Lost IN 4 House.

Report ofan amuslng,t y incident tn It
occurred recently ut Birch Cooley
in which a Morris citizens was the
principal figure just reaches our ears.
The story goes thnsly:
On a certain evening this Morris
citizen. under the garb of travel
ling gentleman (Which, in reality, he
was) reached certain reside. ce in
the locality mentioned atabout nj gh,-
fall, and not being DESTROYS Of pur-
suing his journey further OH that day,
he asked for lodging.
The host was Il very agreeable and
obliging gentleman, and. unwilling to
deny fellow man the shelter OF his
roof offered the N. {. the best accom-
modations he had which offer was
readily accepted. The host and wife
composed the family Of the house,
and with two gentlemen guests. were
its only occupants. AS the accommo-
dations were limited, there being but
two beds in the house, it was neces-
sary that the three guesta should &C.
cupy one of them, and when time to
retire had arrived it. became the lot
OF the II. C. to take the middle of talat
one. At about the hour of night
wnen sleep sways its power over all,
the Norris citizen went out of doors
and on returning, owing TO the i'm
penetrable darkness of the house anil
the ccntIguity OF the doors of the
two bed rooms, he went into the wrong
one and, as he supposed, took his for
mer position in bed. But, horrors!
he soon discovered his mistake, and
in less time than it takes to tell i; he
w:,S out OF the room, and when the
husband, now awake led, hal procur-
ed light and was about the house
investigating the NJ. G. was sound
asleep between his two companions.
They, Of conise. were awake ana
with She wife were expelled from the
, i.oase by the supposed injured and
desperately wr!thy husband. Not
, until +. full AM satisfactory explana
ton was made by the remaining guest
would the husband be reconciled and
allow his wife, an innocent victim to
the affair, to rsturn to her home. How
ever wien M. c. departed next day
his worthy host was satisfied and hap
py, and all WAS quiet at Birch Cooley.

Congressman Gay is expected home
soon, and then we presume Third
District politics will commence to To-
ment. He will receive Il re-nomina-
ton from the Democracy, but the
purse strings will have to be relaxed
to insure his election. The idea that
the campaign can be run much less
than the last one is bad reckoning.
Shekels, Mr.. Gay, or no electlon.-St.
Mary Review, Aug. 14th.
Certainly it is bad state of affairs
when things political reach this june
ture; when the will of majorities is
thwarted and convictions of indivi-
duals are subserved to the infinite
power of money. In this, however,
the people are not to blame. Up to
the present they have honestly sought
to entrust the defense of their inter-
ests to good men, patriotic and I'M
selfish in their views, and it is pos
sible that success crowned their
efforts on several occasions. We be-
lieve like our above confrere, that the
disgust for politics being so wide
spread among many voters, 1t will Re
quire no little coaxing with some and
bribery with others to bring them out.
Especially that the material benefits
W Tic COuutIy hdsC uot3 We NdiC say,
realized reasonable anticipations. AS
to what Mr.. Gay has done for us in
Congress, we are not disposed to dis
cuss, bnt his reelection is considerab-
ly a matter of doubt, unless he is dis
posed to actually buy his way in.
Many will not accept a concentrated
campaign fund and rest easy under
the impression that it can be scatter
ed by the exercise OF little diplo-
matte unwillingness and many others
will prefer drawing out altogether.

Before Sam Jones, the Rev. Il. De-
Witt Talmage had made slang from the
pulpit measurably popular, in some
sections. The rather reckless Georgian,
however, has captivated vast multi
tudes through the instrumentality of
his careless wit, his air of tlippancy,
his coarse humor as much perhaps as
by the innate strength of an exception
ally powerful individuality.
Unhapp;ly, weaker men have looked
upon the career of the revivalist with
discriminating gaze, which took no ac-
count OF the more subtle and less ap-
parent influences, the occult powers of
a rare originality, and saw in his sue
cess only the result of those meretri-
cious qualities of the jester and mOunte
bank.
Envying his success, or perhaps lead
to hope for an increase of usefulness
for their own endeavors, thousands of
such men have essayed to fashion their
puny efforts after those characteristics
of Sam Jones which constitute his
weakness.
The result has been a shocking
amount of deterioration in the standard
of pulpit eloquence all over the land.
