The New York State Agricultural Society is a net loser of 10,000 by its recent lair at Rochester. The treasury architect says that the New York postoffice building will be ready for jostoÜce purposes on the 1st of January. Eayard Taylor denies that while in Egypt be found the correspondence which passed between Joseph and Mrs. Potiphar. lie declares that he would not publish it if he had it. The directors of the Amherst College Boating Association have been directed to correspond with Yale and Harvard, with a -vfew to the formation of a New England boating association. The. total length of water-pipes in New York is 400 miles; In Chicago, 350 miles; Brcoklyn, ?00 miles; Boston, 350; Baltimore, 210; Detroit, 170; St. Louis, 150; Montreal, 170; Louisville, 75; Cleveland, 70; Jersey City, CO, and Milwaukee, 40. Sylvester Keith, of LTadley, Mass., found fifty old Spanish mill dollars in his corn field about a fortnight ago. They had apparently been buried in a bag, as the remains of a piece of old checked linen were with them. The coins are of the reign of Ferdinand, and have an old, dead appearance, which indicates long burial. A woman died in Paris, France, recently, at the age of forty-three, from an excess of appetite. She ate every day an average of six and a half pounds of bread and onehalf pound o! meat. It required about nine pounds of bread to completely satisfy her. She earned about half a dollar per day as a neeJle-woman, and was obliged to expend the whole for food. The United States steamer Ashuelot has been cruising up the river Yangtse, in China, tor a distance of over 1,000 miles. The officers were well received by the Chinese officials at Tchang, where the presence of tho Ashuelot created a great sensation among the natives, as many as 00,000 of them gathering on the banks to take a look at her. The great sewer at Saratoga, begun at a distance oftwo miles from Congress Spring, will be completed to Congress Park by tho middle of next month. It is to be extended 2,0t0 feet further eat to a point beyond the L'xcehior and White Sulphur Springs, which will require about ?10,000 additional appropriation. About seven jears ago a boy named Jones inserted a dry pea in his ear and forgot to mention the circumstance to bis parents. The family reside near Springfield, Mass. The pea was removed last week by Dr. W. Shaw Bowen, of Hartford. It had caused great damage to the ear. the hearing having leen nearly gone, and for the past year the child baa suffered terrible pain. A Vienna paper thinks it remarkable that the sailors who took part in the Austrian Polar expedition all come Irom the coast of the Adriatic, near Flume. Captain Wevprechi selected these men in preference to North Germans and Norwegians, being of

opinion that they would endure the cold of polar regions better than northerners; and the hardships of the expedition certainly seem to have had rather a beneficial effect than otherwise on their health and spirits. Ex-Governor Washburn, of Wisconsin, -who 13 probably to be a prominent opponent of Senator Carpenter for the United Stales Senatorsbip, made a speech at La Crosse last Wednesday evening, getting forth his political views. He pronounced himself emphaticallv in favor of a specie currency, ridiculed the 3.65 bond plan ot resumption, and declared that the reciprocity treaty with Canada would be a death blow to Wisconsin. Tho Rev. W. II. II. Murray, of the Park Street Church, Boston, surprised his congregation Sunday by tendering his resignation at tu? close of the morning service; assigning as a reason that he bad hoped in vain for the engagement by the society of an as sistant for him in his pastoral duties, and for it? removal to some more commodious place of worship. The resignation is to take efleet Novemoer 12, at the close ol Mr. Mur ray's sixth year in Park street. It will probably be accepted, and a council be called at once. A writer in notes and queries says in re lation to the nativity of Jefferson Davis: have co recollection ot having heard him state that he was of Welsh extraction; but he has often, in my presence, referred in cidentally to it. On one occasion, during his recent visit to England, in describing some operations in a slate quarry in Wales. he expressed astonishment at the large number ol workmen, whom he likened to swarms of flies, saying he never thought he had so many cousins." Should your correspondent desires more direct enswr, I will write for it to the fountain head." Mr. Thomas William Fitch, now son-in law of Gen. Sherman, wasaseventh warder of NeTf York. Iiis high alliance was the cause of great jubilation in the seventh ward, lie was born in Madison street, near Rutgers, on tho 1st of October, 1S73. Iiis father was a bard working man, and, at an early age, the son was given a chance to earn his own living, i oung x itch, who had four bisters and a younger brother, who has since died, was sent to gram mar School No. 22. The teachers, especially Mr. Durand and Mr. Meiggs, became warmly attached 1 to him. On graduating irum mo Bcuuui, uo uuiameu a situation in the Home Journn office, but did not remain long. lie was .hen about lourteen. Wish ing to learn ' trade, he chose that of a mouldy, an, c-jcame an apprentice in the Kirtitjlmi Ti'vl. XLz s!r:a is is its

