Ami Dick Davis, the conductor, left the uiail ear, and entered the through coach attai-lied to ttie train. C1jHin)r the door, he walked straight to an old man seateil in the centre of the car. His head and beard were an white as mow. but there were no prow' feet on hi forehead nor wrinkles on hm cheeks. His eyes flashed with lusty manhood, though his hair would indicate that he had cnisxrd the Ujuuilarie-s of threw score yearn. He smiled when the rtleasajit-ntced conductor dropped into the seat before him, and, leaning forward, made a re mark in a low tone of voire. This re mark caused Davis to rat-e his head and (fax at the beautiful face of girl who slept behind the white-bearded pasuen-p-T. " he always sleeps that way," aespon ded the pasnenr, with a smile ; "and when she wakes she is as fresh as a ru-." " Your daughter has company I see," observed Davis, glancin at the remain der ol tlie car, who appeared to be sleep ing soundly. " Yes ; are they going through 7" "Oh, yes; none but through passro eers are almitted to this caach. They are not communicative fellow-travelers, I should say." "They are not," replied the old man. " Mr. Davis, I lo not like my traveling companions," and tlie speaker's voice was lowered. The conductor looked surprised. "Will you please explain?" Mr. Rad cline?" A short time previous to the present conversation the conductor and his pas senger had exchanged names, and were thus enabled to call each other properly. " I can scarcely explain," was the pas senger's reply. " There is a man in the fourth seat from the stove whom, unac countably, I do not like. He boarded the train at Romney, and I have caught him looking askance at myself and Ma-1-el. Then the fellow wlio appears to be ae-leep three seata behind him on the op posite side of the aisle has been guilty of the same thing, and I believe there is a connection between the parties. I dont want you to think that I fear them. Sev er in my life, and I have panned through the wild tribes of the Amazonian Valley, have I feared a man. Over there lies the only je-wel to which I cling." and he nodded toward the sleeping girl. " .She is the st'le creature through whose veins runs my blood, and yon must know that she is dear to me." "Certainly, Mr. Kadcliffe," replied Ihivis. " Your entire solicitude if for her." " Exactly." " I o you know either of these two fel lows?" " I do not ; never saw them before in my life." Conductor iHtvis thought for a moment. "Yourself and daughter tan avoid them by taking up quarters in the for- j ward car. I assure yoo that you will not be regarded as intruders, and that the accommodations will not lack for comfort." But the passenger gently declined tlie conductor's offer, and said that he would finish lus journey in the coach he bad been placed in for that purpose. After a few more words Iavis left the coach and passed into the express car, where he soon appeared to forget his paivengers in a conversation with the me-nger. The door had scarcely cloHed on the conductor's form when the roaa nearest the stove showed signs of animation. He turned R is head and looked np in the dimly lighted aisle, no tgetting to let bis eyew rest on titer old aaan and his daughter. He was a handsome man of about thirty five years of age. and above his luxuriant crop of silk, auburn whiskers shone a pair of bright milk-blue eyes. No man in a hundred would hare cho sen him for a rascal. He was well, almost flashily drewed : i there was a handsome diamond pin'on I his bosom, are! a crested ring on his 'hand. I Allowing his gaze to return down the aMe, he fixed it upon antatherman who. appeared to lie sleeping, a short distance from him. This man was quite voutav : j his eyes were heavy,and the only hi carte j appendage on his face was a long bauied I moustache that u.ro..d over his i mouth. The two men exchanged look which ,. . .u . i j ' v ", , , ... ! each other. Again the first ueatkaied one looked at the old patartifc-er. whose chin had dropped on Uix bnaast, and who appear ed to be. troppiiiin nto a slumber. Srvftag this the man motioned to the other, who. straightened up, and the next nioment the twain occupied the same seat. " Is he really asleep 7" asked tlie youngest. "You can't tell anything about the 4d oftdger," was the reply - He looks as though he was sleeping like Morpheas bini!-lf, when he may lie watching us from one corner of his eye. We cant af ford to wait much longer, else the game will be np. The girl is sleeping very soundly." , " Yes ; yon comld jerk tor from the seat and not disturb ber stamhers. Isnt she a beauty 7" 1- A'taAiiKt wi rA HOI "Of eourau she dotsat know that yon are on thtr train 7" "tVMauaiy not.