Mr.. Chittenden, in his recent volume
of personal "reminiscences, records that
he saw Van Buren, at his Lindenwald
home and passed a night there, taking
dinner and breakfast with the ex-
President and his son, and he tells a
pleasing story of fine plate which a
servant placed at his place during the
dinner. Van Buren's son, "Prince
John" observing Mr.. Chittenden's in
terest in this plate, remarktd that it
had been made originally for the King
of Italy. He had purchased it in
Paris and presented it to his father,
and he added, slyly, that his father
ought to be grateful for so magnificent
gift. Indeed, am grateful, broke
in the ex-President; "perhaps more
grateful for this than for another pres

retort, promptly replied: 81 intended

Do you think 'twould be wiser Are
you sure it would pay?
Shall we make pretty Cuba
Step in and dance ssjuba."
And capture Miss Canada while she's

Kentucky is lucky
About the worlds fair;
Six barrels of whisky
She draws "bead" there;
And Texas

Shows up with a steer;
While Georgia-who hasn't a penny to

Has turned loose her 'possum
And waits for the blossom
To come on her cotton, at six cents

ABSOLUTE PURE

federal supreme court gave the presi-
dency to Mr. Hayes, and we feel that
it is due to him to say that most men
would have accepted an Office awarded
by the nations highest tribunal. This
was the view of Alexander III. Steph-
ems, who said that, legally, Mr.. Hayes
had the best title to the presidency OF
any Of our chief magistrates. We can
say this much without any change Of
opinion regarding the election of Mr..
Tilden.
President Hayes treated the south
better, probably, than any other Re-
publican would have done in his posi-
tion. He was naturally fair-ninded
man and lover of peace, and his
withdrawal of the federal troops from
the southern states was greatly to his
credit. He showed no disposition to
Cypress us or add to our burdens. He
was moderate and conservative, and
the worst that his enemies could say Of
him was that he had accepted an Office
to which Ills opponent had been elected.
This was bad enough, but he does not
bear alone the responsibility which, in
point of fact, should be borne by the
supreme court of the United States, and
the conspirators who hatched the deal
and then deserted the beneficiary

A True Story.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am 6
tramp. Now don't drop this paper
with a shiver for fear of contamination
was not always SO, have seen better
days. At one time, I knew what il
was to have mothers loving care and
bright aspirations for the future. As
wander along now in my travels, pleas.
ant scenes come back to me of the old
country home, where would lay un-
der the trees and dream day dreams,
while small army of ants would crawl
down my back and break my chain OF
thought. Then I would mend it the
next day, when the ants were not
holding an election, and while my
brothers were thoughtlessly working
in the hay field.
My mother early appreciated my tai
ent for meditation and ,repose, and pre-
dicted daylight rise for me in the
world of fame. I went to college and
learnt a great many things inside and
outside the walls. saw that the best
thinkers always wore their hair long
but never played foot ball. Also that
none of them wore their head bald. ]
have held on to their. ways ever since,
and have not had my ear pinched by a
barber for ten years. No doubt the
cool night breezes, which always feel,
have helped to retain the vigor of this
growth.
My college days were over; soon the
busy scuffle with the world would be-
gin. AS stood on the brilliantly
lighted rostrum with a bouquet pinned
to my coat, I read the ssDream of life'
only as an artist can portray his own
designs. There was a burst of applause
and many who had flowers in their
hands still held them. When my fav-
orite professor found time to speak
with me there were tears in his eyes as
he grasped my hand. "Try again, my
boy" said he encouragingly. And !
resolved to do so.
After this, went home and spent
the summer, giving the boys many val
liable suggestions, which they didn't
seem to appreciate as much as had
anticipated. The press also, or at least
the editors, received many valuable
articles, which, owing to circumstances,
were not printed. at once saw the
cause, and could not blame the recipi-
ents, for their seeming neglect. The
paper was always full, and my COM
sments could not be crowded in and be
readable. Most authors, at some time,
make extensive travels in order to inn
prove in knowledge of the world,
then come back and write their worst
stories. have always heard that s.It's
a poor rule that won't work both ways. y
That being the case, my way was
pointed out for a certainty. Now
writing short stories that went through
the mail. I would come back from
travels, and write stories that would
go through the mail twice. Thus I
started, gentle reader, but not till the
boys suggested that I start for parts
where my talent would be run after,
l obtained a position as travelling
agent for patent wash-boiler, and be-
gan life. In this way, learnt to en-
dure the rebuffs and cold receptions
given me when I went to houses where
it would naturally be supposed they
washed. So many and varied are these
scenes that can recall
them only with difficulty. The first
house that deceived me, heard the fol-
lowing conversation when the door

Charming Girls! Honest Clerks |!

