; my friends are away for a
moment, but are
He had got thus far when Garrick's
face changed into a smile. An ex-
clamatlon of surprise burst from Pre-
ville's lips as his friend passed through;
but as the latter was again in the act
Of leaving the coach Preyille whispered
to him?
mo, no; we are full. We have the
four.
Let in no more, returned Garrick,
as he again passed out.
Directly afterward, while the driver
was gathering up his reins for start,
little hunchbacked Dutchman came
pulling up, wishing to 90 to Versailles.
Cant take yOu-all full, ;" was the
coachman's answer
Never mind, let him comet" cried
Preville. Wen make room for him
there! Now, away you go, and pull
up at my villa, mind. -
At PreYille's residence the coach was
stopped, and the two actors got out,
wondering what the poor driver would
say when he reached the end of his
journey and found that his other two
fares had vanished.
a few nights afterward, as Garrick
came upon the stage in one of his ia
vorite characters, a voice was heard in
the pit-a voice as of one upon whom
a great light had suddenly burst:
'Ah, my third passenger! Ohio!

1t was that of the Versailles coach

running along one night in Ohio some
years ago. 1t was q blowy, rainy,

in the oldest way you ever saw. You
couldn't guess it in week. A farmer
was walking along the track, when he
discovered a short bridge so badly
washed out by the freshet that to run
upon it with q train meant aWreck. He
tried to start fire with paper and his
clothing but couldn't do it. He had
one match left. He kept that until 1

strike that match, hold it in his hat,
and wave it across the track as he had
seen the brakemen do when they want
ed to signal stop. 1t was his hope that

blown out. He no sooner struck the
match than out went the blaze. It