foreman of the place, and worked hard to

attain a good position, uy nia ieuow employees he was generally liked. All knew him to be a qoiet, Industrious young man. ' After finishing his trade in 163, he entered the navy as third assistant engineer. lie went to South America and Europe, and has since visited most of the seaports of the world, excepting those of China. lie first saw Miss Marie Ewing Sherman in London, on the 13th of last October. In the navy young Fitch was promoted to be an engineer. When it became known in the Saventeenth Ward that he was to be married to Miss Sherman, the joy of his old companions was - unbounded. Ills old Instructor, Father Mooney, who had predicted a bright future for his pupil, was indeed proud. Lieut. Fitch's parents and his three sisters live in a pretty frame building at 147 Newell street, Green point, whither they moved about lour months ago. On Saturday the engineer and bis bride visited them and were joyfully received. The bride was described by Lieut. Fitch's sister as a "sweet, quiet little body, who was not a bit proud." OnJMondaythe bride and bridegroom started for St. Lous. The engineer bat leave ot absence for one year, and at the end of that time he will retire from the navy and engage in the wire business in St. Louie. A LADY STOCK REPORTER. A SKETCH OF MISS MIDT MORGAN HOW SHE BECAMB THE STOCK REPORTER OF THE TIMES HER INTERVIEW WITH MR. OREELET. The story of Miss Midy Morgan, now and for a long time the stock reporter of the New York Times, is told by the Chicago Tribune at great length. From it an extract covering the main points is here given: Some four or five vears ago there landed in the City of New York an Irish woman, a lady by birth and education, who had been tossed about the world a eood deal, had seen mucn oi me, anu expenencea many vicissitudes of fortune. She had a number ot letters of Introduction in her pocket to various gentlemen in New York among others the late Henry J. Raymond and Horace ureeiey, ana .ur. Leonara Jerome. She came to America to get a living, having been attracted to this country by the accounts she had heard of it in Europe, and from the lavorite impressions produced by such American gentlemen as she had met. The ideal of the great and model re public was, that all the people were edu cated, polite and generous; that individuals were estimated at ineir moral ana intel lectual value ; and that the laws were models ot perfection, always enforced, and never burdensome. Taking one of her letters of ntroduction to Mr. Horace Greeley, she bad i characteristic but decidedly unprofitable nterview with the philosopher, who ap peared in her eyes to be anything but a polite gentleman. The great editor never rose frctn his chair, hardly looked at the person presenting the letter, neglected to offer hor a seat, and continued writing a Tribune editorial, while he held a short and remarkable conversation with her. After receiving a few replies as abort as his questions, he told her she had better go to raising musurooms for the New York market ! And he suggested that 6om9 sandy island off the coast of New Jersey, if one could be found, won Id be a good place to trv the experiment. 1 his philosophy was of a piece with the then stereotyped phrase, Go West, young man." In other words, MR. GREELEY'S WAT of helping people was to tell them to help themselves. He did conclude to write a biief note of introduction to Susan B. Anthony, who was then to be found at the woman's bureau, on Twenty-third street, near tho Academy of Design. In due time the note was presented, when a very spicy interview took place. Miss Anthony wished to know what brought the applicant to America. She said that the streets of New York were so full of Irish and other women who had nothing to do. that it was a pity to swell the tide, she could give no encouragement, and only indulged in a scolding at the presumption of so many Europeans coming to America. Not having a great amount of readv cash on hand, and meeting with no encouragement from the champions of human progress In the metropolis oi the new world. our heroine returned to the Stevens House. at the lower end of Broadway, and encaged to do chamber work on one floor. While thus employed she met one of her father's former servants, who -was at work in the same hotel. He treated her with great respect and kindness. Taking her letter of introduction to Mr. Leonard Jerome, lie received ner witn mucn