The Lime Kiln Club.
NOT GUILTY,

The President stated that he had in- formation to the effect that local mem- Der of the club had been seen riding a bicycle up and down Park street, and he called for the guilty party to step forward. No one obeyed. The roll was called, but with no better effect. As the names were called each owner indig- nantly repudiated the idea that he had so far forgotten his dignity as man, and when the roll was exhausted the President said
 "I guess my information was not erect. It must hev bin some cull'd man who doan' amount to muffin. I will say. howeber, dat if dar am a member of de club who feels like maxim a public exhibishun of hisself, shall be moas' happy to lend him broomstick to ride. '' ABOUT "BooMs.
 The Secretary read communication from Mt. Lebanon, la.. limiting that now was the time for the Lime Kiln Club to come to the front and "boom'' for some of the various politicians.
 "Does de honorabul President under stan de meanin' ob dat word ?" inquired the Rev. Penstock, as he drew himself up.
 Brother Gardner surveyed the speak CT with proud disdain for a minute, and then replied:
 "Do know what boom means? Sit down, Brudder Penstock, an doan' forgit as long as ye stay on airth dat I knowed all about booms afore ye was bon! Deed, sah, I was beomin' down frew de cottt n, able to do mans work, afore you had teef big huff to munch hoe-cakel A boom means to git up an dust. To step to de front door an yell. To climb to de top shelf an whoop. To swing yer hat an shout fur de perleece. To git up in de middle of de night an sing de praises of de man who has an awful achin' fur offs. Rooms Rooms ! 'Scuse ne, but dis club has no polly tishuns to fear an no candydates to favor."
 BE WHAT YOU ARE
 When the notes of the triangle gave warning of the hour for closing, Brother Gardner said My frens, de man in disguise am de chap who doan't take comfort. Be what you am, an nobody else. Doan' pucker yer moufs to make 'em look small, nor pinch yer feet to lessen de bulge. Tryin' to pull on a No. 7 kid glove ober No. 10 hand am on par wid spendin' all yer money ful bacon, an den jawin' de ole woman cause yer hevn't got taters. Oats all jist now, an we will git under our hats an impeach de meetin' fur week."

DIVIDING THE KITTEN.-A lady con- tributor tells this story had been out in Westchester county on a visit, and while there I found 8 kitten, which I bought and brought home as a plaything for my two children. To prevent any dispute about the ownership of puss, I proposed, and it was agreed, that the head of the kitten should be mine, the body should be the baby's, and Eddy, the eldest only three years-should be the sole proprietor of the long and beautiful tail. Eddy rather objected at first to this division, as putting him off with an extremely small share of the animal, but soon became reconciled to the division, and quite proud of his ownership in the graceful terminus of the kitten. One day, soon after, I heard poor puss making a dreadful moving and I called out to Eddy: "There, my son, you are hurting my part of the kit. ten heard her cry." "No I didn't, mother ; I trod on my part and your part hollered."

A Brave Woman.

A brave woman is Mrs. w. H. Hyde, of Des Moines, Iowa. In the middle of night, her husband away, she was awakened from sound sleep by 8 noise at one of the windows of her room. She got up and in the moolight could see a man trying to cut away the shutters of the blind. Immediately she went to look fer hatchet, but could find none, and obtained instead two beer bottles, one of which was full of beer. On reach- ing her room again she found the man in the act of climbing into the window. With the empty bottle she struck him on the head-but not hard enough to prevent him from renewing the effort to enter. A second blow followed with the other and heavier bottle. By greater force it descended upon his head, so that he was glad to use all his hands and legs in nasty retreat down the ladder. In the morning blood stains which he had made were found on the ladder and on the grass.

A World of Good.

One of the most popular medicines now before the American public is Hop Bitters. You see it everywhere. People take 1t with good effect. It builds them up. It is not as pleasant to the taste as some other Bitters as it is not 8 whisky drink. It is more like the old fashioned bone set tea that has done a world of good. If you don't feel just right try Hop Bitters.-Nund0 NeaUs.

