and fellow-6tixen. John Courtney, Esq,
can be seer leisurly driving through our

Such limping. Jumping, ETC., until the
vehicle is reached. Simultaneous in
terrogations are propounded, of which the

prices suit, and the newly coined sill

purchasers return to their respective

The advocates of Messrs. Tilden and
Hendricks are keeping themselves very
tacit at present. Demonstrations they
say, are perfectly useless, IS Uncle Sam
uel and brother Thomas will most as
suredly be elected. Maryland will give
them at the lowest calculation twenty
five thousand majority, consequently
the forming Of elabs is nonsense. The
leading republicans are doing nothing Of
importance. They are perfectly indiE-
ferent, so it seems, as regards TO their
candidates. We do not understand their
lukewarmness, unless It is because Gen.
Hayes succeeded in getting the nomi-
nation in lieu of James G. Blaine. There
is no time to be idle, gentlemen, for the
Greeks are at your doors. Once they
enter, and you may well afford to des-
pair Of ever seeing them egress with sat
isfaction. -
Our widowers and bachelors are NOV
ing about briskly just now. Those who
are fortunate enough to possess convey
ances in the shape of buggies, are hav-
ing delightful time attending infantile
funerals, and driving the blonde and
brunette Hebes up and down the high
ways in order to give them an earring"
Success TO them, and when they at
Hymen's shrine pledge their sacred
words to be faithful and true to each
other, may they fulfill the same with
the spirit Of perfect reciprocity. Our
old friend in St. Jerome's was we'll the
last time We heard from him. He is
perfectly sanguine of success this Fall.
OF course time will prove, and in the
meantime, We hope to be
