A Fat Man's Grievance. “Did you ever notice how a woman gets at her car tickets,” asked an observant Congress- man of aSrar reporter. “ You never did 7gWell, for curiosity’s sake, watch them the next time you get into acar. Now, in these bob-tail cars you have in Washington, I always make it a pint to pass up a lady's fare to the box. A aay oughtn't to be permitted to go stumbling through the car to pay her fare. Well, she will first search all her pockets, every one of them, and will then turn her attention to her satchel. She will hunt through every compartment of it, take out her handkerchief and half a dozen other parcels if she’s been down town, and finally she'll come to her portmonnaie. She'll go entirely through it and light upon her ticket the very last thing. Now It would be just as easy, it seems to me, for the ladies to make that search, if it must be gone through with, before they get into the car. It’s not pleasant for a gentleman, and especially a fat one (like myself) who is get: ting along a little in years, to be poked and thumped about the car, maybe thrown clear off his feet by the sudden turning of a corner, while gallantly endeavoring to smoothe the 'rough path of life in its route over street railroads for the fair sex.

When the trial “knocked ‘The Life of Christ’ higher than |. a kite” Wilkeson had advanced Beecher 210,000 on it and has never yet succeeded in getting either money or manuscript. Itis quite as good as a show to hear Sam tell of the illustrious de- tendant’s visit to the Northern Pacitic office four or five years ago to renew his promise to pay the y.

Mr. Wilkeson has never seen Mr. Beecher or heard froin him since! ————se0—___ FLORIDA TRAIN WEECKERS, Capture of Two Vesperate Gangs by De= tectives Diszuised as Tramps. For several months past a series of serious ac- cidents have occurred on the Florida Central railroad between Jacksonville and Tallahassee. Train after train has been wrecked and the loss to rolling stock and property has been fearful, not to speak of the physical injury done to pas- sengers. The management have used every en- deayor to discover the miscreants who, on se’ eral occasions, have placed obstructions on the track. For a month past special detectives from Atlanta in the garb of tramps and laborers have mingled with suspicious people along the line. Wednesday a party of three men were arrested beyond Tallahassee, at Lloyds, and two others, Jay Graham and Samuel Green, at Darbyville. near Jacksonville. The Lloyds gang consisted of Dick Gilmore, the leader, with Step Ransom and Ben Gibson, all ville wreckers were after money, and confessed toa plan of robbing the mails and the express sate during the confusion of the accident. Dick Gilmore, at Lloyds, was actuated by revenge against the local agent of th road, who had refused to pay for eattle killed by the train. When Gilmore was arrested he detiantly confessed his erime, and rushing forward snatched a pistol from the belt ot John Bryant, one of his captors, and fired three times, slightly wounding Bryant, who retreated a few zed arifie and fired, killing Gilmore instant The others were brought to Ja n= ville jail Thursday. There was much excite- ment along the road over these desperate deeds, and if the prisoners were contined anywhere else they would be lynched. THE SEST DOG STORY YET. A Dog Collector Embezzies Funds With Which to Buy Bread. A wonderful story of animal Intelligence has beeu communicated to the editor of the Revue Scientifique, by Professor Fontaine, of the Lycee at Versailles, and is corroborated in every detail by his companion in the adventure, the professor of mathematics in the same institution. Dur- ing their vacation last autumn these gentle- men found themselves in Inverness. While go- ing about the town they noticed that they were followed everywhere by a beautiful spaniel, of which at first they took no notice. Attracted, er, by the animai’s persistence, they looke at it and found that around its neck was a smiall pad-locked box, with an inscription ask- ing for alms for some poor schools. The pro- fessors are assured that the dog recognized them as tourists by their clothes, and as therefore likely to give willingly. However this may be, M. Fontaine drew a penny from his pocket, and was about to put it in the box, but the dog pre- vented this by holding its head down over the opening, and, seizing the coin in its mouth with great quickness, ran away. A few minutes later thev passed a baker's shop, and saw their col- lecting friend seated on the counter, and appar- ently enjoying to its heart’s content a loaf which it had purchased for the penny! This remark- able story seemed to the editor of the Rerue Scientifique to need confirmation, which was sup- plied by the following terse note from Professor Porchon, the other witness: “I add my eyi- dence with much pleasure to that of my friend M. Fontaine, with regard to the Inverness dog. I saw it refuse to allow a penny to be put in the box it carried, and taking the coin in its mouth, get on the counter of a baker shop. there de- positing it and getting a loaf in exchange.’ How very human!

During the recent campain his voice was heard the loudest of all the shriekers,and inall parts of the country where he was wont to peddle his wares his cries were an intermingling of ‘Cahbege,” “Blaine is the coming man,” “Caoweumers,” “Logan is a rebel-warmer,” and so on without end. While in one of the village stores, just before the election, he was regaling a number of farm- ers with his ideas of political economy, when Farmer George Hamilton bet that the republi- can party would get left. Lespenasse jumped at the offer and put up the stakes, #200, which also included that the losing man should start from Madison square, in New York city, at noon on February Ist, and walk from there to the Capitol at Washington. carrying with him a live pig and arooster. If he completed the walk the money he put up was to be returned to him. — Lespenasse lost, and he has declared his Intention of complying with the terms of the bet, and will start at the time agreed upon.