politeness, saying that he knew her well by reputation in I'aris, ana that an introduction was unnec essary, lie would do all he could for her, and, sending a note to Mr. Manton Marble, ot the World, that gentleman at once sent the lady to Saratoga to write an account of the horse races for his paper. This novel work for a woman to do was well executed, and also well .paid for. But there was no vacancy on the staff of the World, and a permanent position was de sirable. Mr. Henry J. Raymond had suddenly died a few days before she of whom I write had arrived in the country. Nothing daunted, however, when other resources failed, she climbed to the editorial rooms ot the Times, and met the Hon. John Bicelow. editor of the new life of Franklin, who was at that time hlllng Mr. Raymond's nlace. As one ot the letters presented to him was from the Hon. George P. Marsh, Mr. Bice low received the lady kindly, and. after a short conversation, ottered her the position of stock-reporter on tho Times. To his surprise, it was IMMEDIATELY ACCEPTED, and has been filled by Mis3 Midy Morgan, the lady in question, from that day until this! As she passed through the editorial rooms ol the Times office. Miss Morean overheard one of the sub-editors say to his chief: "What have you done?" "Oh ! she'll not hold the place a week," was Mr. Bitrelow's reply. But Miss Morgan is made of dillerent stuff from most women, and she has not only filled her novel position acceptably to the present time, but she is reckoned one of the best reporters in her line of business on the city press, and has won the respectiul admiration of all tfte stock dealers, butchers, drovers and railway men of her acquaintance. She has seen ereat changes in the Times office, too most of those connected with that journal at her ad vent having lelt it. Mr. S. S. Conant and Mr. Sinclair are now with Harper's Weekly; Mr. Bigelow's place is rilled by Mr. Jennings, Maj.Williams,the promoter ol poor children's excursions, long one of the Times editors, is with the new republican paper; and Col. Carr is with the Mail. Miss Morgan has been fortunate in having the steadfast friendship of Mr. George Jones, the publisher ol the Times, and in securing the respect oi an mo men employed on that na Eer. When Miss Morgan commenced the usiness of stock reporting iu New York City, she met with much opposition from the men in the cattle yards at Weehawken. Communipaw, and the stock yards in the upper part ot ma city. She also had to encounter the ill-will of other stock reporters, and agricultural editors, so-called. But, as the truth dawned upon them that she could neither be bought nor sold in the interests ot any clique of stock dealers; that she was as intelligent as honest, and as in domitable and persevering as a New York reporter needs to be; that she was a lady who would report the exact condition of the cat tle, sheep, hog, and horse markets, "though the heavens fell," thsy began to respect her, and in a short time made her paths among them as pleasant as possible.

FLIRTATION,

We lingered out the season. Far into the cooler days. And the votaries of fash Inn Ail had flown their different ways. We bad wandered down. the sea beach With the moonlight o er ns straying; Listened to thenlgtit wind's whisper. Wondered what the waves were saying. And again we stood together Near the ocean's ebb aod flowing, While the blushes of the sunset On the waves were redly giowlng. "Dearest," said she, hesitating "Ah! too long we both have tarried, ' To-morrow, we must part fortver: For, my darling, I am married!" "Marriedl" I exclaimed, upstarting: "Married!" murmured with a sigh; "Then indeed U this a parting, For my darling so am I." FRIGHTFUL. FRAUD. INSIDE OF AN INSURANCE COMPANY. A MAMMOTH SHAM IM. MENS 8 BUSINRSS WITH 20 CAPITAL MOSEY OBTAINED OS RAISED CERTIFICATES THE MANAGERS HELD FOB PERJCRV, CONSPIRACY AND FORGERY. The New York Sun of October 10 shows up the bursting of a huge bobble: On Tuesday evening a veteran forger lately out o! Sing Sing prison was arrested in Brooklyn, and taken to Philadolrhia on the midnight express by private detectives. The charge against him was that he was implicated in an extraordinary swindle, somewhat resembling the collapse J Palisades Insurance Company of Jersey City, but of far greater magnitude. The principles in the case are said to be prominent insurance men and bankers of Philadelphia, and the story ol their opera tions is one of surprising interest. They conceived and attempted to carry out a deep laid scheme to make fortunes on a Bbam capital. The story of the Philadelphia officers is that in February last the Central Fire Insurance Company was organized in that city, with W. D. Halfman, a millionaire, as president, W. H. Halfman as treasurer and secretary, and for directors, John Nicholson Elbert, W. J. Moodie, C A. Duy and I Thurlow. The conspirators represented to the insurance authorities of Pennsylvania that they had a capital of ?:i00,000 invested in various railroad and other securities, and that their stock had been subscribed for as follows: P. Thurlow, JKX) shares, 515,000; C. A. Duv, 200 shares, $10.000; W. II. Halfman, 100 shares, $3.000; W. D. Hallman, 800 shares, ?40,C00; W. J. Moodie, 200 shares, $ 10,000; Moodie. Gross V: Co.,40 shares, 2,000; and W. D. Halfman, 1,550 shares held in trust. ?7S,000. The securities which the company had purported to consist or 530,000 in mort gages; 600 shares of Philadelphia it Reading rail mar? etr -!.