SHOW YOUR SINCERITY.

You, GreeDbackers, started into the campaign
with loud professions of honesty and reform.
1t was part of your mission, you declared, to
to expose and punish corrupt and unscrupu-
lous politicians. You now have the opportunity
to fulfil this pledge. An attempt has been
made to sell out part of your ticket by base
forgery. Now let's see if you will keep your
promise and expose and punish its authors.

A SWEEPING CHALLENGE. Reagan, the oars
man, is out in the Sunday Globe in q sweeping
challenge to M. f. Davis. He will pull
three, four or five mile race for $1,000 side at
Sebago Lake if allowed $500 for expenses. If
Davis prefers to pull in Massachusetts, he will
allow Davis $500 for expenses. He also pro-
poses to pull in Portsmouth for the same dis
lance and purse, each man to pay his own ex-
penses. He names several other challenges, all
for $1,000 side, ard intmates very strongly
that Mr.. Kennedy can be accommodated with
series of races if he wishes to indulge. The
challenge reads as though it meant business.

BEECHER's CALIFORNIA Tour
Thomas Mcguire, manager of Baldwin's
Theater, San Francisco, has been in the
city a week, engaging attractions for
his establishment. One of his ideas was
to hire Henry Ward Beecher to deliver
ten lectures in cities west of the Rocky
Mountains, and soon after his arrival
here he made visit to the Plymouth
pastors residence. Beecher said in re-
sponse TO the proposal that he had no
time for the trip, which would necessa-
rily occupy about a month. Mcguire
desired that he should 20 in July or
August, but Beecher said that be had
just completed a summer house In Peek
skill, and that no money would tempt
him away from IL until compelled by
fear OF hay fever in September to go to
the mountains. Mcguire then offered
81 900 each for ten lectures in the fall,
and Beecher said he would accept it if
his expenses were also paid. a contract
has been signed on the basis of SO, 600
for ten nights, with 1000 extra for ex-
penses. Beecher will probably go about
the middle Of September cutting short
his stay at the White Mountains, aud
delaying his return to Plymouth pulpit.
Probably three Of these lectures will be
given in San Francisco, two in Sacra-
mento, one in Virginia City, aud two in
Salt Lake. Mcguire thinks the curiOs-
ity to see Beecher will insure large
audiences. The admission fee is to be

A Practical idea.

W hlie trying to find suitable "bOard-
ing place. Tor a friend of mine, a few
weeks ago, was surprised at the gen
eral unwillinguess of Iaudladies to re-
eeive a lady as member of their house
bold, especially if that lady happens to
be a widow.
"Gents"-whatever that NAV he
married couples" and young men 6vho
have good appetites, and are not so par
tieular about what they get to eat.u
seemed to be the only desirable boarders
"HOu see it pays me better to have
two in one room, aud 1 couldn't give a
double room to a lady alone, unless she
paid full price, which, of course, she
wouldn't like to do; and yet she would
want a nice room, large enough to swing
a cat in," picturesquely explained a
plump, good-natured lady.
As / am afraid Of cats, I have never
tried to "swing" one, but I have no
doubt that it is a bracing, exhilarating
exercise, for the very thought restored
my cheerfulness and gave me bright
idea.
Why, instead of swinging strange
cats in bOarding-hOuses where they are
not wanted, and where they do not
want to be, why should not single ladies
and "widow women ladies club to-
gether and swing their own cats in their
own house?
Seriously, and leaving the cats out Of
the question, / think il would be "A
pleasant, economical arrangement; and
would like to write about it talk-fash-
ion, because then one does not so much
feel the sinfulness of using the same
word several times.
Well, then, suppose that six or seven
ladies should rent good, plain house in
a good location at forty dollars per
month. For that price they would have,
besides kitchen, dining-rOOm, and two
parlOrs, four moderately large bedrooms,
and three or four small ones, which
would give one room to each, one for
the "help,n and one for friends. The
rent for rooms would be according to
size and location, and each lady would
furnish her own room. The other ex-
penses for food, light, wages, ETC., would
be equally divided, and all bills paid at
the end Of the month.
Arrangements for furnishing the par
lor aud sitting-rOOm could be made to
"suit all parties" and purses, and would
be quite an interesting subject Of con-
versatiOn. Elegant furniture is very
nice to look at, but one can be delight
fully happy without it, aud a great deal
can be accomplished by taste and in
genuity.
OF course, all this would cost quite a
little fortune at first, but in the end it
would be less expensive than boarding.
house life, and infinitely more comfort
able and hOme-like.
It seems to me that it would be pleas

house, and at least two decidedly