- Don't you recollect th4 she was asleep when we boarded the cat at fcunwey 7" . Oh, yes ; I had forgotten." "If she knew that I was here she'd keep her eyes wide open and post the old gentleman, who yet remains, I be lieve, in blimfol ignorance of the fact that I have madw love to h&child. If be knew meaayuado. Burdock, he woukt play the ute of Virginias beaftel ahoukL w ed his MabeL " He would indeed 7 answered the yotmg nuui called Burdock. " But, I iaty. let ns to work. I have the bottle shall I ' nse it dow?" j We are nut there yet," said the ether i s oilier SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, looking out of the window upon the star lit earth. "We must be very near. The road where Mosely is waiting is one mile this side of the town ! There ! look ! there's the clump of trees he told as about. The road is three miles from this point. We must work now " " What if the old fellow should be shamming?" "Then IU use the bandkerrhii-f effocV ively." "All right." The younger of the party now arose and walked np the aisle to the farther end of the coach. He cast quick but scrutinizing look at the white haired man who, despitehis. suspicions, had fallen asleep. For three successive days he and his daughter haI been on the train, and during that time the father had slept bnt little. His child's objections to the sleeping coaches bad been listened to, and the twain had not j quitted the through car. P They were traveling to one of the larg- v, est cities of the East, where they hoped r to dwell until death should tear them apart and call each from the world. Cyrus Kadclitfe for wich was the fa ther's name was a banker of eminence in a city far West, of the "open sesame" into the highest society of the land, but he was not puffed with the pride that is 5 generally found with riches. Having no relatives, save his daughter, he fixed the great love of his heart upon her, and it was a love vaster than bis wealth. deeper than the sew. But let us return to the scene in the .. . .1 . r. ty-seven miles an boor. The man at the end of the car glided toward his victim, the old gentleman. His movements were watched bv the as sociate whom he had left in the sett. When he paused besiiie his victim he drew a handkerchief frotn his bosom. Then the faint odor of chloroform be came prevalent, and the ha ndkerchief was held under Cyrus RadcliiVs nostrils i lule this was being done the blue eyed man left his seat and crune up the aisle till lie passed his confederate and stood beside the sleeping girL " Shall I doe the others 7 asked the young man in a whisjer, as he glanced at the three remaining pa-'wengers who were asleep in their respective seat. "No! they'll not awaken," was the re- , ply. " Now, give Mabel a bit not too much r i The chloroformed handkerchief, with- j drawn from Mr. Radcliffe. was applied ! to his daughter, w ho unconsciously in- j haled the powerful amesthetic. A moment later the agent of villainy was returned to his bosom, and with a look np and down the car the eld.it man lifted Mabel from the seat. " We must be near the road. Rinar the engineer down to slower time JuickT These words were spoken to the young man, who caught the bell-rope and tng- ged at it manfully, "Curse it!" he exclaimed. "It seems to have caught somewhere. The train is increasing it speed." The face of tlie man who held Mabel in his arms suddenly grew pale. "Jerk it with all your might!" he cried to his confederate. The man obeyed, and the rope snap ped in twain. "Tlie jig is np, I'm afraid. There! we have patwed the road. It seems to me that we are going at tlie rate of forty miles an hour." "Yes, fifty of them ! said his compan ion between his teeth. At that moouTOt the door before them swung open, and Conductor I Hi vis step ped into the eosxh. The blue-eyed man hastened to place Mabel in the soil fmtn which he htid lift ed her without being seen by the con ductor. But in this he failed. " (ientlemen," slid Davis calmly, and at the same tim displaying a revolver, "yon will oblige me by returning to the seat yon have lately occupied. Your lit tle scheme of abdoctior failed, and I would inform yon that yon will be un der gaard the remainder of t he run. Any attempt to esaipe might be a' .tended with serious results. I witnessed pour villainy from the platform." The raj -a k did not rej ly, but with dogged ullecness dropped into the seat, and two brakemen. anueij with revol vers, were placed ove Ibea 1.

