A tinware peddler called at a house
on Fourth Avenue the other day to ex-
change some of his goods for paper
rags. The woman brought out a sack
weighing ten or fifteen pounds and the
peddler held it up on his spring scales
and announced: zz-s.e..

Her husband came outat that moment

any such weight. He knew there were

didn't propose to be swindled. 1892 ~

It was, agreed that the man should
take the sack across to the grocery and
weigh it for himself. but he was no

drove off and did not stop for five

THE WISE BELLS.

On sunny Sabbath morning,
Forth two messengers were sped,
That the bells be set a-ringing;
One to say, in chime and singing,
A fair maiden is to wed;
one to say, with knell and moaning,
A fair maiden lieth dead.
Nv mischance the stupid servants
Went not whittier they were bade;
But each where was sent the other.
one said: "Ring the bells right glad
For bridal" Said the other:
For the dead ring slow and sad"
So it chanced that at the bridal,
All turned pale to hear the bell;
While the gladsome wedding Ginning
Mid the dirge discordant fell;
But the angels hearing, whispered:
'In the chimes and in the knells,
Wisdom, more than man could teach We,
Did you speak to-day. o bells!"

Congressman Theodore Lyman has
been opposed to Blaine from the first,

thing about his position in national pol

Having been republican since the dis

nee, but for Mr.. Blaine cannot vote. -
1t cannot be denied that the only
candidate for whom the majority of the
Massachusetts delegates to the last three
republican national conventions, and con-
spicuously at the convention in June of
this year, declined to vote was Mr.. Blaine
Why did they make this exception 1t
was because they knew that Mr. Blane's
character was so much impaired as to rem
der him an unfit candidate.
The significance of such an ut,erance
lies in the fact that all that has been
done TO discredit Cleveland has been of
no avail among men who, though in
name republicans, do not recognize
party lines. Mr.. Lyman says that he
has confidence in Mr.. Cleveland, and
will vote for him. Almost daily the
announcement ls made Of the detection
from Blaine of men of influence, whose
republicanism has never been question
ed, and who as a rule will carry with
them many who either recognize their
authority or are now in doubt and only
need an example to decide their course.
1t is obvious thai the Blaine tactics
have not been successful in obtaining
support for Blaine, but, on the other
hand, have alienated from him the men
who would have added materially to
the strength of the party under any
candidate save one with the shadow of
dishonesty and trickery hanging over
him We predict that all the hot shot
Of the opposition has not all yet been
fired,

TAMMANY FOR CLEVELAND.

Ever since the Chicago convention
the Republicans have professed to have
strong expectations Of carrying New
York state. Their hopes are based on
the opposition of the San to Cleve-
land, on the large labor vote that But
Ter is expected to draw from the Dem
ocrats, and on the action Of Tammany
Hall. The influence of the Sun has
not proved all that was desired, and it
is probable now that Mr.. Dana would
swing around again so as TO get on the
winning side if he could do 50 without
appearing ridiculous. The Butler side
show has failed to capture the labor
vote of the State, and all his demon
strations have been a farce. Last,
but not least, Tammany has declared
strongly in Clevelaud's favor. Many
prominent Republicans are announcing
their intention to support the Demo
cratic candidate, and every day adds
to the certainty of Cleveland's success
in New York. This makes his elec-
ton sure, though from present iudica-
tions he can be elected without that
state
