himself In most striking figure OF

and detestable policy. It Is
the most enormous and disreputable
bid for votes that was ever openly
made by presidential candidate. The
civil service reformers, who are sincere
in the cause, have demanded that the
test for offlce-holders shall be capacity.

The fabric IL made of Stats or more or.

work. etc. and being about o quarter
Of an inch In thickness, they will last
many years. They are finished In oil.
and fit together SO tightly that the

therefore be scrubbed. washed and
oiled, when needed, precisely like
other floors made Of ornamental woods,
which floors they resemble in all re-
spects when laid.

HIRED GIRLs.-If the Yankee lassef

The scarcity is a nuisance to house

girls that are working in factories for

interests. they will come West. They
will readily find good places. and will
find husbands If they want them.
We don't have old maids In Iowa, and
before an imported girl has . chance
to harden her hands with work, some
good looking Hawkeye gobbles her up
for wife.

work done here in working iron and
making glass. The amount OF iron
made is not great, bot the amount

Of rolling mills is about forfy-five, and
there are seventy-five foundries and
machine shops. which work over $780,
600 tons Of metal. The increase dur
ing the past eight or ten years, or since
the effect Of our civil war began to be

aumb's Dogs.

Gumbs. who lived next door to us,
has bought q new dog. He needed q
new one. His last dog used to bark
sil night in the yard until, IN frantic
desperation, we would shy our boots,
and cologne bottles, and furniture at
him. But he always went GU worse !;
and In the morning Gumbs would
come calmly out and gather up those
missives and carry them into the
house. He has more than twenty
pairs Of our boots and slippers in his
possession, besides chair IcRs, and
cakes OF soap, and hair brushes, and

never had the manliness to give them
back. On the contrary, he trained
that dog to sit by the front gate and to
seize US by the leg when We came out.
three or four times n week, apparently
for the purpose Of securing some more
boots. But we poisoned him one
night, and the next morning Gumbs
threw the carcase over into our yard.
We threw ii back. Gumbs returned
1t. We both staid ut home that day
aud spent the time In handing the
dog to ons another over the fence.
Then we hired IN Irishman to stand
there night aud day to return the de-
ceased to Gumbs' yard. Then Gumbs
hired an Irishman. 1t was exhiler-
ating work. The corpse rapidly trav-
ersed that fence six or seven times ev-
cry twenty-four hours. He must have
become familiar with the route, even
IL he was dead. At last he wore away
with 80 much handling, and on the
last day the Irlshmen whiled away
the time by fiinging only the tail at
each other. Our Irishman ut last
buried the tail and resigned. Aud
now Gumbs has got new dog. 1t
will be excessively singular IL We do
not fish for that dog some evening
soon with Goldfish line and piece Of
beef, and run him up all Of q sudden
10 our window and lalnch him into
the sewer. No dog owned by q man
named Gumbs shall exult over US.