A Revised Edition of the Tariff. The Democrats want a revised edition of the tariff. Of course they do. They promised their foreign allies they would venre this, and they are urged to keep iheir pledges. When tbey came into power the first thing they did was to re vise the tariff, which consisted of placing a host of articles on the free list. They reported to the House of Representatives J the most objectionable bill ever offered ) to that body. Thanks to the RepuWi- 4 cans, the bill was killed. Then Mr. Mor rison, as the mouthpiece of the adminis tration, got up a bill that cut and slashed everything. Aided by a few Democrats the Republicans struck out the enacting clause and it was loet. At the next ses sion Mr. Morrison presented another bill, w hich had previously received the assent of tlie administration and party leaders, and the party whip was used to pass it. This time iron and coal were placed on the free list as a punishment of Pennsyl vania for its Republicanism, but the Re publican party fought it to the end, and with the aid of a few tariff Democrats de- feated it. So much for their revised tarift j They have shown what they would do if ii they had the power. Whether they shall f be entrusted with that power, and thus commirMoned to bring rot and ruin, de pends on the voters. It is for them to decide. Senator Edmunds in an address at the Burlington State Fair made the following presentation, showing that all our indus- I tries are mutually interested in a tariff to j ' . , ... - , i not to interfere with home industries. I tie sato : "Among the problems of the farmer, the manufacturer, the artisan, and the Swage worker (and perhaps the most im portant of any) is that of diversifying , productions, manufacture, and industri al employments, so that the natural re source of the country shall be drawn upon, and the accumulate i slock of prop- 1 erty of every kind utilized ; and all its working force employed at renurnerative prices. It is perfectly clear, that the far mer is nec essary to the manufa-turer and the miner to the laborer, and in equal degree they each and all ar j necessary to him, and thai the co-ordination and co operation of all for the welfare of all by the utmost diversity of production and employment, and by oltserving the just relutions of prices among all are ind'is pensible to the progress and and prosper ity of the community. To attain these beneficent ends as nearly as possible, hu man experience has shown, I think that in a country of varied and abundant nat ural resources fertile lands, w ide varia tions of latitude and climate, mines of all metals, coal, forests, water power, a coun try free from legal monopolies, and bound , yy ha National and State Constitutions j 1 equal to taxation and the security of e fai personal rights home markets and ! b vme consumption are the sure ana only rC 'limee. These evident, and indeed al m ost self evident, considerations point, as yon can readily see, to the one eonclu sim one that is not, and I have and be lieve will not be thought, political in any sense that the policy of American legis lation and American lawmakers who are really tie people ought to be direc ted to the utmost development of every variety of Armriran production, and as to the improvement of the condition of the American laborer and the American employer of labor of every kind, by giv ing that labor fall employment and ade quate reward, and to the employed ready and steady market. The constantly em ployed well paid laborer will become kiimself a man ol accumulating capital Hie force of labor transposed into things, lie will become a land holder his wife and children of the first whom he ought to have ooe, and of the second awany will abide in his own house." The Charities of the G. A. R. Well, words are facts, when they an itnunce great principles. Btrt thj Order has something else to show. It is doing a grand and noble work in charity to the families of deceased and dependent sol iiers. For this year the actual reported ollay exceed $;!5:.0OO ; but if we reckon the amounts paid for the same purpose aitd never reported it is fair to say that aH lesw than half a million dollars have been thus expended. I Miring the sixteen years from 171 to 18SH, the sum of $1, I73,H.'8.r50 has been disbursed in charities; and as it is well known that one-half is not reported, there can be no exaggera tion in saying that twice that amount has thus bea well speot. It may, indeed, be doubted whether this Order does not give a greater percent age f its re eipta, if not a larger total amount in charity, than any other orgao iaatiuo, religions or secular. There ar e no distributing agents in the Order. Jill the avmey disbursed in charity ii "iven directly to the needy recipients; tVe fam ilies of deceased soldiers, or th cs de pending on soldiers who, because of dis ease or wounds, are unable to pr jyic.e for their families; and, in some ins lances, to the soldiers themselves.

