Vnlunblo Information from Sonatoi
Honr A. Story of Garllold Illus-
irntlnR Blnlno's Position ,
Washington Corrcspondcnco of the Olovolani
Jyoador.
Sonntor Hoar , of Massachusetts , live
in nn ologaiit house worth , perhaps , § 70 ,
000 , situated on K street , just bolov
John Sherman's residence , in ono of tin
most desirable quarters of the city. Las
night , desiring to know something ns ti
the political outlook in Massachusetts , . '
called upon him. A dignified aorvnn
opened the door and I was ushered inti
a parlor while my card was taken in t <
the great senator. A moment later in ]
usher returned and led mo into anotho :
parlor , where a portly , comfortable
looking gentleman with a rosy face
for nil the world like that of Iloraci
Grooloy's without the whiskers , shoo !
hands with me , and kindly allured mo i
seat. I took it , and commenced my interview
torviow by saying : "Senator , I have i
number of questions I would like t <
ask you M to the presidential scntimoir
in Massachusetts , " when the senator
straightening himself up in his chair , hii
face covered with the blandest of smiles
replied : "Well , sir , you may putyoui
questions , " and then very slowly nm
solemnly , " but I will not answer-
one word. "
"In that case , senator , there is no
much mo in asking them , " said I.
"No , " was the reply , "my time is toi
much taken up with my duties in tin
state to devote myself to president mak
ing , and when I do express myself I prefer
for to do so by writing a latter myself ,
in which I can give my ideas more care
Fully expressed than in an interview. "
A few words of regret at the sonator'c
decision on my part , and a similar ex
pression of pofitosorrow _ on his that my
: .roublo had boon in vain , and iho inter
view terminated. That it is not more
spicy and full of moat , the readers oi
Iho Loader have Mr. Hoar to blame and
not mo.
MASSACHUSETTS FOH EDMUNDS.
As to the presidential feeling of Mass-
ichusotts , however , ex-Governor Long ,
) f Boston , probably knows moro than
Senator Hoar , and ho tolls mo that the
itato is largely in favor of the nomination
) f Edmunds for the first , and Lincoln
or the second plac < . Mr. Edmunds is
ookod upon as a candidate , though not
n a seeking sense of the term , and out-
ido of him there seems to bo no Dot-
led sentiment in the state
n favor of any ono candidate. If Mr.
Sdtnunds should not como before the
sonvontion the state will bo divodod
.mong the other candidates ,
'resident Arthur has many
rionda aa a second choice , as have
, lso Senator Sherman and Senator
Maine. The same story of satisfaction
vith Arthur's administration cornea from
ilossnchusotts as from all over the coun-
ry , and Governor Long thinks with him
ho republicans could carry the state.
I asked a word or two aa to the fooling
imong the democrats of the state , and
jovornor Long replied : "Tho Massachu-
etta democracy is first for Bon Butler
md after him for Tildon. There may bet
t little sentiment for McDonald , but not
nuch. If Butler bo not a candidate the
tate will probably go for Tildon. "
A VEUMONT INTERVIEW.
I mot'Judgo Luke Poland wearing his
wallow-tailed navy-blue coat with brass
Buttons in the Ebbitt house lobby. Ho
laid : "Vermont is for Edmunds as a
irst choice , and the statp will present
lis name to the convention if no does
aot positively prohibit it. If ho docs , it
s hard to Bay who will bo our second
: hoico. It will certainly not bo Blaiuo ,
ind aa between Blaine and Arthur the
tate will go for Arthur. The president ,
rou know , was born in Vermont. It
van not far from where I livod. I can
omombor hit ) father well. Ho was a
all , thin , and fine looking preacher , and
10 could deliver an excellent sermon. "
"What do you understand , judge , as
o Mr. Edmund's candidacy ? "
"I do not look upon him as a candi-
ate. Ho does not want to bo president ,
lo has now a lifo position in the sonata ,
nd ho has a law practice amounting to
550,000 a year. So you BOO ho has $05-
00 a year without the expenses of the
irhito house and without its troubles ,
lo has not the presidential favor , and I
on't think ho is going to got it soon ,
lo has time for it yet , as ho is only fifty-
is years old now. I am thirteen years
Idor than him , and I consider myself a
oung man. I w > ts on the bunch at theme
mo Judge Edmunds was admitted to
lie bar. Ho soon acquired a good prao-
ice , and his position is as good or bettor
tian the presidency. "
A OUANT STOUV.
