The foolish republican comparisons OF
defalcatioms under various administrations
refute themselves. They are manifestly
dishonest, stating what is known to be un-
true and suppressing what is VIGOROUSLY OF
record. But no complete and perfect show
ing of the truth can be had until the books
are open to those from whom they have
been concealed for twenty-five years, and
this can be done only by the election Of
Cleveland. Of course it is necessary to put
a certain amount of trust in rulers; but 1t is
contrary to the theory of our government
that the same set of people should rule us
for generations. Each party must, if affairs
are to be safely conducted, render an &C
count of its actions, to be passed on by
others.-Indec-Appeal.

''Speak in whispers, dearest; the old

"And do you love me?"
''Do I love you? I love you with a
strength that would knock Sullivan out in
one round"
"These stolen meetings are so lovely!
Don't you think so?" More kissing. Then
a voice from the house:
"Mary! Mar-yp
'pm coming, ma'am.'
There is rapturOus parting. Then the
young man, as he steals off, soliloquizes:

FOUR FRETFUL PORCUPINEs. Mid
dletown, N. Y, Nov 25. 25.-Porcurines,
which have been rare for many years,
have appeared in large numbers this
wear in portions of Orange and Sullivan
counties and In the Delaware valley.
Coon hunters have had several encoln
past few weeks, and number of valuable
dogs have been disabled by them. Isaac
Fisher of Carpenter Point had lively
experience with family of them on
Friday. He was hunting along the Dela-
ware below Port Jervis, at a spot known
as the Devils Slide, when he discovered
large porcupine summing itself on a
| rock. Fishers dog attacked the animal,
which lay with its quilts at rest, an ap-
parently harmless creature. At the first
onslaught Of the dog, however, the por-
cupine brought its sharp armor into use,
and the dog beat hasty retreat, yelping
at the top of his lungs, as his head re-
sembled pin cushion stuck full of need
les. 1t was covered with the sharp quills
of the porcupine, which were sunk deep
in the flesh. The dog did not tarry near
the spot. but kept on homeward at the
top of his speed. Tie porcupine had no
sooner vanquished the dog than it gave
a peculiar cry, and in few seconds three
others came running from the bushes
The whole four rushed at once upon
Fisher, with every quill erect. He shot
and killed one of them, but the other
three pressed him so closely that he was
unable to load his gun, and was com
PEELED to fight them with his weapon
dubbed.
Backing round and round the opening
in the brush, he managed to keep the
fierce animals from coming into Gloss
contact with him. but they kept up the
fight so persistently that Fisher finally
began to lose his wind. He was afraid
to turn aad run, as be did not know
what the result might be if he did not
keep the movements of the porcupines
i'm mediately under his eye. He yelled
for help, and fortunately man who wa;
hunting in the locality heard his erie.

pair of shoes, tor which this gentleman
took the measure. The order was given
to Lynn leading shoe manufacturer but
it was too much for him, and a pair of
shoes we're made from a special last in
Boston, aud sent the reverend gentleman.
The shoes are thirty fves. The length
from heel to toe is Just twenty inches,
and the width Of the ball including pro-
tuberance that may be corn, and may
be natural, is trifing over seven and a
