The Oregon Republicans were re-

A Horrible Plot.

For several days past, says the Mem
phis appeal, there has been loaing
around Covington, up in Upton Coun-
ty, man named J. II. Goat, said to be
a street car driver of this city, and
son-in-law of Mr.. Manlius Carr, OF that
vicinity. On Saturday evening last,
Mr.. Goat managed to ingratiate HIM
self into the confidence of Willard Dob
son, a young man OF some 10 or 70
summers, from the vicinity Of Garland,
and who, from too frequent indul-
gence in bad whisky, had rendered
himself incapable of self-preservation.
This human fend took the young man
in charge and proposed to carry him
home, but, instead of taking the road
toward Garland, went up the railroad
track q few hundred yards, and then,
after robbing him OF what little change
he had with him, and stripping him OF
an almost new coat and vest, placed
the unconscious form of the boy on the
track, and left him helpless victim
to destruction by the evening train,
lue in a few moments. At this point
is located the water-tsnk of the railroad,
and near there lives Mr.. Anderson, the
blind attendant of the tank, and his
wife. A moment or two before the ar
rival of the train Mrs. Anderson
CHANGED to discover the situation of the
young man, and with he assistance OF
lady neighbor, who was visiting her
that night, rushed forth in the darkness
of the night and dragged the body from
the track Just as the train came thun-
dering by. Goat is a man about -
years of age, feet II or y inches IN
height. A full description of him and
his schemes, however, has been for
warded to the police authorities here
BY Mr.. Roberts, the officer at Covlng-
ton, and his arrest can not fail to toI-
low soon.

WIT AND WISDOM.


THE clear, crisp, star-lit winter
nights are near at hand, when the love
smitten country swain bitches his horses
to the sleigh and drives IL miles to get
his nose frozen, and discovers that his
girl has gone off to party with some
other fellow.
HERE is another case of retributive
justice. A clergyman in neighboring
town married a runaway couple, and
the same night he was overtaken by a
donation party, and had nothing in the
house to eat next day save beans and
potatoes -NorriStOSon Herald.
PARLIAMENT at its last session cut
down Queen Victoria's allowance to
Ss,270 per day, and now the poor old
girl spends hours sitting with fashion
magazine in her lap, and holding an
old dress in each hand, wondering how
she can contrive to make one new one
out of the two. Heaven help the poor.

A LOCOMOTIVE engineer who had just
been discharged for some cause gave
vent to his spite, eminently character
istic of American humor. He said it
was about time he left the company,
anyhow, for the sake of his life, for
''there was nothing left of the old
track but two streaks of rust and the
right of way"
THE custom among elderly gentle
men of making a common carrier of
their plug hats has become so common
that the spectacle of respectable elder
in church with a red silk handkerchief,
two letters, postal card, and a corner
of plug tobacco on his head no longer
raises the ghost of smile in the con-
gregation Washington Nation.
THE logic of childhood is sometimes
irresistible. A promising youth of on
ly seven summers, who bad been ac-
cused of not always telling the truth,
cross-examined his father. Father,
did you use to lie when you were q
boy?" "No, my son." said the pa
ternal, who evidently did not recall the
past with any distinctness. Nor
mother, either?" persisted the young
lawyer. "NO; but why?" "Oh, be-
cause don't see how two people who
never told a lie could have a boy that
tells as many as [ do" The problem
has never been solved. There is a mis-
take somewhere, and the chances are
that it was not made by the boy.