Tlie lawyer was taking the deposition of a witness fh his office in the Mills building- The pencil of the stenographer was moving rapidly over his paper, leav ing behind it a string of pothooks and oilier absurd symbols of speech.. Yon say you have known the defen- i dant for the past ten years. Now, I want to ask yon whether at any time daring that period yoo ever noticed any symp tom of insanity in his behavior?" contin ued the lawyer. At the instant the lawyer began this i juery the stenographer turned to the re porter, who was seatad by his side at the table, and without stopping his writing for a second whispered: "Wait a mo ment and I'll be through. , This won't ; last much longer." The reporter looked anxiously at the notes, expecting the pencil to stop iu travel, or at least at the end of the ques tions, retrace its steps to revise some phrases incorrectly tranacibed. But it made no such break. When the lawyer ended his inquiry the pencil stopped. " Now, sir," continued the lawyer, 'yon may tell wether you were well enough acquainted with the defenilant to know whether he showed any weakness of mind or not?" Before the stenographer had completed the second line of his report he again whispered to the reporter not to be in a hurry, and as before, concluded his work without a particle of apparent interrup tion. This was the last question, and af ter the papers were gathered together and the witness had left the office, the reporter asked the stenographer whether he bad w ritten correctly all that was said verbatim, or had only epitomized what had been spoken. " I wrote exactly what was said. Why do you ask " Can you read it without difficulty 7 " Of courstj I can, otherw ise I should not be here ; bat why do you ask ?" " I didn't -ee how you could write down what was being spoken and speak to me upon another subject at the same time." " That is eay enough to d." respon ded the stenographer with a laugh, " w hen you only know how and practice long enough. Shorthand writing is very much like playing the piano or repeating something from memory. It is tnechan iial. I found years ago when I was re porting in a western court, that it was extremely useful to be able to hear and think of other thingw transpiring in the court room than the evidence itself. I then began practicing so that I could train myself to do two separate things at the same time. I would mentally make note of everything occurring around me and keep on with my writing. At first I woul.I make a mistake or two, bnt I gradually eot so that I could hear every thing that was said and understand it also, notwithstanding the fact that my pencil was nvwing at the tune."

If any man says that this is dead issue I do not arrte- with him. I cannot reason with thoe who renounce reason. As well as give medicine to the dead. It is a ques tion throbbing with life, vigorous, robust and sinewv. It is propounded this hour by the sphinx of our Natiomd destiny under the inexorable condition of death if not eorrectlv answered. With a total vote of less than 28,000, ten member of Congress were chosen fnini the state of tieorgia, who wieid as much power in molding National legislature as anv ten Congress- men from Pennsylvania chosen in a total vote of oOO.OOO. The atrocity of this out ragu apun the ballot will appear in a still more vivid light when you rememlwr that the enfranchisement of the colored race brought to the Electoral Coiiege from the South an acquisition of thirty eight votes, and the Ietnocracy by means of a despotism unmatched in heartless cruelty, appropriate.! them ail to their own me, and left the rojored Republi cans of the South unrepresented. By rea son of this usurpation of political power the lemocracy enjoys temporary snpretn acy. This wrong must go unrightcl un til Republican supremacy is restored, for reasons plain enough to glimmer through a blind man's eye. nt'TBTn) tMir n-niE. To provide for our own house and those who are of it, is the first duty of a Nation, as well as of an individual. Oliedient to this principle the Republican partv has from the dav of its birth iniste.l that the -ommercial and indiL-trial policies of the Republic hoiild ls