WAkED THE WRONG MAN.
How John Was Robbie to raw Timothy
Mccarthy.

Two men named Mccarthy died about
Gently, says the New York Recorder.
One had been baptized Timothy and the
other John. Timothy was an unfortu-
nate without home or friends, while
John was described by his countryncn
as a "dacent man." with plenty Of "da-
cent friends" He lived with his honest
wife and family at $40 West Forty-sixth
street before he was carried of to the
hospital in the hope of saving his life.
mere was grief among the respectablH
well-wishers of John Mccarthy when it
was learned one morning that he had
died at the hospital from the effects OF
a necessary operation. and the feelings
or those good people were expressed
loudly enough to leave no doubt as TO
the general esteem in which John Nc
Carthy was held. Poor Timothy Nc
Carthy. who died almost at the same
moment, had nobody to mourn for him.
1t was on a Sunday afternoon that the
trends and %noighbors of John McCar-
thy assembled at his house to do honor
to the dead. The corpse was laid out
IN a mt casket and many willing hands
were lent to the preparations for the
wake that began at 6 o'clock on this
particular Sunday evening. No wake
in that neighborhood was ever better
attended. The house was thronged all
that Sunday night and all tho next day
and all Monday evening until midnight
with worthy people. who discussed
nothing save the virtues of John Me
Carthy, and had only one lamentatiop
in the world, and that was on account
OF John McCarthy's death. 1t was
strange how people would 20 to the
casket containing the mortal remains
OF Mccarthy again and again. 1t was
strange, also, how surprised they looked
each time. If one was caught wearing
II look OF surprise, rather than m OF
becoming sorrow, that one was quick
to cloak his thoughts. lest the good fam
lily should feel troubled. Ii would be
the height of i'll M to say that
the body in the casket didn't look n
bit like ii did when life was in It. At
a wake 1t is better to speak only good
Of the dead. Along about midnight on
Monday, however, two young men lef:
the wake. and when they got outside
they agreed that the corpse didn't look
any more like John Mccarthy than it
did like the mikado of Japan. Further.
they declared they didn't believe it was
John Mccarthy at all. Thereupon they
repaired TO Bellevue and found John
McCarthy's body still on the ice. john
was a big, husky fellow. The body of
Timothy Mccarthy had been shipped to
Johns home by mistake. Timothy was
little and weakened. An exchange of
bodies promptly followed. Friondless
Timothy had been walked thirty-six
hours. There was only six hours left
in which to wake John, for the funeral
was 10 take place on the following day.

singular Appetitcs.

Eccentricities Of appetite as to guam
tity and quality are far more common
than many suppose and more e~xtraor-
binary. Two clergymcn of New Eng
land-one a gourmand. the other abb
s~tcmious-were dining together. The
abstemious looked with wonder and
horror upon his colleague. The lady
OF the house, delighted to see the latter
cat, brought on dish after dish, until
AZ last his wondrous capacity was over
taxed and he exclaimed: Madam. I
cannot eat everything" Said the other:

The Irish Laborcr In ENGLAND.

1t is asked, Why should the Irishman
come over to make the hay and reap the
crops in England and Scotland, and
how is it that he goes home again and
does not stay? That he comes over is
evidence that he is not unwilling to
work. He is sent for by the Turner be-
cause his wages are low. That he re-
turns home is not u matter of sentiment
alone, nor due to the fact that he returns
to q Roman Catholic country. The win
ter il milder than in Scotland, the rent
is cheaper than paying for lodgings in
Scotland, the turf fire is warmer and
more cheerful than the small coal he
must buy at high price in Scotland.
The turf fire costs him perhaps f3 for
the family for all the year. While the
man works abroad tho family live
cheaply at home and till the potatoes
and fatten the pigs. There arc thus good
reasons why migratory labor should pay
the Irish peasant best, and the change
is welcome to him when life would 9TH
erwise be very monotonous. Boys and
girls look forward to the end Of Their
school days and to tho time when they
may go to the harvesting; or, still bet.
ter, to the ''oil works." where some &c
shillings a week may be earned. The
Irish peasant requires no one to teach
him his own interests il this respect
and he works hard for a spell, looking
forward to the idle winter before hin
at home.-Blackwood's Magazine.

knew anything about the story that Bryan

As n matter of personal courtesy to the
distinguished visitor TO Albany Senator
Hill. through the committee has invited
Mr.. Bryan and his wife. and few per-
sonal friends to dine with him at Vol.
fcrt's Roost on Tuesday afternoon and
Mr.. Bryan has accepted the invitation"
Asked whether Hill would preside at
the meeting III tc held in City Hall suuare
when Bryan make a speech, Chase said:
The n,setsng is to be very simple in its
character and of brief duration. Mr..
Bryan will not speak for more than half
an hour and possibly not longer than
twenty minutes. Almost Immediately
after he finishes it will be necessary for
Mr.. Bryan to start for the railroad sta
ton. The people will be anxious to hear
the Democratic candidate for president.
NO one could address SO large a multi
tude in advance of Mr.. Bryan with ad-
vantage. and after he concludes his adj
dress 1t IL likely that every one will wish
TO shake Mr. BrysrsaS hand. So there will
be so much confusion we think il impossi-
bic 10 have speaker follow him. While
the citizens OF Albany are always delight

man, Senator Hill, the committee Of ar

HAS NOT HEARD FROM CLEVELAND.
Bynum Say the President Will Not Inter

Bynum Say the President Will Not Inter-
fere with the Gold Democracy.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 2l.-Ex Representa-
tive Bynum said yesterday that the story
that he had letter from Cleveland ad-
vising against a third nomination was
false; that he had no letter or intimation
from the president, who would not have
a word to say about the convention.
Bynum expected 10000 people at the con-
vention Sept. g The gold Democratic
organization would live until the next
national convention, whether the new
party would live longer depended upon
circumstances.
The following statement was authorized
at national gold Democratic headquarters:
"There is no one authorized to speak for
President Cleveland but certainly there
has been no antagonism of the movement
from Mr.. Cleveland OF his friends, and
any one observing the situation can sec
very clearly that Senator Villas, Senator
Gallery, Senator Palmer and Senator
Gray are, to put it mildly, not unfriendly
to Cleveland. In fact these gentlemen
have been most closely identified with
him and are his friends.
1.-The Chicago platform, as every one
knows, seeks to i,npeach his personal in.
tegrity and his political administration,
and Governor Stone, of Missouri, in his
Madison Square garden speech, saw fit to
go outside the record and declare Cleve-
land to be traitor. The newspapers that
are supporting Bryan are engaged in the
same kind of work. Mr.. Cleveland and
his friends are not of the make up that
kisses the hand that smites them
