that 1t was only visible for few seconds.

A Story About Washington.
From the Independent.

There is an unpublished story of Washington,
told me by descendant Of the ancestor who is
in the story, which represents the great general
in the pleasant family life we have all liked to
contemplate, and not as the grand man and
hero at the head of his army. 1t was when
Washington, after the revolutionary war. was
travelling through Connecticut and visited Hart
ford, staying at the Bulls tavern there. A boy
came into the kitchen Of the tavern and said:
81 want to see Gen. Washington"
The functionary on duty did not propose to
let any mere boy see Gen. Washington merely
for the asking, and said as much.
But have note for him." demonstrated
the boy.
From whom?"
my father Chief Justice Ellsworth
''Oh-well' and the functionary relented.
Gen. Washington read the note and said to the
boy: Your father invites me to dinner, l will
do more than that, will go and breakfast with
him."
And he did the next morning. And after
breakfast he took the twin sons of the Justice,
each on a knee and sang them the Derby Ram, "
an old English ballad beginning: 1T was on a
market day." and setting forth that the Ram of
Derby was SO big that the birds built nests in
the wool on his back and the butcher who
undertook to kill him was drowned in the blood

The First Districts Nominee.

Hon. Rufus E. Lester is the democratic
nominee of the First district for congress,
and, as nomination is equivalent to an
election, he will represent this district in
the next congress.
Both Capt. Gordon and Mr.. Norwood
have reason to be proud of the loyalty and
devotion of their supporters in the conven-
ton. There was no wsvering in the lines
of either until it became apparent that
neither could be nominated. The convic-
ton, also, that it was unjust to the
delegates to ask them to neglect
longer their private affairs to con-
tinue a hopeless struggle had a great
deal to do, doubtless, with breaking the
deadlock. The convention assembled a
week ago last Wednesday, and during its
session hundreds of ballots were
taken. 1t cannot be said that the delegates
were not faithful to their favorites, nor that
they did not conscientiously and earnestly
try to make nomination without going
outside of the avowed candidates.
Capt Gordon was the choice of a
very large minority Of the delegates,
who sincerely believed that he could do more
for the district than any other man who
could be nominated. His career as a bust
ness man and his record as a member of the
legislature had impressed them with the be-
lief that he would make a most efficient
congressman. Mr.. Norwood's supporters
saw no good reason why he should be super
seeded, and, believing that he had been faith
full to his trust, they were prepared to stand
by him as long as there was any hope OF his
nomination.
When the name of Mr.. Lester was pre-
sented, the convention unanimously and
heartily accepted him as solution of the
difficulty. He had not sought the nomina-
ton, but it is probable that he was the
choice of the great majority of the dele
gates from the moment it became evident
that neither of the candidates who had
participated in the campaign for the nomi-
nation could be chosen. He is deserv-
edly popular. Being a man of marked
ability and strong character, he has
made a name for himself not only in this
district, but in the state. In this county,
and particularly in other counties of this
district, no other man has more or stronger
Irlenus. An emlnent lawyer, with large
practice, the nomination means for him a
sacrifice of his private interests to serve the
public The fact that he has been
faithful to every public trust heretofore
confded to him, and these trusts have
been important ones, justifes the predic-
ton that he will serve the First district
with such zeal, earnestness, ability and
success, that the people will have no cause
to regret the deadlock which resulted in
making him the guardian of their interests
in congress

a Woman,s shrewdness.
From, Clara Bellies New York Letter.

From Clara BeteS NeU HofE Letter.
Who was it said that no woman ever invented
anything? 1t was untrue, anyhow. A woman
can be ingenious when it seems to her worth
while. A curious device for increasing the
business of a barroom has lately been put in
practice in a number of saloons. bright sill
YER dollar is glued fast to the floor in front of
the bar. A man comes in to order a drink dis
covers the coin, desires to pick it up and pocket
it without being seen, and to that end gives the
bartender bill in payment for his beverage, so
that he may have time, when that person turns
his back to make change, TO pick up the dollar
from the floor. But the bartender manages to
shorten the opportunity so much that the
man cannot stoop quickly enough to touch the
prize. So he orders another drink and tries
again. Perhaps he spends three or four times
as much as he intended to before he is able to
touch the dollar, and to find out that he cannot
detach it from the board. Then he sneaks out
quietly or laughs over the trick, and in either
case the extra patronage has been gained for the
saloon. while the dollar remains safe for further
service. But what was it that Bowery woman
did when her husband told her of the trick She
provided herself with a sharp-edged tack-puller
and made a round of all the doggeries in her
neighborhood where the dollar dodge was being
worked. She bought one glass of beer in each
place. neatly pried mp the coin while the bar
keeper was making change for her, and went on
to repeat the operation dozen times.
