TRAVELLING WITH EDMUNDs.
How the Vermont Senator Enjoyed Himself
Board the Aurania.

Board the Aurania.
"Gath's'' New York Letter.
! met Thomas J. Dreamer few days gone by.
who had just come home from Europe He said:
Il went over the water with Senator Edmunds,
Of Vermont; that is, he was on my ship. He
was favorlte passenger with both Americans
aud English. He was little off and hard but
that rather pleased the English, while it was
understood by the Americans. The old fellow
would sit right down the deck squatting
on his hams to see game of cricket played.
The ship was the AuraDia such an immense
ship that by putting up an awning they played
a rather decent game of cricket on her. l came
back" said Dreamer, ION the German
line or Hamburg steamers, and | prefer
them altogether to the British ships The
English never know how to feed people of other
nations They have added nothing to their
stock of provisions, while the Germans cater to
the passengers, and like to do it, because they
are more sociable race. When we ate our
dinner on the Hamburg steamer the music by
band for that purpose, made up of the hands,
played for US. The living was just what people
at sea wanted The ship was not as fine as the
British ship, but it was altogether more de-
lightful time for the American passengers"
Said l: Did you sound Edmunds about poll
tics"
mo; he said he was going over for rest. He
had his wife with him, and the old fellow took
his dram like man. He had his bottle of wine
at every meal he took, his breakfast we'll as
balsam. l was rather astonished to such
Yankee so nveterate for his liquor. III the
smoking room he would come up and have his
drink, and he did not read much, but devoted
himself to the creature comforts. AS we were
going out the British purser came to us with the
usual request to assist in an entertainment for
the benefit of the Liverpool Seamen's Hospital.
The officer said to Edmunds: L understand you
are some hing of a public man. and we would
like to have speech from you You are mis-
taken said Edmunds: 4 don't speak Well
the officer, we want you to help somehow or
other for the Seamen's Hospital o. said Ed
munds, i will contribute my mite for heathens
of any kind, English or otherwise"
Il said TO him" said Cramer, "'Why, Senator,
if that should get around you would draw the
Irish vote better than Blaine"
Said L: ''Do you think that Edmunds is
soured"
NO. rather think that Edmunds is or was
badly al pro lched the part of Blaines friends.
He is a peculiar sort of man, and | think that
little patience was required to bring him in all
right. He is undoubtedly highly posted we'll
read, smart old chap"

of throwing had made him careless a treacherous
piece of bark slipped from the bough on which
he was standing, and with one splash he had
disappeared.
Rover stopped suddenly in his rush for the
stick, put his head on one side and looked at the
place where Willie had sunk. Then he sat down
TO think and awaited further developments. AS
nothing happened for ten minutes or So and
Willie did not reappear, he got up shook him

formed the acquaintance of pale young man.
who asked me if | resided in Boston. l told
him that while / felt fattered to think that
could possibly fool any one, must admit that
was only pilgrim and stranger. He said that
he was an old resident and he had often noticed
that the people of the Hub always Spoke to
Felloe till he was Tired. I afterwards learned
that he was not actual resident of Boston,
but had just completed his junior year at the
State Asylum for the Insane. He was sent
there, it seems, as confirmed case of unjusti
fable Punist. Therefore, the Governor had
Punlst him accordingly. This is a specimen of
our patent capitalized joke with Queen Anne
dofunny on the corners. We are shipping a
great many of them to England this season,
where thay greedily snapped up and de-

simple, and may he laughed at or not without
giving the slightest offense.

the Girl refused to marry Brown, who there9
upon left the country. aud Smith, seeing the
field clear once more, persuaded the girl to
elope with him.
While this duel hsd the obvious adysn-
tage of avoiding efusion OF blood, il must
be confessed that it was not successful so far
rs its main object was concerned. The victer
had to content himself with his victory in
the duel, and the defeated man married tbs
girl. This unfortunate result will not recon-
mend the new style OF duel to public favor.
Under the old system at least one of the
duelists would have been effectually
prevented from marrying. and his opponent
would bsve had as claim TO favor the en-
visble reputation Of having laced death aud
8 man in behalf of the object of his affsc-
tons. II duels like tia Pennsylvsnia one
re to become popular. the defeated man
must pledge himself TO leaTe the country
and the girl must pledge herself to marry