IN SPITE of the sharpest rivalry, the est. Nicholas" Hotel, of New York, has retained erful hold on the public. The rates have been reduced in accordance with the times, but the standard of the hotel has been even made higher than before. A restless ambition to make this the perfection of modern hotels has kept up the rank to the highest, and no public house is more quoted at home and abroad. Table, apartments, furniture and attendance, are simyly beyond criticism.-E Eoening Post.

October is decidedly the best month
 for transplanting all deciduous trees and
 shrubs, from the 38 deg. of latitude north-and during the first week to the last, dependent on the latitude. South of 38 deg. in the United States, Novem-
 Der to the fore part of December is the
 best time. The reason why this is so, is
 because thus early in the autumn, the soil being still warm, the roots begin growing at once, and keep on all winter, except where the ground becomes fro zen some inches below them. This is 8 great advantage to the trees and shrubs thus transplanted, and enables them to take an earlier start in the spring, and make greater growth during the fol- lowing summer. It also enables them to endure drouth better, should this take place. Some may say that we can- not transplant thus early, because the leaves have not yet fallen but this may be obviated by stripping the leaves from the trees and shrubs.
 Having been misinformed by the nur- seryman, as to the full growth of lot of dwarf fruit trees, which I procured nine years ago, I set them out so close to- gether, that last year the branches be- gan to interlap, to the injury of the size of the fruit; and although these trees had grown to the height of seven to nine feet, and had nearly as great spread of limbs, I resolved to take up every other one in the rows, and transplant them for they could only die in the operation, but to let them stand so thick as they had now become, was more than death. Early in October trimmed twenty-fou1 of these trees judiciously, stripped off the leaves and transplanted them. Every one has lived and grown moderately

proof is conclusive that the Aztecs did
 not come to Mexico from Asia, as has
 long been universally believed, but that
 they were race originated in the un- submerged parts of America, as old as the Asiatics themselves, and that that country may have even been peopled from this. From the ruins recently found, the most northern of any yet dis covered, the indications of improved architecture, the work of different ages, can be traced in Q continual chain to Mexico, where they eliminate in massive and imposing structures, thus giving some proof by circumstantial evidence to Altamirano's reasoning. But now, as to the antiquity of American man as shown by the yet recent discoveries in Colorado.
 At Fremont, 0 hio, few days ago, George Unger crawled under tank full of seething hot boiling tallow, to tighten the bolt which fastened the bottom, when the bottom flew off and the whole mass of superheated tallow and steam poured upon him. The poor man was terribly scalded, the flesh coming off from his body in large pieces, and he died after six hours of the most intense suffering.
 Brazil is about to send envoys to China for supply of coolies. Slave labor is not so profitable since the late famine has considerably reduced the population in some provinces the coun- try is not suited to European emigra- tion, and unless supply of good labor can be obtained from some quarter the Brazilian revenues seem likely to fall off. It is quite probable that the Chi nese may find not only in Brazil but throughout South America the outlet they need for their surplus population.

Visiting Statesmen.

The New Orleans "Picayune" Of Nov.
|, speaks as follows Of the proposed
visit of Northern speakers to aid the
Republican campaign in Louisiana:
The visiting orators whom the radi-
Gals propose to send to Louisiana, os-
tensibly to discuss politics, really to
give opportunities for excitement and
race collisions for use as electioneering
capital next year appear to be much
needed by Judge Beattie and his forlorn
band just about these days. He needs
the services of Sherman, Blaine, Chan
dler, Conkling aud Wheeler, who are
used to all the arts by which the spirit
Of a party may be aroused to ma
lignsnt hostility. He needs help in ar
raging the colored people Of Louisiana
against their white neighbors,
employers, and fellow church
members. He requires assistance
in his efforts to make the negroes
believe that Southern white men are
all their enemies except himself and
small squad Of Office holders or offics
seekers. Alone, or even with the help
of local aspirants, he is not able to re-
awaken the spirit of 1872 he
needs the help Of orators practiced in
slsnder, skilled in working mischief,
and schooled in all the arts OF stirring
up strife and setting communities at

Trouble with Pork Packers.

