shape of a soul piercing call for the
landlord, who went up to see what
was the matter. 'Mr. Hotel Keep
err" said the foreigner pointing to
the terrapin, "I'm from New'Jer-
sey. Pm used to gallinippers, and
l can stand most anything; but
either that bug or me has got to
take another ROOM"
The so.called democratic party
organized a Singer" meeting in
New York on Friday last and ar
ranged to send several I'D mig
gers" to their Chicago convention.
1t will be difficult after very short
while to distinguish parties by col
ors of voters. They all want the
"nigger" vote.
The action of the Democratic
Conventions in Ohio and Indiana
illustrates clearly the division in
the Democratic party on the tariff
question. The Ohio Democrats
declared themselves squarely
against a tariff for revenue only,
while the tariff plank in the India
ma platform is a straddle, meaning
neither Free Trade nor Protection,
and designed to evade what Mr..
Carlisle and Mr.. Morrison say is the
"burning question.
Colonel Gray, just nominated for
Governor of Indiana by the Demo-
Gratis, was Governor Morton's right
hand man in forcing the Legisla-
ture of Indiana to ratify the Fiji
tenth amendment to the ConSti-
tuition; and the men whose opposi-
ton he aided in overcoming, but
whom he now pretends to act with
will accord him rather a perfuncto-
ry support in the coming fight
The Cincinnati Times-StGr says
that if Mr.. Tilden has chosen a pOliti'
cal heir it is as likely to be Mr.. Ran
dali as any one else.
The democrats of Indiana had to
take a renegade republican for
their candidate for governor. Time
was when the democrats sent all
new converts to the rear, but they
are a little hard pressed just now.
Henry Watterson, William II.
English, Col. Peyton, of Virginia,
and Mr.. Mcdonald investigated the
state of Mr.. Hendricks rheumatism
last Friday night. The distln'
guished sufferer promised to nomi-
nate Mr.. Mcdonald at Chicago, elf
physically able" Having regard
to the gravity ofthe situation, "The
National Republican freely advises
Mr.. Mcdonald to see that an abun-

The last visitation of cholera in
this country was in 1867. 1t be-
gan in Toulon in 1865, aud Mar
settles suffered severely from the
dreadful disease in October of that
year. Following the lines of travel
westward it reached the United
States the following year. The
telegraph now announces that cho-
llera has broken out at Marseilles,
and there is enough in the records
of the past to inspire dread of its
reaching our shores again. No
quarantine regulations can bemade
too rigid that tend to prevent such
a calamity.
| Somnolent lies the pickle in its
briny bath, and in dreamy idleness
the wad of chewing gum lies on
the window sill. Athwart the CLINT
ling sunbeams in theirlonely search
the shivered corset steel intrudes
its sinuOus length, while in the far
of delly dells of the bosky wood
land copse the curl paper autters
in sad-eyed idleness for the bangs
lit nevermore will clasp. A broken
garter here, an undarned stocking
there, few bent and scattered hair
pins-they are little things, but oh
how mutely yet pathetically they
tell the hungry heart that the sweet
girl graduate has fled and is now
engaged in catching beaus and
freckles.
Uncle James ION "a visit)-Well,
Bobby, | suppose you go to Sunday
school every Sunday?
Bobby did; but the Sunday
school is closed now.
Uncle James-Indeed And why
is it closed?
Bobby-Cause the minister has
gone to the mountains for bis
health.
Uncle James And cannot the
superintendent carry on the Sun
day school without the minister
