"WHAr shall we do with our
men ?'' is the title Of a lecture pro-
posed for delivery in this country by
an English lady. This is a sugges-
tive inquiry, and implies that the
lady's lord is an old boy of irregular
habits. But if she thinks that the
interrogatory applies in this country
as in England she is much mistaken.
All our men are models Of gentility
in the way of going to bed early and
getting up soon. Some Of them call
their wives " honey" others pretty"

Next week things become lively in
Chicago again, and the gathering Of
the clans will be accompanied by the
throng and lookers-on and general
which will convert the
Garden City into a very Paris OF
brilliancy. 1t is not to be wondered
at that the remarkably low rates
made over the entire system of the
B. & 0. should be attended by SO
large an outpourrng Of people.
Over the whole line from the Allan
tic, the glorious Chesapeake and the
great rivers to the lakes, the rate is
brit one-half the regular fare, or one
fare for the round trip. The tickets
90 upon sale at all stations on July
Sd, remaining on sale every day to and
including the 18th, good for use any day
and upon any train to and including
the 9Th. Every accommodation is
being provided by the railroad COM
pany to insure the utmost satifaction
and comfort of the patrons and
nothing will be left undone to COM
plete such preparations as will rem
der the host complete success certain.
Elegant B. & 0. sleepers will be
attached to all through trains, and
not only will they make the trip
without change, but new and most
comfortable regular coaches as well.
When it comes to time, the B. & 0.
has q record which has never been
equalled, and when safety is consider
ed, no road in the world equals it's
record for upwards of half a century.
The B. & o. depot in Chicago is
by long odds the most advantageously
located and the best arranged in that
city. Those who have travelled know
what it is to DO in a crowded union
depot with the trains Of q half dozen
roads coming in and going out /;
everybody's baggage heaped up indis
criminately, and employees 80 harass-
ed and bothered by countless ques-
tions as to be in condition to answer
none of them to the point. The pass
enger becomes if anything more mix
ed, and ten to one gets on the wrong
train, has the check for some other
fellows trunk, and upon the whole
wishes he had never been born. At
the Chicago depot of the B. & O..
there is none of this confusion, no
wrangling, pulling or hauling. No
trains but its own come in or go out.
No baggage piled up of other roads,
and everything so systematically ar
ranged that getting on the wrong
train Or ajumbled condition of things
in any respect is impossible. The
depot Immediately sdjoins the Tx
position building, it being hardly
two minutes walk to the grand
structure which, being the scene Of
both Conventions, will undoubtedly
mark the spot where the next Presi-
dents name is finally made certain.

The head of family in London

wretched logic, however, and we will
not indulge it, notwithstanding the

dedicated on Sunday with appropri-

referred to the bells now swinging in
the new tower as one Of the old land
marks Of Hagerstown. Their sweet
tones have for over a hundred years
called the worshippers to church,
tolled the passing bell for the dead

many happy, happy couples who
have entered beneath their shadows
and started on life's thorny paths.

The Penniless Man.

Blessed is the man who is PENN
less, for he is never sticken-for a

The deadhead annoyeth him not,
neither is he pursued by the book
agent.
He hath no friends to "treat ;''he is
poor, and hath no enemies.
When he riseth in the morning, his
stomach is not rebellious from over
feeding; neither does he chink his sill
yer and say;
"How shall I get rid of these dimes?
When he eateth he is not vexed by
a multitude of dishes.
His lands will never take unto
themselves wings, neither will the
fire devour his water lots.
He is not perplexed about taxes,
neither careth he for the rise in lum-
Der.
He hath no ties for money, there
fore careth not to demonetize never
theless, a dime will he not refuse, nor
turn away from five center.
Yea, gherkin will he relish, and
storm the out-works of a steel-clad
biscuit.
He loveth none but himself; he is
selfish yea, fond of fish; clans in
chowder; oysters raw and Holsters in
vinegar, will he not despise.
He maketh his lair in the bar room !;
he squatteth on q keg while it is day
and he sleepeth in barrel at night.
Where the scent of whiskey is
there he is found he snuffeth the
lunch with frenzy, and crieth ha--ha!
at the chink of glasses. He liveth
like a ringtailed moke, and dieth
like spotted jehoshaphat,

HON. HENRY G. DAVIS.

This gentleman has been highly
spoken of as a probable member of
Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet, either as
Secretary of the Navy or Post-mss
ter General No man in this couE-
try to day can point to his couS Sc
through life with more pride THAI
Mr. Davis. There may be better or
ators, more skilled legislators, more
able political economists, but for all
business purposes, he is the equal Of
any of them He was born poor and
unknown, but God endowed him with
brains, and he has made the best use
of the endowment. He started life
as brakeman on the B. & O. Rail
road, and when the honored presi-
dent Of that great company closed
his eyes to this world, the former
brakeman watched beside him WITH
the honors of an ex-member of the
House of Delegates, ex-State Sena-
tor, ex-United States Senator, the
proprietor of coal mines, the formu-
lator and builder of railroads. The
man who has the inherent strength
of character and the ability to do
this, has the grasp of mind and bus
mess tact to fill Cabinet position
with safety to the government and
the people, and with increasing credit
to himself.

A man got mad at an editor and

he sold his corn at forty cents below
the market price; then his property
was sold for taxes because he did
not read the sheriff's sales; he was
arrested and fined So for going hunt
ING on Sunday, simply because he
didn't know it was Sunday; and he
paid $500 for a lot OF forged notes
that had been advertised two weeks
and the public cautioned not to ne
gotiate them. He then paid man
with foot like a forge hammer, to
kick him all the way back to the
newspaper office, where he paid four
years subscription in advance, and
made the editor sign an agreement
to knock him. down and rob him if
he ever ordered his paper stopped
again. Such is life without news
