During an excursion from this city to
Niagara Falls, and while at Cleveland, an
incident occurred which will never be for
gotten by those who heard of it. The
Kennard heuse at that city was crowded
with guests, when an eccentric and witty
druggist of Smithlield street appeared
late at night at the hotel Office and de.
manded bed The clerk replied that
there were only two vacant beds in the
house, one wherein was quarter ed Pitts
burg morning newspaper man, and the
other in a room wherein was Pttsburg
evening newspaper man, who were with
the excursion.


ITO tell the truth, they are.both pref
ty drunk--so you may take your choie
as to which room you will sleep in"


The druggist said that on general
principles he would take his chances with
the evening newspaper journalist, as they
excelled the morning men in more ways
than one, and he would doubtless be SO
drunk that he would lie dormantly quiet
til night He went to bed and was soon
sound asleep. The journalist, however,
awakened about l2 O'Clock, and thinking
at long time between drinks. dressed
himself. unconsciously, in the druggists
clothes. and sailed out to make a night
Off Ever and anon. he muttered, as he
treated all present:

And then remember, son, that the

The marriage of August Belmont to
Miss Perry daughter of the Commo-
dore) was in its day deep, interesting,
social event Prior to that Belmont had
no standing. He was merely known in
Wall street as agent for the Rothschilds,
while aside from his office he was merely
fast man, whose money went freely in
the most disreputable manner He still
carries the marks of his early career in
a lame leg, the result of a pistol shot
received in duel, occasioned, it is said,
by an intrigue. Up to that time, in
deed, Belmont was considered rather as
an adventurer. His true name was
Schonberg, which he changed to Bel
mont on his arrival here, and his family
connections We're unknown. Hence, for
a New York belle to marry such man
could not but create sensation. The
wedding was preceded by the convey
ance to the bride of Fifth Avenue es
tablishment and 100000 in frst-class
securities, and it was not long before the
Belmonts We're received among the creme
de la creme.


In this manner the Jew Schonberg,
having renounced his Hebrew prefer
ences, became leader in the more dash
ing element of New York society. He
is the only Jew that has shown a special
love for horses, and his name has long
been identified with the American turf.
His son, Perry Belmont, is one of the
leaders of young society, and recently
his daughter was married in good style,
the ceremony being one of the most
brilliant ever witnessed in Newport.


Belmont is one of the small number
of Jews who has renounced his national
faith and yet he retains some of the
ancient customs. His wife attends the
Episcopal Church, but when death en-
tered his family he obeyed the old
Hebrew custom of closing his picture
gallery for year. He is now about
three score and ten, and his wealth is
estimated at million. Rather strange,
though he has been Wall street man
for so many years, he has never been
drawn into stock speculations. No one
has ever heard of Belmont's name in
any "corner" or street operation among
bulls and bears He has confined him
self closely to his original speciality, and
has built up an immense banking bus
mess, which will be a grand inheritance
for his sons. His married life has been
one of reputable character, and it may
be said that in no case has the daughter
of naval officer done better than in the
instance above referred to. New York

While the amiable idiocy that pre- vailed in Congress during the recon. struction days was at it's height the nigger was cnfranehised.

 He was invested with the ballot on the pretty theory that he was | man and brother, with an infusion of sand in his makeup.

 It was given him on the school girl notion that affection for the par ty that give him his freedom would make him it's perpetual instrument.

 But the nigger is less seryiceable to the Republican party as a voter than he was as slave.

 He needs too much coddling--too much protection.

 He can only vote the Republican ticket when surrounded by cordon of Republican bayonets.

 There is no grit in him.

 There is more voting energy and party strength in n dozen raw Irish- men than in q thousand well fed niggers.

 There Is not an ounce Of StalWar tism in ton of ngger

 The more nigger the less strength.

 As slave, the picturesque misery of the nigger was an unfailing armory of party weapons--as freeman there is no romance in hin--coWar- dIce is now romantic,

 All over the South he is throwing his ballot for rebels and traitors, when lie votes at all.

 He is too cowardly to vote his con yictions, or too stupid to have con victions.
