IN PREDICAMENT.-lt is very pleasant to
be III love sometimes, but quite annoying when
the tender feeling is accompanied by those
petty drawbacks which are sure to follow
parental hospitality. Such at least is the
experience of one August Klene youth
whose heart has softencd aud whose brain has
grown dizzy beneath the smiles of Camden
belle. Somehow or other her father won't
listen to the suit, and clandestine interviews
have taken place in a vacant lot in the rear of
her residence. Seated on bench, close up to
the fence. they did bill and coo fearlessly as
two gentle turtle doves. But one evening,
lately, their stolen interviews were discovered
by the girl 5 brother, a malignant little wretch,
who out Of their love determined to extract
some fun for himself. With this end in view
he watched for their next meeting, and, when
they were comfortably seated on the bench, he
managed, without exciting their suspicious, to
draw the gentlcmans S cOat-tai and a part of
the lady dress through a crack in the fence
and tasten them to post. This accomplished,
he retired lew PAGES, and then screamed
Justify tor his father. At the first screech the
lovers started to run, but the post held them
fast
:. Let me CO." pleaded the lady.
The gentleman, quicker in expedicnts, threw
his coat off and bounded away Now, the lady
coatdn phil CB' her codt neither could she un-
loose It. Her lover had lett her, her brother
still screamed, and she, IKE an ambitious dray
horse, still tugged at the obdurate post.
The old man was by this time heard ap-
preaching But one course was left. A des.
perate pull tore the dress loose at the waist,
and skeleton clad figure fed wildly across
/ the lot.

Ex-Governor Bullock, of Georgia, has pub
lished an address to the people, giving his
reasons for resigning. He says conspiracy
was on foot among the democratic members of
the Legislature to impeach him and to oust
the Republican members, so that they might
have majority sufficient to convict and that
by resigning he saves his friends from being
ouStod and gives his office to a thorough repub-
llcan, against whom no charges have keen
made and who can, therefore, more CONSTANT
ly demand aid from the President to save
Georgia from the hands of the men who are
determined upon overthrowing her reconstruc-
ted government

How THE PRESIDENT KISSED THE BANGOR
GIRLS. Grant has finally surrendered to the
Bangor girls. After the reception in the Town
Hall on Friday, and after the Canadian Gov
ernor, Wilmot, and Secretary Robson had
made their elegant speeches, the beautiful
rose-cheeked, laughing B,ngor girls went
for Grant. Old Appomattox kissed one and
then they all came like sheep whole bouse-
full First the President hesitated little
perhaps thinking of Mrs. Grant and the chill
dren-then he fanked his face squarely to the
front, and kissed every one who came-and
YOU bet they all came! The pretty girls
he>ieged him on all sides-sometimes two or
three kissed him at once. There was no finch
to old Appomattox when he got started He
waded through several hundred of these pretty
girls. 1t is estimated that the President
kissed six hundred plirs of sweet, gushing,
pouting lips that af,ernoon.-Cor. N. Y

1t must be not little mortifying to the peo-
pie of Chicago to discover that their own in
surance companies are the weakest and most
dishonesty managed of all that they have de-
pended upon. The statement shows a shame
full state of things in the management of these
Chicago concerns; one of them had, in Chicago
alone, risks which amounted to nearly twenty
times its assets and the gross amount of risks
of seven companies was ten times as large as
their aggregated assets, to say nothing of their
business outside of the city The fire which
has destroyed Chicago has laid bare a fraud
which the laws Of the State of Illinois ought
to have been searching enough to have made
impossible.

