SARATOGA n. Y. August l5.-Mr
Blaipe's libel suit against the Indianapolis
Sentinel formed the leading topic Of eonver-
sstion on the hotel piazza to-day. His
prompt action seems to be generally com
mended. Republicans contrast the course
he has pursued with the tsrdy vindicatiou OF
Mr.. Cleveland, and say that Mr.. Blaine will
strengthen himself greatly with all classes BY
springing to the front at once in defense OF
his home and family. Democrats, how
ever. can see nothing but political trlck
in the suit. They claim that B.Aine Is anx-
ious to pose as moral hero to distract At
tsption from his alleged political short

The Future Coachmau.

The man who keeps a fiery team and
handsome daughters is in Guandary.
II he engages rs cOachman the usual
dashing young man the chances aDe
that the dash:ng V. m. will dash OIL
with one of the handsome daughters.
If he engages some old fellow the chan
ces are that the spirited horses will
dash off with him. On the one hand
the happiness of the family is in danger
of being wrecked On the other hand
the family itself is in danger of being
wrecked by runaway team. 1t seems
TO be the alternative between run
away horse and runaway daughter.
The only remedy appears to be that pa
terfamilias shall put none but eligible
Young men on the coachman's box.
This opens a new field for our young
society men who at present stand all
the day idle.
Il would like position as coach
man." the Young man will say to the
old man.
What is your genealogy??" asks the
ancient.
Il come from the oldest Manhattan
families. the Schneiders and the Schoon-
erhondzenburgs."

Amateur" writes me that he is
about to publish book, and asks me if
l will be kind enough to suggest some
good. reliable publisher for him.
This would suggest that amateur
wishes to confer his book on some de-
serving publisher with view to build
ing him up and pouring golden stream
of wealth into his Golfers. '.Amatuer"
already. in his minds eve, sees the ca
ger millions of readers knocking each
other down and trampling upon one an
other in their mad rush for his book.
In my mind, zee his eye, lighted up
with hope, and. though he lives in New
Jersey, fancy can hear his quicken
ed breath as his bosom heaves.
Evidently he has never published a
book. There is a good deal of fun
that he does not wot of. / used to
think that when got the last page o
my book ready for the press, the front
yard would be full of publishers tramp
ing down the velvet lawn and the meek
eyed pansies in their crazy efforts to
get hold of the manuscript, but when l
had written the last word of my first
volume of soul throb, and had opened
the easement to look out on the howl
ing, hungry mob of publishers, with
check-books in one hand and pillow
case full of scads in the other, l was a
little puzzled to notice the abrupt and
pronounced manner in which they were
not there.
All of us have to struggle before we
can catch the eye of the Speaker. Mil
ton didn't get one fiftieth as much for
Paradise Lost as got for my first
book, and yet you can find people to-
day who claim that if Milton had lived
he could have knocked the socks off of
me with one hand tied behind him.
Recollect, however, that am not here
to open discussion on that matter.
Every one is entitled to his own opinion
in relation to authors. People cannot
agree on the relative merits of litera-
ture. Now, for instance, last summer
i met man over in South Park, Col. =,
who could repeat page after page of
Shakespeare, and yet, when asked him
if he was familiar with the poems of the
''Sweet Singer of Michigan" he turned
upon me look of stolid vacancy, and
admitted that he had never heard of
her in his life.

Solomon I'm the Shade.

When Solomon was asked to decide
which of two women child belonged
to he called for his sword and proposed
TO cut the child in two and give half
to each; the real mother went INTO hys-
terics. and solomon decided in her faV-
or. But at the mixed court. few
mornings ago, an actual division was
made. and Solomon's Judgment was

pute was bl-,k dog. with his tail

or wherever his tether would allow him
to extend his explorations. The claim
ants for the dog were butcher and
a washerman. The butchers assistant
held string. with the dog at the end OF
it. The washerman held basket IN
his hand containing hair which he had
clipped from thu dogs tail. and which
he produced in proofof ownership. Mr.
HOwes, inspector of markets, stated
that he had known the ebutcherformany
wears. and that he had seen the dog at
his place; and that he believed the dog
belonged to the butcher. 1t was also
stated by the police that an experiment
had been tried at Hongkow police sta
ton; the washerman called on the dog
but it would not follow him: Bht
when the butcher called, the dog heard
his masters voice and knew the sound
thereof. AS last resort to prove that
the dog loved him and belonged to him,
the washerman pulled off his jacket and
showed a plaster stuck between his
shoulder blades. saving that the dog
had bit him there. The magistrate de-
| cided in favor of the washerman so fal
that he was allowed to keep the basket,
full of hair, and the butcher was allow

Cruelty of ShOwmen.

