Tbe following is indirectly from the (resident bimitelf : Arthur is not troub-e-l with Bright' disease, or any other kidney complaint so far as he knows. There has been no consultation of physi cians or no roal or imaginary sickness nffecting him. He hod a cold some time ago and his physicians prescribed for that. Whoa he left Washington be wai troubled with malaria, but not in asevere form. His physicians advised him to go inland to got rid of it. This was the rea son of his trip to tho Thousand islands, no enjoyed himsolf vory much while tbore and has oomoback fully rostorcd to health. Any stories of bis having ohronio diaoaito of any kind aro pure fabrications. The question of assessing a duty upon sugar from tho Hawaiian inlands is again before the treasury department from tho collector of oustoms at Now ' York. In tbe caso in point, which is regarded as a tost case, the collector has assessed the duty on a cargo of sugar from tbe Ha waiian islands to tho amount of nearly $200,000. Protests were tiled against (ho assessment on the grouud thut sugar was exempt from duty under the provisions of the reciprocity treaty with tbe Ha waiian islnndtj. It was contended on tho other hand that tho sugar in question did not come within tho terms of tbe treaty, as it was of a different class from those made- on the islands ut the time the treaty was ratified. In bis report ou the sub ject tho collector of oustoniB Btates that the cuho involves questions of fact which bo cannot undertuko to decido. It is probable that the question will bo re ferred to the collector at San Francisco in order to determine whether the sugar in question is of a class to bo included witU the torms of the treaty. A Seattle dispatch of Oct. 11th says: The captains and first officers of tho two vessols, Challongor and Harvester, who wero arrested for cruelty to sailors have been dealt with by the law as thoir in human and brutal couduct deserved, bo ing placed under heavy bond to await trial. Ik-nnett, first mate of tho ship Harvester, was indicted on two charges of assault with a deadly weapon commit ted ou the person of one of tho ship's crew. Lilly, second mate of tho ship, was also indicted on the same charge. Tho result of tho examination of the charges against Capt. Mountford, of tbe hhip Challenger at Tacoma, resulted in his being bold in tho sum of 0000 to await the action of tbe grand jury hero. Conway, first mato of tho name ship was held in tho sum of $10,000. Tho treat ment given the unfortunate men on tho ship Challenger appears more . inhuman and horrible at every narration, lu ad dition to what has already been pub lished the facts show that ouo nun who had been so terribly beaten that ono of bis brokon ribs protruded through the flesh, jumped overboard and diowned himself to escape the outrages and tor tures to which he was subjected. The crew consisted principally of Norwegians und Germans, who as a class make very submissive sailors. The poor fellow Smith, who shipped as third mate, and was disrated because be deprecated tbe beating of the sailors, and submitted to the most teriible punishments, was ac quitted on the charge of insanity pre ferred against him by tbe captaiu. He will perhaps never again be a well man. While be as confined in a miserable, wet, cold, filthy room, seven feet long, five feet wide and four feet high, whore Le was deprived of all comforts of life and subjected to all tbe miserable treat ment that can be imagined, tbe first mate, a great burly Liverpool Irishman named Conway, would take other men to Lis hovel and comrel them to fight and beat bim, threatening their lives if they refused. Every sailor on that ship was more or 1cm beaten and bruised. Some Lave their heads broken, others Lave their arms bruised and broken, and all axe more or lest used up. President Arthur left Boston for Marsh field on the 11th. F. Pritchord, claim agent of Washing ton, baa boen arrested, charged with forgery.

PIZZUXO A RAILWAY CONDUCTOR. It Un't evory mn tht cn be a twin. Ij isn't every family tlist can boaat twins. (It Un't every fuuilljr that wanta them.) It Uu I every man that would wLu to be twinned, un ions he wo Bood-bokinif. at leant the idea would be uUiK'reeable, not only to be 1IM00I1 infj, but to have an ugly counterpart hroOiir guinfr about to double one's uliare of the world s illgliU 00 account of one's homely appearance. ,1. AndaKaln, who, being handsome (unloM be was virluoua), would run the riak of having s bandnoine twin brother liable mistaken tor bim on various oritlcal occasion; and liable, in roKuery, to be putting bim into awkward pol tioua and loaviiig him at his wifl end to get out of them? .,.,,. Providence bat not greatly multiplied twin dom upon the werld, and father aud mother and the ret of mankind, upon the whole, have reaon to be thankful. The majority of ui, fortunately, are nonucha original human tub, ordained to stand, each upon iu own In dupendoutiudivldual bottom. And if we aro, therefore, the more responsible for our own In dividual