shufling off this mortal coil, when the
following colloquy ensued:
Pat-"Well, Jaimy, understand the
doctors have given ye up"
Jim-"Yis, Pat, it is most over wild

Here Pat started for the door, but, as
il suddenly recollecting Jimmy's dishon-
esty in stealing the Government timber,
he wheeled around to his friend and se-
riously and earnestly exclaimed:

Just tell them that ye don't know a divil

ENDLESS VARIETY
fHE YELLOWSTONE PARK.

Aha Yellowstone National Park ex.
tends sixty-6ve miles north and south
and fifty-five miles east and west, COM
prising 3,575 square miles, and is all
6,0OO feet or more above the sea-level.
Yellowstone lake, twenty miles by fif-
teen, has an altitude of 7,7SS feet. The
mountain ranges which hem in the
valleys on every side rise to the height
of 10000 to $4,000 feet, and are always
covered with snow. This great park,
says Mr.. Strahorn, contains the most
striking Of mountains, gorges, falls,
rivers and lakes in the whole Yellow
stone region. The springs on Gardeners
river cover an area of about one square
mile, and three or four square miles
thereabout are occupied by the remains
of springs which have ceased to flow.
The natural basins into which these
springs flow are from four to six feet in
diameter and from one to four feet in
depth. The principal ones are located
upon terraces midway up the sides of the
mountain. The banks of the Yellowstone
river abound with ravines and canons,
which are carved out Of the heart Of the
mountains through the hardest rocks.
The most remarkable OF these is the
canon Of Tower creek and Column
mountain. The latter, which extends
along the eastern bank Of the river for
upward Of two miles, is said to resemble
the Giants Causeway. The canon Of
Tower creek is about ten miles in length
and is so deep and gloomy that it is
called "The Devils Den." Where
Tower creek ends the Grand canon be-
gins. 1t is twenty miles in length,
impossible throughout, and inaccessible
OF the waters edge except at few
points. Its rugged edges are from 200
to 500 yards apart, and its depth is so
profound that no sound ever reaches the
ear from the bottom. The Grand canon
contains great multitude OF hot springs
Of sulphur, sulphate Of copper, alum,
etc. In the number and magnitude Of
its hot springs and geysers, the Yellow
stone Park surpasses oil the rest of the
world. There are probably fifty geysers
that throw o column OF water to the
height Of from 30 to 200 feet, and it is
stated that there are not fewer than
5000 springs; there are two kinds,
those depositing lime and those deposit
Ing silica. The temperature Of the cal
careous springs Is from 160 to ITO deg,
while that Of the others rises to 200 OF
more. The principal collections are the
upper and lower geyser basins OF the
Madison river and the calcareous springs
on Gardeners river. The great falls are
marvels TO which adventurous travellers
have gone only to return and report that
they are parts Of the wonders Of this
new American wonderland.

AT THE BARBEK,S.

"Do any Of your customers ever fall
asleep in the shavlng-chair ?"
"Oh, dear, yes" replied the barber,
Ticking off an intrusive morsel of soap
suds. "That often happens in the cold
weather, when men appreciate the
warmth and comfort Of the saloon after
coming in from the street. When see
an elderly fat gentleman coming down
stairs with toothpick in his mouth I
know 1 am going to have trouble, so I
shave quickly and talk to him all the
time, making remarks that call for q re-
ply, and occasionally splashing the suds
into his eye or getting the shaving
brush into his mouth. OF course he
doesn't like it. But it's the only way to
keep him awake. Worry him, sir, worry
him all the time. Keep stirring him up.
There are men, though, who will go to
sleep in spite of me, lolling back in the
chair and drawing the skin of the throat
so tight that it's almost temptation to
cut into it. They shut their eyes at
once, and only grunt when L ask if
Guiteau he's got new trial, or cut o
piece off them, or stick the brush in
their mouth but they're sound asleep
when I've finished shaving them,
and they get angry and swear when I
wake them.
at is wonderful, too, how much
trouble some of our customers take, un-
der the impression that they are helping
us. When man takes his lower lip
into his mouth and draws the skin over
his chin until it is tight as drum he is
adding considerably to our trouble, and
the slightest carelessness on our part is
sure to cut him. 1t is much easier to go
over o loose skin than tight one.
Now, if you will just blow all that al;
out Of your cheek 1 shall shave you
quicker and more safely. Thank you.

CROWNED HEADS.



