Meeting John Q. Pendletop last evening,
an INrELLIeES0RR man hailed him With
the query:
"What do yor think about IT."
SWELL" was the frank admission, ~ am

The reporter didn't doubt 1t, and sug-
gested that perhaps Mr.. Pendleton's friend,
Sheriff Tingle, was also somewhat as,
tonished.
"oh, yes," said Pendleton, ''but on the
whole he takes 1t very easy"

A PLEASANT ExcuRsIoS.-There are lew

the genial proprietor placed the Park,
with all its attractive entertainments, at
the disposal Of the crowd. A pair OF rifle
teams were organized, the reporters OF
each paper forming one. Three matches
were shot, and the INTEIIIoRSCIR men, as
usual, got away with their Democratic

POETRY.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU
SAY.
In speaking of persons faults
Pray don't forget your owns
Remainder those in houses glass.
Should never throw a stone.
If have nothing else to do,
But talk of those who sin,
IT'S better we commence at home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge man,
Until he's fairly tried;
Shocid we not like his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults-who has not /!
The old as we'll as young;
We may perhaps for al we know,
Have fifty to their one.
III tell you of a better plan,
And fad it works full well;
To try my own defects to cure,
Before of others tell;
And though 1 sometime hope to be
No worse than some | know,
NV own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of others go.
Then Ter us ali, when we commence
TO SANDER friend or foe,
~Think of the harm one word may do
To those we little know;
Remember curses sometimes, like
Our chickens, "roost at home"
Don't speak of others faults until
We have none Of our own.

The extreme reluctance with which
our Republican friends approach the
subject OF The recent election in M.ine:
and the painful squiruing rssorted to
by the woaseed patriots to vriggle ont
from beneath the pondsrous pos, II II
which sat down upon 'em, partnk.s
largely OF the irdscrou5.
The most poptlar saive for their
political wounds ye. compounded intks
EepubIican iabara,ory. Is tha. the
thrasfing they received in Maine was
not administered 10y the Democrats. and
camfort themselves with tho rehectiot

all the boastinS Of Mr.. Blaine and the
other party leaders OF the State: that
they woull sweep the entire field with q
seyeu to ten thousand majority broom:
oTer the entire inclosure lays sire wn the
fngments of their broken columns, and
the few s.alwatis rescued. were saved

been constantly claimed by the Republi-
can ienIers that the EFFORT ON the part Of
the Democrats, to prevent the capture of
the State Government; by force last year;
had SO incensed all the righteous peo-
pie OF that land, the annihilation of
TINT ungodly party in the Pine Treo
State would be swift aud complete. Has
that prediction been verifed' When
Mr. Blaine discovered that tidal

ble Democrats he nt once recognized
the nioral obliquity of the position into

to know that tie boasted Rapublican
majority had not responded to his CALI
