he returned with the change given

The grocer received 1t and was
pleased. Two days utter the stranger
returned from the curbstonc to say
"Another mistake on your part
You overpaid me by 'olty cents"
The grocer was glad to have found
an honest man, and puzzled to know
how he should have counted so far
out of the way. Three days more,
and the stranger picked up dollar
bill in the store and said
"This is not my dolla". I found it
on the floor. and yon must take charge

LITTLE MEN (By one Of TAem-.
Sclccs) 1t is a fact tn It small men are
not highly esteemed. The large man
can utter patitudcs with inpunity,
while the small one is voted bore.
The silence vi one is considered the
silence Of dignity; that Of the other,
want OF brain But it is especially in
female society that the small man feels
his deficiency Of stature. Early in
life he has discovered that tlirtations
are not for him. Women, as rule,
Ike big men. and il is an admitted,
though unfortunate fact, that little
men are proyerbially amorous Life
to him is nothing without love. Yet
he knows but too well that the lady
he takes down t. dinner would prefer
to take the arm of Il giant than that
of It pigmy, That he is II source OF
amusement to the couple following
him he knows too well aud he is
equally conscious OF the fact that she
breads the probable comments which
will be made by her bosom friend
when the hour OF dressing-gown and
slippers so Gear to ladies' hearts ar
rives. At the ball, to which he has
for weeks looked forward, hoping for
just one lance with the girl most de-
sirable in his eyes, he is refused even

uEPUBLlCAN SUPPORT.

Why is the Townes and Albright ticket
receiving the positive support of the Re-
publican papers of this senatorial dis
trict Joe. =. Robarts--a clever fellow,
by the way. and jolly companion for q
small tea party-is out strong for the
Townes and Albright ticket. Not long
ago tho festive Joseph married relative
OF General Logan. and when he gives an
active support To Democratic candidates,
you may bet your bottom dollar
there is something at stake. For inior-
nation we ask Burton. OF the Car
| bondalc Democrat, to analyze this
| crooked business. We would not dare
to insinuate That Joseph had formed al
alliance with the Townes and Albright
combination. 1t might ruin our 'politi
cal chances in the future" At Zion, IN
! Jackson county, Republican JOSEPH
made an attack on the anti-Towncs and
Albright ticket by bouncing upon Doctor
Agncw. Is he attempting to lessen tile
| power OF Doctor tgnew in Jackson
county ia the interest of TOwncs and
Albright, or in the interest Of the Repub
lean nominees We are certain that
Joseph Robarts is strong for his relative
the general, for the position OF Unit ed
States senator. lie would do nothing to
injure that gentleman's chances-in fact
he would rather lose his good right arm
| than throw a straw in the way of tho
general Let the Democratic people @
| this senatorial district scan the Republi
| can papers, aud they will see that those
journals are very earnest in their support
OF what they term the true Democratic
ticket, and bitterly opposed TO what the,
call the boilers ticket. There is some
thing so unreasonable about this attitude
OF Republican papers that we cannot hell
believing there Is something outrage
ously loose somewhere. We do not in
sinuate, we simply direct the Democrat
Of the district to the fact that JOSEPH
Robarts, editor of bitter Republican pa
per, and relative toJohn \ Logan, is II
favor OF the Towncs and Albright ticket
and opposed to the nominees OF the con-
yention of the 18th OF September, which
was held under directions of the Demo
cratic senatorial central committee.
