Tho lecture to BIO giyon In tho Hamline
Church on Monday evening by the eloquent
Eurasian, Rev. d. Osborne, promises TO be ono
OF rare interest. Mr.. Osbornes reputation for
oratory In India has been fully sustained dur
Ing his visit to this country. We quote from the
ChrtSttdn Advocate OF New York. 1.-THE Presby-
terrain missionaries OF India wrote to George
II. Stuart, OF Philadelphia, and TO the Presby-
terian ministers In that city that since the

Cleveland AS q Mongoose.

Rochester Post-E press
The manner in which our Democratic friends
have been playing upon popular credulity for
the last few years In charging upon Republic
can administration all sorts OF frauds and
abuses, and finally In putting forward Grover
Cleveland as tho statesman to reform them oil
and give us honest administration and pure
politics, recalls very forclbly the story Of the
At station on Western road a passenger
boarded the train having among other light
parcels a box about two feet square, perfo-
rated with holes as II to AFFORD air to some
small animal which 1t contained. The curl

cited to know what sort OF an animal 1t was.

"But," said he, "the snakes and lizards that a

"Of course not" returned the other,

The Democratic party have been suffering
from kind OF political delirium tremens for
the past ten or twelve years, and have boon
imagining they saw the snakes and lizards OF
corruption aud abuse In all departments OF
the Government. And now they have gone
and got a "mongoose" from Buffalo to eat up
the snakes and lizards and make an end of all
the abuses and corruptIons Of the party In
power.
"But," says the thoughtful voter, after a
moments reflection, "these snakes and lizards
have no existence except in the distempered
imaginations OF Democrats. There amt any

appeal, and aiser excusing herself
started upstairs to her room, which che en-
tered quickly and locked the door. Finding
his efforts to win the maiden's love un-

face he shot himself In the right side.
He was seriously but not danger.
