oSr ions MoESEnr, Of New Orleans, who
Is pleased TO describe himself as "thc legally
elected but deposed Governor Of Louisiana,"
has assumed TO telegraph in tho name Of the
people of that State greeting and congratula-
tons to the " Hon. William Allen, Governor
elect Of Ohio" This is exceedingly proper
In view Of the fact that McEnery has no other
method Of making public aluslon to his pre-
tended Govcrnorsbip, and that such men as
Steamboat BIZ are the only people who
are foolish enough TO sympathizc with HE
misfurtunCs.

lr Is EviDEST from the energetic appeals
of such papers rs the Lynchburg Republican
CDcm.) to their friends to register that the
Conservative voters Of Virginia have failed
TO take interest enough in the PENDING can.
plign to provide themselves with the ncscs-
cary certificate or recognition that they arc
voters. This is sad. When we remember
that the Slams have no principle at stake in
tho election VIC do not wonder at 1t; and
when VIC remSmbcr that the failure Of these
people to register insurcs the election Of the
Republican ticket our sadness disappears.

How Briggs Baby Was Treated.

THOMAS BRIGGS, of Detroit, has boy
baby about ten months old, who is adj
mitted at the beginning of this article to
look just like his father, and to be the
smartest baby of his age in Detroit.
Yesterday morning the child was sitting on
the floor, playing with five or six big coat
buttons on string, and taking an occa-
sional nibble at an apple to bring out his
first crop of teeth. Mrs. Briggs and a
neighbor were talking away as only wo-
men can gossip, when the baby hid the
buttons under mat and started to finish
the apple. A bit of the skin got in his
throat, and he gave a cough and whoOp
and paved the air and rolled over on his
head. "Oh, them buttonsl he has swal-
lowed them buttons," cried the mother
as she yanked him up and shook him.
Pound him on the back!" yelled the
other woman. trying to hold the baby's
legs still. run for the neighborsl'' cried
Mrs. Briggs. "Oh, he'll diel he'll die."
screamed the other, as she ran out. And
the neighbors came in and made him lay
on his stomach and cough, and then turn
ed him on his back and rubbed his stom-
ach, and logged him about all sorts of
ways until he got mad and he went to
bowling. Then the boy ran for Briggs
and Briggs ran for doctor, and the doc
tor came and choked the baby, and order
ed sweet-Oil and mustard plaster, and
h.
body knew that those six big buttons were
lodged in the baby's throat, because he
was red in the face, and because he stran-
gled as he howled and wept. They pour
ed down sweet oil and put mustard across
him, and wept over him, and his mother
said she could never forgive herself. Boys
drove by calling out: "Slab wood for
sale!" and the scissor man went by shout
ing SHARP, sharpr' but that distressed
crowd held the baby down and shed their
tears over his whole length. The doctor
was looking serious and Briggs was think
ing that he hadn't done anything to de-
serve such u blow, when one of the women
pushed the mat and discovered the but
tons Then everybody laughed and dane
ed, and they kicked the sweet-oil bottle
under the bed, threw the mustard plaster
at the doctor, and Mrs. Briggs Rugged the
bowling angel to her bosom and called
him her "wopsy topsy hopsy dropsy popsy
little cherub."-DetrOit Free Press

TOO MUCH GOLD.

Now, papa, you must tell me an ambi-
tious story, tonight"
Minnie Percy had seated herself, with
out help, on her papa's lap. He was sit
ting in Il large rocking chair, pretending
to be asleep, his hand over his eyes and
his elbow resting upon the arm OF the
chair Minnie knew well enough he was
PLAYING "possum," SO she had climbed up
and curled down for good night story:
Her father laughed out as she spoke, and
said:
IAN ambitious story. Pray tell what
kind of IA story is ihat?'
sWhy, don't you member, papas It's
n story that isn't true?'
You mean fictitious" said Mr.. Percy,
much amused.
Yes, that's it; something that didn't
happen, you KNOW" and the little girl
smoothed her rufiled white apron, put her
tiny hands in the pockets, sat about five
seconds, then asked:
Are YOU thinking, papa?"
Eyes, yes; let me see" her papa replied,
rubbing his forehead. The fact was he
had so many stories TO tell, it kept nm
busy, though Minnie liked to hear some
of them over and over.

A Bad AiIment.

