The Pardon Came Too Late.

Ahu LOO lsht6
Among the squad of penltentiary con-
victs working on the railroad near Car
thage, N. c., was John Young,a negro.
He was sentenced to seven years for stealing.
He always maintained that he was innocent
and had made persistent efforts to secure Il
pardon He had served three years and had
given up all hope of executive clemency. He
had been good prisoner and never attempted
to escape The other day he made dash for
liberty and was shot down by the guard. He
was carried to the quarters and the physician
found that the ball had gone through his lungs.
When the mail arrived from Raleigh the cap
tain OF the guard went in to see John. He had
large official envelope in his hand. Showing
the dying man the paper he said.
John, here is your pardon that Gov Carr
has sent YOU"
John took the paper with the great gilt seal
In his hand and murmured: why didn't IL

He gaspcd, the life blood ebbed from his lips
and he was dead.

Is there no end to the follies of men ex-
cited by politics? Apparently not, for
since the result Of the late election was
known it has transpired that in every city
in the country many hundred thousand
dollars have changed hands. The pawn
brokers have enjoyed "A wonderful increase
Of business, both in the line Of new pledges
and Of old ones redeemed by lucky win.
ners. And yet neither Cleveland nor Har-
rison is popularity supposed to be the sub
Ject for that sort oil enthusiasm. Henry
Clay was the man for that. He not only
did n great deal OF betting himself, but cX-
cited betting among his supporters.
Scores Of his ardent admirers swore to
never have hair or beard cut till their be-
loved Harry of the West" was elected
president, and many of them kept their
vow. Only "A few years ago met one OF
these too enthusiastic gentlemen at Har-
risburg, and, singularly enough, he was
there as a local leader in Democratic
convention. His hair, originally auburn
and fine as silk, was of beautiful ashes
Of roses color and hung down his back in
schoolgirl braids His beard, little
purer white than his hair, was some two
feet long and the softest and finest | ever
saw. Neither had then been touched by
razor or scissors for nearly forty years.
Horace Greeley long maintained that the
defeat OF Clay in 1874 was largely due to
the concerted action Of New York sports"
and others who had wagered heavily on
Polk. Another bet to attract national at
tention was that Of the sanitary sack Of
four" the story of which is so well told by
Mark Twain in his "Roughing It." Mr..
Gridley, who first won the sack, made out
cry on the streets of Virginia City, New,
II will now sell this sack of flour at auc-
tion for the benefit OF the sanitary com
mission" The whole mining region went
wild over it. Nevada towns contended for
the honor of bidding highest, and rival
contestants almost came to blows. 1t went
from city to city escorted by professions
with bands and flags, and the sum realized
for the great war charity was enormous.
The bet, however, was the smallest part of
the history of the sanitary sack"
The biggest New York bet yet reported
In the wheeling line is that of James X.
O'Connor, of Utica, who has to wheel n
barrel Of apples from that city to New
York, having bet with Theodore w. Brit
ish that the state would give Cleveland
$1,000 plurality. The odd fact is that Mr..
O'Connor cast his first Democratic vote
this year, having served two terms in the
assembly as a Republican. He guessed
within eight votes OF the result in his own
county, and altogether beats "Old Prob" as
a political prognosticator, but a Demo
cratic "slumn" in.two counties caused him

wife Of the proprietor of the National ho-

there is talk OF blood. Another attempt Ia

There is II woeful lack of originality in
those election bets which are sufficiently
out OF the common to attract attention.
One reads over and over again Of the win
ner in a wheelbarrOw and the loser at the
handles, Of the loser peddling apples, or
grinding hand organ, or tramping so
many hours on certain block without
saying 4 word, or shaving one side only Of
his face, or wearing some ridiculous article
OF costume. on doing some other silly thing
which hundred OShers had done before,
aud which wasn't funny at the start.

theless married an honest man named Ed
Miller. He enlisted in the Union army
early in the war, and that was the last she
ever heard Of him. She afterward married
Doyle,a well known thief, who died five
years ago. So far as her record is known
she has committed but one class of crime
sneak thieving-and has always been found
with the same implements of her work,
a chisel and bunch of skeleton keys. An
other feature of her career is that every
offense she has been charged with was
committed during some public excitement.
Her first appearance in Elizabeth was
thirty years ago, when she sneaked into a
room of hotel just when an exciting
piece OF war news was being discussed and
stole n box of slverware She was SEN
fenced to three years imprisonment for
that, but only served fourteen months.
The day after Lincoln's assassination a
Harrisburg bank lost a box containing
s. 900 in greenbacks and $1,000 in govern
ment bonds The theft was committed
while the excitement over the news from
Washington was so intense that business
was practically suspended A woman was
seen to enter the bank and loiter about the
counters, apparently listening TO the ex-
citing news received and discussed. When
she left the bank the cashbox was gone.
1t was never recovered. Mary Doyle con-
fessed to Chief Tenney that she took that
box A considerable part of it went as
forfeited bail for the crooks she befriended.
Her biggest haul was the theft of $4,000
in bonds. face value" which she supposed
to be of the United States. They proved
to be ''Fenian bonds" and she has hated
the Irish ever since. Her detail of prison
life is monotonous. Again and again has
she been condemned for short terms, and
always went at once to stealing as soon as
released. She remains in prison al Eliza
beth awaiting trial, and the story goes that
publisher has offered her 81 900 for the
story Of her life.
