well washed, and with $4,000 in his pockets,
was arrested in Chicago, the other day, on

A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune,

A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune,
writing of Washington. says: There have
been and still are some peculiar conditions
in the Federal City. A border town as be-
tween the north and south, it has always
been more southern than northern Its
architecture, its tradesmen, it's men OF
affairs, their methods and traditions. were
all southern. That means that it was a
slow, shiftless town." That is Islander
against the southern people, who are both
energetic and enterprising. The south has
furnished New York with some of her best
and most successful business men--men
who have held their own against the sharp
est northerners on Wall street There are
plenty more of the same sort in the south.

A DEoKHAND BUT A HERO.
How One of the Hanna's Crew Faced
Death to Save Scores of Others.


Death to Save Scores of Others.
New ORLEANS. Dec 26.-The story of many
acts of heroism on the part Of the crew of the
steamer John H. Hanna. which was burned near
Plaquemine yesterday, are being told to-day by
the survivors who were brought here. One
story makes James Givens the hero of the occa-
sion. Givens was one of the crew. When the
steamer touched the bank and founded away
and pilot Jolles left the wheel and sprang over
board, Givens quickly realized that the saliva
ton of all on board depended upon the Hanna
being brought back to the bank. At this time
the pilot house was surrounded by the flames.
Nothing .daunted, the brave fellow sprang to
the wheel, brought the steamers head again to
the bank, and IN order to keep her there locked
the wheel in the proper position. While he was
doing this the fire swept over the pilot house,
and he was imprisoned by the flames, which had
already severely burned him.
10 escape it was necessary to push through
the wall of fire surrounding him. Givens made
a dash for the side of the steamer, and al
though frightfully burned, succeeded in reach
ing 1t. Although moving mass of fire, he did
not lose his presence OF mind, but jumped into
the river and struggled TO the bank, where he
was pulled out cruelty burned and exhausted
from his efforts He was taken TO the hospital
In the city and died in few hours.

While good many republican statesmen
have been once to see Gen. Harrison, Sena-

probability is that he will be deluged with
letters from office-seekers, asking him to use
his influence in their behalf There is
always something TO prevent man from
being altogether happy.
