going about holding his stomach in Ills
hands, you would have thought that
he had been fooling with mules hind

Klosphist failing to come to time
in the fourth round, Skinner declared
himself the champion, and left the
Office fifteen minutes later, fully be-
lieving that his employer was second
Colonel Blank, and that his salary
would certainly be increased $3.50 u
year.
The next morning Skinner ap-
preached the store with a vague ap-
prehension that there might be u
"hitch " somehow in the preparation
Of his receipt for promotion, and he
entered the Office with only q dim
hope Of. success. Klosphist was al
ready at his desk, with his eyes dressed
in Dolly Warden mourning, and near
him stood Il policeman, who threw Il
glance at Skinner with an interroga-
tion in it. Skinner turned his eyes
neither to the right non. to the left, but
hurried to his desk, with his heart
palpitating prodigieusly. Presently
a stentorian voice exclaimed, "Skim-
mer! come here!" Skinner went.
And did Klosphist tell him he had
concluded to promote him, and raise
his salary $3.50 a year? Not much he
didn't. He just remarked to the po-
lice officer, "There is yonr mani" and
the officer Of the law grabbed Skim
mer by the arm and dragged him be-
fore an Alderman who fined him
twenty dollars and sent him to Jail for
ten days, on the charge of assault and
battery.
TO say that Skinner was disgusted,
would be drawing it very mild in
deed. He served out his time, and
now he says he will lie a clerk all his
life for the beggarly pittance of three
dollars Il week, and knock down. two
dollars a day, before lie will make
another effort to get promoted that
way.

DEATH OF THE KING OF SWEDEN.
A dispatch from Stockholm announ-
ces that Charles XIV. Louis Eugene,
King of Sweden and Norway, died in
Malmo, September 10Th. This mon
arch was born on the 3rd of May, 1896,
and ascended the throne on the death
Of his father, Oscar T., July, 1859. He
married a Princess of Orange, the
daughter Of William Frederick Of the
house of Nassau. But one child was
born to this marriage, a princess, who,
three years ago, became the wife Of
the Prince Royal Of Denmark, brother
of the Princess of Wales. The sue
eessor to the throne of Sweden and
Norway will be Oscar Frederick, born
in 1929, the brother of the late king.

CURE FOR DRINKING.-The follow
ing prescription was given by an emf
nent physician whose advice had been
sought by gentleman addicted to
drunkenness to such an extent that
his efforts to reclaim himself proved
unavailing. In a short time all de-
sire for liquor was lost, and the debas-
ing appetite cured. It may assist in
the reform of other drunkards. The
prescription is as follows:
Sulphate of Iron, grains, Magnesla
10 grains, Peppermint water, IL
drains, Spirits of Nutmeg, l dram ;
to be taken twice day.

A correspondent in Alabama writes
to the n. Y. Sun that the campaign
has fairly begun in that State, and
that in November it will show ma j.
jority for Greeley and Brown which
will astonish the most sanguine Liber-
ais in the North. In Alabama the coll
ored voters are beginning to move in
the right direction, and the most in-
telIigent Of them are forming Greeley
clubs in spite of the rawlings of the
carpet -baggers, who threaten them
with slavery and death if they vote
the Greeley ticket. That Grant will
not get the undivided colored vote in
Alabama has already been made man
ifest.

[From them .eived in sort of
The rumor IL the sponsors of the
feeble way1de about to take down
fusion tictnd put Warmoth at the
McEnaf hile we are satisfied there is
heaIDbability of such a step being
~Mcn, knowing too we'll the difficult
ties in the way, we may admit that it
would greatly strengthen the ticket
and give it hope Of success that it
has never yet enjoyed.
Of course political parties are or
galized for victory. That is the main
desidc,utum of their information. But
it is plain, other views prevailed
when the liberal fusion ticket was
put in the field. The hybrid organi-
zation that gave birth to this remark
able political anomaly, must have
been guided more by motives of per-
sonal ambition and u selfish policy,
than political sagacity. The opposi-
ton, evidently IN the majority, were
not to be conciliated by those whom
it regarded as political enemies. The
sudden magnanimity that promised
all that the negro already had OBJ
tanned was suspicious, and barren of
any advantages to the colored race.
If his allegiance was to be diverted at
all from tile party which lie has been
in SO long it was i'll the expectation of
getting something better than he is
now enjoying, or where leaders in
whom he had confidence were put at
the head of the new. enterprise and
helped to carry it to victory. Such III
d great measure would have been the
ease had Governor Warmotl1 been ac-
cepted as the fusion candidate. His
rejection was the first and crowning
mistake of the whole movement. We
are far from saying that snch change
in the ticket would not greatly restore
its waning popularity, but the effect
can not be SO pronounced as it would
have been in the first instance, We
are. however, inclined to the idea that
if the rumor is correct, and the change
is made, the fusion movement will re-
ceive the strongest claims it has yet
had on the suffrages of the people.
We do not anticipate, however, the
ready acceptance Of this voluntary
advice. Many will suppose it interest
ed advice, but it is not. We give
the r1,mor and our reflections upon its
possibility simply in the way we
would discuss any event OF more than
ordinary Importance.

