The proper thing for Congress TO do now
is TO pass bill for the removal Of all dis
abilities incurred under the fourteenth
amendment. There is no reason for the
continuance of any such disabilities, now
that the country is again united in senti-
ment as well as politically. There should
be no necessity for the passage Of any
special bills for relief in particular cases.

From the Detroit Free Press.
Three or four days ago a man arrived in
Detroit from farm in Ohio in search of his

piled to the police for assistance, and detec-
tive was detailed to help him to hunt up the
woman. They were gong down Michigan

her as she clung TO the arm of her abandoned
husbands hired man.

band, as he barred their path.
"Sir! did you address me?" demanded the
woman as she drew herself up.
"Speakin' to me, strangerY" aided the hired
mar, with face as smooth as flat-iron.
Of course Pm talking to you-both of yOu"'
shouted the husband maria, what did you
go and run away for?"
''Sir, your language is outrageous" snapped
the woman. MARIA! Who and where is your

lican party of This city 10 reform and
control the administration of public
affairs. For years men, rather than
party have been looked 10, but firing
of the many abuses the people almost
without regard 10 party, have been
for the past year urging upon the Re-
publican party the possibility. As
a first step inanswer TO sucira demand

called ami ticket has now been NOM
mated While we will not claim that
it is the best that could have been
named, it is good, strong. honest
ticketwliicli tie more il is studied the
better il will he liked. As TO the
ability and superior fitness of the man
nominated for mayor nothing need be
urged. These will he recognized at
once. He was not only not candi-
date but the honor came all unsought
and unexpected. As mayor of Wichi-
tad {. Rutan would at all times and
before any body of men prove an
honor and credit. OF fine adj
dress, an easy and ready speaker, self
contained, dignified and an experienced
business man, there is no reason why
he would not fill the position not only
TO the satisfaction of all, but in Il very
beneficial manner for the many in
terests of the city.
The ticket cannot be gone over in
detail tonight, but will be as the days

Gratis can make up their minds that

How did Paganini playl Now like en-

closed door. He played like the very Devil
himself-never like q mortal man Such
sounds assuredIy have never vet been
drawn from violin. The only thing that
sounded liked them was pulling cat by the
bind leg from under an ash barrel In
fact, they were no real violin sounds; they
sounded like the rearing of the storm, Ike
tie sursing of the sea, ike a chronic snorer
with his nose congeSted, like a brakeman on
the Elevated railroad with cold in his
head, ike TIE ringing OF the trombone, like
the thuni.er of fat man with a deep voice,
whose suspender button few of, ike the
chimes Of dinner bell, or the sound OF
bird, like the anguish and despair Of man,
like moaning, and singing, and whining and
weeping.
And when the G string walled, then tears
came through the eyes from the listening
hearts of men. tears Of sadness and delight,
real salt and water tears as big IS Texas

ten up to deceive the public.
His performance had the effect Of flashes
OF ligilinia, in dark night He was as full
Of electricity as a black cat that is rubbed
the wrong way on the fur While he
played, a nervous tremor went through his
whole frame. shaking, thin, and spec:er-
like as it was, and from his gloomy eyes
there flashed deep-seated, raging fire, such
as is sometimes seen in the eyes OF an editor
on whom barkeeper showed of bad
quarter. With the last stroke OF the bow
the player sank completely exhau tel upon
his chair, and whispered feebly: send for
a sour toddy.'
His technique was the purest chromatic

even in humorous bizsrreries, excited the
establishment of people who were engaged in
the manufacture Of bizarreries, and knew
all about then. His broken accords across
all the four strings, from the lowest depths

running a stick across q picket fence. His
rapid octave playing upon the q string.
his siivery chime of bells, his fortissimo,

This place had a visitation of the
| lightning rod fiend in the early part
of the month of q somewha; malignant
type. There wa. former WISH alton
about last May, which, though less
malignant. was but the forerunner of
the latter one. At that time the

on certain building in Saratoga,
which lad been bought few months
previous by Mrs. G., but in the mean
time Mr.. c. had been taken sick aud
become insane, and after three unsuc-
cessful attempts at suicide had been
sent to the asy lum, a guardian having
been appointed to look after his af-
fairs Just ae this time; when Mrs. e.
was worse than widowed, completely
Frustrated in mind and body by anxi-
ETY. and weary watching, in reality not
accountable for her acts, this fellow
with the lightning spears called on
the poor woman and using the
Establishments of his illustrious an
cestor in fair Eden with the modern
improvements, induced her to sign the
order for a hollow copper rod on the
building, but on learning that she had
DO right to order such rod, she came
to the agent and informed him of the
fact and requested him not 10 put up
the rod. The tenant occupying the
building said he was afraid of the
thing and would not remain in the
house if it was put up. The agent,
however, paid no attention to them,
but went on with his work-def, ing
mankind as well as the Almighty.
Before the work was completed,
however, her attorney appeared on
the scene, and with remarks more
forcible than elegant, proceeded in an
expeditions and efectual manner TO
pull the thing down. The agent after
talking around and hating himself for
a while, departed in search of other
victims aud the matter dropped out of
memory.
Mrs. c., left with scanty means,
struggled on rs best she might, doing
mental service at a beggarly pittance;
saving and economizing in every way,
managed TO keep her little family of
loved ones together and bring them
through the severe winter in compar-
alive comfort, when on the 9th OF
March she was ruaely shocked by the
appearance of the constable with a
summons 20 appear before Squire
