Tho following cmnnntos from Pittsburg i Scarcely anjbody except thoso directly Involved n the matter nro uwaro of tno amazing extent to which tho socesslou muvement within the Knights rf Labor lias progressed. So quietly and secretly Jn las tlio work ot Mr. Powdcrly's opponents been carried on thus far that tho pnbllo at largo knows but llttlo concerning It; but yet bo thoroughly In cirnost aro tho nntl-ailmlnlHtratlon leaden and ao active are they In their cHortB to destroy the power of "therowdcrlyrlng," as It Is called, that tho great army of secessionists Is now estimated to oouiprlso one-third of tho entlro order, or noarly 800,000 members. Tho way Is already prepared for H b' tho glgontlo revolution which Is Impending, and f present appearances Indicate that tho ruvolailon will bo openly Inaugurated beforo tho next two monthB have gone by. When It does come It will outdo everything of Its kind that has yet been at tempted. It will Includo nearly all tho largo and powerful trades districts. Boston, Now Haven, Hartford, New York and Halttmore, besides Phlla- delphla and Chicago, aro found to be missionary ventres of the opposition movement. Philadelphia, by the common consent ot tho secessionists In theso cities, has been made the headquarters of tho movement for tho East, as Chicago Is the headquarters of tho West. In Philadelphia tho movement has been kept more secret than In tho other cities, but Its growth has Ibeon even moro rapid and vigorous. Of tho XO,000 Knights in good standing in Philadelphia, ,fnlly one-half are bitterly opposed to the reigning administration, and tho major part of the other (half aro either inclined In the samo direction or If aro wholly Indifferent on tho subject. Ever since W tho Minneapolis convention tho process of disaf fection has gono on steadily and noiselessly. Secret incetlng of tho Antls have been held each week, nttended by the delegates to the Minneapolis convention, who rclato their experiences at the General Assembly; and tho result baa been, as Btated, that fully one-half or 80,ooo-of tho 'Knights In Philadelphia and vicinity havo been led to ally themselves to tho opposition party. Tno policy that will bo pursued henceforth will lie to withhold from tho general treasury all taxes and assessments, with a view of stirvlngout tho general officers. Ily these means It Is thought that, considering tho fact that to shut off the sup ply of their pockets Is tho quickest way to pinch, Jho general officers will bo compelled to succumb to tho forces brought to bear against them and step out of their present positions. To prevent this General Secretary Lltchman last week do- clnrcd that he will eject from tho order all such oiscmbllcs as do not pay their taxes promptly. "Theuiitl-admlnljlrationlstB,'' he said, "state llut they will not pay the per capita tax, and yot they 'maintain that their work against us shall bo M Hlono lnsldo tho order. On Jan. 1 I shall sond the usual notlco of taxeB duo to overy assembly In tho 'older and, as last year, It will be accompanied by notice that unless the monoy ts paid within forty tUys the locals will be suspended. I glvo them ten ilays over tho time provided by the constitution. Therefore, If they do not pay up, the war upon us "Will have to be mado outside of the order, and It Mill not take the members long to recognize the fact." Tho rovolt of tho suspendod local nnd-dis-'trict assemblies of tho Knights of Labor and tho formation of whnt is now known ns tho I Brotherhood of Labor by tho leaders of i tho suspended bodies, is causing a good dcnl of excitement nmoiiR tho Knights in this city. I Tho loaders of tho secessionists, Knights in ibis city say, hnvo been holding conferences nt Philadelphia and Chicago for some tiino past, and it is said they hnvo outlined a plan of organization which will bo presented to a i national conference to be hold shortly at 'l'hiladolphia. This conference will probably adopt measures for tho holding of a convention in i h which nil tho trades and labor organizations cfavorablo to it will hnvo delegates. Threo more local assemblies hnvo been sus- ipended lntoly from D. A. No. 04, tho printers' organization within tho Knights of Labor, for non-payment of dues and tho por capita i tax, and it is believod that they purposely de- j clinod to pay in order to join tho now move ment. Thoro nro nlso sovornl locals in Brooklyn I "which nro under suspension. I In this city tho lorpe organization of car- J 'pet-woavers, convprisuig somo throo thousand j workers, is uUo about to enter tho now order, i under tho lend of John Morrison, who is ono t of tho principal men in tho now movement. It will bo remembered that tho Carpet "Weavers' National District Assembly was ox. polled from tho Knights of Labor for insub ordination. Knights hero who aro truo to tho old or ganization and its principles doclaro that tho Boceders lime taken a singular method of creating reforms within the order by refus ing to pny dues mid assessments and with tV drawing from it. Cm A leader of a largo local said to-day 1 F ".'Wo will bo all tho btrouger when all tho kickers kick themselves out of tho order.

