Famous Fever Foe.

Frigbtful and fiendish chiils, and flushed fretful fever, found delicious Fanny Forest, while frolicking and frisking in q forsaken foggy forest. Fanny forthwith flew to her tore-fath- CTS forsaken farm house, feeling feeble, flung her faultless form fondly in her fathers faithful fortress. Fine-feath- cred fashionable Fanny fortified the feroeity of frenzied chills and fever with quinine, feryently feeling fate favored freedom from the frightful fevered tiend. Pickle quiuine freely failed. Fanny 1luently told her fate. Her heet-footcd father forthwith, for titied with filial fondness flew as a fleet footman, and faced the form and feat ures of Frank Fulsom at his fancy drug store and found Days Ague Tonic full and fresh. Fast and far was the feverish fiends flight. Fanny's features freshened, and she became fond of fash ionable fea sts and tinery.

A Cheering Prospect.

In estimating the chances of dem ocratic success in the election next November, and in the presidential election in 1880, the St. Louis Re publican calls attention to the fact, that all the returning boards, big and little, are now in democratic hands. The machinery through which the republican party has ma nipulated the returns and accom- plished its monstrous frauds, is no longer in their power, but under the control of the peoples represena
 tives, who will carry out the will of the majority. In Louisiana Florida and South Carolina, the compiling of the returns and announcement of the. vote will be done by democrats, and in the subsequent organization of the new congress the machinery will be again under democratic con trol. Of the tifty-two senators who retain their seats on March 1, 1879, twenty nine are democrats and twen- tY-three republicans, so that the democrats will have q majority of six in deciding all positions relating to contested seats among the new sena- tors. So in the house, the clerk, who will make up the roll of the for ty-six5h congress, will be democrat, and none but those he places on that roll will be recognized in the or ganlzation. It is not expected that they will misuse or abuse the power winch will thus be in their hands, but there is gratifying assurance that the republicans will now have no means of committing and enforc- ing frauds, except outright revolu- tion and rebellion agalnst the law.
