Ex-President Arthur Tells How He
Was Kidnapped at Marblehead,

Ex-President Arthur tells the fol-
lowing story; 1t is not generally
known that | was kidnapped once,
but the same is true, nevertheless. In
the summer Of '84 / was taking Il trip
in Government dispatch boat along
the coast, when one morning we put
into Marblehead in order to visit
Salem, the ancient home of witchcraft.
Our time was limited, and we desired
to escape observation; but no sooner
had we landed than | was recognized.
We hurried into Il carriage aud pro-
ceeded to Salem, but while in the
museum of that city, which contains
many souvenirs of the witches, ! was
accosted by sad.faced man with a
piercing black eye, who had come, he
said, to ask me to say few words to
the people of Marblehead. firmly
but pleasantly refused, on the ground
of pressing engagements, and was
compelled to repeat my refusal at
least three times before the sad-faced
man departed. On the way back to
the vessel my carriage suddenly stop.

Pettihone's Defeat.

Parson Brownlow's son John used
to tell good story about the canvass
for Congress in Tennessee district,
by Maj. Pettibone, very eloquent
man, a classical scholar, educated at
Michigan University, and with range
and depth Of information which prov
ed his defeat. 1t was said that he
quoted the Latin poets, while his COM
petitor told familiar jokes, adapted to
the comprehension of the not over-in-
tellectual population of that region,
and thus secured his election. One
day during the canvass Taylor and
Pettibone were addressing crowd Of
mountaineers. Taylor deal. in jokes
and stories suited to the comprehen-
sion of the crowd, and kept them in u
roar Of laughter. Pettibone followed
in his usual learned and solemn style,
saying that he should not attempt to
excite the risibles of the intelligent
crowd.
whats that he said ?" asked u
mountaineer of Brownlow, punching
him in the ribs.
"He said he should not attempt to
excite your risibles," replied Brown
low.
Excite my risibles" J" exclaimed
the mountaineer awhat does be mean
by that?'
"Why, he means he won't make
you laugh" replied Brownlow.
"Then why didn't he say so? |
can't vote for no sichp
And he didn't, and II good many
others didn't, and Pettibone. was de-

A conductor Of passenger train
oil a Great Western railroad one day
turned in s75 in cash. The Superin.
tepdent sent for him. The conductor
knowing that he was going to be COM

Superintendent's room. The great

the conductor and said

the Superintendent then, after few
moments reflection, he added; "You
are good man and | am sorry that

have TO go. If keep you, 40 other
conductors will quit. You made a

A Rope of Refuge.

Among the many dolorous incidents
of the late war it is pleasant to find
one with a touch of humor in it;
"When 1 was captured before
Petersburg" said Captain Richard
ONeill, ~ was first taken to Libby
Prison. The prison was crowded,
and the day after was placed in it !
was told that we were all to be search
ed for valuables, ] had $500 in my
pocket and was thinking with little
pleasure that this would soon go to
swell the confederate purse, when /
noticed man in n corner with his
back to the crowd busy at some mys-
terious work. l stole up to him, and
glancing over his shoulder saw that
he was rolling up grcenbacks into
small cylinders. "Hullo?" | snid,
what are you doingi' Il amt doing
nothing he replied gruffly, looking
at me suspiciously. But saw he had
o rope in his hand which was larger
at one end than at the other. Don't
tell anyone for the world he said,
for he saw | knew what he was about.
I'm In the same boat, said. We'll,
go and get rope, he said, and I'll
hide them for you.
j pressed my way through the
crowd to the door. My good friend,
said to the sentry, Il have lost my
suspenders, and I'll give you s5 to
get me rope to tic round my waist.
'Greepbacks : said the sentry, aud in
a few minutes brought me one. /
took it to my friend, and in two hours
he had plated my $500 into the rope
SO skillfully that no one could sec a
ray of bill. Soon after we were
stripped and searched. When my
clothes were returned the rope was
not noticed. My good friend / said
to the soldier in charge, j have
broken my suspenders, and ! have
nothing but that old rope TO tic round
my waist will you not pick il up for
me ? Take your old rope, you
Yank, said the confederate. I've no
doubt you have right TO it; only
you ought to wear il higher up than
your waist, as many better man has
done He tossed me the rope and /
tied it round my waist. My friend,
who was sailor, got his rope back
safely, and the next day escaped.

On last Tuesday Mr.. j. b. johnson,

Mr.. johnson is very dignifed and

was amazed to see the door of his
room open and man step in.
"Who the devil are your asked
Mr.. johnson.

stranger, deliberately removing his
coat and rolling up his sleeves.
"Well, what's the meaning of this
singular intrusion? ?" inquired Mr..
Johnson.
Thomas did not reply. He spit
upon his hands, executed a rapid and
fantastic jig, and leaped suddenly up
OH the astonished guest.
"Help! Murderp beloved Mr.,

The next instant the guests in the

shoot down the staircase, plunge
through the lobby and disappear into
the outer darkness. In a few mo

rolling down his sleeves.
"What in the name of heaven were

proprietor, when he recovered suffi
