A NEW STORY OF THURLOW WEED

The late Thurlow Weed, who was some- times called '.The Priam of the Press" be. cause he was the father of SO many news- papers, once told me an interesting incl dent of his life which has been inadvertent- ly omitted from his memoirs. It was dur ing the war of 1872, when he was living Tn Cooperstown, N. Y., the home of the yet unfiedged novelist, aud was setting type as a journeyman printer. 1T was nineteen years old and fel in love with Catherine Ostrander, my landlaly's daughter, two years younger than was. Her folks ob- jected, very properly, to her marrying a strolllng printer, without money or any 1 thing else, and agreed to wait.
 About this time got into bad scrape. l, with three other young fellows, who were rather hard lot, was arrested on complaint of four girls whom we met at 8 prayer meeting. 1 had never seen them l before, but We walked home with them, aud they made charge of improper con duct against us all. The others got bail, but l had DO rich relatives, and prepared 1 to go to jail. At the examination l told the justice that had no lawyer and no money to pay one, when to nay great sur- prise leading attorney of the town, whom 1 had never spoken with and did not know, stepped forward and gave bail for me and offered to defend me. It was Ambrose l..

Mrs. Hannah Moore. celebrated writ,

Mrs. Hannah Moore, a celebrated writer, who died about fifty years ago, had good way of managing tale bearers. It is said that when she was told anything deroga- tory of another, her invariable reply was, oCome, we will go and ask if it be true. 7 The effect was sometimes ludicrously pail,- ful. The tale-bearer was taken xback, stammered out a qualification, or begged that no notice be taken of the statement, but the good lady was memorable of she took the scandal-monger to the scandalized, to make inquiry and compare accounts. It Is not likely that anybody ever second time ventnred to repeat g gossipy story to Hannah Moore. One would think her method of treatment would be sure cure for scandal.

 PERMISSION FROM THE OFFICE.n

An amusing incident, too good to be ] lost. occurred at the Nicollet a day or two since.

Arriving i on the evening train. the turtle doves took rooms at the Nicoilet. Before making his toilet the next morning, the young hus- bands eye rested upon the rules and reg ulationa" tackled upon the door, and for 1 the purpose of posting himself lii the re- ouirements of hotel life, he proceeded to read them.
 Judge of his surprise, when, after care full study, he learned that washing ln rooms is prohibited, except permission Is obtained at the office P Upon the oppo- site side of the room were Waah-bowl, pitcher, towels, and all the necessares for performing the usual ablutlons, but De- fore his face and eyes was the rule pro hibiting washing in the rooms! '" What was to be done? Bride and groom were at loss to know. They certainly could not think of going to breakfast without washing, and 1t was rather inconvenlent to go to the river for that purpose. As he reflected upon the awkwardness of the sit uation, he became impressed with the id d tlht SoiucCuluB muSG Dc uOue, atlIu Ie1ucLu- bering the solemn promise made to the justice of the peace, who, for the trihing sum of seventy-five cents, united them in the holy bands of malrimony the day pre- vious he determined to rise up in his strength and represent the case ill proper terms tat the office" He did so. Ap- preaching the desk, he b. ckoned to the clerk. "Look a here P said he, "that 'ere kaird that's stuck on the door says that nobody can't wash into the room Tess you let 'em. Now, couldn't you let me and Jane Ann wash our face and hands ! there this mornin' There's wash things and towels right in the room, and wish you would let Us use 'em I'd be much obliged to you if you would"

yellow fever and cholera, and the neglect

mucilage was so recently economically

Board of Health met in this city, and the
Governor, being present, stated that the
failure of the Legislature to pass the
measure referred to had left him powerless
to aid the Beard. and though yellow fever

against Its ingress into California. The
whole matter of the action of the San

Legislature, to say nothing of its criminal
neglect, places the State in a strangely hui
