RUSSELL SAGE’S DREAM. Reply to Republican Overtures. New York, Sept. 25.—Russell Sage hung a portrait of General Harrison in his office, where stock speculators who went to buy puts and calls saw it and they disseminated the news that Sage was for Harrison and Morton. The report caused no joy in the republican national headquar- ters, because Sage never contributed to campaign funds and the moral effect of the great speculative mil- lionsire’s udbesion was not deemed helpful to the republican cause. But there were practical statesmen who thought they saw a chance to profit by these circumstances and they went to Sage with a proposition that he run for congress. They remem- bored thet he had been # congress man years ago, before he had acez::.u'sied his present millions by co-operation with Jay Gould. There are eight congressional districts in New York City and the democratic majorities in them are so preponderent that only in cases of disunion among the democrats is there a possible chance of a republi- ean getting an election. But this self-chosen delegation to Sage assured him that if he would be hberal in expending money for a bie boom, he could beyond any doubt carry his district. They pointed out to him how, by the judicious purchase of influence, two democratic candidates might be insured and that he might then slip in successfully between them. They hada foolscap sheet of figures and by means of elaborate ciphering they sought to convince him of the feasibility of their scheme. He listened attentively until they were through and awaiting his an- swer. “JT had a wonderfully vivid dream last night,” Mr. Sage said; “I thought I was inacourt room. The judge satin grim dignity on the bench; the twelve jurors had faces of per- plexity and determination in their box; the lawyers were excited, and the spectators crowded all the space around. ThenTI suddenly realized that I was the prisoner. The prose- cuting attorney seemed to be making his opening speech, and I listened interestedly to find out what crime I stood accused of. I soon learned from the vigorous and denunciatory language of the speaker that I was charged with the heinous offense of being a millionaire. It seemed that a law to imprison anybody found in possession of more than a million dollars was in force, and that I had been proceeded against under that statute. The prosecutor went on to specify the evidence which he pro- posed to introduce proying that I was guilty, and then he dwelt upon the malevolence involved in it. Now, I was so scared that I awoke before the termination of the trial, and so I don’t know whethet Iam a convict or not, but you can see, gentlemen, HARDWARE AND A FULL LINE OF FIRST-CLASS FARM MACHINERY, TOP BUGGIES SPRING AND FARM WACONS.

They could not make up their minds whether he had really dreamed such a thing or not, but sabsequently he declared that he had told the truth in that respect. They did conclude without much delay, however, that the nar- rative was meant to be a negative and final declination of their enter- prise.

FIFTEEN WIVES CONFRONT HIM. | facturer replied: “I can get my laborers from Germany, from France and from England, and I can get plenty of laborers at $1.25 day, and if you don't like that pay you may stop work.” “Well,” said the work- man, “if that is the case, I suppose I have got totake the $1.25 a day.” After his week's work was at an end and he had received his week's wages, he said to the manufacturer: “It is getting cold. What will you charge me for a pair of those blank- ets that I have been working on?” “Five dollars,” said the manufacturer. “Five dollars,” said the workman. “Why, I can buy those blankets in England or in France or in Germany for $3 a pair, and I won't take your blankets. I will send over there and get a pair.” “Oh, no, you can't do that,” said the manufacturer; “there's a tariff of $2 a pair, which added to the $3 makes the price to you $5. That is for my protection.” So the workman abe his $5 and took the blankets. And then he started off for home, thinking, poor fellow, how strange this tariff is —Roger Q. Mills. The other Eighteen Wives of Jas. W. Statesman—An Old Friend. Brown not Present at His Trial Ithica, N. ¥., Sept. 20.—Republi- cans here are greatly astonished over the following letter from Roscoe Conkling to Peter B. Crandall, of this city, published in the Ithica Democrat this evening, together with 8 long interview with Mr. Crandall on the circumstances under which the letter was written: “May 6, 1886.—My Dear Sir: I am glad to receive your letter. By this time you will have seen in full the later passages of the Fry-Blaine matier. Let me know what you think. You will not, I think, find fault with the self-command of your representative when called on with- out a woment's warning in the presence of the nation to answer such a libel. What is the effect upon our people? Mr. Blaine is said to be too near the business of recruiting at Augusta, Me., where he lives and where there was another Haddock affair, in crime but not in conviction and punishment. He has grown suddenly rich, it is said, out of gov- ernment jobs. His brother was cone victed of forgery and sent to the state prison, I am told, and all around you will see there is a very strong flavor about the whole thing. If, where you and I are known, anyone can be found to believe the foul im- putation put on us we have lived in vain. How is this? Your friead, Roscog Cong.rxa. Peter B. Crandall, Babcock Hill, Oneida county, N. Y.” Mr. Crandall is 80 years old. He has been a prominent man in state and national politics for many years, and has always been one of Conk- ling’s most devoted friends. In an interview to-day he said: “The friends of Mr. Conkling, now that he is dead, owe him the right to be heard on all matters relating to Blaine’s integrity. The friends of Conkling can not vote for Harrison this fall if they are true to Conkling’s memory. Blaine is the republican party, and if it had not been for him Garfield would have been alive and Conkling still in politics. I will not vote for Harrison this fall. I have always been a republican, but when that party goes in for plunder I leave it. The republican party seems to have but one purpose, and that to aid capitalists and bondholders to squander the public lands and build up mammoth corporations. I am too old to ask or expect anything from a political party now, and all I wish is to leave the world better than I found it; but when I think that if Harrison is elected this fall Blaine will be at the head of the government I cannot die contented, but I feel like going to every friend of Mr. Conkling and telling him what I know personally about the shameful way he was treated by Blaine and thereby removing from my heart the secrecy of a subject which has ever been a painful one to me.” The leading democrats here say this letter and interview will increase the democratic vote in this section by some hundreds. Detroit, Sept. 27.