DEMOCRATIC MEETING.-The weekly
meeting of the Cleveland and Hendricks
Working ,luh was held last night at their
rooms. and was addressed by Major
Thomas p. Wallace, of Orange, who made
telling and humorous speech, greatly pleas
ing all who heard him. He arraigned the
republican party and its leaders, showing
their defects, and in comparing them with
the democratic nominees presented them in
the most unfavorable light. His anecdotes
we're pointed and telling, and his arguments
show ing why the people of this State should
vote against Blaine and for Cleveland were
logical and convincing. After Major Wal
lace concluded his speech, the club trans
acted their usual routine business and made
further arrangements for attending the
democratic ratification meeting at Leesburg

Lean Year Festivities,

The season Of leap year parties is UP
on us, and the feelings with which thes
anomalous festivities are regarded b.
their votaries probably vary as widelss
as do their views of theology. There
are those to whom there is always a Ger
tain SAVIOR of vulgarity about q leap year
party, but to those who are less fastidi-
GUS the strongest sensation is that OF
strangeness aud an emotion OF topsy-
turviness. The unfortunate damsell
who are entrapped into acting as escort
to one of these gatherings generally
emerge from the trying ordeal with a
new sense of the weighty nature of the
masculine duties, and, as rule, find one
experience quite sufficient for four years.
1t is amusing, moreover, to note how
few people have the imagination or OBJ
servation necessary to change places So
cially with one of the opposite sex, and
satisfactorily to act the part. What
seems at first thought the easiest of un-
dertakinss, In reality requires no con-
siderable share Of histsonic powers. 1t
it usually safe for either lady or gentle
man to set out for leap-year dance
with the preliminary wager that before
the evening is over both will haye made
half dozen palpable and undeniable
blunders in their respective roles, and
such book making will be found success
full beyond all precedents in betting

A Howl From the Tlluuderer.

The London Times leader of Tuesday, the
25th, says: SIT is intolerable We are ex-
posed to this succession of plots from nation
processing to be friendly with US, and with
which we only desire to live in peace and uni
ty. We know that the Americans are aware of
the identity of the plotters of the outrages and
it would be no hard task for the American gov
eminent to end the whole thing We have done
our part. We have made the private manufac-
ture of explosives penal crime. The result
is conspirators have been compelled to change
their ground of operations and find in America
a safe refuge, and government which will not
interfere with their operations
1t is impossible that we shall submit to this.
Dynamiters are a common enemy which no
civilized country can tolerate without disgrace
These miscreants have only done what Amcri-
can journals have been allowed to advocate,
for what rewards have been only promised,
and for what public meetings have applauded
The time has arrived to address strong re-
monstrance to the government allowing this to
be continued Respectable Americans are
ashamed of the inaction of their rulers. They
must now join us and make their voices heard
and obeyed. It remains for America to aid rs,
as she alone can nip the mischief; but our de-
mand is one that civilized nation is bound
not to disregard"

Trick of the Cook.

Napoleon had cook whose ability to
cope with an emergency made him a
worthy servant of the great soldier. The
following anecdote illustrates the cul-
mary tactics Of the cook, which enabled
him to be always prepared.
Napoleon's constant dish at breakfast
was roast chicken. But he was so un-
certain in his breakfast hour that some
times the meal would be served as early
as eight o'clock, and sometimes as late
as eleven. Yet the roast chicken was
always ready and always done to turn.
The fact surprised Napoleon, and one
morning he sent for the cook.
IT do not know how it u.s." said he,
"but at whatever hour I call for my
breakfast my chicken is always ready,
and always in good condition"
Sire, answered the man of culinary
genius, s'the reason is that every quar-
ter of an hour I put fresh chicken
down to roast, SO that Your Majesty is
sure always to have it in perfection.
There is lesson in this anecdote
which, if needed, would crown many
callings with success.

early hour in the morning until late in the af-

visits the house of his former employer with
great regularity almost daily. The scandalous
affair has been gossiped about for weeks, and
many people are charitable enough to believe
that the wife is insane Last summer she was
frequently seen sitting in a shady nook, with
the coachman by her side Other manifesto
tons of her regard for the driver have been
noticed. The affair will probably end in di-
