TWO KINDS OF CANDIDATES.

In some respects the present cam
paign promises to be the most laugh
able in the annals of the State. Two
species of candidates are in the field.
One belongs to the tricky, suave and
cute class, who began to lay wires about
six months before the Convention
meets and then 60 about insisting
that they do not want any office within
the gift Of the people, but would sink
all personal considera tions and enter
the field if the party got into the last
ditch and needed Moses to pull them
through. These men get into back
rooms and put up states with them
selves at the head, hire gas-bags to run
about and nominate them on every
street corner and then pose as re-
luctant candidate who is literally being
dragged to the front by the enthused
aud excited populace. These men de-
ceive nobody, for every movement of
their person and every line of their
faces proclaim the fact that they are
dying to run. These people almost
always get left. The dodge lacks
everything which makes dodge sue
cessful, and was worn out in the old
Roman era. The other class comprises
those who press themselves to the fore
and blow their own penny trumpets,
under the impression that the party
will take it 1or hugle blast calling
them to victory. These little whiffets
crawl out of their ebscurity and clam
NOR for the places which only ought to
be filed by men whose names are
known to the people, and whose past
services enti:le them to recognition. A
lot of these little ours will be yelping
at the heels of both Conventions this
year. TIE wocds are full of them al
ready. The party which has the least
amount of this refuse on its ticket will
sweep the Nevada pot this Fall.

DEMOCRATIC DIsCORD.

The Chronicle of last night, after
making a persistent fight for Adams, is
compelled to repudiate his j"rryman-
dering tactics in the eastern part of
the State. While claiming to be a sort
of "popular Billy among the people,
he was afraid to submit his name to the
ties. Of the primaries in Nye and Lam
der, hut fixed the Central Committee to
appoint delegates pledged to Adams.
This is foolish and unpolitical, as few
of these tricks will give Canavan's
friends good excuse for refusing their
support if Adams is nominated. The
Democracy are already boiling mad
over it. Adams has got his little
wedge into the Democratic log and the
split is bound to come.
Druggist Bronson of Oberlin, Ohio.
s!yly sold spirits to his customers, and
the Rev. Mr.. Brand one Sunday
preached sermon for Brouson's es-
course the minister addressed Bronson
thus: "GOOd men shalt breathe freer
at thy death and utter thanksgiving
when thou art gone. Men shall place
thy gravestore AZ monument and
testimony that a plague is stayed; and
as, borne on the blast, thy guilty spirit
whistles toward the gates OF hell, the
hideOus shrieks of those Whom thou
hast destroyed shall pierce thee-hel's
first welcome" The exhortation seems
to have been taken to heart by Bronson,
fer he has begun suit for damages.
Jewett Adams is considerably
Agglieved that Matt Caravan should
have had the bad taste to run for the
same office that the great poker player
had decided to corral. Adams has long
labored under the impression that he
had claims on the party to which he
had secured some sort of a patent.
Eight years of holding Office and draw
ing a salary without giving scarcely
any equivalent seems to have acted
upnn him very much as the meat diet
Of Caesar.

Unanimous on Dancing

A great many of the young PEG
pie OF Charleston are attending
dancing school, We are all but
unanimous on the following points
First. If they are not Christians
their learning to dance will, for the
present, tend to keep them from
learning the way of life. Admit
ting that they could become Chris
tlans and continue to dance, vet we
all know, by experience and obser
walton that they will not.
Second. If they are protesting
Christians, very few people, especi.
ally among the unconverted, have
any confidence in their religion
Nobody expects them to be instru-
mental in leading any one to
Christ.
Third. 1t is understood by every.
body, even without knowledge who
they are, that they have not been
noted for eminent piety-that they
are hot the "poor in spirit, "the
meek, "they which do hunger and
thirst after righteousness" "the
merciful, "the pure In heart" "the
peacemakers, they which are per
secuted for righteousness sake"
Explain it as we may, we have all
observed the fact, that those who
enjoy spiritual religion do not en-
joy dancing.
Fourth. The world regards all
Christian parents as inconsistent
who send their children to dancing
school, OF give them permission to
attend.
The world is pretty good Judge
as to what aChristian ought to be /;
and if we would say to outsiders
to-day, well tolerate and encour-
age dancing in our churches if you
think it BEST" they would answer,
"no; church members should live
above such things, and the church
es can't have any good influence
unless they do"
We would that the young people
of Charleston were so eager after
true spiritual happiness, as they
are after that which the wisest of
men has declared to be nothing but
vanity.-The Olive Branch.

