balcony. He falls in love at once, ana
throws into his face and eyes express
sions of admiration for her; at the same

by passing his hand over his mouth and
chin. The lady's answer is blush !;
she hides her face, except the eyes,
behind her fan, and, pointing to the
rear to indicate that mamma lis COM

same play on the gentleman's side;
followed possibly by glance, not of
encouragement, from the lady; where
up in he hugs his left side, to express
that he loves her to distraction, and the
lady fees, to return the next day and
the next to observe the gentleman s
gestures and silent avowals of passion.

What Hit Him?

When Q railroad passenger hears the
whistle sounding an alarm, it is his
first impulse to look out of the window,
but this impulse is always restrained
by second thought, except in case of
green travellers. A few days ago an
old man and his wife were passengers
on Lake Shore train, and as the SEQ.
ton men were making repairs on the
various places, the whistle was sounded
pretty often. The old couple were
fully alive to every toot," and each
time the old man would stick his head
out Of the window.
Does 1t mean anything, Samuel ?"
asked the wife every time his head
came back, but he could give her no
satisfactory explanations. A traveller
behind them finally warned the old
man that he ran risk by sticking his
head out, but at the very next toot he
was ct it again. He wore q plug hat
which looked fully twenty years old,
and its loss would be nothing great.
Preparations were quietly made be-
hind him, and everything was all ready
when the next whistle sounded.

Queried the wife, as she moved around
unsasily.
"Idunno." he replied, 81 believe

she continued.
Out went his head. his face toward
the engine. and q smart rap with a
cano from the next window knocked his
hat on and sent it flying into swamp.
he pulled back with such rush that he
almost went over his wife into the
aisle.

THE.SENATORSHIP.

One of the most important
duties devolving ON the next
General Assembly is the cleo
ton Of a Senator to fill the
place now occupied by the
usurper, Kellogg, and which
will be vacant ON the 4th of
March 1883.
According to the Revised
Statutes of the United States
governing this matter, ballot
ing for this officer is to COM
mence on the second Tuesday
after the meeting and organiza-
ton the Legislature, that is on
the Goth day of January.
In view of the near approach
of this election, the people of
the State naturally feel some
curiosity and much interest re-
garding the imam upon whom
their representatives will decide
as most worthy to fill the place.
Such a man will be found in
the person of Gen. Randall L.
Gibson, and it is with pleasure
we learn of his prominent men-
ton in this connection. Mr..
Gibson, while moderate in his
views of State policy, is, never
theless, strong adherent to
Democratic principles as laid
down by Mr.. Jefferson !; and his
hearty and energetic organiza-
ton well fits him for the work
of the Office in question. The

A CIVILIZATION BURST upon the public

twenty-five years ago, that grand result
of medical research and synthetic skill,
Hostctters Stomach Bitters, was given
to the world. Soon after it had been
started on it's curative mission it was dis
covered that it's botanic propensities far
surpassed those of the approved mineral
remedies of the day. Not the least among
the good consequences of its general use
has been to disabuse mems minds of many
absurd medical tallacies. and to demon
state the superiority of vegetable rene
dies. 1t conquers and prevents malarial
fevers, dyspepsia, chronic constipation, a
tendency to kidney and bla oder ailments
and rheumatism, ard is of the greatest
value in cases of bodily troubles arising
from weakness. Old people are greatly
aided by it, and 1T is highly serviceable
to convalescents and ladies in delicate
health. 1t is Moreover, useful
