The ticket put in nomination at
Lime Springs is universally conceded
one of the best ever nominated in the
county.
II. c. Marsh the candidate for
Supervisor is amply qualified for the
position and is outside the ring of poll
ticians that manage and control the
county affairs.
Geo Il. B,rst the candidate for
Clerk is one Of the most efficient men
in the county and could DO more bust
ness in one day than any man ever in
the office. Further than this, 50 well
were the republicans satisfied of this
fact that he would have had the reg
ular nomination but for two things:
one to rebnkc Howard for opposing
the RING, the other that he was in
sympathy with the people and net with
their robbers.
Hugh Price, the candidate for Re-
corder, is Welshman, is thoroughly
competent AMI is warmly commended
as worthy honorable and efficient
man by those who arc intimate with
him. He has been clerk in one Of
the stores at Lime Springs for the past
two years, though his residence we be.
lieve is in Albion.
We believe from conversations with
independent republicans from variou;
parts of the county that the people dc.
sire change in the Offices, and now
that they have ticket composed Of
the best and safest men in the county,
and Of those that will not, we believe,
be controlled by the ring that manages
everything to their own interests,
whether the people are benefited ol
not, there is no reason why they should
not unitedly work together for then
mutual interests and the public good

1t must have been an affecting sight
to have seen Mark Twain weeping at
the grave of Adam, one of his first
parents. The next thing to it is to
see Grant man shedding tears over a

such terrible laceration over a few old
newspaper sluibs, still believes them
all true.

WOMAN's HAIR DR. Benjamin God.
frey has written book on the Disease
Of the Hair" lie says that woman's
hair may grow to tho length Of six feet,
and that young lady of Massachusetts,
refused thousand dollars for her
"cranial covering, which was only one
inch short Of this measurement" Four
hundred hairs Of average thickness would
cover an inch of space The blonde has
about one hundred and forty thousand
flameuts to comb aud brush while the
red haired beauty has to be satisfied with
eighty eight thousand the brown haired
damsel may have one hundred and nine
thousand, tho black haired one hundred
and two thousand. Few laliss consider
that they carry some forty or City miles
of hair upon their head the fair haired
may even have to dress seventy miles Of
threads Of gold every morning. A Ger
man experimentalist has proven that a
single hair will suspend four ounces
without breaking, stretching under the
process and oonsrsoti"g ugain. But the
hair thus heavily weighted must be dark
brown, for the blonde breaks down under
two ounces and half. .

presided. The counsel on either side,
who are still living IN this city, for sheer
fun racked their brains to obiusticate the
veteran African by plying all manner of
questions pertaining to every other topic
but the COW. The experiment was sue
cessful, and poor befopged Van answered
as wildly as blind pusilist strikes out at

A QUEER ENGLISH CUsToM
American lady, the other day, in London,
went to church in hat, not knowing the
English prejudice concerning that article
being worn in the sanctuary. All her
friends looked ct her very gravely, aud
spoke coldly. She could not imagine
what was the matter, and asked her hus,
band if there was anything wrong about
her head. He scrutinized her, and told
her no, but still she could see that it was
the object Of attention. and that many
looked at her askance. Glad when church
was out, and not satisfied that something
was not out of place or way, she stepped
in at Attends, who had lately lived in
London, and told her of her embarrass
mcnt. "Wby," said her friend, "it is
that hat" THAT hat? What is the
matter with the hat?" said the young
wife, taking it off her head. "Ny bonnet
did not come from Paris, and the hat is
real beauty" $50 it il" was the reply,
"but it is highly improper covering TO
be worn in church, an abomination to
English women Your wearing it was a
serious misdemeanor-the veriest miss is
not allowed to wear O hat to service.
Seeing that your hat was wrong, people
supposed something wrong with you.
You can wear hat almost anywhere else,
but if you want to 20 to church in En-
gland, aud be thought respectable, you
must put on o bonnet"

Tho pioneer Methodist, Peter Cart.
wright, uttered many wise and odd and
witty sayings, He was often much au.
noysd at one sister, more noisy than
pious, who would 80 of on high key at
every opportunity. At au animated
class meeting one day she broke out
with, "If l had one more feather in the
wing Of my faith could Ay away and
bs with tho Savior"
"Stick in tho feather, q Lord | and

Cartwright.

A clever old lady, apparently just ar.
rived on train from the country, entered
one of the Refreshments rooms at the
Springfield railroad station tho other
day, and gazed eagerly about the apart
meut as though searching for something.
At last waiter inquired what she was
looking for, and she replied that she left
her paraso on the sette, and was trying
to find it, A general search commenced
and lasted for some time. Finally one Of
the walters asked the old dame when she
lett it. to which she answered, after
counting upon her fingers, "Wsll, it was
just three years ago last Fourth of July"
There was general roar, much to the
astouishment of the old lady, who went
away with very puzzled look upon her
countenance.

COMPOSITION ONTO A Hoo. A hog is
big pig, but little pig ain't big hog
There is 3 kinds of hoss--whits hogs,
black hogs aud 2 legged hogs. The con.
trairiest hog is the black hog, and the
msanest Of all hogs is the 2 legged hog.
If you want to driye q hog anywhere
you must drive 'em the contrary way
Hogs is like women 10 that respect; you
can drive 'em better by coaxing. In
other ways hogs amt like women, except
daddy says, they are never satisfied, and
slwaysa grunting. Women wear ear,
rings in their ears, hogs wear 'sm in their
nose. Daddy says that's SO they cant
nose 1t. Hogs is very useful. A hogs
head holds water. aud his tail makes a
nice whistle; but Daddy says you can't t
make a silk purse out Of hogs ear.
A hog has ten legs, two 4 legs that's
eight; aud two hind legs, that's 10.
Folks call EN- hams. Daddy likes ham
BEST he says he has had cold shoulder
SO often he's tired of it. Some hogs is
fat aud some isn't; good hog always
has n curly tail. Daddy says it is like
the Esq, to mans name, more for or,
namcnt than anything else. Daddy 3
hog was fat once, but no amt now
Daddy bad to tie knot in his tail to
keep him from crawling through the
boards of his pen, He got out once
and came back with ever so many little
hogs. Daddy SAID that was doing very
we'll, but don't believe it, else he'd le,
'em out again.
