TEE WAToH.-It is stated on good authority that it is a well-known fact that no watch will keep the same time with two people. This is said to be owing to the temperament of the wearer, and it is claimed that even the mere physical difference in gait and movement between different people will affect the keeping of absolutely accurate time, and it is probable, also, that it is effected in some slight degree by the magnetism of the wearer.

Why Not Sue for Libel.

Some of the gutter-snipe newspapers
ask us why Governor Cleveland does
not sue the "Rev." Ball for libel. We
believe it has not been the custom for
candidates for the Presidency to begin
the campaign by sueing the cheap
mountebanks who revile them for par
tisan and mercenary purposes. But
why don't Mr.. Blaine sue the distin-
guished men and responsible journals
that have time and again charged him
with accepting bribes? Over and over
again these charges have been made
and Mr.. Blaine has not sued anybody
for libel. Let him begin with the New
York Tribune, the Chicago Tribune, the
Cincinnati Commercial, the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat and the Troy Times.
Each and every one of these prominens
Republican organs have accused James
q. Blaine of accepting bribes for his of
fetal rulings while holding the high of
ce of Speaker of the House of Represen-
tatives. Let Blaine begin his suits at
law. The Post will furnish him the
evidence on which to base his suits and
will charge nothing for its services. 1t
may be that here is chance for Mr..
Blaine to make more money than he
will realize from his "Twenty Years in
Congress. .'-BOstOn Post.
