Greeley after tho Republican Williams
and Fools"
Horace Greeley is after his Repub-
licsn brethren Of Indiana, who adopt.
led resolution at their recent State
Con vention to pay the bonds OF Gov
ernment with greenbacks. And as
Ohio Republicans, on the 4th inst,
adopted q similar resolution, Mr..
Greeley's "plsster Of infamy" will tit
them ss we'll ss tho Indiana Repub-
licans. Says Mr.. Greeley:
"But. while our reputation Tor integrity is
thus Of the grsvest pecunisry importancs
to us. scurvy politicians are tempting the
people to play the knave in the face Of oil
imsnkind. 'Psy of the debt 10 gresnbscks.

|so pay il; then take care 10 make green
bscks abundant and cheap, and you will
ssnsibIy Zig ghten your public burdens. and
every rebel and rebel symps.hizer in the
land. shouts, 'Ths. 10 the dodge! Psy the
debt in greenbscks! Issue ereenbscks in
|bundIes! Make the bondholJers rue the
day that they loaned their money 10 put
down the Confedsracy! Punish them we'll!
Legs l.tender for ever!"
The resolution adopted by the Ohio
Republicans reads as follows:
80. That the Republican party pledges
itself TO the fai,hfai payment Of the public
debt. according to the laws under which the
|fve.twen,ies were issued; said bonds should
be paid IN the currency Of The country
which may be legal.tender when the Gov.
|ernment shall be prepared to redeem such
|bonds."
OF all such Mr.. Greeley says:

The PSI Have it.

There is a story going the rounds
OF the boudoirs OF Paris, about 4
handsome man about 40 years Of age,
but well preserved, and only one in
, tirmity-he had glass eye. 1t was
misfortune; but things are so well
manged now days that no one no
ticed it. One evening, having no
other engagement, he accepted an
invitation to :. reception at Madame
Saint 1ldefonse de Pierovcevilles
My hero went to the ball, passed a
charming evening, and devoted him
self exclusively to beautiful young
blonde, who attracted the attention
OF all the company. Shall we confess
it: He fell so in love with the lady
at first sight, that he made her an OF
/ fer on the spot. After q few moments
! of reflection, and some prelitn!naries
relating to the contract, the marriage
was arranged and celebrated in due
time.
When he entered the bridal cham
Der he extingushed the light. A
glass of water was on the table by the
bedside, and lie dropped his eye into
it. The neXt morning as soon as it
was light, our handsome bridegroom
reached forth his hand, seized the
cherished orb, and replaced it in its
order. As soon as he was dressed lie
went to see friend in town. On see
ing him, his friend gave cry Of sur
prise.
Perhaps you find me changed"
said our friend. at is my happiness,
Think of it, my friend am married
to the most ielicitous blonie-such

''Blue eyes

your memory fails you, you have only
to look in the glass to see her eve be-

The bridegroom trembled. He
rushed to the mirror. Oh, horrors,
his right eye was black and full Of fire,
but his let eye was blue, languisfing
and tender. In the glass OF water
We're two eyes, but they did not be-
long to the same person. Tho newly

A Freak Of Nature.

There is a man in Vermont who
cannot speak to his father. Previous
to his birth some difficulty arose be-
tween the mother and father, and for
A considerable time she refused to
speak with him. The difficulty was
subsequently healed, the child was
born and in time began to talk, but
when sitting with his father was in.
variably silent 1t continued so until
the child was five years old, when th5
father, having exhausted his powers
OF persuasion, threatened it with pun
ishment for its stubbornness. When
the punishment WIS inflicted it elicit
ell nothing but .ighs and groans,
which told but too plainly that the
little sufferer could not speak, though
he vainly endeav ored TO do so. All
who were present united in the opin
ion that it was impossible for the child
to speak to its father. Time proved
this opinion to be correct. At ma
ture age its efforts to converse witt
its parent could only producethe mos1
bitter sighs and groans.

The Talmud.

The publication in Berlin of a fault
less stereotype edition of the Talmud
filling 2,1l5 large double sheets, has
recently been announced. 1t is stated
that this voluminous work did not ap-
pear in print in complete form until
1920, when an edition was published
in Venice. y single copy of this early
issue, though iuil of typographical err
rors, Is worth 800 in gold. The re-
cent edition is sold at reasonable
price Th, Talmud is composed of
two parts, the Mishna, or the second
law, and the Gerlnara, that is the sup
plement, the completion. The Mishna
is digest of Israelitish traditions and
a compendium OF the whole ritual law
reduced to writing in its present form
by Rabbi Jehudah the Holy, who liv-
ed in the second century before Christ.
1t is conrisely written and requires
notes. These are furnished by the
commentaries, the Germara, which are
very commonly meant when the word
Talmud is used.