At thin point a stranger who had boon
alking to Judge Poland when I came up ,
itd who had listened to the interview ,
aid : "Yes ; Uonoral Sherman is right
rhon ho compares the white houio to the
> ) ace which Bob Ingorsoll says does not
ixiat. A few daya after Grant was notni-
lated a clash-mate of his atVoat Point
: allod upon him and asked him how ho
rot along in his now position. Grant relied -
) lied that ho wa nearly worn out. and
hat if this eternal and infernal thronp
af ofUoe-Boekers did aot cease pretty
teen they would kill him. "If I though )
t would keep up six months I would
resign , " said ho ; "and as it is I have nc
rest whatever. "
[ mot
KX-l'OHTMASTEIl flKNEUAL TVNEU ,
of Indiana , in the Ebbitt house last
night. He is a slender giant of over six
fuot , straight us an arrow , and with
limbs as clean cut as those of Michael
Angola's statute of David. Ho has a
face regular in its features , and so re
markably fair in its complexion that
from his neck rising out of his snowy
white collar to the frosted silver hair
which covers his high forehead , it is the
color of a blushing girl. Out of this
shine two friendly blue eyes , and over
a pleasant mouth sits a short mug.
tacho os white as snow. Mi.
Tyner is now fifty-oight years old.
Twenty-four years ago ho helped nomi
nate Lincoln at Chicago , and during the
latter part of Grant's lint administration
ho commenced a six years' term of con-
< reea as an Indiana republican. When
ho closed this Grant appointed him gov
jrnor of Colorado Tornt < ry , but before
' 10 took posnetsion of the place lie wat
ippoiuted eooond assistant postmaster
general , and in 1870 , Governor Jowell
resigning , ho was appointed postmaster
general.
In regard to the presidential situation
Mr. Tynor said :
"Thoro is perfect harmony in the part }
in Indiana , and our people are disposci
to go to the convention with the inton
tlon of taking the man who on the whole
will bo the most available candidate. In
diana has no pronounced preferences ,
though she would , of course , prefer ar
Indiana man. The delegation will go tc
the convention unpledged , but if at an }
time it seems that the great stcodi
entered for the race are nocfc
and nock , and that a dark horse
is needed to carry off the stakes ,
why Indiana can furnish the nag. If il
does ao it will present the man whc
Booms on the whole to bo the grcatcsl
favorite at the convention , whether il
bo Harrison , Grcsham or Porter. There
are no factions in Indiana as has boor
represented. Each candidate , of course ,
has his friends , but nil are willing tc
throw aside personal preferences for the
good of the party and the state. "
Said I. "Do you think there in a fail
prospect for carrying the state ? "
"Yes , " replied Mr. Tynor , "thoro is i
good prospect. If the chief issue is the
tariff , as it promises to bo , Indiana wil
go republican oven though Joe McDonalt
bo the democratic nominee. The genera
prospects of the party seem to mo to be
brightening every day , and Indiana re
publicans fool confident of carrying the
election. "
"What is your personal opinion , general <
oral ? "
"It depends on Now York. If wo con
carry Now York we will surely elect the
next president. I think wo can do so.
The party is now in a bettor state than
it has boon for years , and there is a general -
oral disposition to act wisely. The nomi
nation at Chicago will bo carefully made ,
and I believe it will bo such as to insure
us a victory. "
"How does Mr. Arthur stand in In
diana ? "
"Very well , indeed , " was the reply.
"Tho poopto have been agreeably sur
prised by his able administration , and
wo have some men in iho party who
would like to have him rcnominatod.
Gon. Sherman , however , is , I think , the
most popular of the presidential candi
dates among Indiana republicans. Blaine
has some strong friends , and there is
some Bontiaiont expressed for each of the
other candidates. Our delegates will bo
elected by districts , and they will repre
sent the divided sentiment of the state. "
11LAINEH ATTITUDE.
