Col Cash, who killed Col Shannon in n
duel, year ago, announces himself as an in
dependent candidate for Congress in the fifth
Georgia district.
During the fiscal year ending July /, 1889,

It was left for the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal to discover that, "Mr, Arthur, being re-
nowned fisherman, may have vetoed the river
and harbor bill because of his honest opinion
that the improvements named in the bill
would certainly scarce the fish"
Daring the late session of Congress the
President sent to the Senate 1860 messages
containing nominations This was the larg-
est number of executive messages sent to the
Senate during any session since the war.
The number of the nominations made has
not yet been tabulated, but it is unusually
large. OF the nominations made only seven

To make practical application OF religious
truths to the common occurrences of life is a
tendency on the part of children that has often
been noticed by their instructors Their
method of assooiatng ideas, however, il some
times startling as for instance, in the follow
ing case that was recently noticed in Boston.
A three-y year old boy was standing at an open
window beside his mother, when fly came
crawling along the sill "Whose fly is zat ?"
asked the youngster. "That is Gods hy,"
said the parent In response. "Oh tits, is it ?"
rejoined the child. "Well, if zat's Dod's fly
dess I'll send him to Dod," and bringing
down his fist on the hapless insect the fly was
suddenly gathered to its ancestors.
There is an old beau at Austin, Col. Pretti-
man, who is 75 years old, but as spry as any
body, and is firmly persuaded that he is the
handsomest man in the city. He was present
at a little social gathering few nights hgo,
and the lecture of Oscar Wilde at San Anto-
MO came up for discussion. II was stated
that he was very handsome man. Oscar

he thinks handsomer than himself, remarked

The MENNoNITEs OF MANITOBA Away out
in Manitoba the Mennonitss are divided into
two parties, each of which is waging against
the other a war of unrelenting bitterness.
The question involved is not one concerning
original sin, future damnation, or the ever
lasting punishment of the wicked. Were it
any of these, the contest might be less bitter.
1t is one of the most petty matters in dress,
or rather in dress trimming. One side is
known as the hook and-eye party. The 9TH
er is called the button party. The old fash
ion among the Mennonites was for the breth-
rem to fasten their coats with hooks and eyes.
The progressive among them have recently
introduced the fashion of using buttons and
buttonholes, just as the worlds people do
but still sdhering to the practice of having
the garment cut straight in front from the
neck down. The hook-and-eye party de-
nounce the use of buttons as sinful conformi-
ty to the ways of wicked world, and regard
the wearers of buttons as the enemies of pure
and undefled religion. The buttonites in
sist that there is no sin in buttons, and that
they are far more convenient than hooks and
eyes. The hook-and-eye party can make
some show of scripture for its side of the con-
troversy, for both hooks and eyes are men,
toned in the Bible, while buttons are not

An old monkey sat costly asleep in a snug
corner, with friend nesting against him and
indulging likewise in a comfortable snooze.
Presently a young skylsrker approached
them somewhat timidly, and squstting be-
side the friend, sat quiet for some seconds,
then suddenly, as if possessed by some ma
licious inspiration, he reached his arm out
cautiously behind the slumbering friend and
gave the elderly monkey a whacking box on
the ear. He, waking in just wrath, and un-
suspicious of the truth-for the culprit was
now shammipg sleep and looked the picture Of
innocence-hew upon his friend with an in
dictment for assault, and chivied him with
monstrous clamor round the cage, while the
culprit sat regarding them and jabbering with
Joy. Some little time after, the performance
was repeated; the old monkey and his friend
having settled in the corner, and the assault
and wrongful punishment occurring as be-
fore. Once again the trick was tried, but the
friend who had twice suffered, was shRmming
sleep this time, and caught the culprit in the
act, and, with the help of the old monkey,
gave him a good drubbing, which, indeed,
he well deserved All tie Year Round.