—About fifteen of the thirty-tree women who were married to James W. Brown, the champion bigamist, since 1883, con- fronted him in the recorders’s court yesterday afternoon. The list of victims included Helen Brownlee, Annie Winters, of Chicago, who with Annie M. Hazel, Mary Benjamin and Nancy Robertson, were the only ones called on to give evidence against Brown. The Benjamin wo- man was the prosecuting witness. It was established that Brown's method was to advertise fora house- keeper and select hls victim from among the applicants who pleased him most and marry her as soon as possible. He would desert her af- ter a few days. Five clergymen of thie city certified to marrying Brown to as many different women and the case against him was so clear that the prosecutor left it to the jury without argument. Brown testified in his own behalf and made a sorry mess of it, contra- dicting himself at every turn. He professed not to remember any of his dupes, asserted that he was only once married and that his wife was dead and that he was onee confined as a lunatic at New Orleans. Brown was pallid and looked like a sick man. During the trial Nancy Robert- son’s indignation could not be suf- pressed, and she denounced Brown as a “perfidous wretch.” The jury agreed with her evidently, for they took but four minutes to find him guilty. Sentence was deferred for the court to investigate Brown's ca- reer still further. “Logic is Logic.” Now there was the case of our friend McKay: He said to himself, in his resolute way, That a cough which was growing from bad te worse Must be cured in spite of a slender purse. An ocean voyage was out of the question, A Florida trip a useless suggestion; Yet die he wouldn’t! His money he paid For the *‘Golden Medical Discovery,’’ by Dr, Pierce made; And as sound as @ nut is his health to-day— **Logic is logic, that’s all I say.’’ NOVELTIES IN FAIENCE, Flowers and Leaves of Gold and Colors to Take the Lead. The new designs in faience ware will be decorated more beautifully than any thing ever produced in this ware by American manufacturers. Some of the new patterns were seen by a reporter through the permission of the manager of a leading manufacturing company. He said the new feature of the trade is that the American production has be- come so well known that the retailers have no difficulty in selling it. It ig | observed, also, that the taste of the people is more cultivated than for merly. In the common or “printed” ware there can be no artistic work. One of the pieces of faience recently made cost $275. It is a bowl-shaped vase, thirty-eight inches high, of Pompeiian design. The entire body is covered with a heavy coat of bronze and on this is traced pond lilies and leaves in heavy gold work. The cover bears the shape of a Turkish fez and both cover and handle are perforated. A novel ground work is malachite green. It isadeep shade and shows to best advantage under a strong light. It is decorated only in gold. In the new decorations beautiful flower patterns will prevail and colors and gold will take the place of the bronze and gold of last year. An exquisite effect is produced by a wild rose pat- tern in pink and pale blue, set off by gold and shaded by gold and medium brown. Another decoration is a this- tle in full bloom, in gold, with foliage in pale brown. Pond lilies form an- other new design, the blossoms being red, with leaves in deep cnd light green, the whole on light yellow ground. There are also bunches of wortleberries in raised gold on a@ groundwork of pale cream color, or berries in red against a white ground, with foliage to match. There is a new craze for lamps made of faience ware. An extremely hand- some design is a lamp which stands 16} inches high; it is vase-shaped. The body is formed like a bowl and the neck is nearly as long as the body. The latter is covered with wild rose deco- rations in red and gold, and the body decoration consists of five trumpet flow- ers in heavy raised gold on cream groundwork. It is worth $60. Anew feature is the making of Easter novel- ties, among which are swans, full-har- nessed elephants, a boat-shaped shell, bell-shaped olive jars and fanciful bon- bonnieres. All are decorated in flow- ers of gold and bronze.—N. Y. Mail and Express. | The Stereoptican Man Helping the Dem- ocratic Cause in California. The stereoptican man on the bal- cony outside the democratic state cenral committee room, says the San Francisco Examiner, had a well filled squirt gun by his side during the entertainment last night, Sconhchin Mahoney (formerly of the central pacific law department) did not ap- pear, and the squirt gun was not used. People are beginning to ex- pect the exhibition, and last evening by the time President Cleveland's face was thrown on the canvass the spectators already in their places. Mr. Cleveland's picture was loudly applauded, and the applause did not lessen when the face of Allen G. Thur- man fell across the canvass. Mr. Stereoptican man, though he was evidently more than satisfied at the appreciation of the crowd, was out;of humor, the fool moon and an electric light shone full upon the pictures and dimmed them. He got even by showing the moon in all phases of fullness, and street lamps heldup by tipsy men and cigar- sickened boys. One of the cartoons interested tie people greatly and provoked many comments. It represented Harrison and Morton each bestride a barrel and united in a strong embrace. Harrison’s barrel was labled “Free Whiskey” and Morton's “Boodle.” Attached the free-whisky barrel was atag bearing the inscription “For the promotion temperance and morality.” Inthe foreground was grandpa’s hat filled with papers. The legend “Blaine has come home with his heart full of love for workingman and with forty trunks full of foreign goods,” brought forth yells of derision. The stereoptican artist changed the slide and there appeared on the canvass: “Levi P. Morton loves a pacific policy—a canadian pacific policy.” “Did Cleveland ever vote in fayor of Chinese?” demanded the canvass. Cries of “No! Betcher life he did'nt!” and “He ain't built that way!” came from the congregation. William’s Australian Herb Pills.
