All women play cards alike. Watch

HE HAD EN- AGAIN.


Sniffies brought his two weeks
spree to a close on Saturday night.
He lay on a lounge in the parlor,
feeling as mean as sour lager, when
something in the corner of the room
a attracted his attention. Raising, on
his elbow he gazed steadily at it.
Rubbing his eyes he started again,
and as he started his terror grew.
Calling his wife he asked hoarsely:
miranda, what is that?"
"What Is what, Likey?"
Snifies's name was Lycurgus, and
his wife calls him Likely for short and
sweet.
"Why, that-that-thing in the
corner" said the frightened man,
pointing-at it with a hand shaking
like a politician.
''Likey, dear, 1 see nothing" re-
pilcQ the woman.
"What! you don't see it?'' he
shrieked.
NO"
Then I've got 'em. Oh, hea-
vens! bring me the Bible, Miranda
bring it quick! Here-here, on this
sacred book / swear never to drink q
drop of whiskey. If Ibreak my vow,
may my right hand cleave to the ROOF
of my mouth, and"
Here, catching another glimpse Of
the terrible object, he clutched his
wife and begged in piteous tones:
/ Don't leave me; don't leave YOU
Likely" And burying his face il
the folds OF her dress, he sobbed ant
moaned himself into a troubled sleep
Then his wife stole gently to the
corner, picked up the toy snake arc
threw it into the stove.

TIMES.

The elections of 1877 over, TO con-
gress will all eyes turn to witness the
course of political events in America.
Questions of vital interest are press
ing for settlement, n the discussion
bids fair to be prolonged ana aosore-
ing. The subjects of finance, pacln,
cation, internal Improvements, ciFli
service reform, Indian and Mexican
border troubles, &c, are among those
which must largely occupy the publlc
mind. The proper development OF
the of The West and South,
by means of an improved condition
of river and railroad transportation
tacilities-the utilization OF uneni-
ployed labor in needed public WORKS
the encouragement of immigration
to the fertile lands of the great
West. are matters of nation, as well
rs of local concern. Scarcely less inn
portant is the support of all meas
ures, by Whonlsoever originated, ald-
ed "r indOrsed, giving to the south
ern states Il full and free control OF
their WI atfairs-the only policy
leading to permanent peace. The
state legislatures. especially o TO
elect Urited States senator's, will also
be invested with interest, as upon
them and the elections Of 1878 Will
devOive the decision us 10 whether
the reins of political power shall con-
;inue to be held by the Republican
party, the tenure Of that power now
hanging by but Il slender thread.
Upon these and kindred subjects
| the Republican, which gives an earn
est advocacy to the principles o. the
constitutional Democracy,Will ALWAYS
be found battling in the ranks OF the
thinking, working people of the West
and South. And whilst sparing no
effort to obtain and pTomulgate the
most reliable Information relative TO
American politics, the Republican
will maintain its past reputation for
the collection of all important and
interesting news from all quarters of
the globe. Affairs i'll the Eastern
hemisphere, now occupying so much
attention. will not be omitted in the

Eureka Republican: We cannot but
wonder at the workingmen of any por-
ton OF California should acknowledge as
leader such a brsying ass as Kearney,
and one withal so utterly devoid of sense
90 we'll as decency. Their movement
will never become popular or successful
as long as he is allowed to disgust think
ing men with his outrageous nonsense.
he made speech in San Jose lately,
during which he suddenly stopped, threw
up bis hands exclaiming: "God Almighty
is with us-another Assemblyman dead
from Amador county," He remarked
that it would be "a grand thing for the
country if every vino, hell-hound thief
in Sacramento died before morning"
And it is thus that this self-constituted
and half-acknowledged, half-deposed
leader of the laboring classes blasphsmes
his Maker, insults common decency and
outrages every sense of humanity. We
claim to be a workingman ourselves,
but no party owning allegiance to such
leader can ever enroll our name among
its members or secure voice or vote fol
its candidates.

1.-THE DOLLAR OF OUR FATHERS,

by PHILLIPS THOMPSON.
Give us the silver dollar.
Hard and clear as bell,
Sounding the peoples triumph
And ringing the Shylock's knell!
A fig for"public opinionl"
IT'S bought by the money kings;
The press is too oft the opinion
OF rascally Wall street rings.
They threaten distress and ruin
Should silver its place resume;
or terrible mischief brewing,
Portending the crack of doom.
They lie, and they know they're lying,
For gold keeps coming down,
In spite of the usurers' trying
To friShten us with their frown.
To our neck there clings no collar,
We're neither bribed nor sold;
Hurrah for the silver dollar.
By law on par with gold.
Then give us the silver dollar,
The coin that our fathers knew;
Twas good enough in the good old days,
It's good for the present, too.
Yes, give US the silver dollar,
That none may dare refuse;
If it's good enough for the people,
It's good for the Wall street Jews.

Dermott, informs him that after ten days
search for Bart-the brother of j. T.,

up the task as hopeless, the snow, as he
expresses it, being fearfully deep. and
asks what he shall do. In response to
the appeal Mr.. McDermott took the
stage for Tuscarora this morning.
