FOUR STORIES ABOUT SENATORS.

FOUR STORIES ABOUT SENATOR'S
Bayard's Terrapin--Logan and Pugh--
Hoar as OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES mt
che Theatre.
Senator Bayard is famous among the cpl.
cures of the national capital for his skill in
preparing terrapin for the table. The Sena-
tor always goes into the kitchen and pre-
pares the terrapin with his own hands for
his invited guests. He has the knaok Of
imparting peculiar delicacy and flavor to
the dish which none of the professional
cooks can initiate. He favors it so as to
render the dish more than usually entrance
ing to the palate. Have you never eaten
Bayard's terrapin ?" recently asked one gen.
Aeman noted as eonnoisseur in all that
pertains to good living, ofanother who lives
chiefly to eat and drink. :" You never
did?' continued the first. Then you real.
ly don't know what terrapin is" The gen.
tleman who received this bit OF information
will never rest until he gets his feet under
Senator Bayards mahogany.
Senator Pugh, of Alabama, served in the
same Congress with Senator Logan just
prior to the outbreak of the rebellion. They
were then members of the same political
party, and were personal friends. Near the
close of the war, when the Union s..diers
went through Alabama, detachment of
Wilson's cavalry approached the residence
of Senator Pugh in Eufaula. When they
saw the troops approaching, Mr.. Pugh, who
had been in the Confederate army and in
the Confederate Congress, after having
served in the Congress OF the United
States, expected to be roughly handled. He
walked out to the front yard, and when the
detachment drew up to his gate he said TO
them. There's the house; go in and
take possession" The officer in command
inquired " Is your name James L. Pugh ~
That is my name, sir" responded the
Senator, supposing that the Unionists mere
ly wanted to identify him in order to make
him suffer the more. Here are my orders
respecting you, sir" said the officer, ex.
tending paper. Mr.. Pugh unfolded the
paper, expecting TO read an order for his
immediate arrest and transportation tt
prison. Instead of that he read about nj
follows:
To, officer commanding, etc.:
You are hereby ordered to proceed to the
residence of Hon. James L. Pugh, at Eu-
faula, and to station guard around the
premises. See that neither Mr.. Pugh nor
anything belonging to him is molested
JOHN A. LOGAN
Major General Commanding.
Senator Garland rarely ever goes to the
theatre. 1t is only about once in four OF
Ave years that anything is presented upon
The boards which he cares to see. 1t is told
of him that several years ago he went to
see Joe Jefferson in Rip Van Wrinkle the
whole week through-seven performances
and then regretted that Rip was not to run
another week.
Senator Hoar is said to be the worst story.
teller in the Senate. He likes to entertain
his friends by relating funny incidents now
and then, and they say he would spoil the
most laughable story ever known in the tell

iIow Things Go Right and Wrong.
Alas how easily things go wrong;
A sigh too much or kiss too long
And there follows a mist and weeping rain
And life is never the same again.
Alas how hardly things go right!
IT'S hard 10 watch on summers night.
For the sigh will come and the kiss will stay
And the summers night is a winters day.
And yet how easily things go right,
II the sigh and the kiss OF the winters night
Come deep from the soul In the stronger ray
That is born In the light OF the winters day.
And things can never go badly wrong
If the heart be true and the love be strong:
For the mist, If it comes, and the weeping rain
VIII be changed by love into sunshine again.

GEORGE BROWNS CHRISTMAS.
On His Way Home to Augusta After
Some Tough Experiences.

Four years ago, in moderately well to-do
circumstances Geo. w. Brown left his home
in Augusta, Me-, earnest and determined to
still better his condition by emigrating to
the South, where he thought he would settle
and grow up with that section Of the coun-
try He went to North Carolina and finally
selected a small farm in what is known as
Catawba county. He bought the property
from a negro, and soon caused his wife and
six children to live with him in his new
chosen Ell Dorado. For a time he seemed to
prosper and worked hard at planting and
raising hogs and fowl
Suddenly all seemed to go wrong with him.
He found the title of his property IN dispute
and his relations with some of his neighbors
were not very pleasant. His crops failed
him, and his stock of fowl and hogs dwindled.
The crisis came on the night of Nov. II,
when his dwelling and buildings were
burned to the ground by an lncendlary,
leaving him and his family penniless and
without thing in the world except the
clothing they had on their backs
Brown, almost discouraged concluded to
leave the burned and charred remains of his
home and once more to return to the scenes
of happiness of his earlier life.
| Accordingly short time ago he started for
his old home at Augusta with his family.
With the little money he could serape to-
railroad officials he succeeded in reaching
Troy, N. Y, with his wife and six children
few days ago. At Troy he told his expert
ence to Superintendent Crandall of the Troy
& Boston railroad, who investigated and
verified the same, and furnished him and his
family with free transportation to this city,
as well as giving him letter of introduction
and recommendation to Superintendent
Furber of the Boston & Maine railroad.
During the trip, c. w. Burbank, connected
with the house of Breck & Co., of this city,
took up collection amounting to 81 or $S.
Upon their arrival in Boston Thursday eve,
ming the wife and little ones were provided
for the night at the Chardon street Home,
while the husband and father was provided
with shelter through Councilman VIM. Tay-
lor, Jr., who had his attention called to the
case and became interested accordingly.
Today (Friday) the Brown family will be
furnished with free transportation to Angus
ia by Superindent Furber, and ere sundown
will be received with open arms by their old
friends

KILLED HIS EMPLOYER.
Terrible Crime of a CoIored Man in
Canton o.