- -JV aliaroa rt T.attlr.h t KfW, V"-'!' , s JJ vJ SA UVU(U Valley railroad stock, 35,500; 500 of the Delawaie. Lackawanna A Western railroad, ?26,S44; 300 ol the Central railroad of New Jersey, 31,875; 100 of the Pennsylvania central, and 3,uou .ot the .Lebanon Paper Company. A charter was granted to the company, and in July they opened a magnificent olfice in Chestnut street. They had it elegantly furnished, and employed a large corps of clerks. John Nicholson El bert acted as manager, and he inspired confidence in the company, being a member of the Philadelphia Board of Trade, and well connected. The company ran along smoothly and with every indication oi having A PROSPEROUS EXISTENCE until about the middle of August, when Mr. J. M. Foster, one of the 'commissioners of insurance of Pennsylvania, became suspicious that all was not right with it. He made an Investigation, and assertained that the corporation was a sham, and its entire se curities were forged and altered to many times their original value. It was the oi l story of Montague Tigg's "Anglo-Bengalee Disinterested Loan ana Mutual Life Insurance Company," with its elegant oflice, its pretentious array of capital, and its outward signs ot stability and success. All aixmt the company was sham. The officers say that Commissioner Foster made two examinations into the accounts of the company before the full extent of the swindle was discovered. Their books showed that $200,000 had been paid on account ol stock, but that amount was all in checks that proved to be worth less. The Union Banking Company heard of the suspicions againstjtbe new company ,and remembered that it had'lentitf 10.000on two certificates of Philadelphia A. Reading rail road stocKs. one or tne certificates was put nnder a powerful microscope, and it was seen tbat it originally represented one share 01 stocK, nut that tno number had been erased with chemicals, and 300 shares writton in. The other certificate was found to have been altered in the same way, except that it was raised to only 200 shares. The discovery led to an inspection ol the rest ol the securities representing the capital stock of the insurance company, and the result proved that they had been similarly tampered with. The certificates were each issued for one share of tbe stock, and had all been raised to different numbers, some as high as 500. One certificate of the Deleware and Lackawanna, changed lrom 100 to 500 shares, had tbe name of W. D. Haliman, the president of . a 1 . . -a" tne company, uueu in, dui as tne name could not be found on the books of the company, it Avas thought that it had been forged, to enable the holder to effect a loan. Most of the stock was transferred to J. N. Elbert. Commissioner Foster made a report of the fraudulent character of the company to the attorney-general, and the latter ordered it to be suspended. President Halfman, the treasurer, and the directors ot the company were subsequently arrested on charges of perjury, conspiracy, and forgery. On tbe hearing of their case before a Philadelphia magistrate THE STATEMENTS made by the president and the treasurer under oath when the company was formed were introduced. President Halfman's was to tbe effect that he had subscribe 3 for $128,000 worth of stock, and that bo had paid for it in three checks drawn to w. T. Libert, a banker of 321 Walnut street. The treasurer made oath that he had received the president's checks, and had given them to the finance committee to deposit. There was no entry in the books to show that they had been deposited. Mr. vv . l. Libert, a respect ed banker.testilied tbat President Halfman's cbecKS on him were of no value, and that he had not authorized him to draw any on him for any sum. Tbe witness said that the manager ol the company was his nephew. The officers and directors were each held in $20,000 ball. The only officer who borrowed money from tbe company was J. N. Elbert. He disappeared when Com missioner Foster mado his exposure and detectives looked for him in St. Louis, Chicago and Detroit, where he has relatives. with whom it was thought he would be likely to communicate. After a three weeks' search he was caught in an obscure street in Philadelphia, where he had gone to keep an appointment. in tbe time that the officers were looking for him the organizers of the company tried to compromise the case and get back the fraudulent certificates on which they had obtained loans. Mr. . Jones, vice president of the Read ing railroad, whose stock was among the lorgod securities, would not consent to any settlement, but insisted on tbe prosecution of the guilty persons. He emploj-ed pri vate detectives to silt the conspiracy to the bottom. Elbert, tie asags, in. aar-

