The Conductors Turn Game at Last.

guying the conductor, or left il without rails

mems expense. Yesterday, however, he ar
rived late at the station and barely in time to
swing on without ticket. He had just caught
his breath after seating himself with the usual
daily crowd of fellow-travelers, when the
conductor appeared.
'Havn't got any ticket" began the joker, in
his usual vein, and the crowd awaited its daily
guy.
"All right; give me fifty cents" responded
the official.
Never carry anything so small" and the
traveller picked out $50 bill, but did not pass
1t up.
Make out your receipt first" he contin-
ued; Pm all business to-day" Then as the
receipt WAS duly punched out, he took il and
began long and labored inspection of it, still
holding on to hls $40 bill. at the same time

nuous questions Engine all right? Air brakes
or hand-brakes? Newsboy chained? Any re-
bate on this ticket: Punched it all you want

ductor began 10 tire Of the business, the funny
man handed over his $50 bill and suddenly
drew II back. adding "One question more: Is
this through train" Bet your life" re-
pied the conductor taking the bill: ''and

and deliberately moving away its through

CAPTURED BY BONIPIRTE.
Bell Taken In the Alps Campaign Now in
Paterson, ~. j.

When Napoleon l. in behalf of France
carried war to Switzerland he found in one Of
the Cantons there an ancient convent. Dur
Ing the course of the war this convent was de-
stroyed and the bell that hung in its tower
was carried of as trophy by the conquerer.
The bell was al that time reputed TO be several
hundred years old 1t was cast of copper and
silver. The silver according 10 tho custom Of
the times. was contributed by the peasants Of
the Canton, who believed that their prayers
and prospects concerning worldly and
heavenly affairs would be improved in accord
ance with their sacrifices. Napoleon carried
the bell with him 10 France and retained il as
a priced curiosity until his downfall and
Punishment to st. Helena. when he gave il TO
his brother Joseph Bonaparte. who, likewise
being banlshed, brought the old relic TO
America and hung it in the bel
fry at his home in BordentQwn.
There 1t remained, servingas dinner bell on
the farm, its history remaining unknown until
Joseph's recall from exile. Then II was lost
sight OF and for years forgotten until one day
some curiosity-seekers rummaging about IN
one OF the subterranean passages that honey
cOmbed the place came across II IN some old

visit the so-called catacombs and see the his

rival and departure of trains 1t hung there
for years, but finally, through some channel
or other. it fell into the hands of the Paterson
and Hudson River Railroad Company and
was destined 10 another period OF obscurity.
At that time the company operated its road
by horses. and the old bell was hung in the
jersey City station at the foot of Bergen hill

AN HONEST MAN Is THE NOBLEsT
WORK OF GOD.'-If any new evil
dence were wanting TO satisfy the
people OF the United States that Gro.
YER Cleveland Is q thoroughly hon.
e-t and thoroughly courageous man,
his recent avowals before the anti.
silver club in New York furnishes
that evidence. The tariff mes sage Of
Dir. Cleveland was not only brave
and honest act but a self,sacrificing
one; but at that time Mr. Cleveland
had almost the unanimous support OF
his party upon that Issue. In this
case, the situation is about reverted /;
with this further significant fact, that
large minority Of the republican
party. especially in the South and
West is in accord with the democracy
on the question OF the liberation OF
silver. Whether Mr.. Cleveland 10

school N which he grew up, or is un.
consciously rejecting his environ.
ments or whether he has given This
question thst careful and painstaking
investig cation which Is his habit, no
one of his former admirers will doubt
for a moment his good faith aud
perfect honesty. II may turn out 10
the end, that Mr. Cleveland and those
democrats and republicans who Think
with him are right; but that change
in the public mind, necessary to bring
a maj rity OF the people to the en-
dorsement Of his views, will surely not
come before 1892.
1t may be that Mr.. Cleveland does
not want the nomination In 1892 (;
some suppose that 70 be true. But
be that as it may. MT. Cleveland would
have perhaps dore just what be has.
IL is not worth while 10 disguise
the fact that Mr. Cleveland hss, an
necessarily, we think, placed bis party
in an unpleasant situation. Mr..
Cleveland Was thought 10 be stronger
than his party perhaps be was out
certainly not infinitely stronger. The
question that now conifOnts IA Is,
shall or will the party go TO Mr..
Cleveland We cannot conceive that
II will. We are sorry to say that our
only Interpretation of the situation 10,
that il is q rupture between Cleveland
and his party. We cannot tell what
day may bring FORTH" the people
may change greatly before 1892; but
We have always understood that the
day Of miracles 10 past We shall
zee what We shall see. The silver
question, like Banquos' ghost will
