THE poor dog, it seems, "must go"
from church. A correspondent of a South
ern Baptist paper protests against the
practice Of bringing dogs to church, and
to fortify his position relates the follow

pastor was about to administer the COM

of the loaf of bread and left with it. The

Rlailf,S Wife.

1t was in Kentucky, says the cor
respondent of the Cleveland Leader,
that Senator Blame first met the la
dy who is now his wife. She was a
Yankee school mistress, and she
taught near the school which was
presided over by Blaine. Blaine
soon became acquainted with her,
spanked her, and finally fell in love
with her. He went with her for
some time, and was very anxious to
know something about her family.
She refused to tell him, evaded his
questions and gave him no satisfac.
ton. He finally became engaged
to her and followed her to Maine,
where they were finally married.
When he reached Maine he found
she was the daughter of the editor
OF the Augusta--,I have for.

most prominent Wing paper in the
State at the time. He also discover.
ed that her father was quite wealthy
and that. the family was one of the
Oldest and most respectable in the
State, one Of the girls being the Gail
Hamilton Of literary fame. The
marriage was that which brought
Mr.: Blaine to Maine to live, and it
added much in making him the no
ted character that he is to day. He
remembers every one and every
thing. They used to call him at
College Omniscient Blaine. He was
also called Nosey Blame: first, for
the reason Of his immense natural
proboscis. and second, because he
knew so much.

Some of the Democratic papers in
this district are trying hard to i'm
press upon the voters, that there is
now the same opposition to Strait
that there was two years ago. One
OF Poehler's enthusiastic supporters,
the St. Peter Times, says that the
Amundsons, Arctanders and Rices
are for Henry Poehler and against
Strait. Such statements are un-
doubteoly intended to impress wav.
ering voters with the idea that the
same number of Scandinavians who
bolted the Republican nominee for
Congress two years ago, will do the
same thing at the coming election.
Although Democrats may find e.
nough soIace IN such thoughts to
give them pleasant dream from now
until the I'd of November, they will
then awake to find themselves badly
mistaken. Those Republicans who
voted for the Democratic nominee
at the last congressional election,
have learned a lesson during the
time which has elapsed since
then, and they will therefore decline
to repeat the experiment. The Bud
stikken,' published at Minneapolis,
and the leading Norwegian paper in
the State, says that large number
of letters have been received by it's
editor, wherein the writersstate that
their folly to let Democrat slip in.
to Congress from this district has
been dearly paid, and the general
verdict throughout the district,
among Scandinavians as well as 9TH
ers seems to be, 'Strait must be cleo
ted this fall.'

The British postofice department
has adopted praiseworthy meth cd
tor promoting small savings. The
government now issues at its vari-
Gus postoffices an official strip of pa
per, having upon it places for twelve
postage stamps to be stuck. The
possessor, man, woman or child,
can, whenever he has a spare penny
buy a stamp and stick it upon the
slip. When the slip is full, that is
when twelve stamps have been glued
on, the holder can, by taking the
slip to the postofice, get a. savings
bank receipt for a shilling, which is
the minimum deposit that the post
office savings bank will take.

erican people will look back with
horror to their permitting or au.
thorizing the agony Of suspense
and anxiety in which tens Of thous-

pass the six months previous to the
Presidential election. The mere
barbarity Of the thing, even if it
worked no injury to the state,
ought to condemn it in the eyes of
any Christian, or even civilized
people. No government which
allows an efficient and upright

is no reason why the immense civil
service Of the United Sta ties should
not be conducted on plain business
principles and that the tenure of
office should be as stable as in the
Army and Navy. The country
would actually suffer less from a

Military and Naval services are
