ENORMOUS INCREASE OF STATE EXPEND1-
TUREs BY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

During the time the Republican party
has been in power in this State, the expeu-
ditures of the State government for the or
binary objects of government have been
increased from $379,094, TO the enormous
sum of 81, 332, 1888. These figures are COM
piled from the appropriation bills of those
dates and other official sources. We take
the central year of the last Democratic ad-
ministratiOn (Gov. Packer and compare it
with the last of Republican rule Gov.
Hartranft), which gives the following re-

Kellogg, President Hayes Gen. Butler,
and Milton Sayler, certifying that their
back hair had been renovated to their
complete satisfaction, were published
with the circular; and all the women of
Pottstewn were for few brief days made
happy. On the next day after the dis
tribution of the circulars the two young
men, with large covered baskets called at
every house to receive orders and porta-
BILE back hair, curls &c. They gave
printed receipts for each delivery.
Their collections were simply enor-
nous. Such an amount OF hair
transferable at sight in one small burg
was never dreamed of. The young men
were obliged to return to their hotel
several times before their preliminary
work was done. 1t was estimated that
in two days they had collected over a ton
of back hair. This is simply a rough
estimate-particularly rough on the fair
sex. All the ladies of Pottstowil trusted
their hair to these enterprising Young
men, excepting a few ladies of Africa
ORIGIN.
Then ensued peculiar phase of social
life in P. For several days no ladies
appeared in the streets; there was no
done; dry-goods clerks who
part their hair in the middle to keep
their brains cool were desolate; and when
any young man ventured to call on his
female friends he was informed that they
were Engaged" or mot at home," or
"ill." A week elapsed, each succeeding
day of which was filled with a great deal
of female solicitude. This finally cul-
minated in horror, when it was found
that the brace of nice young men had
fled with seven large Saratoga trunks
filled with the glory of Pottstown and
womanhQod.
The human imagination becomes
slow coach indeed when it attempts to
depict the domestic and social woes of
the town. The poor parsons wife, when
denuded of her raiment by the ruthless
Grimes, could retire to a wardrobe and
tears; but human hair, like confidence
in life insurance companies and savings
banks, is plant of slow growth, and it
will be many months before Pottstown
will enjoy serenity and fashionable
switches.

A CONSCs WIDOW.

A poor man on his death bed made his
will. He called his wife to him and told
her of its provisions. II have left" he
sid, my horse to my parents, seDit and
hand over the money you receive. I leave
to you my dog, take good care of him, he
will serve you faithfully. The wife prom
ised to obey and in due time set out for
the neighboring market with the horse and
dog. "How much do you want for your
horse ?" inquired the farmer. II cannot
sell the horse alone, but you may have
both of them at reasonable rates. Give me
one hundred dollars for the dog and one
dollar for the horse" The farmer laughed,
but as the terms were low he willingly
accepted them. Then the worthy woman
gave the husbands parents the dollar re-
ceived for the horse and kept the hundred
dollars for herself.

CONFEDING WOMAN ROBBED OF
HER GLORY.

Every body has heard of Old Grimes
the author of his own ante-mortem elegy,
commencing:
"Old Grimes is dead, that good old man,
We ne'er shall see him more,
He used to wear long tailed coat,
All buttuned down before
Now Old Grimes, like Alas P Yorrick,
was "a mad wag," and if he didn't pour
fagon of Rhenish wine upon the head
of his grave digger, he once, on a wager,
with some of his bibulous companions
stole the robe de mutt off the back of the
parsons wife in the country village,
where he lived. This was how he won
his bet: Knowing of the absence of the
venerable parson from home, he rode up
at midnight on horseback to the bed
room window of the parsonage, and
reused the good lady against whose peace
of mind and property he had conspired
from her slumbers. He wanted to know
which house DR., johnson lived in. The
unsuspecting dame raised the window,
thrust her head out to point out the
house, when Grimes seized the flowing
robe from her person and rode away in
all the triumph of his wickedness.
A somewhat parallel case wherein many
gentle and unsuspecting women have re-
Gently been shorn of their goods and
glory, has lately transpired in Pottstown,
Pennsylvania, and very many of the fair
danes and damsels of the place been
reduced to dismay and tears no less poig-
nant than those of the parsons wife.
About the beginning of Lent two young
men made their appearance in Pottstown
and announced that they were the sole
owners of a new process for restoring bril-
liancy and softness to human hair, nc
matter what it's age and condition might
be. Printed circulars were distributed
to every house in the town, setting forth
the merits Of the process and naming 6
very low price for the magic service
Switches, curls, fronts, rats, mice and
sprays would be renovated for the trifing
charge of 10 cents each. Some items Of
service were to be rendered at even &
lower figure. The ladies were assured
that the process of renovation should bt
conducted with the utmost secresy, anc
that no lady who entrusted her capillary
wealth to their hands should be "giver
away" and that the whole thing coult
be done inside of three days. Letters

