POLITICAL. New York politicians attach significance" to the fact) that when John Kelly visited Lowell recently, to lecture, he not only diced with uoy.

UANGMAN" FO OXi?. Koic ihe Missl.isipptan Regretted Ills Hasty Words to Hale, Everybody, writes o Wasl.iiigton corresirondent, knows that on a day before tlxe war . SoD.u.tor,. Foote, ,-pf Miss'ssij)i, remarke to Senator ohu P. Hfi, of New j&inipsliire, the Hoof oi tlio Senato $at if he Bhcald repeat in. Mississippi .Hhe abolition speecbes lio was then makinf in the Senate, be would be hanged to the

nearest tree. "And," went on the hot headed Mississippian, "in lieu of anybody elae, I myself would act an hangman." Perhaps everybody doesn't know that Foote was sincerely sorry for hia uufortonafco utterances. "The words were scarcely out of my mouth," he said, "before I would have given worlds, to recall them. I saw at once what an opportunity they gave ray enemies for merited cast'gation. Nest morning, when letters and notes of all sorts began to arrive, addressed to ' Hangman Foote,' many of them containing pictures of that person in the performance of his ghostly dutie3, I found my worst fears realized. Then come ihe newspapers. I never heard the end of it. And all the time, after I had apologized to Hale, whom I liked very much, and he had forfj'.ven. me like the generous, jolly old soul that he was, I was on the best of terms with him." It was just after Hale had forgiven Foot 9 that a beautiful girl caroo down from New Hampshra to beg for the pardon of her brother, who had been led by bad companions into the commi-sion of a crime, for which he was being punished nnder the sentence of a Federal ccurt. There were extematicg circumstances; his parents were old, his health was bad, and tho J udge who tried him, the jury, the Grand Jury and the District Attorney put their names to the petition that his brave sister carried to Washington, She laid the facts before Senator Hale, and implored him t j intercede for the boy. He told her that ha had no influenca with the adiniristi ation, and was, therefore, powerless to halp her. Nevertheless, she ane to his rcom again and again on the soma errand. Finally, liis heart wai touched, and lie made it his busiue a to so 3 Senator Fooio, of Mississippi, to whom he eSrliined tho case. "Now, Foote," said he, "I know that you're on exoeelleiit tjrm3 with Robeit J. Walker (then Secretary of the Treasury), Go to him for me, and see if you can't get this boy off. " Til go to-day, " -sail the willing penitent. And ha dld. At the end oi: a week Senator Hale placed the boy's pardon in the hands of his 'sister,. Then, he introduced her to anpliheres. tleman, who was quietly enjoying her joy. "This is my friend, Senator Foote," said Hale. "Hangman. Foote he's called up our way. It is to him we owe your brother's pardon. When you get back to New Hampshire tell them that even the devil's not as black as he's painted." W a AT IS WORK? 1 may perhaps be allowed te put the opening question, "What ia work?'' The common reply is, "Any pursuit by which a man earns or attempts to earn a livelihood and to accumulate weallh." This -lefiui ioa is the more to ba regretted bcoause it cherishes, or rather begets,-tha vulgar error thati all persons who do not aim at the accumulation of wealth are "diers." In point of fact such men may be doing far greater services to the world than the most di'licn. and suoaessful votary of a tra:le or profes ion. Darwin, having a competency, was tharewith content. To him, and to olihers of kindred methods, the opj.ortunity of devoting his whole life to ihe search after scientific frulh was & boon immeasurably h'ghax than anv conceivub'e amount of wealth. Shall, we call him an idler? Nor is science the only field vhiea opens splendid prospects to men of independent means. Art, literaiur3 philanthropy, have all their departments, unremunerative in a commercial point oi view, or at least not direotly remunerative, and for all these cultivators are wanted- Therefore, reversing the adviae given by routine moralists, I would say to weal ihy young men of ability: "Do not take up any trade, business or profession, but do some of the world's unpaid wo:k. Leave money making to those who have ro other opt on, and be searchers for truth and beauty." Every one who fol'ows this advice will coati ibulo something to show the world that the race for wealt 1 U not the only pursuit worthy of a rational being. I 6houlI define work a3 the conscious1 eyatematio application of mind or body to any d finite purpose. Popular Science Mcn'.hhj. 1 Theke i) something singular about a man's grunting over a box of strawberries at 50 cents, smelling of them, and going home without th m, because he does not believe in encouraging highpriced fruit or vegetables, and then see him come down town and pay 20 cents for a little piece of cabbage mode into a cigar.

