A NOse.Pulling Affair.

Mr.. Adams's private secretary was his
son, John Adams, who soon made him
self very obnoxious to the friends of
General Jackson. One evening Mr.. Rus
sell Jarvis, who then edited the Wash
ington telegraph, a newspaper which
advocated Jackson's election, attended
a drawing room at the White House,
escorting his wife and party of visiting
relatives from Boston. Mr.. Jarvis in
troduced those who were with him to
Mrs. Adams, who received them court
eously, and they then passed on into the
East Room. Soon afterwards they found
themselves standing opposite to Mr.. John
Adams, who was conversing with the
Rev MT. StetsOn. "WhO is that lady2"
asked Mr.. Stetson "That, replied Mr.
John Adams, in a tone so loud that the
party heard it, sis the wife of one Rus
sell Jarvis, and if he knew how con-
temptbly he is viewed in this house
they would not be here" The Boston
ians at once paid their respects to Mrs
Adams and withdrew, Mr.. Jarvis having
first ascertained from Mr.. Stetson that it
was Mr.. John Adams who had insulted
them. A few days afterward Mr.. Jarvis
sent a note to Mr. John Adams demand
ing an explanation, by a friend of his,
Mr. Mclean. Mr. Adams told Mr.. Nc
Lean that he had no apology TO make to
Mr.. Jarvis, and that he wished no cor
respondence with him.
A week latter Mr.. John Adams went
to the Capitol to deliver messages from
the President to each House of Congress.
Having delivered that addressed to the
Speaker of the House of Representatives
he was gong through the rotunda toward
the Senate Chamber when he was over
taken by Mr.. Jarvis, who pulled his nose
and slapped his face A scuille ensued,
but they were quickly parted by Mr..
Dorsey, a Repre- sentative from Maryland.
President Adams notified Congress in
a special message Of the occurrence and
the House appointed select committee
of investigation Witnesses were exam
ined and elaborate reports were drawn
up but neither the majority nor the
minority recommended that any punish
ment be inflicted upon Mr. Jarvis. p Ben

Some correspondents have made in.
quirics about the water towers used by
the New York Fire Department, and the
letters show that there is much curiosity
in distant places concerning those con
trivances which enable the iremen to
extinguish flames in lofty buildings in
this city without danger. A water tower
is a large iron tube, supported on truck
by turn table The big end of the tube
is fastened to the table by means of a
hinge and cog wheels, which are moved
by crank By turning the crank two
men can elevate the tube from a hon-
zontal to vertical position. The tube
is in sections, and these sections are un-
screwed and packed on the truck except
when the tower is brought into play al
a fire. When the tower is raised in from
of burning building the hose from two
or three fire engines can be connected
with the lower end of the tube and the
water pumped by all the engines goes
up through inc luO0 "nu ON' "a Dis
nozzel at the top. A wire cable enables
the tiremen to raise or depress the end Of
the nozzel. while the motion of the turn
table works the nozzel in another direc
ton. The tower is used to throw large
streams of water directly into the uppeI
stories of high buildings when flames il
the lower stories prevent the fremer
from entering or when the front walls
are too unsafe to permit the fremen t.
reach the upper windows by means o
ladders. The New York Fire Depart
.ment has three water towers at present
but only two of them are kept in activ'
service.

A writer for the Boston Herald says
that the construction of the American
railways has practically quadrupled the
efficiency of the army on the Mexican
frontier, and the ability to put the troops
into the frontier States--where trouble
generally begins-gives the Federal Gov
ernment sense of security which was
never felt before. The Mexican soldier,
though largely recruited from the Grim
inal class by that system of compulsory
service based on army enlistment being
made the alternative of vegetating in
prison, is good fighter. He has recently
done some effective work in the Yaqui
war in Sonora, and, as a trailer of savage
Indians, may be relied on to fight hard
and march far, and all this on very light
rations.

THEY NEVER COME BACK AGAIN.

Oh, the days, the days in the dear old past,
With their kisses, their blisses and painl
My heart droops sad meath the overcast,
orthey mover come back again.
Oh, my cup was brimmed with pleasures
delight,
And my sky was sunny and clear,
But the morrow's blank as look tonight
Through the glim'riug veil of n tear.
Come back, come back, dear days agone,
With your kisses, your blsses and pain;
For my heart droopS sad as wait o'erlong
For the days that neer come again.
Swept Off on the ebbing tide afar,
My barque that was light and gay;
And waited long at the harbor bar
For its sails to return this way
All, nevermore1l come back TO mo
The kisses and blisses of yore;
For l see 'yond the posts of eternity
The rain aud the shadows pour.
The sweet, sweet past, with its fond delight,
Is lost in the darkness drear,
And the morrow's blank as gaze tonight
Through the glim'ring veil of tear.
The worlds as bright as of yester-e'en,
And hearts are light and gay,
But my souls drear as gaze on the scene
And dream of a long gone day
The pressure of lips and clasp of hands,
Like phantoms adrift in the rain,
Like spirits afar in the shadow lands
But the days they ne e'ercome again

All sorts of queer trades flourish in
New York, and one of the queerest is
the purchase and sale of current coins.
A printed list of quotations, sent out
daily by reputable tirm, gives the mar
ket value of all sorts of specie. A Vic
toria sovereign is quoted at $4.S6, but an
old sovereign may be had for $4.75.
United States halves, quarters and dimes
are from to per cent. under par, and
trade dollars are worth only II cents.
Mexican dollars are divided into firsts
and seconds, and are rated at rs and 72
cents. There is shave of 10 cents upon
Central American and South American
dollars. A New York club man to whom
one of the circulars was sent, and who
proposed to save money by buying some
deprecated currency in which to pay his
debts, was rebuked by his associates.
'T would save $50 on every 800, )" he
protested. "You will save the whole
lO9 by not paying" was the prompt re-
ioinder.

lately held that it was not necessary to

o'clock adjourned tin tomorrow
morning. The first Business transacted
was to admit new delegates not present
ut the General Assembly. No assembly
was permitted TO be represented not re-
presented at that convention. General
Master Workman Povderly made IN
extemporaneous address in which be
referred 10 the order and its re
markable growth, Its strikes and
boycotts. He advised calmness and
righteousness in all actions of
delegates. Standing committees were
then appointed on laws, strikes,
boycotts. and the relation of the order
to all other orders. Special committees
were appointed on the addresses OF the
Women's Christian Temperance Union
and also on the speech of Edward
Morton, of Chicago. who. at yesterdays
meeting suggested the Manufacturers
Union, 70 give all committees chance
to get work. The convention adjourned
and the remainder of the day Will be
devoted to committees. A plan Is on
foot to call in all commissions of pres
ent organizers, reissue some and drop
others. The injudicious conduct oil
many organizers, it is thought. has
caused the order great deal Of trouble.

The Republicans of Brighton made
a most excellent choice in selecting Mr..
q. NJ. Mansur as their standard bearer
in the approaching contest for Town
Representative. lie is the embodi-
nent of those principles which best
represent the theories of true R9publ-
can government, and is worthy the
confidence reposed in him. If elected,
the interests of good and true legisla-
lation win find in him strong sup
port. The work, however, of the Re-
publicans was not completed at the
primary meeting last Wednesday, nor
will it be until Mr.. Mansur is declared
elected and to this end all honorable
means should be adopted to secure to
him, and the party he represents, a
decisive victory. See to it then that
this is accomplished.
