Democratic Use Of Money.

Judging from their loud outcry aga
inst the contribution made by RepublI-
can officeholders, it might be supposed
that the Democracy were so enInently
virtuous as to discard the use of money
in elections. But all this is mistake.
In the Southern States they make the
bludgeon, and rifle, tissue ballots and
false counting, supply the place of mon
ey, in n measure, but here in the North
they know how to get hold of the shek
els, and understand how to use them.
DURING the recent campaign in this State
the Democracy received $50, 900 from
the brewers, $4,000 from the distillers,
$50, 900 from the saloonists, and heaven
only knows how much additional they
secured through the assessment of can
didates and from other quarters. In
Massachusetts, and Kansas the rum-sell-
ers are 'whacking" up strongly in aid
of the Democracy. while in Iowa pa
thetic appeal has been sent out.
Everywhere the Democratic leeches
are crying for money-more money.
for corruption purposes and do not hesi-
tate to employ it. The Baltimore Sun,
an intensified organ of the Bourbon
Democracy, recently published sched-
ule OF assessments made upon the office
holders of Democratic Baltimore. All
salaries above 81 900 were taxed per
cent. Those receiving from seven to
nine hundred dollars were to pay $40
and the lamp-lighters, receiving four
hundred dollars, per annum, were let
OF at $500. This sort of Democratic
assessment extends throughout the
whole of Maryland. 1t was only the
other day that the Journal, of Pottsville
Pa, published the following list of as
sessments made upon Democratic cam
didates for use in the county where the
journal is published.

The Woman who Giggled.

1t is singular fact that some people
find it very difficult to be serious and
solemn in churches and at funerals, and
at other places and occasions, when pro-
priety demands subdued expression of
countenance. Mrs. Milo Stephens, an
Austin lady, is just that kind of per-
son. Whenever she attends funeral,
she gets a giggling fit, and brings dis
grace on herself and confusion on every
body. Not long since, accompanied by
her husband, Colonel Milo Stephens,
she attended the last obsequies of a
prominent Texas official, having sol
emnly promised not to emit a single
giggle until she got back home, but she
was hardly in the house of mourning be-
fore she saw something to excite her
risibilities.
"For heavens sake, Mirandy, wait
until the funeral is over before you be-
gin your Internal giggling."
"He! hei her' giggled Mrs. Stephens.
Think of something serious. Think

tiary.
The only response was partially
attention of nearly everybody in the
room.
''I hope none of the children will

as left the trap-door open," whis-
pered poor Colonel Stephens in des-
pair.
The only response was another sup
pressed spasm of laughter. Finally, 9
happy thought struck Colonel Stephens.
He whispered in her ear:
1.-The milliner on Austin avenue told
me to tell you that she could not get
your bonnet trimmed in time for you to
wear it on Sunday"
The look of unutterable woe with
which she responded scared him. Dur
ing the rest of the funeral ceremonies
strangers who we're present supposed
Mrs. Milo Stephens was the widow,
such an appropriately sad expression
was there on her countenance. She
even shed tears.-TerGs SJtiags.

Imagine q curiously shaped boat. par

low at the bow, suggesting to nervous

beneath the first advancing wave. There
is very heavy lateen sail held up by
rotten ropes, which occasionally startle

letting their whole burden crash down
upon deck. The water leaks in at every

men to bale night and day. There are
eighty passengers, where according to
Western notions, thirty would be SUI

abominable smells truly sickening; the
rotting wood of the dhow, the accumu-
lated grease and filth of years, the
bilge-water, and the effiuvia from the
perspiring skins of the crowded negroes
all contribute their quota to an effect
which words cannot describe. Such
were the horrors which awaited me as
the dhow left Mikindany behind. When
at last my usual attack of sea-sickness
laid me low, 1 really felt that that 9TH

about eight inches between my nose
and the flooring overhead.) had just
begun to dose off when an uneasy con-
sciousness of strange sensations dawned
upon me. Soon was made only too pain

the most Objectionable companions of
man in all lands. One well-known spe-
cies swarmed over me with pertinacious
purpose; another kind of a more lively
nature, in their excitement at the dis
covery of a thin-skinned subject-a de-
cided variety from the leathery nigger
integument-skipped about with play
full glee, prospecting here and there as
the humor suggested; then, to crown
the whole, before left that wretched
bunk, a creeping sensation set in about
the roots of my hair, which at first made
me imagine it was about to stand on
end with horror of my situation, but
which, alas! turned out to be a still
more real aggrayation of my tortures.-

Tempting Providence.