A loading republican congressman , on
my asking whether ho thought Blaine
was a candidate , replied : ' 'I do not
think Blaine would say to any ono that
ho is a candidate , but if ho should bo
asked what ho thought of the other
presidential candidates spoken of , I
am pretty sure ho could give plenty
of reasons why none of them should
bo nominated. At just about this
time in 1880 a loading presi
dential candidate mindl I do not
say it was Blaine asked mo how Garfield
stood in relation to the candidates spoken
of. I replied that ho was friendly to all.
"Yes , " answered the statesman , "Jim is
friendly to us all , but I'll warrant you if
vou will talk with him ho will give you
many conclusive reasons why none of us
should bo the choice of the convention ,
[ f no other man would suit the conven
tion , the natural supposition would bo in
Favor of Garfield , and I think this candi
date saw the drift months before the
timo. In the samp way while Blaine
nrill not speak for himself , ho can find
plenty of objections to all the others.

From the Toronto Globo.
BUOCKVILLE , Ontario , March 28. A
remark able case was tried on Tuesday at
iho Perth assizes , before Mr. Justice
Lloeo. It was an action for libel brought
by Miss Susan Homer against Mr. John
P. Bradley. The plaintift in a tall young
woman of good appearance , employed
in the tailoring establishment of
Mr. Walker , in Perth. Her father
is dead. She is a rcspostablo and
ivoll-conducted girl. The defendant is a
photographer , having an establishment
in the main street of Perth. On May
134 last Miss Horner had her likeness
taken at the defendant's photograph gallery -
lory , but when the pictures came to be
printed she did not like them , refused to
take them , and would not pay for them
I'ho defendant cot angry and determined
to punish Miss Hornor. Ho adorned ono
af her pictures with a mustache and put
\ cigar in its mouth ; a second ho deco
rated with a largo rod pair of spectacles ;
md In a third ho caused a blotched
ippoarauco of the faco. Ho pro
cured or wruto seine doggerel
vorecs , and put the photographs
: ind the rhymes in a frame , and hung
them outside the door of his studio.
People , of course , stopped to look , and
A small crowd gathered , ono of whom
suggested that ho was doing wrong , and
that ho was open to an action for libel.
Bradluy consequently took the offensive
miittur in after it had hung there some
thing loss than an hour. Bradley also
printed some cards containing two of
Miss Homer's photographs. To ono of
these ho added a cigar , a mustache and a
flushed face. The other ho loft plain , in
order to make sure of the likeness being
recognized as it was suggested. Ho gave
the card to a young man , tolling him lie
might show it to a few , but was
not to lot it go out of his possession.
This was produced In court. Shortly
nfter all this the plaintiff paid Bradloy's '
bill , not being aware of what ho had
boon doing. The affair caused a great
deal of talk in Perth. The court room
was crowded , and ono or two sensational
incidents happened. Bradley had been
Bubjxunaed to produce the three photographs -
graphs and the verses , but refused to do
jo. lie was swurn on his Bubnujna , and
poiaistod in his refusal , claiming privl
lego on the ground that their pro
Juction would render him liable to
criminal action. A young man
named James Thompson was also called
jmid a buzz of interest , as ho was BUS
nx'torl of bHing the concoctor of the
verses. Ho declined to nimver several of
ilio questions which were put to him , tak
ing tlui ground that ho was not bound to
incriminate himself , Ho answered free
ly enough that ho did not know \vh <
; ompo8cd the verses , that ho had not n
sopy of them , and so , but when asked
ibout the actual writing .of them outrun
the paper , lw refused to answer anything
ibout that , causing suppressed laughtoi
in court. Mrs. Olumont , a boardiin-
house kcoportoatificd that inconscquonci
of hearing the talk about the picture :
and the verses she had refused to allot"
Miss Uornor to b ard with her , as slu
thought something must bo wrong abou
her. Uowovor , on inquiry , she consented
od to take Miss Hornor. Some time after
ward , after the action was commenced ,
the defendant wrote a letter to the plain
tiff trying to effect a settlement. It ii
certainly a remarkable document. II <
tolls her that if she had acted the part o
a lady in paying for her pictures thi
affair would not _ have happened. He
adds : "Tho pictures I made you
were good , ana if you expect rm
to make a wax doll of your face
it is moro than 1 am able to do. Now ,
for the sake of pcaco I will BOO that there
is no moro of your amiable features made ,
and will call in all that was out. If yet
put mo to any moro trouble about thii
subject , I will fight it out to the extreme
point of the low. Then everybody wil
know all you can scrape up against nn
character , and all I can against yours.
