Domesticity In a Railroad Train.

II you chance TO be on "A certain car of the
Sixth avenue IL" about IL o'clock in the
day AS 1t passes up from the Fourteenth
street station, you'll see pretty little girl
of some summers with a dinner pail. Her
slender young figure presses against the
platform rail, and the big brown eyes anx-
iously scan the various cars as they come
and 60 The crowd get ON and get off and
push and jostle for place, but she pays no
attention 20 what is going on SO lively all
around her, and clinging tightly to the din-
ner pail scrutinizes every car platform. All
at once her eyes twinkle, and her face lights
up, and she springs upon the upper plat
form. The trainman takes her dinner pail
and slams the gate. a.
Then he gives her light kiss. which is
received with shy glance around the car
at the rest Of the folks, and the pair sit
down In the nearest corner. The father, re-
lieyed temporarily by one Of his mates,
opens up on the contents Of the dinner pail ,
and the little girl makes mental inventory
OF the dresses Of the grand ladies in whose
society she is unexpectedly thrown. Mean

A few years ago q widow and her
daughter were occupying a section In a
Pullman sleeper on the Missouri Pacific
railroad. The section next 20 this lady
happened o. be occupied by O couple Of
the directors Of that railroad. The par
tition between the two sections was 20
thin that It was not difficult for a con
yersation carried ON In one section 20 be
heard In the other The lady traveller
heard the two directors discussing a plan
Of consolidation whereby the stock Of the
Missouri Pacific was bound 10 be- greatly
enhanced In value.
Ii was then worth but 9 or 3 cents on
the dollar. She was on her return trip
10 her home in Hartford. The CONVEX
ration Of the two directors preyed on her
mind She revolved IL over and over
again until her home was reached, about
which time n - 600 note due her was re-
deemed. She sent for her attorney. de-
tailed 20 him the conversation she had
heard and said she was almost resolved
TO invest the q. 900 in Missouri Pacific.
The attorney, installing her announced
resolution for irony, laughed, but the
woman Of wealth persisted.

lose | shall have just az much 10 eat as
have always had and just as much 20

two directors work out, shall make a

The attorney obeyed the instructions
Of his client, invested the q, 900, and in
less than a month the proposed consoli-
dalton was cousummated, and the Hart
ford widow realized for her 81, 600 invest
ment $3.50, 900 At the first blush this in.
cident is set down as proof Of luck.
II was simply an unexpected exhibit
ton Of what in Wall street vernacular is
termed nerve" on the part Of a quick
cared and quicker witted woman. Not
one person in 10000 would have given
any heed TO the conversation referred to,
and not one Of a thousand who might
have heard and needed and who hap
pened TO have the money, as the widow
had it, would have dared invest it.
These incidents and illustrations might
be expanded until volumes were filed.

resentatives that Mr.. Blaine made his
stinging criticism of Roscoe Conkling
that forever separated these two able
men, and made them enemies for life.
1t was at this time that Mr.. Blaine, with
all that bitter sarcasm that he 30 perfectly
had at command said Of Conkling:
"As to the gentlemxn's cruel sarcasm.
! hope he win not be too severe. The
contempt of that large-minded in
dividual is so whiting, mis- naughty
disdain, his grandiloquent swell,
his majestic, supereminent, over
powering turkey gobbler strut has
been so crushing to myself and all the
members of this House, that know it
was an act of the greatest temerity for
me to venture upon a controversy with
him. But, sir, know who is respon-
sible for all this. know that. within
the last five weeks, as members of the
House will recollecf, an extra strut has
characterized the gentleman's bearing.
1t is not his fault. 1t is the fault of an
other. That gifted and satirical writer,
theodore Tilton, of the New York Inde-
pendent, spent some weeks recently in
this city. His letters published in that
paper embraced, with many serious
statements, n little jocoso satire, a
part Of which was the statement that
the mantle of the late Winter Davis had
fallen upon the member from New
York. The gentleman took it seriously
and it has given his strut additional
pomposity. Tho resemblance is great.
1t is striking, Hyperion to satyr,
Thsrsites to Hercules, mud to marble,
dunghill to diamond, singed cat to
Bengal tiger, q whining puppy to roar

forgive the almost proclamation of that
jocose satirel
1t was the most merciless excoriation
ever delivered in Congress, and Conkling
the proudest and most sensitive of men,
never forgave Blaine for the very bad
quarter of an hour he compelled him to
undergo. The illustrated papers were
prompt to cartoon the affair and Conk-
ling's face looked out from innumerable
turkey gobblers In bright oolors. The
speech while effective was perhaps the
most unjudicious that Mr.. Blaine ever