WEAR OF Com AND BANK NoTEs The rel
ative cost in wear and tear of gold coin as
compared with bank notes has lately been in
vestigated in England, and the advantage has
been found to be largely with the coin. To
manufacture a million of sovereigns cost $10,-
600, or a about cent apiece In fifteen
years they lose in weight one-half of one per
cent, or about $25, 900, and become too light
for further use. This makes their total ex-
pense as currency for the fifteen years 1885,
900. The paper and printing of a million
one pound notes would cost, it is estimated,
four cents apiece, or $40, 600 at the outset,
and during fifteen years they would have to
be replaced at least three times, or, with act
i've use, six times, thus requiring an outlay of
certainly $16O, 900, and perhaps $3.50, 900,
for thesam period that million of sovereigns
would remain in circulation.

General Beaver has already made sixty speeches
in the Pennsylvania campaign.
Congressman Morrisons fight for reelection in
the eighteenth Illinois district isa hard one. Ills
extreme views on the tariff are hurting him with
the manufacturers and wOrklngmen. Besides, he
has some local party differences and popular
rival to contend with. The district gave about
coo Republican majority in 1889, and good judges
think this will be Increased in November.

MFR. Blaine and the Negro.

Professor Langston, in conversation
with the writer, yesterday, remarked
with much emphasis that Mr.. Blaine, in
his recent interview on the Virginia
coalition, had not seen fit to manifest
any interest in the welfare Of the negro,
but had expended all his sympathy on
those who had lost their property by the
war. This eminent leader and champion
of the colored race is native Nirginian,
and will in few days commence cam
yass of that State in behalf ofthe Coalition
candidates for Congress. He dwelt with
energy and feeling on the fact that Mr..
Blaine totally ignores the existence OF
the 10000 voting negro citizens OF Nir-
ginia, and has no word to say as to what
Shall be done for them. This is u sig
nificant omission. Mr.. Blaine knows
that the negroes were against his aspira'
tions in 1875 and $780, because in 1875
he deserted them to win the applause oi
the great newspapersw which were thende

press of Virginia and Washington is on
in full cry for this nimble leader, who il

Mr.. Blaine's Washington organ, the
Post, is never so eloquent as when ex-
communicating Republicans who will not
follow that erratic gentleman into the
Bourbon camp, except when 1t pauses to
indulge in melodramatic and blood curd-
ling phrases over the wicked men
who opposed the appointment of Robert
son as collector of New York, and by so
doing caused Guiteau to assassinate
the President who made the appoint
ment. OF course the editor of the Post
would be an irreclaimable ass If he
meant n word of all this, and so it must
be credited to the very low estimate he
puts on the understanding of some of his
readers If Presidents were to be placed
in danger of their lives every time they
are harshly criticised for appoint
ments made by them, or for any
thing else, the Post would have had
President Arthur murdered long ago.
Well, our morning contemporary and
Mr.. Blaine are getting along well to-
gethe The honeymoon appears to be
happy one. Let them enjoy it. Re-
publicans must not take the chidings oi
that lively journal too much to heart
Its editor will never be real kind to those
Republicans who carry their Republican,
ism to the extent of hurting the Demo
cratic party.

THE SPECTRAL BoATMAN.


BY the rolling, dark, cold river,
Where the timid aspens shiver,
culver, tremble in the damp,
Till the glow-wornl lights her lamp.
There spectral boatman pale,
Meath the aspen waits the gale
Waits until the north winds breath
Chills the autumn flowers to death.
When the north winds sweep the moor,
With n muttered growl and roari
When the waters, foaming high,
Wet the fen-bats as they hy-
Then the spectral boatman pale
Screams In concert with the gole-
And with icy, bony hand
Pushes swiftly out from Land
When the pearly day In fright
Hides her white lace from the night,
Then he screams in mad delight,
And like bird of prey in flight,
Skins the seething headlong stream,
Guided only by the CLEAN
OF the lightnings lurid fiash
Which across the heavens dash,
To the thunders deafening crash.