Who is Ilenry Harrison What is thoro in his death thnt would deseryo moro than pnssing notico? Nothing, only this: Years ago, whon Chicago vas a mero town, struggling with adolescent igor for a recognition as n place of impor tance i when all south of Sixteenth strcot wns n nfit area of sand, water nnd forest, Henry Harrison located hero nnd found employment as a hack driver, lto had come from York shiro, Limland. C. 1. Bradley was Superin tendent of Polico nt tho Mnio, and crimo was rnmpnnt nil o or tho city. Fnt foes nwnitcd a lmckman when his furo demanded urgent speed or secrecy inviolato. Harrison Mas young and not cntiroly avorso to dissipation, and tho section of tho town which now finds favor among tho rounders and is noptilorly known as tho loveo wns not unknown to him. Thither ho sped at nights and culti vnted with assiduous zeal tho aciiunintanco of such fomales as had not lapsod into a mummified condition. Ho was, in his early days, what is to-day termed a rouo. Ono sultry evening ns ho stood by his horses' heads at a downtown stand meditat ing on tho chnuccs of adding to his worldly exchequer that night, ho v,nn approached by a party of strangers, mado up of two women, whoso flashy attlro nnd nir of rocklessness proclaimed them fallen, nnd two men. One of thomon was garbed as n sailor; tho other w as n fellow named Berry. Tho quartet v,an, considerably under tho influenco of liquor. A bargain wns struck with tho lmckman, and tho party tumbled into tho carringo, ordoring tho Jehu to drivo in a southerly diroction until told to alter his course Nearing tho outskirts of tho city tho party alighted, drank frcolyand re-entered tho car riage when suddenly a sonnd as of scuffling smote tho drivor's oars. Ho desconded from his box, peered into tho vehiclo and discov ered tho sailor in a despicablo stato of intoxi cation, tho othor thrco occupants of tho car riage bending over him m n manner so sohoitous nnd guarded as to bodo no good to tho hapless mariner. However, it did not so appear to Harrison. Ho imnginod that it was nothing moro than a dmnken freak, and, ro mountmg tho box, mado liasto to reach tho city. Tho horses had not proceeded far until a crash Mas heard. Quickly turning in his seat, Harrison discovered that tho sailor had been hurled through tho window as it stood open and lay motionless on tho ground. Ho instantly surmised thnt tho man had boon drugged, robbed and foully murdered, and was so torrirled that ho never drow roin until ho had deposited his freight within tho city limits. Tho sailor was not found when tho affair camototho notice of tho police, nnd in tho natural sequonco of events tho four activo participants in the outing Moro arrested. Tho women gave ovldenco which tended to prove that tho orimo should bo fastoued on Harrison nlono, and as if to still furthor com plicate tho case and damn tho unfortunato man, a lifoless body Mas pickod up at tho lake's edgo the following morning, which tho women identified as thnt of their Into companion. An exhaustive inquiry wns in stituted by tho authorities, and they un ravelled tho mystory in tho following man ner Harrison nnd the second man, whose namo was Berry, More in league, and at their instigation the women assisted in robbing tho sailor. Berry throw him out of tho win dow, and tho whocl of tho carriage was sup. Eosed to havo passed over his nook, killing im instantly. After the disembarkation of his passengers, thoy alleged, tho drivor re turned to the sceno of the fatality, and, pick ing up his victim, Hung him into tho lake, hoping thereby to forever silence all ijossip, and by a singlo stroko obliterate, tho evidence of tho crime. Tho case was very strong against Harrison nnd Berry, and whon the trial como off the women swore so positively that n coalition existed between tho men to accomplish tlioir dark design that a conviction wns only a natural sequence The jury brought in a verdict of fourteen years each, and tho pris oners wero SMept out of sight, and thoir offonso forgotten. Six years passed, and tho sovonth was well ndvancod, when ono day tho sailor whom it was supposed had been murdered, turned up. He appeared to tho women, who affrighted nt whnt tnoy thought wns nn npparition, fled, and havobinco been lost to viow. Ho reported to Polico Headquarters, aud his story wns thoroughlygsif ted beforo tliotMo men Incar cerated for murder Mere liberated. Frankly, ho told' his talo, stating that he was drunk at the time of tho carriage ride, that the women robbed him while helpless, aud thrust him through tho window Btunued by tho full, ho remniuod tliero for hours, and on coming to his senses betook himself to a moro hospita ble region. Ho never heard of tho arrest of tno two otlior men, ana woulil probably havo forevor concluded to absent himself from this city had not f nto intervened nnd impelled him hither. His full confession relensed the two convicts, who, it needless to say, Mero rejoiced at tho turn affairs had assumed. Harrison cut adrift from tliu back businoss and resumed tho trade of stone-cutting, which lie had learned in England beforo ho migrated to Chicago. Ho avoided all his old associates and lhed a quiet, orderly life until tho day of his death, lie was employed as a stonecutter on the Custom-House building when it Mas in process of erection, aud ho gave evidence of being quite a skilled work man. Later ho became a marble-cutter, aud as such was omployed nt Billy Bassett's works on Wabash avenuo, in whoso employ ho wns nt tho time of his death. A Common I'nult.

Rnro Jewels In the l'nlnces and Ilatus of Ullsteuliitf Marble. 5. lr, Iln,iin0i in the itinneapollt Journal,) Teheran abounds In palaces, somo ot which are occupied or lslted by the Shah, while others ure entirely deserted except by the keepers. One of the most Interesting palaces of Teheran is called Ncgarlstan. It was built by Feth All fJhah, grandfather of tho present King. He was a monarch of great ability, famed as a poet nnd for his handsome, person and magnificent bpjrrd, also for the number of his children. The walls of tho upper halt of the audience chambers of this palace are decorated with an Immenao panoramic paint ing by a Persian artist, representing the King on his golden chariot, surrounded by his sons and tho chief men of his realm. Tno rlitures are Ufc-slze and the (ortraltt excellent, while as a study of costume this painting Is Invaluable. It Is one of the most Interesting Historical itaiutlngs In exist ence. In this place a prime minister of Persia was strangled by order of l'etn All tinuh, who had become Jealous of his power. Notlilog more pietbal and artistic could bo Imagined tuan Negarlstan. After passing, the grand gateway we uuter a vast avenue of palm trees Interspersed with rose bushes. Then we como to a pavilion, which Is reflected on the still waters of a marble tank, and decorated In the ex terior with stucco work of I'xqulslto delicacy and beauty. The Interior Is shaped like a cross, with an arched ceiling glided and supported by twisted columns, tinted green, sesrlet and gold. Tho stained-glass windows uro draped with sumptuous curtains, embroidered by hand In gold thread and scarlet. Another walk up the a cnue takes us to the central building, which surrounds nn octagonal court, tho greater part of which Is occupied by a deep pool Inclosed with marble. Another walk leads us to the andwoon, where lived the royal wives. A curious feature ot this atideroon Is the li.itH of marble, to which oue descends by an inclined plane leading to a sub terranean hall, supported by n row of pillars around a central tauk; the hath where the wuiiuu bathed adjoins this hall. Opposite the pool Is a steep narrow slide of polished iiinrhlc. When tho King wished to amuse himself on a warm day, ho ordered his wives to slide down this marble slopo Into his arms. Now all aro gone, tho King aud his wives and thitr children. 'lhe nlgnlng Ktug lives In the center of Teheran, In a palace called the ark or citadel.

