The Hon. Grover Cleveland, ex-
President and piscatorial enthusiast,
recently received some rough treat
ment at the hands Of a Connecticut
farmer, who had forbidden trespass-
ing, hunting and fishing upon his
lands. The sage of Buzzard's Bay is
himself Jealous guardian of game
rights, so be has no reason to CON-
plain of the incident in question. 1t
appears that Mr.. Cleveland was the
guest of Connecticut gentleman
who lives in a neigh borhood where
there Is fine fishing, and the ex-Pres-
ident, when he got into trouble, sup
posed be was on the lands of his host,
though such was not the case. Frank
johnson, the farmer who saw his ter
ritory invaded, had frequently been
irritated by poachers, and when he
spied Mr.. Cleveland be "stalked"
him, creeping along hedge until he
came to the spot where the large,
lone fisherman had just landed a big
trout.
johnson did not recognize the big
game that represented his quarry, and
when he approached the ex- President,
he cried out: cha, I've caught you
at last, have II"
"But, my dear SIR" Mr.. Cleveland
began.
"Don't you dear sir me-" shouted
johnson, who was hopping mad.
"Iou just get off my property, and
don't you lose any time about it, eth
er, or I'll have you arrested"
Mr.. Cleveland hurriedly gave an
exhibition of fence climbing, but.
unfortunately, he paused for a mo-
ment on the top rail, and it collapsed
under his weight. This made his
pursuer still more angry, and be roar
ed out: "You get away from here.
First you steal my trout and then yon
destroy my fences" BY this time
Mr.. Cleveland had vanished.
When neighbors told Mr.. Johnson
that he had been pursuing a former
President, he wasn't bit sorry and
said: "Groyer Cleveland, eh? That's
the man who wouldn't appoint me
village postmaster when the whole
place endorsed me. 1t beats all, how
yindictive some men are, and never
did thing to him"

AN EXPENSIVE MARSHAL.-Some
weeks ago the steam canal boat Ash
ford, hull lately raised from the
bottom of the Sound, was libelled for
a coal bill amounting to So. The
owner did not enter an appearance,
and the claim was proved up before
a commissioner at an expense for his
fees of $3.50. At the sale the hull
brought $115. The fees of United
States Marshal Hinkel and his depu-
ties for keepers and sundry expenses
amounted to $96.56; and the fees of
the clerks Office amounted to $7.45.
Deducting, also, the doeket-fee of
$3.50, the balance applicable on the
claim of the libellant is sixty-nine
cents The libellant, however, was
the purchaser, and if he spends few
hundred dollars in fitting and tackle
on the hull, he will eventually realize
the amount Of his coal bill.-N. Y.

AN OPTION ON BEAUvOIR.-It is
announced that the State Chapter of
the Daughters of the Confederacy in
Mississippi has been given an option
by Mrs. Davis on "Beauvoir," the
home of the late Jefferson Davis. and
it is probable that advantage will be
taken of the opportunity to prevent
this historic property from falling
into the hands of people who could
have none but purely pecuniary in
terest in its possession. Mrs. Davis
offers to sell to the Chapter the home
of her honored husband for $25,
although stating that she has been
offered 100000 for it by a Northern
syndicate. ''It is to be hoped" says
the Macon Telegraph, chat the Mis-
sissippi Dang ghters will not be com
PEELED to refuse the offer for lack of
means. The organization in other
States would doubtless be glad to
help. Not Northern syndicate, but
the Daughters of the Confederacy, or
some other distinctly Southern insti-
tuition, should inherit "Beauvoir'
when it passes from the hands of the
Davis family, in order that it may
remain a true memorial of the leader
of the Lost Cause" ."-Bslt. Sun.

arms and said in q ringing, defiant
voice:
"He cheated me and Pve killed
him. Do what you please"
Jack gave orders to search the
body of the dead. When a whole
pack of cards were found concealed
upon his person, all accepted this as
certain evidence of fraud. Jack
roared out:
"This court decides that Slippery
Dick was caught cheating, and The
Baby is guilty of justifable homicide
and goes free. All in favor of the
motion say AYE
A thunder of "ayes" responded.
"All opposed say no. said Jack,
as he cooked his revolver and glared
about the room. A moments death
like silence followed. Jack, in a
lower tone, said:
This court is unanimous and The
Baby is acquitted. The parson will
now say a prayer for Slippery Dick
and we'll take him out and plant
him"
The great bell rang out as Jack
shouted:
"All up. gents: hats off,
Every one stood and uncovered his
head. | have heard many prayers in
my life, but never one like the par
sons over Slippery Dick The
preacher lowered above the sea of
heads, and with eyes closed, talked
with God. He pleaded for mercy for
the mob of sinners before him who
were on the ROAD to eternal ruin. He
uncovered the hard and cruel hearts
about him with the fearless and
steady hand of a master surgeon. You
beard the quick gasps of suppressed
breathing as each one of the pack of
reprobates felt the unsparing hand
reveal his own guilty secret.
The prayer for Jack, the ringlead-
er in sin, was like blast from fur
mace. Jack covered his face with his
SLOUGH hat and trembled like a leaf.
The petition for "Slippery Dick" was
a picture of awful sin receiving its
awful penalty in accordance with Di-
vine laws. 1t brought sob of terror
from score of hearts. When the
prayer rerched ''The Baby" the hard
voice trembled and broke into a wall
and ended in heart-broken sob.
The strong man pleaded in the name
of mother who, through her burning
tears, prayed day and night for her
loved boys return. 1 have seen trees
swayed by cyclones until l felt as if
they must be torn from their roots by
the next fierce blast So that mass
or heads swayed and bowed while he
prayed. When the whispered 'samen'
was uttered breath like sigh part
ed the lips of every man as he looked
into the white face of his neighbor.
Jack was the first to regain his COM
posure. His voice had lost all of its
rollicking tone as he gently and SOL
emnly said:
GA collection, gents. for the par
son."
He passed through the crowd, re-
ceiving a coin or bill from every
hand and poured the hstful of money
into the parsons pocket. The par
son and "The Baby" went out to-
gether. AS soon as the door closed
behind them, Jack said:
Scents, the Coyote is closed until
tomorrow at six O'Clock"
The crowd passed out in silence.
