A Pleasant Way.

"Heis not handsome, but he has such
pleasant way that one cannot help hk-
ing him." is remark often made con-
cerning some popular man. And there
are a thousand pretty, engaging little
ways which every person may put on
without running the risk of being
deemed affected or foppish. The sweet
smile, the cordial bow, the earnest move
ment in addressing friend, the iuquir-
ing glance, the graceful attention which
is so captivating when united with self
possession, these will insure us the good
regards of even churl.

been afraid all along they would have
trouble with it over there. Some of the
words twist the wires up so that the

where it started from, making the man
who sent it think Dutch dictionary has

A severe thunder storm passed over
the city of Newport, Kentucky short
ly before six O'Clock Sunday morning.
The thunder and lightning was terrif-
ic and the rain fell in torrents for the
short time the storm lasted. Shortly
after the storm commenced, bolt of
lightning, or ball of fire, about three
inches in diameter, struck the resi-
dence of William Davis, on Front
street, two doors west of Saratoga.
The fluid passed down through the
brick wall close to the mantel-piece,
almost tearing the latter to atoms and
scattering over the floor vases and
other articles that were on the mantel-
piece. A young man named Grant
Bowers, who was sleeping on the
floor was awakened by the loud crash
and witnessed the ball of fire spinning
about the room, and in an instant dis
appear, as he thought through thedoor,
butas It left no trace through the latter,
and as there was no opening through
the fireplace, it is yet . mystery
where the fluid passed through. The
next seen of it was Oh the floor below,
where the two Misses Davis were
sleeping, but who were awakened by
tho noise on the second floor, and wit
messed the strange freak pass through
the tlue where Che stove-pipe enters,
and, after dancing about the room,
through an open VIII dow.

THERE are two parties in this State
who are in favor Of the repeal of the
Resumption law, and OF the Govern
ment exercising the power to create
whatever currency may be needed for
the transaction of the business of the
country, whether of coin or paper. OF
these parties the Democrats have
shown their faith by their works, and
have passed bills through the only
branch of Congress in which they
have power. If both these parties
work together the success of the de.
sired reform will be assured. Why
should any of the friends of the meas.
ures withhold their support from the
party that has by its acts proved its
devotion to them?
