In Indiana and Ohio the Congresslon-
al Districts have been gerrymandered by
the Republicans in order TO secure large
majority OF the Congressman. That was
VIGOROUSLY the case in Indiana. The re-
suit shows that, while the Democrats car
~ the State, the Republicans carry a
majority of the Congressman. In Ohio
the gerrymsndering has not been so In
famous as in Indiana; nevertheless, it
was bad enough. In Wow of the vote
for Barnes, the Republicans should only
have bare majority of Congressman.
They have a majority of tour. They
should have but one on n fair apportion-
ment.

Lincoln Worstcd In n Horse Trade


Chicago Tribune.
When Abraham Lincoln was a lawyer
in Illinois he and the judge once got to
bsnterng one another about trading
horses, and it was agreed that the next
mornir at 8 o'clock they should make a
trade, the horses to be unseen up TO that
hour and no backing out, under for
feiture of $25 At the hour appointed
the judge came up, leading the sorrie:t-
looking specimen OF horse eyer seen IN
those parts. In few minutes Mr.. Lin
coin was seen approaching with a wood
en- saw horse upon his shoulders. Great
were the shouts and the laughter OF the
crowd and both were greatly increased
when Mr.. Lincoln, on surveying the
judges animal, set down his ssw-hoTse
and exclaimed, "Well, Judge, this is the
first time l ever got the worst OF 1t IN a
horse trade"

A MEDIUM was very badly treated in
Houston, Texas, recently. He wanted
to have his hands tied, whereupon the
county jailor stepped on the platform
and proposed to slip a pair of hand
cuffs on his wrists. The professor
declined the bracelets, and the audience
voted to ride him on a rail. Finally
they agreed to let him go, if he would
return the money. The receipts, SAG.
were disgorgsd, and a motion was
unanimously carried to give ths amount
to an orphan asylum.

BY SEE CUE.

Disasters at sea with loss of life are
now attracting much attention. A rem
sdy is wanted to prevent them. The
San Francisco Post says There is a
remedy which should be known
throughout the land. Since the CON-
mencement of steamship navigation on
the ocean, in nearly every disaster
where there was loss of life the vessel
had an odd letter in its name, and when
ever seven letters were used the disas-
ter seems to have been unusually dire
and appalling" That will do to tell the
marines. The Washoe was blown sky
high with six letters and Noah's Ark
weuthered the storm with three.
Dynamite, the explosive compound
with which Thomassen blew up the

cred series of wooden tablets bearing
the accounts of banker, Lucius Eccil-

let's are as thin a. pasteboard. and are
fastened together at one end by means
of strings passing through holes. The
inner ones are covered with wax and
are very smooth. They are filled with
accounts, which appear TO be records of
loads. Near the tablets was found
bronze bust of the banker, bearing his
name. Strange to say. he had no ac-
count with the Bank of California or
any of the bonanza mines.
A case was being tried in one of the
Arkansas courts involving the title to
large and valuable tract of land. The
plaintiffs employed an attorney from
their native wilds, but the defendants
sent north for the best legal talent OBJ
tainable. The northerners had made a
very fowery argument, which had
telling effect on the jury. The native
counsel replied, and in the course of
his argument said: Gentlemen of the
jury, the foreign attorneys for the de-
tense came here with fine speech and
graceful gesticulation. They tell you
of Demosthenes, Socrates and Canthar-
ides. but what in hell do they know
about the laws of Arkansaw?"
