description Of him by a correspondent

"They seem to take especial pride in
digging their fists into the ribs OF
young ladies at every opportunity, and
slapping them upon the shoulders in
the most approved rowdy style. But
this is not all. They will give vent tc

" as possible, but the people invariably
found him out, and would cheer him to
the echo until he would be compelled
to show himself. He was so modest
about this that Mrs. Hancock said she
could scarcely get him to the opera
with her. so much afraid was he that
it looked like bid for popularity.
The Democrats in Congress have had
very serious idea for long time to
have the grade of General of the army
re-established, and to put General Han
cock in the place. Besides the tribute
to him, it would put Lieutenant-Gen-
eral Sheridan's nose out of joint, and
the Southern Democrats can not forget
the savagery of Sheridan's warfare.
They said it would make an example
of the way the better sense of the re-
public regarded the difference between
civilized and uncivilized warfare. Not
one word, however. did they ever get
out of General Hancock on the subject
Half the Democratic members of Con-
gress had been his electors, but any
thing like scheming was foreign to Gen
eral Hancock's nature.
On the Sunday night week before
his death, when his mortal illness was
already upon him, an officer going
away on sick leave called to tell him
goodbye. General Hancock treated
mis- illness lightly. but the officer said:
General, you look to me like q Sicker
man than am" On leaving General
Hancock said: "You seem to be lit

and got out fine, white muller. but

the officer. keep it; keep it, replied
General Hancock, in his hearty way, as.
with his own hands, he tied it around
the officers throat and fastened it Sc
curely. This little thoughtful act was
typical of the man. As generous as
the day is long, he forgot himself for
his friend-and this he had been doing,
consistently, all the days of his life

The public understands the mo-
tives of this clamor against Mr.. Gar
land and Mr.. Lamar; that it is an at
tempt to escape an investigation and
trial by court of justice. There is no
question of law or public spirit in il; it
is simply an effort of gigantic cor
poratiOn to crush out all opposition,
all persons who dare to investigate .he
means to which it owes its origin and
its power. This clamOr ought to be de-
nounced and crushed, or it will threat
en- our highest officers in the perform
ance of their duties. The President has
acted wisely and justly in standing by
the members of the Cabinet; but he has
done only his duty in this. II is his du-

pie to stand by, support and defend
against an assault like this an official
unjustly attacked and slandered as Mr..
Garland has been, an official who has

CRANKS AT WASHINGTON.
A Harmless Idiot Who is Sane Six Days OF
the Week.

Washington has no end OF queer
characters. The cranks drift to the
capital of the nation as naturally as the
water which flows to the sea. 1t is a
dull week when one or more of these
insane people do not turn up with the
avowed intention of taking possession
of the White House. They usually are
willing to compromise with n call at
the station house until their friends can
be communicated with. We have
some native ''cranks" who are 1T large,
but these are all well known and are
not supposed to be dangerous. One of
the most amusing of these cases
is an elderly gentleman, who is
reported to be wealthy and who is as
sane as anybody six days in the week. but
whose iniirmity breaks out every Sum
day. He is harmless enough, and his
people humor him in his freaks. Every
Sunday he goes to church three times.
He selects different church for each
service. He enters, and invariably OBJ
tains seat in the center of the church,
so as to be as conspicuous rs possible.
In the middle of the exercises, a boy
dressed as district messenger comes
down the aisle with an envelope which
looks as though it contained a telegram.
He quickly gives it to the old man, who
tears it open. reads the writing con-
tanned therein, seizes his hat and quickly
leaves the church. after which he goes
home. No one has been able to dis
cover the reason for the curious craze,
but it is said that his family indulge him
in it by the advice of physicians, who
say they are of the opinion that if he
should be restrained this mild form of
insanity would probably develop into
far more dangerous Washington

NEW YORK, Feb 16.-The sixth annual con-

Association was opened here to-day. About

that India could produce wheat far cheaper than

An Uncomfortable Free Ride.

NEW YORK, Feb. l6.-Wm. Rutherford is
twenty years old, and he claims home on a
farm near Columbus. O. He had been roaming
west of that point this winter and five days ago
he found himself in Dayton, o. He found
some freight cars on siding, said to bound to
Columbus. He secreted himself in one
loaded with corn. 1t was afterwards
closed and bolted. and the young stowaway
eating to satisfy his hunger, began his jour
ney. After day and night he concluded Co.
lumbus must have been reached, and he shouted
and attracted attention. He said he wanted to
get out but railway orders forbid opening cars
between the point of shipping and destination,
and the car was bound for New York. The
young man arrived here this morning, and is
now in a hospital. His feet are SO badly frozen
that they will doubtless have to be amputated.
He suffered greatly for drink on the way.