Young man! A word with you'll Take
little advice from one older by a few
years than you are. We have often no.
ticed YOU You are not bad looking. In
deed some of your friends accuse you,
even, of being somewhat handsome and
talented until-oh, shall we say it?-un-
til you open your mouth. Not that you
do not speak sensibly. Indeed, you are
rather intelligent. If one hears you speak
without seeing your face, he VIII think
well of you; but he must not see your
mouth, when you are speaking, or even
smiling broadly. That spoils it all. Do
you look iuquiringly? Do you wonder
what we mean? None of your friends
wonder. They all understand the case.
The matter is this: you need tOoth-
brush and you need to use it euery dry
and several times a day, if need be. For
your teeth are in dreadful condition.
The ghosts of many departed dinners are
clinging to your incisors and grinders
Ramains of bread and cheese and vegeta-
bles have chung to your teeth and decayed
there until one could almost plant peas
next to your gums. And you allow this
foul matter to cling there day after day,
and week after week. Don't you know
this personal neglect turns people away
from you, and then you wonder why you
are neglected This foul decaying matter
Affects your breath, too. And then you
wonder why you are passed by. The la
dies avoid you, and you don't seem to I'M
derstand the cause. Your talent, your
beauty, your ability in conversation, all
go for naught, because of your neglect OF
the tooth brush Gel buy one at once,
and use it faithfully, energetically, and
constantly This picture Is drawn from
life. Reader does it mean yous-Erahs-

Nor there wasn't any quarrels, nor nothin' to re-
And the girls they all peaceful, and the boys

And the bosses they was pleasant, and reckoned

Oh, never can forget what tremble l was in

And that if l would marry, he was gettin ample
To start a little nest agoin' in a modest way,
And should be his queen, he said, and live hap
So said to him, John Andrew, will be your low

Then the days they slipped and Sided, and my
troubles was forgot,
And the evenings they were happy was suited

For John Andrew attentive, and gladdened
at his sight,
We come down together mornin's, and he me

And pain in my side, and my heart is filed

And the shop is full of bitterness and everybodys

For they seem TO think her wriggles the graces

And as long s men are bosses, there is reason to

The POWER OF 4 GREAT EXAMPLE,
There is nothing that will let the light
into the soul like personal influence; moth
ing that can lift one up out of the dark
ness, and lead one into the divine and
quickening light, and baptize one in the
spirit of faith, hope, love and charity, like
the magic power of a great example; moth
ing that can inspire exalt and purify like
the magnetic rays of healing and helping
that beam out of the eyes of noble men
and women. If your life has been deep
and broad in its experience, then you have
seen lives that were better than yours :;
lives whose pure light shown on you
from sercner hight than you could reach
and touched you and warmed you through
and through; just as the dropping flowers
some chilly morning, have looked up
through the thick fogs and caught a
glimpse of the bright sun, which scatters
the mists and opens the glad blossoms to
the warm life-giving light. Whose life is
not, sometimes, wrapped around with
fogs? Who has not looked up from his
little life world and seen no cheering sun
above him-nothing but a heavy leaden
sky hanging over? And then, perhaps
YOU have almost doubted the sun itself
doubted goodness and doubted God-un-
til you have seen the clouds break away,
the fogs lift, and doubt vanish before the
beautiful radiance of some shining exam
pie. | tell you that / believe, more and
more, that what the world needs to reform
and redeem it is, not SO much sound
theology, or a profound philosophy, but
holier, purer, diviner lives-lives that
shall be the light of men.-W. III. Spencer.

And heard the big boys crack their jokes,
And seen you laugh and heard you cheer

But did wish they would get through
Ard let me do my talking, too.

Birds i'll their little nests agYee,
And sugar candy does with me;
Grandmother says it makes me sick,
But get better very quick.

Hope you do 80, too. Good night

The champion for novelty in chicken
raising is n NJ. Cheney, of Belvidere, VT.
His improved system" consists in keep
ing two professional sitters,'' all the other
hens being trained to lay their eggs in the
two nests, the setting" going on all the
while, so that the eggs are daily mixed.
During the past season eighty eggs were

were successfully Matched. After the
Matching was well along he took off one
hen and gave her fifty chicks TO tend, the
other hen sitting two weeks longer and

Returning Home from the Country.

THE city people are going back home
this month. You can see them loading
up at the farm houses and making for the
cars. The head of the family wears a
long, linen buster and a tall, white hat
with broad black band about it. He is
mainly busy in thrustlng children in the
wagon, and running back to the house
after things his wife has forgotten. She,
poor woman, has taken a whole seat to
herself, and between expectations of the
coming season and dread of something
being spilled on her clothes, is in about
as an ecstatic state as can be imagined.
And the little olives are enjoying them
selves, too, rasping each others shins and
threatening to fall out and be crushed to
death. But they go off with The floating
of handkerchiefs and hearty good-byes of
the farmers family, who Immediately re-
tire to the house to give thanks. And
when the farmers son returns from the
depot, he takes hold of the grindstone,
and the conversation that ensues between
him and his sire while the various edged
implements are being put in shape, calls
for renewed efforts on the part of Home
Missions.-Dan6uryN ens.

AN Englishman, residing in one of the
South Sea Islands, possesses the faculty
of discerning the approach OF Il vessel a
day or two before it becomes visible, and
even of describing its shape, and whether
it is Il brig, Il schooner or Il bark. He
states that it is possible To discover ships
which, by reason of the shape of the
earth, are not perceptible by the direct
action of sight, by means of the vapors
which collect on the horizon al Il certain
height above any solid object The shape
of the little cloud thus formed enables
him to determine that of the vessel be
meath the horizon. He adds that such OBJ
servations can only be relied upon in
clear weather and when made from high
ground.