Subsequently Bradley paid 850 ink
court. The only question really at issue
was ono of damages. The jury found n
verdict of $200 and costs in favor of tlu
plaintiff , including the $50.

"Gimmo a good big dose of mercury , "
said a traveller , dropping his valise on
the counter of a Chestnut street drugstore
last night.
"How much , five or six grains ? " in
quired the clerk.
"Do yo call that a doeo ? "
"Yes. "
"Well , then , give mo about double that
quantity. "
"But " interposed the pill com-
pounder.
"Young man , " Interrupted the bilious
traveler , "I don't want your advice. I've
got to bolt this pill , and want it to bo big
enough. "
"Very well , " answered the clerk , and
ho brought a five-grain pill.
"How many grains ? " asked the travel
ler , eyeing the mercurial morsel.
"Twelve and a half"replied the clerk ,
unhesitatingly , as ho filled a tumbler with
water.
'J ho traveler's face assumed a martyr-
like expression. Ho throw hit head back ,
ixoaT his eyes on the coiling , opened hie
nouth and cast the pill into the cavern.
Fhon ho \ > ashed it down with water , paid
; on conta to the clerk , grabbed hia valise
ind departed.
"Do you have many such callers ? " in-
luired the reporter.
"Well , I should say so. "Why , you've
10 idea how many people have a mani-
'or taking pills. Wo have customers that
; omo hero regularly once a week and take
i pill or two. Wo sell moro pills between
line o'clock at night and two in the mor-
ling than wo do all day. About this time
if tno year wo have a run on blue pills.
Man who take cathartics'all winter got it
into their heads that they become bilious
in the spring and must doctor their livers
with mercury. There's a hotel clerk
who conies hero regularly once a week in
March and each time Bwallowa a dose of
raorcury.
DOSINO ON THE (5LY. (
"Another man drops in hero every
ithor night and bolts a single cathartic
pill each trip. I said to him the other
light , 'Why don't you buy a box of those
[ ) ills und take them home with you ? ' 'No , '
10 replied , 'if I did that every ono about
: ho house would think I was breaking
lown , ' and ho took the pill and went
iway. Ho'll bo hero to-morrow night bo-
ween , nine and ton o'clock. Oh , he's
akou so many pills that ho don't seem to
nind swallowing them. Most people ,
ipwevor , never grow to like pills. Last
light a man and a woman came in and
iskud for two sugar-coated quinine pills.
L put them in a box , and ho said : 'Never
nind the box , wo'll take them hero. ' Ho
iwallowed ono and she dropped the other
nto half a tumblerful of water and drank
t. The water went down all right , but
.ho pill remained in her mouth , and she
showed it up , and with awful grimaces
iwallowed the bitter purticlos. Women
ind children almost invariably chow pills
) oforo swallowing them.
"A man dropped in the other evening
md asked for castor oil in gulatimo cap-
lules. Ho took throe capsules from the
jox , sat down in that chair , called for a
; lass of soda-water , and put thu globules
nto his mouth , but was unable to get
them dowji without chewing thorn. Yes ,
it mudu him very sick , but ho straightened
up on some soda-water and two cathartic
pills."Most
"Most people take water with their pills
but there are many who Insist on having

Mid thinking of it , they would not makn

lUlUllAItn AND HONEY.
A mild-looking old man entered and
ntorruptod the conversation. "Uhubarb
pill" said the new comer. As it wus
landed to him ho said : "Now a spoonful
) f honey , " The honey was brought in a
neaauring glass. Into it the old man drop-

i shudder ,
Vllo comes hero every few days , " ox-
ilained the clerk , as the old nnm wont
nit. "I never saw him take any but
hubarb pills. Ho told mo ho had butm
aking thum for twelve years. Every now

forty or fifty black men and woman to aid
him in discovering the thefts of diamond !