A special chamber In tho ark, of which thu key is kept by the King, Is devoted to Iho crown Jewels aud treasury. This collodion Is unsurpassed In splendor and value by the famous treasures of Dresden or tho lower of London.

Tbo Story of John Owen Snyder, Who Wnlked Aloro Tlinn 00,000 miles. from the St. Zoute Voel.l)iepatth, A telegram from Mill Grove, Itlackford County, Ind. announces tho death at that placo Sunday of John Owen Snyder, tho celebrated walking man. Bnyder was probably the most unlquo nat ural freak over exhibited In a dlmo museum. Aztec children, fat women and living skeletons can bo duplicated, but nobody exactly like John Owen Snyder has existed within tho range of ancient or modern history, bnyder was not a crank. He was perfectly Banc, but he was anilcled with a disease, which compelled him to keep almost constantly In motion. ills disease was never understood, although many celebrated physicians endeav ored to diagnose It. It attacked him Oct. 24, 1SS4. At that time, while working near his farm, Mr. bnyder was attacked with numbness and cramps In his arms. The tn itching that accompanied them soon extended Into the muscles of tils legs. 1 ho pain was Intoler able. The only relief Hnyder could obtain was by moving) his legs. Walking seemed to alleviate the pain, bnyder returned to his home and to relieve himself began walking about In the roar of his house. Ho very soon dropped into a circular path whloh the boIcb of his sboet begatrto beat In the earth behind bis cabin. On and on ho walked. Occasionally tho palu returned and from u slow walk he would break into a dog-trot. This seemed to glvo him relief. At night ho sat down and took short nups, his wholo period of rest amounting to perhaps an hour and a half la tho twenty-four. Night aud day ho con- tlnnmf tiln rpnai Iftafl trnmn. Ilia fnnri was banded to him as he walkod. He shaved him BClf and cut his hair while moving nbout his little path. He could do no work and his children wero obliged to support him uud their mother. Every ono in tho part of Indiana In which he lived knew of him, and many had travelled to sea him. A year ago his fame spread. A Chicago llrm owning a dlmo museum recognized Ihcmarvillousuessof his two years' tramp, uud rent an agent to Induce him to go oa exhibition at a liberal salary. Ilcut drat refused. Tho miserablu little cabin, where much of his life hail been spent, tho path, six inches deep, packed hard us iron by tho continual pressure of his feet the seine of his suffering was too dear to him. Hut the offer of f 1,000 u week overcame his scruples. He was poor aud he nee led constant atteutlon. lie was a heavy burden on his family, and to relieve them bo finally consented to appear In public. During tne whole period of his tramp he had lain dowu only once. 'J hat was lor an hoar onlr nnd after that period he was so lame that ho hud to run for live hours to rillove nlspaln. It was necesnary therefore to provide a mcaiii for hlmtocontlnuo his walking while outhe way to his destination. Accordingly a car, was chartered and cleared of all Its fiiruiture. Joil l'rauce, a neighboring farmer, and the vlllagodrugulst, a man named Cunningham, accompanied him to take care of his Inierests. Ho was started for tho railroad and walked aboard the car, In which he began to tramp up and down while tho train moved on towards Cincinnati. Arrived there ho was placid In a museum whero u track had been laid nut for Uliii. Hero he continued to walk. A number of physicians uud profissors woro Invited to examlnu Snyder and analyze his case. They were Incredulous at first. A night and day watch was fixed union.; somo medi cal students who took an liitrrist In the case. Hnydi r's movimenls wen nbsirved for a week uud the stories told about hlin wile v erllled. Professors delivered learnod lectures about Ins caso and plivslcbins theorized about It without coming to a definite conclusion. Sujder coutluuid to shiilllu about the truck of the iciisciim. It waB viry dim cult for an ordinary man to keen step with hluu He always wore rough shoes or the coarso and heavy kind worn by laboicrsor by furmcrs when ploughing. He kept up his steady walk day and iilnlit, usually going at a rate of about three miles an hour and someUm no would trot for an hour or two. lie explained his various galls bysajlng that when he couldn't keep the pain out of his legs oy slow walking he could nuliduu It by trotting. About 9 o'clock every night ho would all In a chair aud sleep for half an hour. Instantly, upon waking, hu was up and off again. After walking for an hour ho would tako another short nap. Usually betook threo naps of half an hour each every ulght, but sometimes, although rarely, hu slept an hour at a time. Snyder remained two weeks In Cincinnati. Ho then went to Chicago for four weeks, to Ml. Paul and Minneapolis, and then returned home. He purchased u comfortable duelling with his earn ings and provided well for his family. He con tinued his tramp for nearly a jcar, refusing to ap pear In public. He made another contract to go im exhibition this winter, but his health failed rapidly and his dUordered system soon went to pieces. About two weeks ago he took to his bed uud there he lay illit.l his ileulh, Ills sufferings us ho lay In bed were almost Intolerable. Members of his lamlly constantly bathed and rubbed his feet and legs to relieve his pain. Hnyder was tlfty-slx years of ac at the time of his death.

