Man that is married to woman is of
many days and full of trouble.
In the morning he draws his salary,
and in the evening
Behold, it is gone;
1t is tale that is told;
1t yanisheth, and no man knoweth
whittier it goeth;
He riseth up clothed in the chilly gar
ments of the night,
And seeketh the somnambulant pare
goric,
Wherewith to soothe his infant pos
terity.
He cometh as horse or OK
And draweth the chariot OF his off
spring.
He spendeth his shekels in tie pur
chase of fine linen
To cover the bosom of his family,
Yet himself is seen at the gate of TIN
city with one suspender.
Veal he is altogether wretched.

Bayard,s Views

WILMINGTON, July IL. = Senator
Bayard has come from his suburban
home to the Office this morning.
When the associated press representa-
tive, called upon him he said he was
not yet prepared to speak freely and
fully in regard to the work of OPEN
ing the campaign, but would do so
when the smoke of the convention
cleared away. He really felt sense
of relief, he said, now that the con-
vention had made its choice. and that
the great responsibility Of leadership
had fallen on other shoulders. He
said, further, he would give the ticket
bis hearty support, as he had freely
and Immediately announced in his
telegram to Mr.. Cleveland, congratu-
lating him upon his nomination. He
referred to Cleveland's letter of &C
ceptance of the gubernatorial nomina-
ton in 1882, as an admirable docu.
ment, which attracted his attention at
the time, and fingered in his memory;
and he was prepared to believe that
the time had now come when The
American people, firing of the evils
of republican mis- government, anC
disguised by the ticket that party put
in the field would demand and secure
a change of administration.

Trouble i'm Louisiana,

NEW ORLEANS. July 12.-The
Times-Democrat's New Iberia special
says: The Gates-Fontelieu trouble is
again boiling up. Last night a party
of fifty Gates men organized and took
possession of the courthouse, when
the Fonteieu men were in a saloon
near by. Both sides dispatched car
riers to different parts of the parish,
gathering up men. The Fontelieu
men declare that they will take the
courthouse to-day or tonight. The
Gates men are well prepared to resist
an attack.

What the Reduction Amounts to.

From the Washington Star, Ind.
The reduction made in the revenues
by the operation of the act passed by
the forty-seventh congress during the
fiscal wear which ended on Monday,
was S12, 100000. This is less than the
estimate made by the friends of the
measure, which showed a probable
reduction Of $70,0OO,0OO. but it is a
very material lessening of treasury
receipts. In the light of the statis-
tics it is foolish to say that the reven-
ue deduction act of the last congress
has accomplished nothing.

A Freak of Jore,s Thunderbolts

A Freak of Jove's ThunderDolts.
From the Shelby IN. CO Argus.
On Sunday afternoon the storm
ragged furiously, and heavens artll-
Iery flashed often, to the consterna-
tion of MANY woman. After the
storm had ceased Archy Roberts, col
ored. went to the stable to feed his
mule. He saw the mule standing on
its fore feet and resting on its haunch-
es. as if in the act of rising, and said:
"BiI, git up" but Bill listened not to
his words. Surprising the mule was
too lazy to rise, he shook Bills head,
but there was no movement on Bill s
part. Then the tail was twisted in
vain-Bil was dead. Lightning had
killed the mule in the act of rising,
and there, statue-like, stood on its fore
feet. Bill has plowed his last furrow,
and now sorrow sits with poor Archy.
