THE NEW WEARING OF THE
GREEN,

Arah, Paddy dear, and did you hear,
The news that's going round:
The shamrock has been planted east
On old Know Nothing ground;
st. Patrick's day Jim Blaine will keep
With glory and potheen,
And blow the bloody English out
For treadng on the green
! met with Star Route Elkins,
And ne took me by the hand,
And said, "God bless our candidate
How do the Irish stands
He's the finest candidate, said /,
That ever yet was seen.
He bates the very b'yes themselves
At shouting for the green.
Then whispered, Mr.. Elklns,
We have heard your tale before;
'Tis soft and sweet, but will not meet
Your needs of eighty four;
Though you wear your colors In your hat
AS In my caubeen,
Within your heart the Irish know
How light you hold the green"
So, Paddy, let them play ther game,
Tis neither good nor new;
When thistles turn to Shamrocks, then
Wen count their fattery true.
st, Patrick day indeed We'll keep,
In ways they little mean:
0nr yntaa shall a ho,y houp m ,, oh ,pa Ioyo
Sham wearers of the green.

Several years a"o, turle lived IN Dar-
danelle, Arkansas, All eccentric hotel
keeper known as-wcil, say UDc,e
John. He was violently opposed to
the title of governor declaring that he
once knew of gang of thieves whose
password was governor; and on many
an occasion guests vino thoughtlessly
gave him the title, were driven from
the house. Commercial travellers put
up at his hotel. Those who were ac-
quainted with his peculiarities took
great delight in assuring drummers
who had never before visited the town,
that by calling the old man governor,
special attentions would be paid. One
day Harry Collins, young drummer
for a New York house, decided to visit
Dardanele.
by all means stop with uncle John
Pash, said u companion. "He is the
best feeder in the country; and-say,
call him governor and he will nearly
kill himself waiting on you.
When Collins arrived he was re-
ceived with welcome that was de-
lightful to contemplate, and during the
course of affable conversation, Collins
remarked:
by the way, governor, how are"
The old fellow became furious. He
had been teased several times that day,
and he knew that the title was intend
ed TO be an insult. The drummer be-
came angry and swore that he would
not stand such abuse.
Come out here" said the old man.
Collins followed and was conducted to
the bank of the river, not far away.
Now" exclaimed the old man,
drawing revolver. well settle this
thing. Two of us came down here.
Only one of us will 90 back.
The drummer took out pistol, half
as long as his arm, and remarked:
I'm going back"
"Well, " said the old man, returning
his own pistol, and eying the one held
by Collins, II reckon that under the
circumstances we'd both better 60
back. ."-ArknnSaW TrdUeier.

WE HAVE lively recollection of every
administration of the Republican party
during the last six terms, and from the grst
term TO the last term-from the day Gener.
al Michael Corcoran was court martialed
for refusing to parade his regiment through
the streets OF New York in honor of Eng
lands Prince of Wales, to the day the pres
ent President honored the Queen of Eng
land by presiding at the opening of the
Brooklyn bridge on her birthday, we have
seen nothing but toadying TO England and
Engishmen. The keeping of Lowell in
London as the representative of America is
an insult to the spirit of the nation. The
salutation of the English flag at Yorktown
looked like an invitation to England to lay
her wires to take charge of the country
again; il was an insult to the memory of
our martyred dead; and for no other cause
but because of that insult and outrage, no
American with Irish blood, or any other
manly blood, in his veins should vote fol
keYng in power party who thus out
rage the sacred memory of those who
fought and fell for the freedom of the
country United Irishman.

A Cat and Chloroform.

There is mourning in n Fair Haven
household, says the New Haven Ncaos.
There is little grave under pear
tree in the yard, and there are tears in
abundance, and neglected ribbons laid
tenderly away in consecrated recep-
tacles. There has been an uninten-
tional murder within that house Of
mourning Said the unwilling taker of
life, as ho sobbed over the past,
1--WE had pet cat who wore neat
little collar, but in an evil hour | be-
thought me of n cat that wore ribbons
or rings in his ears. Our Tom was
handsome and deserving, and must be
decorated. So to save him pain | con-
suited druggist, who gave mea small
vial labeled 'Chloroform, Poison
after closely questioning me as to my
knowledge of its use. ! procured an
eyelet punch, pieco of string, and
some olive oil, and proceeded to busi-
ness.
Il drew sock over poor Toms
head and tied it. Ipoured a few drops
from the vial, where his nose should
connect, but this only seemed to cause
unusual activity, and feared he would
jump through the window; so emptied
the vial on the moist spot. The effect
was soon perceptible. Tom lay
motioness. | took him up, laid him
on the table, and pinched him. Then
inwardly blessed that science that per-
mtted us 10 perform operations even
on the lower animals without causing
pain. So went to work with the de-
liberation of a professor and punched
holes in Toms ears. / picked the
pieces out to be sure there was per-
feet oritice, then threaded an oiled
string and tied it as a preliminary to
the anticipated gorgeous earrings he
was 10 sport.
ut was complete scientific tri-
umph, and for the moment felt equal
to the performance of almost any
surgical operation, for Tom was still
sleeping, perfectly oblivious in fact. |
almost wished he had tumor or
something | could cut out, but the
time had come to resuscitate. | pro-
cured cold water, opened his mouth,
and poured some in, then bathed his
brow, rubbed and piuchcd him--to no
purpose. | laid him out under IN APP
pie tree to sleep it off for two hours.
He made no sign.
Tom is buried under pear tree;
there were no flowers. NV wife is
continuous in her upbrading. She has
cat up a loaf of bread, used pound OF
butter and two boxes Of rough on rats,
making wads for every hole and corn
er. She has just shown me plates,
and even II p'llow-sham
marked with absolute evidence Of
mouse carousals, for now poor Tom is
dead, and ! am looking up Il kitten"

The Quinine and the Morphine.

One night after the drug store had
been closed and all was dark within,
the Quinine Bottle leaned over and
whispered TO the Morphine Jar:
Say, let's put up job on the
clerk"
"How?n
"Why, you come over here and
stand in my place, and I'll 90 there
and stand in yours"
"Oh, no; | know your little game.
You think If you got in my place you'd
do all the business. But you needn't
fatter yourself. No drug clerk ever
made the mistake OF giving quinino
for morphine. y Chicago NeWs.

A PROMINENT friend of Mr.. Blaine and
leading member of the Republican com
mittee called on Roscoe Conkling the other
day and informed him that Mr.. Blaine had
confidently expected that lie (Conkling)
would lend the ticket his influence by
making few speeches during the latter
part of the campaign. Mr., Conkling heard
the gentleman through and told him ito
politely inform Mr.. Blame that he was not
engaged in criminal practice this cam

Two weeks after that, when the pros

Chicago and said he guessed he would
