SOLD HIS FAMILY.

A special despatch from Ocean Grove
to the New York Mail and Erpress
relates the following: Ellis Thompson,
well-to-do farmer residing within a
mile of Ocean Grove, has purchased
the wife and children of Hiram Satter-
lee, and is now living with them in a
new house, which he has handsomely
furnished. Thompson was lover of
Kate Carson five years ago. His
rival was Satterlee. The latter being
a young man cut out his rival, who
was then over 40 years of age.
Kate Carson became an unhappy
woman almost from the day that she.
became Mrs. Satterlee. He illused
her and failed to supply proper sup
port for the two children born of the
marriage. The Tilted lover, Thompson,
had watched this state of affairs and
his love for Kate never waned. AZ
week or two ago he called on Mrs.
Satterlee and asked her if she would
leave her husband provided the latter
were induced to consent. The woman
jumped at the offer, but stipulated
that her children must also be freed
from Satterlee's influence. Thompson
went to see the husband and bluntly
proposed to buy Mrs. Satterlee and
her children. The terms were soon,
settled between the two men and in.
exchange for 5000, cash down, Satterlee
signed paper reliquishing all rights
now and in the future to his wife and
two children, and transferred such
rights to Thompson. All parties to
this queer romance are now appar-
emily happy and satisfied.

black. was committed to the industrial
school in Baltimore by her mother,
who said she couldn't do anything
with Marie She had room on the
fifth floor. One dark night she got
out on the roof, hung from the caves
by her hands, and dropped to a build
ing beneath, thence jumped to the
roof of a house adjoining, got on the
veranda, slid down a post to the
ground, scaled the fence, and went
home. Her mother at once notified
the police, and one of the force went
to re-arrest Marie. He couldn't find
her until he happened to stick his
hand up chimney. He felt some
thing. and grabbed and pulled, and
down came Marie blacker than ever,
and angry.

Henry Ralph and his wife of Ber-
vile, Mich, quarreled and separated,
the mother taking a three year-old
child with her. She tired of the boy,
and a few days ago, in company with
an adnirer, started in buggy to take
the child to its father She met him
on wagon load of gravel and offered
the child to him. He wouldn't take
it. The mother tossed the boy up on
the load of gravel The father threw
him back into the buggy. The mother
grabbed the whip and began beating
her husband and in the confusion the
little boy fell out of the buggy between
the wheels of the loaded wagon. The
horses started, the wheel went over
the little head, and the question in
dispute was settled forever. The
woman has been arrested.

The history of John Lannon of Alex
andria, Va, who recently died, is worth
repeating. He CAME from Ireland with
his mother when a child, and early had
to work for living. He got a place
in the store of Joseph Borders. who,
when the Federal troops occupied
Alexandria in 1861, ran away, leaving
young Lannon, then 16 years old, in
charge. Borders hoped that the boy
would sell the goods in stock and make
an honest return of the proceeds. He
was therefore much surprised when he
returned at the end of three years to-
find that John had increased the bust
ness, had on hand a larger stock of
goods than when Border ran away,
and had made $4,000, which he had in
bank. The merchant gave young
Lannon half of the money and took
him into partnership, and before he
died John had accumulated 800, 200,
built the Opera House at Alexandria,
and the largest wharf there, and was
one of the most respected citizens of
the town.

LONG TERMS OF PUBLIC SERVICE
Senate was that of Thomas H. Benton,
who served thirty years, or five con-
secutive terms. The nearest to Ben
tons term was that of the late Senator
Anthony of Rhode Island, who was
elected to his fifth consecutive term
but soon died after entering the last.
OF the living public men we do not
recall another but General Cameron,
of modern times, who can divide
honors with Sherman on a fourth
election to the Senate. Cameron was
elected in 1S45, again in 1857, again in
1867 and finally in 1888 Sherman is
now alone in the Senate as the survi-
vor of the Senate of 1861 Vermont is
the next in the length of services of
her Senators dating from
1866 and Morrill, from 1867. Of the
memorable Senate that met the shock
of the civil war, Sherman only remains
in the body, and after Edmunds and
Morrill,, none of his Republican collea-
CUES go back beyond single decade,
except Logan, who has just entered his
third term, but was out from 1877 to
1879 Sherman is, therefore, nearly q
half score of years ahead of all as the
Father of the Senate, and his vigorous
health at siXty-three, gives fair promise
that be may continue as the paternal
saint of the body, until the 4th of
March, 1898.

COULDN'T TELL REAL BUTTER.

In the recent discussion on the Oleo-
margarine bill in the House of Repre-
sentatives it was asserted by Judge
Kelley, Governor Curtin and Others
that nobody could tell the differ
ence between the real and the bogus
butter This statement was vehe
mently challenged by the advocates of
the bill to tax oleomargarine. Gov.
Curtin, who is one of the humorists of
Congress, laid clever trap for Mr.
Pennsylvania, two of the champions
of the bill and two of the largest butter
makers in this country. In the Wash
ing market oleomargarine and butter
are sold at the same stand by an honest
man who has each article properly pla-
carded. Governor Curtin told Messrs.
Scott and West that he could take
them to the stand in the market, let
them taste the oleomargarine and the
butter, and they could not detect the
difference. They laughed at the idea,
One morning on their way to the
Capitol the three Congressman stopped
at the market to try conclusions on the
butter issue. AS they approached the
stand Governor Curtin said: ''Now,
gentlemen, l shall be compelled to
rely on your honesty in this matter,
because anybody can tell which is the
oleomargarine by the signs over the
cans Scott and West assured the
Governor that they would be honest
and would not allow the signs to in
fiuence them in the least. They tasted
the oleomargarine first, and both de-
clared that there was smack about
it which any decent palate could detect
as different from butter. Then they
tasted the butter. Mr.. West, after
tasting a bit of it, placed a piece as
large as a partridge egg in his mouth,
and let it melt with evident relish.
Both he and Mr.. Scott, pronounced it
delicious, and laughed at Curtin for
contending that any one could mistake
such butter for vile oleomargarine
After they had expatiated for some
time on the superiority of the alleged
butter Curtin and the market man
burst into a laugh. They explained
to Scott and West that, according to a
previous arrangement, the placards
had been shifted just as they entered
the market, and that what they had
praised was oleomargarine, while what
they denounced was Jersey butter.
Governor Curtin has had no little fun
in telling this little joke on his friends.

one night last week. AT 10 o'clock
the wind blew SO hard that many
citizens went out to see if tornado
was coming. In the southeast the
full moon shone brightly in cloudless
sky. A slight rain was falling on the
town, and in the northeast was the
rainbow, as bright in colors as if it was
midday. There was also vivid re-

saloon, and the day after the opening
an absent-minded clergyman of the

sat down patiently to wait for his turn.
The men at the bar thought he was

and they went out quickly. Then the
parson discovered his mistake, and he