ance a few days, when he made a confession, lie aimhted tbat tbe company was fraudulent, and that all tbe officers'were implicated. He said the company wa started on one share of Heading railroad stock, worth about 07. Tbe certiilcate of the ttock was bought in !he came ol Caroline Elbert aod Frank B. Elbert, without their knowledge, and after t eirtg raised to 200 shares was fraudulently transferred to him to enable him to get a loan on it. The object in altering the names was to make detection difficult if the forgery was discovered. A loan of 5,000 was obtained from the Union Banking Company on the certifl cate, and then another certificate was

bonzht. This was raised, and another loan negotiated. Tbe money which was realized in this way was me J to' hire tbe office and buy . . . OTHER CERTIFICATES r of different companies for one share of stock each, and, these were raised to represent 5300,000, the capital of the company. Elbert said it was the intention ot the company te keep all the money it received for policies. When it bad a large risk to pay the underStanding was that the company was to contest tbe claim, and fail at the last moment. It was also the plan' to sell the shares of the com nan v. held in trust by the president, to innocent persons, and never to redeem them.- The officers proposed to take up the forged paper left with the Union Banking Company as soon a3 tney caa tne money to spare. President Halfman was asserted to be the nrojctor of the fraud. Libert said that the erasures on tho certificates and the forgeries wr re tho handiwork of a man who had ben in roduoed to him as Charles Iii pie v. The iir.roduetlon was giyen in Taylor's hoteL Jersey City, by Louis W. French, tbe seare tary of the fraudulent Hoboken Insman.e Company, who is a cousin to Elbert. He added that be paid Ripley 2,500 to go to Philadelphia and forge the certificates, and that he ad dressed letters to him at a saloon at 303 Bridgo street, Brooklyn. The proprietor of the place said tbat the person who got the letters sent there was known to him as Charles Ostend. Detectives watched the saloon for ten days, and on Tuesday they saw a man answering Riplev'a description leave ice pi ace ana go to 2ui Washington street. Detectives Folk and Corwin of the Brooklyn police and another officer arrested him in the evening while he was taking a drink in the saloon. He wes identified as Jack Canter, a noted forger. When ue was told what be was wanted for he volunteered to go to Philadelphia without a requisition. Canter was released about two years ago Jrom State prison, where he served fourteen years for forging old State Bank bills. During the administration of Warden Hubbell be acted as book-keeper for the prison, and was caught altering tne sentences of prisoners on the records. ue is saia to re implicated in tbe great railroad bond forgery. He Is accomplished. speaking eleven languages.

THE EXTRAVAGANT PRINCE. THE DEBTS CONTRACTED BY THE PRIXE OF WALES THE QUEEN'S .ASSISTANCE REQUIRED THE ASSERTED MORTGAGING OF WINSDOR CASTLE. In Smalley's letter to the New York Tri bune, the following reference is made to the debts of a royal young blood of England: "What is truth?" said jesting Pilate, "and would not stay for an answer." For the truth about the prince of Wales and his debts the English public, not quite In a jesting mood, is still waiting, and the conflict of evidence is sucb that the longer it waits the more it is puzzled. Two days ago we had the positive asseition of the Daily Telegraph that parliament was not to be asked to pay, that the queen had not paid, and that tho prince had not in fact contracted any debts. I ventured to suggest some reasons for receiving those wholesome denials with caution, and have since looked into the other daily papers and the weekly papers which come out to-day for further confirmation or information of some kind about the matter. Never was the discret ion of the London press more remarkable. The daily journals keep absolute silence. Tortures would not extract a word fiom them. This is one of those awiul topics which it is not decorous to discuss. Every London daily is edited on the theory that none of its readers read any other papers; so they simply ignoro tbe question started by the Telegraph, judging, wisely, perhaps, that the scandal of such an exposure as that made by the World can best be healed