Slippery Sam and Tortuous Ton are the

for the Presidency. They will both slip up on

November.
The most forcible, effective ard able argu-
ment made upon the contested election case

John II. Baker, of Indiana.
Representative Blackburn, in conversat ion
with newspaper man, said recently that Zone
thing is certain, if we cannot win now, with
the sentiment of the country in our favor, the
Democratic party might as well disband and
go to the dogs" Here is another deliberate
| attempt of this man to dlspossess the devil of
his lawful property. He wants to give to the

twenty years.
Mrs. Mix's boy wanted to go into the coun-
try to spend the Sabbath, and he went. Yes
terday he returned home In a market wagon.
His health was not q particle improved. The
watch dog had chased him into the barn yard,
where bovine gentleman quickly caught him
on horn and tossed him into sty, where an
old SOW bored a hole in his pants and extract

Scientists claim that away down the groove
of ages this world will be a great spherical
shaped lump of ice. In that time, and with
such weather as this, how refreshing 1t would
be to slip up and cool the back Of ones head
on the Crystalline bosom of mother earth
How delightfully."- different 1t would be from
the present, when a man gets up in the morn
ing feeling as though he had slept all night in
ass-bottomed clothes boiler on the kitchen

The Brooklyn Argus says: "a Brooklyn
lady says she would like to vote for Hayes
because his face indicates that he is kind
father and an indulgent husband. The wish

The man whom ladies honor is a man whom
men can safely trust"

derous tongues that would have besmirched
his name and misinterpreted his motives if he
had resigned before the meeting of the Gin

longer" Blackburn is one of the most con.
spicuous ex- Confederate bushwhackers now in
Congress, and yet he seems to know more
about Mr.. Bristow's general inwardness than
all of the Republicans combined.
The Committee on the Judiciary took up the
case of Charles Hays cadetship yesterday morn,