GfTfps6 GfiH1G OF CCsOFGO Wd0 tsl
Canton, o.
CLEVELAND, o., Dec 25.-D. j. Begges, a
prominent merchant at Canton, o., was
found this morning in his room nearly dead
from the effects Of several murderous cuts in
his neck and face. When he closed his store
last night Begges gave to his chief clerk
the greater portion of the days receiptr tax
ing about $500 mostly in silver to his own
room in building a short distance from his
store. A colored man named Geo. Green who
had charge of Begges' rooms went to the place
at 10 o'clock this morning to sweep and dust,
and a few minutes later he announced on
the street that his employer had been mur-
dered. He said he found Begges lying in
bed with his throat cut and that there were
numerous gashes in his face and head. As
soon as Begges friends arrived they caused
the arrest OF Green, who had a bad reputa-
ton, on suspicion of having committed the
crime. There is strong circumstantal evi
dence pointing to the guilt of the accused.
Entrance had been gained to the room by
unlocking the door and Green was the only
person besides Begges who had a keg. All
the money, together with Begges' watch and
revolver had been stolen. Green spent con-
siderable silver money during the morning,
although he had none yesterday, and when
arrested $27 were found on his person.
Begges is still unconscious andis not thought
he will survive his injuries.

The Tree Pyramid of Fiame-one
Hundred Persons injured.

CHICAGO, Dec. 25--A huge Christmas tree bear
ing all kinds of gifts for the patients ana atten-
dants of the county hospital, and lavishly
Illuminated with wax candles caught fire today
while hundred or more people were packed
closely about it, The tree and its contents blaZed
so fiereely that the clothing Of some twenty per-

were soon extinguIshed and no one was seriously
injured.
LATER.
The accident seems more serious than first re-
ported, several persons having been badly burned
In the rush for the door. Over 800 persons were
In the chapel when the accident occurred. The
small room was densely packed and "Santa Claus"
was forcing his Way through the crowd to the tree
to distribute the gifts, when suddenly wreath OF
colored paper caught Ore from a candle and al
most instantly the entire tree and its contents
were pyramid of flame. The garments of those
next to the tree caught and every one rushed to
the door in a panic. Before the room was half
clear of the crowd some one with q fire extin-
guisher subdued the flames and drenched the
clothing which had caught hre. Some forty per-
sons were injured, but none fatally.
A survey of the scene shows that at least one
hundred persons were injured, the greater part
receiving bruises by being trampled on by their
pane stricken neighbors. number OF the chll-
dren's parents had been brought into chapel anu
before they could be removed several suffered
from smoke and fright and one or two were slight
ly burned. The excitement was intense and but for
the GOODNESS of Warden MeGonagle and some OF
the attaches of the hospital, many lives would
certainly have been lost.

muELLER's REPORT.
The State Department Have No Off
sciaI Information Regarding 1t.

sciai Information Regarding 1t.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25-The recent report
OF Consul General Mueller, which caused so
much comment, was not seen by Secretary
Bayard until he read it in the newspapers.
He was interested in it as an item of infor-
nation and news, but officially did not con-
Germ himself about it.
Mueller is very competent and efficient
official, said Gen. Porter, Assistant Secre-
tary of State, today. Since his appointment
in May last he has answered very ably and
very satisfactorily all calls made upon him,
and there was nothing unusual in the man
ner of his report He took no warrantable
liberties and violated no principal of diplo-
macy 1t is not only his right but his duty
to discuss and report everything that may
affect the commerce of this country so far as
his observations extend and he is an OBJ
servant man, far-seeing and OF keen insight.
Beyond question the conSuPS comments will
be reproduced in the newspapers, of Ger
many, and when they appear in the news
papers of fFrankfort-On-Main. 1t is easy to
understand that some of the people of that
city may not be fayorably impressed with
them and men with whom he comes in con-
tact there may thus be led to turn cold shoul-
der to him, but beyond a little social coolness
the publication cannot operate to his pre-
iudice. tits not understood by governments
to be the duty of a consul to eulogize the
government of the country in which he may
be stationed, neither is it his duty to with
hold his free opinions, and the German con-
sui in this country may criticize our protec-
tive tariff or any principles Of our govern
ment as severely as he chooses, and this gov
ernment win not take offense or seek to sup
press him. We may not agree with his opin-
ions, and we may not like them, but we will
not deny his right to hold and express them
1t is not to be expected that all the consular
reports sent to foreign governments by
agents in this country are couched in terms
Of praise and admiration and unbouuded
friendship for our interests and our ways. |
have no doubt that some German consuls in
this country indulge in criticism as free as
that of Mr.. Mueller.
The relations between this country and
Germany were never more friendly than
now, and it is idle to talk of rupture of
diplomatic relations because of anything
contained in Mr.. Mueller's report"

FATALLY STABBED.
A Husband Deliberately Attempts to
Kill His UnfaitFful Wife.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 25.-Ervestine Helm
dal, an inmate of disreputable house, was
probably fatally stabbed tonight by her hus
band. The latter, who was arrested.
admits having intended to kill his wife say
ing he could not stand her conduct. She left
him three weeks ago and since then has been
an inmate of disreputable house. He says
that he and his wife's brother, Jacob Beinan
and her father had determined to kill her,
and as her father was too old to live out his
time in the penitentiary it was better that a
young man Should do it. Jacob accompan-
led Heimdal to the house, and it is said held
his sister while her husband stabbed her.
The police have not yet arrested him.

Company at Ashton was held Thursday eve
ming for the purpose of hearing the reply of
the company to resolution previously
adopted asking for an increase Of 10 per cent.