over by tacitly agreeing that there is no ecandal. But now comes that terrible spoiled child of the weekly press, Vanity Fair, with revelations of a still more shocking nature than the others. The clever writer whom I take to be in fact tbe editor who does its weekly "cigarettes," remarks in his aunty way that he sees the newspapers are talking aut the Prince of Wales debts. But the fact is, says he, the prince fcas no debts, the qneen having paid them at a rather heavy sacrifice. It was to enable her to raise money to pay them that the bill passed last session was brought in a bill authorizing her majesty to dispose of her private real estate by will or otherwiso "for one or can not raise 600,000 or so at a moment's notice without giving good security." And, unless this outspoken writer is misinlormed, "Osborne and Balmoral may UNDERGO THE COMMON LOT of estates, and their title deeds pass into a conveyancer's chamber." Osborne and Balmoral are two estates, one in the Isle of Wight, tbe other in Scotland, on ono or the other of which the queen passes most of the time she does not spend at Windsor. It is not easy to believe that it was necessary to raise money by mortgage on such properties. Her majesty's private fortune is commonly reckoned at three or four millions Sterling, and it would be simpler to sell pledge stocks, or, at any rate, to choose other real estate. All 1 can say is that the author of these statements is more likely than most persons to know the truth, and more likelv to tell it. The present account is probably, to say the least of it, what is believed in circles very near tbe prince. The paragraph is dated, I should add, September 11, three days before, that of tbe Daily Telegraph, though published two days later. But it is followed by other "cigarettes'' of tbe 15th, 17th and isth, so that there was plenty of opportunity to correct or cancel the first, had the writer desired to. In none of the other weeklies can I discover any reference, to the debts, except in tho Examiner, which remarks, satirically, tbat tbe Daily Telegraph . seems to have been in a mood to deny everything except the existence of the individual, and then grimly says: "We are not in a position to corroberato the Daily Telegraph as to whether the alleged debts have been, contracted. We are equally in the dark whether or no they have beon paid. But we are glad to confirm the Daily Telegraph on ono . point. There certainly is a very small modicum of truth in the statement tbat the member tor Leicester has addressed his constituents on the subject." Tbe reticence and mystery thus far practiced can not go on forever. The truth will have to be told authoritative ly, and the longer the authorities hesitate about telling it, the worse will be the effect should the truth happen to be unfavorable

to the prince or liia advisers.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE SITTING ON THEODORE'S KNEE SHE WON'T TELL WHAT MRS. TILTON TOLD HER. A reporter of the Chicago Tribune had an amusing interview with Miss Anthony, Monday evening. He writes it up as follows: Last night tbe ladies of the Illinois State Woman's Suffrage Association were on the qui vive, for it was known in chosen circles that the pioneer of female suffrage was even then on the incoming train, en route for Chicago to attend the mass meetine on Wednesday of this week. Mrs. Fer nando Jones, the presfdent of the associa tion, was flitting hither and thither in her hospitable home, seeing that the rooms were heated to just suca a comiortaoie tern perature, that the dinner was ready the moment the distinguished guest arrived, that Mr. Jones left on time to escort "Aunt Susan" from the train, and that no possible comfort could be omitted. Tbe time passed. Tbe writer had read an account of the proceedings of the trial of Susan B. Anthony for illegal voting, and had arrived at this sentence: "Is there a man who will not agree with me that to talk of freedom without the ballot is mockery is slavery to tbe women of this republic, precisely as New England's orator, Wendell Phillips, at the closo of the late war, declared to be to tbe newly emancipated black men?" when I raised inv eyes and saw a lady-like figure In a black and gray striped dress, and Paisley shawl, and sensible bonnet, standing before me, satchel in hand. " It was Miss Anthony herself, not a shade grayer, not a whit older in appearance, than when I last saw her. She had tust arrived at the Twenty-second street station, on the Chicago & Michigan Southern train, haviDg delivered the last fifteen addresses at Benton Harbor yesterdav. In a few moments she was relieved of her outer garments by ready hand?, and seated in a luxurious arm-chair, where she eat bolt upright; for Su?an is not a lean-back-die-away sort of a woman, no matter how hard she works. We all gathered around her; Mrs. Jones sat on her right, smiling and elegant in blue Bilk, trimmed with chantilly lace, and sparkling with diamonds; and directly in front of her, seated on a low fauteuil. was her only daughter, a school-girl, and a very pretty one at that; a classical preparatory of last year, one ot the invading young ladies of Prof.