from the mines. "
"Aro many diamonds stolen ? "
"In the thirteen years that the diamond
mines around the capo have boon worked ,
moro than $13,000,000 worth of diamondi
have been stolon. The minors are Cadres
who steal the diamonds every chance
they got. Take , coforinstall , the diamone
mines of Kimberly , which are two milof
in diameter. In them are forty or fiftj
mining companies and nearly twont )
thousand minors and other employes ,
The diamonds are imboddcrl in a dark'
colored rock , which is blasted o ut The
fragments containing the gems are spread
out on a level field and loft tu the action
of the atmosphere. In a few weeks the
rock crumbles away and the diamonds are
gathered. In blasting out the rock there
are often found frco diamonds , which tlu
minors try to steal. The Cullres nro di >
vided into squads of fifteen , which are
under the charge of a white overseer ,
who never turns his back to them. If one
of the CafTrcs can nick up a free diamond
without being soon , ho swallows it. Thai
is the only way they can conceal it , as
they are searched before and after they gc
into the mines. "
"Where are they searched ? "
"In houses built for the purpose.
Whan a man goes to work ho first enter *
the search-houses , as they are called ,
where ho is compelled to remove all hi :
garments , and to put on canvas trousore
and a jacket which have no pockets in
them. On theii return from work they
are again searched , after which they arc
allowed to change the canvas suit foi
their own clothing. The searchers receive
$40 n week salary. But these precautions
by no moans jproyont the stealing of
diamonds. It is impossiolo to entirely
prevent the stealing , but the precautions
keep the stealing down to a very largo ex
tent The searching , however , is only a
small matter compared with the other
precautions. "
"What are they ? "
"Unless the diamonds can bo disposed
of after they arc stolen there is little
good in stealing thorn , and toward preventing -
venting the sale of stolen diamonds the
diamond police have done much. Each
diamond buyer , seller , cutter , and broker
must have a license from government.
The licensed diamond buyer must keep a
register , in which ho is required to enter
the size , weight , and appearance of each
diamond that ho buys , the name of the
person from whom ho buys it , and the
price paid. Ho must also enter on the
same register each diamond that ho sells ,
and the name of the person to whom ho
sells it. If ho is suspected of buying
stolen diamonds , the diamond police
juiotly seal up his place and compare his
stock and the records on the register. If
they do not tally , and it is apparent ho
lias boon buyiug stolen diamonds , he is
sent to prison to await trial. If ho is
convicted ho may bo sentenced anywhere
from five yeara to twenty years' imprison
ment. If a man buys or sells diamonds
ivithout a license ho is subject to the same
penalty. "
"What is the cost of a license ? "
"Tho license itself costs § 1,000 a year ,
} ut in addition the applicant has to depo-
ut $10,000 , to bo used as bail for himself
f arrested.
"How often are the register oxamin-
! d ? "
"At the end of each month they are all
lent to Mr. Fry , who examines and com
pares thorn. If some of thorn appear
iuspicious oven , Fry has the right to
: loao up the dealers' places , and to ex-
imino their stock. Ho has also the
powers of a magistrate. He is so sharp
that ho can detect a discrepancy at a
jlanco. "
"la it not possible to buy and sell
stolen diamonds without being found
jut ? "
"Anything ia possible , but there is a
reat risk. If a person without a license
buys or sells a single diamond , ho knows
thut if ho is found out ho may pass the
next fifteen years of his lifo behind the
prison bars *

At Toledo a sharp-looking young man
boarded thn Detroit-bound train , and
xftor looking over the passengers in ono
of the coaches ho took a seat beside a
traveler with a face as honest as a four-
lollar bill. Just as the tr.iin was about
to start the young man suddenly said :
"My friend , I am on my way to De
troit to see my mother die. "
"Eh ! that's too bad. "
"I haven't got any money with mo ,
but I'll give you my watch for security if
you'll ' lend mo § 20 until wo reach Do-
rait. "
"Lot's BOO the ticker. "
The watch was a galvanized affair ,
worth about fifty cents per pound. The
man with the four-deillar face o nraincd
it , shook it , and put it in hia pookot.
then ho slowly drew a § 20 bill
From hia vest pocket and handed it over
to the young man. The latter nimply
glanced at it , and then the two smilud.
Then thojj shook hands. Then the watch
und the bill changed back.
The watch was a dead swindle and the
uill a counterfeit , and both belonged to
the "profcsh. "
