A Right Smart Bull-Pup.

Two dog fanciers were discussing the
respective merits of their brutes, when
one of them said:
"Bull-pups is no good; yer can't learn
'em nuthin'."
"Taint so. I've got bull-pup that'll

i'm so he'll carry off chunk Nv raw
beef an bring it back agin.
"Betcher he won't"
The money was put up, the dog was
called, and the meat given him.
"Now, Tige," said the owner, stake
it outdoors, that's good doggy, an
when l calls yer come in agin, an show
the gentleman wot yer can do"
The dog went out with the meat in
his mouth. and presently his owner
called, "Tige, Tige; here, Tige," and
he came back wagging his tail and
licking his chops.
"Gimme them stakesr' shouted the
other fellow; II tole yer yer couldn't

aesthetic Carriers.

In the balmy days of our mothers q
simple band of blue or red cotton
elastic, void of all decoration, except
ing the neat hand-sewed seam that
completed the circle which embraced
the leg, was thought sufficient for the
most exacting, but since the aesthetic
wave has swept over the land, causing
peoples and lilies to blossom on cop
per kettles and tin caddies and panels
of sunhowers and hollyhocks to spring
up before washstands, defunct ward
robes and all the eye-sores usually
relegated to cellars and garrets, the
rubber garter has also been touched up
with the pencil of beauty and grace and
to-day will stand comparison with
many of the novelties designed for love
tokens. Their use is permissible to
either sex, and the daintiest carriers
that design can create and skill fancy
are found alike in dry goods store,
jewelry house, and with firms carrying
gents first-class furnishing goods.
Cotton elastic is a thing of the past,
and the cheapest garter that refined
taste will permit is composed of silk
rubber neatly fastened with silk
crow-foot or couple of feather
stitches. This rubber can be had in ell
the high colors, and besides being pref
ty and trim has the added charm of
durability. for it is impossible to wear
a good silk garter out in a year.
II, however, the cotton is most con-
venient, the band is covered with q
hem of soft silk gathered very full and
embellished with large bow or roses
of the same material. This little
garter can be bought for $3.50, the
actual cost being 80 cents, and the rest
of the sum is charged for style.

BISHOP IRELAND'S PAPER.
A SHARP EDITORIAL.

ShARP EDlIOklAL.
The Northwestern Chronicle, Bish-
OPP Ireland's paper, has the following
scathing comment on a recent arti-
Gle in the New York Nation in de-
tense of Cleveland:
Cleveland has been accused Of
fragrant violations of chastity. Chas-
tity. we are assured by tho Nation,
is not the greatest of virtues. 1t is
we'll enough for man TO be chaste.
the Nation tells us, although Cleve-
land can lay no claim to that rela-
lively inferior virtue, his virtues are
those which bind human society to-
gether, and in which States are
founded and maintained!' What a
political philosophy is this! We sup
posed if there were any institutions
on which the State securely rested
more than on any other it was on
the family and on marriage. Take
away marriage and the family, and
you have social chaos. II is the fam
lily and marriage which distinguish
man from the brute; and the basis of
the family is chastity. Destroy chas-
tity in nation and you destroy the
family and with it the State. To be
satisfied Of this we need only on.ult
the consciousness of every individual
man. What would he give for his
home or his hearth if he could not
trust in the virtue of his wife or his
daughters? Chastity is the corner.
stone of States and of social order.
Cleveland vice of unchastity is the
one above all others by which Gov
ernments are overthrow, States
brought to naught, and homes turned
into beastly brothels!
The standard of chastity, we are
led to infer by the Nation, would
have prevented Washington from
taking any important part in the
foundation of the American Republic.
What gratuitous and brutal SANDER
on the Father of his Country! The
Nation should have headed its article
San Apology for Unchastity.' And
what are we to think of the assertion
that there have been very few of the
benefactors Of the human race who
have been chaste! If this were true
it should not be told; but it is a most
damnable lie! There are thousands
of benefactors of the human race
greater than Cleveland and living to-
day whose lives are as pure at the
driven snow.
The writer in the Nation has a per-
feet right to make public confession
of his own corruption; but who has
authorized him to enter a plea of
guilty to the charge of lechery for
the whole American people, or to
declare what relative value the peo-
pie Of the United States set upon
purity and truth?