The trouble between the pork pack
ers and their employees at Chicago has
broken out anew. The Workingmen's S
Union, to which about 2O00 of the 5000
men employed in the stock yards be-
long, recently resolved to demand an
advance of % cents per day for all
kinds of labor in packing houses. The
employers demurred, but on Thursday,
to finish up work on hand, they
paid the advance. Yesterday TWEEN
ty-one packers and curers, in
cluding the principal houses,
signed an agreement "to act in har-
mony, and especially to hire and
discharge men as they saw fit, regard
less of any union or associations"
Some of the packers "shut down" en-
tirely, saying they "would not pack
another hog this season if they could
not get men at tie old prices," as there
is no money in the present price Of
hogs, and an increase in expenses
would be ruinous." A few firms
threaten to remove their business from
Chicago. The presena wages OF the
werkmen range from Sl.JO to "a per
day, according to the class of work.

POLICE COURT,
Jimmy Darragh Again In Trouble
A 4UeeF Case.

James Darragh and Gus O'Donnell,
occupied seats in the dock at Police
Court last evening at the opening of fthe
hearings. Waitman s. Townsend wbo
pres!des over the interest of flour and
feed store at No. 12O Market street.
testified that both the young men came
into his store yesterday afternoon and
refused to go out when ordered to do
SO.
Darragh had picked up an iron weight
and when witness forced him out he
threw the weight back breaking a
window.
Thomas Thorpe corroborated Mr..
townsend as to the throwing, but
neither one Of the witnesses could coz
meet Gus with any Of the disorderly
conduct, other than that he was in
Jimmie's company.
James was fined s. and costs and
Gus So and costs.
Jones Kennard (colored) whose ap-
pearance and manner denote that he
is evidently not what he ought to be
mentally, was the next prisoner attend
ed to. The charge against Kennard
was very serious one, that of attempt
to commit rape.
The young lady whom Jones had as
saulted, testified that while walking
down Third street between Lombard
and Pine on Thursday evening, about
$50 the prisoner had suddenly ap-
preached her from behind and pulled
her skirt. She screamed and the man
ran away. She would not positively
swear that the prisoner was the man
but he looked very much like the one
who assaulted her.
The Squire asked the prisoner wheth-
er he wished to ask the witness any
questions.
Kenuard-pd only ask her if it was
me.
Squire--She swears it was you.
kennard-Well l guess it's no use
for me to say anything, as my word
won't be taken for anything here.
John Brunstein testified to seeing the
prisoner acting very strangely on Third
street, following every lady who passed
and peeping in windows and doors. and
also MIR. Woodward chasing him and
capturing him.
The prisoners mother, an old lady,
who was present, whose heart seemed
to bs broken, here begged the privilege
to say few words, and without wait
ing for an answer, said that the prison.
er was hunting his wife and that was
the cause of his queer actions on the
street. The Squire held Kennard in
$1,000 for court.

Fatal Election Fight.

BALTIMORE, Nov. IAN afternoon
paper says: A gentleman who arrived
here this morning by steamer from St.
Mary's county, Nd, says that a shoot
ing afray occurred at Lsonardtown, on
the night of the election, which will
probably result fatally. There was a
great deal of excitement in the town,
and a fight between the lower elements
OF the two parties was momertarily ex-
pected throughout the day.
Nothing serious, however, took place
until after dark, when the Democrats
surrounded the Republican flag pole
and threatened to pull it down. 1t is
said that Mr.. A. A. Lawrence, who bad
been elected County Commissioner on
the Republican ticket, made his way
into the crowd and warned them to keep
OH. A rush was made for the flag pole,
and, in the scramble which followed
the sharp report of pistol, Lawrence
staggered and fell, pierced in the bosom.
1t is not known who fred the shot.
Many declare that it could not have
''oS ehoh dCCluc1L duu TeluS0
point blank to credit the wild rumors
into which the affair has been shaped.
Mr.Lawrence,it is said, is very seriously
hurt but may recover.
Mr.. Lawrence, the gentleman refer
red to above, is native of Ohio, and
settled in st. Mary's county immedi-
ately after the late rebellion. He
soon became popular as a citizen
and business man and is highly re-
spected by both Democrats and Kepub-
licans. He is a Republican in politics,
and was elected to the State Senate;
was a member of that body in 1875,
and elected member Of the House of
Delegates in 1878.
Is is said the flag pole, about which
the trouble occurred, was erected dur
ing the last Presidential campaign, by
Mr.. Lawrence, who afterwards present.
ed it to the town.
