lady, his horse SHE'D at pool of water and jump

out of the wagon to catch the horse, to prevent
his jumping into gully at the side of the road,
the road bed being very narrow at that point. In
alghting from the buggy, he got his foot caught
in one of the wheels and broke his leg between the
knee and ankle. Mr.. John Koch and Mr.. Wilson
Ritter, being near at hand, got Mr.. Brodie into
the atters carriage and took him to the residence
Of Mr.. Hargis, and DR.. George F. Corse was called

Fire at Calverton.-A correspondent at
Calverton sends us the following "Mess. Editors:
AT l o'clock on Thursday morning fire was dis
covered in the wash-room of the Sheeler & Ripple
House, situated on the Calverton road, near Bal
timore street, just outside the city limits and in
the section proposed to be annexed to the city.
The business men at the stock yards, after their
experience with the soda fountains at the fire on
Lexington street and Calverton road, being salts
fed that that pet institution of the late Commits
sioners was of far more use in professions than
at fires, established at great expense, system of
fre-plugs, purchased hose and placed themselves
in position to protect their property until the
wish of the people of the belt is satisfied and they
become part of Baltimore city. The inmates of
the house, together with the boarders at the CAL
verton Hotel, responded promptly to the alarm
and under the command of Mr.. r. Thomas soon
succeeded, with their fire department, in subduing
the flames, with loss of only about $500. The
only mishap connected with the fire was caused
by the proprietor of the house slipping from the
roof into Darrell of soft-soap, much to his dis
comfort. It's needless to add that the soda foun-
tains did not put in appearance"

obscurity of Cleveland.

Gen Dan Sickles Is strong Democrat
Four years ago he made speeches for Gen.
Hancock, but he can't support Cleveland He
SAYS the State of New York has 500 Democrats
who rank him in the knowledge required for
the Presidential office. Never, he says were
men so terribly deceived in a man as in Cleye-
land in the Chicago Convention. He adds:
Cleveland is an ignorant mana terribly lg-
norant man. He cannot be otherwise when he
will 80 far outrage executive dignity and pro-
priety as to write letter demanding that
certain state senator shall not be reelected be-
cause obnoxious to Inn. This is what he did
about Grady. Suppose the president OF the
United States should write a letter demanding
the resignation of a judge OF the supreme
court because the latters rulings were osnoX-
ious to the chief executive, how many million
votes would that president be hurled under If
he should come up for reelection? Why, he
would be the worst defeated man that ever ran
for office In the exercise of the veto power
Cleveland has shown equal ignorance. He
seems to think that the veto is given to the
governor to be exercised in running the ship
of state in the same manner as a man uses the
arbitrary power of proprietorship to run fac
tory.
Further on in his remarks Gen. sickles
said:
made speech at Buffalo four years ago
for Gen Hancock All the prominent Demo
Gratis of the city were present was told not
one was absent Grover Cleveland was not
among them He was not considered eminent
or prominent even from a local standpoint
He was without home standing, and is still
without it. John Kelly nominated him for
Governor in a quarrel of factions, and because
a couple of hundred thousand Republicans
staid al home in the election that ensued the
Democratic delegates at Chicago jumped to the
conclusion that Mr. Cleveland carries New
York in his capaclous yest-pocket Never
were men so deceived Cleveland is an
ignorant mana terribly ignorant man. He
cann6t be otherwise when he will outrage Ex-
eeutive dignity and propriety to write a let
ter demanding that certain State Senator
shall not be reelected because obnoxious to
him That was what he said about Grady
It's really a frightful thing TO say that four
years ago Cleveland was not prominent DEM
ocrat in his own town The fact is, he was
drawn in the lottery of availability, and was
not prize.

Grady and Cleveland.

Chicago Inter Ocean.
1t is possible the Cleveland faction of the
democracy in Buffalo made serious mistake
in bowling down Mr.. Grady the other evening.
Besides the discourtesy of such conduct, and
it was discourtesy stretched to the bound Of
of violent rudeness, there is involved a consid-
Grafton of principles and policy which touch
the democracy itself Mr. Grady is man who
has the courage of his convictions clear
ly and impressiyely understood. For
reasons sufficient unto himself he stood
resolutely by the prejudices expressed in
National convention and refused to adj
yocate the interests of the nominee OF that
convention. He has too much animel vitality
and too positive an energy of Thought to be an
inactive sulker, and SO did not content himself
with refusing to accept Cleveland, but set ear
nestly about showing the public that he thor
oughly ard heartily repudated him as lead
er
At the same time he said or did nothing to
indicate That he was any less ardenuy devoted
to the theories and purposes of the Democratic
party thar he had ever been, and it is fact
that he has always affiliated with the extrem-
lists of Democracy. Mr. Grady simply declared
he did not believe Grover Cleveland TO be for
the office Of President of the United States,
an apinion great many democrats entertain
who have not the personal independence and
York democracy. Finding another democratic
candidate in the field, one whom he thought
as choice between two evils perhaps, prefer
able to the regular nominee. he turned ms IN
fiuence and oratoric powers in that direction,
and took the stump for Butler.
The Massachusetts, defnagogue is a thor
ough-going, dyed-in-t he-wood democrat, as
everybody truly knows and In the esti-
nation Of most intelligent people was
very much more deserving of nomination
at the voice of his party than the chance Gov
ernor of New York. AS a Democrat, Mr.
Grady was justified in supporting him This
being the case, it was very uncivil In Demo
Gratis with other and not honester views to shut
him off from pleading his cause, denying MIN
hearing, and treating his convictions with
contempt
Now there are thousands of Democrats who
think entirely as does Mr. Grady, but who
have not, because of party allegiance, taken
position with him against the Cleveland ticket
Nevertheless they are not so welded to the
interests of the Sheriff Governor that they are
willing for his sake to have stanch, sincere, and
capable, though dissident, Democrat insulted
and shut off from that highest of American priv
ileges, freedom of speech. As Mr. Grady has o
large and adniring following in his own State,
and many friends throughout the country who
lean kindly toward him, the Buffalo faction
hazarded much in eondemning him. and the un-
seemly proceeding will not be less CALLING be-
cause it occurred in the very home of the not
overpopular Cleveland. The Democracy is get
ting pretty well tangled up in the rope literally
paid out to hy varied circumstances, and is
committing a great many hot-headed mistakes
in consequence.

