Mixed Society.

The door of Butler street cabin
stood open yesterday evening. Mrs.
Emma Alexander stood on the thresh-
hold, the last rays Of the sleepy sun
making her face shine like polished
boot. Presently George Houston
came along, and had his face been
white bis nose would have been red.
He wanted to give his promonotory
time to become snow capped again, or,
in other words, wanted to sleep of his
supesfuous beer. Mrs. Emma also
threw herself into an attitude OF re-
pose, when another chronoric lord of
creation opened the door, another
dandy darky walked in aud went for
the sleeper. All then visited the cal
aboose under the guidance of a police
man. ALT DodsOn, the last man,
when called on to explain the differ.
ence between his name and that Of the
woman and yet the identity of their
abode. He laid claim to the woman
on the ground that he met her hus-
band in Virginia five years ago and he
had given her to him. The court
refused to recognize this as legal
claim and fined him five dollars.

EARLY POLITICS IN INDIANA.
What IL Cost an Adams Man to
Cali Andy Jackson a
Coward.
indianapolis Journal.


From 1928 to 1882 party politics
took on a personal rancor that haC
never been known before, aud has
never been surpassed since. Nothing
was more common than for the politi-
cal discussions held at crossroads
groceries to terminate in knock. down
of one or both disputants. One OF
these encounters reached the Dear
born Circuit Court in the form of a
charge for assault and battery, on an
appeal from the Justices court.
Miles @. Eggleston, for many years
one OF the most respected Judges in
the State, was on the circuit which
included Lawrenceburg. The fact of
the assault was not controverted,
the defense relying upon the
plea of Justification. The tes-
timony developed that at a
certain shooting match in which
turkeys, whisky and politics mingled
promiscuously, a certain I" Adams
man" had said that Andy" Jackson
was a coward. This was too much
Tor the Jackson man, who was expect
cd to do the fighting on such occasions,
to endure, whereupon he went for the
defamer of Jackson in a manner which
was more energetic than comfortable,
The result was a prosecution before a
Justice, who who happened to be an
Adams man, OF course the jackson
man was fined, and, inasmuch as the
Circuit Court was composed of two
Associates" who were jackson men as
against Judge Eggleston who was an
Adams man, of cou;se he appealed.
The defense pleaded justification ON
the ground that to call jackson a
coward was enough to provoke any
good jackson man so that the impulse
to knock down the offender was ire
sistible, and being conducted by Amos
Lane before the court without the in
tervention OF a jury, he dwelt upon the
Nervousness of making such charge
against jackson. After the close of
the argument Judge Eggleston turned
to his associates to consult and decide.
He first addressed Judge Cotton, the
preacher. poet Judge, who knew no
law and very little gospel, but did
half the marrying done in the country
by virtue Of his double author
ity as Judge and preacher,
and because he always made a
verse or two of doggerel for the occa.
sion. II don't think the provocation
sufficient to justify the assault" said
Judge Eggleston. but / do" re-
piled Judge Cotton. why I'd knock
down any man who, in my presence,
should call General jackson a COW
ard" "Well, | call him coward,
said Judge Eggleston. At this Judge
Cotton struck Judge Eggleston
stingipg blow SO nearly bordering on
the malicious, yet so humorous, as to
create a doubt as to its real intent.
Before any serious damage was done
the beligerents were parted by the
intervention Of the lawyers and the
other Judge, but the fighting jackson
man was acquitted.

