Till You learn TO take your regular dram.
II you attend a social party, you are
regarded as a sort Of disagreeable intru-

much OF you as they do Of the half tight,
or in polite parlance, the sLeuated young
or old men, who can cut capers like crazy
monkeys, flirt with them aid whirl them
round like tops, and then take inexcusabIe
liberties, which Of course give no offence
and no one is expected to resent, because
che didn't know what he was doing"
Even your wife won't think as much of
you. Iou may deny yourself every luxury
and extra expense to add to her comfort,
aud procure her comfortable home---but
its oil nonsense, she'll think q great deal
more Of You, IL you'll just show yourself
good telloW--take little with your
friends-;just enough, you know, TO make
you feel funny--and make fool of your
self: If you'll only ''cut up little at
parties with her-get tight occasionally,
and spend a good share of what little
money you have. on sleigh rides in the
winter--in short if you'll just act the
1901 and keep up continual whirl Of ex-
element, she'll like you all the better,
and won't mind dilapidated house, or

by the bloody wars in which England

Is fearful burden to be borne, not by

The Election IN Iowa.

BUsLINGToN, la, Oct. 10.
Scattering returns make 1t probable that
this State too, went Black Republican in lts
election yesterday
We clip the above alarming intelli-
gence from the New Orleans Courier
of the 18th inst. We knew that
the New York Herold and New York
Ne,cs had declared there would be an
election IN this State on the 9th inst,
but the above dispatch to the Courier is
the first reliable intimation we have re-
ccived that the election actually did
take place. If the Courier in its next
issue will give us the official returns, we
shall be all right up this way. We
doubt very much whether the State
went Republican; we think, upon ma
tnrc reflection, that we kn.Op the Re
publicans were not victorious-ndry

Some Horse.

The Ogdeusburg On. " Journal
tells the following anecdotes illustrative
of the remarkable instinct and sagacity
eff Lorse in that village:
"Many Of eur readers have doubtless
noticed noble looking horse standing
in front Of DIR. Benton's office, in this
place, where he will remain patiently for
hours without being fastened. He is so
spirited withal, that very few men, ex-
cept the doctor, can keep the saddle /;
yet he will allow Young daughter of
James G. Averell, to whom he seems to
be much attached, to mount him with
IMMUNITY. and when she is in the saddle
no amount OF urging will stir him of
the walk. A day or two since, he
seemed somewhat lame and very rest
less SO that the doctor, when he dis
mounted tied him to the post. Re,
turning in a short time, he was surprised
to find his horse had broken his halter
aud departed. Nothing more was heard
of him unit! one Of the persons en-
ploy ed in Gordon's blacksmith shop in
formed the doctor that his horse had
entered the shop short time previous,
and after rubbing his nose against Mr.
Thompson, who is in the habit of shoe
ing him, he raised one foot, as if in pain.
Mr.. Thompson examined his foot, and
finllng severe stone bruise he opened
it and relieved the noble animal from his
suffering, when he nodded politely a
"thank YOU" and retired.

Wine Baths in parls-A Pleasant Item
for the Lovers of Champagne.

An American traveller in the streets
of Paris, seeing the words, swine baths
given here" exclaimed
"W,ll, these French are luxurious
people, Then with true Yankee curl
osity, and the feeling that he could af-
ford whatever any one else did, walked
in and demanded a Swine bath"
Feeling wonderfully refreshed after it,
and having to pay but tive francs, he
asked, in some establishment, how wine
bath could be afforded SO cheaplp His
sable attendant, who had been slave in
Virginia, and enjoyed SLY bit of hu-
NOR. replied ''Oh, massa, we just pass
it along into anudder room, where we
glib baths at four francs"
''Then throw it away, l suppose ~
mo, massa den we send it lower
down, and charge three francs bath.
Oars plenty Of people who amt so ber-
ry particular, who will bathe in it after
this at two francs head. Den, massa,
we let common people have it at one
franc piece"
"Ihen, of course, you throw it away"
exclaimed the traveller, who thought this
was going even beyond Yankee profit.
"No, indeed, massa," was the indig-
nant reply, accompanied by profound
bow ono, indeed, massa, we arc not so