a Drunken Woman.

There is pathetic interest about the
story of Mrs. Wylie, woman OF wealth
and high social standing, who was COM
mitted to private lunatic asylum a
year or two ago as an incorrigibie drunk
ard, and whose friends now make the
story public as means of securing her
release. Unfortunately, such stories
are not rare. It seems mistaken kind
ness to open q record which charity
would prefer to conceal forever. TWEEN
tv years ago there lived in handsome
style in this city welded pair who had
an income of $25, 900 each, and in all
respects were the envy of their friends.
He was the son of Quaker merchant
on Pearl street, and she belonged to
one of the Oldest families in the city. A
large family grew up about them, and
as they grew up a habit of drinking
fastened upon both father and mother.
The would sit at the table daily and
drink to intoxication. Finally the father
died, but the mother kept right on in
her evil ways, and at last turned the
three oldest children out of the house.
In the end the coachman, an ignorant
but quick witted fellow, got the upper
hand of the household, turned the three
younger children adrift and assumed
control. Friends frightened him away,
and, hesitatiang to resort to extreme
measures, they talked and delayed until
nearly all of the children's property was
gone an d their mother was wreck. 1t
would have been far better to have
placed her in confinement twenty years
ago than to have allowed her to exhibit
herself as she sometimes does to old
friends red, coarse ,disheveled and clad
in torn rusty black-the sodden wreck
of what was once one of the most grace
full leaders of New York society, and
one of the inspiring spirits in church
circles.

The Boy-So1dier.

1t was charged upon Napoleon, dur
ing his last campaign, that he had II
fed the cradles of France to fill up his
army. Yet these French infants fought
at Waterloo, with the courage of vet
Grams.
During our own Cival War, boys
served in the ranks of both armies, and
showed themselves heroes. The cool,
unfinching courage of "the Drummer
Boy of Chattanooga" has become histor-'
ical, and the following anecdote, taken
from "Blue and Gray" displays the
grit of a Confederate lad of sixteen:
During the battle of Characteristic,
a Confederate major met lad return
ing from the front. His arm, held by
shreds of flesh, was dangling from the
elbow.
Mister" said the boy to the officer,
''can't you cut this thing off? 1t keeps
knocking against the trees, and it's
nightly in my way"
The major dismounted, cut off the
useless limb, and tied strip of his
blouse around the stump to stop the
bleeding. "What regiment do you be-
long TOP he asked his thankful patient.

Regiment IN there, answered the lad,

first fight. Don't you think it is hard
that should get hit the first time l
ever was in battle? We drove them
out of one line of breast-works, and /
was on the top of the second, when I
got hit. But oh, how we did make them

How She Cur1ed Her Hair.

From the Providence Journal
She was very pretty girl, tastefully
dressed, and her brown hair curled and
rolled about her low white forehead in
a way that was enhancing, considering
how hot tue weather was, and how many
fair locks that had been curled that
morning were hanging in straight
strings over the fair owners eyes. 1t
was warm in church, too, and fans were
rafting in every seat. There were lots
of flies about, but people seated in her
immediate vicinity were pleased to notice
that they all assembled and hoyered
around the pretty girl, and only the
young man who sat beside her was
troubled occasionally by the little pest
erers that she impatiently brushed from
her face when they became unbearably
annoying. At the conclusion of the
service the pretty girl and her escort
walked out with the rest of the congre-
cation, and the young man was heard
to exclaim, "By Georgel did you ever
see so many flies Nell?" And Nell re-
piled in smothered and remorseful
tones: did you notice them, Fred? /
shall never try that again; | curled my
hair with sugar and water this morn
ing" And then the flies discovered
their departing victim in the throng,
and with an exciting buzz made for her.
1t doesn't do for even a pretty girl to be
too hy.