"Malinda Jane got to cuttin' up her

said Jones boy, "and dad up and told
her if she didn't let up aud behave
herself he'd pack her of to the
farm with the other six rebellious
critters"
What's the matter at your rancho

her beauty and shape; there wasn't a
darn bit of celestial glory yabout it. She

Malinda Jane fired up like a gobhler:
then she spit in dads face; called him
John Taylor's last years fool, and
vanked a handful of hair out'n his

"Whoopeel but it was fuU; dad bore
testimony to the truth of this gospel
by giving Malinda a kick in the stom.
ach, bending her up like a grasshop-
per. Malinda then got sidewiper on
the old man and sent him to grass like
a true Christian martyr; then played
that beautiful church hymn on him
Joe and Brig are Little Angels Now
with breOmstick accompaniment"
docs your family dwell together in
unity this way much? Is there great
oneness every day in the family?"
asked the Brown boy.
"Gobs OF 1t. But Malinda goes to
the ranch tomorrow, and when her
afectioaate husband puts her in that
carrot field to hold her own against
the other cattle, she'll wish she hadn't
asked dad for socks. Socks don t
build up the kingdom of God. Socks
don't grow on the tithing rod bushes.
Socks don't stand the racket of our
everlasting gospel"
And Jones boy and Browns boy
rubbed their noses together, lit their
cigarettes and parted.

ALivlng Doll Baby.
RondOut Courier.


Sunday night little girl was met on
one of the streets in this city by
woman who had in her arms bundle,
and who stopped the child, at the
same time placing the bundle in the
little ones arms; and, after telling her
it was a doll baby and to run right
home with it. disappeared from view.
The child made all possible haste
home to show her parents the nice
gift of the kind hearted woman; and
on opening the door her mother caught
sight of the bundle in her daughter s
arms, and at once asked her what it
was; she replied that it was a nice
dolly, given to her few minutes be
fore by a lady she met on the street.
On taking off the wraps that were
around it, it was discovered indeed to
be nice dolly, but it was alive, which
fact was fully attested by the baby
setting up such cry that ii
took good deal of coaxing and pat
ting to quiet it. The baby is about
four days old.

The latest story on Mr.. j. H. Hav-

we are not prepared to defend. That
insatiate gobbler ofnovelties and mon
strosities is now in London looking
about for chances to re-establish him
self as the prince of American mana
gers. In his wandering up and down
he chanoed to learn one morning that
the Duke of Edinburg, who is a fue
violinilt, intended to play at a char.
table concert, and that he would
undertake no less a task than
the playing Of the obligation
to GounOd's "Ave Maria" while
Marie Roze sung. Instantly the
highly electric mind Of the American
manager conceived a project He
philosophical with himself that it
would be brilliant coup d'etat to Sc
cure his Royal Highness for tour Of
this country, and rig him around in
gold lace and coronet. Filled with
this sublime ambition. Mr.. Haverly

Knoxville Tribune. The platform
adopted at the Democratic convention
is in all respects wise instrument if
we are to consider it from practical
point of view. 1t is Just also, because
it emanates from the people, and a
people who can foster no malign mo
tive nor have in view any personal
speculation or anything else except
the motive and material interests Of
their native Commonwealth. The
truth is it is but seldom that the peo-
pie ever make their own platforms
but choose from many that one which
suits them best. The present platform
has the merits of having come quite
directly frem the people. The pend.
ing issues had been so thoroughly re-
counted before the convention assem-
bled that the people had learned for
themselves their relations to the vari-
GUS policies, and had not hesitated to
freely express their opinions and to
instruct their delegates.
The delegates we're true representa-
tives of the masses, and despite their
regard for old party leaders and the
prestige;of craftsmanship, the voice OF
the people was heard and their inter-
est consulted.

Prospects of a Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals.
Nashville World.

NASHVILLE World.
A short time since the World sug-
gested, in view Of the fact that many
horses and other animals were treated
with such carelessness and heartless
ness by their owners and drivers, that
an association for the prevention of
this cruelty should be organized in
Nashville. The suggestion has borne
good fruit, as steps are now being
taken to form such a society. Promi-
nent gentlemen in the city are agitat-
ing the subject, and have received
from the officers of the New York
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals copies of their charter,
rules and regulations, and at an early
day application for charter of incor-
poration for such a society in Nash
vile will be made. Now that the
World has set the ball in motion, it is
to be earnestly hoped that nothing
will intervene to check the present
intention of the humane gentlemen
who propose to push the matter to a
satisfactory end.
