Are claiming the attention of both

presented n letter to the Senate from
Mr. Unncrolt on the subject, and our

when Secretary of State. Mr. Sumner
eAplaineil that the practice of Prussia
for the past twenty years regarding
1-ilir.etis who had gone abroad, when
owing her military service, had been
not to try them on their return and
sentence them to servo out their time,
but merely to drift thcinnnew. Uythe

could not take place; and consequently
nil trouble to former citizens of Prus

Has been hero several days, but he nt

the people appreciate his, rervlees hi
tho Held, nud many sincerely regret
that he should have undertaken to do
the dirty political woik of the Presi

be permitted Mr. Johnson to beguile
him Into becoming the only Instrument
which could be found in the entire list
of iirmy officers who wns willing to
reliitnle rebels in office, nnd keep the

The elections in New Hampshire nud
Connecticut arc nttntctlng more ntteu

peachment. The former has routed
nud discharged traitors nud their sym

will give them no encouragement, nnd
the conviction of Johnson Is only a
question of time.

Ni-w Yoiik, April 7, 1P08,
A member of ouo of the largest
houses on Broadway sent messengers
to purchase eighty tickets, fnrDickns'
last readings, for Ihe momberr of the
firm and their families, and (or such of
the employees ns desired thoin. Mr.
Dolby bnd kindly ordered that six tick
cts nud no nioro shonld be sold to each
applicant personally appearing; this
to preyept speculation. To secure tho
supply needed in this single bouse,
therefore, a bnkerV dozen of employ
ees punt wait in llooforjialf aibiy, and
nud as thpy were pot qujto nt the
head of the line, they gotuo tickets
after all. When the seeoiid sale was
advertised, they were sent again, this
time at four o'clock of n bittuily cold
morning. At eight the windows was
raised and tho snlo begun. The! first
61 tho deputation was tho filth man
from tho bend of tho column. Mr.
Dolby had been good enough ("to
nvold confusion") to omit tho usual
plan of tho house, nnd had given no
tice that tho desirable scntt. would bo
sold in tho order ot application. The
thirteen messengers hurried home with
their dearly earned prizes, and, on ex
umlnation, they were found to securo
scat ju thu second gallery.
Tho gentleman SvheThaii advanced
0120 for this vntimblo assortment of
chances, waitod n day or two and learn
ed through fvlloW'iutTorers that Mr.
Dolby explained it ns "Aw, a demb
good ell on tho nrlcculaVoril, 'yon
know."
A few days later tho 120 victim
(cat! him Jortcs) nddrcsst'd a nolo to
Mr. Dolby, detailing without show of
temper1 'the unfdttunnto cVrrtV, enclos
ing tin tickets, nnd suggesting that
n check for their market value might
be retiirnctl.rvjr-the beaVcr. liVfappcn
cd thnt..tfvI)i.lby;wftA o"' nnt' '
ckii5na.)ell..irti; office clerk
nt tbe" hotel. ' The. mlnlii.l not
yet begun, and tboiijli ' no' answer
came, Mr. Jorica waited until thay
were over, nnd ho'Jfnd definitely nicer
tnlned that every ticket bad been re
sold. Ho then said to nn acquaintance
who wns n boarder nt Mr. Dolby's ho
tol, " Re good enough to ascertain from
Mr. Dolby hlnisoll whether he rceelv
ed my unto nml enclosures, nnd if so,
find out, if yon can, without rudeness,
whnt he means to do nbnut it."
The interview wns in this wlso:
Ac'jiKiintiince. " Ry tho way, Dol
by, did you get n note from my friend
Jones, returning a bunch of 'tickets
nbout which there wns some jnlstnko?"
Dollii. "Aw, yes, bleovo I did;
friend Jones blnrsled ass."
A. "What!"
J). "Fiieud .Tones blarstcd ass;
tell him s6 tor me, will your" '
A. " Certainly, Mr. Dolby, if you
wish it; but
D. "Oblige mo, particularly; 'tell
'm 'ees blarstcd nss."
Mr, Jones, being told, returns this
message :
Present Mr. Dolby my compliments,
with regret that my limited social cul
ture forbids n command of the elegant
phntocolcgy In which bis' polite rnss
sngo was couched ; arid, however, that
the idea, nnd tbe only ,onf wblcb Ide
sire nt present to bring to his attention
may peihnpi bo gathered trom tho
eriido Aineiican to which lain cnullncd.
In ciudu Amciicni tho statement is
concisely this: "If Mr. Dolby's cheek
for $120 Is not laid on my table boforo
12 o'clock nt noon tomorrow, I will at
tach every rag ol bis luggage and of
his atigtiHt master's too; I will sue him
in tho com ts ami play the devil with
him generally on n nmro liberal scalo
than ho ran possibly have been accus
tomed to in bis widest experience.1'
Mr. Dolby received ' messngo at
it wns given; nursed himself tenderly
at the knob of 111 eane,sald " blarstcd "
a good many limes, but soon nftcr dis
patched a messenger witlt tho chrck
consoling himself, however, by solilo
quizing nloiitl: "Aw! well, its .ho
(list ot tho blarstcd fools as has pot
nny money back, though ; and haw !
mw ! wot lots of 'cm lias tent their
ticket sWkl"
Tius of tho servant, for whom ot
course the. master Is responsible, though
It bu n servant and not tho master,
One equally neat nud equally retiro
seutallvo Inchlcnt in which thu Dick,
ens himself figures:
Duiing Mr. Dicken's stay in the.
city, thu iiati larch ot American au
thors, William Ciillen Rryant, wholly
unmindful of thu presumption moving
him thereto, had thu Irmvrily to drive
to Mr. Dicken's hotel, nnd Irom the
general parlor to send up his card. It
wns but n moment till the servant
brought it back with Mr. Dickens' eer'
sonul assurance that he. had no iucllnA.
tiou to be disturbed; his Invariable
rule since ho lauded having been ami
still being to scu no one.
A week or two since the irre prcssi.
bio journalists who aro preparing this
model gentleman a farewell testimonial
dinner advised Mr, Rryant that he
would, of course, be expected to pre
side. Tho gentlest ot eyes kindled in
a moment, and tho flowing beard wa4
a nefjutfvo not to be misunderstood.
The explanation was in quiet, words,
but they were those: "Mr1 Dicken's Is'
capable of rudeness that cannot be
overlooked."
Finally, a single, fact o( n y ewn
knqwlcdgc, Mr, Djc.ken,t U nuiioiinoeoj
to icad hero uoxt week, tor tho last
time. I hear constant inquiry at my
hotel (and it is thu most aristoeratM
in the city), aiming ladies pud genile-i
men who read all thu papers, when ihe
tickets aro to bo sold. -T lh eveuiup; I
read in tho Mail " personal " card
offering ciolce iutt for- Mr. DlckeM1
readings next week.
