The President Pays His Fare-What We Know Abont It.

Tn rtdiculotta import that the Prcsi dent and party r*fu«d to pay railroad hire on their return from General T'. in inns' funeral—now ret at Vest by the authentic statement of ]|rA Chßluh, of the Army m 4 Navy Gazette— hrtnntotntnd a little Incident illustrative of Gen. Grant’s quiet way of movin# among hie fellow men. One bright SajPliath mtuning, la October, 1888, juat before th* Prudential election, we were walking eouthwart on YFabasli avenue, in Chicago, when we eaw the General and two gentlemen, probably members of bis staff. In plainest citizen's attire, a f«V steps before us, going the same way. thousand* met the imortmtious trio, but not one of the vast throng turned tft 16ok St them. Ws felt an almost Uncontrollable Impulse to cry out “there goes the next President of the United Btates,” in order to aee how suddenly the human current would reverse At last, without having been, recrxrniztd by any one, the three entered the Church or the Messiah—Robert Laird Collier's. We, of oourse, followed. The Sexton showed them to a by-no-means prominent seat. The sermon was eloquent, as Mr. Collier’s sermons always sre, but we may be pardoned for not remembering whither or not there were any outcroppings of Unitafinnism la it; for it was not possible to altogether refrain from a study of General Grant’s face aa he listened with profound attention to the discourre and participated reverently in the services. Stepping up to the pastor, after the benediction, we asked him if he knew he had been preaching to General Grant! He answered that he had just been so informed—a few persons having by this lime discovered bis presence. After a few hasty greetings the General stepped quietly away, and proceeded by the shortest Cut to State street, he entered a street car. We found it convenient to enter the same one. Again ire felt an impulse to produce an excitement by stepping up and saying, “Good morning, General Grant,” butr included we had no right to expose him to annoying curiosity. Had wc done so, how many would have failed to offer him a seat? As it was, he stood up, and when the conductor came along put into bis band a .piece of fractional currency—to which the success of the Uirtdn arms had given all Its value-and took his change in a careful and business-like manner. Here was a man whose greatness was at tested by deeds, ’the record -of which covered thousands of pages, and were destined to cover tens of thousands more, of the world’s most thrilling and glorious history a man whose name was recorded iu military annals among the few great captains the reoe has produced—a man destined in a few months to be the Chief Magistrate of the greatest of the nations, not deeming it: beneath his dignity to mingle unknown among his fellow-men, and so anxious to avoid being the object of curiosity and applauding demonstration—so grateful to most distinguished people—that he suffered the inconvenience of a crowded street car to escape themlt was not until he had alighted at RAndolfih street that we spoke to him, and then only in a quiet way, which did not drew the attention of hall a dozen persons. Before the warmth of his friendly grasp was gone, he had disappeared in a West Division car; and that was the last we ever eaw of General Grant. We feel honored to have been a member of the convention which nominated him for President, glad to have been able to write and speak in favor of his election, and rejoiced that we have been blessed with sufficient poverty to keep us from going to Washington to bedevil him ior un office! —Lafayette Journal.

Recovery of a Supposed Dead Man.

The terrors of the gray?, the fear of death, and the terrible calamity of being buried alive, have all been forcibly pictured score than once ; but any picture, however dearly drawn, must fail to leave the impression produced of either that is obtained by experience; and in no case can any one be so alive t* these terrors and fears as the one who, being considered 4^d, : is treated as such. For some time pafet a German, known by the name of Frederick, worked in a dining saloon on First street as waiter. His constitution was weak, and the confinement necessarily attending his employment affected him.vßry much. He consulted some physiciaha, who pronounced him consumptivt*aiß4advised him to give up his employment, and put himself under the care of a afcysician, or goto the hospital. He decided on adopting the latter course, andjaptne short time ago went to one of ournospitals. His condition rather grew worfa daily, and 'lately he was confined to bed;* and little hopes entertained of his recovery. About a week ago he grew still worse. He was visited in the morning by the physician, who considered his recovery hopeless. During the day he grew and when the doctor paid his evening vi6it he found him pulseless, and pronounced life extinct The body was immediately removed and placed in the dead-house attached to the hospital. It ■wasjlegjosited in a case where two other bodies had already been placed, and between them. The cover was put on, and the keeper of the dead-house retired -for tha night About midnight a loud Bcreaming and yelling, of the most unearthly character, was heard in the dead-house. The watchers heard it, the patients heard the party who had charge -of this portion of the building heard it also. A