VINO THEY WERE.-My old friend Marsden
was landlord OF some note, and he was famed
tor queer stories, especially when little set
up. Mrs. Marsden was a very inuuisitive
woman, and was always anxious to know some
thing about every stranger that sojouIned
within their gates. One day two strange
looking men stopped at the house, and Mrs.
Nj. immediltly opened her battery as follows:
: Mr.. MarSden, who are them strange
looking men?
"Who?-thcm?" pointing his thumb
toward them
. Yes, Them" rather tartly.
Oh. them are two chaps-one from
Egypt and the other from Jerusalem-goin' to
give an exhibition up here"
'Air they? Well they'll fail sartin Why
It's nothin' but exhibitions all the time
circuits and furbelIows, and some kind of
imeracks or other. Better do somethin' use
full, they had -
. But this is religious exhibition" said
the old man; "a scriptural illustration like,
you know"
"A whch?'
A sort of scriperal thing-like Bunyin's
Pilgrimage"
"Ab! indeed. What is it?"
"Why," said he, they are goin' to exhibit
the sling that David killed Golah with. IT'S
little thing, and terribly out of repair The
strings are gone and the leather all r1tted away,
and there nothing left but the hole"

TIE CLOVER CLASSES Who are the
Clover classes? ?' Are they the toiling millions.
the laboring man and wlmOn, the farmer, the
mechanic, the artisan, the inventor, the pro
ducer? Far from it. They are Nature nobil-
ity Natures upper classes, Coils favorites,
the salt of the earth. No matter whether they
are high or low in station, rich or poor in pelf,
conspicuous or humble in position, they are
certainly the upper classes in order of
Nature, whatever may be the fictitious dstinc-
tions of society, fashionable or questionable
1t is no law 1t is the duty, privilege and plea
sure for the great man and wholc-SOuled
woman to earn what they possess, to earn
their own way through life, to be the architects
of their own fortunes. Some may rank the
class we speak of as only relatively low-in
fact, the middle classes. We insist that they
are absolutely and without doubt the very
highest. If there is a class of human beings
on earth who may be properly designated as
the low, it is those who spend without earning,
who consume without producing, who dissipate
on the earnings of their fathers, without doing
any good to themselves or the community to
which they belong. They are the only 'ower
order" the, world over. -,Smday Dispatch.

A Good Word for Bridget.

My dear Madam might agree with YOU

that they will have forbidden shindics in vonr

THE passion PLAY. There are one or
two of the interior Villages of a portion of
Germany where once in about ten years,
amidst a rural and religious people, the whole
history, life and death of the Saviour, with tho
attendant characters are depicted in what is
called the :. Passion Play" The population
gathers into the village from the surrounding
districts, remaining several days, through which
the performance Of the play extends. 1t is
curious and grave entertainment, and latterly
has attracted the attention of travellers. The
American visitors at the Passion Play" at
Oberammcrgan gave much offence to the sim
pie villagers by going "behind the scenes )"
and paying court to the actresses. Through
the influence of Judas Iscariot, who figured in
the play, the privilege Of flirting with the
ladies was forbidden to visitors.

SCoTT, TIE RAILROAD KING, PROPOSED
FOR THE PREsIDENCY.-The railroad power of
this country begins to show its hand over a
broader field than that Of local or State politics
Its vast influence has been seen for some time
past in the State Legislature, in Congress,
with the Courts Of law and on the stock and
money markets. Now it aSpires to the Pre>i-
dcncy. A leading journal of the West nomi-
mates the great railroad king of the country,
Thomas \. Scott, )t Pennsylvania, for that
exalted position. And why not? Mr. Scott
wieldS immense power as the chief over
thousands Of miles of railroads. extending from
the Atlantic border to the far West and spread
ing like network over number of the most
populous States. He carries Pennsylvania in
his pocket and holds other States in his grasp
He is man of great administrative ability,
and represents, more than any other, the
mightiest interest in the country. The demo-
Gratis could hardly select a more powerful
candidate. If the other democratic railroad
magnates, such as Vanderbilt and Gould and
Fisk, who control the New York Central, the
Hudson River, the Harlem, the Erie and
other lines, we're to combine to place the chiet
Of the Pennsylvania Central in the Presiden-
tal chair their power might prove irresistible
The railroad power might prove superior 10