Good Company.

One evening a lady Of New York,
while on her way home at a late
hour without an escort, was ap-
preached, as the boat on which they
rode neared its landing, by man
who asked,
care you alone?"
"No, sir" was the reply; and she
stepped off without further inter
ruption when the boat touched.
Il thought you were alone" said
the fellow, stepping to her side
again.
II am not" replied the lady.
"Why, don't see anyone; who
is with you ?"
God Almighty and the angels,
sir; am never alone"
"You keep too good company for
me, madam" said the fellow; ard
he shot out of sight, leaving the
lady to enjoy her good company.

Good Advice.

Mr.. R. J. Burdette, he Of the
Ha,ckeye, gives the following advice
to young man:
"Mv son, when you hear man
growing and scolding because
Moody gets 5000 a week for preach
ing Christianity, you will perceive
that he never worries minute be-
cause Ingersoll gets 5000 a night
for preaching atheism. You will
observe that the man who is unut-
terably shocked because F. Murphy
gets $50 week for temperance
work seems to think it is all right
when the barkeeper takes in twice
as much money in single day,
The laborer is worthy Of his hire,
my boy, and he is just as worthy of
it in the pulpit as upon the stump.
Is the man who is honestly trying
to save your immortal soul worth
less than the man who is only try
ing his level best to go to Congress ?
Isn't Moody doing as good work as
lngersoll? Isn't John B. Cough
as much the friend Of humanity
and society as the bartender? Do
you want to get all the good in the
world for nothing, so that you may
be able to pay Il high price for the
bad? Remember, my boy, the
good things in the world are always
the cheapest. Spring water costs
less than corn whisky; a box of
cigars will buy two or three Bibles;
a gallon of old brandy costs more
than a barrel of flour; a full hand
at poker often costs a man more in
twenty minutes than his church
subscription amounts to in three
years; Il state election costs more
than a revival of religion; you can
sleep in church every Sunday
morning for nothing, if you're
mean enough to dead-beat your
lodgings in that way, but nap in
a Pullman car costs you two dollars
every time; fifty cents for the cir
Gus and a penny for the little ones
to put in the missionary box; one
dollar for the theatre and a pair of
old trousers frayed at the end, bag
gy as to the knee and utterly bust
ed as to the dome, for the Michigan
sufferers; the dancing lady who
tries to wear the skirt of the dress
under her arms and the waist
around her knees and kicks her
slippers clear over the orchestra
chairs every night, gets 5000 a
week, and the city missionary 5000
year; the horse race scoops in
$1,000 the first day and the church
lair lasts a week, works twenty-five
or thirty of the best women in
America nearly to death, and
comes out $40 in debt-why, my
BOY, if you ever find yourself sneer-
Ing or soothing because once in
while you hear of a preacher get
ting a living, or even luxurious
salary, or temperance worker
making money, go out in the dark
and feel ashamed of yourself, and if
you don't feel above kicking mean
man, kick yourself. Precious little
does religion and charity cost the
old world, my boy, and when the
money it does is flung into it's
face, like bone to dog, the do

WORDS.
BY SUSAN COOLIDGE.

little, tender word,
wrapped in little rhyme,
Sent out upon the passing air,
As seeds are scattered everywhere
In the sweet summertime.
little, idle word,
Rreathed in an idle hour;
Between two laughs that word was said.
forgotten as soon as uttered,
And vet the word had power.
Away they sped, the words:
one like winged seed,
lit on a soul which gave it room,
And straight began to bud and bloom
In lovely word and deed.
The other careless word,
Borne on an evil air,
Found rich soil and ripened fast
Its rank and poisonous growth and cast
Fresh seeds to work elsewhere.
The speakers of the words,
Passed by and marked, one day,
The fragrant blossoms. dewy wet,
The baneful flowers thickly set
In clustering array.
And neither knew his word -
one smiled, and one did sigh:
"How strange and sad, ;" one said, sit is,
People should do such things as this,
I'm glad it was not l."
And, "What wondrous word
To reach so far, so hight"
The other said, what joy 'twould be
To sen out words so helpfully;
wish that it were l."

Carries Her Point.

