A Clergyman Mt the Theater.

From the Concord IN. HI Monitor.
One Of the Oldest, best-tnown, and most
highly-respected clergymen of this state was for
many years settled in a state farther west. After
returning to New Hampshire he made prac-
tice of visiting his old congregations OCCASION
ally. taking vacation Of two or three weeks for
the purpose. On his way west on one OF these
visits he stopped over in Boston and went to
see Edwin Booth in one of his Shakesperian
parts. He then finished his trip and return ,ng
home, was surprised to fad all his society up in
arms because he hal been to the theater. It
ended in his resigning, and in an explanatory
address he stated the case as follows: "On my
way out west | stopped in Boston and went to
see Edwin Booth. and enjoyed it very much,
but by the time I reached New York the event
had completely slipped from my mind / Wis
tied in several cit es, and never once thought
OF Booth. made my journey home in lie s.
urely manner, stopping over with friend here
and there, and that I had bnen to see Booth
never once entered my mind / had COM
pletely forgotten the occurrence; but when I
got home rem. 'mbered it." Thi- same clergy
maa was once asked to stump the state by the
chairman of one of the state commuters and
responded thus: When 1 get ready to make
an ass OF myself. going up and down this state
making political speeches, will let you know
and give you the first chance to secure my
services

HE LEARNED A LESSON.
A Young Virginian Swindled Out Of
$75 by u Confidence Man.

8. H. Reynolds is the name Of Q handsome
young virginian from Pittsylvania county. He
arrived in town yesterday afternoon and made
the acquaintance Of an elegant old gentleman
who said that his name was Cowherd The old
gentlman learned where the countryman was
from, but after pumping" the virginian he
came to the conclusion that the latter had no
money and ''shook" him. He was mistaken in
his idea that the countryman had no money,
for he had nearly 600 in his pocket
The gentleman" proved to be o confidence
man and good luck followed him. Despite the
fact that he ''shook" the virginian the latter
again turned up later in the afternoon and was
played to the tune of S75. This time they met
near the Baltimore and Potomac depot and the
Virginian approached Cowherd. They walked
together several squares. COwherd was ac-
quainted with all of the virginian's neighbors,
and. as usual, he was going there on the train
with Reynolds. They had not walked many
squares before Cowherd met a young man
named Turner. Turner requested loan of
s75 from Cowherd, but as he only had a check
in his pocket he could not make the loan.
Reynolds was then appealed to for the loan
until they should reach the depot. He did not
hesitate to accommodate his newly-made ac-
Qnaintance and
COUNTED OUT THE SO.
Then Cowherd said something about giving
him receipt. This assured the unsuspecting
countryman of the strangers good faith. and
he did not care to trouble him for a receipt.
Reynolds was then told to go down to the depot,
where Cowherd's wife was waiting. He ex-
planned that she had on a black silk Dress but
Reynolds thought that he might mistake some
one else for her.
But my lame son is with her." added Cow
herd, land you can't mistake him."
Reynolds went to the depot He was unable
to find the woman or her son. but he remained
there some time expecting to see Cowherd enter.
Even then he did not suspect anything wrong,
but when he related what had taken place he
was told to go to police headquarters. Still he
did not believe that Cowherd was a dishonest
man, and only went to see Inspector Swindell
after being told to do SO several times. When
he reported what had taken place between
them, and the inspector characterized the man
Cowherd as thief, Reynolds was astonished.
He said he did not want the gentleman's feel
ings hurt, nor did he want him him accused of
being dishonest. He left the inspectors Office,
saying that he would 60 down to the depot and
see him (Cowherd) 60 through the gate. He
has not yet arrived at the outer door. The
Virginian learned lesson that may serve
to protect him in the future.

