The head clerk in western record

"See here! Are you opaque?" said a
gentleman to person standing in

it. Pm ODonnegan!" was the reply.
"And now that you have graduated
from college, Tom, what do you expect

During the organization of the

Mendins His Fences.

The origin of this expression, saws
the st. Louis Globe Democrat, is as
follows: During the great prelimima-
ry campaign of 1890, the leaders of the
republican party had each marshaled
his forces, and all were preparing for
the memorable contest i'll which the
famous 1896" stood charge after
charge, and which resulted in the nom
inatiOn of Garfield. Among those who
occupied large place in the republi-
can mind at that time was John Sher-
man, the little giant of Ohio. Some
weeks previous to the assembling of
the republican national convention at
Chicago, Secretary Sherman visited
his farm at Mansfield, as he always
does at that time of y"ar, to see that
everything was in good trim. Among
those who called upon him was Col.
MOultOn of Cincinnati, lris. brother-in-
law. The two were strOlling in the
fields one day, and just as the secreta-
ry was replacing a few rails that had
fallen down, Il reporter came along and
asked Mr.. Sherman what he was doing,
meaning of course, politically. Col.
Moulton turned the point neatly by
observing, "Why you can see for your
self; he's mending his fences" The
explanation was telegraphcd all over
the country and taken up and swiftly
made n synonym for efforts OH the part
of the politician to advance his own
cause, especially by way of repairs and
liking up things in quiet way.

The total amount of receipts of the
American board for the year amounted
to 1888 ,353.5l, of which little more
than S42S, ,S5l 40 are from donatiOns-a
larger sum than has ever been received
into the treasury of the Board in any
one year. A review of the donations
for twenty-five years, in periods of five
years each, shows steady increase in
the yearly average of the Congrega-
tional churches, from eighteen cents per
member in I6S0-S4. The Board has
under its charge $40 stations and out
stations, 292 churches, about 81 900
church members, and 1890 workers, of
whom l5S are ordained missionaries.
1t is also supporting fifty schools and
seminaries, with an aggregate number
of 81, 800 pupils.

cleaning the teeth will harden the
gums and prevent soft decay, which is
serious evil which many desire to

From the report of the bureau of sta
tistics it appears that the value of the
industrial products of the United States
is seven times the total value of our
foreign commerce, nearly three times
the total value of the foreign commerce
of Great Britain and five times that of
France, including in each case both inn
ports and exports.