Tho cars aro of ordinary sizo. Tho olectrio engines which will gonorato tho motive powor will bo located in n build ing in Burling slip. Tho cars will mako trips a minute npnrt. Tho company has contracted to pay to tho city SS per cent, of tho gross carniugB of tho road. Tho other railway companies operating tinder franchises from tho city pay 3 or 6 iter cent of their earnings to tho city, except acob Sharp's Ilroadwny road, which agrcod precipitately, aftor tho pcoplo woro aroused 111 1881. to pay $40,000 a year rontnl in addi tion to tho percentage. Tho promoters of tho Fulton street road oxjiected to havo it in operation cro this, but (Ion. Nowton's order obliged tho company to stoii work, which necessitated the tearing tin of Fulton street, on Dee 1, to resumo March 1, 1HHH. Under tho law, when any duly franchisod road desires to run its cars ovor another com pany's track, it may obtain the right to do so by applying to n court for tho appoint mont of a commission to scttlo tho amount of monoy that it must pay to that road, provided tho soctiou of tho track to bo used is not lougor than 1,000 feet. If it must onerato on a section of another's track longer than 1.000 feet, it can do so only by coming to ansagreement with tho old com pany whoso lines it would uso. Thoro aro four roads whoso traok tho Ful ton street road must uso. Tho now road must run on tho single track of tho Blecckor stroct lino from Fulton ferry to William stroot. That is something over ono thousand foot. Tho officers of tho now road havo been entiroly unable to negotiate with tho Bleookor stroot company. Thcro is no legal manner in which thoy can compol this company to como to somo agree mont, oxcept through an act of the Legisla ture The track of tho Dry Dock lino must bo usod for 800 feet from St. Paul's Church west in Fulton street. Tho oloctrio cars must run over 200 feet of tho track of tho Ninth ave nue lino in Fulton street, from Greenwich to Washington street, and then tliero is a pioco of tho Belt Line track in West street, from Fulton to Chambors Btreot, to bo used. Commissions will arrange betweon tho now company and these threo latter named com panies, but the Bleeckor Btreot lino seems to bo an insurmountable obstaclo to its progress J lint liuw. Tho Bleeckor stroot lino stops on tho west side of South street. Tho now lino will cross that street and drop its passongers in the forry-houso. This is ono reason why there is no special wolcomo to tho now comer from tho old stager. Thero is a greater grievance, howover, against tho now coraor, which is common to all the old companies in tho city. Tho Cantor bill, now a law, providos that every street railway shall pay a speciflo part of its earnings to tho city as bonus for tho privilego of using its stroots. Tho highest tiorccntago paid under the bill is 6 per cent., rat 'f tho Legislature can force them to pny this amount it can forco thorn to pay any reasonable amount, and if tho North and East River road is permitted to complete its lino, ono of tho effects will bo to teach tho city that tho roads which havo boon operating for years and pocketing enormous dividends on watered stock aro amply ablo to and should in all justice pay larger percentages for thoir monopolies, for tho now road will pay HO per cont. moro than any of them. For this reason tho old roads havo dono all in their power to prevent tho now company from completing ltB line, and will succcod unless tho Legislaturo comos to its roscuo with a bill providing for an adjustment of differences between roads similarly situated, Tho promoters of tho now road hope for this relief, whioh may bo reached in various indirect ways, and confidently oxpoot to bo ready for operations early next spring. They havo boen obliged to lay their tracks on Sat urday nights nnd Sunday, but it is all com plete except whoro they must use othor tracks, and at Broadway, where tho crossings with tho Broadway lino aro not yet sot. m m Named tho Wnlf After Mr. Cleveland.

