Land where hopes have glad fruition:

Groves and gardens softly shaded,
Stately mansions snowy white
But the vision slowly faded,
Faded from my ravished sight.
Then grew so faint and tired,
That only longed for rest; '....
All my glowing hopes expired
And despair my soul possessed

Protecting His Character.

Entering the shop of his Six Avenue
tailor the other day, he said:
"Sir, l owe you sixty dollars"
''Yes, sir, you do"
"And l have owed it for a year"
"You have"
"And this is the fifth postal card YOU
have sent me regarding the debt"
al think it is the fifth"
snow, sir, while cannot pay the debt
for perhaps another year, propose to
protect my character as far as possible.
Here are twelve two-cent stamps. You
can use them in sending me twelve
monthly statements of account, and can
thus save your postal cards and my feel
ings at the same time"
1t is said that the tailor has credited
the twenty-four cents on account. and
feels that he has secured more of the
debt than he had any reason to hope
for.-WaH Street Ne,Cs.

james Paul, an Austin. (Nev.,) boy
of thirteen, was DESTROYS of ascertaining
if an old pistol, which he had for play
thing, was loaded or not. He tried
several ways to solve the problem, and
finally concluded to place lighted
match at the percussion tube and then
look down through the barrel to see if
the light was visible. The ball entered
the boys mouth, knocking out his two
upper front teeth, penetrating his
tongue from front to base. and passing
through the soft palate lodged against
the vertebra of the neck, He was inn
mediately seized with violent fit of
coughing, during which he coughed out
tho ball. The boy was somewhat dam
aged, but would probably recover.

The public has been pretty
well surfeited with accounts Of
and criticisms upon the recent
killing Of Elliott, the Chicago
pugilist, by one jerry Dunn
The best notice of the affair that
we have seen appears in the
Ne,os OF that city, which says:
The cold-blooded murder of
the pugilist Elliott by Jerry
Dunn has brought to light a
good many facts in the lives of
both these desperadees, which
show the character OF the bust
ness in which they are engaged.
Elliott was thief, pickpocket,
burglar and villain generally.
Many Of his years had been
passed in prison, where he ought
TO have been retained. Dunn,
claiming to be "a gentleman"
and to associate with such, is an
ex-convict, has been a fugitive
from justice, and is wholly ne
farious in life and character.
Yet the former was exhibiting
himself through the country to
admiring gangs of leafe-s, who
were better than he only be-
cause they had not the ability to
plan nor the courage to execute
a great crime. Dunn was the
peer of his victim in everything
except physical strength. 1t is
a pity both are not out OF the
way.

a GROTNDLESS OBJECTION

A newspaper writer who es-
says to enlighten the public
ought to know a little more
about the subject he is comment
ing upon than the general read
er, but sometimes he don't. We
are led to these remarks from an
article which is going the rounds
to the effect that Jehn Dennis is
politically ineligible for the
Democratic nomination for Con-
gresham, because he is a hold
over Senator. It is argued that
his party would not permit him
to resign TO run for Congressional
representative, because his vote
as State Senator might be neces-
sary to elect a Democratic L. =
Senator two years hence. His
Congressional nomination or elec-
ton Would not nccessitate his
resignation as State Senator I'm
til after the close OF the next
session of the Legislature, for if
elected, he would not have to
take bis seat unit. the following
Winter. There is no constitu-
tional objection to his being
elected to Congress during his
term as State Senator and ne
political necessity Of his resig-
nation until just before he takes
his seat as Representative, and
that time would not arrive unit!
he had served his two terms in
the State Senate. The candidacy
of Governor Adams for the L. $.
Senate is subject to the objection
mentioned in the article re-
ferred to. as his resignation
would involve the succession Of
q political opponent TO the Gov
ernorship, something which the
Democratic party would not be
apt to permit. We have reason
to believe that Mr.. Dennis i not
a candidate for Congressional
hOnors, but should he he there
will be 10 legal or political Oh
stacles in his path, as the ohjec-
tions urged against Governor
Adams do n0r hold good aS
against a State Senator.
