Jimmy sat down on the meal-bag he
was carrying, and, looking up into Toms
face, replied
"No, never said so."
"Then what did you say ?" shouted
Tom, coming up very close and looking
very black.
"Well," said Jimmy, 81 never said
nothing like that, but | did say, and /

He fell on his knees and said Any

arrived in front of the house, a loud. an
CRY voice cried out:
"Stop dat music immediately ~

THE WIDows.-Here is some society
gossip from Washington
Mrs. Robson has been in Washing
ton society, and an inmate and devoted
colleague of Mrs. Belknap. She was a
widow when she married the rotund
Robson, and some strange stories were
told about her. When Grants gang
was at the zenith Of power, Mrs. Robson,
Mrs. Belknap and Mrs. Williams ruled
society with high hand. Two Of the
triumvirate have stepped down and out,
and now the remaining one is approach
ing the jumping of place. All the devil
ment seems to be raised by the widows.
The advice of the elder Weller should be
placarded in the departments"

but replied with Ingenious frankness

GOOD FOR BROTHER JONATHAN.

II is good many years since we had
the pleasure Of discussing the currency
question with MIR. Jonathan Fincher, then
president Of the Machinists' and Black
smiths International Union, and now edi-
tor Of the Mountain (Pa.) Democrat. We
are pleased to learn that. although q sup
porter Of Tilden and Hendricks, he is al
most persuaded TO be q Christian, as the
following from recent issue of his paper,
proves. He says
We differed with many friends a. to the
propriety OF raising an issue during the late
campaign on the money question, inasmuch
as Il was impossible 20 carry their point, aud
it might affect the Presidential election.
Now is the time t. prepare programme,
| then by the time another Congressional cleo
! ton comes around the organization will be in
condition 10 do effective service.
First, demand the repeal Of the resump-
! tIon act.
Second, den and the repeal Of the national
bank law
THIRD. demand that groenbacks be made
receivable for all dents, public and private
Except where special contracts made at the
time men the negotiations were completed,
call for other paymentl
Fourth, demand that silver be remonetized
in good faith to the people.
Fifth, demand that national bank officers
or corporation attorneys, or counsel shall be
Ineligible to a seat IN either branch Of con-
gross or appointment IN the cabinet.
Tn that platform we are willing to shout
der cudgel with the people against corpo-
rations monopoiists, bankers, capitalists and
the crowd Of vultures who plumber the peo-
pie through the form Of law.
What cant the grace Of God accomplish,
friend Fincher We always prayed for
your conversion, and you know the prayer
of the righteous avaIleth much. Now,
take your greenback cudgel, and use 1t
with the same v.n you manifested when

well, Moody will have to look to his Iaur-
els to maintain his position as the cham
pion reviyal,st, in leading men from the
errors # their ways
