Hazelton has a majority of about
5000 over Cothren in the third

Hancock 10000 majority. 1t is
thought that Hawkins, republican,
has Teen chosen governor. Houck,
of the second district, is the only
republican elected to congress. The
Memphis district is in doubt. Three

A Relic of Saltwater.

For over half a century 4
tradition has been held that
one Of Bnrgoyne's fourpoun
der iron cannons lay in the
bed Of Ike river Il little north
Of saltwater village, but no
one was ever able 10 get more
than 4 feeling OF it until
a few days ago, when 4 few
adventurous boys took advant
age of the present lew water
and resnrrected It from its
oozy bed, where il had lain
nearly one hundred and three
years. 1t is IN a good state 81
preservation, aud Ii is pre-
posed that it shall be cleaned
and fired on the anniversary
OF the surrender, when some
body will probably be injured
by the explosion Of the gun.

Perhaps that's so, rejoined the
beauty, brightning up. Il didn't
think Of that. Now I'll read the
third verse:
How sadly droops the dying day,
AS night springs from the glen,
And moaning twilight seems To say
"The old mans drunk again,
wouldn't do, would it ?" asked the
exchange editor. Somebody else
wrote that, and we might be acus-
ed of plagiarism. We must have
this thing original, Suppose we
say; now just suppose we say, why
did spout my Benz"
Is that new ?" inquired the
sweet, rosy lips. AT least | never
herd of it before. I don't know
what it means
New? Deed it's new. Ben is
the Presbyterian name for over
coat, and spout means to hook.
Why did spout my Ben p means
why did | shove my topper. That's
just what twilight would think of
first, you know. OH don't be A.
fraid, that's just immense.
swell, I'll leave that to you"
said the glorious girl with a smile
that pinned the exchange editors
heart to his spine
This is the fourth verse"
"The merry milkmaid's sombre song
re-echoes from the rocks,
AS silehtly She trips along
with holes in both her socks,

tor You see"
"Oh! no, nol' demonstrated the
blushing maiden. "Not that
Certainly" protested the ex-
change editor, warming up. "Nine
to four she's got 'em; and you got
fidgety to fact with Il wealth Of po-
etical expression. The worst Of poe
try generally is, you can't state
things as they are. II amt like
prose. But here we've busted all
the established notions, and put up
an actual existence with 4 veil Of
genuine poetry over it. | think
that's the best idea we have struck
yet"
II don't seem to look at it as you
do, but of course you are the best
judge. Pa thought | ought to say
AS silently she trips along
In antumns yellow tracks.
wouldn't that do?n
dol just look at it. Does
tracks rhyme with rocks ? Not in
the Brooklyn Eagle it don't. Be
sides, when you say tracks and
rocks you give the impression of
some fellow heaving things at am
other fellow who's scratching for
safety. Socks, on the other hand
rhymes with the rocks and beaut-
fes them while it touches up the
milkmaid, and by describing her
condition shows her to be child of
the very nature you are showing
up"
81 think you are right said the
sweet angel, "l'll tell pa where he
was wrong. This is the way the
fifth verse runs:
And close behind, the farmers boy
TrillS forth his simple tunes,
And slips behind the maiden coy
"And splits his pantaloons; done
it myself; know just exactly how it
is. Why, bless your heart, why
