unanimous sentiment of the meeting was
favorable to the regular ticket. This
was demonstrated when Mr.. Hill, after q

cheers for Judge Cheevers and received
no response. A second call from the
speaker elected ayell from one man on
horseback and the orator retired from
the stand in disgust. Judge Cheevers
stated to several persons at this meeting
that he wished he could find some way
to satisfy the men who were backing
him up, SO that he could withdraw from
the contest for the jadgcship.

The HaDDS seven.

Had Diogen-s lived in our day, and
could h. have visited Hardness Acad
emy, la evening, he would have i'm.
m-diately rented out his tub, showed
his lantern up the spout and felt that
the object Of his long search was al
last attained ; for the club of young
& ,ntl, men who had the affair in ch arg-
not only clearly established their claim
to the title Of "Happy Seven" but they
convinced their guests that they pos.
s 'sssed the wonderful faculty of max ing
every one about them happy. There
were about fifty couples present, and as
the gathering partook more Of the ma.
ture Of social gathering than Of a reg
ular ball, the grand march was dis
psnsed with, and about 9.45 dancing
commenced. About fifty couples were
present, and Profs. Fllinger and Ora
ham furnished the music. Refresh
ments we're served at intervals during
the night, and as the rosy streaks of
dawn began to lint the eastern sky
the well pleased guests separated, each
pledging him or herself that the buglr
call of the "Happy Seven" for their
next" would be answered with alac-
rity.

and left their cards. All of the ladies

Mrs. Senator Bruce accompanied by a

the twain who had kindly left their

conversation some few minutes and then
left. The other ladies thought the cpl

that she allowed her darkey friend to
