"Wait for the Wagon and We
Will all Take a Ride"

Wait for Murray's new stock
of goods and you can then take
a long ride.
Wait before buying until you
see Murray's five and ten cent
counters-more useful things for
the money than you ever saw
in your life.
Wait until you compare price
and quality with Murray's i'm
mense stock of boots and shoes,
manufactured by the Bay State
Shoe g. Leather Co., standard
screwed, every pair warranted at
as low prices as you can buy
shoddy goods at other places.
Wait for the wagon and ride
home with a suit of Murray's
clothing, which he sells at fabu-
louS low prices.
Wait and supply yourself with
one of Murray's hats, which he
is selling at from twenty-five
cents to three dollars each, the
cheapest you probably ever
bought.
Wait and make a general IN
spection of Murray's cloths, cas-
simeres, jeans, linseys, flannels,
ladies' shawls, dry goods, and
every thing usually in first class
stores, purchased from the best
houses in New York for cash,
with discounts off, making a nice
profit to commence with.
Pm told this world is all a stage,
Where tears of the poor are never dried,
Where pleasures pass like breath on glass
And only the rich can ride.
II may be SOL cannot know
Yet this ! dare TO say,
Nv lot has been more sad than glad,
Yet-Murray expects to ride-some day.

Shelbyvllle Squibs.
Shelbyville, October 20.

ED. Observation-Disclosures is
brisk in this busy little city
including politics. We arrived
at this place at 10 o'clock last
night, but having been confined
closely to business during the
day, we have had no time to de-
vote to the "exquisite pleasure"
to be derived from orally drink
ing in the profound political wis
dom(?) which, we arc instinct
lively aware, is being literally
dispensed by the Solonical street
demagogues of Shelbyville. To-
morrow We will sally forth, and
with that solemn gravity of man
ner, supposed to have been one
of the cardinal virtues possessed
and displayed by that historic
charger that carried on his back
Baalam and his misfortunes, we
will open our eyes, prick up our
ears (Which are as remarkable
for their length and the amount
they expose to the action of airy
vibrations as were those of the
above charger feast our optical
senses-the one on the gestures,
the other on the braying of our
assinine compatriots. We expect
to hear sights and see sounds.
Well, it is Thursday evening.
We have seen, we have heard!
And our seeing and hearing have
resulted-in the confirmation of
our repeatedly expressed opinion
that the bolt of the quartette-
Wilson, Savage, Tolley and Snod-
grass would, if persisted in, elect
the entire Republican ticket and
consign them in the near future
to that depth of political degre-
dation-the first fruit of WHICH
is the scorn of all the good men
of their party; the second, to be
doomed to justly earned obliv-
ion for all time to come, "a con-
summation most devoutedly to
be" Stunned by every confirmed
demagogue. Absurd attempt.
The bolter can never evade his
dooml And it is right that it
should be so. When men with
parricidal ingratitude cleaye "a
sunder the body of the party
from the breast of which they
have drawn whatever of prefer
ment they may have possessed,
they deserve not the excavations,
not accommodation only but
to be utterly blotted out of mem
DRY by the remnant of the party
they have so nearly destroyed.
And when the second of No
vember shall have passed and
left the Republicans exultant
over the easy victory forced up
on them by the dissensions crea-
ted b. the morbid ambition of
the leaders of the no-tax move
ment; then let the tocsin which
clothes in sackcloth and ashes
the grand old organization, foun-
ded by the fathers of the repub-
lie, sound also the political death
knell of the rule or ruin sover-
eigns who inaugurated and car
ried out a departure, which any
donkey with an ounce of CONF
mon sense could have informed
them would insure the disorgan-
ization and consequent defeat of
the Democratic party, and Sc
cure "a misfortune not SO much
to be, deplored) their own down
fall. No. 8.

A Nevada Rabbit Farm.

Ever since the cold snap the Washoe
and Piute Indians have been selling jack
rabbits in astonishing quantities at fig
ures which have ruled considerably be-
low their usual market prices. Bill
jackson, who has been hunting for a
week, tells this remarkable story in con-
nection with this bountiful supply:
You see the cold snap drove the rab-
bits into the canyon out of the wind.
One moonlight night l came across a
drove of over 500 making for the canyon.
They were all huddled together getting
as much warmth as possible from each
others bodies. The drove were packed
together as -clese as the threads of a
three-ply carpet, and as they moved
along they looked ike big army blan-
ket drawn over the ground. They
passed close by me, and when L fired
into the drove with a shotgun, eight or
ten dropped, but the others closed right
up and passed on as before. This drove
were making for Ash Canyon. | didn't
think at the time exactly what was up,
but few days sgo was up to Kings
Canyon, and there saw sight which
was the most uncommonest thing | ever
glued my eyes to. There were the rab-
bits-acres of email huddled together
in bunch, and packed like sardines,
and every one of 'em froze stiff as
wedge. Iturned up the edge of the
mass with my gun, and broke of slice
with a dozen in all stuck together.
Presently some Indians carie along and
began to yell, They concluded they'd
struck meat bonanza, and they've
been iuggin' off the rabbits ever since.
That's the reason rabbits are so cheap
around the town. Why, out in the
brush you can fine. whole gangs of 'em
standin' on their lind legs. and frozen
stiff. shot single one the other day,
s'posin' he was alive" Other hunters
report thousands of frozen jack rabbits
in Carson Valley, although none have
as yet viewed the astonishing sights de-
scribed by Jackson.--Carson (NeU.)

