State Senator.

In the primary Convention of the First
ward Hon. d. T. Lincgar was nominated
for the State Senate, and some of his friends
insist on his promotion to the upper house
OF the Legislature. Alexander County has
never had Senator since the adoption of
the constitution of 1870. There is neither
policy nor reason for giving up the Senator
ship any longer to the other counties. Alex.
ander County 10 the past has stood by
Union and we may expect the assistance
of Union County, If we ask the Senator.

How Hc Shot tho Panther.

Three or four passengers struck up
n conversation in smoking car on the
Baltimore & Ohio, and, of course, each
man had to tell a story. They were re-
latng how badly they had ever been
scared, when mn old Vermont yankee,
with an elongated jaw and accent, took
his turn.
Meow, I'm goin' to tell ye q truc
story, and so ye needn't ask me II l
manufactured II out o. the hull cloth.
IL was up in old Vairmon't, bout seven
year ago | was a-kecpin' sugar bush

Rutland. One night the boys left me
oout in tho camp all alone to mind tho
klttlos. Guess IL ware nigh mornin'
when walked up out o cat nap, and,
by gosh, up in n tree, not more'n twen-
ty feet from mo, was tho two shinin'
eyes Of II whoppin' big painter. An
could see his tail a-whiskin' reound ns
II ho was just ready to spring ut me.
Wall, was too old camper TO run
rom n painter so got eout my old
gun and give him ono right between
the eyes. But I'll bo gosh-darned II no
over stirred, but kept on whiskin' his
tail So, kinder cool like, / gi~, him
another one, cal'clatin' that would fix
him. But THAR was his two eyes u
gllstnin in tho dark same as ever. Then
begun to got leetlc kind o. skeered,
but kept on pcppcrin him with load,
an dog my skin II ho didn't keep on
glairin at me. Artcr | had wasted
bout two shillin's' wuth Of ammunition
my powder run out, an no lied down
by the lire, with that mir cuss's eyes a.
shinin' at me- Tho longer | laid there
the moro excited and a-feared got.
Aboout that time I'd a-given all tho
sugar In Varmont TO hev been at hum.
But tho curiouscst thing was, whom

''Jus what tho boys said next day."
replied tho Vermonter. "But Of they'd
scon them eyes o. his'n, they wouldn't
say so. Old iIez johnson mado 40
much fun Of me wo had fuss about IL,
though wo do belong to tho samo
church down to Rutland. He said he
wa afraid of no such painter, and
30 he staid to mind tho kittlos that
night. But beout dark he ran homo
hollerin' and scrcamin'-he had seen
the painter, too, an wasn't laughin' at
me just then. "
80 it was really pantherp"
"Wall, no; yo 500 there was dead

inches apart into the old trunk, an had

An Unsatisfactory Interview.

A benevolent old lady met scrubby
looking little colored girl on Sixth av-

kind word to her.

asked the old lady.

piled the brunette.

the old lady, looking reprovingly over

"No, 'tain't. It's jeth plain Lille

Purely u Matter OF Taste.

Previous to entering upon his present
calling Mr.. Pfafiln was locomotive
engineer. When tho lady reached the
store she had tho good fortune to find
Mr.. Pfufllin in, and she asked his
judgment on the style and brand of q
piano.
THAT depends upon your taste, mad
am, rsaid he. "If you want to COM
bine elegance with utility l would sug-
gest the old-fashioned square piano. It
answers for an ornament, makes music,
and can be used for n dining table and
bed when you have company. This
kind of an instrument should not be
selected for small cab. because It
doesn't leave room for firing up. They
make Just rs much steam as the up
right, but, owing to the position Of tho
harp, they let down in the flues much
quicker. Being wide gauge, the wear
and tear are also very great. II you
want perfect working, handsome
machine, take the upright. 1t is mar
row gauge, hung low on the trucks,
and has all the modern improvements,
including patent brake and snow pillow.
The running board Is the same size Of
the square, and she carries just as
much steam. You can work It in small
space and get as much sound out of It
as you could with the old-fashioned
steamboat whistles. Her woodwork is
as neat as Pullman sleeper, and If
you keep her well packed and oiled she
works as slick as old Seventy-four. |

