A young author obtained permission from the celebrated satirist Piron to read him a tragedy whio.h was on the eve of belne broueht out At every verse that was pillaged, Piron took off his hat and bowed: and so freauentlr had he occasion. to do this, that the author, surprised, asked what he meant: "Oh," replied Piron, "it Is only a habit I have got of saluting my acquaintances r ploy of the government. I protest against being mulcted for the cost of the criminal proceedings: against the returning board, while others enjoy the honor and emoluments resulting from its decision.

There still remains $l,37o due on the udement, and this must be met on January 1, 1880.

On Friday he unbosomed him self to a city journalist regarding his so- called statement published in tne frovi- dence Journal. On the day following the scene at Canonchet, .Linck received a telegram from the Hon; Nelson W. Aldrich. Representative in Congress from this State, dated from this city, and asking him to come to Providence at once. Mr. Aldrich was acting in-con- innetion with Mr: Danielson. editor of the journal, ana .Senator Anthony.'to shield Mr. Conklmanditwas very de sireable that, sjome.tJu.ing . sfcoukl be pub lished that would give to the world the impression that Mr. Conknng was a much-abused man, and innocent or the charges gossipers had already begun to mafee against him. JLincK came nere and saw Mr. Danielson, and, after the interview, wrote a very elaborate state ment, that was to be published in the Journal on the following Monday. He then returned to jn arragansetT . ner, taking up his residence at Lake Side, On the day of the publication Linck was much surprised, so he says, to re ceive a visit from Mrs. Sprague, who talked to himmherr severely for not censuring the Governor's- conduct ili'a stronger way in his statement. During this tirade Linck learned Mrs. Sprague's own lips the fact that Mr. Danielson had sent a proof ot the statement. to her at Narragansett Hotel very early on Monday morning for her revision, and that that accounted for many changes in the wording and the mutilations that were so apparent. Another trick play ed upon the guileless German was that perpetrated by Mr. Danielson, who, when applied to by Xanek focadvice as to whether it was best to get out a writ for the .Governor's arrest, charging him with assault, recommended that he go to see K. H. Hazard and get legal ad vice from him. Mr. Hazard was an in timate friend of the Spragues, and a confidant of Messrs. Danielson and An thony, and was willing to aid the Jour rial in its attempts to shield Mr. Conk ling. He told Linck that Sprague's great influence, together with the money he could command, and the great cost he TLinckl would be'putto, would make it rather embarrassing' for him, and it would be better for aD, if there was any fancied difficulty to forget and forgive. Linck was easily persuaded to drop the matter, and so (Senator Anthonys en deavor to keep Mr. Conkling's name out or our petty courts proved successrui; CLOTHING !