moral leakines we got, aUo, the moro reward for our ows special moral nouudnemi. Let ns, then, all strive to be water-tight. We who wore not born twins, aftor the above philosophio eomrfdoratlons, may look with perfect nonchalance npou tho story of Bdward and Edwin Howlpaw, brothers, whom Impartial Nature hal rendered equal in ago, and alike in appearance ize, weight, form, gait, etc ami 1 in almost every other respect, with the exception that Edward, whom wo will designate a No. 1, was ol a more serious tur of mind than Edwin, whom we will designate as Howlpaw No. 3. Tbe latter was apt to play pranks at the expense of the former, so that rognory bred indignation, and the twins quarrelled very often, in strange violation of the tacit injunction given by Nature when ulie barmoulzvd their presentments in so sk'nili cant a manner. Thus, though like, .thcy'wero nnliko, and likely to pull in different ways. No. 1 Howlpaw tried for a time to baflle the tricks of No. 2 Howlpaw by dressing differ on tlv; but it became too expensive and uiuhms, for No. 2 copied the dress invariably, so that No. 1 must e'en change forever, or allow the odds to be evoned. The odd wero againt him. It was odd, considering that ho was a twin. And how very odd it is that brothers, especially twin brothers, should wrangle. Vet, though these twins of ten quarreled, there was no malice between them. Though No. 2 often mortified No. 1, No. 1 saw that it proceeded only from a love of sport, and if an gry, he suppressed the appearance of discord for the honor of the family, which was a very respcctablo one, and paid heavy taxes for the good of the commonwealth. Ono day the two Uowlpaws got into the rail road cars to go and see their rich uncle. Merion aud discreet No. 1 bought bis ticket and took his seat. Iloguish and reckless No. 1 took bis seat in another part of tho same car, hut bought no ticket. He had determined to liavo some sport before the journey was through. No. 1, from long experience, suspected some thing of the kiud; aud when the conductor csmo along, gave up his ticket and wont into the forward car, passing his brother, to whoso seat tho conductor bad not jot come. The col lection of tickots had ooinmenced in the rear car and was proceeding to the first oue. No. '1 Howlpaw uau seen ao. 1 Howlpaw glvo up his ticket, and pass him, unseen by the conductor into the forward car; and now when tho conductor came to him, he said: "You havo my ticket, sir." "I know it," replied the conductor, mis taking him for his brother. "I demand it bsck again,'' uid No. 2. "Why so'r" asked the surprised oonductor. "Iiscauso you've no right to takes ticket un til tho journey is finished," said the bold Howlpaw, looking a volume 01 lawsuits. "It is the rule of tho road," said the conduc tor. "That may bo, Bir," persisted No. 2, "but it won't stand' in law; and now I warn yon here in tho presence of these witnodses, who havo heard you admit that you havo tsken my ticket, that unless yon ruturn it to mo until the Jouruoy is ended, I shall certainly suo you for the outragel" Here was a perplexing predicament tor a conductor. Tho question raised was new to the conductor; aud being merely a man of routine, no mure prepared to argue a point with a passenger than if hn had been a ma chine, lie became confused, cast appealing looks at tho other paxnongers to decido tho mattor for him, and, finally, fooling insecure and dreading tho law, he had hoard such tricky things about it after a few angry words, ho reluctantly gave audacious No. 2 a ticket and then sped into the next car forward to Col lect his tickots and Ms vexation. 'As soon as ho had vanished No. 2, with the ticket went back in the car to the seat which his brother had first occupied, and awaited the result with niorrily twinkling eyes. His fel low passengers thought he was No. 1, and thoiiKht ho was a smart fellow to have over awed a conductor. And so he was. Meanwhile the chagrined conductor discussed the question with several friends in the for ward car; and they sided with him, and told him he ought to demand tho instant return of the ticket, or stop the cars and put the fellow out. Alter this debate the conductor, pondering over tho matter, resumed the collection of tickots; and soon, on his way, he encountered No. 1 Howlpaw, whom ho mistook for No. 2. "So, sir, you havo followed me into this car, have you?" 'said the conductor. "1 enoso to cnange my seat, repnou ao. 1; "hut von havo roccivod my ticket in tho car behind." 'I did sir; but I gave it to you again; and I have since taken advice on the subject, aud now I demand it back." 