Those who know Mrs. Martin best say
that she is even Drawer than she will adj

she was accosted by two men on foot who
begged a ride. They were rough look

once reined up and said:

She left the men at the grocery store

Upon another occasion Mrs. Martin

Others say that at one time, several
years ago, a son of a former mayor OF
Boston was a passenger with Mrs. Martin.
He was in haste, and at length broke into
impreoations on the horse, who, though
faithful, was by no means a rival OF

Look here, young man," said the
driver, 'you just stop swearing or gel

He stopped swearing, but on a subse'
quent occasion he was again sorely
tempted, but remembering the previous
rebuke and threat, he gave vent to hi
feelings in French, which answered JUS
as well for him and did not subject hin
to the danger of being obliged to finish
his journey on foot.

very frequently contain II clause pro-

may be that in some policies the use

Mr.. BLAINE, is still busily EN-
ployed in telling the people OF lndi-
ana that sit has been the aim and
desire OF the Republican party to
develop the material interests OF the
South, and to make her people forget
and the nation forget that We have
ever been foes, remembering only
that we are citizens of u common

looking to common destiny" Only
man whose soul has been case

audacity could make such state
ment as this. No American citizen,
in Indiana or out of Indiana, will
ever forget that the only remarkable
thing ever done by Il. b. Hayes was
his removal from the South, on which
they had fattened so long, those Re-
publican turkey-buzzards the carpet
baggers." This was not so long ago /;
and every one knows that the ear

obscurity, like so many ghouls and
afrites, by James q, Blaine and his
political kinsmen. The American
people is not to be gulled by any such
nonsense as that quoted above.

IT is stated that Macbeth, gentle
man who had invited to a banquet
some persons whose good opinion he
was very anxious to gain, was very
much disturbed by the untimcly APP
partition OF certain ghost which he
had fondly hoped was anywhere else.
Just so the unlocked for appearance
of Mr. Daniel insolvency on these
shores causes considerable consterna-
ton to the hosts at the feast which
the loving hands OF our Republican
brethren have spread Tor American
citizens of Irish birth. They had as
lief the devil walked into the ban
banqueting hall. They wish that Me
Sweeney had staid in Ireland, or that
the ship which bore hither him and a
considerable portion of the actual po-
litical future of this country were safe
at the bottom of the sea with Me
Sweeney still on board. 1t is further
related that when the wrath of Ban
quo appeared TO Macbeth he did moi
know what to do about it, just as
the Republican party are in terrib 9
"iunk" about the coming OF Nc
Sweeney. With blare of trumpets and
rattle OF drum our Republican breth-
rem had made known far and wide
the extraordinary detection that was
going on among lrish-American Dem
ocrats, but even the echoes Of these
courage-giying notes are gently diving.