The number soren Is, however, one of the moit singular ot all the digits, and the part that It plsys in ancient, popular and natural history Is surpris ing to one who has never known the facts. For lnitance, among the Babylonians the god of the number seven received peculiar honor, and when tho Chaldean Noah had cscapted from the deluge his first act was to build an altar and Bet seven vessels on as many fires. The famous Chaldean witch had lo bo subdued by being bound wllh a cord tied with 7x1 maglo knots. And a sick man had to be anointed seven tunes with purifying oil. In tho Chaldean scriptures tno delugo lasted seven days, the gstes to Haues were seven in num. ber nnd seven tlsh-llke men were said to havo asconded out of the Persian Gulf to teach the arts to the antediluvian Babylonians. In the ancient theory ot mystical numbers, from which so many ot our luck signs are derived, four was blgnlDcant of natural and three of tho spiritual world, and ono of tie old occult philosophers writes: "Tho number seaven, therefore, because It consists of three and four, Joyns the soul to tho body." Tho same writer says elsowhere: Tho number seaven Is of various and miutfold power. In the theory of the occult phllmophora the num ber seven plnjsa most Important part In the life of man, and this Is the way they divide a man's years: Afttr the first seven days an infant's eyis can bear the light; after twice seven days It seeks the light; In the third seven days It turns Its head frcelr. After seven months It gets teeth: utter tho Second hpncu months It sits without fear of fulling: after the third seven months It begins to speak. After the fourth seven mouths It stands Btrongly and walks. After the flfth seven months It Is weaned. Alter seven years It loses Its llrst teeth. After the second seven years comes tno change from boy hood to youtn. At tho third seven years the ohange from youth to manhood. After tho fourth seven years thero Is never any Increaso of kUturc. In tho llfth seven years a man Is In his prlmo of strength. The sixth seven years they retuln their strength. The seventh seven years they attain their perfection of wisdom and the perfect age of men. But whon they come to tho tenth Beven jcars they reach the turn of life. Plato, In the Tlmacus, also says that God creates the soul of Beven portions. The alchemists, too, laid much stress on the number 7, Inasmuch as that was tho number of their famous "bodies." Gold for the sun, silver for the moon, Iron for Mars, quicksilver for Mer cury, lead lor Saturn, tin for Jupiter and copper for Venus. The champions of Christendom were seven In number. St. George for England, St. Andrew for Scotland, St. Patrick for Ireland, St. David for Wales, St. Denys for France.Sb James lor Spain and St. Anthony for Italy. Tho mortal alns are seven In number, as are also the virtues. Homo was the sevcn-hllled city; the senses nre also accounted to be seven In number. Then there nre the Seven Sorrows of Mary, the seven times that Christ spoke on tho cross, the seven wise men of Orecce and the seven wonders of tho world. In the life of Illenzl the number seven plays a very curious part. It was on the seventh day of October that his foes yielded to his power. For seven months ho reigned a Tribune Seven yoars wsb the length of tlmo that he spent In exile, and during seven woeks after his return ho had no euo mles. His return, by the way, took place on Oct. T. The number ot crowns awarded him by the llomnu convents and councils was also seven. Here, also, from another source, Is nn odd nso of this number. Frederick I. of Germany, who Is known In legend as Barbarosta, and who, according to tradition, never died, but Is still sleeping In KyfThaueserberg In Thurlngla, once In seven yoars changes his position. Charlemagne also starts In Ills chair from sleep once In seven years. Ogler, the Dane, clangs his iron mace on the floor once In every seventh year, and Olaf lled bcard, of Sweden, once In seven years uncloses bis eyes. It may not be known to many people that Wales also boastB of seven wonders They nre Snowdon, Pyatyl Ilhaladr Waterfall, SU Winifred's Well, Overton Churchyard, Urlsford Church Bells, Wrexham Sieeplo and Llangollen IlrldL-e. But It Is In the Scriptures that this nnmbcr ap pears oftoncst ns of Bpeclal significance. Among he Hebrews the word for swearing Is septe narc," or proteat by seven. Abraham, you will remember, appointed sovcu owe lamhs as nis testi mony to the covenant with Ablmelech. Tho Creator rested from his work on the seventh day, and this day was called Sabbath, or seventh. A leprous person wns either to bathe seven times, or be sprinkled seven times with the blood of a spar, row. Seven years was the period for repentance.

Taylor Ilecall a Famous Contest Between Mnynaril and Johnson. IFrom tht A'athvtlU Amtrlcan. A few days ago Gov. Taylor was Bitting In the Executive chamber in conversation with a num ber of friends, when the snbject of oratory was Incidentally suggested. "Do you want to know whom I believe to havo been ono of the most powerful ami convincing orators tnut ever mounted a stump In Tennessee?" Everybody was anxious to know, butbeforoany reply could bo maue the speaker continued: "I think Horace Maynard was tnut man. I havo heard him oiten, and more thun once have gono uway from his speakings heart-sore und despondent. But when be was at tno zenith of his power there was one other In publlo life In Tennessee worthy of his Btecl. This was Andy Johnson. I shall never forget the triangular light that took place In this State between Maynard, Johnson aud Gen. Cheat ham. It was Indeed a battle of giants. I was nothing more than a boy then, but I watched the progress of the contest with the greatest Interest, ono of their debates Is fresh In my memory. It occurred In a little East Tennessee town. There was a tremendous crowd that had come from the farms and the Btorenoutcs to hear Maynard and Johnson. A majority of thoso present wero lte publlcaus. 1 Maynard was tho llrst to speak. I watched his every nioveraont and ncard every word. Asaoon as be opened I higati to take alarm. Soon he wanned up, und a moie powerful speech, I believe, novcr camo irum mortal lips. As lie amlgucd the Democratic party for high crimes and misdemean ors I felt as If I myself wero on the prisoner's bench. As I listened I gradually grew bluer and bluer.tlll ull at once I rceollectedinjseltand found that I had shrunk down almost out of sight In the seat I was occupylug. 1 lookod about 1110 and eviry other Democrat seemed to bo occupylug the same pnstll.in. I then thought ot Johnson, who was lo follow, and wondered what he could Bay In reply. I had heard hlin before, knew how luunlto were his resources aud hla power before tho pco. pie, but It seemed that np mortal man could an swer that wholesale Indictment aud refute those awful charges. When Maynard closed his speech, Republicans were standing In their chairs, nn benches and lablqa, cheering themselves hoarse and applauding thflr great leader. It looked to inn and my paitisaus us It the Democratic party could never rally from such an on.laugut. "All at once, however, a new sound was heard. It wns tho voice of Andrew Johnson, the aid ex President. I feared to look at 111 in. Soon, how c er, he secured theundtvlded attention ol hla audi, uice und tho maalo of his oratory began to make Itself felt. As he took up one cniirte uder uuother and disposed of tDemde.pondent Dumucrats began lo straighten up In their cunlra and listen to his words. To cut the siory short, It was a master speech from tho train! old commoner that be ue er In his Iltu ecllpied. "He parried tno thrusts of hU nimble oppo nents, aud from his own rugged mind dealt nut sledge-hammer blows that were all-powerful. Tho defenne be made for the Doinocratlu party brought tears to many eyes, and when his audience had been wrought up to tho highest pitch, he turned upon the parly In power, aud Uaggcrcd ltepubll caus with charges that (ell Into their midst like oolnblhonsv iBtforo- theBpeeoh 'was more than half concluded,! every Democrat was standing 'In his seat; hsv In naml, Jutiliam, and cneerlog to the echo every utteranco that came from the lips ot Andrew Johnson. Such a victory over snon an opponent I shall never see again, and such eloquence from mortal man few ears wiu rtr hear," THE ST1UINING MARRIAGE. DID JUDOE GILDERSLEEVfi COMMIT A MIBDEMEANOR? I The Lair as Laid Down by an Expert Magistrate Not Permitted to (solemnize, Mnrrlnge When the Girl I Under Six teen The Indictment at a.

