REDIcULoUs.-Bill Hill, the
train wrecker, who was caught
in the act of obstructing the

jail. Considering the enormity
of the crime committed we think
the amount of the bond is redi-
culously small. Hill has very
bad record and is dangerous
negro.

CAN They Do IT?- 1t is a
well known and notorious fact
that money was lavishly spent
in the late canvass; it is also
equally well known that no man
will spend money unless he ex-
poets to be benefited by SO
doing. Before entering upon
the discharge of their several
duties each officer is required
to take the oath office, the con-
GLIDING portion of which is
herewith given: We ask, can
they all do it?.
And, l furthermore solemnly
swear, that l have not directly
nor indirectly paid, offered or
promised to contribute any
money, or valuable thing, or
promised any public office, OF
employment as reward for
giving or Withholding a vote at
the election at which l was
elected. So help me God.

with Miss Richmond in a lead
ing character. The plot is
highly interesting and the in
terest is maintained through
out. The music was excellent
and the singing simply superb.
Our space will not admit of a
detailed account ofthe perform
ance. Public expectation had
been wrought up toa high pitch
by the favorable reports con-
corning the excellency of the
company. All were delighted,
and should the troupe conclude
to revisit Brennan during their
stay in the State they will be
greeted by a large audience.

HIS POCKETS.
By Madge Elliot.

They had been married live years,
and she had begun to think he didn't
care for her as in days gone by.
Lis uany endearing pet names
had dwindled to "my DEAR" an
occasional darling" and a very oc
casional ''tootsey love-" He read
the morning papers at dinner. He
had gone, several times Of late, to
business without kissing her. He
ceased bringing home walnut candy,
and he had even slapped the baby !!
"And when a good-natured, even
tempered man like John Marge-
rum," thought Mrs. Margerum,
''slaps his own innocent offspring
for nothing more than throwing the
pudding and butter an the floor and
upsetting the salt-cellar into the tea
pot, there must be something decid-
edly wrong"
Could he be entbralled by the arts
and wilcs of some other woman ?
He had said the other day that the
highest type of beauty was the
blonde, and she had brown skin,
brown hair, brown eyes-no one
could have been more brunetteY.
He had joined club lately-so he
avowed-and stayed out until II
o'clock every Tuesday and Friday
evening. lie had taken to whist
ling love song and reading poetry,
and when she asked him for a SIM
pie ostrich feather Zone of those that
go all around the hat anI enough
left to fall gracefully over the
CROWN, he had grO,ole1 that he had
no money.
Circumstances looked awfully sus-
picious, and as circumstances gener-
ally, the more they were looked at
the more suspicio us they grew.
But how to find him out in his
iniquity - how gather conclusive
evidence with which to confront
him and cover him with confusion
aS with a garment.
