The above is specimen sample of q:
dozen or more squibs in our contemporary,
this week, all having reference to the po-
sition of the BULLETIN in the city election.
We did take ours straight, on the square
issue of the enforceme mt of the city laws

ence between us and the Conservative
was, that it favored a crooked policy and
ticket, intended to catch both the friends
and enemies of law and order; a
sort of combination of whisky and tenn
perance, with the whisky. on top
Success and not principle was the aspira-
ton of our neighbor; and the success of
this dishonest dodge, brought about by
the most disgraccful means and mainly
through the agency of the most disreput-
able elements of our population, gives it the
most exuberant satisfaction. If i, is sat
istied with this record, We certainly are
with ours. Notwithstanding the .Conser-
ratfre's kind suggestion about coming
''out in better shape" we shall never

The Arctic Night.
rom the New York World. |

From the New York World.
DIR. Hayes gave sketch of day
and night life in the Arctic regions.
No one but those who had visited
Greenland could comprehend the
sensation of having nothing else
but daylight and at other times
nothing but darkness. The Arctic
night was difficult to be understood.
He was kept at Smiths Sound for a
long time during the day and night
of darkness, while endeavoring to
reach the North Pole. His vessel, of
only $50 tons, was nearly wrecked,
and for some time could not break
from the ice, and they had to await
the return of the suns rays. In the
place of having night in 362 parcels,
they were compelled to have theirs
all in a lump, and therefore when
daylight came they had to make the
best of it. For four months and a
half they were kept in darkness.
Men were not born to live without
daylight, DR.. Hayes concluded, no
more than they were to live alone.

The old man and woman climbed out
of the wagon and went into the At

''Shall be glad to serve you, dear

"Hold up tharr' cried the old man,

The old lady chucked the Chris

the old man under the ear, and, if he
had worn striped. stockings, about
eleven inches of them would. have
been seen between the top of his
shoes and the bottoms of his panta-

Leading a Calf.
Easton (lnd.) Press.l


He was small but muscular boy,
and the calf was probably two months
old, with development of unadul-
terated cussedness that would do
credit to a Georgia Ku-Klux Klan
Captain. There was rope between
them, and, as they went down South
Third street bets were about even as
to whether the boy was leading the
calf or the calf leading the boy. The
calf made a dash for the Central Ex-
press office. The boy pulled him
back, and he made dash for the boy,
who ran around a wagon and fell over
a watermelon pile, the proprietor
whereof swore eopiously.
"Come back here, you internal elod-
buster, and pay for this melon"
"Say, Minister; whoa-give me
my-thunderation on you-hat won't
yer?"
And the calf kicked up his heels
and b-a-a-d, and tried to run into a
store, but the boy sat back on the
line with all his strength, and sudden
ly sat down in the mud, as the calf
altered his mind and turned around
to look at him. They went quietly
ten steps, till a dog barked, when it
took four circles around the boy in as
many seconds, tying his legs up in
the line, bringing him down in the
mud again, and dragging him around
until he looked like an old hat that
had been run over by the ice-cart for
two seasons.
A philanthropic fat man went to
the boys assistance, but the calf
kicked him on the shin and butted
him in the condenser, so that he sat
down on the curbstone and tried to
die easy. Then the hoy and calf en-
tangled themselves and started down
the street like Il mail train behind
time, until the calf, soaring at some
thing, stopped suddenly, and the hoy
fell over hun and lost the rope. The
calf at once took to his heels, every |
boy in the street running after and |
at the rope, until it got
;angled in the bridge, when his con
luctor caught him by the. ear and
,ail, and lively fight took place all
lcross the bridge and out of sight,
while everybody along the street pro-
,eeded to tell how easy it is to lead a
,alf if you only go their way about it.

Domestic Diplomacy.


She was watching at the window,
AS hurried down the street,
In the simple brown merino
That fancy looks so neat,
And her smile I thought pretentious,
1t was so exceedingly sweet.
Then she met me at the threshold
With a very lovely kiss,
That recalled the early stages
OF our matrimonial bliss,
And felt at once tremor-
Was there anything amiss?
MOI The children were all quiet.
And the hearth was very bright.
And my pet-our roguish Charlie
Was quite festal i'm his white;
Yet | braced myself for something
Be that something what it might.
My chair was near the fire
And my slippers by ifs side,
My pipe was very handy
And my papers open wide,
And she wore the pretty breastpln
That gave her when bride.
The dinner was perfection
1t was lavish without waste;
The soup was vermieelli
And exactly to my taste;
While the desert was a triumph
Of artistic skill in paste.
And when the meal was over,
And the inner man at rest,
She drew her chair beside me.
With the baby on her breast,
| felt, and so l told her,
was one among the blest.
oh! the smile of tender radiance
That illumined all her face,
AS clasped her to my bosom
In lovers fond embrace
1t was then she softly whispered,
"Won't you let me have that lace!'