silent sense of fear, of terror the most terrifying, stole over them all, and they concluded that a scene was being enacted similar to that witnessed by Tam O’Shanter ajt Alloway, where he saw “ warlofts and Witches in a dance." The keep er qf the de&d-h*use. was sought after, btft weitig aware of what be was required to dm he sought concealment, preferring tout the ghosts fight it out among themselves, rather than attempt to become peacemaker. The yells and shouts in the dead-house still continued, while the door receive*! an- occasional bang, accompanied by the demand: “ Open the door; let me otdff At last the keeper was prevailed upoiv to proceed to the dead-house and oparwtfcrdoor, when the ghostiy torm of the German, whose life had been a few hoti|B previously pronounced extinct, and who had been dressed in the robes of the depd, stood before them. The keeper fainted outright, while the terrified 'German rushed headlong through ; the long halls and corridors of the building, spreading dismay and terror as he went. Some more CQratgeQUs than the rest Caught and arrested him in his frantic career, but the next instant the poor German fell on the floor in a swoon. The physician was at once sent for and restoratives used, by which he was restored to consciousness, and although he is still weak and under treatment-in the hospital, his recovery is considered certain, and only a matter of timA He*now walks about pretty stoutly, and is permitted to go outside tbe hospital Jimitx He visited his late employer a few days, ago, and related to him the fact that, kkriMf.'JOt into a'tranee, it was thought he was : dead, fie was rethe when he returned to consciousness We gjsstfU be told it, himself: p Vel, vcn.

Sot to be Caught.

The Democracy are sinning away their days of grace. A part of them are still pondering the colored vote, and wondering by wiut art it cat) be excluded from the polls. If the negro can’t be stripped of the right of suffrage, then the next point is, by what manner of net can he be trapped. There is much conflict of opinion as to what will constitute a taking.device. A part of the press are of opinion that the Democratic hook can be so concealed in the bait of loud and noisy profession, that the unsuspicious voter will take an experimental nibble just to taste the quality, and get impaled, when he can be landed on the party platform, and be made to lie still, even if lie “ flops ” a lit-" tie at first at the strangeness of the company he finds himself in. Others propose tiie dip net game. Put the negro's name .as a candidate for some office on their ticket, and try to scoop In his coni panions while they stand aghast, amazed at the effrontery of the proceeding. Others still ad vim the gill net,—excita. the negro’s wonder at the racket they make with the party tom-toms, and get him to look through the interstices, when they expect to fasten him.

But the trouble is that,-while they are discussing the device, the days of grace are swifily gliding, and time is about out. The colored than has takes up the study of party traps, and .has grown thoughtful. Why do those who have so long reviled him now want his vote? What has he done that they should love him? If he leaves his friends to aid his enemies, will he make them friends, or will they only use him to get Into power, and then return him to his old condition? Why should he pite the Democratic hook when he has already all he desired or asked—equality before thejaw, as a man and citizen—and could get no more, and is certain of (getting less if once caught ? The opep> discussion cf the Democratic press, of their hopes and plans to hedge the negro vote, is a most refreshing literary treat in these times of general dullness. Like “confession," it is good forthe Republican soul. There is an air oi innocence and verdancy about it quite past the .ordinary run of humor. However, the conclasions are aR- alike—" the Democracy are.going to have the negro—you see if they, don’t. I ' CM&ago Republican.

Men and Mud.

