They tell story Of white minis
ter in Boydtown, Va, which proves
the value of close attention to matters
of detail: A colored man told the min
lister that he wanted him to marry his
girl and himself, and ''if he did it
after the manner of white weddings"
he would give him four dollars; but
if not, he would give him one dollar.
The minister went through with the
ceremony in his best style, but the
groom handed him one dollar. why,
you promised me four!'' but yer
didn't do it after de white style, sah!"
Certainly [ did, why not?" "Ye
nevah kissed de bride, sahr' Thus
by slight oversight the poor minis
ter lost three dollars.

What is sauce for the goose is not,
always, sauce for the gander. The
simple declaration Of the proposition
is easy enough, bat it sometimes fails
Of working out. my friend" said
one Cincinnati politician to another,
'we're beaten, as the case stands.
But there's hope for us yet. You re-
member the Republicans beat us once
on figures, the number standing eight
to seven. Now we have charge of
the election machinery, and here are
Democratic votes represented by a
seven, as before. That has proven an
unlucky number for US. Why can't
we have the eight this time? Why
can't we, thus, go one better, and
make the seven a nine?" And he
suited the action to the word, and the
seven loomed up like seed-onion,
being surmounted by an awkward cir
Gle. This tender plant was packed in
genuine moss from the decayed ruins
Of Democracy, and shipped to Colum-
bus. But the frosts along the way
were too much for it. It was nipped
fore and aft, and when the plant was
exposed to the warm and genial air of
the House, the top Immediately fell,
the plant dropped, and the whole
thing was thrown out as worthless
rubbish. Such is the story Of the
Democratic attempt to beat the Re
publicans on "fggers."

A report comes in the morning
papers, that light has been discov-
cred in the Nanticoke Mine, where the
miners were imprisoned in Pennsyl-
vania, some time ago, creating the inn
preston that some of them are still
alive and subsisting upon mule meat
An additional force of men were set
to work making a way to the spot
where the light was seen, and it is
thought possible that some may be
rescued yet.

The U. S. Senate has demanded of
President Cleveland his reasons for
removing Republican officials, and the
President has thus far refused to fur
nish or assign any reasons. The re-
suit may be sudden working-up OF
the President by refusal to confirm
his appointees. 1t would perhaps be
unfortunate to have an open conflict
between the President and the Senate
but the President would find it SER
ious stumbling-block, were Republi-
can Senate to take a firm stand
against him. Mr. Cleyeland will per-
haps modify his views slightly with
regard to his own Importance.
Charles Bradlaugh-who lectured
in this country in 1873-was three
times returned to the British Parlia-
ment from Northampton, but being
an atheist, refused to take the pre-
scribed oath taken by Members of
Parliament, and was not permitted to
occupy the seat to which he was
elected. Recently upon his third
election, he was sworn in, and now
occupies his seat. Just what good
the great man has accomplished by
twice kicking himself out of Parlia-
ment, is hard to conceive, at this dis
tance.