'Did you say you gave it back to me?" said No. 1, with a grave surprise. "Certainly, because you threatened law upon me; but the law can't touch me, I find." "Tho law will touch von," returned No. 1, much nettled, and in his anger forgetting that he had ft mischievous brother; nor could he conceivoof such a trick at any rate. "The law will touch you it you force tho prieo ol two tickets from one passenger, ion have mado a blunder. Mr. Conductor. Traveling so much in the cars confuses you sometimes, no doubt." "I want that ere ticket 1" responded the con ductor in a voice tremulous with rage. "I don't, for I've given it to you once; and all I want is my ride, which I am having.' "You won't havo it out! I'll stop the train." "Mr. Conductor," said No. 1 Howlpaw, ris ing, "go with me into tho car yon have just left, and if anybody says he saw me receive my ticket back again, rerhaps I'll pay you the price of it." "Come along, then," said tho conductor, tri umphantly, aud they went. But No. 2 saw them coming; and as, fortu nately for his game, tho train stopped at a way station just then, ho slippci out of the back door, and going forward, re-entered the train iu the ear ahead. TI10 traiu started again, and the conductor and No. 1 made their Appeals as to the return of the ticket. Of course, everybody mistook No. 1 for No. 2, and while some testified that No. 1 had given his ticket, nearly everybody was positive that he had made a lust about ii; that they taw him leave his seat, and saw him take back bis ticket and then go back to his seat again. . No. 1 was overwhelmed. "I did leave my seat, but I loft the car also." "But you came in again," said several, "as soon as 'the train started. We saw yon." "Was there ever such a pack of stupid liars'." muttered No. 1, looking ferociously at tbe in quisitive company. Please to fork back that ticket," insisted the conductor; "I am tired of this nonsense." "You are right now, Mr. Conductor," said several, "though yon were much to blame for giving it up in the first place." "Where is Edwin?" refiecti-d No. 1. looking in vain for him, that he might come to his as sistance. Hnddenly the solution of the mystery was clear to him. His agitation prevented it before. "Gentleman!" be exclaimed, "mortised as I am to confess it, I see bow the mistake has oc curred and will explain it to yon. I have a twin brother who looks exactly like me, and is always playing tricks upon me. That brother ii now in these cart, and be it must have been who bat perpetrated this Joke and caused the mistake of identity." "A twin brother who plays trick upon bim! A likely story! Ha, hal" laughed many. "U iitM you belong to a tncky family." "Oues you tee double, as well a play double." "All I ask," porslstcd No. 1, pale with shame and wrath, "is that you search the cars. You will certainly find him. We got in together, for we are going to see our uncle." "Some pawnbroker," cried some, derisively. "Of eourse. He' ft sharper, and he's hard np." But the impatient conductor and No. 1 Howlpaw went iu search of the twin brother, whom the former believod to be a myth. Much to tba lurpriseof the conductor and tho Joy of No. 1, No. 2 was found. He was having ft whole scat to himself, and calmly eating peanuts. Experienced joker as be was, when he looked up and saw tho anxious face of that brother whom ho leemod born to torment for having dared to bo born at tbo lame time with bim, be could not refrain from laughing aloud; but ho speed ily resumed bis equauimity, though it was ex ceedingly cheerful, and offered a baudful of pesnul to both his persecuted brothor and the conductor. They declined, but made their errand known, No. 1 relating in detail bow he had been mor tified, and appealing to him to rectify the mis Uko and restore the ticket. "1 hare had but one from both of you, gen tlemen," added the conductor, "and that oue I returned like a fool." The Inveterate No. 2 resolvtd not to let tho joke stop here, spite of tho imploring look of hi matter-of-faot brother, Ho he put ou ft graver and half-reproachful ittpect a ho said; "Now, Nod, this is is what I call carrying tho joke a little too far 1 You may play your jokes on me, as you always do, aud I'll not say a word; but it is not right to play tricks upon travelers strangers who are under no obliga tion to make allowances for you. This gentle man is well aware that I gave him my ticket when he first eutorcd tho other car, and that he theu canio to you and gave my ticket to you; and since tin n like myself has been mortified at your shifting and snuffing. If you haven't money to pay for your own ticket for pitv's sako give hi in back initio, and I'll pay for yours I" The imperturbable audacity of his brother, in stead of enbouraging No. 1, no actually caused him to smile; aud, for a moment, he was incapable of a reply. Tbe oonductor looked from one to tho other, and shook hix head iu a hopeless maze, First be doubted one, theu the other, then both; and at last he exclaimed: "Gentlemen, I dou't like to swear; but, for God's sake, tell me which 1b which for I am beginning to think I am bewitched, or he mmed, or bo-Bomething-or-othered." "You are only betwixtaud between," replied the col No. 2; "but I am for deciding the quesiiou. Coiue into the other car. I'll take the voieo of my fellow passengers." No. 2 led the wav hack again, followed meek ly by No. 1 and the oonductor. The reappearance of the parties let the whole car