fashione-l. It says j to the citizen, " Invest your capitaL build j your mills, factories and forges, put in i your machinery, employ your labor, set j your furnaces glowing, your spindles j whirling and your wheels humniing-and i the majesty of the law will protect vou ! from the competition of the underpaid i laborer of Europe, and enable yoa to j pay living wages to men of brains as well as. muscle, and still leave a residuum of adv4ntage in the market for your gools. The prosperity of American labor lies in a protective tariff, which like a faith ful sentinel stands guard over, the forge, the factory and the field, and secures to the Amerii-an wcrkinginan the enjoy ment of his rightful heritHge. It helps him to a home for his family, respect for his wife, and education for his children. It increaes his intelligeniv his inde pendence, his pnsl active power, his self respect. It jives him an incentive to in dustry, a desire for improvement and makes him a nun instead of a machine. He who would destroy these beneficent results by the cutting of the dykes which Republican wisdom has built to protect the labor and homes of our toiling mill ions, and let in the bitter waters of free tra'le to cover the land with desolation, is scarcely less deserving of reprobation than the wretch who pierced the wall that saved the smiling home of Holland from the desolati ng sea. PROTECTED HoW!. It is a stupendous misconception, only possible to DeniotTutie lack of foresight, and in which many of those eniraged in the liquor trarhc are t.jo w ise and prudent to sliare, that supposes the Iem.icratic unlicensed liberty and a continental Sundaycan bold an equal encounter with the Republican party, regulated liberty, and Christian Sabbath. When the con science of Pennsylvania is marshaled in this arena, the church and the school house, the forces of the new alliance, un holy and unpatriotic, will make no mor al impression upon the resistless tread of its march, than a sparrow's feather on the sweep of a hurricane. The power of the saloon is one which the social security requires to be subjec ted to restraint, and if the intelligence, patriotism and moral sense of the (.-immunity cannot maintain its ascendency ; if the elevating and restraining forces of society cannot keep the saddle and hold the sword of command, it is easily seen that the longer we live, the less capable w? win oecra? ir c ni? management 01 j i-itvtr jj-wM-il m'iihmarv nil tftss rnaarw tut!n i les are we in the gra-p of those titsnic for.i which seek to defv the control and overthrow the dominion of law.

"The fashion for tortoise shell cotuhs is returning," said a large aptown retail er to a reporter. Some five years ago combs were eodsidered out of lashion, and nobodv used them excel ladies of the old school, and Jhe eoroh were very small. But the stvle has been ! growing in favor, and I should not be i urpri.il to see in a few years the enor mous comb of or.r grandmothers worn . " Des the stvle of the comb originate here, or is it importetl from Paris, with j the rest of a woman's headgear?" akel tjle reporter. Oh, no : I boy my goods from a manu- j facturer in the city who has been in the j trade for a nuiuberof years. Tlie French combs do not take here, and at the same j time the designs are so eleborate that i they cost, w ith the duties, too much for i the average purchaser." i i n the second floor of an old fashion j ed buildwic the reporter found the i large, tortoise shell comb manufacturer in tlie city. He said : " Tortoise shell j couies chiedy from Central America and t and the West India islands. The na- , tives trade the shell for provisions and I clothing, and down there it is as good as j silver." t Are the shells brought here whole?" j asked the reporter. i "Oh, no. When the natives catch the , tortoise they kill him anil expo the shell j to the fire, which loonens t.'ie plates, and j then they are easily pulled apart. There i are thirteen plates on the back of the j tortoise and thireen on the stomach, j The stomach plates are what we call j amber shell, and are worth more than j the rest, for when they are polished they ; are almost as light as genuine amber."

