The primary election in the eighth
congressional district last Saturday
was closely contested, and at first
there appeared to he some doubt as to
who would be the nominee. Later

that his nomination is a compliment
to one of its brightest and worthiest
members, and All honor which he has
won by earnest, nara WORK Tor the

He will honor the people who thus
show their confidence in him by max

Tennessee has in congress. Col. lay

two terms acceptably, and not spot
or blemish can be found in his record
He was defeated not because the peo'

believed Mr.. Enloe was entitled to the

you have made lists Of appointments

done to be thus ignored? You have
given Trenton four or FIVE appoint,

Several physicians have pronounce
ed my disease blood poison, caused by
paint or lead in the paint, but they
could not cure me. Last summer |
used eighteen bottles of largely ad
vertised blood medicine, which did
me no more good than so much water.

have received greater benefit from

Gen. Broaddus, editor of the Erin
News, thus delicately reports little af.
fair in which it seems he was personally
interested:
We would subject the News to just
criticism of being partial if we failed
to state that on last Saturday quite a
sensation was created in Erin by lit
tie alteration between an humble ed
itor and a prominent lawyer. 1t
occurred in a private upstairs room
in the presence of only one witness.
The aforesaid prominent lawyer said
In substance to the editor. "You
prevaricated the truth in an article in
your paper" The editor then said
something that sounded like "YOu are
a lawyer" whereupOn the prominent
lawyer swoOped down on the humble
editor like hawk would on a chichen.
Result: Editors face scratched,
lawyers eye BACKED, fine paid by
each, agreed to make friends and per-
NIT the editor to edit and the lawyer
to practice. The drama ended and
the curtain dropped.

No one who has not gone through the
experience has any idea of the danger
Gus class of men mates have to handle.
The police court records give some idea
of the character of the men, and out of
the batch of Migrants and dangerous
men turned loose daily and given a few
hours to leave the town, a large ma
Jority ship ON some outgoing boat as
deckers. These ruffians have no particu-
lar place of abode, care little how they
live, and apparently less for their lives.
A mate who has many of these under
him simply carries his life in his hands.
Once in conflict, it must be ended
promptly, and the slightest hesitation
would probably cost you your life, while
the chance of your murderer's capture
would be very remote.-Steamboat Mate

The Value of Clean Linen.

Fox himself was not so particular as
regarded his personal appearance as
were many of his Quaker followers. He
was careful to be always neat and that
his linen was spotless, and there, SO far
as he was concerned, the matter ended.
Once, shortly after the commencement
of his self-imposed mission, his fondness
for clean linen did him good service.
Being arrested at Darlington, ostensibly
as a vagrant, but in reality because he
was suspected of being Royalist spy,
he shook out all the linen in the bundle
he carried to satisfy the magistrate that
he had no letters or papers. Convinced
as to this, the justice ordered him to be
set at liberty, remarking that no va
grant would have such clean linen.-

THE WIT OF CHILDREN.
How They Contribute to the Literature
of the Day-The Enfante Terrible.

How They Contribute to the Literature
of the Day-The Enfante Terrible.
Unwittingly, children are largely con-
tributing to the literature of the day.
Their original sayings and the thor
oughly fresh views they take of life and
our hackneyed manners afford the
newspapers and other ephermal publica-
tons a special fund of humor. The
wisdom of their drolleries, the quaint
ness of their observations, can scarcely
be improved upon by that made to or
der wit which sometimes has to do duty
for the baby's. Babes and stockings are
natural logicians, just as they are hui
man parrots, and the combination rem
ders them more entertaining than Ra-
balais or Aristophanes in others most
enfante terrible mood. The truth the
child speaks, his instructive or inherited
snfulness make him an imp, but an imp
we delight to meet-on paper.
The mother of an exceptionally
naughty family of children once said her
life would have been uncomfortable hadn't
these youngsters been so bright, and
constantly saying things which took the
sting out of their old Adam pranks.
During their growing, one of this gentle
and sorely tried parents means of keep
ing her sanity was to write down in
book every funny, piquant thing they
did and said. And most amusing read
ing it was in after years, when the chill
dren had sown all their wild oats at
home. Could this "nursericana" be
turned over to Harper, or to the editor
of some funny" column it would prove
q mine of jokes for year to come.
Every family, even the fashionable
American family" has its small joker,
its pet clown, its enfante terrible, who
says smart things and who luckily out
grows the propensity at an early stage
of its career, or American humor would
be drug in the market.
But few children who start out mar
wells of precocity amount to a great deal
later. Nature is like a candle that flames
up at lighting and burns dimly down
after the first ignition. Child wit, es-
pecially, rarely develops into mature
w.t. though there are signal instances
where the bump of the ludicrous' has
kept up with age, and the queer child"
has turned out wag who sees the
world always upside down. 1t is graft
flying to learn that w. S. Gilbert was
Excessively droll," even in the cradle,
for it proves that man may be born
witty and also achieve wit when the
proper time comes for him to shine. If
the children knew how much capital
was being made out of their whimsicali-
ties, they would be wanting S1.O0 line
for the same; therefore, don't tell them!
Let them go on in beautiful unconscious
ness, for when childhood becomes con-
scious, it ceases to be beautiful. Boston

To Ward on Dogs.

The advice of the Brussels veterinary
professors as to how people should ward
off attacks from dogs is rather difficult
to follow. The dog is supposed to snap
at the uncovered part of the body.
Therefore, hide the hands and take care
of the face" is the sapient warning. Put
your hands in your pockets and you can
not protect your face. That is the di-
lemma, and good many people will be
bitten before it is settled. Brooklyn

PITY is akin to love-" the say
But if thou can'st not love pray
That thou wilt do what else thou may,
But pity not. For pity seems
As far below my golden dreams
OF love as the worlds success
To that we hoped once to possess.
And so the truth / would be told
That may keep my dream of gold
Pure and unspotted in my heart,
And let it from me never part,
Lest in the world it rudely fall
And l would lose my love, my all.
