hereby announce myself as candi-
date for tho nomination and election Of
a Democratic Representative for the next
legislature Whether elected or defeat
ed, 1 shall continue TO labor for the com
plete overthrow Of all monopolies and
the various means and agencies which
are continually employed to oppress the
poor, firmly believing that neither Ma
ture nor God ever designed that the poor
should be, as they now are, virtually, the
slaves Of the Plutocracy--better known
as the MONEY POWER. Good wages
for fair days work, to be promptly paid
in cash, should be the law, and no Com
pany Stores, nor any other methods,
should be allowed to exist, to over-reach
the laborer.
Strongly believing that these are, u
mong others, really the great and vital
things that are of practical Importance
to the masses of the people, and that they
must be radically corrected, sooner or
later. l pledge myself, under all circum-
stances, to advocate them with an un-
Welding conviction, that it is for justice,
right and the good of humanity. And l
shall do it with energy and force.

Sam Randall's Borrowed Socks.

''Do you see that pair of stockings"
said w. W. Ker, late assistant to the
United States attorney-general, drawing
from his coat pocketa pair of gentlemen's
white English hose. There's a history
connected with them. During the meet
ing of the Democratic convention at
Chicago Sam Randall arrived, hot, dusty
and tired We wanted him to hurry up
and appear before a committee meeting
of delegates, but his baggage had not
arrived and so we took him in charge
determined that he should not lose any
chance of getting the nomination on ac-
count of the dereliction of the baggage
men. l gave him my room in the hotel,
and he went and took bath. Then we
began to collect some articles of linen for
him. contributed pair of stockings,
ex-Mayor Vaux contributed shirt and
collar and other articles. Randall wears
the old-fashioned shirts which button up
before and which have no studs IN them.
Vaux's shirt was of the modern style,
except that it had high oldfashoned
collar attached When he got it on you
ought to have seen him. The collar
came way up to his ears and almost
buried the lower part of his face. We
got black stock and fastened it around
the collar, and we got some studs and
put in the shirt front and sent him to the
meeting in fine style. forgot all.about
the affair until to-day, when Mrs. Randall
sent me the stockings nicely done up.
Nobody shall ever wear those stockings.
I'm going to keep them until Sam Ran
dali is inaugurated President. "-Phila-

The Seats Prepared Above.

At one time in the history of the Con-
federacy, the refugees became so numer-
Gus in the towns and villages remote
from the path of armies, that the good
citizens of the safe and pleasant places,
were seriously annoyed. The invaders
were in their most sacred places, like the
plague in Egypt, entered into their
houses, and even their churches were IL
tested.
A worthy congregation of Virginia
town had complained that their pews
were occupied by refugees, often to the
exclusion of their own families, and
their pastor was requested to give notice
from the pulpit that all refugees could
be accommodated in the gallery.
Accordingly, on one bright Sunday
morning the church as usual had its full
complement of obnoxious visitors, when
at the proper time the reverend gentle
man arose and gave the notice as re-
quested.
The refugees, though already seated
and disposed to mind their prayers, arose
at once, some with. heightened color and
tossing heads, and went into the gallery.
After the disturbance caused by the
move was over, the pastor gave out the
hymn, which he had unrehectingly
selected. 1t was
"Haste, my soul, Oh, haste away,
To seats prepared above"
A litter went around the gallery, and
the congregation seemed much annoyed f;
even the minister before he finished his
verse, saw how unfortunate his selection
was, and all seemed to feel how ridicu-
lous it made them appear. ar.-Southern Biz

Weaving Rabbits Wool.

Yesterday l drove to st. Innocents to
see the Angora rabbits, whose fur fur
nishes soft and spinnable wool, out of
which the peasants make a quantity of
warm garments. 1t was curious to see
the peasant girl take the rabbit fur in
her fingers, and then adding it to her
thread, go on spinning the coarse yarn
out of it on long spinning wheel, We
then went in to see the rabbits; pretty
creatures, with large opal eyes and very
long fur, exceedingly soft. They are
"plucked alive, and the process is said
not to hurt them. Indeed, they are so
fluffy that perhaps it is a relief. Some
were black, others white, and others
gray. | noticed no other colors. This
fur is not only spun, but is crocheted
and knitted into a coarse canvas. The
finished goods are very expensive, and [
did not think them equal to wooden
articles of corresponding grades. They
are curious, and all visitors to AK feel
bound to carry away some little specimen
or other of this rather anomalous rabbit
work. Boston TgnnalaT.

An Indian Prodigy.

There is little Shosnone papoose
here, only four years of age and not
much larger than pickle jar, who evin-
ces wonderful aptitude for molding
images out of mud and clay. His
mother was engaged at washtub out
side of house the other day, and from
the mud caused by the sloppings the
little savage nodded deer and horse,
which were almost perfect in contour
and form. He displayed but little pains
in his work, to which he appeared to
adapt himself as naturally as an ordi-
nary white child would in making mud
pies. G. A. Richardson, has a specimen
