dacity 50 monstrous that the recollection OF
it even now enchains my attention and re

Of five or six had gathered in the parloi
after dinner, and, after running gamut OF
other subjects, the conversation had turned
upon newspapers. Among other things.
it is my youthful friends duty to clip from
the Exchanges" every day column of wit

publication, under suitable headline in his
paper next morning. 1t was with happy
knowledge Of this IN view that one of the
company. bright and attractive girl, inter.

quoth she, s'how can you possibly find the
ideas to write whole column of those
funny paragraphs every dayi'' The young
man wfnked stealthily at me and responded:
"0h, IT'S very simple, assure you. I lust
light my pipe, put my heels on the desk and
think hard for five minutes. Then the
ideas come, and generally manage to write
the whole column In about three-quarters
OF an hour The young lady was duly i'm

It's always the name of some other paper,

any paper happen to think OF at the end of
each paragraph, 50 as TO add a little diver

The young lady was perfectly satisfied and
accepted the explanation Ia the best OF
faith. A veteran journalist who was pres

Senator Cullom met q newspaper man
here to-day, writes Q Washington CORE
spondent, who recalled to his mind Gu
rious incident Of the National convention q
1880, in which both took part. Cullom was
then Governor Of Illinois, and the news
paper man was keeper Of one Of the inner
doors at the convention When they met
the newspaper man remarked:
Senator, you may not remember it, but
you owe me debit
"How is thattr asked the Senator.
"Do you remember the young man that
got You into the convention one day in 1SS0fi
''Why, OF course do; you are not the
young man, are youi II you are do owe
you debt, sure enough
Tho conversation brought out the Incl
dent Governor Cullom forgot his ticket
one day, and, when he told the outer door
keeper that he was Governor of the State
the man would not believe him. Governor
Cullom affected the hayseed in his manners
and dress in those days. He insisted on
being let in, and, finally, the guard consent
ed to take him as far as the inner door,
There he presented him 10 the young door
keeper, saying;
"Here's fellow who says he's Shelby
Cullom; don't take any stock in him, but
il you're mind to let him in you can do
it."
The Governor took the matter good
naturedly, and assured the door-keeper that
he really was Shelby Cullom.
There's q lot Of fellows that come here
with Just such stories as that every day,n
said the door-keeper. ''If you're Governor
Cullom you ought to have a ticket.n
After some arguing, however, the door.
keeper said: "rll tell you what I'll do: You
come inside and III tell you mighty Quick
whether you're fraud or not.''
The Governor said all right, and followed
the young man to the platform. When they
were where they could get good look at
the people sitting there the door-keepei

Before the Governor had time to pick out

AN ENGINEERS NERVE.

Voter ans Sometimes Show the Vicar ana
Tear Of Railroading.
"One Of the most trying moments of
rum" said an old railroad engineer to New
York Sun reporter the other day, /" is
when we pull into big railroad center, like
Jersey City, at night There is, Of course,
perfect labyrinth of tracks and switches,
the lights are innumerable and confusing,
and, as certain rate of speed must be pre-
served, about all we can do is to go it blind.
or course, we keep close lookout forward,
and have the train under full control, but it
Is due more to the efficiency of the switch
board than to our ability to avert them that
accidents are not more frequent
The writer was aboard an express train
on the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio
road not long ago, pulling into Salamanca.
We were spinning along at good rate,
when gradually the train slowed up, until
the decrease of speed was very perceptible.
A brakeman sat near, and to him it was re-
marked that there seemed to be "a heavy
grade along here"
"Oh, no." he replied, glancing carelessly
out OF the window; "this is good enough
track; the engineer has got one or his nerv-
Gus fits on.''
continued; HE is one Of the oldest men on
the road, and be has more than once proved
himself fearless in moments Of actual dan
ger. For the last six months, though, he
has been so nervous he is hardly fit TO run
train. We are always late now on his run;
he slows down on good tracks like this,
jerks up the train at the slightest curve,
and is in just the condition Of mind and
nerve to bring about the very disaster he
fears. He'll have to lay OF soon. It's
common enough thing. s'pose it's the
strain Of years Of irregular hours and con-
slant anxiety when on duty"
The writer left the train at Salamanca, and
walking forward took look at the man at the
lever. He was tall and spare, with iron
gray locks and chin whiskers; his face was
rather pale. As the signal to start was
given he pulled the throttle, and, straining
his eyes ahead, while his face took on set,
anxious expression, stood motionless, and
was thus borne away out Of sight, picture
of the martyr he doubtless was to his pain
ful emotions.

Celebration.
The people of Norwalk held special
celebration in honor of the Fourth at
Sprouts Grove. DIR. s. G. Baker served
as President of the day, and L. M. Grider
and E. A. Poyorena acted as Marshals.

band, selection, Home, Sweet Home;" sing
ing. by children, America"
The orator of the day, Mr.. II. w.
Latham, is a we'll known young attorney
of this city. 1t his grafton he traced the
growth OF the Anglo'SaX sentiment Oh
liberty, from its dawn in the Magma
Charta to it's consummation in the Dec
laration OF Independence. He referred
to the burning of Norwalk, Connecticut,
which took place just ITO years ago, to-
ward the close of the Revolutionary war,
and illustrated the steadfast spirit OF the
patriots of that era. The effort was we'll
received by the large audience. The
other participants in the programme ac-
quilted themselves excellently. After
the literary exercises there was grand
barbecue, which had been prepared fol
1900 people. Two beeves, nine sheer
and seven pigs were cooked whole for the
hungry multitude. The Norwalk Horri
bles turned out in the afternoon and Gre
ated good deal of amusement. The
committee of arrangements for the day
consisted of j. Swigart, j. V. Dilley, S

Mr.. G. H. Mulholland, who defeated
Billy Manning, returned to the city on
Monday last, and only learned yesterday
of the injustice that had been done him
on the occasion of Manning's benefit.
In relation to the matter he made the
following statement: Before l went
into training for my battle with Man
ming, he met my trainer and told him
that he would beat me in three or six
rounds, easy, and after my defeat
could take a benefit, and would have a
good house. He would come and spar
with me il would give him half the
house. The tables were turned. hap
pened to come out the winner. told

The CIaudtus Affair.

A few days ago the telegraph an
nounced that Mrs. Claudius, OF this city,
had been arrested in Chicago on charge
of stealing a pair of stockings. Since
then it has been ascertained that Mr..
and Mrs. Claudius are quite we'll known
here, and that they own couple of
houses on Ellis avenue, as we'll as their
residence at Santa Monica. Those who
know Mrs. Claudius say that she is. a
very modest and retiring lady, and they
don't believe that there was any founda-
ton for the charge made against her; in
fact they regard her treatment as out
rageous. She and her husband are ex-
pected back in about month.
