The Watch Was Loaded.

Herr Hager, the wealthy banker, is &
punctnal man in the world and always
carries couple OF chronometers about
with him. Thanks to this habit he is a
frequent victim Of pickpocI>ets as not a
week passes without his losing one Of his
watches; AT first be had recourse to all
kinds of safety chains, then one fine morn
ing he took no precaution whatever and
quietly allowed himself to be robbed, AT
night, on returning from business, he took
up the evening paper, when he uttered an
exclamation of delight, and at once started
off to the police station. This is what he
read :--'sTo-day, about two p M, u
violent explosion took place in house in
B street, occupied by Mr.. S., wealthy
townsman The hands of the victim are
shattered and his left eye gone" The
crafty banker had filled the watch case
with dynamite, which exploded during
the operation of winding. Since that time
no more watches have been stolen from
the person OF Herr Hager:-[Courrier dep

A PaylOr Game.

The new game of s'Be;in Bag is grow
ing in popularity. Perhaps some Of our
young readers do not know how it is
u.ayed. Considerable skill can be devel
oped in playing it. The apparatus neces-
sary is homemade and inexpensive. Get a
board and, if it is not the right size, make
it three feet long and one and one-half feet
wide It must be smooth OK one side.
One end OF the hoard is On the floor, and
the other end is raised about nine inches
by means Of a prop. SO that the BOARD! will
present /; sloping surface to the player.
Nine inches from the top Of the board a
hole six inches square, is made. Make
five cloth bags, six inches square when
hnislled), and loosely till them with beans,
and Que called Ju,nbo) should be six
by ten inches. Each player stands five
to eight PAGES from the board and throws
all the bags, trying to pitch them through
the square hole. Every Dag through
counts ten for the player, those landing
on the platform count five each and all
falling on tie floor discounts ten each.
"Jlmbo'' must be thrown last and counts
or discounts twice as much as one of the
smaller bags. The number of players is
unlimited, but if the party is a large one,
captains may be appointed and sides
chosen. The limit in scoring is 500, Boys
and girls will be surprised how enjoyable
the game is. The exercise incidental to
play will be found beneficial.

THE FAMILY IN THE SHOE.
BY LUCY E. r1LLY.

you remember the story told so oft
OF the woman who lived in the shos2
And to what perfectly wonderful size
Her family speedily grew?
How they grew in size, and appetites too,
In such an alarming way,
That it made the mother a little cross,
SO the people who knew her say.
l have often thought in a general way,
How funny that house must look.
Though never expected to see it, OF course,
Excepting perhaps in a book.
But to-day I saw it, I'm pretty sure.
With the children little grown,
And they pushed one another out of doors
In a very queer way, must own.
The house, which was somewhat dingy and
brown,
Seemed rather the worse for. wear;
But 'twould hardly pay, should think from
its looks.
TO put it into repair.
You wish you knew those children's nanls*
You wonder if any one knows?
Well. stoop down low and III whisper 10 you-
The truth is they were five little toes.

PATRIOT HERO DEAD.

The sudden death of General Winfield
Scott Hancock came upon the country
yesterday like the shock OF the thunder
bolt from "A clOudless sky. 10 every sec
tion Of the land in every political cir
Gle in every patriotic heart, there was
profoundest sorrow for the death of the
gallant soldier and the unsulled patriot.
OF all the manv public men who have
passed to the City of the Silent since
the death of Abraham Lincoln. none
was so sincerely and widely beloved as
was General Hancock. He was known
to the nation and the world at the close
of the war, as one of the great captains
of the conflict but his gIeenest lauTels
have been woven for him by the grander
victories of peace. His broad, gener-
Gus craftsmanship, exhibited in the
tempest of reconstruction attracted the
attention and inspired the trust of the
people of every faith, and when he was
nominated for the Presidency in 1880
by the spontaneous demand of his par
ty. he was the one Presidential candi-
date of our history upon whose impTeg-
nable mail of patriotic and blameless
action the shafts of partisan malice were
not ventured.
General Hancock's last appearance in
view of the nation was when the defeat
ed but universally hcnored soldier COM
manded the imposing panorama of his
rivals Inauguration as President. There
was no room for a trace of disappoint-
ment in his heroic mould, and even the
paTtisans who cheered the victor turned
with the respect that is akin to love to
the leader who lad lost the race by a
few thousands in mauy millions. He
grandly typified the noblest government
of the earth, where the popular will is
the supreme law.
There will be general regret through.
out all political circles that General
Hancock did not live to reach the high
er houors which would have been the
grateful offering Of the Republic in the
fullness of time. Had his life been pro-
longed few years there is lite doubt
that the Lieutenant Generals stars
would have attested the love and re-
spect o! the people for their soldier who
shared the largest measure OF public
affection A.; but he needed no Presidency
nor no higher title to round out the
fullness CT his fame. 1t Is enshTined
iDeffacebly in the hearts Of the Ameri-
can people, and neither monument nor
annals of history will be needed to teach
the inheritoIs of free government that
it lost one of its uoblest, puTest and
most heroic worsh;pers when Winfield
Scott Hancock was gathered TO his
fathers. Philadelphia Times, Feb 10.

