How did the big politicians, Harrison, Reed, McKinley and other Presidents in wish, learn of the victory of Tom Pilatt's faction in the Republican party almost before Tom himeelf felt sure of his pewer? The olty suddenly fills up with these inquirers for lodging in the White House almost at the moment that Tom completes a new deal with Tammany Hall. Indeed, they are on the ground when the public sees the first manifesta- tlon @f the deal in the Board of Alller- men, taking shape in an agreement as to laying out the new Assembly districts. ‘Tom will have the districts bounded #0 as to give him the delegates to the Re- publican Convention, which will alro give ‘Tammany most of the Assemblymen and Aldermen. At the same time news comes that Tom hag beaten young Famett in his own county ofChemung. All signs indeed Point to a Tioga triumph. Now, how did ell these astute candidates learn this thet they suddenly flock to town and at- tempt to capture Platt to act for them?

A BOTTLE OF DIAMOND “SEC.” The finding of pearls in oysters on the half shell has been an intermittent but not encouraging industry in these parts. Once in one hundred or one thousand years @ policeman strides up to m sidewalk stand, orders a halt- dozen Blue Points and discovers a three or four pound pearl in one of them. Then there ie a sudden wild desire on the part of the public to eat raw oysters, but the next pearl trove is heard of only after a very long and un- enthustastic interval. At present there is likely to be a boom in hunting sealed bottles that come dancing down the river or sailing o'er the briny deep. One was picked up at Port Jervis the other day that con- tained 4 note from three young ladies and had @ $10) diamond nestling In its in- terior. There may be other bottles of this kind waiting to be picked up, but we wouldn't advise any young man who | has a steady job for the Summer to give | {t up and dally his time along the rea beaches or river banks looking for bot- tled diamonds.
