as THIS YOUR FIRST VISIT?"

Strangers tell us 1t is "A fact that after
the formalities Of an Introduction to an
Eastern shoremnn at his own home al
ways follows the question SIS this your
first visit to the. Eastern shore?" The
origin of this custom wac sat forth by an
Eastern shcremap at Cincinnati bun-
quet at Newport. X. J.. some years ago,
when he was twitted about this pecul
iarity OF his country. The story il q true
one.
When General Lafayette accepted the
invitation Of Congress, in 1874. and came
to this country as the nations guest. a
great reception was tsndcred him at the
state house in Annapolis, officially. by the
state. The governor of Maryland was at
that time an Eastern shore farmer, who
lived on his farm, except when the Cen
ernl Assem- bly, was in session, or when he
was call,l tn Annapolis at 9th er times on
official business. OF course, his presence
was indispensable at the Lafayette rerep-
tion. Ills function, indeed, was ia in
roduoe the distinguished guest. The
governor made the trip on horseback

The roads and weather being worse than
he calculated for when he left home, he
did not reach the capital until the day Of
the reception and after all the other nota-
biiities were there, ana waiting for the
governor. who was hastily ushered into
the Senats chamber, his clothes splashed
with mud-just IA he was when he dis.
mounted. Tho distinguished people, in
slendid array in the chamber, confused
the plain and patriotic Eastern shore gov

How the Gentiest AIan in. starkville
Centre Came by "A Military Title.
: 81 suppose. 'Isaid Col. Callirer, THAT u .
most modest man that ever lived was my
old friend Seth Shyly. who formerly lived
NJ. starkviIlo Center. Vt. He was gem
tie, lovsblc. quiet man, who never AS
serted himself. who was, in fnct inclined
To undoIrate himself, and who never took
ths rank TO which he was entitled In the
community; he held that only as be was
raised To 10 in the hearts Of his fellow cit
lions lie was not humble In tho sense
of cringing, not bit; but be was in
clined to turn out and give the other man
the road. and he never put himself for
ward at all on the other hand, he kept
himself back.
There was curious illustration OF his
ways In this respect In bis business signs.
He was a cabihetmaker, and hs had little
shop Of his own where ho worked himself,
doing coed and faithful work, MS might
have bsen expected. he made repairs of
eli kinds, too, as we'll ns new work, and
when he wanted sign TO show that, he
went to the sign painter and told him
what he wanted. The painter suggested
"A sign reading General Repairs.
"Um-m-m-m. That seemed rather
high word to put up over his shop, and
Mr.. Shyly suggested making 10 Colonel
Repairs, which he thought would DO just
as we'll, and rs u matter Of fact In his
leart he thought IL would DO less pre-
tsDtious and tar better; and he got the
painter TO make 1t thai way, and there
after there appeared "a modest addition TO
tho sign over his door " wbich made 10 read !:
Cabinet making snd Colonel Repairs.
Nobody ever iauaned at his sign, and
everybody understood it, and 1t had one
very singular outcome Everybody that
had business with Mr.. Shyly hogan calling
him Colonel. and very soon that was his
commonly accepted title in StarkviIlc
Centre. And thus it came about that
the shyest man in the town was endowed
with military title. i imagine that the
first man to apply 1t blundsred into IL,
with his mind on the curious sign; but
Mr.. ShyIy did not resent it, nor did he
ever resent IL. True, he never resented
anything. but ] think the title rather
softened and pleased him, for think that
down deop In his heart deeper than no
looked himself, he was much like the rest. ="

MAN WANTED.
Leather Dealer In Boston Said to Be an
EmbeZZler

EmbezZler
Boston, Jan. 2s.-A warrant has been
issued by JUDGE Adams fcr the ARE I Of
Abraham Tebbitts. q leather dealer.
charging him with the embezzle ement of
$li65 from a Roxbury currier. The
charge is a specific one. and represents
only one OF a dozen of a similar nature
whoch have been brought against Teb-
bits by various leather firms OF the city.
The firms all agree that Tebbitts OBJ
talned the leather, which i'm the aggre-
gate amounts TO $50 900, on the represen-
tation that he would raise the money on
the bills of lading and turn the proceeds
over TO the various parties selling the
leather. 1t is known that Tebbitts did
raise something over $40, 000 but none Of
the firms has been paid. and Tebbitts has
apparently disappeared, after turning "A
greater portion OF this money into United
States bonds through three prominent
bond houses of this city The firms now
believe that they were victinized by
Tebbitts. and IL was upon their repre-
sentation that the warrant for his arrest
was issued
Tebbitts has not been seen in Boston
since Tuesday afternoon, when he was at
his Office. Next morning his clerk told
the police that the books. which had been
placed in the safe. were found outside
Tebbitts himself did not appear. and he
has not been since seen. He is IS years
old. and has been i'll with dyspepsia for
some time. He walks with a notIceabl
stoop of the shoulders Most of the goods
have been shipped on various vessels to
Europe. The bills of lading are in the
possession OF the bankers that advanced
the money on them
