Story Of Young Man and n Girl.

story OF Young Man and q Girl.
This is story of young man and girl.
The girl was pretty. The young man
thought she was the most beautiful being
he had ever seen.
He met her in the house of friend in the
village in which she lived He was dazed.
he followed her around the entire evening.
He tried to make an impression, and when
he came away he thought he had impressed
her, and he was in the seventh heaven of
delight.
He came back to Buffalo. He talked of
the girl by day and dreamed of her by night.
Business kept him from going again to the
village which held the radiant being within
its corporate limits. He did not know her
well enough to write to her. He moped.
His eyes grew dim. He was as sorely strick-
en'with love as man could be and main
tain anything like his mental poise.
Last week one day he heard that she was
in this city visiting friends. He was wild
with delight. A day later friend of the
friends with whom the divinity was stay-
ing came to him and said that he Thought
he could fix things so the stricken young
man could take the southern tier girl to the
theater. The young man implored him to
do so, and he did

the first arrangements the young man lived
In dream. He invited a married friend
and his wife to go along and act as chap
erons. They said they would. He looked
his dress clothes over carefully, had them
cleaned and pressed, bought new pair of
gloves and fixed himself up regardless of
cost.
The night came. The young man went
after the girl with carriage. 1t was the
best one he could hire. He had the four
best seats in the theater. They saw the
play, and he took them to the swellest cafe
in town and had luncheon He ordered
champagne like California millionaire.
Then they drove home. The girl talked
of inconsequential matters. She had liked
the play. She told the young man that she
would be in the city month longer. They
reached the house of her friends. Hehelped
her out of the carriage, and she tripped up
the steps, said Good night" sweetly and
vanished behind the heavy doors.

Rameau and the Dog.

Many eccentricities are pardoned in
musical geniuses, especially by those
who do not suffer from them. Unfortu-
nately the object of musicians wrath

One can fancy the possessor of the
unframed voice who figures in the fol-
lowing story thinking hard things of
the celebrated composer Rameau.
One day Rameau while calling on a
lady fixed stern glance on little dog
who sat in her lap and was barking
good naturedly. Suddenly Rameau
seized the poor little fellow and threw
him out of the window.
"What is the matter?' asked his
hostess, much alarmed.
''He barked false!" said Rameau in

The Camden Boss Tells a New
ark Reporter That He Will
Be Senator.
special to the Jersey City Meas.

NEWARK, Oct. 26, 1S94.-General Will
lam J. Sewell was in this city last night,
hale, hearty and confident hat he n
no one else will be chosen by the next
Legislature to succeed John r. McPher-
son as United States Senator from New
Jersey.
The General came to Newark as the
guest of the Third Regiment, National
Guard of New Jersey, accompanied by his
staff. The regiment is in the Second bri-
gade commanded by General Sewell, and
yesterday was the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary of Colonel Benjamin f. Lees pro-
motion to the command of the regiment,
and it was celebrated by a banquet ten
dered to Major General JosephW. Plume
commander of the National Guard of the
State, and his staff.
General Sewell, while second in COM
mand, was the chief attraction of the
| occasion. Even his military superior,
| General Plume, admitted the South Jer-
seyman's popularity and freely expressed
the opinion that General Sewell will be
the next Senator from New Jersey.
The General was in a military mood,
| free to talk and free to act, and answered
every question p-ropounded without at
fecting reserve. Seen immediately after
the banquet he was the very picture OF
health and prosperity.
General, l presume that five months
] hence I may again greet you as Senator?"
/ was the first question of a Times" re-
porter.
THAT is for the Legislature to decide,
and a positive assertion from me at this
time would be rather out of place" was
the Generals reply.

nomination if the Republican party con-
trolls the LEGISLATURE" :.
Il do not like to anticipate results

What are the prospects in South Jer-
sey?"

What do YOU think Of the action of the
the anti-Sewell resolution).
DON'T BELIEVE IN SECTIONAL
DIVISIONS.
Such a move is without precedent in
the political history of the State said
General Sewell very positively; our State
is too small for sectional divisions, and 1t
would be good policy for the trainers of
that resolution to bear in mind the consti-
~tutfonal provision which says that United
States Senators shall be chosen by the
Legislature in Joint session"
General, it appears that you have quite
a few enemies in your own party?"
Yes, and they are confined to the
limits of Essex. county, he answered,
with a smile and a pleasant good night.
His staff was waiting and after a
pleasant adieu all around General Sewell
left Davis par1or and made a flying visit
to some of his Essex county friends, pre-
paratory to his departure for Camden.
The guests present were from all sec
tions of the State and not one interviewed
expressed a doubt as to General Sewel's
election as Senator McPherson's success
