Not Much Of q Loss.

Young men should, when conversing
with young ladies, use expressions FREQ
from ambiguity, else the experience Of
Cleveland clerk may be theirs.
A young lady went to drug -store
and had prescription made up.
How much2" inquired the lady.
Fifty cents" said the clerk.
But have only As cents with me-"
replied the customer. Cant you LET
me have it for that?"
"No, ma'am," said the clerk "but
you can pay me the 5 cents when you
come in again"
But suppose I were to dies" said the
lady, joeularly.
"Well, it wouldn't be very great
loss," was the smiling response.
And Immediately the smiling clerk
gathered, from the indignant fash on
the lady's face, that he had been misun-
derstood, and before he could assure
her that it was the little balance and not
she that would be no great loss, she had
bounced out at go-as-you-please gait,
and was beyond the sound Of his voice.

Why Quaeks Succeed.


Any explanation of the success Of
quackery would be insufficient if it did
not include the fact expressed in the fol-
lowing lines:
You'll ne'er convince fool, himself is 90;
He hates realities, and hugs the cheat,
And still the only pleasures the deceit.
( An invalid, whose disease had been
pronounced incurable, intrusted his case
to quack. 1t was his Last resort. The
quack promised that if he would submit
to his treatment for six months he
would make well man of him but no
change must be looked for until the ex-
piration of that period. A friend, seeing
that the invalid was paying out money
and receiving no benefit, expostulated.
"For mercy's sake I" exclaimed the
invalid, "destroy not the hopes which
that man holds out to me; upon them I
live, without them die"
The mans stimulant was the quaok's
assurances, half suspected though they
were. A medical writer tells this story
Of celebrated English quack:
He was once visited by an old &C
quaintance from the country, who ad-
dressed him as "Zam."
"I'm glad to see Incest got on 50
vinely, Zam," said the rustic, "but
how is't, man? Thee know'st thee never
had no more brains nor pumpkin"
Taking him to window, the quack
babe him count the passers-by. "How
many have passed?" asked the quaok,
after few minutes.
MONTY, or mayhap a hundred"
"And how many wise men do you
suppose were among this numbere
"Mayhap one"
"Well, all the rest are mine"

THE HERzIN COMPETENCE.

The Berlin Congress Of 1878, unde
the influence of Beaconsield, il was
said, almost ignored the claims Of Greece
and left open the whole frontier question.
The supplementary Conference of Berlin,
called at the instance of England, has
extended the Greek frontier on lima
suggested as q compromise by the repre-
sentative of France This gives TO Greecs
nearly all OF Thessaly and the greater
part Of Epirus, or all that part south Of
Janina and the line of the Kalamia
river. The ceded territory includes
Janina, the capital of Epirus, city Of
about 10000 Inhabitants.
The decision as to the Greek boun-
Diary question was unanimous, and Will
doubtless be approved by the great
powers. The question is an old one,
and has been before Europe ever since
1854. In 1853 the Greeks, under the
encouragement Of Russia, made an at
tempt to occupy Thessaly and Epirus.
but We're forced out by England and
France. When the Turco- Russian war
broke out Greece made preparations to
occupy the coveted provinces, but was
restrained by England, with the promise
that she would gain more by maintaining
peaceful attitude. Under this promise
Greece looked for definite action on the
part Of England at the Berlin Congress,
but was disappointed, as were the Liber-
ais in England. Greece continued the
agitation, however, until England called
the supplementary conference, which
has decided in her favor.
Turkey protests, and, it is said, viii
oppose the cession Of territory, but as
against united Europe this opposition
will serve only to open mp new questions
to be decided against her.

Cardinal Wolsey, Fisher, Bishop OF
Rochester, Sir Thomas Moore, Duke OF
Norfolk, Earl of Surrey, and Cromwell,
are few of the number who rendered
Henry the greatest of service, and were
afterward beheaded at his instigation.
He, at another time, through intrigue,
induced the monks and abhots to resign
their houses. and the revenue of these
establishments, amounting to 9161, 900

The character of Henry VIII. is the
more detestable from the fact that his
atrocities were, In many instances, both
inhuman and unnecessary. Assuming
the reins of government at time when
there was popular clamor for change
in the administration, his accession to
the throne met with universal satisfac-
ton. Inheriting an undisputed title, he
was not, like John or Richard Ill, com
PEELED to rule with an iron hand in order
to maintain an authority which no one
questioned.
Queen Mary, coming Immediately
after her father was we'll calculated to
conduct reign Of terror, which had
been inaugurated by Henry VIII. She
removed the mask from her real char
acter by the villainous execution of Lady
Jane Gray and her husband Lord Gull
ford Dudley, for having been persuaded
to accept the offer of O. throne that was
willed to her by q legal heir.

A Charge.

A charge is made in last weeks STANDARD that the
Republicans of Jefferson township perpetrated a
fraud in the interest of Mr. Neal, at the primary
meeting to choose delegates to the County COnyen-
ton.
This is rather serious charge when it is consid-
eLed that about hundred Republicans attended
that meeting, ninety of whom indicated by their
votes that they in favor of the denomination of
Mr.. Neal. Probably the charge is calculated to
weaken his chances for nomination and election.
However, the alledged fraud ought be investigated
Justice to Mr. Neal and his friends demands that the
connected with the matter be narrated to the
public to enable to deuOunce approve Now, let
consider what the probabilities to the truth
of the charge. The meeting was duly organized. A
motion to select delegates by ballot unanimously
passed-the ballot-boX placed in charge of men
whose personal integrity and honesty is unqueston-
ed, and who certainly gave fair count. The bal
loting proceeded quietly and peacefully without
fraud or intimidation. Neal ticket distributed,
but all allowed to exercise the prerogative of
voting according the dictates of conscience Some
old and influential Republicans did not like the idea
of introducing the Congressional issue into the pri-
mary and did not hesitate to denOunce it fraud,
but the number of that class exceedingly small.
Some of the most ardent friends of Mr.. Harper,
naturally somewhat disappointed at the unexpected
number OF the opposition present, and Were not
pleased wihthe inevitable result and consequently
declared that this fraud' (whatever that may
would prevent a large number of Republicans from
supporting Mr. Neal in case he received the nominal
ton. The opinion is common that had the delegation
chosen been of different complexion the word fraud
would never have been associated with the proceed
ings of that primary. But if fraud practsed by
all means let us have full exposition of it.
