The NEW MARSHAL.
DR.. YANCRY, OF SOMERvILLE,
NOT YET QUALIFIED.
Mr.. Freeman In TrentOn-QuestiOns
About OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Political Notes.

The newly appointed Marsha, DR..
Thomas b. Yancey, OF Somerville, was
expected in the city yesterday, but
had not arrived at supper time. He
was at the Custom House Saturday,
but said he had not received any Of
fetal notice Of his appointment. 1t
appears that he has never been an ap-
plicant for the position and that the
telegram announcing that his name
had been cent to the Senate by Presi-
dent Cleveland was as much OF q sur
prise to him as TO any one else. All
who know him, and his acquai ntance
is large, speak OF him in the mos. COM
plimentary terms. Ex.Maishal Free
man is in Trenton. His successor has
not yet qualified, and it was rumored
yesterday that several rice ques-
tons had arisen regarding the
making of the appointment, which
would make the necessity for
his doing 80 at this time unne ce ssary.
1t is said that the failure OF the Senate
to confirm him before it's adjournment
either knocks him out al together or at
least leaves the office in Marshal Free
mans hands until he is cor affirmed by
the Senate after it reassembes, One
theory is that the otfice is row absp-
lntely vacant and that the power Of
appo nimeut ie, with Judge Stanley
Matthews. This is all gossip, and is
given for what it is wo,t tn. VIA, view
Mr.. freeman takes of the situation
canrot be said, as he is out OF the citv,
but ii is PROBABLE he will step down
and out Gssoln as DR., Iancey qnsli-

(New York Journal of commerco.l TUNNELIAG THE HUDSON.

Unfortunately the men of capital and the engineers engaged for the work have been the first to give it up. They have not even made trial heading all the way under the river. Accldents resulting in loss of life-which might perhaps have been avoided by liberal expenditure of money or a mu udihcation of the engineer ing plaus-wrre permitted at the outset of the undertaking to frighten everybody away from It If such calamities, most of which are avodable with precautions, had always been allowed to dissuade mankind from great enterprises, there there would never have been Suez canal, a St. Goth ard tunnel, a Brooklyn bridge or a Croton aqueduct. But there is uo reason to sup. pose that Hudson river tunnel, upon which the work is all done in the right wy, would cause loss of life to a single workman. The Mersey tunnel has been remarkably ex, mpt trom such misfortunes.
 The cost of the Mersey tunnel, aside from that of some lapd connexions yet to be made for railway purposes, is stated at about $5, GOO, ,000. That of Hudson river tunnel would probably be much greater owing to the increased expense of material ,nd wages here. Per contra, the probable revenues of the latter from all sources might be estimated as far in excess of those of the former. Liverpool is already
 cctsslble by rail from the left bank of the Mersey by the bridge at RunconI, few miles above the city. But there is no communication between New York and New Jersey except by ferry. The tide of local travel aud trade between the two states, as we'll as the through passenger aud freight business between New York and the south and west, using the tunnel, would undoubtedly be great, and one woul Id suppose that, under juiicious man. agement, the enterprise might be made to pay. But that is a patter for inventors to decide for themselves. We are only
 rying to show that, after the happy issue of the experiment on the Mersey, there is less reason to look for insuperable difi. culties in the work of tunneling the Hud- snn

AN IMAGINATIVE GEORGIAN,s STORY.

A Agentleman who lives in the eastern part of this county tells one of those stories that few people will believe without sea- iug it." He says that he was out Gen hunting, and when the chase was at thal height of it's excitement his horse ran into an old we'll thirty feet deep. The horse was instantly killed by the fall, but the rider was unhurt. The walls of the we'll had caved iR at the bottom a distance of three or four feet, and the gentleman sayn this prevented getting out by dlfHlnk footholds. Realizing his nitnall0n. le began o'call for help at the top of his voice, but no assistance came. He was compelled to remain in the well all night, aud theiDext morning fhprs.epch arising rom the dead carcass of Chg horse was any hing but pleasant, aud he noticed
 hat buzzards were.soering oyer the spot. Finlslly the buzzards began B nlight in the well, and it was then that n bright idea struck him. He decided to catch the buzkards by the leg ns they came down until he got sufficient number to carry hlm out. That he did, and when he caught as many as his hands would hold, he ''shooed" at them, and they flew up, carrying him out of the well.
 But still the fox hunter was in dilem- ma. The buzzards flew up so rapidly that he could not turn loose when he reached the top without falling back in HshelwelL Upward the buzzards flew with their human freight, and the fox hunter brBhn to despair of his life after all. tN'haaa- -alantA ao-w@@da-abo~e- the.- ground the fox hunter was just about to let go and fall, when he was struck by another bright Id Q. He d, cided to loose one ouzzard at time unnl bis weight would pull them downward. Acting upon this t1lan, Le was soon landed safely upon the ground.

