to-day:
"They rather sneer at Hendricks in Washing
ton and think he doesn't amount to much. We
will show Mr. Cleveland that he amounts to a
great deal While the reform President is tear
ing himself and his party to pieces at home, the
spoils Vicepresident will be nursing the party and
building himself up abroad. He will be Toasted,
and the papers will be full of it. From the ma
ture of his trip all the nations will be friendly
and Favorable. He will be constantly before the
public in good light Mr.. Cleveland, on the
other hand. will be undergoing the scalping pro-
cess at the hands of a thousand newspapers and

The lightning Ticket Seller.

Barnum used to carry round with
him his famous Lightning Changer, F."
an individual whose mechanism was a
side-show in itself. The man sold the
iifty-Gent admission tickets. Ho would
receive the coin, make change and de-
liver the tickets to half dozen persons
at time. The rapidity of his hands
was so great that their movements
could not be analysed. 1t seemed to
the dazed observer as il he did nothing,
but mako continual ''scooping"
movement of the money into the wagon
behind him; but with all his swiftness
he never made an error in change.
The struggling, Sighting crowds would
swarm about him, thrusting in their
halves and fending off the press about
them. Men would cling so tightly to
coin that he would have to bring his
fist down "bang" upon the fingers to
wrench it out.
There Is story related of him that
man once showed in pile of pennies
to him for ticket.
"You don't come that" said the
Lightning Changer" glancing at the
pile and showering out tickets to other
hands.
"Tako that away, will youp" shout
cd the changer sending the pile in o
scattered shower among the crowds;
there's only forty-nino cents in that
pilep-Iagfeside.