EX GOVERNOR HORATIO SEYMOUR.
Of New York, died at Utica, in that
State, on Friday last, in the 10Th year
of his age. His home was on his farm.
a short distance from Utica, but for
week or two prior to his death he had
beer staying at the residence of his sis
ter, Mrs. Roscoe Conkling, in that CITY.
In 1850 Mr.. Seymour was the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor. but was
defeated. In 1852 he was again nomi-
mated and was elected by a large major
ity. In 1862 he again became the can
didate of his party for the same Office
and was elected. This was during the
rebellion and when in 1868, lust before
the battle of Gettysburg, the Confeder.
ate army invaded PENNSYLVANIA and di-
rected its course toward Harrisburg
the call for aid on Gov. Seymour was so
promptly responded to as to call forth
the warmest cOmmendation from Gov.
Curtain as well as from the authorities
at Washington. In 1868 he was Presi-
dent of the National Democratic Con-
Nentlon JhaJ met IN New 7 ork and was
nominated for the Presidency against
his emphatic and repeated protest. He
was defeated by Gen. Grant. Since
then be has lived retired life on his
farm near Utica. He was a man of
high character, eminent abilities and of
spotless reputation. No man ever en-
Joyed so great a degree of popularity
among the members of his own party in
the State of New York as it was the
fortune o. Horatio Seymour to do. In
addition to this his character was so
pure and his political motives so disin-
terested, that his advice and counsel a.
ways commanded the highest respect
and homage of the Democracy of the
whole country. He was an honor to
his State, to his party and to his coun-
try. The earth that now bears him
dead, bears not alive nobler gentle
man.

WILLIAM JONES, gentleman of

One night last week, in presence Of sew
eral invited persons, in room No. AZ Of
the GiIard House, he lifted a lamp
chimney to his mouth and bit off good
sized piece, which he chewed and swal-
lowed with as much relish as if it had
been the choicest food. He then ate a
champaign glass and washed it down his
cOpPer-lined gullet with glass of wine.
Jones says he contracted the habit about
thirty years ago by eating a thin piece
Of glass which he had mistaken for ice.
He has kept it up ever since and is very
fond of crushed glass in ice cream or
with cake. He says the glass never
cuts his mouth nor hurts his internal
arrangements. He has exhibited his
peculiar powers to several Philadelphia
physicians, who were utterly amazed by

THE Grave AND POTENT SENATE.

There is no part of the country to-day
in which the greed OF the Republican
mana gers and politicians for The spoils is
not manifest. IC shows itself IN the SEN
ate's action in refusing to confirm FTesi-
dent CIeveland's appointments. They
feel il impossible to let go their grip.
Holding three-fouTths of the PTesiden-
tial appointments, &C. 900 out of the go,
600 minor postofflces, and four-ffths of
the 10. 900 department, postal and Gus
tom clerkships under the civil service
law, vet the whine and snarl and beg
and blaspheme every time one of the
crew is made an official head shorter.
They have no sense of decency or man
hood no pride or self respect only
hunger for the spoils and anger when
their greed is baffled. This is particu-
larly the case with the Republican Sen
ators. For years they have upheld the
spoils doctrine in its most extTavagant
and debasing character. They have
haunted the departments, crowded the
White House, bargained and intrigued.
Everything for plundeT. They consti-
tinted themselves bosses to control the
offices, big and little, in their respective
States. They paid their political and
sometimes their personal debts with

around they wonld create new offices or
divide the salaries to feed more mouths
and share percentages from contracts.
These are the patriots who are aeus-
| ing Cleveland, although not in the his
tory Of the country, since Office has been
recognized IS the reward of political
service, has there been a President so
conservative ard moderate in putting
his party friends in place.
This greed of Office is the leading
trait we see throughout the country
wherever the Republicans have lately
succeeded to power in municipal or
State affairs. The one objectionable
sin is to be a Dem0crat-off with hts
