THE same old story-''didnt know it

where boy pointed a supposed empty
revolver at a young lady. 1t was too

If the best man God ever made ran
for the presidency, he would have to
wade chin-deep through obIoquy.
The first target was put up two weeks
ago, and the next will be put up two
weeks hence. The target with the
most holes in it will be elected presi-

eloquence or craftsmanship, all the
hounds of hell are turned against
him.-Talmage.

A LITTLE girl of this city hit it very
happily, yesterday, when she said one
reason why she was glad her father had

THE nomination of James c.. Blaine
has opened a new industry. A Maine
man has applied for letters-patent for
the manufacture of plumes from wood
fiber and other fluffy materials which
can be cheaply made, and, at the
same time, are very ornamental and
durable. He claims to be able to
produce a plume eighteen OF twenty
inces in length that can be sold for
so or Is sents, which, for campaign
Or street parade purposes, is as good
as So feather. As the plume is the
emblem in the campaign for the
"plumed knight the demand must
be large for that purpose.-Bee.

Bangor's Democratic Mayor is about as great
a curiosity as the What-is-it party Mayor OF
Portland. Recently an order was passed by
vote of to3. The Mayor declared the order
to be lost because, having the right to give
casting vote, he had voted against the bill.
Even after his own lawyer had made an opin-
ion against his claim, he insisted. Both. cities
will be likely to get rid of these remarkable
