BoIdness OfBIuf.


A stray horse which had been running
for several months within short distance
of Weiser City, Idaho, was claimed and
sold by a saloon-keeper named T.. A
stranger, who had Just arrived in the
locality, hearing the circumstances, pro-
cured description Of the animal, called
on Mr.. c., and asked if he sold such a
horse.
81 did, Mr.. C. replied.
''By what authorityp was the next
query.
81 claimed him. said G.
ssWell," said the stranger, E'there is no
use disputing about the matter. You
claimed him and claim him. Wen just

''StOp, STOP" exclaimed c., ''there is no
use of that; if l made a mistake l am very
sorry, and am perfectly willing to make
amends"
snow, Mr.. c." the stranger replied,
"don't aggravate the defense by denying
it. You would stand far higher in my
estimation If you acknowledged that you
stole the horse"
SWELL" said c., ''we won't quarrel.
Say what you value the animal at and Pll
pay YOU"
fFifty dollars" was the answer.
Five minutes after the stranger departed
with that amount in his pocket, having
received payment for a horse he never

Flirting at Bar Harbor.


"What do 1 think of American girls ?"
said handsome young foreigner who has
been in this country only a few months.
''They are charming. | have, however,
noticed in nearly all of them
an alarming tendency to fiirt. Their
Irritation astOnisbed me at first, and
even now they almost alarm me
every time l think Of them. Why, just
look at Miss SO-and-So'' mentioning a
well known society young LADY, ''if she
should carry on in London or Paris as she
does at Bar Harbor this summer, society
would be shocked and almost scandaliZed.
1t all comes, 1 suppose, from your So
called American independence. The girls
here have more liberty than in any other
country, and at the Summer resorts
especially they believe in having a good
time at whatever cost. When | first went
to Bar Harbor the young lady 1 mentioned
and Mr.. Blank were together almost
constantly, and from the air that he as
sumed toward her l thought as a matter
Of course they must be engaged: In less
than one week Mr.. Blank seemed to lose
all favor in her bewitching eyes, and in a
day or two another young gentleman had
taken his place, and was almost constant
ly by her side. His life was also a short
one, il may use this expression. An
other young man suddenly won her good
graces, and in a few days still another.

Buffers Intentions.

A lew days ago the question was: What
effect will the nomination Of st. John
have on the result of the campaign? The
question now is What effect will Buffers
candidacy have on the election9 OF
course there is a variety Of opinions.
Some belittle Butler and his pretensions,
and others are inclined to magnify his
influence and his power. If audacity
counts for anything, Butler Will
cut quite figure in the
campaign. He has audacitv enough
for halfa dozen candidates. 1t is proba-
BILE that when he left Chicago he had no
intention Of remaining in the field as the
Greenback and Anti-MOnOpOlist candi-
date. In fact, it was stated, and has not
yet been cOntradicted, that he publicly
announced his intention of supporting the
Democratic ticket. The temporary set
back which Cleyeland's canvass received
by the publication of the Buffalo'sto
and the growing dissatisfaction among
Republicans with Blaine, no doubt en-
couraged Butler to remain a candidate.
He is not so foolish as to think that he can
be elected. He probably does not hope to
carry a single State.
Nobody knows better than he does, per-
haps, that he is a demagOgue and a
fraud; but at the same time he knows
that he is a very shrewd demagOgue, and
that a certain class of people admire him
and viii support him. Of course he is not
an anti-monopOlist. His record in Con-
gress would make a genuine anti-monopo-
Is~4 i'll - Il,
of an anti-monOpolist as Jay Gould or
Cyrus w. Field is. He may be a Green
hacker, but what's the difference whether
he is or not? Greenbackism is dead. He
may be a friend of the workingmen, but
how is it to be proven? What has he ever
done for them? 1t is true that he says he
is their friend, but that IS because he is a
demagogue. He is the friend of every
class that is likely to contribute anything
to the realization of his ambition. He is
rich-worth millions, it is said. Has he
ever contributed a dollar towards impIov-
ing the condition Of wOrkingmen? He is a
stakeholder in great cotton mills, and it
has been said that the operatives in these
mills are worked harder than those of
any other mills in New England.
But if Butler has no hope of being
elected, what is his purpose in becoming a
candidate? 1t is probable that he has a
double purpose. First, he likes the ex-
element and notoriety which such a
position brings, and, second, he thinks,
perhaps, that he may be able to make
terms with one or the other Of the great
parties that will give HIM a prominent
place in the next administration. He is
certain to have a pretty large following in
New York, and, perhaps, in other doubt
full States. Towards the latter end of the
campaign he may be induced to with
draw and to turn over, as far as he can,
his following to either Cleveland or
Blaine. OF course Butler would not ex-
pect to do anything of that kind without
promise Of reward. This explanation of
Buffers intentions may be unjust to him,
but it is not inconsistent with his record.

