Hon Messer Ward made a speech 1t the
courthouse last NJ ,nday, during the course of
which he admitted that he bolted the nomina-
ton OF Hatcher in 1872, and ran independent.
After ackrowled sing that this was IAN error, "
the speaker said, 'But is that to be brought
up against me forevers" Probably not; but
if Mr. Ward holds that his action in 1872
ought to be overlooked now by reason Of the
lapse of time and his subsequent good behav-
.ior, he certainly ought to accord the same
mercy and forgiveness to Mr.. Davis. Yet the
burden of his speech Monday was some alleg
ed political SHORTCOMINGS of Mr.. Davis in
1865 &c. To be consistent, Mr.. Ward ought
long ago have forgiven. and those alleged de-
linquencies should now be beyond the scope
of his retentive memory.

WORST BLUFF T EVER MADE"

| '!Yank' Hibbard, a Well know rail
road man, connected with the Naldalia
while lin indianapolis few days ago
had an experience in a street car which
he will remember. 'Yank' is very fond OF
IA bluff and Al joke. He got aboard the
car aud sat down opposite a quiet lnoN-
| ing, gray old man. Presently 'Yank'
pulled out II long fiat pocket-book, con
tanning about $l23 in small bills. These
ne tlourished with sufficient force to con-
ceal their denomination, remarking in
loud tones as he did 80, Il will bet $1,000

ed States.'
The quiet gray man SAID: care you
not little reck kless, yound mans'
L gness not; money talks replied
'Yank,' giving the bills another tauut.
so it does, said the quiet, gray man,
as he produced-a most plethoric pocket
book. From the roll therein he skinned
otfa $500 and five S10Os, remarkiug as he
did so:
Il will see that money of yours, and if
yen want to bet from $1,000 to $1,000 more,
or know any body hat does, will accom-
modatc you or him."
YANG was struck all in q heap at the
display of wealth and confidence on the
part of the qniet old gentlemhn and he
merely gasped: 'Who the devil are you p
"A great many people stard rea'y to
bet the same amount that / VIII be the

myself. My name is Frank Landers.'
.Yank' reached up and pulled hestrap,
and as he got off the car remarked, 'That

water WAS unusually strong.
The pumps labored ussiduos!y
to keep il down, but laborcd in

ton could not be kept down.
When the 2l0O sta ion 1T that
shaft was down some three

thrown out OF the sight Of its

evident amazement at the sud-

She then flew to "a mile-postnear-

characteristic of the dove. Sud-
denly she seemed to realize
