Prayer meeting this "Wednesday

Last evening Pat Nolan. n of onr
efficient constables, arrested a fellow

The Washington Post propounds an
original conundrum: "Can't some other
word than genial be found to describe
the man who shakes hands and drinks
with everybody and laughs at the
thrice-told anecdotes which vex the
ears Of drowsy menu"
Thirty-seven years ago the first mes
sage was sent by electricity. and then
1t required two operators and a strip of
paper, from which the words were ia
boriously deciphered and Transcribed.
To-day you can go TO a telephone and
tell a man ten miles Off that he Is a
liar, and he won't know where or who
you are.
Clara Folz, a female lawyer in San
Francisco, is not to be 'sassed', in
court with impunity. Her opposing
counsel told her. the other day, that a
woman's proper place was at home,
raising children, when she retorted:
"A woman had better be engaged In al
most any business than in raising such
men rs you are, sir"
A lady in Washington has had her
hair changed from a light blonde color
to pure black, from several months use
of jaborandi, a Brazilian plant, admin.
istered to her as a rememdy for blood
poisoning. Whether the new color will
be permanent, or the Q growth be of
the original color, remains to be seen,
and the result is looked for with much
interest.
The county commissioners have taken
steps toward placing In a safe condition
the balcony at the court house, which
for the past six years has been threat
ening to fall from its own weight. Iron,
or perhaps substantial wood columns
will be placed under the outward corn
ers which will make 1t perfectly safe.
The LEADER first called attention to
this matter, and we are glad that the
matter has received prompt attention.
As predicted by the LEADER some days
ago, the TrottIngPark Association have
extended the time within which entries
may be made for the coming races. 1t
is said by some that this is not strictly
in accordance with the rules of the ma
tional association, but no one so far
seems TO object to the extension of
time.
Political nomenclature is growing in
Albany, and MIR. Worcester and Mr..
Webster will need an appendix to the
next editions of their dictionaries. In
1877 Mr.. Blaine applied the epithet
''stalwarts" to those republicans who
distrusted the south, and who were in
the habit Of waving the ''bloody shirt"
Curiorsly enough, 1t has been a%ppropri-
ated now by Mr.. Conkling and his ad-
herents, and it signifies the man who
run with the machine. The ''half
breed" is the man who is opposed to
Conkling, and the ''buck'' is the man
that votes for him first. last and all the
time. The 'jelly fish" is the fellow
who wobbles about, voting first for one
candidate and then for another, which
is a sign that reads, "Come and buy
me. The ''polecat" is the meddlesome
outsider, not a resident of york
state" but m who go goes up to
Albany to help one side or the other.
Dedication of the Baptist Church.
The dedicatory services of the new
Baptist church of Cheyenne, occurred
last evening, and an immense throng of
people were in attendance. We have
not the space to give a full report of the
exercises, and must therefore simply
confine ourselves to a brief outline of
the same.
