WHAT DAY Y

The following story is told Of Meth
odist mipister named T. S. Day, who
received an appointment on circuit in a
Western State.
On the first Sunday morning, he start
ed from his domicil to the meeting
house, half mile distant. The minis
ter observed several boys playing in and
about pond Of water, bathing, making
mud pies," and indulging in divers
other things incident to the recklessness
of youth.
He advanced slowly towards the
crowd, and addressing an intelligent
looking boy, bright as a prarie flower,
said
"Come here, my son."
The boy stepped up to him, and the
others collected around.
"Do you know" said the minister,
"what day this is ?"
"Oh, yes |" they all shouted, "it is
Mr.. Day, our new Methodist minister"

HUMOROUS.
A PRACTICAL JOKE.

Joe Skinner was one of the greatest
jskers in Oil City, and one Of his tricks
came near bringing on riot one day.
Joe was walking down Seneca street,
when suddenly he stopped and began
poking in the mud with his cane, al
the same time allowing his other hand
to slide over his shirt bosom as II in
quest OF something which was there
His movements quickly attracted the
attention Of bootblack, who ran up
and asked:
Lost suthin', mister ?" and began
looking about. re
Then came merchant and two clerks
out Of the store and began looking up
and down the walk. A teamster jumped
of his wagon and joined in. A barber
remarked .l...
"Was it your diamond pin, Joe :"
and this was caught up and echoed
among the crowd which had gathered,
until the story grew that diamond
pin worth 81, had been lost. The
crowd extended until 1t filed both sides
Of the street, and all manner of sugges.
tions we're made. One man proposed
to shovel up all the dirt and mud and
have IT carefully looked over. Another
man said the sidewalk ought to be torn
up. A man crowded into place and
trod on the toes Of smother man, who
gave him push. A blow followed and
q fight took place, and in two minutes
the police were hauling man of to
the lock up, while Joe got outside the
crowd and laughed at his awful
hoax until the tears ran down his
cheeks. The search continued for two
hours. s..-.--

When it came home the other day she

paper, so far from favoring the suspen-
sion of coining the silver dollar says the
recommendation of the President and
Secretary of the Treasury to do this
"will no! be likely to meet with favor
either in Congress or the country. 1t is
certainly very singular idea, that with
paper circulation of nearly or quite
700,0O0,000 dollars, we have too mucL
coin in the country with which to secure
its redemption when we have all toll
less than half the amount in coin."
I'VE have less coin now than England
France or Germany, and not half enough
to secure the redemption of our paper cur
rency if it were presented for paymen'
True, 1t Is not likely to be SO presented
butlt Is the part of wisdom to be ready fol-
such an emergency. This idea of suspend
ing the coinage of silver originates with
the interests that secured It's demonetiza

THE politicians are, 1t is said, about
to try to make Indiana Republican by
negro emigration from the Southern
States. This may prove disastrous to
those who undertake it. The people of
Indiana may be as unwilling to be
placed under negro rule as the people OF
Delaware and Maryland were and for
every car load of negro vo'ers that is
forwarded to increase the Republican
vote of Indiana, twice that number OF
votes may be driven over TO the Demo-
cratic side, or white mans party in that
State.
When the negroes were forced to the
polls In Delaware and Maryland to give
the political influence of these States 10
the New England policy and make the
negro the equal of the resident white
man, and the servant of the absent New
England politician, the two parties hat
been very equally divided for man,
years, and the Democrats had alway,
gone into the election with great doubts
Is to the result.
The addition, therefore, Of fire thou
sand voters to The Republican party Il

by its leaders would give them the Sta

and the appeal was answered at Il
