Childhood is the miracle of the ages
Joy is moth with wings of dust
To grow old to men is to become
young to the angels.
Woman's friendship is theory that
never yet has been put to practice.
The pages of our lives that TO the
world seem darkest, in Gods eyes NAV
be luminous as stars.
Fame is to give our hearts blood. that
a violet may bloom from our dust in an
hundred years.
The years are usurers that filch US Of
beauty. and love, and joy, and give us
no coin in return.
To guilty soul the fall of leaf
sounds like the crack of doom.
Spring is the sunrise of the year;
death is the sunrise of the soul
Love leaves more ruin in his path
than war.
Imagination is the perfume of the
mind.
Fate is the dark shadow that forever
crosses our sunshine.
When the Devils garments are
whitest be means the most mischief
Harmony is Gods voice in the soul.
Revenge is the brutality of little
mind. FANNY DRISCOLL.

Misht.

Who is doing all this misfit work on
carpets? They are advertised all over
the country. Not only misfit carpet,
but we have stores in this city which
pretend to sell misfit clothing. What
goes it all mean? Who believes that a
business equal to hundreds of thousands
of dollars a year can be carried on sole
" through the mistakes of incompetent
workmen? AS near as we can figure it
out there are two or three million men
in the United States just now doing
nothing else but manufacturing mistit
carpets, coats, vests and pantaloons. 1t
looks very much as though an army of
blind men had got to work somewhere
making up job lots of misfits. If this
thing keeps on there is no knowing just
where it will stop. The first thing we
know there will be mistit boots and
shoes, hats and caps. gauze undershirts,
suspenders. carriers, lace curtains, wall
paper, kid gloves, hoop-skirts, striped
corsets and Balbriggan hose. Some
body will be out on the road with red
wagon and patent leather dashboard
peddling misiit collins. 1t has got so in
this world that man can't tell exactly
whether the next thing that turns up
will be something else or entirely differ

A most interesting discovery was
made near Carthage, Tennessee, recent
ly. Mr.. Carol Gibbs, while blowing.
found very ancient Indian idol, though
the exquisite finish of the figure and its
oriental posture point to its having been
made by that great prehistoric race
which spread over this country before
the Wild Red Man obtained possession.
If it was made by the Red Man, it was
certainly made at very early date, be-
fore he had lost those Eastern ideas
which the figure shows its maker to
have possessed. Upon its back is found
the figure 1919, but the surface of the
letters when compared with the general
surface of the body, shows them to have
been placed there great while after
the figure was completed. 1t is made
of compact yellow sandstone, which is
as endurable as marble, yet time has
| made great ravages upon it. 1t is six
teen inches in height. The outlines of
| the features are very well preserved, in
| fact, the face is very little damaged. 1t
| has high cheek bones, flat face and
| prominent chin. The arms are well
shaped and well proportioned. 1t is
represented in sitting posture, with its
legs crossed in oriental fashion. There
is some attempt at delineation of drape-
ry. but time has only left the outlines
so that no definite conclusion can be
| reached on this score. The idol is a
creditable piece of sculpture for even a
highly civilized race, and was certainly
made by no novice inth art 1t is now
in the possession of Mr.. w. E. Never,
of this place, who has placed it in his
large collection of Indian relics. He
has also recently added an agate NOR
tar, six inches in diameter, to his eollec.
ton of Indian relics. 1t was also made
by the Indians. 1t weighs twenty-five

An Artfnl Enrinaer.

While Gen. Malone was President of
the East Tennessee Road, one of the
engineers had a fireman put on him that
he did not like. so he resolved to get rid
of him. One day. just after the first

discussing Gen. Malone, and the fire.

the Genelal good ''cussing.n
'.Why don't YOU do it, theng re-

Yes. and get fired" sententiously
said the fireman.
Not much" replied the engineer.
You can never get along on this road
until you cuss Malone. | cusSed him
once for every blankety blank thing that
has happened since he was in charge,
and have got along all right"
The fireman concluded he would do
the same thing. So the next trip to
Richmond he went to Mahone's office
and heaped on him such a torrent of
abuse that nearly took his breath away.
Malone heard him through. and then
told the fireman TO come and get his
money after the next trip. There SEEM
ed to be hitch somewhere. Things
seemed to be different from what he ex-
pected, so he went to consult his friend,
the engineer.

''you didn't cuss him to his face, did
you?"
.sOf course l did," the fireman said,
''didn't you tell me that you did the

some words that contained not very
complimentary allusion to the heated
flames of the lower regions; why,
when cussed Malone, he was in Rich

Well, the fireman got bounced, and

BreWster's Bnncome.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. Attorney
General Brewster is really and truly
angry. y few days ago he issued a
pompous manifesto to United States
marshals, which was printed in three
dispatches. The circular came under
the head t confidential printing Mt the
government printing Office, and the
angry attorney general called Public
Printer Rounds to account for the leak
age. 1t is said that Rounds confident
of the integrity of his official force, used
some very practical language to Mr..
Brewster, and Brewster, being IN state
OF mental exhiliration ut the time, re-
torted in his choicest vocabulary. He
also threatened to bring the matter TO
the attention Of the president Rounds
told him he could bring and be id,
or words TO that effect. However, an
investigation was ordered both at the
government printing Office and at the
department of justice and the suspected
parties placed under close surveillance.
The result of this curiously enough
developed the fact that the leakage was
in Mr.. Brewster's own office.

A DEMOCRATIC DELUeE.
The Wave of Bourbonism Once More Sweeps Owe,
the Country.

Inc wave Oh boHThOnism once More Sweeps Over
the Country.
| The election returns from all over the
country serve to Indicate return OF
the tidal wave of Democracy. which
swept over the republic some years ago.
Everything appears to have been swept
before it and old time Republican ma
jorities are engulfed in manner SIM
ply bewildering to the oldest politician.
In Grant county, through the combined
opposition of Democracy, anti Hazel
tonism and prohibitionsm combined
with an insurmountablc apathy on the
part of Republicans, the Republican
member of congress. Mr.. Hazelton.
goes out OF the county with less than
two hundred majority, the party loses
one member of the assembly, Stevens of
the second, and the county ticket pulls
through, in some cases with bare
majority. The full vote IS given in
another column in which the full effect
of the disaster can be studied. as to the
result in the third district advices up to
the time of going to press indicate the
election of Jones, the democratic can
didate for congress by between two and
three thousand majority. just what
the people of Grant county think of
boilers is shown in the vote of Keyes il
this county, which can better be classed
under the head of scattering than any
other manner, being bare thirty eight.
Returns from the eastern states are of
the most discouraging character. Tele-
graphic reports show large flop in the
vote of New York and the probable
election of Cleveland, Democrat, for
Governor, by from 10000 to %, 900 ma
jority.
In Massachusetts Butler, Democrat, is
polling heavy vote and making large
gains, while in Pennsylvania the indie
pendents have succeeded in doing q
smashing business, more satisfactory to
themselves than otherparties concerned.
1t is not defeat but a genuine rout
but there is every evidence that it will
serve to wake the people up to their
duty in 1891, by which time they will
have become SO thoroughly Disguised
with Bourbon rule as to roll up the usual
Republican majority for President,
position as which the Democracy now
have their eyes ''sot'' but which to
them will prove but teasing phantom
The vote on the constitutional amend
ments was light but with majority in
favor of their adoption.
