A Secondhand Carriage.

President Arthur has good carriages,
and his turnouts will compare fayorably
with any Of his predecessors, says
Washington letter. a look at the one
he rode in yesterday recalled story
they tell of John Tyler, who, it will be
remembered, got to the White House
through the death of President elected
by the people. Tyler was very fond of
fine turnout, but his pocket was not
deep enough to correspond with hi
tastes. One day one of the leading mem
bers of the diplomatic circle was recalled
from Washington, and his magniicel4t
establishment had to be sold. An i'm
portant part of this was his carriage,
which was at the time the finest by al
odds IN Washington. Tyler had looked
at 1t many times with longing eyes as il
owner had driven up and down Penns4.-
yanla avenue, and as it had stood now
and then In front of the White House.
He feared, however, the criticism which
was sure to attend the buying of any.
thing by the President at auction, and
called his coachman, with whom he was
familiar, to advise with him in regard to
It. The ccachman liked the carriage.
and was anxious that Mr. Tyler should
buy it. But Pat, said Tyler, what
will the world say at the Presidents
riding IN secondhand carriage?"
Och ! your honor, they Will say
nothing at ALL at all. You know YOU

bought the carriage or not the report

Of the case, they obtained from her a
promise that if he showed no signs Of
life before they again came round, she
would make no further opposition to
the removal. Having gained this res
pite, she hung the watche up on the
bed-post, and renewed her efforts with
redoubled zeal. She placed kegs of
hot water about him, forced brandy
between his teeth, brcathed into his
nostrils, and held hartshorn to his
nose, but still the body lay motionless
and cold. She looked anxiously at
the watch; in five minutes the promis-
ed half-hour would expire, and those
dreadful voices would be heard, pass
ing through the streets. Hopeless
ness came over her; she dropped the
head she had been sustaining; her hand
trembled violently; and the hartshorn
she had been holding was spilled on
the pallid face. Accidently the posi-
ton of the head had become slightly |
tipped backward, and the powerful
liquid flowed into his nostrils. Instant |
ly there was short, quick gasp,
his eyes opened, and when
the deathmen came again they found
him sitting up in the bed. He lived

unusually good health.-Erchange.
