Years Address, which we common,
to the lovers of the sublime art o

Happy New Year to you all,

The famous Sun'y Peck,

Aud they are mighty bad,
hut still like them as Peck's did,
Or any other dad.
Christ mas come had no change,
To buy them the coveted toys,
So II you've mind 20 open your heart,
just remember Old Rips Boys,
One nickel is all that is asked for the address,
But take one anyhow,
Aud II you choose TO pay for IL,
They'll give you a polite bow.
Large Funds are collected every Year,
For the Heather Chinee,
But they over look the poor at home;
Upon the Christmas true,
There is kind Angel in this place,
Who has thought OF the boys before,
Aud brought her charity mite, to them;
At the Shanty door.
For such rs those Lord will remember,
When the trumpet sounds,
And give them home in glory's plain,
Where angels hover round,
This is all can say just now,
In politics I've no choice,
Or speak OF Hydrants or Water Works,
Nor to indulge In cuss words.
So II you've amind to call ON me,
Aud sec what the Boys really want,
You can find me quietly pegging away,
On old shoes that tc mend, to me was sent,
Now II you will have patience little while,
iii not detain you long,
And II You bring your work to me,
am sure III not use you wrong.

The Governor reached no decision in regard
TO the case of KGrner, the wife murderer. sen
fenced 70 hang on next Friday, yesterday but
when asked what would be done, replied that he
would decide to day, The petition asks for the
communication of the death penalty to imprison-
ment for life for the reason that it is believed
that there is probability that the murder was
not committed by Kerner, although the circum-
stancial evidence is very strong, and that even
if guilty, the evidence does not convict him Of
murder IN the first degree. The public feeling
in regard to the justice of the sentence is
strong both pro and con. The Governor called
on Kerner at the Jail yesterday afternoon, and
talked with him for over an hour, and he de-
voted the entire day to the consideration of the
case Although he has refraned from express
ing any opinion, it is believed by those who
have urged tho Communication of the sentence
that the Governor will not allow the condemned
man to hang.

John Won't Get 1t.

1t is whispered that John c. Shoemaker, the
proprietor of the Sentinel. wants to become post
master, and will make desperate effort TO secure
the appointment 1t is understood, as law of
custom, that Mr. Hendricks will be allowed to
name the postmaster and that he is not kindly
disposed toward Mr.. Shoemaker, because the
Sentinel refused to give him the laudatory com
mendation which he desired after the Chicago
convention when it was charged that he had
been treacherops to Mr.. Mcdonald. When
mention was made to Mr.. Hendricks of Shoe
makers postoffice aspirations, he is reported &c
have Significantly remarked that "Mr. Shoe
maker already holds a lucrative position as di-
rector of the Northern prison."

The rumor has gained general credence in the
last week that DR. W. B. Fletcher, the efficient
superintendent of the Insane Hospital, was to
be removed, and DR.. Thomas, an aspiring politi-
clan to be appointed in his place. The
chief com plant against DR. Fletcher seems to
be that he would not make use of his position to

LUCKY TIM.

Tim Flanagan always lived quite high,
For mkt to the roof he had home;
A laborin' man who kept job,
For Tim was niver hand to roam.
Wan avening Tim was ploddin' home,
His legs wur heavy, his pockets lite
SEE Tim to himself: The laborer's lot
I'm not regardin with delite.
He slowly trudged along the strate,
When down forninst him on the ground
He spied bundle nately tied.
1t wondered Tim what he had found;
He picked it up wild cautious hand
Begorra 1t might be a dynamitel
But when he saw twas Bull Dog thin
His heart went thumpin' wild delite.
Bedad sez Tim, it's the laborin' man
Is the lucky mortal after all
It's him as hes his eyes cast down
Picks dainties up the rich let fall;
For if I'd had me wish this mite,
Twas Bull Dog that most desired;
IT'S Bull Dog fine cut gives delite
To man that's faln' wake and tired
When dimes are scarce and Bull Dog gone
IT'S thin the world gets lookin blue;
But not rason for complaint
Has man wild Bull Dog as his chew.
And Tim was right beyond doubt,
For chewers now on every hand
Agree with Tim that Bull Dog is
The finest chew in all the land.

that the Acropolis alone is still afford

plain that were not the new city cover