- Burrough's college, a curly-headed, blue-eyed girl, who is born to a radical love of all tbat elevates woman. As . MISS ANTHONY APJCSTED her eold-bowed glasses and looked from one to another, her eyes filled with tears. "Ah!" she exclaimed, in her quick, nervous manner, "it is good to be where there is love in the atmosphere; it magnetizes you and gives you strength !" After supper I asked her a direct question: "Is woman suffrage as strong an interest as evet?" Miss Anthony "Stronger than ever; but the men are all working now, electioneering with might and main. You see, we never reach the workingmen, the day laborers. The politicians are afraid of losing the votes of those men, and give us the cold shoulder to secure them. The working class is not educated to understand or appreciate universal suffrage. They think women are well enough as they are, the greatest mistake in the world." You will never have Mr. Beecher for a leader again, Miss Anthony?" "We never had any man for a leader Mrs. Jones "Oh, yes, Miss Anthony. There was Theodore Tilton!" Miss Anthony "That is so; we did have him, but only as a meditator; he thought ho could unite the New York body of suffragists with the Boston clique. The idea of that boy thinking he could teach his grandmothers!" "Was he not available in your work?" "No man is particularly available, they know too much are too overbearing. They all want to be autocrats. Mrs, Tiiton was chairman of our executive suffrage association for one year. If you will remember, in one of her published letters she alludes to a meeting at which she presided, and said, That blessed old Susan ran over to me and said that I had done as well as my lord and master could have done. You see the most acceptable praise must be filtered through a man's esteem." , "Miss Anthony," I began, plunging desperately into tbe middle of the subject at heart, "you have been through almost all kinds ot scenes since last we met. . Almost in jail tor voting illegally. Did you pay vour line?" "No; and I never mean to. The Smith sisters have done more than any of our con ventions by . . RSFUSISO TO TAY THEIR TAXES when they can not vote," - "Will you vote at the next election?" . Miss Anthony "I would if I could go home and register. But I must keep on with my work in the West." Well, Miss Anthony, you only did one foolish thing; that was when you sat no Theodore Tilton's knee." Miss Anthony smiled all over her face. "Well," she said, slowly and with a sort of grim humor, "that was mv oniv lapse irom rigorous virtue. AUUio men bad declared

that Sosan was so sour she couldn't get a a husband, and I thoaizht I would

show them I could sit on a voung man's knee just like any foolrsh girl. I was In Rochester, when a reporter called to see me. Now, I will not be interviewed and I did not deny that I sat on Theodore's knee, and I never have denied it yet. The next day a long article came out 'Susan puts her foot on it, and stamps it a lie.' You see I don't deny it. Why should I not enjoy my opportunity to be womanly and loving whu I have been called an ogre all my life, and everybody claims to know.that I never htl a chance to be married." " , . What are you going to do on Wednaday, Miss Anthony?" Miss Anthony "Just give me one mos screech tor freedom ! That's what we ha been doing for twenty-five years." J What sympathy do you get from tl crusaders?" , "The crusaders have ' helped suflraje more than they have helped temperano. Every radical step a woman takes in the right direction helps the suffrage quei tion." "The masa meeting on Wednesday wil renew tbe agitation. It is presumabb there will be a large attendance. Do yot expect many notable women?" Miss Anthony "The best and most intelligent women of tbe country have beet hearlrg me speak. I anticipate a fall attsncance. Miss Phoebe Couzins, a young lawvr or St. Louis, will be present and spe'al. The Rev. Mrs. Lathrop, of Michgan, will be there. We want b break up the ring. The present polilicii body Is corrupt; any party would be corrmt after 1G years of political life. I don't caB an iota whether it's a democratic or republcan party, its too long a term." Is that all, Miss Anthony?" "I want to see every woman vote for herself, through her own personality, her owi mdividuslity, and not through the mou h of some man who has not the faintest exception of HER NEEDS. " Tho work is going on, and the time is nar when everv woman will um tha intoii;,, God has given her, to maintain her tne atanuaru oi womannood." Here I made a digression; Miss Anthony was looking into the future of her sex wth calsu complacence, when I attacked her wth a question so artfully put, as I believed as to allow of no evasion. The gist of It wis: "Did you, Miss Anthony, sleep with Ms Tilton one night, and did she tell youal' about Mr. Beecher?" .How little I k.