TIM gallant armySf the stay-at-homes
are going to have a reunion during the
coming Ohio campaign, the platform of
the Ohio Republicans being the ground
selected for their tents. There will be
Mr.. Blaine, Mr. Halstead, Senator Sher-
man and Charley Foster, all OF whom will
talk about the war to which they didn't
go when Drawer men did. II will be a
very edilying spectacle to have these men
recount the dangers from which they
escaped by remaining safely at home, and
the rank OF the stay-at-home Bourbon
Republicans. will doubtless cheer their
efforts. 1t would be just ike the people
Of the Buckeye state to remember,
though, that il wasn't the stay-at- homes
who saved the nation, aud to tell the
grizzled veterans who didn't go to war.

TIM Maryland Judge who ordered a
wife-beater to pay a fine and be impris-

an interview with the lash, certainly
showed that he know how to deal with
this class of criminals The whipping
post as a punishment for wife beating was
only adopted in Maryland three years ago,
and has not thus lar been generally
adopted. If it shall become more popu-
lar, other localities, where the adoption of
such Il law has been urged for years, may
be encouraged to join a movement which
promises to do more than any other to
protect women from brutal husbands.

the comedian. He had a linen duster
on that was u mile too big for him and he
was full What l mean by that is, he
was drunk. and awfully drunk. too. Two
OF h 5 companions were trying to get him
along. when they met a third party. who
invited them in to drink. The lat fellow
WASH I able TO stand alone. they didn't
want to let him fall and he wouldn't sit
down on the curbstone until they came
out, so they deliberately pulled him over
to a lam post and buttoned him around
il by his buster, while they went into the
saloon. II was the funniest sight l ever
saw. 1t was moonlight The fat fellow
had lost his cap and the moon glistened
and shone on his bald head like dew on

The tavern tnes found him all o. X. as

A VIEW of prayer, evidently peculiar to
Kansas, has been brought before the su-
preme court of that state, The jury in n
civil case, having retired to deliberate,
opened the proceedings with prayer. They
subsequently agreed upon a verdict, which
the counsel for the defeated party seeks
to have set aside on the ground Of undue
influence. 1t is but just to say that the
lawyer does not object to the private petit
tons OF individual iurymon, but only to
the subtle influence of a public prayer
by one of their number. la other words,
it is suggested that the devout juryman's
prayer was not addressed to the throne of
grace so much as TO his comrades on the
jury, a suspicion to which the prayers
even of some Clergyman have been
subject before now

In view Of an Anglo Russian war,
Amer Atdurrahman, Of A%fghanistan,
has given an order to a Cabul ieweler
for fifteen golden inkstands, which are
to be presented to as many Afghan gen.
erals. The cost OF the inkstands amounts
to q, 0O0 rupees. According 10 AN old
Afghan custom, the ameer presents to
every general going to war n sword and
an inkstand attached to the same belt.
Thus equipped, the Afghan generals
have no Ncuse II they fail TO report to
their master the progress OF the war.
Along with a sword and an inkstand the
Afghan generals also wear on their belts
charms, which are believed to have tho
power to save their bearers from bullets
and even swords.

slaughtered reindeer. OF this also they
arc very fond Whenever a reindeer IS
killed and the meat has been stripped
from the bones of the legs these bones
are placed on the floor OF the igloo and
cracked with a Ratchet until the marrow
