Yet IN spite Of his friendship for and sup

all the Brooklyn prohlhluonists, who
cared more about republ,canlsm, as they
do everywhere, than about their temperance
principles. The circumstance gave coca

DEAD GIVE, AWAY.

\ good one is told us by friend who
boarded the train here on Thursday of
last week and had the good fortune to
fall in with the Alabama and Mississippi
press excursionists, who passed here en-
route to the Louisville Exposition. Ac-

and devoted attentions to one Of the
lovcliest and most bewitching fair ones
Of the Mississippi party. 1t would seem

noticed by those who observed the Young
lady closely that she had a good sized
beauty spot in the shape Of piece of
black court plaster in very close proximity
to her ruby, ruby lips. Near Palmyra, a
little town about six miles below here,
the train has to pass through a very dark
tunnel about hundred yards long.
When the train entered the tunnel the
plaster was still sticking in seeming Sc
curity to the tempting lips Of the belle.

the train emerged, 10 and behold the
black spot was clinging steadfastly to
the lips Of the innocent and child-like
