following pen-portrait of "Uncle jim

date for Governor of Indiana. lie says :
An incident in the House the other
day was the meeting Of "Uncle Jimmy"
Williams and Minister Godlove Orth, of
Austria, the two opposing candidates
for the Governorship Of Indiana. They
are old acquaintance, and met in the
cloak-room. "Uncle Jimmy" shook
hands cordially with his opponent, and
drew him to a seat beside his own, and
there they sat, talking for an hour or
more. "Uncle Jimmy" is as much of
a curiosity in the House as we have had
here, and his long, gaunt, irregular
form is always pointed out to visitors.

teristics ofSthat imaginary class who is

and then they started. Adam took the
shortest way by cutting across farms;
Eve kept the main thoroughfare. We
did not witness the race, consequently
we can not say how they stepped, but
the result was in favor of the woman,
who had a plain, well-beaten track;
while the man-thinking to be the gain

account of the soaky condition of the
