THE OLD DARKY's NICKEL.
A ColOred Man Routs the Whole
Stock Exchange Crowd.
From tho Neao YORK Tunes

From tho NelO York Times.
Things were dull IN Wall street yesterday
when an aged colored man in a long black coat
climbed up the steps to the STOCK Exchange
gallery. He had the look of an African par
son on the outlook for sermon illustrations.
He leaned over the gallery railing and showed
his appreciation of the burly burly scene be-
low-broSers wildly gesticulating and more
wildly howllng. IL wasn't long before the
sightseer was discovered, nor much longer be-
fore matinee was arranged for his especial
benefit, The average stock broker may be
trlt1e wild sometimes, but when he is trying to
be funny nobody is lett in doubt as to his in
tentlons. And this was the case Yesterday
a dozen of the deepest lunged songsters of
the exchange strobe forward to a spot Just
beneath the gallery rails fixed their gaze on
the old gentleman above. and began 10 be
their funniest. They sang plantation melo-
dies and went through lot of monkey bust
ness that to them aud their fellows seemed
humorous beyond all measure. The ancient
observer gazed unmOVed, evidently believing
the circus a part of the regular Stock EX7s
change routine. A hundred brokers further
down the room Joined in The cho~uses and the
visitor heard lots of things about poor black
Joe, 1.-The old cabin home" 1.-The fiddle and
the bow" 1.-THE shovel and the hoe" and lots
of other things that ought to have embar-
raised him. Then, az grand ana irresisti-
bic finale, one proud broker stepped forward
and danced a jig.
The colored gentleman watched this with
uniaggng attention, too, and when the
artists heels finally rested on the floor he
raised his form from its reclining position on
the gallery rail, and with most matter of
fact air drove his forehngers into his waist
coat pocket. The audience watched and
howled. Poor old darkey! He was routed
now. So they Rugged themsel ves-in delu-
sion. Out of his pocket came his forefnger,
AMI with the forefnger came nickel. and
with a smile that was almost grin and a bow
that was whole -souled, the visitor lifted his
hat and tossed the nickel below IN front of the
singers and their dancer.
Not poor darkey! Poor singers Poor Jig
man! Never such a roar was heard in Wall
street before. That oolored gentleman could
have had DelmonicO's whole bar if he'd only
waited to accept it.

How Civil Service Works.

Complaint is made to the civil Service Re-
form Com missOners that of the 300 or more
appointments recently maze III the New ork
Custom House not one is Republican. As
Stunning that this is 80, what OF it? 1t does not
amount to proof that there has been any I'M
lawful discrimination against Republicans
Our Mugwump friends give very reasonable
explanation Of the matter. They say that
very lew Republicans are applying for office,
ither because their co sciences tell them that
this Is not their turn, or because they think 1t
would not be worth the while. This would
easily and nationally account for the fact
which is the basis of the above comulant.

GEORGE II. TTLDEN WILL BE THE PLAINTIFFS
IN THE SUIT.
From the New York Sun.
When the heirs OF Mr.. Tilden first talked Of
contesting his will. soon after his death, the
plan proposed was for George II. Tilden to ap-
would involve the loss Of his SIS, 900, but the
other heirs were to agree to make it up to him
In case the will was not overthrown. This
plan was abandoned. Then the creditors of
the Tilden boys made things SO uncomfortable
for them that they were compelled 10 do some
thing. The creditors said there was no
the will was broken. and urged the boys to
make the attempt. Various plans were talked
OF, and finally II was agreed that the Tildens
receiver should be appointed, and that he
having acquired all the rights of the heirs
should contest the will. In pursuance OF this
plan judgments were entered up for the full
amount. Then there was another change of
front, and 1t was decided to go back TO the
original plan as the simplest and best.
II is now arranged that Geo. II. Tilden shall
be the plaintiff A gentleman familiar With
the case said that the creditors have agreed to
bear the legal expenses of the suit, and the
other heirs have agreed to make good Georges

II. Tiden, Miss Susie Tiden, Miss Ruby Tilden
and Mr.. w. A. Whittlesey were all at the St
James hotel yesterday. They had a conference

1t was the intention 10 have served a notice Of
contest on the executors yesterday, but for
notice will be served very soon, and the
executors will be enjOned, If possible, from
proceeding under the will or disposing of any
property. The ground OF contest will be that
the clause constituting the general trust is
invalid because Of Indebtedness. The heirs
do not think George will lose his $50, 900, as
they believe the clause Imposing this penalty
for opposing the will Is imperative under the

AN OLD MAN AND WOMAN TORTURED AND
OUTRAGED BY MASKED ROBBERS IN OHIO.
A special to the Baltimore american from
Parkersburg, West Va, October Goth, says: Mt
Pleasant, village in Ohio not many miles from
here, was the scene Monday night of most ter
rible outrage. About midnight six masked
armed men went to the house OF a wealthy
citizen named Parker, and with rails and axes
beat down the door and gained an entrance.
The only inmates of the house were Mr. Par
ker an old man, and an elderly lady who keeps
house for them They mad both retired when
the maskers made their entrance. In mo-
ment they were dragged from their beds, and
partly bound with ropes. Then the robbers de.
manded OF Parker where his money was, and
when after various threats he refused to tell they
applied lighted pieces Of paper to the hands
and feet of both Parker and the woman, with
Il fiendishness that savOred of the middle ages
They continued TO torture these poor creatures
until their hands, feet and limbs were terribly
burned. Finding Parker immovable, they
ransacked every part of the premises, and not
discovering the money, they bound the parties
hand and loot, put gags in their mouths and
then lett, taking with them a rifle and revolver
belonging to Parker. About twelve hours after
neighbOrs passing saw the house with the door
smashed in, and going in unioOsed the victims
who were almost dead. Parker is SO old and his
wounds SO serious that he Is not expected to re-
cover The woman is not fatally injured,
though her feet and hands are horribly burned
A band of indignant citizens started In pursuit
of the robbers, but as yet they have not been APP