A Bachelors League.


Many highly respectable men in
London about thirty years ago, as the
Punch files tell us, had become thor
oughly impressed with the idea that
something ought to be, done to relieve
themselves from certain social duties
which had been gradually growing more
and more onerous. After some can
wasting among the interested persons it
was finally decided to form League of
Bachelors, and as the members of that
league were endeavoring to escape
from responsibilities which are noto-
riously shirked by the young men
of to-day, we shall perhaps interest our
feminine readers by transcribing few
of the rules which were laid down
for a London society almost gener-
alton ago, and which are likely to be
revived before long on this side of the
water:
1. Every bachelor joining the League
is to cancel all previous engagements.
2. Every bachelor having subscribed
for five years to the League, and who,
by misfortune, shall have incurred a
matrimonial engagement, shall be
defended against any action for breach
of promise, and thus saved from the
shame and misery of going through the
Court of Hymen, which is too fire.
quently another name for the Insolvent
Court.
8. Connected with the League it is
intended to establish Bachelors In
surance Office, to insure single men
against marriage and Irritation, on the
same principles as are usually applied
to death and fire. ANY member having
visited willfully house with more than
two manageable daughters, will, in
the event of the calamity of marriage
Detailing him, be recorded in the same
light as fclo de Sc, and his policy will be
vitiated on account of the very bad
policy that will have guided him. Any
bachelor falling-into matrimony-by
his own hand, as in the case of a written
promise to wed, will be deprived of all
the benefits of his insurance, and every
applicant proposing to be insured must
answer the following questions, among
others that will be proposed to him (:
What is your age next birthday At
what age had your father the misfortune
to marry your motherP Have you
been afflicted with the German or other
maniap Are you subjected to senti-
mental fitsP Have you been addicted to
the writing of sonnets? Or have you
ever suffered from the cacoethes scriben-
di in any shape, or at any time whatev-
er? Have you at any time in your life
been victim to the flute, or any other
deadly-lively instrument? Have any OF
your near relations fallen in love at any
time, and if so, have they recovered, OF
have their cases ended fatally?
If these questions are all answered in
a satisfactory manner, any member OF
the Bachelors League may insure any
amount under $4,000, to be paid within
three months of the melancholy termi-
nation of his single career, on proof OF
wedlock having actually overtaken him
The insurance against Irritation or fire
can be effected where the applicant i:
more than ordinarily infammable, and
watering-places in the season, balls anc
picnic parties must be considered a:
doubly or trebly hazardous, and charged
accordingly.-Boston Times.

rebuks, even the slightest check viii
show its effect on the child's counte-
nance, and you may be sure it goes
deeper than you can see, and lasts
longer than Jou may think
No opportunity TO cultivate q ehild's
self-respect should be neglected. That
is the foundation to true manhood, and
he who builds on any other builds on a
quicksand. Better than the education
of the schools or fortunate business
connections, high birth or influential
friends. These are all well as adjuncts.
but altogether they are less to be desired
than the seli-respect which beset5 con-
fidence, energy and self-reliance.
If you want TO try an experiment,
take dog and subject it for six months
to the sanG treatment some children
receive, and observe the effect. Our
word for it, you will give it such a
disposition that it will be known all over
the neighborhood as an animal to be
avoided. Somewhat like effects are
produced on all other animals. There
are, of course, differences. Some will
be more easily affected than others, rs
their natural dispositions differ, but q
harsh word is never without injury; and
if this is the case with animals, whose
appreciation of praise or blame must be
comparatively small, what must be the
result when a finely-organized child is
the subject?
Many brutal instincts may, in a
measure, be overcome by kindness, and,
on the contrary, humanity becomes dull
by undeserved reproof, even when it is
not formulated in words. The world
would be better if there were more
kindly words, and many child grows
up to be a hard-hearted, unloving man
who, if reared in an atmosphere of
kindness, would have nourished the
seeds of affection planted in his youthful
days, and in his maturity been bless
ing to all around him.-Rural Ne0
Yorker.

Waterspout a Thousand Feet High.

Wilbur Hammond and DIR. Mears, of
Greenport, L. L., describe an extraor-
binary phenomenon which they wit
messed while ON the Sound shore, OPP
posite that village, on recent afternoon.
Their attention was first attracted by
what seemed to be an unusual disturb
ance on the surface of the water, d.
recaly under heavy cloud coming from
the windward, the wind blowing heavily
from the northwest and heavy surf
rolling. The tops of the waves assumed
the spirally- ascending motion peculiar
to waterspouts, which increased until
the elevation was upward of fifty feet
before the water took the cloud form.
This was soon followed by second,
about mile off shore, similar to the
first, but considerably larger, its height,
Judging from the angle of elevation, be-
ing nearly one thousand feet. The top
of this also resolved into fog or mist
directly under a cloud. Then, at a dis
lance of about four miles, third one
was plainly observable, which seemed
TO meet the sky at the rear of the cloud,
and which must have covered an ares OF
several acres. All three of these spouts
were moving with the wind, and the
first or smallest one subsidized to the
water level only few rods from the
beach. Immediately there was a sharp
dash of rain, followed by hail squall,
as the disturbing cloud passed over, and
when this subsidized, so that view of
the Sound could again be obtained, the
waterspouts had disappeared. So far
as known, these were the only water
spouts ever seen in the Sound.
