now, set 'em mp to maple sugar and let
us be friendly and fight Bourbon-Reform-
Democracy mixed with smugglcd whiskey
under the guize Of local option.
suppose We are TO have an cleo tion on
the question Of local option as passed by
the Virginia Democratic Legislature or in
other words, on tho question rs TO wheth-
er men are 10 pay a license TO sell Vhi'key

has controlled the majority 81 the votes oi
his section for ~ years, and although he
is bitterly opposed TO this abominable
measure nndor the guize of temperance
he has not the manhood 70 speak ont on
it beoause it was passed by the best
people. We are in favor of prohibition,
local option or Temperance IN any form II
it Will answer the purpose ard We are
aware that great many Of our best l..
ard women are in favor Of this bill As
passed by that Legislature, bnt unless
these people exclude from their organiza-
tior men who would have all the whiskey
and brandy in the comfy pass through
their stomachs If IT did not cost money,
and others who sell whiskey behind a
curtain with no license, drink the profit
themselves and then stand on tiptoc and
shout local option, they can never De sue
cessful In conclusion We can only say
that the vhiskcy question IS dcep qne'-
ton. at last too deep for a Legislature Of
such Democrats as assembled at Rich

uust not offer premium on rascality.

Nothing pays better than raising good
stock. 1t costs no more to raise fine colt
or calf than it does to raise sorry scrub,
while the difference in value when you

As an evidence Of this we are Informed

PrRPIRXING QUEsTION.-A much per
picked young man writes TO inquire
whether it is etiquette to leave lady at
the gate or should she be escorted to the
front door That depends upon the old
eentleman's disposition, the keenness OF
his eye sight, and the young mans rela-
lions with the dog. We have known cir
cumstances in which it was prudent to
leave the lady at the next corner, but this
is a question ofprudence rather than ETH
quette This perplexed young man must
use his own judgment. We should not
like to have him hurt bis cause by leaving
the lady at the gate, and it would grievs
us TO learn that having followed our ad-
vice and gone in, the family watchdog
had made him eligible for a course Of treat
ment under Pasteur.

travels Cornet Band appeared on the
balcony in front Of Twins Opera House,
and played a number Of beautiful airs in
superb style. This old aud favorite or
ranization was never in better trim than
now. At the same time the Woodstock
Cornet Band were stationed on the long
porch in front Of Geary's Hotel where
they performed a number of pieces in a
most creditable manner. Although but
six months old this band has improved in
a most remarkable manner. The colored
brass band did not appear on the streets
but played in their hall. This, too, is a
good band and deserves great credit.

You often hear of some man finding
some of Capt. Kids buried Golfers, but
client of mine unearthed a treasure
the other day which beats even that.
says a writer in the american Bar.
He is q householder in oath street, and
goes every year TO Kentucky to attend
the thoroughbred sales. Last year he
heard of m old Kentucky plantation
that was 10 be sold and he bought it for
almost nothing.
The only buildings on the place were
a tumble-down house and barn, which
he intended to repair as the nucleus of
stock farm. His brother-in-law went
down from New York not long AGO.
and set to work to strengthen the found
ations of the house. and on digging
around in the cellar what do you think
he found? Why, a large case or rcser-
voir filled with thirty-one barrels of
whisky. All of them were properly
stamped and bore the date of 1861. 1t
turned out that an old bachelor had
lived in the house during the early years
of the civil war. Kentucky was being
constantly raided by one side or the
other, and about 1868 the old gentleman
turned his ready money into whisky
and then hid it carefully under ground.
Not long after he was shot before his
own house by one of Morgan's raiders
and nobody ever knew the secret of the
buried liquor. S'''ss
The property passed into the hands
Of relatives and was sold finally, as |
told you, for a pittance. Nothing could
have been wiser than the old Kentuck-
ian's investment. Thirty-one barrels
of pure Kentucky rye standing twenty
four years in the wood are worth more
now than would like to say. They
certainly can't be duplicated anywhere
in the world.

Baby Tigers.

In Forepaugh's menagerie there are
six as 1.-THE and brightly marked tigers
as anybody ever saw. One morning, at
| daylight. the keepers were surprised by
an unusual commotion among the cat
| animals. The men got out strong ropes,
lassoes, and nets, believing that some of
| the more formidable of the wild beasts
were out of their dens.
They approached the wide stairs with
caution and entered the room. The
| tiger den was Il scene of fierce confusion,
and the other animals shared the excite
ment. The men advanced to the front
| of the den, and were met with demon
STATIONS of anger. Lying close to the
wall in one corner was Il huge Bengal
tiger, and at her side pair of beautiful
| Unmarked cubs, with eyes closed like
young kittens. With cries Of wonder
the men gazed at the treasures which
had been born during the night. Still
| they could not understand why all the
| wild beasts should seem so restless One
of the keepers. following the eye of
large panther, shouted:
Boys, look. One has got out and is
| on the fioori" One cub had crept
| through the bars of the cage and tum-
bled out and wandered around until it
had tired out and gone to sleep. When
one of the men carefully picked it up it
uttered a feeble cry. The scene that
followed made those, men, used to dan
ger as they are, white with fear. The
tigers bent the bars of their cages, and
the lions roared in unison with the
shrieks of the other animals 1t was
little pandemonium.
To attempt to put the cub through
the bars into the cage from which it had
fallen was certain death to whoever
undertook it, for with their long forearm
and their curved claws the tigers would
have torn to shreds whatever had been
in reach. Finally one of the cooler
headed keepers took the little, speckled,
sightless beast, and, climbing up the
end of the den, opened q small hole left
or ventilation, and dropped the cause
of all the trouble at the feet of its mother.
She tenderly placed it beside the other
ofsprings, lay down herself, and in two
minutes the cunning-looking kitten was
taking It's nourishmcnt, and everything
soon quoted down PHILADELPHIA
Times.
