A Story of TiIden.

The following characteristic story of
the late Samuel ]. Tilden's grave imper-
turbability, so habitual with him, is cur
rent: On one occasion in going to the
boat at Albany with John Van Buren,, on
a beautiful moonlight night, he stepped
from the gang-plank into the water. AS
he could not swim n would have
thought that he would have called out
for help. On the contrary, he kept per-
fectly silent, and, when rescued, merely
turned to the mar who had assisted him
and said: "Thank you very much" and
afterward handsomely rewarded him.

Warnings Against Government Spies.

A Berlin correspondent, describing the
taverns freGuented by laboring men, says
that if any man not dressed As a work
man enters one of these places, he is sure
to be regarded with ill-win, founded on
the suspicion that he may be a govern
mental spy employed against the Social
lists. In some of these taverns red pla-
cards are posted warning guests to re-
frain from political discussions, and one
inn-keeper has devised al ingenious
method Of telling his regular guests when
all is safe, in his opinion, and when there
is danger. He has q large snuff-box on
the table, the lid Of which has two colors.
If the red side is turned toward the
guests, it means @all right while the
black side means caution. New York

NIGHT CAR JACK.
An Eccentric Little Dog with Very Strange
Habits

al ECccntrIC Aittie DOB WIN sSSy
Habits
Philadelphia Times
"Jack" is a fearfully dissipated little
dog. He is out with the boys every night
of his life from midnight until dawn and
he loafs and sleeps all day. He belongs to
car No. Al, which leaves the depot Of the
Chestnut and Walnut Streets Passenger
Railway Company every night as the clock
strikes twelve. He will acknowledge no
human being as his master, but his al
legiance to that old green car is answering.
According to the driver, whose name is
also Jack. this very queer little dog first ap-
peared at the depot about six months ago.
He dropped in at about supper-time, and
watched with hungry eyes the drivers and
conductors as they discussed the contents
of their tin pals. They threw him some
scraps which he quickly gobbled. up, and
wagging his tail forthwith made friends
witt, all the men. Then he waited around
until the night car started out. Of his
own free will he followed it down Chestnut
street as far as the bridge. There he stop
ped and waited until il came back again,
when he accompanied it to the depot. He
went through this programme every night
for three months, always stopping ut the
bridge. The car makes three trips nightly.
So did little Jack. About three months
ago he followed the CIR across the bridge
one night, and keeping close to the horses
he went down Chestnut street all the way
to the Front, where the car turns down 10
Walnut street. He turned down Front
street, too, and went back with No. IL to
the depot. He has done this three times
a night ever since. When he gets to tho
depot he climbs into the car and sleeps for
half an hour between trips Oh the seat.
While on duty he cannot be induced to en-
ter the car no matter what the weather
may be. He is q keen hunter and has y
scent for cats. He can run like the wind,
and a cat has to skim over the ground like
o swallow to get away from him. At the
depot, however, there are a number Of kit
tens who tumble all over Jack and plague
him TO their hearts content, and he never
growls at them.
Jack was stolen n couple days ago, but
last night he %reappear"d with n piece Of
broken rope around his neck tosiiow his old
friends that il wasn't his fault that he had
not been on duty. Why any one should
wish to purloin Jask is n mystery, rs he
maks no ~pretensions To blue blood, and his
particular combination OF breeds is never
seen ut q dog show.

friShtful. The wall began in a whisper;
it swclled to an acute pitch; it died away
in mote of woe that thrilled ones heart.
It was awful to stand there, waiting for
the sound 10 come again. My matter-of-
TACT brother spoke.
He's in good voice tonight" said he,
ayprovingly. a bi. hoarse, but don't
wonder n that. Still, l wish he try an
other KEY. He's been at this long enough.
and he might get himself tuned-hush!'

tatiun to rebuke this ill-timed levity.

waited until the ghost had finished, be-
gtD again:
All these groans are exactly alike" he
said, considering. That's odd, isn't r?'
Will, Ill tell you what. The ghosts up
the chimney" Once more the sound
came, as though to affirm his words. And
it certainly did appear to proceed from
the region Of the fireplace.
still" resumed my brother, thought
fully, a ghost in a chimney is an uncom-
Portable sort Of thing. Will, We'll have
that chimney swept. Fancy a ghost
coming down with the SCOT. Well see
about it the first thing tomorrow"
This awful threat appeared too much
for our unearthly visitor, for he gave
tongue no more that night. We went to
bed, and l dreamed that the spirit of a
chimney-sweep appeared to me and con-
fessed to the murder Of one of the little
boys, who were still employed in those
days in his profe ssion. However, l got
some sleep. l got none the previous
night.
We left the Office early in the afternoon.
We secured the services Of an intelligent
sweep and a sharp little bright-eyed boz.
The chimney was amply wide for tie
youngster to climb, and up he went We
waited in suspense.
When he came down, he reported that
he had found nothing. We questioned
him eagerly, but he had seen no ghost or
anything belonging to one. We sent him
up again. This time he found out some
thing. This chimney communicated with
the one next door.

RAILROAD FOR CURKIE.

A number of the citizens of this
place, Avoca and Fulda, went yester-
day to Worthington to meet c. w.
Irish, who is com nissioned to lay out
line of road through this country,
provided the people want it. We
think he is working in the interest of
company who have given US to un-
derstand that they would build this
line and we believe that by next July
the cars will run from Worthington,
through Fulda, Avoca and Currie to
Tracy. Railroad men all agree that
this will make a good paying line.
Daniel ROhrer told US once that our
water power alone was enough induce
ment to bring the road here.-Currie

We were present at the meeting and
at the request of the principals, did
not make definite mention Of the pro-
tect in our last issue. Now that the
Minnesotian has made the matter pub
lie, We are of course free to give the
facts to our readers. The project is
to build coal road from near Des-
Moine, Iowa, through Worthington
and across Murray county to Redwood
or Granite Falls. The scheme is one
of the best ever presented to our peo-
pie. A coal road from Des Moines
