Then I pray you to tell me how he looks!’ ‘Well. he looks what he, is—a great drunkard,’ ' answered the man who had seen the governor. ‘Ah,’ said the. questioner. sadly, ‘it’s a great’pity‘that he should be governor. I understand he owns an interest in more than half the rum shops in Utica.’ ‘Yes,’ was the re- spouse; ‘and he has to look out for them in the morning, 'as he is always too drunk in the afternoon to attend to that or- any other business. I pricked up my ears,” concluded the governor, “for I was curious to know what had caused these two to go for me so severely. Presently I discov-' r ered. ‘Have you seen his Thanksgiv- ing proclamation?’ aske-d'one. ‘Yes. I and I think it scandalous indeed.’ ‘So do I.’ And yet‘that proclamation was written by the rector of the leading Episcopal Church in Albany. ”—-—Utica seemingly no abatement in the nuis- Observer i7 .1 aIDCEO 7*— ." now-“\mc'.~~ . . -. --.