Follows ncting ns witness nnd best mnn. Tho happy pnlr" thon left on their-bridnl tour. Tho Rovisod Statutes havo for many years included this among other sections of article 1, title 1, part '2, chapter 8. Sec 12. rivcry mlnlsterjor iixaatstrate who shall solemnize a marriage where either of tho parties within his knuwiedge shall lie under the age uflegul consent, shall be deemed witllvQfa misdemeanor, punishable by Hue or imprisonment, or both, at the discretion of tho court by which he shall be 1 tried. 1 Skc 2. The age of legal consent for contracting marriage shall be eighteen years In the case of tl males and sixteen incase of females. (As amended I Feb. 21, lbS7). I Tno ago of tho brido in this caso, Mary Sul- 1 on, is fifteen years, her sixteenth birthday I coming in April next, it is said. 1 A mnrringo nnd divorco export, havinp I boen questioned by a reporter of Tub Wonui I in rogard to this marriage, said 1 The lawful ngo at which a girl may marry ft is twelve. Tho lawful ago at which she mny 'rj consent to a marriage is sixteen. Her parents J may consent for hor botweon twolvo and six, tccn.and bell her to her husband; but tho law insists that such marriages shall bo proclama tion only. A marringo by coromony beforo tho girl is old enough to givo consent isfa misdemeanor. This marringo should havo j been by proclamation. Tho parents con- sented for tho girl, and not tho slightest ob- j jectiou existed to tho marriage, only to Judgo Gildersleovo solemnizing it. Section 12 does not limit or restrict marriages. It regulates tho action of magistrates that, and that only. That Judgo Gildorslcovo, for whom I have tho highest respect and esteem, com mitted a mibdemeauor for which he bo indicted by tho Grand Jury ond brought beforo his own court for trial, if tho story published in tho papers bo true, thero is no doubt. Tho law is plain and imperative. It is not a technical offense, but a violation of tho express words of tho statute. Ho know 1 tho girl was within tho ago of consent, for l tho man was under indictment for that Vv reason. If sho had not been, tho case could not havo como boforo him. Thoro was no reason why ho should solemnize it. A marriago by proclamation w onld havo been equally valid, and tho statuto was passed to prevent him from doing what ho did do, and inr 110 other reason. It wns certainly a judicial defiance of law which emphasizes most clearly what my Anarchist friends truthfully maintain, that thero is no law for tho official tho man in office that ho is above and beyond tho law, which is intended merely ns nn instrument by which he may oppress and tyrannize over tho citizen. A policeman, for instance, when in good standing, they say, is abovo and be yond all law. "Prove that my words aro falso if you can It is easy enough to provo mo a liar if I am not speaking words of truth and sobernoss. Go to overy magistrate in Now York one by one and apply for a warrant for tho arrest of Henry A. Gildersleovo for n misdemeanor. Not ono will grant it. Ask a policeman to arrest him, if you daro. You know tho policeman is likely as not to club you if you !l are an honest citizen, and tho magistrate to I sentence you to six months on tho island for interfering with nn officer on duty. "It is tho boldnaturo of this defiance of law that makes it worth notico. Tha cele brant is a Judgo of tho second highest criminal trial court in tho Stato, tho witness is tho Associate District-Attorney of tho county, who is in a fow days to bo tho Dis. trict-Attorney among tho spectators is tho present District-Attornoy, recently elected and next month to bo a Judgo of tho court, and the sccno of this war dance on the statutes is tho oflico of tho Public Prosocutor. Thero can bo no plea that his action was conducive to good morals, or that ho meant well.' Tho law did not forbid the marriage. There was no legal objection to thoso two people marrying. Tho law simply ordered that it should bo by proclamation and should not bo by ceremony. It forbade Judge Gil. dersleove from solemnizing, but it did not forbid him from witnessing the marriage and i signing his namo to tho marriage contract. Ho did what tho law forbado him ta do and j makes it a misdemeanor for him to da 1 Why? "Until Feb. 21, 1887, tho ngo of civil con. sent was fourtoon. It may bo that Judge Gildersleovo, Mr. Martino, Col. Follows and tho othor distinguished lawyors prosont were ignorant of tho law but ignorance of the 1 law docs not oxcuso. S "Last summer an Alderman was 'sum. II moned for solemnizing tho marringo of, an 11 Italian girl under sixteen, and all tho papers si hnd long accounts of tho case, no was not W arrested. Ho wns not fined or imprisoned, 1 you will remember. Ho was merely ndmou- I ished, as ho hnd n big pull.' II 1 How He Wooes the Western nolle. I rrom th Indianapolis Journal, 1 A young man who prides himself on beintf a lady .killer has patented a now idea, which he is now working for all, thero is in it and will continue to do so if tho nowspapcrs, which aro unwitting accomplices, do not toko stringent measures to suppress him. His schemo is to carefully oxamino the personal and society columns of tho papors each day nnd mako note of tho young ladies from n distance who nro visiting houses where ho has tho entree. Ho then hies himself to a newspaper office, gots permission to look at the exchanges, from which ho selects thoso 1 that suit his purpose and securos tho consent of tho editor to carry them away. In his leisure minutes ho rends them ovor, adver tisements' and nil, and in this way bocomos acquainted with tho names of streets, persons nnd events happening in tho placo from which tho young ladies como. When ho makes his call where Bho is temporarily stop ping ho is ablo to produco, by his previous preparation, a favorablo impression in talk nig on matters which havo a home intorest to his listener, nnd thus fondly imngines thut ho has mado another conquest. Somotimes ho varies his system by getting tho youug 1 lady to talk about her homo nnd then, nt an opportune time, casually produces from his pocket a copy of her favorito local poperr. j A Tribute ta the Quiet Girl. j i'rom the Eaiton 4rgu.)

