How Wise Became a Judge.

Hon. John S. Wise, who was the re-
publican candidate for governor of Vir-
ginia at the last election, is dead shot,
a lover of fine dogs, one of the best law
yers in his state, and-a joker. At the
Hoffman House recently he gave q
writer for the New York Mail and Er-
press batch of funny things about his
campaign for governor.
"How did | get the idea for glass
ball shooting campaign? In the begin
ming of the campaign visited some red
hot democrats in back county, intend
ing to try and convert them by telling
stump speech. l had to pass away the
time early in the morning, as the speak
ing did not begin until noon. There
was lot of old ink bottles piled up in
front of store | made a bet with
some of the democrats that just as
MANY of them as defeated in contest
of shooting at these bottles should vote
for me. Well, won four democratic
votes in very few minutes. That's
the only shooting l did in the cam
paign."
"You threatened to cut q democrats
ears off once. didn't you?"
"Yes, and would have done it if he'd
continued to interrupt me while speak
ing. Itwas at small town. was
addressing quite crowd. Every now
| and then some one far back in the audi
ence interrupted me. finally saw that
he was fire eating democrat. Ipoint-
ed my finger at him and said: i see you
and know that you are trying to inter-
rupt me. l have pistol and knife with
me. If you bother me again will come
down from this platform and cut both of
your ears off, need scarcely add that
l finished my speech without further in
terruption"
"How did you get the title of iudgeP"
I THAT, like the glass-bal shooting
campaign, is rather joke. was en-
gagged in lawsuit in this city, asssciat-
ed with Gen. Gordon. One day the
general and l were walking down
Broadway. was telling him of some
particular law points that l had been
examining. He was intently listening
when dapper young fellow, whom
knew, walked up and addressed me as
Judge. He walked along with me and
it was judge this and judge that. Isaw
that Gen. Gordon was rather annoyed
that our conversation should be inter-
rupted, so said to the dapper fellow:
"'My dear sir, am not judge,
never was q Judge of any court and
don't deserve the title. Why do you cal
me judge?'
"'You are a dog-judge,' he answered
You could have heard Gordon's
laugh five blocks off. "

The tourist travelling through the Adiron-
dack mountains and in the vicinity
of Upper Saranac lake, N. Y, might
come across party of four, with
a guide and servant, lunching on the
hank of a quiet stream. But if the tour
ist was unaware that President Cleveland
was spending a month in that neighbor-
hood, he would never suspect that in the
group before him the stout gentleman
with the great broad back, covered by a
checked flannel shirt, and whose head is
partly hid under the gray slouch hat, was the
ruler of the greatest nation the world ever
beheId Neither could he detect that there
was any more Difference paid to him Than TO
any other gentleman who might be rustlcatlng
in those woods. And yet to this man IS IN
trusted the execution of the principal laws
governing 50,000,000 of people. He cannon
truly be termed their ruler, for no ruler LII
the world could trust himself among his
people without police or military protection,
as the president of the United States does.
The broad-backed man is President Cleve-
land, and the handsome, athletic-looking
lady in the plain, gray WOODEN dress and broad
brimmed straw hat is his wife. The other
lady is her mother, and the jolly looking
| fourth person, the most richly attired men,
ber of the party, in the bottle green suit, is Dr.
Ward, of Albany The spot that the president
has chosen for his vacation is the most Sc
| cluded portion of the Adirondack wilderness,
twenty-four miles away from the nearest
railroad station. The log cottage which the
president occupies is one that was constructed
by the guides thereabout in the winter season.
| On the ground floor are sitting room and
bedroom, and above the whole is large attic
room occupied by Mrs. Folsom. Here is
| picture of democratic simplicity for you.
The bench outside the back door with the
water pail and tin basin for ablution is miss
ing, but wooden buttons are on the doors in
stead of knobs, the bedsteads are made OF
pine and bark, the quaint furniture, the
strips of rag carpet on the floor all remind
the president that he is many miles from the
White House and its anxieties. The whole
cabin and its contents, which the president
and party occupies, look as if it could be
duplicated for $780, Quite contrast this
with the palatial mansion which they left be-
hind in Washington with its expenses of over
800, 0,G00 year.

The bridge across the Hudson river at
Peel1skill is not built yet, except upon paper.
1t is not but it is to be by the 1st of January,
1883, its charter says. The Union Bridge
company, of New York city-Gen. W. c.
Hurd. president-has the contract for its
construction.
1t is to be a suspension bridge, patterned
after those at Brooklyn and Cincinnati.
Peeksl1ill is picturesque and wealthy town
on the left bank of the Hudson, forty-two
miles north of New York city, chiefly noted
for being the summer home of Henry Ward
Beecher. Close by is Anthony's Nose, a
mountain 1900 feet high. The bridge will
cross from the side of this noun
tain. at height above the Hudson
river of 1893 feet. This will leave room below
for the passage of ships and steamers. Wash
ington Irving in his highly veracious history
says the mountain got its name from the nasal
organ of Anthony Van Corlear. The bridge
will cross from Anthony's Nose to old Fort
Clinton on the west bank. The height above
the water of the towers supporting the cables
will be something tremendous, $40 feet.
1t is proposed to connect on the west side
of the river with the Erie railway, the Lehigh
and Hudson, the New York, Susquehanna
and Western, the Ontario and Western, the
Central Railroad of New Jersey, the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, the Reading, the Baltimore
and Ohio, the New Jersey and New York,
| the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, the
Pennsylvania and Slatington and the West
Shore railroads; on the east side of the river
with the New York Central and Hudson
River railroad and the New York City and
| Northern railroad-thuS giving direct COM
munication with the elevated railway system
of New York city and the New York and
Harlem, the Housatonic, the Naugatuck, the
New York, New Haven, Hartford and Spring
field, and the New York and New England
railroads; direct all-rail connection between
the great western and southwestern states
and all New England, the western river coun
ties of New York and the city of New York.

