TAFFY AND SUCH.
Respects of the Outside Barbarian to
sSThe Ohio Man."

[Pittsburg Telegraphl
Ten thousand people gathered in a
Missouri town yesterday TO see an Ohio
man hanged, thus forcibly illustrating
an universal desire.
[Chicago Timcs.l
When Adam was bounced what was
the name of the Ohio man who took his
place?
Cincinnati has a society for the pro-
motion of marriages. 1t ought to have
one for the promotion of the permancDcy
of marriages.

who is a student Poughkeepsie, N. Y,
although but twentv-three years old,
weighs 359 pounds. His mother weighs
800 pounds, and his brother, who is only

He has an ordinary appetite. He
weighed but six and one-half pounds at
birth, and did not begin to grow fat un-
til he was three years old He gets all
his proclivity to fatness from his mother,
as his father weighs only 1856 pounds
During most Of his life he has worked
hard on farm.
baltimore Gazette.l
The ladies of Cincinnati have started
a movement to compel the factories TO
use smoke consumers. 1t is surprising
that they don't offer up their husbands
or their brothers.
[ChicagoInter ocean.l
Gen. Sam. Gary and Dom Piatt are
hitched at opposite ends of the Green
back wagon in Ohio. Both are "horny-
handed" and both are full of wind; and
as the wagon moves backward and for
ward over the State, "my fellOw-coun-
trymen," there will be noise.
The Ohio editors, who have been for
couple of weeks journeying through the
West, are working homeward in small
squads. Since they left Ohio the Demo-
cratic Tramp Law went into effect, and
they do not care to excite the vigilant
officials of the State by entering its
sacred borders as they left it--in body.
You see, that law requires fellow to
carry some evidence about his person
that in case of emergency he could pay
for square meal. The nter-Ocean,
having assisted in smuggling a goodly
number safely over the border within
reach of friends, is no longer commanded
to silence. They were a good set Of fell
lows and an honor to Ohio, but they
were out a good while, and the best Of
lis are liable to financial pressure.
New Orleans Democrat.l
Cincinnati is Il smoky city, but it will
soon cease to be- The ladies of the
Queen City have just organized "a smoke
consuming association" and will endeav-
or to secure clear skies for "the Paris of
America" 1t is not known exactly how
they intend going about the matter, but
it is thought that every lady member of
the association will take a pledge never
to kiss, love or marry any man whose
chimney smokes. That will fetch them.