Ho twists it round, but it doesn't fit thou. Ho takes it off, looks at it, sees from homo slight variations in tho complexion that it isn't his hat, and awakens to tho fact that Bomcbody has loft him a two-dollar Bowery Derby for his flvo-dollar broin-cover. That is tho way it generally works. Tho man who makes the mlstako always does so on tho sido of tho right hat. Nothing can bo dono. Tho good hat is gono. Tho fact is, too, that it won't bo returned. Thoy nover return tho good ones, and tho owners of tho bad ones don't caro so much about thoir res toration. Hat-bauds oro a safeguard to honost wearors of twin Derbys.

This swapping hats is not an uncommon occurrcnco in tho barbers' shops or hat-racks at hotels. At tho latter, however, tho waitor who keeps guard over tho hat-rack frequently remembers to whom tho hats boloug. Tho darky at tho Murray Hill Hotel is quito a phenomenon in this respect. Dozens of gentlemen lcavo thoir hats in tho rack and many of them aro so much aliko that a hatter could hardly toll thorn apart. When tho guest comes out, tho smiling Ethiopian briskly picks out tho particular hat which belongs to him and presents it with a flourish. Ho doesn't mako a mistake onco in 100 times.

Where the hats aro not only aliko In ap pearance, but ono fits as well as tho other, of course an abBent-minded person can make a mistake. Mauy do mako a mistako. But usually it amounts to the same thing, except that somo peoplo may feel better to know that their hats aro on honest heads, oven if they aro not thoirown. Tho hats go and thoy do not return.

A young man, the top of whoso head had lapsed beyond tho harbor's power, passed into on elegant tonsorial parlor and sub mitted himself to tho artist of tho shears like a two-year-old lamb. Tho time was that portion of tho week when indigence is cheek by jowl with com parative affluence in tho salaried man's life. Tho artist, a littlo Italian, who looked as if you could make olivo oil out of him, touched tho young man'B collar. Flcaso tako it OB. It is too high." The victim had not been in the habit of undressing to get his beard trimmed, but ho meekly obeyed and gave explicit directions as to how ho wished the operation to be per formed. Tho barber began to out what hair ho could find on the patient's skull. You'd better not cut my hair. I haven't got boodle enough," murmured the young man, faintly. Oh, I trim tho hair a little with tho beard," Bold tho generous artist. It wasn't bo easy. First the hair had to bo found. Then it was difficult to get enough of it to-gether to clip it symmetrically. But the Italian worried through and got to the beard. He went over this With a small lawn-mower, singing the praises of an incomparable hair restorative in the mean while. Then ho thrust a hand-glass into tho hand of tho cropped youth ond let him study tho effect. Cut it a little more at the sides, and so that it can bruBh away to the points," said the young bald-head.

It was assertod that ho was not the principal but an accessory and sharer of the robbery, which had been committed in April, 1882, by the assistant cashier, William Water man. Waterman fled to Canada, and from there to Cuba. At first it was thought that ho had no accomplices, but in tho early pait of 188.1 ono of the members of the firm, the junior partner, received an anonymous letter saying that Brown was the instigator of the theft and a sharer in it, us would be developod in tho course of time, if the receiver of tho letter would say nothing ond keep a sharp watch on the correspondence clerk.

Tho handwriting on tho envelope which was directed to James Brown, caio of John Anuitago A; Sons, was that of a woman tho pocular English triangular hand. When Brown camo in Saturday, Sept. 15, to report that be had had a good timo and would be at his desk Monday morulng, ho was arrested and lodged in tho Tombs. Thero wasaclear case against him, and ho could not get bail. Ho had but littlo money saved, and when the case was called for trial, Dec. 23, the outlook was black. He was not positively identified as the man who deposited the money in tho savings banks, but it was a man "like him." There was still S300 to his credit in ono bank and $1,070 in another. Waterman had been in Castrie. Oct. 8, 1882, and the letter was in his handwriting with out doubt. To clinch this ovidence against him there had been found, about a month after his arrest, in ono of his old letter books, an uniihed flvo-ccut stamped emolope dl. roctcd in a woman's hand, Roderick Ran dom, care of Mrs. Broadacro, Castrie, Santa Lucia." Brown's counsol did not beliove his client innocent and strongly advisod him to plead cuiltyi but this Brown refused to do. As the prosecution wove around him the net from whloh there seemed no possible escape, even Brown lost heart, for.when the District. Attorney rested, no stronger case of ciroum. istontial evidence had been presented in the Goners! Sessions for years. Tha prisoner went on the stand. He could deny i but that was all. As he was in truth innocent, there was nothing to explain. No alibi was possi. ble. The prosecution conceded previous good character. No defense was possible. work, so that she may have no chance ot holding communications with tho outside world. The only amusement aho allowed to Indulge In la a weakly visit to the cemetery, whoro aho la aup. poaed to go to mnurn for the dead. This mourn.