The president is an enthusiastic fisherman.
It is said that President Arthur excelled as an
adept fly thrower, which may all be, but
President Cleveland will always be known as
the better all around fisherman. He goes at
it in his usual thorough way. He requires
none nor asks any advice from guides. He
listens, of course, attentiveiy to any informa-
ton offered, but in the interchange of points
in the piscatorial art he is more likely to give
instruction than receive it.
One of the guides who accompanied the
president on fishing trip last year ell
croached on Davy Crockett with the follow
ing: He said that when the president first
threw his line in Lake Saranac there was
quite commotion among the fish. A great
trout stuck his head out Of the water with a
frightened look on his wet face, and asked,
''Is that you, President Cleveland" "Yes,
NV name is Cleveland "All right, Mr..
Cleveland, I am at your service The fish
leaped out of the water to the presidents feet
as dead as canned mackerel.
This story, other guides claim. is fabrica-
ton. They hold that tho tremendous catches
the president secures is not due to any par
tiality on the part Of the trout but to the
skill and attention whah Nj. Cleveland
brings to bear ON his rod LIrs, cleveland
seems also to he fascinated with thA sport,
and, under her husbands tutelage, she is
likely to become as celebrated as he in these
parts. In report of one days catch Of trout
the presidents figure is put at 1l5, while Lis
wife is credited with 40 more Of the speckled
beauties. AS size has had but little expert
ence her success can be attributed to luck
though the charming grace with which she
handles the rod should be enough to capture
the most timid fish.
Near the presidents cabin is the Saranat
inn, which will accommodate about seventy
guests. 1t is owned by company of the pres
ident's friends, who run it not to make
money, but as a sort of private club house
The telegraph connects the place with civ
| ihzation
The president left the White House on Aug
| 16, and it is his intention to be back at hi
desk on Sept IT, Then will the PRESIDENT
| woolen shirts be put away where the moth
| cannot reach them. And the trout withou
| fear may rest for another season. f4,a

High bridge is one of the great bridges of
the North American continent Its three
spans are together ,125 feet long. tits 276 feet
high The idea of bridge at this romantic
spot is more than generation old. 1t was
first attempted to be carried out by the Lex
ington and Danville Railway company They
planned suspension bridge. The president
of the company had such faith in it that at
his own expense he constructed the towers
that appear in the illustration. Then the
organization failed, and the towers stand to
this day a monument of blasted hopes.
The Cincinnati Southern company bought
the road bed of the former concern and built
across the river bridge of the ordinary con-
struction, in which the towers were not util-
lied.

Gen. Neal Dow was the originator of the
bugbear to the liquor traffic known as the
aMaine law" and might be termed its back
bone for the past thirty-five years, or since
the present law was inauguratea. Gen. Neal
Dow is at present in the neigborhood of 70
years. AS the portrait shows he bears some
facial resemblance to England's great states
man, Gladstone He is also active and vigor-
Gus but here the likeness ends, for Gen. Dow
is small man with slight figure The
stern lines of his mouth indicate great firm
ness Of character and this is carried out in
his career He has been an unhinching advo-
cato Of principle throughout his whole life
He is to-day one Of the principal leaders in
the movement to establish an independent
national party which will have for its plank
the prohibition of the sale or manufacture
Of spirituous liquor, except for the use of the
arts and medicine in this country. This party

Facts Worth Knowing,

In all diseases of the nasal mucous
membrane the remedy used must be
non-irritating. The medical profession
has been slow to learn this. Nothing
satisfactory can be accomplished with
douches, snuffs, powders, syringes, as
tringents or any similar application,
because they are all irritating, do not
thoroughly reach the affected surfaces
and should be abandoned as worse
than failures. A multitude of persons
who had for years borne all the worry
and pain that catarrh can infilct testify
to radical and permanent cures
wrought by Ely's Cream Balm. 2t

TWO FAMOUS BRIDGES.

High Bridge, Kentucky, and New One
Across the Hudson.
In one of the most beautiful and picturesque
locations in America stands High bridge,
Kentucky. It spans the Kentucky river, and
is the railway crossing Of the Cincinnati South
ern road on its track to New Orleans. Pic
MICS to High Bridge are the fashion in sum-
mer in that region for hundreds Of miles
around.
A fight of 600 steps leads the foot passenger
down beside the bridge to the water below.
Once an unwary traveller fell down the
steps and was killed.