1t takes woman, after all tc
carry her point when she really
sets out. We clip the following il
lustration of it from an exchange
Mrs CORTLAND, popular lectur-
er of Missouri after completing an
address in the Court House, at
Butler, on Friday night, missed
the passenger train for Rich Hill.
With her daughter she tried to
get through on the freight train,
but was informed that no passen-
gers could be taken. She then de-
manded to be shipped as live stock
and as there was no rule against
this, she and her daughter were
weighed, ticketed and consigned to
the editor of the Gazette as cattle.

AND YET,
She Cannot Vote.

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
than whom few public speakers
have shown themselves more ready
with apt illusions and sallies of wit,
has seldom brought down the
house" with a single sentence more
successfully that hedid last Monday
evening. Plymouth Church was
crowded to the doors with one Of its
characteristic audiences, and Miss
Frances. E. Willard, of Chicago, de-
livered lecture on the work of the
Woman's Gospel Temperance Union
which was received with great en-
thusiasm, AS the prolonged APP
plause at the close of her lecture
died way Mr.. Beecher assembled the
platform slowly, thoughtfully, and
stood for a moment regarding-al-
most staring at-the lecturer, with
an expression Of mingled wonder
and admiration. Then, turning to
the audience, he remarked, slowly
and meditatively, emphasizing the
words with mods of his head "And
-yet-she cannot vote!" 1t is hard
ly necessary to add that it was
some time before the audience was
quiet enough for him to add in
ringing tones: "And are you not
ashamed of it ?"-Erchdn0e,

Anecdote of A Great Naturalist

A good story is told of Agassiz
the great naturalist. His father
destined him for commercial life
and was impatient at his devotion
to frogs, snakes and fishes. His
vacations he spent in making Jour
neys on foot through Europe, ex-
amlning the different species of
fresh water fishes. He came to
London with letters of introduction
to Sir Roderick Murchison. "You
have been studying nature" said
the grea. man bluntly. "What
have you learned The lad was
timid, not sure at that moment
that he had learned anything. II
think" he said, at last, 81 know a
little about fishes" Every well.
There will be a meeting of the Roy
al Society tonight. l will take
you with me there" All of the
great scientific savants of England
belonged to this society. That
evening, towards its close, Sir Ro-
derrick rose and said: Il have a
young friend here from Switzerland,
who thinks he knows something
about fishes; how much | have a
fancy to try. There is nnder this
cloth, a perfect skeleton of fish
which existed long before man"
He then gave the precise locality
in which it had been found, with
one or two other facts concern
ing it. The species to which the
specimen belonged was, of course,
extinct. Can you sketch for me
on the black board your idea of this
fish p said Sir Roderick. Agassiz
took up the chalk, hesitated mo-
ment, and then sketched rapidly a
skeleton fish. Sir Roderick held
up the specimen. The portrait
was correct in every bone and line.
The grave old doctors burst into
loud applause. "Sir," Agassiz said,
on telling the story, chat was the
proudest moment of my life-no,
the happiest, for [ knew, now, my
father would consent that l should
give my life to science"

A CHEERFUL WoRD.-Did you
ever go out in the morning with a
heart so depressed and saddened
that pail seemed spread over all
the world? But on meeting some
friend who spoke cheerfully for a
minute or two, if only upon indif-
ferent matters you have felt your
self wonderfully lightened. Every
child dropping into your house on
an GRAND has brought in ray of
sunshine which did not depart
when he went his way again. 1t is
blessed thing to speak cheerful
word when you can. "The heart
knoweth its own bitterness" the
world over, and good words to such
hearts "are like apples of gold in
pictures of silver" Even stra myers
we meet casually by the way, in
the travellers waiting-room, are I'M
consciously influenced by the tone
we use. |. is the one with pleas
ant words on his lips to whom
strangers In strange lands apply
for advice and direction in their
perplexities. Take it as a compli-
ment if some wayfarer comes to you
to direct him which street or which
train to take; your manner has
struck him as belonging to one he
can trust. 1t is hard sometimes to
speak pleasant word when the
shadows rest on our own hearts :;
but nothing will tend more to
tighten our spirits than doing good
to another. When you have no
opportunity to speak cheering
word, you can often send full
beam of sunshine into the heart of
some sorrowing, absent friend by
sitting down and writing a good,
Warm-h hearted letter.
