who John Noble is. He is the howl

Kentucky.
It is said that among the statutes
OF Massachusetts is an unrepealed
law which fines u young man for
walking out with his sweetheart
after slndown. Enforce such q law
here, and you would crush out
rapture enough to set up small
sized paradise.
The Washington RtpuIlictue says;
"The number of editions Of Northern

of the HGp"blicom were but half
equal to his capacity to lie, he wo;lld
be compelled to- stoop, strnding
tlat-footed, to hang his nat on the
dome Of the capitol.

street jail, sees nobody but his fun

Mrs. Tweed visits him daily and his
counsel about as often. 1t is Gus

hat privilege for fec not fixed, but
assessed according to the amount
of bail, in default of which lie is
