HIS OPPOSITE,

Humiliation has come to the family of
Prof. Causing, the celebrated physiolOgist.
Several days ago, John Causing, young
man of promise, married Chinese woman.
When the Professor heard of the disgraceful
affair, he swore that never again should
the worthless fellow find shelter under the
paternal roof Several days afterwards the
son came home, bringing his wife with him.
Unobserved, they entered the parlor. When
the old gentleman entered, not suspecting
his sons return, he was shocked by an ava
lanche of indignation.
Chow dare you bring this woman to my
house?" he exclaimed.
The young man was astonished. "Fath-
er, do not understand you," said he. II
thought that you would welcome my wife.
She doesn't speak very good English at
present, but, under your teaching, she can
overcome the difficulties of our uneven
tongue.
"Welcome your wife!" stormed the Pro-
fessor, "welcome such thing as she is!'
''Don't be violent in manner Ying Woo
is a gentle creature and your gestures might
frighten her."
elbow on earth can you love such crea-
ture?" said the humiliated father.
80, don't love her."
''Then why in thunder, sir, did you mar
ry herr"
"Old gentleman, there is no use in cutting
up. Respect for your teachings caused me
to marry her. In your lectures you say
that man should marry his opposite:
Some time ago began reading accounts OF
Chinese customs, and / found that they
were our opposites in everything. 1 have
followed your advice"
The Professor groaned.
''Besides that" continued the young man,
''the parents of this girl died recently, leav-
ing her the controlling stock in the largest
laundry of the country"
The Professors face frightened.
''She has considerable money on hand.
I have none. In this respect, too, we are
opposites."
The Professor laughed.
"She has generously consented to pay off
the mortgage on our place."
The Professor threw his arms around the
young wife and kissed her muskmelon
countenance. Releasing her, he turned to
his son and said:
"Iam pleased at your choice. The Chinese
are not nearly so yellow as they have been
painted. I should have married this sort
of a girl-not too opposite but just opposite
enough for all practical purposes. Your
mother, my son, is my opposite. l mar
ried her because she was my opposite, and
blast it, she has been opposite me ever since.
She is always opposed to me. You have
done we'll. The Chinese who come to this
country, hear, are not long lived. This
fair creature may die soon. When she
does, marry another opposite. ."-Arkansaac

THE PRESENT BLAINE PLAN.-A late
New York letter says: The Blaine plan for
the remainder ofthe campaign has been fully
developed during the last forty-eight hours.
Many leading Republicans have been here
in consultation. Among these was Pension
Commissioner Dudley, who managed the
late campaign for Blaine in Ohio. New
York is substantially given up as about Ger.
tain to go for Cleveland. 1t is recognized
that it would be uphill work to carry this
State. Little money will, therefore, bespent
here. The Republicans will make noisy
and denonstrative campaign in New York
and the Blaine caravan will 60 about, but
this will be done to divert the attention of
the Democratic managers. While all this
noise is being made keen Republican man
ayers will be Dudleyizing Indiana, New
Jersey and Connecticut.
BY these methods the Republicans expect
to get Indiana certain, and New Jersey II
desperate means will accomplish the result.
This would elect Blaine, provided he carried
the hitherto Republican States, even though
New York 60 against him: The Democrats
are baSing some hope on Wisconsin, but 1t
is not good reliance unless there should be
Cleveland cyclone. Should Blaine get the
naturally Republican States Cleveland will
have to get New York and Indiana, or
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
to be elected. He could not spare Indiana
and Connecticut nor Indiana and New
Jersey.
This is now the Democratic danger. 1t
may be discovered when it is too late
Dudley goes at once to Indiana, where
United States Marshals and Government
officials will be employed as in Ohio, to
debauch the State. The New Jersey cam
paign will be managed from this city. Mon
ey will be poured into both States, while
all over New York a ceaseless racket will
be maintained. There is not much danger
that the Democrats will lose New York,
but they may be caught mapping elsewhere.

more and accordingly will celebrate their
victory again next Saturday with gen

IF the enthusiasm on the occasion was
measured by the amount that Wisconsin
contributed to the success of Cleveland
and Hendricks very little powder would
be burned. But we Republicans can
realize the feelings of our Democratic
friends, having been there ourselves SO
many times before, but not this time.
