A Strong Way Of Thinking.

"When l was in London, in the fif-
ties" writes friend to the Washing
ton critic, 81 used to have q great
fancy for running around the by-lanes
and corners, and of hunting up places
of historical interest that the guide
book barely mentioned, and that few
travellers go to see. Among my haunts
was an old, low-ceiled tavern, with q
sanded floor two feet below the level
of the sidewalk l used to go there
and drink 'alf-and- 'alf and try to
bring up images of the wits of the last
century, who used to sit in that same
room and drink ''alf-and-'alf too. One
day an image materialized, for while 1
was sitting beside o table, with my
pewter pot half emptied, l observed a
large man in cloak had entered. His
face was round, pale and heavy, but
the eyes were bright and his bushy eye
brows slid up and down with quick
changes of expression. He sat down
at the table next to mine, and
directly waiter came in with big
plate of bread and cheese and a glass
of ale and set it before him. He ate,
and after finishing his lunch, sat up

ing in earnest. / surmised that he was
doing some pretty hard thinging. Sud
denly he reached for his empty glass
and hurled it on the floor with all his
strength, smashing it into shivers. He
sat for minute longer, then got up
slowly, tipped the waiter. paid his
reckoning at the bar, and passed out
He had not uttered word. The waiter
got a broom, swept up the pieces of
glass, and cleared the table. 1 asked
him if the gentleman's intellect was a
little in the need of repair. ooh. no.

Ohio Surely Republican.

Congressman Mckinley, of Ohio, said
to-day in answer to an inquiry concerning
the political situation in Ohio: "The State
will go Republican by great majority.
There will be at least five, and perhaps
six, additional Republicans elected to
Congress. IL all other States could do as
well as Ohio the next House would be Re-
publican; but it will be close pull, any
way. Washington special to Chicago

SYLVESTER SHIvELY, gambler who
died recently at Scranton, Pa, from a
stroke of apoplexy, won his wife by a
game of poker on the Mississippi in the
summer of 1860. 1t was on the River
Queen, and the game had been going
on for some time. and the stakes ran in
to the thousands, for there was no
limit in those days. One of the players,
after dropping his last dollar, drew
his chair back from the table, and, GO
ing to the side of the boat, whipped
out his derringer, and put it to his
head. But he was not quick enough,
for Shively had him in his grasp be-
fore he could fire, and he led the man
into the cabin. There the stranger in
troduced Shively to his daughter, 6
beautiful girl of twenty. They say it
was love at first sight. Shively restored
the mans fortune he had won, married
the daughter, and promised to give up
gambling forever. He settled down in
Scranton, and was living like a gentle
man. when he was called to Harris
burg on business during session of
the Legislature. He sat into game
there and won $50, QUO.

IT is n wonderfully sad and pathetic
story that comes from Albany, n. Y,
of the mental decline of him who was
once one of Americas most genial po-
cts, John G. SAKE. Living within a
stones throw of the Capitol, he passes
his time in the seclusion of his room,
going down in the shadows of cloud
ed life. A few years ago he was in the
prime of health and in the vigor of in
tellectual and physical powers. But a
railroad accident with which he was
connected, and from which he emerged
with scarcely his life, left his nervous
system permanently impaired, and
fastened the decay of his mental pow
ers. For two years he has lived life
of seclusion, seeing no one but mem
bers of his family, and brooding over
the memories of proud and happy
past. A settled melancholy has now
come over him. which shuts out
all of the sunshine of life, and
leaves him brooding in its
shadows. From having been one
of the most cheerful and merry writer's,
he is now in the vale of sorrow and
deep regret. Few men have been
called upon to pass through such sud-
den and overwhelming changes as have
come to him. In addition to his own
sutferings he has lost wife and children,
and now, without near friend in the
world, he waits sadly the release OF
his own life. This is most pathetic
ending of life that had so much com
fort and good cheer in it for humani-
ty. Three have been no writer's in
this country who have surpassed him
in classic wit and genial humor, OIL
who have contributed to the language
more that was bright, and cheerful,
and helpful to the world. His fame
was not confined to his own nation, but
across the sea he was known as the
Thomas Hood of America. Now, after
having brought happiness to so many
lives, by a sad irony of fortune his own
is going out in deep misery and sor
row. He passes hours at a time in
silence, dwelling tenderly and regret
fully on the past and praying with q
longing heart for release that cannot

is described by the anonymous writer
as follows: "There are ct Berlin some
score of public bars, the frequenters Of
which belong exclusively to the GRIM
inal world. They are kept in the
Easements of houses; no bright-colored
sign-board tells of their existence, and
at night the light from the windows
falls family through closely drawn cur
tains into the street. The frequenters
are professional thieves, their accom-
plices (who find occasions where strokes
of business may be done), and receiv-
ers of stolen goods. The conversation
in these places is always carried on in
low voice, and everybody drinks and
CANDLES. Disputes are rare, for as
soon as q quarrel threatens to become
noisy the neighbors of the parties in
question interfere in order to avoid any
uproar. Sometimes the door is rapidly
opened, head is thrust in, and the
newcomer cries out 'Lampenv AT this
word general rush toward the door
commences. the innkeeper hurrics the
glasses off the tables, and when the
police arrive the room is empty. Beth
at Berlin and at Frankfort public
houses OF this kind have chain of out
posts formed by a number of poor
wretches who, for q few pence, keep a
lookout, and report as soon as any
sign of danger appears on the horizon.
If ever the police succeed in capturing
one of these thieves the malefactor
hardly offers any resistance"