I am no advocate of angel ism in its popular sense, unless of the avenging sort. I would rather be scolded out of my wits, or my wits out of me, seven times a week, than always be my dear led from morning until night. But if ever the meekest of the meek has her patience tried beyond calm endurance, it is in the spring of the year, when “ the buds begin to put forth their tiny leaves, and the birds come back,” and—the men folks track in mud enough to stack a mountain. There is, really, nothing more vexing than to clean the porches and floors, and, as soon as dried, have a man, or a small army of men and boys,, come stalking in with muddy boots and upset all the labors for cleanliness. You men need not wonder that women scold, and follow youaround with a housecloth or a mop. If you never expect to do another act in your life, clean your boots well before entering a clean apartment. Don’t expect to be greeted with smiles if you bring in mud. It is expecting altogether too much. It is not a ministration of love that women delight in, to be eternally cleaning after some careless, heedless fellowAnother thing. Hdy housewives rejoice in well-kept stoves—bright, cleanlooking stoves. Ah! but what work a “ beast ” of a. man will make with one in ten minutes ; mounting his boots on tbe hearth, to thaw off the half-frozen mud, he makes it look like a mud-pond. Some men have the habit of pawing the ashes out on the hearth, opening the wrong doors, putting in some huge “ chunk ” that is altogether too large, which simmers and smokes everybody to distraction before it settles down into the stove’s comprehension. And then the men who spit on the stove, at the stove, in it, and convert the wood-box into a spittoon! Indeed, it is sufficient cause for divorce. When I get to be Judge-in-Chief of the Divorce Courts, I shall inquire particularly into the spitting habits of the men, and if they look well to their boots. If their record in these matters is not clear, there will be no hope for them. Only a woman can sympathize with a woman in such matters. If you think it a “ silly thing for a woman to make such a fuss about such small matters,” you may take the unction home to your soul that you don’t know anything about large matters. We can get along with stinginess, crabbedness, crossness, ail your manish egotism, but we can not stand your careless slovenliness! You must either look to your boots, or expict to be annihilated the moment you cross our threshold. It is a great deal easier for you to leave the mud and straw and gravel out of doors, than for us to clean it out afte.r you. It is your duty to provide scrapers, and brooms, and rugs, sticks, stones and planks, if need be, to facilitate boot-clean-ing. There 1 I intended at the outset to talk gently to you about the “muddy season,” and with winning words land ways show you what monsters of heedlessness you have hitherto been. But instead, I have scolded like a fish-woman ; and unless it is a new thing to you, you will go on as heretofore, just the same as if I hadn’t lifted up my voice in behalf of clean stoves and floors. — Rural New Yorker.

A “Gamekeeper’s” Joke.

A friend of mine, said Barnum, Mr. James D. Johnson, lived in a fine house a quarter of a mile west of Iranistan, and as 1 owned several acres of land at the cor ner of two streets directly adjoining his homestead, Tsurrounded the ground with high pickets, and introducing a number of Rocky Mcmntain elk, reindeer and American deer, I converted it into a deer park. Strangers passing by would naturally suppose that it belonged to Johnson’s estate, and to render the illusion more complete, his son-in-law, Mr. S H. Wales, of the Scientific American , placed a sign in the park, fronting on the street, and reading: “ All persons are forbid trespassing on these grounds', or disturbing the deer. J. D. Johnson.”

I “acknowledged the corn,” and was much pleased with the joke. Johnson was delighted, and bragged considerably of having got ahead of Barnum, and the sign remained undisturbed for several days. It happened at-length that a party of friends. to visit him from New York arriving in thq evening.- Johnson told them he had got a capital joke on Barnum; he would not explain, but said . they should see it for themselves the next morning. Bright and early he led them into the street, and, after conducting them a proper distance, wheeled them around in front of the sign. To his dismay, he discovered that I had added directly under his name the words, “ Gamekeeper to PT. Barnum.” His friends, as soon as they understood the joke, enjoyed it mightily, but it was said that neighbor Johnson laughed out of “ the wrong side of his mouth. „