They are then sent to mi other room, where the rongh edges are cut off with circular saws ahotrt as large as the end of a lead pencil. After going through several processes the comb arrives at the la.t stage, the polishing Mom. There are a nutulier of wheels of different sizes, some thicker than others, revolving at a rapid rate. The proprietor ex j.tained : " These wheels are composed of many layers of muslin cloth, and the heat genrated through friction removes all rouirhness and pots on a beautiful polUh. jrhL-h lasts as long as th comb." " Do you make any of those very large combs, like that specimen in the case?" The manufacturer p'n ked up the comb. which measured fifteen inches wide and eiclit inches high, beautifully carved, and replied : " That comb was sent here from Brazil bv a ladv of Don Pedro's court.

Among tiiexe may he mentioned Pierre Lonllani, James tiordon Bennett, Senator Evarts, and I don't know how many others; enough, anyhow, to pot him on speak ing terms with three-quarters of the men whose names are familiar to every body." isoiuething in the tone of his voice and in the rather amused smile that accom panied it made me push my inquiries further. Tlie man who was supposr.1 to know' every b.sly worth knowing had not the distinguished ah usually worn by such personages. I was not, therefore. o niocbi surprised as I won id otherwise have been when I learned that he was Kelly the butcher. The rest of his name was said to be immaterial; but not to know Kelly the butcher was, I was as sure.!, to a-gne one' self unknown. For years he and his father before him kept a butcher shop at l'niverity place and Thirteen street. Here were cot the juicy chops and the tender steaks, and from here were sent tbedelicate fowl and game that have tickled the palates and pleased and satisfied the stomaci s of a genera tion of the wealth and prominent of New York's eitiaens. Catering to the stomach of these patricians, Kelly learned certain interesting characteristics of each, and some of these he imparted to my friend, also his patron, who iu turn related them to me. Senator Evarts, aocorlirig to his men man, is very particular as to the de-.h he eats. Although his face look like a piece of parchment, and has no more color in it, yet he indulges in rare steak and roaot beef, meats that contain tiie most blood. He is very particular about them also. His cook selects the meat ten days in advance of the time it is wanted fir the table, and has it cut off in his presence. Then Kelly puts it into his ice box, where it remains nntil it is sent to the senator. Pierre Lonltard is one of Kelley's bet patrons, and one who has stuck to him since be moved up town. His bill for meat alone when be is at his town resi dence sometimes reaches $7i) a month and averais-s .. It would be impos sible for any family to spend that amount for meat even with a house full of guests, but Lorillanl, like Bennett, is a high tiver, and aims to secure delicacies for his guests that make a visit at bis house a much coveted privilege. His orders are such, somtimes. that it is neecessary to spoil large quantities of meat or fowl to get at the particular part he desires. Thus, for instance, when he orders ten pounds of chicken breast, a great many chickens would have to be cut up to sup ply that amount. He would, of cotir, be charged just as mia-h as though he had orlered that number of chickens. It M venr profitable for the the butcher, un doubtedly, inasmuch as he can sell those parts of the chickens that have not been ul and in that way itet double pay fur the same article. When it cxii.-s to orders of a like nature in regard to more expensive game, as canvas back ducks, grouse and so forth, for while he does not grwnbie at the bills, he wants what he orders on the moment and will n t take any excuses. Bennett is probably the most extrava gant of all. He has not been in New York for some years now, but there is no reason to believe that he has grown any more economical since he went abroad, even though his newrwper has lost so much in circulation. His household was run on the most extravagant si-ale in every respect. He paid a man in one of the oyter saloons to remain np ail night in readiness to prepare oysters for him at sny time he might desire them. His orders to his butcher exceeded in extrava gance those of all the other nabobs and $1,000 a month went int) coffers of Kelly the butcher, from this source alone. His servant. lived on the fat of the land, for his orders for supplies were on such s grand scale that a large portion of the food brought into the house had to be thrown away daily. While his father, who made tlie fortune his son attempted to but could not dissipated, lived the servants were held in some sort of check but even then tbey had a plea-nint time of it. Every morning this order came down for the old man's breakfast, toast and tea. These slices of toast, stamped in artltic shapes, and a pot of tea would be sent up to him, while the servants lie low dined on porterhouse steak, lamb chops, broiled chicken and other choice vian.lx.
