A Mystery.

Yesterday forenoon an old lady and her
daughter drove into the city on the Gra-
tiot road in one-horse wagon, and the
horse was secured in an alley near the
lower park on Randolph street, while the
woman went off in search of dry goods
store. Some boys wandered through the
alley, saw the chance for joke, and one
Of them borrowed wrench, others got a
pry, aud in about FIVE minutes they had
placed the hind wheels of the vehicle
where the fore wheels had been in the
habit of running. BY and by the woman
and her daughter returned, united the
horse, led him out, and the mother looked
at the vehicle and remarked: "Scems as
! il this blamed old horse lad been kicking
in the dashboard" "Pile in mother
called the girl, as she tied the halter but
the mother couldn't. The pitch wns 40
great that the seat slanted skvward, rnd
the woman got off the hub, walked around
the wagon and said: "Pll bet onions chat
| this horse is hitched to the wrong end oi
the wagon" They were in great puzzle
when boy came along, saw the true state
OF affairs, and he leaned up against a stone
| wall and laughe ed till the tears came.

THE SITUATION!

Since noon Wednesday, the scales have
been trembling on the balance, with little
Florida holding the balance OF power to
tip them one way or the other. This has
kept both parties on tho ragged edge"
and every spark OF news that flashed over
the wires was sought uftcr with relish
that was refreshing to witness. From the
flcts CLEANED from column after column Of
news from the several parts of tho country,
both parties settled down to the conviction
that the situation stood Ms follows, with