Some of the older Democrats who have
so many times during the past twenty
years seen their party on the very verge of
great success only to be disappointed at
last and have all their high hopes dashed,
are becoming superstitious about their
luck. They are beginning to think that
the stars in their courses fight against them
as they did against Slsera. Providence.
that seems sometimes to smile on them
for a moment presently turns upon them
frowning face; their dawn clouds over
in darkness; their tidal wave subsidies into
ripple that hardly reaches the shore,
much less shakes the land. 1t was Provi-
dence, they said, that stopped their pro-
gress when in 1s76-'s0 they seemed to be
making a triumphal march toward power.
They would not confess that their own
misdoing had anything to do with it, or
that the wise Republican administration
which brought resumption about, establish
ed the National credit and set the country
forward on a career of unexampled pros
perity, was the cause. They noisily protest
ed that the credit for good times" belong
ed not to the Republican party but to
Providence; that the prosperity of the
country was due simply to the crops and
not to Republican administration.
And although they did not venture
openly to upbraid Providence for ordering
good crops at a time when Republicans
would reap the advantage of them, they
let it be distinctly understood that in their
judgment Providence would have managed
matters much more wisely if it had post
poned the good crops until after the Dem
ocrats had come into power. On that ac-
count, and because Providence has seemed
to have a leaning toward the Republicans
many Democrats have gone into chronic
distrust of it. One of this sort experienced
a momentary elation the other day at read
ing in his newspaper the glorious news"
from Ohio and the editors prognostications
therefrom of an Overwhelming Democratic
victory at the Presidential election. The
old gentleman was beginning to feel quite
encouraged at the prospect, when upon
turning over the paper he read that an
eminent astronomer had expressed the be-
lief that the comet now visible would fall
into the sun and cause the destruction of
the world in 1888. "Yes," grunted he as he
threw down the paper in disgust, "that's
just what supposed would happen. Can't
beat us this time with the crops, and so
they're going to mash US with a comet"
1t isn't certain that the comet will de-
stroy the world, but it is reasonably certain
that Providence does not favor Democratic
ascendancy. and it will be wise not to
tempt it in that way.-N. Y. Tribune.

that "the Wellington ENTERPRIsE is now

Every cool day which suggests the need
of winter clothing and supplies brings to
Wellington a crowd of people, and it is
coming to. be well-known that this is an
excellent place to trade. With three large
well-flled dry goods stores, two where
new stoves can be selected, plenty of cloth
ing, boot and shoe, and millinery establish
ments, drug and grocery stores, harness
and carriage shops, and places where every
thing from diamond ring to a sewing
machine can be bought, there is no need
of going elsewhere for supplying either
the luxuries or the necessaries of life. And
now consult our advertising columns to
learn where to find these.

Misplaced Charity.

The colored woman, Madame B. T.
Louis, who came here last week from
Oberlin, bearing letters of introduction
from reputable persons, and remained un-
til Saturday, did notfavorably impress our
people, though she succeeded in obtaining
some money. She would have received
further substantial aid, if she had not de-
stroyed the sympathy awakened by the re
cital of her losses, by her greed and indel-
icacy in asking for so many things, by
making her personal wants so freely
known, and by soma statements contradic-
led by facts, which awakened suspicious
OF her trustworthiness. She has evidently
had good opportunities, is graceful and
fluent talker, says she is a native of the
West Indies, was educated in England,
has travelled in Europe, and is the wife of
a Methodist Minister cf the Louisiana
Conference.
She is ssking aid for the sufferers by the
overflow of the Mississippi last Spring.
But it does not matter how worthy the
cause she represents, whom she has indu-
ced to aid her, or what credentials she car
ries, no person should be encouraged to
travel over the country securing funds for
any purpose whatever, who has the effront-
cry and the want of judgment shown by
this woman.
She may have been reared in luxury,
unaccustomed to self denial, and used to
make her wishes freely known, and to
have them promptly complied with, but
that does not excuse her for intruding
herself upon strangers, being rude to them
and like spoiled child unblushingly
begging for luxuries that have no more
suitability to the wants of the flood suffer
ers than they have 10 the needs of the
Egyptians. Christian benevolence cannot
afford to be merely sentimental, but its
projects, as much as any other, should be
governed by the ordinary rules of business
sense. 1t is not pleasant to expose wrong
if we have discovered it. but il must bt
done in justice to long suffering public
A great many of these itinerant beggars
should be advised to make themselves sc
necessary at home that they could not bt
spared to travel leisurely over the country
faring sumptuously, withoutwork, and be
coming demoralized by systematic anc
professional sponging until they have nc
relish for the ordinary methods of getting
! q living.