HUNTED BY A T1GEXC

A Thrilling Adventure in India. Haviug some civil business in the BhniMara and Bajpore districts of Cen tral India, .and thinking nothing about fiigerrhunting, I was strolling at some 'distance away from the. village where I twas hen stopping srhen I saw at 'Sorno distance a tiger. At first" It was not much afraid, feeling sure that ha would move quietly off if not molested, and as I had no weapon at all you may be sure I had no wish to make a closer acquaintance. I was then in the open plain, as was the tiger, though jus!, about to enter the jungle. Judge of my horror when I saw him lash his tail backward and forward a few times, and then start off at a trot toward me. I had? that better part of valor, which you know folks call discretion, not to tihink cf opposing' tho brute; so at the (tight of that ominous lashing of the tail I turned round and intended walking away, hoping that I should not be followed. Keeping a sharp lookout over my shoulder, I saw that the tiger had marked me for his prey, so there was nothing for it but to run for the nearest tree that rose in the jungle, a few hundred yards distant. I knew my running would be the signal for my enemy to increase his speed, and a love of life, ancl a thought of my dear ones far away, nerved me with unusual agility and strength. I heard the tiger take the first spring from the plain into the jungle, and the peculiar sensation that ran through me I shall never forget. An impulsei seizad me to spring, too, and, with two or three kangaroolike bounds, I reached the fool of the tree. I jumped up against the trunk, trusting I might lay hold of some branch which wonld support me, for had I missed either my foothold or grasp I should have dropped jost in time to be devoured the very instant of the enemy's approach. I never made suoh good use of my feet in all my life, and they have been of some service ta me where I have been; and, having on thin canvas shoes, I clutohed the bark with my toes. One more bound and the tiger was ust at the spot I had occupied but a second before. And now again my clothing came to my help, for had I had cm a strong cloth garment I must have been dragged from the tree, and would have periled. As it was, my coat was niadj of a thin native fiber, not unlike our muslio, but coarser and darker, and ' this garment, in my last spring, the tiger caught in one of his claws. With all my might I made a half spring, half scramble higher into the tree, and away went my coat tail like a bit of paper. This checked the brute for a second, and then I was beyond M3 reach when standing on his hind legs. But tills ' was but a small protection, and I placed 1 the distance between us as much as I could by climbing into the higher boughs, I by no means felt safe, J or they were so thin that I feared they could not support me, and then I thought that a spring against or up the tree might shake me off. I thought the j tiger would not be likely to trust his heavy body to a moving branch. Such was my hope, and suoh wa3 my safety had not other deliverance come. I can never describe what agony aad terror I felt when in that tree, go long ai any effort was to be made the mind was centered in tha, and goaded on ihe physical powers to do their utmost; but when I had done all I could to be there, : with death literally staring me full in tha fac3, and I likely to fall into its jaws at any moment, was mora than I could bear. It was nervousness or agitation, if you iike increased by exhaustion and bodily weakness ; but I tilt my brain reel and my heart grow sick. The suspensa and tarror of those moments I of ten recall. I was some. 1 what calmer when I felt the help of One wlu has promised to be a present help in all our trouble; and perhaps this was a sense of the help that was at hand. I heard a low growl from the tiger, which sounded to me like one of disappointment rather than of attack, and then I had the unspeakable joy of seeing him . tt off. Greater joy. still! I saw a company of people in the plain, whom my enemy had reoognizad and wished to avoid. GEOItQB WASli TNQTOX'S CUUBCH. The old Pohick Church, eifcuated near Mount Vernon, is well known as iho placs where Gen. Washington and his w ife worshiped 90 years ago, Its rector received a part of his annual pay fro: the General, who was a patron of tho churc'i. For many years anterior to and after the kti war the edifice was in a state of dilapidation, but has of late been restored. It is now a comfortable and welkfurniijh&d church, with carpeted aisles, roomy pews of dark wood, a neat chancel .oarpeted and inclosed within a handt ome railing, and a richtoned organ. The church has been presented with a costly communion service, solid silver offertory plates and a set of beautifully-embroidered altar linen, tho iiatter donated by Mrs. j Laughton, one cd! the regents of Mount Vernon.-r-lFowfAiigon Pest.-- ' Women read each other at a glance, MivaroL '

I came in my journey , to the banks ol a rive which was crossed by ford. A train of pack mules was passing, and .:4 wbiiifwapg mjrjfcurn I went into th , ferrjhouae to escape tho beat of tiap morning sun. Several other geatteno' ere there! Presently an Indian caml to tdootnd .addressed us ia SpanisM'lp qayinjsf: -''J? "Would tho senors like to see m M l-irlo ilia n.l'1-icroKnr ?M ?

Handing round his hat, ho. received with satisfaction gold pieces amounting vn yalue to nearly tlvo dollars, H placed theso in hi3 money-belt, and, saying "I am ready," led the way- Ho then drew out a sharp-pointed knifa,

and felt its edge as he walked. ' The river lay before us, with deep,. i black water on either side the shallow ; ford. The opposite bank was steep, and a don at my side remarked thai ' below the water's edge it was dug out in. burrows, where the caymans (as they ' are called in those parts) were wont to lie in bad weather, tier above tier. NoW they were out in fall force, spread over the sand on our shore like scaly logs. Our Indian, a lithe, active fellow, ran lightly up to one of the beasts, and, before the astonished animal could recover himself enough to sweep his tail around and dash oim down, bis enemj was upon his back, and had seated hint" self directly behind the fore legs, claspV' ing ihe body, and holding the knife still in his hand.