Work for Women.

A Richmond gentleman has presented
20 the Virginia Agricultural Fair Asso-
citation handsome gold medal valued at
$25, to be awarded as a special premium
for the best essay on ''self-supporting en-
plOyment for ladies in the Southern
States" The gentleman in question
seems to appreciate the fact that, al
though nearly twenty years have elapsed
since the war which reduced the South to
poverty ended, there are yet thousands of
women who must depend on their own
exertiOns for support, and who may be
materially benefited by whatever sug-
gestions may be made in the essay pro-
posed.
While there are many occupations open
to woman, many of them too greatly tax
her strength or force her out of her proper
sphere. In many such stations she soon
becomes an invalid or prematurely old
and decrepid, and of course is not then
able to earn a living at anything.
Such an essay may do much good, pro-
vided it is placed in the hands Of any
considerable number of women, who are
forced by necessity to rely on their own
eXertiOns, but working women need prac-
teal training, combined with suggestions
as to economy, etc. In some OF the larger
cities training schools for women and
children have partially supplied these
needs, and are greatly beneficial to those
who have access to them. There
should be more of these schools. If
properly conducted, women could acquire
knowledge in a half dozen evenings
attendance that would enable them to
greatly lessen their toll by enabling them
TO avoid unnecessary exertion, and make
their work more effective so far as results
are concerned. These schools are con-
Quoted by charitable ladies who have
means and leisure to devote to them, and
the pupils are not required to pay for the
instruction given, and they are managed
so that those attending do not feel at all
embarrassed or Inundated.
There are plenty of avocations suitable
to women, though they often have trouble
to find proper employment. These schools
generally act as employment agencies
where situations may be secUMed without
expense. Every community should have
one or more institutions of the kind, for
they are not only Of great help to the de-
serving class for which they are prima-
rily Intended, but are indirectly beneficial
to everybody in the community. 1t would
be well were the number of these schools
increased and their scope enlarged.

Campaign Suggestion.


Our New York correspondent calls at
tention to a suggestion that is receiving
some attention from Democratic leaders.
1t is that the Democrats shall not noml-
nate electoral tickets in Kansas and Iowa,
but shall indorse and support the Pro-
hibition electors. The Republicans will,
in all probability, carry both of these
States if the Democrats and Prohibition
lists each nominate an electoral ticket,
but it is about certain that they could
carry neither if the Democrats and
Prohibitionists were to act together. At
the last State election in Iowa the Repub-
licans carried the State by majority OF
only l 800 over the Democratic and Pro-
hibition parties, and the Prohibitionlsts
are much stronger now than they were
then. In Kansas the showingis not quite
so favorable, but the great progress which
the Prohibition movement has made in
the last year, and which it promises to
make before the election, jIstifies the
conclusion that to wrench the State from
the Republicans is not an impOsslbility
OF course to give Kansas and Iowa to the
Prohibitionists would not increase the
electoral vote of the Democrats, but
it might throw the election into
the House of Representatives, where
the Democratic candidates would be
chosen. 1t would take. from the Repub-
licans two States that are absolutely
necessary to them under the most fayora-
Bile circumstances. This scheme, how
ever, has one great drawback. In other
States than the two mentioned the Demo
Gratis are receiving large accessions OF
German voters. The Germans are de-
| sorting the Republican party because
| that party has led in temperance legisla-
ton. If the Democrats should join hands
with the Prohibitionists in any State for
any purpose, would not the Germans be-
come alarmed and return to the Republi-
can party? While the suggestion in
question appears to have some force, it is
not the kind to be adopted without care
full consideration.