Did you ever stop, gentle reader, in
your evenly-balanced and unchecked
career as a peaceful freeman of our glo.
rious Union, to consider how fortunate
it is for you that you were not alive 500
or 1000 years agoP Because if you had
been living then you might, and in all
probability would, have been King or
Queen of England, in which case your
wretched existence and miserable death
would have been assured.
There was King Edmund, who, while
feasting with all his mobiles about him,
was attacked by noted robber of the
day and stabbed to the heart. Without
pausing to inquire what the mobiles were
about to permit this murder, we will
proceed to King Edred. Edred was
bounded into dissoluteness by q favorite,
st. Dunstan, an ambitious priest, who
was permitted to run the governmental
machine pretty much as he pleased. Ed
wy, the successor of Edred, inherited the
partisanship Of Brother st. Dunstan, but,
choosing to marry against st. Dunstan's
will, he incurred the violent displeasure
of the man of God, who through the in
strumentality of Odo, then Archbishop
of Canterbury, caused the Queens face
to be burned with hot irons, and then
carried her away to Ireland, ana finally
killed her, the shock breaking poor
King Edwy's heart.
The next King, Edgar, reigned for
seventeen years, and, strange to say,
had no trouble at all, and finally died an
ordinary, everyday sort of death, at his
residence, No. 80 and so, such street,
Edgar, King of England, age 81 years,
II months and Is days. Friends of the
family invited to attend. The next to
assume the crown was Edward, who, a
very short time thereafter, was stabbed
in the back by hireling of his mother,
Elfrida, whose own son, Ethelred, ther
succeeded to the throne. King Edmund
was murdered by one Of his mobiles
King Harold died from the effects of 9
shot in the eye; William of Normandy
got o bruise that led to q wretched
death; William II. WIS shot with an ar.
row and killed; and so it went, the good
Kings and Queens being killed by the
bad people, while the bad sovereigns
were put out Of the way by the good
people.

but imperfectly learned their trade.
They infest shops, bother employers and

tsrvals that business is so fiat that skill
is not in demand, but there are frequen,
periods Of slackness when only skillful
and reliable men are wanted. There il
no royal road to the position Of skilled

close, attentive, patient plodhng Of the
apprentice through the lane of learning
into the broad road Of competent ac-
quirement. The entire matter resolve,

Of sticking to business. No looking

Death Of Roht. Holland.

We are panied to announce the
death of John Robert Holland, which
sad event occurred yesterday even-
ing at half past two o'clock, at the
residence of his fathers, Mr.. Richard
Holland, on North Walnut street.
Mr.. Holland was about thirty
years of age at the time of his death,
and for long time resident Of this
city, where he worked at the prin-
ter's trade. A few years ago he gave
up the business and went to Chris
tian county and engaged in farming.
t linking thereby to recrit his health.
This end was not accomplished
however, and he spent the past win.
ter in Florida, and only came to this
city few weeks ago, finding that
his time on earth was short and hav.
md a desire to die in his boyhOod
home.
This editor knew Robt. Holland
well. Side by side for many day
they worked at the type case, and il
gives us pleasure to say that we ever
found him kind hearted, pleasant
and noble purposes. Only few
days since we visited him, and found
him pale, emaciated, and just ready
to step out into the beyond. We .fel
sure then that the end was not fal
of, and it panied us to think of ont
who should have been just in thu
prime of life wasting away beneath
the whitening blight of consump-
ton.
To his aged father and mother and
his fair young wife we offer our ten
derest sympathy.-Paducah News.

cannot be induced to make
low catch-penny spectacle Of himself
for the sake of winning a few votes or
even gaining the prize We believe that
Governor Cleveland would prefer de-
featwith his dignity and self-respect
preserved to success gained at the price
at which Blaine is trying to win. And
the people, in their sane, sober senses,
would entertain higher regard for the
defeated candidate who had gone
through the campaign as digniied,
self-respecting man than for the vic
torious nominee who had won by the
vulgar methods Of the demagogue en-
ployed by Blaine.
We do not believe Blaine's tactics will
succeed, for the people are too wise to
be blinded by the glare of tinsel, but re-
fer to the matter merely for tie pur-
pose of calling attention to the differ
ence between the two candidates.

A WISE CHOICE.

The Territorial Convention of the
Peoples party, on Wednesday, did well
and wisely by renominating Hon. John
T. Game for Congress. The gentleman
has served in two Congresses, and given
abundant proof of the possession of the
large and peculiar ability necessary to
the successful performance of the duties
of the high Office of representative from
a great and growing Territory in the
national legislature. Beyond his excel
lent adaptability to the duties of the
place, Mr.. Game has also given proof,
if any further were necessary after his
thirty odd years residence in the Terri
tory, OF his strong devotion to the peo-
pie, and his conscientious earnestnesS
in doing battle for the preservation of
the political and religious rights
Of his fellow men. The HER
AID is confident that those who
are at all familiar with the position
of the Delegate to Congress from this
Territory representing a constituency
unlike that of any other member, and
being kept constantly on the alert to
guard against trickery as well as to pre-
vent the acceptance of 'falsehood and
misrepresentation as fact, being sub
jected to constant fire from the rear as
well as facing powerful enemy, ready
to take advantage Of any gap left I'M
closed-We are confident that all who
understand the situation and are &C
quainted with the active labors of the
Delegate, will agree that the gentleman
has served the people in a way to win
their perfect confidence and earn their
hearty approval The action OF the
convention is quite certain to meet the
endorsement of the voters who, two
years ago, made no mistake in calling
Mr.. Game to the high trust which he in
no instance has abused.
The campaign viii necessarily be
short, and it should be active and
thorough. 1t would greatly strengthen
the delegate at Washington were the
unanimous nomination emphasized by
the full vote of the Peoples party. 1t !
Will be an easy matter to call out the
strength of the party, and that little !
effort should be put forth in the form
Of a canvass OF the entire Territory.
