invited quests and citizens generally.
About II o'clock it began raining,

but they kept on 10 the end OF the route
Lcander We.hcrcll, OF Boston, arrived
on the noon train and began his address

"Just step round behind me, Henry

Ralph.
Hank was entirely of his guard, an,
with his eyes fixed upon the slate on TN
, teachers desk, he sidled round upon TN
/ broad loose board, misplaced by his OWL
hand. and in an instant the other end OF
the board rose up in the middle of til,
schOolroom, almost striking Shocky il
the face, while Henry Banta brought W
or down in the icc-cold water bcncatI
the school-housc.
"Why, Henry !" cried Ralph, jumping
to his feet with well-ieigncd surprise
"IIow dill this happen ?" and he hclpe |
the dripping fellow ont and seated him
by the fire.

Shocky was SO ticklcd that he could
hardly keep his scat.
The boys who were in the plot looked
very serious indeed And Il little silv.
Ralph made some remarks by way oi
improving the occasion. lie spoke
strongly of the utter mcanncss ofthc one
who could play SO heartless trick on a
schoolmate lie said that it was as
much thlering to get your fun at the cX-
pcnse Of another rs to steal his money
Aud while he talked all eyes were turn
ed on Hank. All except the eyes OF
Mlrandy Means. They looked shipper
ingly at Ralph All the rest looked at
Hank. The fire had made his face very
red. Shocky noticed that Betscy
Short noticed it, and gigglcd. The mas
ter wound up with an appropriate quo,
tation from Scripture. lie said that the
person who displaced that board had
better not be encouraged by the success
lie said success with curious emphasis
-ot the present experiment to attempt
another trick Of the kind. For it was
set down i'll the Bible that if Il mqn duo
4 pat for the feet of another he would be
very likely TO fall in it himself Which
made all the pupils look solemn. Ex-
cept Beiscy Short. She gi"elrd And
Shocky wanted TO. And Mrandy cast
an expiring look at Ralph And if the
teacher was not lUvc-sick, he certainly
was sick OF Mirandy's love.
When school was dismissed, Ralph
gave Hank every caution that lac could
about taking cold, and even lent him his
ovcrcoat, very much against lauk's will.
Then the master walked out in Il quiet
and subdued way TO spend the noon re-
cess in the woods, while Shockv watched
his retrcatin% footsteps with Io.inL ad-

From tho San Francisco Post.l

lerOm tho 0hn IduClsCO 1Ost'l
Tho enthusiastic Jack McKenty,
stock operator, and eminent as the
aspiring youth who fired Burning
Moscow stock, years since, and came
near being consumed In tho disastrous
confagratlon which followed, has lost
a bet and Is jolly over 1t. Not very
long since whom the excitement In
Crown Point stock was at its height,
Jack predicted q decline In tho stock.
"Can't keep there-mlne not worth 1t
been there lnyself-bust, sure" said
Jack. A stout capitalist who had
made thousands by the rise of Crown
Point, ventured to e~xpostulate with
Jack, and endeavored to point out the
errors of his thoughts, "Dor't talk
mine's gone up-bet five humid don't
20 to To- humid this year. Take FTP"
The bland and pretty capitalist smiled
AZ he said, ats not my wish to take
your money, my young friend, but l
am compelled to accept your generous
offer. "Allrl," replied Jack, ''putup-
yo' money"
Tho money was deposited In the
hands of q stakeholder, and Jack
rushed off to hedge. Peckham bought
ten shares for him at $40; Budd
bought ten at $345. The certificates
of stock remained in Jacks wallet,
causing much u%neaslness, for Jack
dearly loves to mako a turn" In q
stock, and considers that there Il some
thing mean In hanging ON to ccrtlfi-
cate. The stock continued to rise
slowly and steadily the capitalist
would commlsserate with Jack when
ever he met him, and Jack would try
hard to keep from smillnE-he could
not keep from winking.
Yesterday In the Stock Board Jack
was seated near Budd. Howard Colts
waistcoat vibrated, and then, as tho
volcanic eruption followa the prophetic
earthquake, he belched forth "Crown
Point" There was a bid Of "three
ninety-fye," and then one Of -four
hundred for ten." ~"Sold !" yelled
some one, and Jacks five hundred dol
lar bet was lost. "Four hundred and
five for ten more" cried the buyer.
Jack was perfectly wild. "Sell'ml
ssll'm! sell'm! quick" said he to
Budd In a stage whisper. Budd sold
the ten shares. "Give'm ten mo-"
yelled Jack, and Budd sold the other
ten shares. Jack cooked his head
rapidly first on one side and then on
tho other, until he spied tho portly
capitalist, who was smiling at having
won the $500 bet. "All right, old

BUNTING A CANDIDATE.

