What is 'Tucking2"
Reno CNev.) Gazette.

A bothered looking citizen cam,
into the Gazette office yesterday
afternoon and respectfully asked t
be textbook at the dictionary. HI
sat down and rather anxiously
thumbed Webster a while.
What word are you looking
for ?" asked a reporter, seeing that
the stranger had failed to strike the
trail.
"Well," said the man in burst
of confidence, "you see I've only
been married a short time, and my
wife's gone up to Truckee on a
visit, and she's written to me to
look in the bottom of her trunk for
lot of tucking and send it to
her. Now, what I want to know is
what in blames is tucking?' 1t
amt in the dictionary"
Tucking?" said the reporter
briskly, "why, tucking is the stuff
the girls make by poking a sort of
short-turned fsh-hook through a
hole and catching the thread and
drawing it back again"
Then the editor spoke up con-
temptuously, and said that a man
who was so ignorant as that ought
to hold his tongue. What the re
porter had described was crocheting.
Everybody ought to know what
tucking was. The ladies in making
it used a little Continuance shaped
like a mussel, with thread wound up
inside of it. Tucking could be pur-
chased, he believed, for 10 or Is
cents yard, and why intelligent
girls should waste a whole day in
making what they could get for a
short bit was more than he could
understand. In answer to a guess
ton from the admiring reporter, the
editor said he had been told that
tucking was used in trimming the
under garments of the fair sex, but
why things should be orEamented
which a fellow would get licked for
trying to look at-or perhaps shot
was beyond his comprehension.
The married stranger said the ed
itor was mistaken: that the article
he mentioned was not tucking-it
was tatting. This he knew for a
fact. The editor observed that when
a man came to the Gazette Office for
information the editor, when he gave
it, didn't like to be told he lied.
If the stranger wanted to avoid
trouble he had better get and 60
to the devil. As the editor had
grown red in the face and his eyes
were blazing the married stranger
cOughed feebly and skunk down
stairs.
In the mean time, what as "tuck-
ing?"

ages of Pensions act, passed by the
last Congress, apply to persons who
have obtained pensions by virtue of
a special act of Congress, and not

ANswER-They do not. A per-
son who draws a pension by virtue
of a special act of Congress, is en-
titled to no benefits under the
Arrearages of Pensions act. An
amendment was offered in the House
and passed, providing that special
act pensioners should receive the

DEMOCRATIC CONSISTENCY.

Two brothers, Bob and Jim, get
into q quarrel. Jim swears that be
can whip ten Bobs, AMI they have
a fight. Jim gets licked, but his
wrath continues at a white heat,
and he goes off to swear, pout and
kick somebody's poor dog that
comes in his way. After effer.
vescing for a period, in a harmless
way, he becomes solid" as it
were, and presenting himself to his
victorious brother in this solicited
state, says: "Bob, I'm willing to
forgive yon and make this thing mp,
but demand one condition: you
must not become "solid."
This illustrates the present polit-
zeal situation. The South bIus-
tered and badgered their North
ern brethren in every possible
way to provoke a conflict. They
said, "You dare not fight Us, for
you know that one Southern man
can whip ten Yankees, anyhow"
They said the Yankees were COW.
ards, that they cared for nothing
but to make money, and that they
would suffer themselves to be
cursed, cuffed and kicked without
resenting it. But our Brother iona
than SCOT his back up" at last, and
he licked US to our hearts content.
We cried enough, when we couldn't
help ourselves, and he, too brave
and generous to kick a man when
he is down, ceased his blows and
babe US go in peace. But we went
of and began to pOut, say hard
things about our big brother who
had whipped US, and to kick the
poor negroes who were in no way
responsible for our troubles.
At last We make up our minds to
get even by solidJying. Now, we
are a ''Solid South" saying to our
brethren at the North owe are
willing to forgive you for the chas>
tisement you gave US, upon condi-
ton you do not become solid.
That is prerOgative we reserve to
ourselves, and you can not become
solid without expressing US and rob-
bling US of our rights That is the
attitude in which we stand to-day.
1t is all right and proper for the
South to become solid, but a solid
North is a wicked monstrosity. In
the South, according to the evidence
of some of the Democratic Con-
gressmen who have been heard
from of late, no respectable white |
man can be a Republican, |
but it is quite shocking to
the nerves Of a Southern Democrat
to see evidences at the North of a
concentration against State Rights,
Bourbon, Solid South Democracy.
The consistency of our Demo
cratic friends is made apparent in
smother direction. When the lead |
ers of the majority were insisting
upon lacking on the political meas
lres as riders to the Appropriation
bills, intending thereby to force the
President to sign them, and when
their partisan purposes were ex-
posed they looked pious and said !

tie medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill a day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are SO composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-cOating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