The Sun then proceeds to say that there
is nothing wrong in the fullest examina-
tion of the charges against Mr.. Blaine and
continues:
II the character of Mr.. Blaine Will not boar
such an examination, he Is not At to DO Presi-
dent.
The SIN concludes its article in the fol-
lowing language:
But the accusations against Mr.. Cleveland
are nrst produced on the eve OF a Presidential
election, Just after ho has been nominated.
They have never been things OF public noto.
true, 1t is fair to infer that they would have
been produced aud established long ago.
Moreover, there Is now no time to Inquire into
them and to determine whether they are true
as go much gossip. They cannot be taken Into
estimation In ascertaining Mr.. Oleveland's 1t-
ness for the oflco for which he is candidate.
No accusations produced without legal proof
after the nomination OF candidate are worth
O copper, and tho publication OF such accusa-
tions is scandal OF itself.
Did any sensible man ever hear Of such
downright pettifogging before2
Because somo man who had personal
grievance against Mr.. Blaine few years
ago and who has since turned out TO be n
bank wrecler and thief caused an inves-
tigation into his public acts, is ii a proper
thing now to go into his personal and pri-
vate affairs because he Is tho candidate Of
the Republican party for President I?
According to the Sun, Mr.. Blaine's char
acter Is to bo smirched from Maine TO Cali
fornia. But because Mr.. Clevelaud's has
never been inyestigat: j, either iudicially
or by Congressional committee, and the
charges have just been brought to light, his
wrong-doing must not be mentioned. Such
nonsense, emanating from such a journal as
the siui, is to 10 piti,d rather than taken
into serious consideration.

WELL, it seems that the old Hunker
Democratic machine won't work no how
this year. At the meeting Of tho Demo-
cratic National Committee yesterday in
New York, one member Of the committee
said it would be the "making of the party
If Tammany and Butler would both remain
out and allow the party to succeed without
them.' Another member caid that "the
accession of George William Curtis and the
dudes who had villifed Democrats for
many years, must not be counted upon as
bringing much strength to the Democracy.
1t had tendency to drive Democrats out
of the party" Herbert o. Thompson,
Cleveland's right-haud man after Dan
Manning, said that "Tammany was merely
waiting to make bargain and that as soon
as she found that the party was not going
to buy her, she would turn in and support
the ticket" Mr. Prince, who was elected
secretary Of tho committee, indorsed tho
idea that Tammauy was purchasable COM
modify and could be had for proper COM
pensation. And SO it went all through the
consultation. What one man said, tho next
man to speak denied; if one man
consoled himself aud confreres with
Curtis & Co., tho next man de-
nounced them as source of weak
ness. One man wanted Tammany to come
in, while the next one hop,d the brave;
would stay out, and so it goes all along the
ne-wrhngling,d ,disputing, kicking, scratch,
ing and contradiction everywhere. Tho
old machine squeaks and groans and roll!
and tumbles and it will probably go an tx
smash long before the ides Of November.

HERE is case whero little American
Jingoism would come In pat. About nine
months ago Mr.. Gardner, q citizen Of the
United States, was an engineer on tho Mex
lean National Railroad. On one Of his reg
ular trips over the road drunken Mexi.
can on tho Mexican side of the line was
lying on tho railroad, and, not being soon
in time, he was knocked Off the road and
somewhat injured. Gardner was arrested
by the Mexican authorities, and for nine
months or more has been incarcerated in
one of the most loathsome dungeons on the
face of the green earth. And he is con-
fined there to-day, oppressed and distressed,
and tantalized with the sight of the flag
of his country flying in the breeze beneath
his very eyes. Yet it brings him no relief,
affords him no aid, covers him not beneath
its shielding folds, and ho is thus permitt,i
to linger on month after month in anguish
unutterablo. 1t is such cases as these that
make the pulses fly whenever the name Of
Blaine is mentioned, for the people believe
that If Blaine is elected there will be deliv-
crence brought to many captive now Ian
gushing in many foreign prison. Our
eyes rs nation have been introverted too
long. 1t is time that We looked abroad to
see if we, as a nation, occupy the position
We ought to occupy among the nations Of
the earth, and whether the rights of our
citizens abroad are respected as they should
be respected. If this be Jingolsm, it is tiu,e
we indulged in some of it.