The number of large defalcations,
involving betrayals of trust, is visibly
less than it was formerly; and in mum.
ber and variety embezzlements do no,
keep pace with the constant increase
of the volume of mercantile business.
An embezzlement is no longer an every
day occurrence, and the word indeed
has ceased from use in this State as 9
legal definition Of the offence Of larceny
by breach of trust.
A retail establishment in this city
has recently unearthed a number Of
petty thefts, all chargeable, as investi-
CATION shows, to male and not to fe-
male clerks, though the latter outnum-
bered the former in the proportion OF
five to one. During the past ten or
fifteen years there has been prodigi-
GUS increase in the number of girls and
young women in the sales and cashiers
departments OF retail dry goods shops.
There are female cashiers, accountants,
auditors, bookkeepers, entry clerks
and cash girls. They are intelligent,
acurate, alert, and almost without ex-
ception honest.
It is probably no exaggeration to say
that considerably more than. one-half
OF the money daily expended by retail
purchasers in New York passes through
the hands of women. Yet an act OF
dishonesty among this great army Of
clerks is rarely heard OF. and In the
few isolated cases which exist, they are
usually the result of some gratuitous'
completely with some male clerk. Even
ii large wholesale houses, the number
OF female clerks in the cashiers de-
partnents is decidedly on the increase;
and this would not be SO, were not
such female clerks found to be trust
worthy.
This high record Of probity and fdel-I
ity amid the temptations which small
wages are supposed to interpose, Is
creditable indeed; and the wonder is
that 1t Is not oftener referred to by
those for whom the working girls Of
New York--bless their diligence, bright
eyes, and cheerful spirits constitute q
sympathetic theme for homily, sermon
and leading article. M + San.

Nine Alleged Tram Wrsckers.a

Last Saturday morning It was re-
ported in Popular Bluff that seven
negroes and two white men had been
arrested at Earl station, about 20 miles
this side Of Memphis. on the Iron
Mountain road, charged with train
wrecking.
Our readers will remember that about
two or three weeks ago there we're sew
eral wrecks in succession in the vicin-
ity of Earl, which done considerable
damage to the Iron Mountain Company
and greatly inconvenienced the travel
ing public Of this locality and along the
line.
The first wreck was that of passenger
train No. 967, which was derailed just
before reaching Earl station--the en-
gine detaching itself from the train as
it fell, so that none of the coaches left
the track. This casulty was followed
by another in quick succession and still
another, which greatly aroused the
people Of that section Of the country,
and the Iron Mountain Company im-
mediately put detectives IN that vicin-
ity to look into the matter, but up to
the capture they had been unsuccessful.
A brakeman on the South End, who
was well acquainted with the people Of
Earl, decided to try his abilities az .
detective, and he went to Earl-got on
a good flag" and ..fell in" with the
the boys. After drinking with them
for some time, and pretending to be
very drunk, he opened the conversa-
tion on the quiet. He had quite chat
before getting the desired information,
when he boarded the first passenger
train for Memphis. Securing the assist
ance Of several officers, he returned,
arresting nine Of the criminals seven
negroes and two white men,
It was at first believed that it was
the intention of the wreclxers to dera.l
the passenger trains, so badly demol-
ishing them that they would. in the
scramble which would follow, be enar
bled TO obtain money and other valua<
bles without being suspected. But Il
has been learned since that they were
after the through freight which runs
from this point to Memphis. and which
is generally loaded with all kinds Of
eatables.
The method they adopted for the
destruction 81 the trains. was to unscrew
the taps which held the plates whore
the rails were jointed together, and
pull up the spikes from both sides Of
the irons, showing them far enough
apart SO that when the engine struck
them. they would spread, and collis-
ion would follow. By fixing tho track
ia this shape, an engineer would hard
" be able to detect II = distance Of 6fty
Y ards.
The people of Earl were very indie-
nant when they we're arrested In their
midst, and the officers had some little
trouble keeping their prisoners from
being lynched. Poplas- gsylf advocate.
