Democrats are coming into power, and then
out must 90 the present incumbents to make
room for their successors.
Double, double toll and trouble;
Office holdings but a bubble;
Send your checks to My Dear Hubbell,'
Or he'll NOW you down like stubble.

The Panama Star and Herald has some IL
teresting remarks to make about quarStine
regulations 1t says on the isthmus of
Panama no quarantine has ever been estab-
lished, and yet, Notwithstanding the isthmus
cities are shockingly filthy and their sanitary
regulations VIGOROUSLY useless, and not
wfthstanding Thousands of emigrants con-
tinuallY pass through, bringing every known
form Of disease, the isthmus has still been
freer from epidemics than any other part of
the tropics, where yellow fever is danger
Gus. Why this is so it does not pretend to
explain, but it claims an especially favora-
BILE record as compared with the Jamaica
ports, which are forever closing their gates
against all the world.
An employe in Partisan shop went re-
Gently to dine at a certain restaurant. While
he was at table some itinerant mu ,icians
entered the place and began to play the
''Marseillaise. The diner, who was a true
patriot, was extremely fond OF the song,
aud he was so much delighted with the len
6erlng of It that he begged tbs musicians to
repeat 1t. The band thereupOn went
through the air a second time, and the
diner, still unsstisfed, asked them to repeat
it again. The other persons in the restau-
rant, however, were less patriotic, and they
objected to more "Marseillaise." An alter
cation followed; this developed into a
serious squabble, and the noble French
patriot was finally knocked down with
stool.
The religious vacation In New York has
fairly begun. Most of the churches are
closed, and the preachers are gone scatter
ing among the mountains and along the
beaches, and good men have every tempta-
tion to go wrong and no monitor to warn
them. A good many church going bellies
and beaux go to COney now, on Sundays,
Just to see how habitual Sabbath breakers
spend their time, and take a peep at the
attractions which are stronger than sermons
and services In drawing the biggest half OF
the world away from serious duties 10 vain
friVolities. II there are no church doors
open, Coney and RockawaY receive the
disconsolate communicates with open arms,
and took In a good many mourners last
Sunday. The only real moral show there
was on the beach was a man wheeling trip
lets in baby wagon, with the happy mother
at his side. He was an honest father OF
family aud not runner Ia the interest of
any money changing shop, and the picture
was sight that the Coney Christians might
look at with propriety.
