A ROLAND FOR AN "OLGvER."-An old
dyed.in-the-wool Republican hailed one
of the editors of the Ohio Democrat a few
days ago;
"Well, sir; how are the Democrats get.
ting along anyway? How is Ben Hill
and his baby?"
"Wer, sir, first rate" said the d. g.

liver have been to see the baby; also Sen.
ator Conkling and Mrs. Kate Sprague
have given it some attention. John
Sherman and Eliza Pinkston have been
giving it DR.. Bulls syrup, and now talk
of adopting the waif and getting Henry
Ward Beecher to baptize it, and Bob In
gersoll to stand as godfather for the
child" Whereupon the old Republican
made a B line, and got out Of hearing as
quick as possible. He now takes the op.

lNE Of John sherman,s KaYs Of max.

ONE of John Sherman's ways of max.
ing big showing of public debt reduc.
tiCn, is by Crowding the pensioners, and
postponipg the payment of their honest
claims. The House Committee investi.
eating the Pension Office, is finding some
rich material, of which we have an ink.
ling in the Washington special;
On Saturday the committee took the
testimony of Geo. M. Van Buren of New
York, who has been in business as a pen.
sion claim agent. Among the items Mr..
Van Buren, furnished the committee was
the following "There are $4,000 cases
in the Pension Office which the Commits.
souer could settle tomorrow if he
would"
"Why does he not settle them2" ask.
ed Judge Geddes, a member Of the COM
mittee.
"Why2 Because he dare not. To pay
those claims would require $50000,0O0,
and to pay out that sum from the Treas.
ury now would hurt John Sherman's
prospects for the Presidential nomina-
ton"
There is a decidedly John Sherman
flavor about this.

The New York Times in speaking of
Secretary Shermsn's defense Of the Sou.
theru policy in his Mansfield speech,
says;
"There is we'll founded impression
in the Republican party, that the ADJ
ministration, of which Mr. Sherman is
the chief member, has failed signally to
10 what could and ought to be done for
ths security Of equal rights, and that
impression is not favorable to the selec-
ton Of Mr.. Sherman as a Presidential
candi ate There is, moreover, an indi'
rect way Of aiding in the accomplish
ment Of this object. 1t is to build up
the Republican party in the South by
the pure and judicious use of the ap'
pointing power. On this point also the
record of Mr.. Sherman is not calculated
to inspire confidence. 1t must, on the
contrary, excite indignation and dis.

A TRAGEDY.

Only two cats, yet they calmly reposed
On the rug by the fire. and no one supposed
That, before sunset these two kits would be
The victims Of a tragedy.
Only a boy, yet he noticed those cats,
All snugly fixed as bugs in mats,
And on his phiz grin was seen,
Like an imp's when planning something mean
Only a string, yet In It's knot
The Caudal onGs Of the kits were wrought
And now on the face Of the boy that grin
Extended around from ears to chin.
Only a clothes line, yet it swung
And on 1t by their tails were hung
The mild and gently purring pair,
Topsy turvy in the air.
Only two tails might now be seen
On the lire where the cats and tails had been
And though cats to have nine lives are rated
They thrive not when dsintegrated.

Poor little Daily down.Dnly,
She slept with her head on a rose,
When sly moth miller kissed her
And lefl some dust on her nose.
Poor little Daffy down Dnly!
She woke when the clock struck ten,
And hurried away to the Fairy Queens ball,
Down in the shadowy glen.
Poor little Eahy.dOwn. Dlllyl
Right dainty was she and fair,
In her bodice ofyellew satin,
And pettlcoat green and rare.
But to look in her dew.drop mirror,
She quite forgot when she rose,
And h.to the Queens high presence
Trlpped with spot on her nose.
Then the little knight that loved her
o, he wished that he we're dead,
And the Queens maid began to litter,
And tossed her saucy head,
And up from her throne so stately
The wee queen rose in her power,
Just waved her light wand DER her
Aud changed her into flower,
Poor little Datfy-down. .Dlllyl
Now In silver sprlng-tme hours
She wakes In the sunny meadows.
And lives with the other flowers.
Her beautiful yellow boddIce
With green skirts wears she still,
And the children seek and love her,
But they call her Daffodil.

LIVE LONG AND BE HAPPY

Why shoBd not everyone live out their full al
lotted time, enjoy good health and be happy ?
Surely there is no good reason, and yet many will
allow impure blood, weakness Of the kidneys,
imperfect digestion, and urinary troubles to un.
dermlne and break down theiI general health,
and carry them to premature grave. Some seek
relief among mineral poisons, in pill form, etc,
others resort to extensively advertised alcoholic
beverages and fermented liquors, only to feel
themselves for time somewhat better but after
awhile much worse. Now, why should this be
so2 1t is well known by the intelligent portion
of our community that DR., Guysotfs Yellow Dock
and Sarsaparilla will su ely remove all these dis
orders. This medicine Is the wonderful discov-
cry OF an eminent French physician, and has
proven itself in thousands Of instances to be the
best vegetable blood purifier known to medical
men. 1t never fails to etfectually cure scrotula,
Syphiitic disorders, weakness of the kidneys, all
nervous disorder and debility, and all urinary
and digestive troubles. 1t makes the old feel full
| OF youthful vigor, and the young energetic and
gay, restoring petect manhood and womanhood
especially when the disease has a tendency TO
weaken the mind, body aud nervous system. Dc
not despair A single bottle will convince you oi
its great merit as health renewer, for 1t begIni
at once to give new life and Vigor to both body
and mind, never failing to remove all symptoms
Of any and every disease that can be cured by
cleansing, renovsting, purifying and strengthen
ing the human system, driving out, as If by mag
tc, the many ills that flesh is heir to- and building
