he Waen,t the Porter.

A funny incident occurred on a north. bound
Mobile and Ohio train, says the St. Louis Re
public. On the train we're lot of newspaper
men, sporting men and others. and notably Ed.
Rothery, who runs a large saloon in Omaha.
Rothery is Of a swarthy complexion, and looks
particularly dark under the dim religious light
of a car. He was seated on the porter's chair
at the head of car, when a KentucKian entered,
and, addressing him gruffly. said:
Here, where's my berth!n
Don't know"
well. why don't you str around and find
outs"
Don't have to-"
you don't, Ell! Well-say, you're the porter.
amt your"
mo. I'm not the porter - said Robbery, rising
to his feet and drawing his form up to its full
hight. I'm prize fighter from New Orleans,
and can knock your eye out"
The Kentuckian was profuse in his apologies,
and, backing down the car, eventually found
tie real porter and secured his berth.

Bulkelev Called a Usurper.

Connecticut is practically without gov
ernor. Mr.. Buckley is attempting 10 dis
charge the duties Of governor. but the
upper branch of the legislature. which is
democratic, refuses to recognize him He
was the governor. but his successor was
elected at the last election. The lower
branch OF the legislature refuses TO recog-
nize his successor, who is a democrat, and
Mr.. Buckley insists that he is governor
until his successor is regularly inaugurated.
There were three gubernatorial candi
dates at the last election. According to the
Connecticut law a majority Of all the votes
cast is necessary to elect a governor, or any
other state officer. The state canvassing
board made return which showed that the
democratic candidate for governor had re-
ceived a majority of all the votes
cast. The lower branch of the
legislature. which is republican, re-
fused to accept the return OF that board.
IL appointed a committee to hunt up evil
dence upon which to declare the return in
correct, and thus throw the election for
governor into the legislature. The COM
mittee performed this work, and made a
report that there had been no election by
the people. The upper branch of the legis-
lature refused TO accept this report, and
also refuses to acknowledge Mr.. Bulkeley's
right to continue to discharge the duties of
governor.
For weeks the legislature has been in
session, but it has done no business, and
there is no immediate prospect of its doing
any. The democratic members believe
they are right in the position they have
taken, and they are sustained by all right
thinking men not only in Connecticut, but
elsewhere. The purpose of the republicans
is TO steal the governorship. either by
having Mr.. Buckley to hold over or by
having a governor elected by the legisa-
ture.
There was stormy time in the lower
branch Of the legislature Wednesday. The
leader Of the democrats asserted that Mr..
Bulkeley was an Intruder" and "usurper,"
and the republicans undertook to discipline
him. They did not accomplish their object.
however. They were afraid to proceed to
extremes.
What the outcome of the trouble will be
it is impossible to say with any degree of
certainty. The democrats appear to be de-
termined to maintain their position. 1t is
to be hoped they will They have right on
their side and ought to prevail

Remarkable Poker Game.

There recently diedfn Chicago an old negro
named Joe Ovens At the time of his death he
was head bellmau at the Leland hotel in that
city. Years age, when Tweed was in his glory,
Joe was employed IN the Deiavan in this city
There used TO be some heavy poker playing in
that hotel during those lively times, and
Tweed's room was generally the headquarters
of the game. Joe was great favorite with
Tweed, as indeed he was With most of the
high rollers" at the capital Tweed had Joe
| made the special guardian of his ROOM and no
one could ever get in there If Jee said no.
Tae old darby happened to step into the
apartment one evening when more than or
binary big game was IN progress. In front of q
man named Shepard was stack of chips repre-
sentinR $4,000. Joe was an iAveterate poker
player himself in those days, he and the other
colored boys having game going on most of
the time in their quarters, and when he saw that
great heap Of money his eyes fairly bulged out
of his head.
Fob de Lawd but wish 1 was in dat ar
game, said Joe, with gasp. A thought came
| to MIR. Shepard. He sent Joe down stairs on
some errand, and during his absence 'cold
deck" was run in and fixed for the darky 8
special benefit. When Joe came back Mr.
Shepard asked him to play a hand or two for
him while he went out. Joe, with his heart
beating high, took the seat and began to play.
When two or three hands had been passed Joe
was startled at getting four aces. He trembled
all over; but Just then Mr.. Shepard returned,
and looking over his shoulder, said, go for
them, Joe; go for them" Joe did go for them.
Every body but Tweed dropped out Of the game.
| He kept on raising, while Joe, encouraged by
Mr.. Shepard, raised him every time until the
darky had piled the S., 900 in the centre OF the
table
Then Tweed called him. says the Albany En-
press, and Joe, bis eyes fairly cleaning with
wild excitement threw down his four aces,
| while he reached for the money, saying,
What you got dab, Massa Tweed?"
down.
"Fo' aces!" cried Joe. "Fo' acesl Fore de
Lawd. Massa Tweed, how can you hab TO-
aces?"
The gamblers had had their fun aud had seen
Joe excited. They were ready to go on with
their own game, so Shepard showed 500 bill
into Joe's hands and thrust him out into the
hall, saying; Get out Of here, you black
scamp; you talk about playing poker, and you
don't know there are eight aces in poker deck;
get out"
hundred dollars at any other time would
have made Joe supremacy happy, but dazed
with the big play he had just been having aud
knocked out by the result. he forgot his wealth
In bis abject misery and modification.

