THERE is disconsolatc orator in the
Ohio Legislature 1t is Senator Geyser,
who permitted a newspaper correspond
ent to take the copy of speech which
he intended to deliver. The correspond
emit failed to return the copy, and when
the question came up the Senator could
not make his speech. He found out,
however, that it was filed at the tele-
graph Office as dispatch. The man
ager refused to give it up. Going to
Justices court, Geyser procured writ
of replevin, When the constable served
it he was told by the manager to go to
the operating room and take the prop
erty. The speech was in the hands of
dozen different operators, and the
constable, not being able to identify
the copy, went away without it.

Friday we visited Governor Hill at
Albany and tried to mould the policy
of the state. He spoke kindly of other
things but said he was doing his own
moulding almost entirely. Governor
Hill has his Office in the new Capitol
building and it is swept out before he
comes down each day. He has a pri-
vate office in which he does his execu-
tive work and then there is large
general office where he appears when
encored by the populace and where he
bows and tries to look pleasant when
paved over by strangers, for instance,
who have just visited Niagara and then
desire to scrutinize the governor OF
New York.
He has cold, calm eye with which
he encouraged me to forget some bright
and bon homme things which had
thought of saying to him. | had in
tended to chirk him up with few
buoyant thoughts of which / am the

Governor Hill is one of our most es.
teemed coterie of bald headed men.
He represents the Better element OF
Democracy, which though bald, scorns
to comb its back hair up over the
place. He stands for candor and
honesty at the polls.
Some say that resemble him little,
but people who have seen us together
talking over the future of our common
country, say that they can readily dis.
tinguish the governor from me. His
figure is more commanding than mine
and his carriage is more graceful and
has redder wheels than mine. When

Made a Haul.

Dubuque q Qowa) Herald, JAM 8.
1t was rumored on the streets yes.
terday tl.at one OF the capital prizes o.
The Lou siana State Lottery had beer
drawn by parties in this city and n re-
porter for the Herald was detailed tc
run down the rumor. We found the
report to be genuine. The lucky
ticket was held by Mr.. Thomas Allen,
of Kopsa & Allen, the merchant tailors
of 1880 Clay Street, and brother oi
the junior member OF the firm. The
ticket was numbered 43, OS5 and was

men richer to the extent of S., 900, or,
if divided, $4,000 to each. The money
was collected through the German
Trust and Savings Bank OF this city
and was received here in due season,
arriving as welcome New Years gift
to two deserving young men.
When our reporter dropped in at

Allen was averse to divulging any OF
the particulars OF his remarkable luck,

would say.
We visited the Falls on the day of
the blizzard which wrecked Reading
and which wound up by tipping the
Suspension foot bridge at Magyar. into
the river below. The Falls have been
visited in summer and in winter, in the
broad glare of day and the soft and
mellow moonlight, but very few peo-
pie have gone there during a blizzard.
The day broke moist and measly at
Buffalo but at noon the gray and chop
py clouds scattered a little and u patch
OF sky could now and then be discov-
cred. Eating hasty meal, our party,
arrayed in alpenstocks and conscious
rectitude, began the ascent, from Buf-
falo by n circuitous route. We reach
ed Niagara Falls station whence we
proceeded by drosky to our chalet.
Here we alighted The chalet is kept
by a native American and after our
long journey from Buffalo it was good
to once more hear the music of our
own language. Hastily eating light
lunch, we put on our top coats and in
charge of John Darm we proceeded
by diligence toward the Fall via the
American side.
The storm now burst upon us in all
its fury and the rain descended in the
widest profusion, saturating the Falls
and rendering them well nigh impas-
sible. Our muleteer covered himself
with his pontoon, wrapped his Tarpau-
lin around his ears and while our slen-
dor diligence swayed in the blast, he
drove us acrossed to Goat Island. The