THE appropriations covered by the new
River and Harbor Bill are distributed in
manner which is likely to occasion
some dissatisfaction in the future. All
that Pacific coast extending from Puget
Sound to San Diego Bay receives no more
than West Virginia, only half as much as
Tennessee, and only one-fourth as much
as Vermont and Rhode Island 1t is pos
itively asserted that money is appropri-
ated for some streams which are too in
significant to appear on maps, and which
are destitute of water part of the year.
In fact, the charge that the bill was sim
ply designed to drop appropriations down
on certain Congressional Districts where
it would do the most good does not seem
to be unfounded. 1t is shown that about
one hundred and sixty-six districts are
directly and indirectly concerned in the
Improvements designated, and by most
mysterious coincidence the bill received
precisely 1876 votes in the House.

DR.. Eggleston's sunday-sohool, in Brook
lyn is liberal in its distribution of chromos
to newcomers. The inducement is highly
priced by the children, and some of the
other Sundayzschools in the neighborhood
are alarmed lest they shall lose all their pu-
pills. One Superintendent advocates the
distribution Of plug tops, and another is
talking of buying few barrels of marbles
These things will do for the boys while the
attraction best suited to the girls will be a
gayly Autographed fan with Scripture mot
toes upon it. With these aids to religious
instruction. there is no reason why the fis-
ing race should lapse into infdelity or
paganism.

visiting an old woman who had been for
several years assisted by the authorities,
was surprised, at his entrance, to see cats
being hurriedly pushed out of the windows
and stuffed into drawers. An officer who
accompanied the inspector declared that
the old woman constantly kept and fed no
less than twenty cats, an aspersion which
she rejected with great violence, call

that she had only fifteen. This num-

led Trecarn off, and back to his cottage,
where the poor fellow sat down beside
his weeping wife, while the two pom

Now, in most places the men would

over their troubles. But here in the
Cornish fishing villages a large percen-
tage of the men are abstainers; and Mrs.
Trecarn having brewed good tea, and
fried half dozen split mackerel, they
all sat down and made hearty meal;
while during the discussion that fol-

"Not another drop, l thanky." said
the bailif to one of Toms friends, who
stood by him, tumbler in hand, stirring
a stiff glass of grog.
1t was a fine night, though it had
been raining, and the water lay in pools
around, one of the largest being in front
of the doorstone of Pengellys store,
beside which the bailiff stood; for
though carefully locked up, the man
felt disinclination to leave it, and he
equally disliked shutting himself inside
and sleeping upon heap of nets; SO he
had treated the advances made by the
man who had protected him from Ire

they had finished one strong tumbler of
rum and water, and were well on with
the second.

the bailiff; 80 Nicholas Harris again

sip, and passed the glass once more to
the bailitf, who took it, slipped long and
well, and then sighed, while he was Oh
serving that the last draught had so
paved the way for more, that he made
no further objection even when the glass
was filled for the third and fourth times
each time the liquor being made more
potent.
At the filling of the fifth glass at
eleven o'clock, when nearly the whole
village was asleep, Nicholas Harris, who
seemed wonderfully sober, considering,
stopped, and whispered to couple of
men in one of the corners behind the
store, while in another half-houE the
