OUT in ulllsboro, Illinois, the Mother
Hubbar style of dress is far from popular.
So deep is tho Indignation against this

TIE newspaper paragrapher loves t.
write of cooks receiving bigger salaries
than college professors, but the fouuda
tions Of some Of the stories told are rather
shaky. Yet an authentic story cOmo5
from France that should make these tales
forever hang their heads. A French mil
liurairo recently died, leaving his cook a
legacy Of 100000. But tho cook could
not stand prosperity, married. an irascible
count and now doubtless thoroughly
| wishes herself back among her pots aud

The two hog thieves who escaped
from tho Belyidcre, N. j., jail last
week are still entrenchod in the fastnos3ca

parent cause of tho reluctance is the
smallness of the reward offered for tho
capture OF the dosperadoos. 1t has al
ways been supposed that officers Of the
law had sufficient incentive for woVk OF
this kind in their salaries aud tho thought
of duty performed. This, however, ap-
pears to have boea gross misconcapton.

whose name constitutes his political
fame and fortune. There is no question
but what James Blaine has been the
choice of the northwestern republican
states for the last eight years, and If they
had the majority in the coming Chicago
convention, he would be n of the can
didates for the highest office in thu gift
of the nation. The political battle of
1884, however, will not be fought there,
but further east-in Ohio, Indiana, and
New York, and to these doubtful states
must be given the nominations. What
both parties are hunting after are men
who have enough personal popularity
to carry these doubtful states, as
their electoral votes are necessary for
either party, in order to be counted in.
In the present state of national politics
reputation in these pivotal sections. A
national name, as a great statesman or
politician, does not count for much in
the game, as every one knows how four
fifths Of the states will cast their votes
next November. It is the shifting,
doubtful one-fifth that puzzles the as
tute slate makers of both parties, and
which must be pandered to in Imaking
up the tickets. Blaine in the one party,
and Bayard in the other, would have
been presidential candidates years ago
if they had hailed from more important
and doubtful states, for their national
reputation justly entities them to this
distinction But the little states of
Maine and Delaware cut too insignifi-
cam a figure in the presidential problem
to be entitled to the honor of a man at
the head of the ticket.