In its current number the Financial
Chronicle makes an exhibit of financial
figures which will prove surprising to many
people who do not give such matters con-
slant attention. For example, it shows that
the banking capital of the city of Boston is
$5l, 100000, and that of New York
city only s49, 800 900. just So OOO, 900 less. 1t
shows that the banking capital of Chi,
cago is SIG. 100, 600, while that of
the whole state of Illinois, outside of Chi
cagh, Is but SIS, 545, 300. In Ohio the total
bank capitalization outside of Cincinnati
and Cleveland is SOS, 900 900; in the former
city it is $780, OoO in the latter. 81, $50, 0OO
In Boston the individual deposits are $780,

Claiming a remnant of the alabama

graph in an American newspaper would
certainly be rather a droll proceeding for
the grave and always serious British gov
eminent. As likely as not the statement
might be a fake sensation of some ''enterpris-
ing metropolitan" reporter. or it might be
joke. And it is we'll known that John
Bull doesn't know a joke when he sees one

One of the first fruits of ocean racing is
realized in the wreck of the Italian bark
run down in New York bay by an Atlantic
liner which did not even stop to pick up the
drowning people it had thrown into the

not appear to disturb the Havel's officers at
all Still they should be called to O rigid
account when they return to port. Rather
bad beginning for the latest acquisition to
the North German Lloyd feet on her first

also attach an additional significance to the
fact that the sunken bark was called the
Mascotta, and was making her first trip.
Wrecking mascot in that way will alarm

A Lively Postmastership Contest.

The office of postmaster of Beaufort, s. c.,
is giving the President and the Postmaster
General good deal of trouble 1t isn't a
very big office, but the fight for the privi-
lege of naming the postmaster for it is as
hot as if it paid as much as that of New
York.
Ex-Congressman and Collector of the
Port Of Beaufort Smalls has a candidate,
and so has Congressman Miller, who repre-
sents the Beaufort district. Smalls' candi-
date is George Gage, who is a white man,
and who is said to be the choice of major
ity Of the business men of Beaufort. Miller's
candidate Is NJ F. Campbell, who is a black
man, and whose chief qualification is alleged
20 be his fidelity to Miller's interests and his
activity as a republican politician.
Smalls says that his candidate Is in the
lead and that be will get the Office. Miller,
on the other hand, appears to be confident
that his influence as congressman will be
| sufficient to win the fight. He won't think
a congressman's influence counts for much
if he is not permitted to control the appoint =
ment of a postmaster to little postoffice.
Smalls is making such an aggressive fight
that the Postmaster General doesn't know
| exactly what to do, and even the President
seems to be in doubt whether he ought to
favor Smalls OF Miller. Neither the Presi-
dent nor the Postmaster General ought to
permit the matter to cause him a loss OF
sleep.
If the House had acted justly and per-
mitted Col. Elliott to retain his seat there
| hav haa hNf
the Beaufort postoffice. He would have
recommended good man for the Office. one
who would have given satisfaction TO every.
body. But what interest has either Smalls
or Miller in having good man appointed
Each of them seeks only to advance his
| political fortunes.

Enemies of the newly elected Senator
Kyle, of South Dakota, are making vigor-
Gus claim that he was not legally elected
because they say ne only got seventy-five
votes. while he needed eighty-five for a
clear majority, which they contend is neces-
sary to legal election. Should that fail
they are understood to be inclined to con-
test his election on the ground that he is not
legal citizen of the state. Neither of
these claims is supposed to be really tenable.
But they serve well as bluff if the senator
will allow himself to be bluffed. That is
not very likely.