81 have just returned from Long
Island. where have been investigating
complaints of cruelty to dogs" said
Superintendent HarkinsOn, of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals. '.In those museums, the
cruel ring-masters put small saddles on
the dogs, and then make monkey
ride on them. The monkey holds on
with grip akin to that of the cholera
ON darky, and in time the dogs back
becomes lacerated by scratches. When
those Jersey sandfiies begin to burrow
in the raw sores the suffering of the
poor dog is terrible. Two wounded
dogs were taken out, and if their cases
prove serious arrests will be made"
mo; do not think there is much
cruelty to the monkeys and other ami
mails in the city museums and side
shows. We have Investigated the
Bowery museums very thoroughly, and
l think the very thought of the prob
able presence of an officer at any time
has the desired effect. l made an ex-
animation of that three-hOrned OK and
am not thoroughly satisfied whether
there is cruelty in that case or not.
Yes; ] mean that l have some doubts
that the third horn grew there, yet, to
the casual observer it looks perfectly
natural. No, they will not submit the
OK to a minute examination. Yet dc
not say that it is not natural. ~. T.

An old gentleman who lives in this
county, near McCormack's Church,
taught two of our best young men a
lesson the other night which they will
be likely to remember. They had gone
out to call on two young ladies at his
house and remained quite late. At H.
20 the old gentleman awoke. and. think
ing it was nearly O'Clock, his usual
hour of getting up. installing the min
ute for the hour hand, he arose, and
waking up the servants, breakfast was
on the table at 1920. instead of the us
ual hour. 4:30 a. IN. The young men
were called out of the parlor to break
fast AT that solemn hour and felt con-
siderably humiliated when the old gen
tleman told them that boys, in his
Younger days. used TO go to bed before
4 O'Clock next morning when they went
on courting expedition. Finding out
his mistake in the hour he apOlOgiZed
in a becoming manner, and the Young
men returned to town determined on

Life in Uruguay.

Uruguay has delightful climate,
temperate and pleasant. The mercury
does not rise above eighty-tve degrees.
The climate is salubrious and the peo-
pie are subject to no disease in particu-
lar. There are thirty-four Americans
in Uruguay. The natives are remarka-
BILE for their refinement and intelligence.
They have a large number of good
SCHOOLS and colleges. The revenue of
the country is S4,OO0,O00. Their ex-
ports amount to S1,200.000 and their
imports to 100000. Twenty steamers
a day enter and depart from the port at
Montevideo. The people are engaged
largely in manufacturing and cattle
herding. Half million dollars worth
of cattle are killed each year for the
hides. 1t is strange thing. but the
people there will not use mare in any
way. The street railway company pUt
them before the ears and the people re-
fused to ride in the cars. Fine animals
of this kind, which would sell here for
$50. are sold there for s. and killed
for their hides. The natives are enter
priSing and progressive. Ten years
ago they imported all of their wheat;
to-day they export 40O,OO bushels pf
their own production. Uruguay is a
beautiful, blooming country, and its
scenery is a source of perpetual delight
to a traveller within its bounds. l at

Too Smart.

A young married man of this city,

freshly-opened box of face powder on
his wife toilet table. ITO this COM
ple>ion have we come at last" he said,
and flung. it ont of the open window.

gentleman who was going to church in
his Sunday best, and enveloped him
from head to foot like a spring snow
storm.
Come down and be murdered" he
yelled up to the man in the window,
shaking his fist and describing a war
dance.
"Come up and I'll fight you"
shrieked the powder magazine above.
The wife appeared as paciticator;
armed with a whisk-broOm she de-
scended to the sidewalk. and her hus-
band had the satisfaction of eing her
carefully dust off the strange man,
while she made soothing apologies in
invisible nes.
And the husband has concluded not
to interfe with his wifes toilet rela-
tions in the future.

Last Snake Story of the Year.

A strange story comes to us from
one of the counties down below here,
and if it were not for the fact that fact
is more strange than fiction. we should
feel hesitancy about relating it. The
story is this: A gentleman having been
at work in a field some distance from
home had carried his dinner with him.
When noon came he took his basket
and went in piece of woods near by,
and close to a creek. TO eat his dinner.
After finishing the meal he sat down
on log to rest awhile before reSuming
his work. While thus engaged. hap
pening to glance at an old decayed
stump just before him. he saw, snakes
head protruding from hole. lie i'm
mediately seized a long pole and went
up by the side of the stump waiting to
see il the snake, which had gone back,
would reappear. In a short time the
snake. not seeing him. crawled out.
and as he did so the gentleman killed
him witha well-directed blow. seeing
then. 10 his horror, that ii was that
most dreaded reptile, the rattlesnake.
To nis astonishment another came out
and was also slain. and another, and
another, until 81 had been counted.
While still watching the hole he oh
served that the last snake had only
been wounded and had crawled off,
and was, apparently. writhing in the
agonies of death some distance off on
sandbar caused by the overflow of the
creek. He Immediately left his post
and advanced toward the hideous
reptile TO dispatch him. When he
reached the spot the snake was appar-
emily dead. Looking down on the
smooth sand near by he saw. to his
utter .amazement, the words mo
more traced thereon in plain, distinct
characters. He looked at the snake
and he looked at the words. He saw
that capital n should have been used
in commencing sentence, and he
made the correction, then, seized with
sudden superstitious fear, he hasten
ed home and told his strange story.
We give it TO the public for what it is
worth. After all, the snake may have
lied; perhaps there was more.-COlnn-

because they cannot buy the goods.
We trust the publication of prices will
continue through the whole list, as we
have no money to advertise goods not
in stock. Such desperate efforts will
not deceive any. The people know
that we have never cursed the place as
