TUE NapoleoDists in France arc
having high old time in participat-
ing in the quarrel between Plon-Plon,
the heir apparent, and his son Victor,
who ranks as prince imperial Victor
has for some years been photographed as
very yirtuous and high-minded youth,
who inherited none of the traits that
have made his father Jerome unpopular.
But the friends of the old man now
accuse him of all sorts of villainies,
among the most venial being the fact
that he is habitual liar, and that he
receives his financial backing from
notorious courtesan, one Nine. Gabrielle.
They nickname him now Gabrielle
darling" Paul de Cassagnac is par
tisan of Victor and helps to villify Plon-
Plon in turn. Upon the whole, the
imperialists are rapidly making them
selves the laughing stock of France
But they have much sympathy in Flu
rope outside, in all aristocratic circles,
where it is hoped that they may some
time overthrow the republic.

l.. b. March and family from the
Hatfield ranch attended services at the

W. o. Bond was in McCook, last
week, after lumber to finish the roof of
his store. His goods were damaged
considerably by the late rains.
The recent rains have been about the
most severe of the season. Buffalo
bridge was rendered impossible part
of the same having taken swim.
Our teacher and Miss Lettie Bough-
ton, who were in attendance at the
Teachers Institute, last week, have
returned with favorable report of the
proceedings.
We still have two more weeks of

gin earlier-so as not to run so far into
the heated season.
A number of our citizens were down

Fl. B. Duckworth passed through
this place, last week, with a fine lot of
cattle, which he was taking from Indi-

section.
We hear gentle murmur from the
distance. 1t bears the news "a we'd
ding is on the tapis. A school-marm
about to leave the ranks" Consolation,
where art thou ? But then we'll not
despair yet, tbs only rumor.
Some Of the neighboring farmers
have become very industrious of late,
so much so that they are not satisfied
with six days labor in one week, but
profane the day of rest, also. In more
civilized countries such violations would
be dealt with by law, but here those
who do wish to observe that day Alright
are obliged to bear with such disturb
ances and politely say nothing.

The eagerly looked for Leap Year
Ball was given by the young ladies of
our burg in the Opera Hall, Wednesday
evening, and if the energy and zest
with which these present entered into
the same be considered a criterion, the
evening was most thoroughly enjoyed.
The threatening, lowering state of the
weather in the early part of the even
ing kept many from the dance, but by
10 o'clock a goodly number of dancers
had arrived, and the ball was opened
up, and the young ladies commenced
selecting partners, Tin person, the more
timid by proxy) The party disbanded
about 2:3O, with pleasant memories
fitting through their brains-to disturb
the limited slumber left them before
the coming morn.

trembling, and great luck was to them
if they were able to get seat at the
table. Wet groceries were in brisk
demand.

Irish Wit.

There will always be an abundance
of stories of Irish wit and Irish blum
ders as long as there is an Irish race.
Here are few fresh ones from an Eng
lish newspaper: A car-driver who had
charged his passenger too much was
reproached by the latter for lying. Il
wonder YOU haven't more regard for
the truth than TO be dragging her
out on every palthry OCCASION" was the
reply. Speaking of neighbor who
was daring rather than au exert
mariner, certain country doctor re-
lated how his yacht had "stalck fast
and loose in the mud"
Again, at meeting of church
waidens, when it was debated whet err
the pew of gentleman who had Sc
coded to Revivalism should be retained
for him or not, the doctor urged that it
should, adding as reason, "'Tis I'M
beknownst but one of his ancestors
might want it."
An Irish newspaper, giving an ac-
count of burglary, said:
after fruitless search, all the
money was recovered, except one pair
of boots"
Surely Mr.. Matthew Arnold will not
quarrel with the lack of lucidity which
gave the following to the world:
sour most famous jig-dancer came
by his death in faction fight Mt vii
lage fair. An inquest was held, at
which verdict was brought in that he
met his death by the uisitdtion Of God
under suspicious ciyc1tDls tances."
