nounceS that he is a Democrat.
The New York Sun thinks a second
trial of the star-routers will hardly
pay.
Speaker Keifer thinks the most the
Democrats can do is to elect six OF
the twenty-one congressman in Ohio.
The other fifteen he believes will be
Republicans.
General Butler was in Congress ten
years, says the Boston Dahl AdUer-
hser, and in no single instance did he
vote against the annual River and
Harbor bill. In every case but one,
when he was absent, he voted to pass
the bill under a suspension of the
rules. In every single case he voted
for the highest appropriations recon-
mended by conference committees.
And this is the distinguished economist
who IS to lead the refOrmers of the
Democratic party. Bah! sit will be

American ladies may we'll take a
hint from Mrs. Lantry, the famous
English beauty, who said to a news
paper interviewer GAS the only Sis
ter Of six stout brothers, l shared
their outdoor sports in a most bOyish
fashion," 1t was not until some years
after her marriage to Mr.. Lantry that
she was introduced in London society,
so that all but few years of her life
are covered in the following state
ment: "My life in Jersey had been
spent almost entirely in the open air,
and as Mr.. Lantry was fond of yacht
ing, l became an expert as a yachts
woman, and was very fond of all sorts
Of outdoor exercise"
The London Times prints the fol-
lowing: Cairo, Sept. 20. The fol-
lowing account of the collapse of Alb
dellal Pasha's resistance has been re-
ceived: Abdellal summoned his black
regiment and said he expected them
to fight till the last. He declared that
Arab had turned traitor and fled, but
that Kafr-el-Dwar was making a he
r0ic resistance. The soldiers asked
why they should risk their lives for
Arab and Abdellal. The latter re-
piled that they were not fighting for
him, but for their country and their
religion and the CaIiph. They should
be ready, he said, to die as he was.
The soldiers replied, then die, and
shot him through the stomach.
One would think that of all the diff
ticult things to steal and carry off
through big city, a fulI-grown hog
of the western pattern would be about
the most so, but three men are now
being tried in Chicago for stealing
S5OO,0OO worth of live porkers during
the last three years. 1t seems that
they formed partnership in 1879
with man who had the keys to the
stock yard belonging to a packing
and with his help have been
accustomed to drive out lots of 40 or
90 two or three times q week, and no
one has suspected them until recently.
Now the keeper Of the keys has turn
ed States evidence, and they are likely
to quit the pork business.
In the United States court, Judge
Cox presiding, the other day, Mr..
Bigelow, counsel for Sergeant Mason,
permission to file petition
for hGbeas corpus and made a motion
to show cause why the same should
not be granted and the order allowed.
Judge Cox granted the order without
liking day, but it is made returnable
at Utica, probably, October lst., to
be heard by him and Judge Wallace.
An exchange calls attention to a
new swindle for use on unsuspecting
farmers This time a fellow comes
along driving shining rig and sells
carpets by the sample. He offers a
,hree-ply ingram at thirty-six and a
lalf cents yard, and genuine Brus-
sells at forty-three and a half cents. |
The farmer selects the pattern he
wants, and the agent writes out the
number of yards, the price, etc. The
armer signs the order and he never
ees or hears of the carpet man any
more, but he finds a note signed by
lin due in about thirty days.
Forty-fve representatives of the
dissatisfied colored Republicans of the
ourth Congressional district met at
Greensboro, Ala, and nominated
lerritt K. Hawsee, colored, for the
ong term. Craig, white, the nominee
t the regular convention was de-
ounced as a non-representative Re-