(Galena Letter to The Chicago Inter-ocean.) GENERAL GRANT BADLY BEATEN.

heard an amusing story day or two ago about the Grant boys, when they were children at Galena. The family lived in plain, two-story brick house, on Highest i, which since the general first began to achieve greatness has been an object of interest to tourists and strangers visiting this city. Their nearest and most intimate neighbors were the family of A. M Haines The Haines' and the Grant children were fast friends during the residence of the latter on High-st The boys of each fam fly had game rooster, and were wont to pit the fowls against each other whenever favorable opportunity presented itself The Grant rooster was named "General Grant" and was very gamey bird, usu- ally coming out first best in the contests The Haines fowl was christened 'Jeff Davis, not, however, from any love the young owners entertained for its traitor ous namesake.
 On one occasion the two birds were set to fighting, and in the battle tue sWMinee fowl whipped "General Grant" hNl#, and drove him from the field. 'An ent1sen between these two chiefs of the roost took place at time when Grant and Pember | ton were pitted against each other at Vicks. burg, and when it began to look as thougl the former would have to give up the i'd, c of capturing the city. News was brought to Mrs. Grant almost hourly from the sea of war, and that lady, as a matter of cours' was very anxious about the result, nltho 1 -he knew that sooner or later "Ulyss' would get there. A messenger had ju- left the house, after handing Mrs. Grant a somewhat discouraging dispatch, when II rushed her boys, Fred and Buck, shouting Indignantly, "Mother, General Craft has been licked General Grant has b+rl licked p ''I guess not, my children, said the mother, coolly, who at first grnvelA imagined that some later intelligence thai that she had received had come from tn, front. "Yes, he has," said Fred, indig. nantly; "'Jeff Davis licked him just now. behind MT.

HE BROKE IN HIS SUCCESSOR. A story they tell about Andrew Jeck, the veteran railway mail clerk, comes in well at this lime, when they are making so many changes in the postal service. Jeck is the oldest railway mail clerk in Maine, and there are few, if any, on the postal cars anywhere, as old as he; yet he is active, efficient, and as sharp letter of removal from Villas. Years ago anoI her fellow sue ceeded in getting himself appointed to fill Jocks place. Of course Jtck consented to make one or two trips with him to show him the ropes. It happened that on the first trip they made together there was all accident and the car was thrown from the track. Jeck caught firmly hold of his tn. ble when he felt the first jar and came out of the accident unscathed aud not the least disconcerted. The novice was flung in heap into one corner and badly bruised.
 ''Does this sort of thing happen very often ?" he asked Jeck.
 "Oh, yes," said Jeck. "And I forgot to tell you that we all have place to cling to, when it comes. You must have a holding place purposely fixed to get stiff grip on with your hands,"
 The top of the car was much battered by time, and the new man asked, before they had gone much further on the route "Mr. Jeck, what has made all those scars in the toprof this car l"
 ''Thats nothing" said Jeck. "Its only where my heels have struck when I've been tossed into the air by accidents such as we have had this morning."
 When they finished their run the new appointee said he guessed he had enough of it, and would go back to selling gro- ceries for living; and Jeck stayed in the railway mail service then and ever after.- OfesasiVe PaTtisdn in the LeWiston Journal

A ToUGH STORY -E. s. Smith, formerly of Birmingham, has a story about the
 Washington Court House cyclone last season which he says he hardly expects to be believed, but he maintains that it is true all the same. Mir. Smith says that instead of uprooting the trees after the manner of most cyclones, this particular breezer took the apple trees, so to speak. by the top of the head, and giving them a twirl, actually set them down into the ground so that their branches rested upon the surface, apparently, by sort of drill ing process An oak tree, uuder whose branches a farmer told Mir. Smith that he had driven load of hay, was set down so far that, standing on the ground. the branches were within reach of the hand. But the most remarkable statement of all was of quantity of timothy graas having been taken up by the tempest, the stalks of which were driven endwise in unoount- completely through an inch and a-quarter board. This Mir Smith saw for himself; and, furthermore, his farmer friend told of the rails in the fences near by that were likewise full of the trans- planted timothy.

DENYING THEM CREDrT.-A wholesale srucrry house of this city has refused 10 s'Il n retail grocery firm except for money down. They have taken this position for two reasUus. One IS that the retail firm IS St lllug some goods for less than the 'h'lrsale prce-iu other words at an ctud loss-thereby placing the other customers of this house at a decided dis. advantage. The fact of retailer selling SoOds so low naturally gives other dealers the Impr, sjou that Messrs. Cutters & SasheIs are buying their goods closer han they are themselves able to buy them, and indeed, such insinuations have 'e-n frequently made. The other reason IS that no firm can do business without A profit, uuless it has unlimited capital or iIteuds to ultimatel- defraud it's creditors. case in point is that of large retail grocery firm in Brooklyn, New York. ,hich recently went up sky. high. This house sold goods for casn at margins iniin. tesimally small, but bought on thirty days tune.
 When the assignment was made, they only had enough to pay twenty five cents on dollar. The general belief is that there was fine play.
 It is with pleasure therefore that we note the action of the Minneapolis whole -ale house, and we believe that it is dic. tated by correct business principles. We would like to see our other iobbers take the same position, so that the retailers in question would find it difficult to get credit anywhere. .-NorthsOest Trads,- Minneapolis, Mtnn.