-ew the strategy of that wise general. 3h looked at me with mild renroar-h in he expressive gray eyes. -Yes, I did eei wun ivirs. niton at different times, bu I shall not tell the world what I kow or do not know. If I am summoned bfor the courts, and examined legally a rwit nafifl it will Iva - . a . . Tw- : - y uuiy 10 o, million think I can remember all the tbingitba have been told me in confidence durig a. myjourneyings. The time is comingvhe a woman will be answerable only to Ersd" lor her own deeds. It is an abomial mixture of deceit, and either of the pens ready to sacrifice Mrs. Tilton to say hitself. Tbe fact Is, if a woman gl herself to a man, either in mrriae or out of marriage, he! vll trample her into the dirt to serve bs on ends. Women sell themselves tocchep. They sacrifice themselves on the sp)t, ad it does not matter whether the nan s any brains or not; it is the creatim oer again. Old Adam said, 'The womantemjed me and I did eat.' Beecher sas, 'he woman tempted ma and I did not eat.' In both cases she gets the blame." lias lnthooy is looking well; if she vere hly some man's wile, mother or graidmoher, sbe vould be described as a dignäed. serene-faced elderly lady. As sh is at old maid, she la written down a vixm tie is really a jolly, social toul, with awonerful maffuetic flow of speech, that dmot persuades every one who bears hr in her own way of thinking. She is hnestm her convictions, and has worked tbemosof her life like tbe Irishman, "Fre grais, for Tl At hi P IT X-i t Ii -t f n smnT va 1 I'K nhfaAf ot the present meeting is to reuite tho uiouJUOJB, k3 UU CUU VfllUOD D3i Uf-ll UtriU from Europe.

In the New York Herald of Stnrday is found an account of the recet billiard match, in which Lngland aü r ranee crossed the cues : Last light the . match game between Rudlphe and Cook, the great English champion, was played at Irving Hall, in be presence of abotit 1.000 persons. Mr.Cook is of medium height, with black baiand fall red whiskers.- He played with a fery slender cue, tspennss down to a very ine point at tho Lead. The button Is niuc: smaller man . that generally used hy AraerCans and the handle rather .short. Cor plays with quickness, now and then iiikicg brilliant spurts, but he has rut the Cce touch or exquisite idea of force for which Rudolphe is famous. The English table on whici the French game was played last nigit is six feet by thirteen, with six pocket . The cushions aie much more sensitive ttan those used on American tables, and are rounded off instead of being sharp bevelled as ours are. The balls used last night were not of tbe ordinary size, being very mall. Tbe smallness of the balls and tbe sensitiveness of the cushions made the former hop and bound on the table bed whenever they came in contact with the latter. Notwithstanding the six pockets there was little or no holing of balls. From the beginning ot the game until tbe finish Rudolphe' superiority continually manifested itself, although he made no extraordinary play. The play as a general thing was very poor; iu fact, far below the general run.of GOOD AMATETR PLAYEBS. From the first to the twenty-fifth inning Rudolphe made 63, to Cook's 23. He failed to count eight times during this part of the game, and Cook had eighteen zeros to his score. During the next twenty-five innings RudolDhe made oniv 29. while Cook streng AG laftptni, Ihacunra at. thA onrl gt tViA fittieth inning, 92 to 71, In favor of Rudolphe.; The score at the close of the seventy-fifth Inning Bhowed tbat since the score call made above, Rudolphe bad made 26 points, whil the English champion had rolled up 52 making the score 123 to 118, in his faror.

Up to this point tP highest average was 1 7-10, and the best in was 15, which Rudolphe m4o in tbe seventy-sixth inninp. 1 In he ono hundred and twenty-filth Innfig the ecore stood Rudolphe, 5; Cook, S.S. In the 171th inning Rudolprbe made a illiant run of 20, in which be displayedhis knowledge of the advantage to bedswn from the pockets. Up to this stsge 0 tbe game the maximum run ivas 16, whid he scoured in the 53d inning. In tbe 150tl inning the score stood Rudolphe, :?07: fook. Jl.; and, notwitbstandUg the uphill work he had before him, Mr.Cook worked Ifavely on, struggling against hope and RuOlpbe. In the 172d Inning Rudolphe made t handsome run of 22, wkich put him tarXyond tbe reach of his eraser, for the score gave him 350, to the 12 of Cook. In be 125th inning Mr. Store read the string"352 for Rudolphe, 243 fcr Cook." The gane closed in the 204th inning, Rudolphe soring his last hundred, leaving Cook'a counters at 274.