Thereafter Mr. Johnson was known among liis friends and acquaintances as “ Bamum’s gamekeeper.” Borne time afterward, when, I was President of the Pequonnock Hank, it was my custom every year to give a grand dinner at Iranistan to the directors, and in making preparations I used to send to certain Jriends in the West for prairie chickens and Other game, i>n one occasion a large box, marked “P. T. Barnum, BridgeportGame,” was lying in the express office, when Johnson seeing it, and espying the word “game,” said: “ Look here !” I am ‘ Bamum’s gamekeeper,’ and I’ll take Charge of this box.’ And “ take charge” of it he,,did, carrying it home and notifying me ! that it was m his possession, and that, as he was my gamekeeper, ho would “keep ” this, unless I sent him an order for a new hat. He knew very well that I would give fifty dollars rather than be deprived of the Voi ; and as he also threatehed to give a game-dinner at his own house, I speedily sent the order for the hat, acknowledged the good joke, and my own guests enjoyed the double "game.”— Struggles and Triumphs,

Sold by all dealers. ♦ mi — 1 ■ ■ Coughs and Colds.—Those who are suffering from Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Sore Throat, &c., should try “ Brown's Bronchial Troches," a simple remedy, which is in almost every case effectual. The Troches have been tested by time, and pronounced universally superior to all other articles for the same purpose. Help for the Miserable. No wonder that the face of the dyspeptic has a dragged, worn, hopeless expression that Is pitiful to see. No wonder that the miserable martyr to Indigestion is fretful, irritable, and unsocial. Whoever can bear the pangs of this tormenting complaint cheerfully, and with an unruffled temper, is little short of a saint. Bnt why should human fortitude continue to be thus sorely tried, when on absolute specific for the disease is always at hand ? Everywhere within the limits of civilization in this hemisphere Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is obtainable, and the history of tbe first case of dyspepsia In which it haa been administered in vain, has yet to be written The sickness of the stomach, the sense of weakness and stupor, the feeling of emptiness and hollowness before eating, and or oppression afterwards, the fluttering of the pulse, the intense nervous irritation, the morbid indisposition to exertion, the weariness of life, and indifference to all Its pleasures, which are among the symptoms of the disease in Its chronic form, are rapidly ameliorated by the tonic operation of this palatable vegetable restorative, which seems to renovate and quicken all the dormant forces of the system, and rouse the mind from the apathy and gloom Inseparable from a derangement of the digestive and secretive functions. In ordinary cases a few weeks suffice to complete the cure, but when the disease is complicated, as it often is. with torpidity of the liver, severe constipation, imparity of the blood, and a slngglsh circulation, a longer time may be required. Persevere, however, and the result, is certain. An encouraging Improvement will be perceptible from day to day, and the convalescent, knowing or feeling that he or she is on the high road to health, will await the happy issue with comparative patience. «r-

A Few Words nf W.ialif.—"Do you mean to say. madam, that he has taken no other medicine?" This question was atked the other day In relation to ayouna man "theonly son of »,widow." who was then rapidly recovering Irom a state of ifbsdlnte prostration, occasioned by chronic indigestion, it was a.ked by a friend or the family of the Invalid’s mother, Mrs. Klernan, t‘s Abingdon Square, New York. The mediclne*referred to was Plantation Blttebs. "I do mean to s&v It,” replied Mrs. K.; "We had tried twenty other remedies before, without the sMehtest benefit; hat w« tried none afterwards, for the Bitters proved all sufficient.” The lady hersell Is the authority tor this statement; and she further states her bellei that the restorative In question 19 the beat tonic and Invlgorator ever ad-” mlnhtered. TnEKEfs to excuse or so many deaths hy consnmpilan, if those afflicted with lung diseases will only nsa Allen’s Luno Balsam in season. It will soon cure the disease, and prevent so great a sacrifice of life. For sale hy all drnggißte.