Many are the fluctuations Of thu
tribulated Democracy. Their search
for a Presidential candidate Is more
painful and doubtful than that OF ia
phet In search Of his father, or even OF
that later pilgrim, Lord Dundreary,
for his brother "Sam." They are lit
orally trying to swim In a o OF
troubles. Suppose they fortunately
discover al available" what then?
Are they quite sure, If no Is a Repub-
lican, that they will not lose d very
large percentage Of their own army?
When Democrats are compelled to
choose between Republicans, as In
this case they would be, how do our
friends know that the regular Repub-
lican would not be moro acceptable
than the irregular? There Is but one
escape for these continuing and nerv-
Gus souls. They have lost the game
because they have lost their princi-
Piles. We do not claim perfection for
the Republican party; we concede Its
mistakes, as We shall earnestly labor
to correct them; but we claim for 1t
the enduring famc Of having done
more for the nation than any other
political combination In our history.
This people Of ours do not condemn a
party on Individual or special grounds,
but upon Its aggregate record and Its
aggregate merits. They haTeinvested
their confidence In the Republican
party as immeasurably the safest and
best. The way out Of tho Democratic
dilemma is clear. Let that party In
continently dlsband and universally
surrender. Instead Of waiting for our
dissensions, let It candldly yield to the
fat no longer to be denied, that the
men who put down the rebellion, who
abolished slavery, established unlyer-
sal suffrage, secured civil rights, m
forced economy and the reduction Of
the National debt created By Demo
cratic t~reachery, can never DO driven
from the vantage ground by those who
still carry the banner Of blgotry and
keep time with the dead march Of the
past. "

q B PARTY.

There are now two wings OF the
labor movement in this country. The
first and strongest was to have met In
National Convention at Washington
in December, the delegates being rep
reseutatiyes Of the several trade organ
izations throughout the country. The
other Is a n~ondescript association OF
demagogues and tricksters, too idle to
labor, and seeking to cajole the work
ing people Into their physical as we'll
as political support. This branch has
announced that It will meet In Conven-
ton at Columbus, Ohio, next February
and nominate candidates for President
and Vice President. A strong influ-
ence Is being brought to bear upon the
genuine representatives Of labor re-
form, urging them to abandon their
Washington Convention and to unite
with the faction that is announced to
meet at Columbus. This influence may
DO powerful enough to achieve the de-
sired end. If the true reformers con-
sent to this nice little arrangement 1t
will be the suicide Of their association.
It Is true that no reform such as they
seek can be accomplished save through
politics, but 1t Is equally true that the
proposed channel Is tho wrong ono in
which 10 direct their energies. It
might serve a purpose BY displaying
their strength, but what will that be ?
How many thousands Of votes would
they poll for an independent candi-
candidate? We fear 1t would DO the
most miserable exhibition ever wit
messed. With the present mismanage-
ment Of the labor element every true
reformer In the country Is disguised,
and It Is about time that those con-
cerned In it should be thrown over
board. The existence Of any political
party Of workingmcn Is now known
nowhere but on paper, and yet for the
last five years certain ambitious lndi-
viduals have been indu~striously en-
deayoring to organize ono. Fully four
fifths of the people Of the country are
laborers-that Is, men without other
capital than brains or brawn-and at
least one-ffh Of these are organized
into protective associations, which, II
consolidated and combined for q single
object, would be more potent than any
secret lodge that ever flonrished In
the land. The numerical strength OF
the trades-unions is moro than the
balance Of power-it Is the power It.
self. The amelioration and improve
ment Of tho condition Of labor can
come only through legislation, and
that only through the invisible forces
now in operation all over Europe.
Separate candidates for President or
Governor or any other executive office
Is an exhibition Of imbecility on the
part of the schemers which shows that
they lack cunning as well as pro
fundity.
