20 one can find amid strange, IN.
sympathizing faces, and manners,
dress, customs, and ideas diaerent
from those Of his fathers. But I
think that there is something more
than prejudice and mere love OF
home that make Americans prefer
their country. Else why ia it that
our na;nralized citizens, who have
spent their youth, or perhaps ear
lier manhood on this side express
the same sentiment, and as anx-
ious to return to the new world as
those Of US who have spent but a
few weeks in the old? 1t is be-
cause it is a New World, a great
and good field for a rejuyenating
humanity. If a high protective
tariff could long ago been imposed
upon some of the manners, habits,
institutions, and ideas that have
been imported from Europe we
would have had more reason to
admire the wisdom Of the foun-
ders. But our country, in spite
of importations, is SO much freer
and fresher, and aspirations so
much broader and higher that s'all

In the Wrong Buggy.

Last night two buggies stop.
ped near the Capital hotel and
two gentlemen jumped out al
most simultaneously and went
in the hotel, leaving two ladies
in their respective buggies. One
of the men came out in advance
of the other, and by the uncer-
tain light thrown from the ho-
tel, was led aside from the ac-
tual fact in the little matter of
getting in the right buggy; in
a word, Mr.. j. got in and drove
off with Mrs. F., who were as
totally unknown to each other,
SO far as acquaintanccship is
concerned, as. if one had died
ten years ago in Africa, and the
other hadn't been born. AS
married men often do, Mr.. j.
drove some distance before
speaking. Finally he remarked
"I'ye got a corn on my toe
the one you persist in putting
your foot on, too-that hurts a.
bout as bad as the common
run of things usually do" The
lady wassvery much surprised,
and rather haughtily replied.
I"Y ou'yc been trying 10 pick a
quarrel with nic all day, and
now IL make the matter more
exaspcraIing you change your
voice to an unnatural glowl."
"It's you, madam, who have
changed. My voicc'is natural.
l am not trying to assume any
thing. You scrcech like an old
gate
You are an old fool"
"Give my teeth here; you
shan't wear them another min
ute"
"Tecth! teeth! What in the
world do you mean?"
But just then,driving through
a flood of light, the parties rec
ognized that they didn't recog-
nize. 'Madam," said BIr. j.,
stopping the horse and straight
ening himself up, Il hope you
will excuse me, but I'd like to
know how you came in my
buggy, and furthermore, I'd like
IA little intelligence as regards
The whereabouts Of my wife.
What have you done with her,
maaam." ("

sir. Get ont Of my buggyI"

extent that | will be forced TO

lice" was shouted Justify, and

spot the woman insisted upon
the mans arrest. The buggy

Fighting the Bees.

Last Sunday two married ladies
living on the West Side s arted
for a drive to Northeast. When
below Harbor creek they thought
that it would be refreshing to get
drink of fresh buttermilk, and
for that purpose drove into front.

mediately set out for the house,
while the other proceeded to Sc

the animal tied when she was
startled by a hum hum-hum, md

swarm OF bees that somehow had
got their dander up and were out
for blood. The horse commenced
to rear and plunge as the tormen-

and head, and threatened TO kick
the carriage to pieces, The lady
was In about as bad a fix 0s the

No man came to her rescue aud
her companion, seeing the state OF
affairs, started to her assistance,
but was driven into the house by
the bees, who made q bee line for
her. The farmers wife came to
the door and shouted that her hus
band was not at home, and that
there wasn't man on the farm.
The woman who was out among
the bees finally united the horse
and ran him out into the road
Then stuck her hands into a con-
venient mud puddle and drowned
several bees. She was rejoined
by her companion, who had made
a circuit around the house and the
two headed for North. east. The
trouble wasn't over. A good sized
squad of bees started after the
carriage. and this we'll nigh fright

The New York Sun, whose
editor has had great experience
in public affairs, thinks there is
no pai ticuIar reason for re-elect-
ing a man to Congress because
he has been elected once. 1t
adds: "On general principles, he
may just as we'll stand aside
and let some one else 60" But
when he has been reelected
two or three times, and has
shown no especial fitness for

I couldn't do nothing at all with
him. We used to think it was
awful to do that way when | was
young; but it jist seems to me
as if everybody nowadays was
going wrong into something or
other. But may be it isn't right
for me to talk to you, Judge, in
this way; but it jist seemed to
me as if the very sight of them
keards would kill me, Judge.
Thought if you only knew how
/ felt you wouldn't play on so;
and then to think, right here
before all these young folks!
May be, Judge, you don't know
how young folks, especially
boys, look up to such as you;
and then I can't help thinking
that maybe if them as ought 10

them as arc higher larnt, and all

old lady, trembling with old age,
excitement and fear that she
was doing wrong. | can't re-
call half she said as she, poor,
lone beggared widow, stood be-
fore those noble looking men,
and pleaded the cause of the,
rising generation.
The look they bore as she
poured forth her sorrowful tale
was indscribable. TO say that
they looked like criminals at
the bar would be u faint des-
cription. [ can imagine how
they felt. The old lady tottered
to her scat, and taking her lit
tic grandchild in her lap, hid
her face on her neck. The lit
tic one stroked her grey hairs
with one hand, and said, "Don't
cry, gamma; don't cry gamma"

journey. and | can hardly be-

responded TO the Judge, who,

The milkman said he
did not know that anything was
the matter with it; but he was
frightened. Next morning he
asked the oculist to examine the
eye. The latter pronounced it
very bad, and said that in less
than six months that eye would
be blind. Tie oculist treated
him, and easily cured him, for
there was nothing the matter
with the eye. Then it was a
race between the rent and the
oculist's bill; but the ocullst
won.