HydrOphObia,

From the London Times.
A parliamentary paper has been issued con-
tanning a return Of the cases of British subjects
treated for hydrophobia or rabies by NJ. Pasteur
during the last two years. The statistics given
in the return are translated from table sup
piled by NJ. Pasteur from the records of the
Pasteur Institute. The return shows that in
1887 therewere sixty British subjects treated
at the Pasteur Institute. OF these five died,
viz: Lord Doneraile, who was sixty-seven years
Of age, whose limbs we're bitten in ten places,
whose wounds were not cauterized, and whose
injuries were received from a dog recognized to
be rabid by a veterinary surgeon; John Hag-
den, aged eight years, another victim, was bit
ten four times in the head by dog recognized
to be rabid by the experimental test; he was
not cauterized, and he died from rabies during
treatment six days after being bitten; Martin
Cahill, aged thirty, not cauterized; Albert Kirk
ham, aged five, and Frederick Indy, aged
twenty-five, both cauterized, but all three bit
ten by animals recognized to be rabid died
each within one month after being bitten. In
the year 1888 NJ. Pasteur had twenty-one British
subjects under his care. No deaths occurred
among them, but one a woman named Hermit
ME Periodic, who was bitten on the I'd of De-
cember last by dog recognized as rabid. is
still undergoing treatment.

To Revive the Greenback Party.
A PROPOSED NATIONAL CONVENTION TO BE HE'LL
IN SEPTEMBER.

PROPOSED NATIONAL CONVENTION TO BE HELD
IN SEPTEMBER.
At the closing session last evening of the
greenback conference, at Willard hall, a reso-
luton. offered by J. d. Porter. of Charlottes-
vile, Va, was adopted declaring ''that it is the
duty Of the present administration to purchase
for coinage four million dollars worth of silver
bullion per month under the act of February
90. 1878; and that it is the duty of Congress, at
the next session and without delay, to provide
for the full use of both gold and silver as money
according to the ratio Of the two metals now
established by law"
Mr.. George o. Jones, from the committee
appointed to prepare an address, reported one,
which was adopted follows: ''For the pur-
pose OF restoring the grand old national green
back party to its place in the good opinion of
the people; for the purpose of removing the
slime and filth brought on the good names of
its founders; for the purpose of securing the
passage of laws which will enable American
farmers to make the price Of their own pro-
ducts, instead OF having them made by those
who would become bankrupt or starve without
them; for the purpose of building an American
merchant marine to distribute American pro-
ducts under the American flag; for the purpose
Of establishing financial policy that will make
ours the strongest and most prosperous govern
mentandpeople in the world, and Infinitely make
republicans and free men throughout the whole
world, we ask those VINO are Wiling to sever
their connection with all all other parties and
factions, and henceforth act with the national
greenback party, to communicate with the
chairman Of the national greenback committee,
with view to a thorough reconstruction of
that party throughout the whole country.
Your committee do not consider this the time
nor place to issue declaration of principles for
the national greenback party, but to leave that
to the national convention to be held at Cincin-
natl, Ohio, September IL. 1889. We regret that
President Harrison did not indicate his future
policy on financial questions. When he does so
we shall deal with it as national greenbackers-
on its merits"

The Thermometer Fell.

From the Brooklyn Eagle
lady boarded car 212 of the Franklin ave-

stove. A gentleman was with her. After rid
ing block she told her escort that the heat of
the car was unbearable, and, at her suggestion,
they moved nearer to the door. passenger
soon got on, and the conductor, coming in to
collect his fare, she asked him to open a venti-
lator. He did SO, politely. Soon the lady
raped on the door with her umbrella.
"Please turn the damper in the stove" said
she.
Certainly, madam" said the conductor,
and the damper was turned.
In few minutes the lady began tanning her
self vigorously with a hymn book, and re-
marked that conductors didn't seem to have
any judgment about heating cars"
At this juncture the conductor re-entered the
car for another fare, and the lady said, with
asperity:
Conductor, wish You would leave that
door open. The heat from that stove Is posi-
lively depressing
II am sorry to say so, madam, but there has
been no fire in that stove to-day" said the con-
ductor, and the thermometer instantly fell
