Democratic echoes and humbugging Reform

bottles tightly. Going out on the steam cars
the other day, we observed man place a
bottle of tomato catsup, neck downward, IN
the rack above his seat. Presently friend
came in, and in few moments the friend,
who was cleaning his nails with knife, ln-
troduced the subject of third term for Grant.
The discussion gradually became warm, and
as the excitement increased the man WIN the
knife gesticulated violently with the nand
containing the weapon, as he explained MS
views on the question. Meantime the cork
jolted out OF the bottle overhead, ana the
catsup dropped down over the owners head
and coat and collar without his perceiving the
fact. Directly nervous old lady on the op-
posite seat, who caught sight of the red stain,
and imagined it was blood, instantly began to
scream 'murder" at the top OF her voice. AS
the passengers, conductors, and brakemen
rushed up, she brandished her umbrella Wild
ly, and exclaimed: ARREST that man there

blood spurted out. Oh, you wretch! On,
you willinous rascal, to take human life IN
that scandaous manner, ! Zee you punch HIM
with the knife you butcher, you! and III
swear it agin you in Court too, you awda-
cious rascal" They took her into the rear
car and soothed her, while the victim wiped
the catsup off his coat But that venerable
old woman will go down to the silent grave
with the conviction that she witnessed in
those cars one of the most awful and san
culinary encounters that has occurred since
the affair between Cain and Abel.

SETTING TROUBLE TO NoTE.-A little
story is told OF Ferranti, the singer, which, II
not new, is at least good. He was singing IN
Italian, somewhere with Parepa Rosa, and,
as he came forth to take part with her IN
duet, she remarked disturbed expression on
his face. Not being able to speak to him, she
sung to the music of the opera: "What is the
matter with you, my dear friend?" he
caught the words at once, and, in the music
of his own part, responded, ooh, madam, on
my back there is terrible hole!' In tne
name of Heaven" warbed she, in response,
show came it there?' The learned audience
meanwhile were in ecstasies over what they

How TO PLAY THE PIANo.-It was a
young woman with as many white flounces
round her as the planet Saturn has rings,
that did it. She gave the music stool whirl
or two, and fufed down on it like twirl of
soap suds in hand basin. Then she pushed
up her cuffs as if she was going to fight for
the champions belt. Then she worked her
wrists and hands to timber 'em, suppose,
and spread out her fingers till they looked as
though they would pretty much cover the
keyboard, from the growing end down to
the little squeaky one. Then these two
hands of hers made jump at the keys as if
they were couple of tigers coming down up
on flock of black and white sheep, and the
piano gave great howl. as If its tail had been
trod on. Dead stop-so still you could hear
your hair growing. Then another howl, as
if the piano had two tails and you had trod
on both of 'em at once and igrand clatter
and scramble and string of jumps, up and
down, back and forward, one hand over the
other, like stampede of rats and mice more
than anything call music.-OHrer Wendell

not bring him into notice. He was practically
forgotten while yet living, and in those years
of his life when his powers should have been
most matured. 1t is said that his death result

less disappointment had much to do with it.
Thus man whose early years we're fnll of

IT Is tolerably certain that the New Hamp-
shire judges will tell Gov. Weston that he
has no right to 60 back on the returns-ad-
vice which will coincide exactly with his
ideas on the subject. The governor is said
to discoun,enance his party's fraudulent
schemes and is not disposed to give way un-
der pressure. The factis Gov. Weston is much
too good man for the New Hampshire Dem
ocrats and doubtless he will now be got rid
of as soon as possible. Honesty seems to be
fatal to Democratic politician in the Gran
ite state, but the disease is not so prevalent
that the mortality is likely to materially re-
duce the party.

Gil chamber at Augusta when the vote was
taken on the confirmation of Mr.. Llbbey for
Associate Justice, in violation of the rules. is

On that point I would give you these
hints: First, that it is not mental labor
that hurts anybody, unless the excess
be very great, but rather fretting and
fidgeting over the prospect of labor to
be gone through; so that the man who
can sccustom himself to take things

who. by keeping we'll before hand with
what he has to do, avoids undue hurry
and nervous excitement, has a great