It seems the allied fusionists are by

would imply. The parochial and

ton which threaten to lead to an en-
tire dissolution Of the partnership.
The Democrats demand the privilege
of serving the country while the Lib
erals do the voting. This sort OF an
arrangement savors Of the division of
game between the white man and In
dian. They had killed a buzzard and
turkey. The white man said: " You
take the buzzard and I'll take the tur-
key, or I'll take the turkey and you
the buzzard." The Indian shook his
head: "White man never say turkey
to Indian once.;' So it is with our
friends. the Democrats and Liberals.

HoNspondent Of the Woodstock
4 sfot, writing of his voyage across
lS1le Atlantic, says: One of the feat
ures of a sci. voyage which it is very
difficult for a landsman to accustom
himself to, is the entire absence of all
news from the outside world. Accus-
toned as we are to have our daily pa
per on our table every morning. and
to glance over the news that untiring
correspondents have cleaned from
every part Of the world, II seems
Il strange deprivation to pass day after
day in entire ignorance Of whatever
is transpiring among the busy haunts
of men. There is no postoffice to go
to two or three times q day no let
ters to be received from friends and
kindred. The ships company is, for
the time being, a community apart
by itself, and it has to live as it were
in a world Of it's own. Yet even here
there are advantages to offset these
inconvenienccs. The favored specu-
lator can rest for a while, with no
gold speculations to perplex and an
nov him. We are for q season out of
the reach of the kilograms, where no
gloomy, worrying dispatches can fer
ret us ont. The letters that await us
at our journeys end are read with u
hungering delight and enjoyment such
as we do not feel at other times. With
an appetite sharpened by abstinence.
we eagerly glance over the files Of
newspapers, and we learn to appreci-
ate how much we are indebted to the
press for large share of our enjoy
ment and instruction. | have spoken
Of the social spirit which manifests
itself among the passengers. But
toward the end of the voyage one
finds that there is another aspect of
the subject under the workings Of the
same social law-we cluster into affin-
tiles OH shipboard as well as else
where. Many persons who were quite
intimate at first have very plainly got
tired of each other, and were it not
for the fact that they are cooped up
and walled in on shipboard, would
get as far away from them us possible.
+ can imagine that persons who are
not specially congenial to each other,
if thrown together in this way for two
or three months, would come to hate
and loathe each other. SO true is it
that many people are hest friends at
a distance, and that it does not do to
see much of each other.

Late advices indicate that the
African diamond fields are already
becoming exhausted, and that rise
Of from ten to twenty per cent. in the
price of diamonds has occurred there.
Hundreds are said to be leaving the
fields broken down by disappointment
and want, and many seekers have re-
turned again and again to research
the forsaken hillocks. There is one
consolation to those who may be dis
appointed in their search for gems in
our Western Territories: the land
itself is mine of wealth and if pre-
cious stones do not crop up, there are
precious metals and minerals enough
to reward both miner and capitalist.

HINTS TO PoL1TIcIANs.-Do not get
excited too soon. DO not run away
from your hearers. Engine driving
wheels wllirl fast on an icy track, but
when they draw anything they go
slower. It takes cold hammer to
bend hot iron. Heat up the people,
but keep the hammer wet and cool.
Do not scold the people. Do not re-
peat sentences, saving, " As ] said
BEFORE say something else after. DO
not end sentences or quotations with

and STOP. Leave out all words you

says:

upon her trial ut San Francisco more
than year ago, OF the murder Of Mr..
A. r. Crittenden on the 1lth Novem-
Der, 1879, her counsel acaFristl the cAse

and upon a technical point procured an
order for 8 new trial. This commenced
on Monday, and during four days only
three competent persons were found
to sit ON the jury, though about seven
hundred talesmen. had heen examined.
It is asserted that in this trial al en-
tirely distinct line of defense will be
adopted from that attempted before,
and the champions of the prisoner are
now confident that at the worst she
will only be found guilty of lman-
slaughter in the fourth decree. Emo
tional insanity in her case was not so
successful a plea as to warrant its
repetition. AT the rate of progress so
far we may calculate on jury being
obtained by the end Of the month, and
verdict may be safely expected be-

the wilfnl murder Of Emma Cripps, 2
woman with whom he had been living.
The two had agreed to commit sniclde
together, and drank three parts OF q

quantity produced vomiting in the
man. and he survived. These facts
were proven ON the trial, and the man
was convicted of numbering the wo-