in a roar. There were twins aboard, sure aough; but an the passengers (trove to detect points of difference, thoy became as much puz zled as the conductor as to which of the twins received ft ticket bac . No. 2 repeated the statement he had mado to the conductor, and entreated somebody to swear that he w ain't the one who played the joke. "For It is only a joke, I assure you, gentle men," said he ; "though I don't think it is ex actly principle, for him always to be playing tricks on his younger brother.'' "His younger brother !" repeated some one. "How can that be? Yon are twins." "Ah!" replied No. 2, "but he has the oldest hevl, and always did get ahoad of me !" This way of deciding seniority caused much laughter; but .the conductor, feeling that some might be laughing at bim, became rest less again. "This may be all funny to you two twins, and I dou't care which of yon gets ahead of the other, provided you dou't both get ahead of me. You are near your Journoy's eud, and I haven't a ticket from cither of you. Ono ot you is butubnggiug me; aud if both ain't, one is humbugging tho other. 1 dou't want to trouble yon, for you've made some sport ; hut I will make this proposition to you, that if ono of you will please to go out and Jump oft" the platform and break his nock, the other will he enough of the kind, to satisfy tho world, aud pay all charges on this trip." "Oh, pay up, Ned, pay up I" now reiterated twiu No. 2. --Give him back my ticket, and give up your own or pay for ono. This is get ling too seriom to be anything but stupid." "I think so myself,' said No. 1. "I wish von had;thought this playing proxy was a tire soiuo thing, years ago when you have first bo gau to annoy me," and No. 1, with a lachry mose countenance, was actually edging away toward the forward eud -Jf the car, when his tenacious twin seized hiiu by tho arm. Where ara you going, Ned '" "To jump out of tue car!" said No. 1, fiercely. "Of courso I You know wo are within a quarter of a mile of the depot, now ; we shall stop in a minute, and it will he safo enough for you to jump. There I we are stopping uow." And the train stopped. "I was not aware of it," declared No. 1. "You see, gentlemen, how well he can carry out a joke, lint, Mr. Conductor, believe me, if is only ft joke. Here is the price of two tickets. Of course, I pay for him for it is for tho houor of our family; and now, in Justice to my own honor, which cannot permit you to have suffered all this annoyance without some recompeuso, permit me to present you with this ticket 1" And ho returned tho ticket which now ex plained "which was which." "Now, don't give it back to me, I beg of you 1" Aud with a bound he left tho car, followed by his exonerated brother aud roars of laughter from all. Iu tho ht year of tho seventeenth century a man appeared iu Glasgow iu whom the city found a benefactor, who has been rather nu gratefnlly forxotteu. His nann was Wilson ; he was born iu Flakcficld, end, in as far as ho is remembered at all, it is by tho name of his birthplace. He had been a weaver beforo he served a-Ja soldier in the continental wars; aud while so serving iu Germany his eyo was one day attracted by a woven bluc-and-white check ered handkerchief. It was a lucky moment for Glasgow when Flakcficld bought this article. He stowed it away among his treasures, and ho resolved some day to weave one like it. In the rear above named he and the prized haud kerehief. with F'lakeiield's father and brothor, nettled in Glasgow, and there the ex-soldier, re turning to his old calling, attempted to pro duce a wovec blne-aud-white checkered hand kerchief. After some unsuccessful essays Flako tield succeeded and the blue-and-white check ers wero soon familiar all over the country. There was a rage for the novel handkerchief. Fresh set-np looms could hardly produce these articles fast enough, and on them tbe extensive linen manufacture of Glasgow was founded. Some years after the towu-drnmmer of the c''y was a man who excited much sympathy. Ti is hunibio oiliohl, iu fact, was none other thH Wilson of Flakerield, the old soldier and weaver, whose loom had started into life tho above-named manufacture. But rival looms, whose ownes bad greattr capital, beat out of tho field tho "wabsur body" who bad done o much for Glasgow. He fell into poverty, and ail that generous Glasgow could or would do for bim was to wake him useful (on small pay) iu his old days as town-drummer! So runs the story; but it is to be suspected that there is a dash of romance in the details. About the time that Flakeneld and bis kinsmen settled in Glasgow the city was making rapid strides iu manufacturing importance. From it 12,000 inhabitant, in a monthly cess was ob tained for the expense cf the war, which amounted to 1800. It seems incredible, but it can be proved. The amount of this tribute made Glasgow second only toEdiuburgh.which contributed 3880; and thus, in the course of k century, Glasgow bad advanced from tbe fifth m th u.-r.rw) j-itv in th kinprium of Scot- ' land.
