I ex- pected to from what I had feard, « weak, decrepit old man. Bat 1 didn’t. He wrs straight jo figure, with the ‘face that everybody knows, white hair, and walk that was as quick as could be expected of a man 70 years old. He crossed the stdewaik, went up tie steps and flung up for his valet, who ranto him and removed his over- goat. His secretary told him I was waiting. «nd he at once entered and shook me cordially by the hand, «Mr. Clune,’ he said, ‘1 am very glad to see youl had heard ot you and knew you were coming.” “Now, Mr. ‘Vilden said I **where I came trom we are all Tilden and Hendricks men, and nine out of every ten Democrats I have met in the states I have visited think the same. Now, I -vould like to ask and they would like to know wheth— er you will be a candidate before the text convention ?7” “Well, Mr. Clunie, to reform the country atter twenty five vears of Republican misrule would be a her- culean task, and I should prefer to pass the remamder of my days in re- see, a tirement and quiet.”” Now, you know that answer didn’t satisty me.’ continued the General, “for I wanted to know precisely how he thought. There English and Hearst and others out hear who were wanted to know also. You sec, my that the stand much show this year unless tney rut up the old ticket, for there are lots people who believe Tilden an Hendricks were elected. SoI said: ‘Well, Mr. Tilden, supposing the people want you, will you take the nomination ?”” “Well, Mr. Clunie, I don't know. I wouldn’t like to disappoint the peo- idea 1s Democrats won't | ple as to my ability in this connec- | tion. and I should want the people to be sure and make no mistake.’” “But, Mr. Tilden, supposing the National Democratic Conyention should ask you to would , you??? “Well, Mr. Clume, I should pre- | quiet.

With this intent he met an old darkey in town who domiciles upon the banks of the rolling Briar, and the tollow- ing conversation occurred: Old man, don’t you reside in close proximity to the waters ot Bnar Creek? Poss, zactly understan’ what you means by promoxigimity, but I libs right on de kreek, shore. Well, my man, can you inform me if any great number of untamed ducks visit these haunts at present? Boss, don’t tink dem ducks hants anybody, but dares tousan’s ob dar shore’s you born. Well, old man, mv object in mak- J doan’ "em | ing the inquiry was, that I have a desire to come down and have a ht- tle morceau of sport, and was ex- ceedingly solicitous to know if I could procure the services of'a com- petent chaperone to guide and pro- pel a boat.

Right here the interview termina- ted, and as our preacher has not been missing on Sunday we do not think he has been duck shooting. The Speaker’s Gavel. Washington Letter. It has become customary, by cour- tesy, fora retiring speaker to take with him the gavel he has used, to keep as 9 relic in his family; so a new one must be made for each speaker elected. The new one made for the present speaker has a very plain, stout round hickory handle, about ten inches long. Its mallet is astout piece of ivory, about five in- ches in circumference, and on either end are two blue circles. The first handle made for this new gavel was a fancy one of ebony, with various projections and indentations, making it very weak mm certain places; so at the last moment a new handle had to be lest the speak- made, new er should break the ebony one the | first time he used it with emphasis.