Once Inside the gates, thoy throw aside their fella, and, seat lnir thcmscU es upon the tombstones, prepare to make a day of It. They also go provided with a substantial luncheon, and they spend the whole day laughing, chatting and gossiping with tnelr fellow-mourners. At sunset tncy resumo their velis, mount Into their carriages and are drlton back to their homea, which they will not quit until the following Krldar. The most painful patt of tho fate of these women la that, although they may fulfil evory duty of their position wltu the most perfect cxartltudc, and may even love their bus. Iianda tenderly,' the law allows them to have no leaal claim upon them. At any time of the day or night, If a man be weaned of his wife or for any reason desirous of being rid of her, he has only to lead her to tho door, and, by pronouncing tho simple words "you aro divorced," ho Is free from her for ever. Finest Terrapin In tlie World. fiom th llttUlmorr tfun.) Daltlmoro Is the leading market In the world for terrapin. Tho finest species aro probably found In Chester ltlvtr, although It requires a connoisseur ot considerable ability to discriminate between those caught in Chester Hlver and those taken from other waters and marshes along tho Chesapeake. The Implements for catching terrapin are very simple. Ihcy are often taken by dragging In waters where ther aro hibernating, or the terrapin hunter, armed with a stlon, on one end ot which la a hook, will walk around the marstiea Inserting It Into Iiol'R made oy muakrats and other animals, and If the stick comes In contact with n terrapin the hook end la Inserted and hla terrapinshlp la bronchi forth. 8ecral are often taken from ono bed. '(hey are In astato of lethargy when caught In the winter season. In very cold weather they will often freeze, and, though heroically tratcd, they show no evidence of life. If submitted to warmth they will moat llkoly die when In this con dition, though If placed In a vcaael ot cold water they will generally thaw out. Although Maryland has the reputation for serv. ingtcrrapln.lt Is not always that one even here can purchase a plate of real diamond-back at hotels or restaurants, while In other btatca It la next to Impossible to purchase it prepared. Thu cost of real terrapin and tho fact that slldora, a cheaper Bpecles, can be easily worked In when preparing the dish ofTera an Inducement to caterers m mis lead. But In many cities outside of llnltlmore where the palato ot the connoisseur la less culti vated, an analysis of a dlsti of terrapin, which was hilled on the menus as Terrapin, Maryland Htyle," would dtacloso a hash wherein the slider has supplanted tho diamond-back, aud eal and chicken are thrown In for bulk, wllh eggs manu. factured for the purpose, tho whole flaxircd with sherry, wlno and eplcea. It la not surprising that people who cat this dish at diamond-back i-rlccs go off wondering why people ravo about terrapin.

Frowlth Dotton i.t.J I met a messenger boy the other day lugging a big-eyed and very much astonished baby, evidently not a family connection of his, which, on ques tioning the boy, I learned he was to deliver at a certain house not far distant, For him this was all la the regular line of his bualneas, and he went about It In a solemnly practical way that waa quite admirable. I do not think he loitered with this burden on his hands. As for the parent who In trusted the baby to this method ot carriage, he or she must have a confidence In the security of the messenger service that Is nothing less than heroic. Yet I do not doubt that the baby got there safe. On the Toboggan Hllde. fJVom ChrUtma fuel.! Steersman AU ready, Basoom T Daacom Tea; or-er wait a moment.

At Ko. 81 Nassau it., Just off Maiden Isne, you will see a good sssortment of diamonds, and large stook of watches, all American; they excel lu perteot time-keeping qualities the finest and long-famous Hwlss watch es. Mr. Cnarles a. Croaa mau, proprietor. Is com paratively young and started a few yeara ago In a modest way on a fifth floor lu Maiden lane, where he conducted a watch repair shop. Ilia natural mechanical abil ity and Intensity of appli cation soon brought him to the front, even among experts, as a repairer, regulator and adjuster of or an xtnas ot waicnes, and he haa gradually but steadily oome up, not with a mushroom growth, but with a solid, healthy development, until now he Is counted as one not only of the moat skilful experts In watch repairing sod adjusting, but one of the moat successful watch aud diamond dealers In the trade. He started by selling the American watch only, regarding It superior to any other aud offer ing facilities for sclentincally developing Its repair and adjustment, While the baala of the American watch la good, Mr. Crossman early established tho plan of taking apart every watch which he handled and keenly examined for Individual defects, which he thoroughly removed. The consequences are that he furnishes his cus tomers with really fine timekeepers at very mod erate prices, aa he brines watches with movements ordinarily conaldered almply "good grade" up to the performance of more expensive time pieces. For doing this successfully he haa special facilities and ono of the largest watch repair shops la the city, and, what Is more Important, all repairs to watches are made by specialists of .recognized Mr. Croaaman handles principally Elgin and Waltham watches, each of which Is trained" before going to the customer In the manner above described. Ills mauy new and attractive styles lu fourteen and eighteen carat cases, together with the varied stock of loose and mounted diamonds, Jewelry and chains, will certainly tempt Intending purchasers during the coming holidays.
