Gu, OF claw hammered coat. But why could
he not have attended in another coat and
If he couldn't go without having on a round
about with tail to it, he could have bought
such coat. The probability is, the coai
stories are not true. About the last thing
that would keep Secretary Garland from
attending wedding of friend would be a
coat.

Gillmors's famous regimental band played
on thestreets ofNew York on ndecoration day.
As the band approached the platform where
President Cleveland was reviewing the grand
parade they played sHc's going to marry,
Yum-yum, Yum-yum !" The peculiar appro-
priateness OF the STRAIN was recognized far
and wide by the crowd and acknowled ged
with cheer. Presumably Mr.. Cleveland
was the victim of varying emotions at the
time, but he bore it bravely, aud probably
took no offence at this amusing expr ession
of good will.
A Yankee fishing smack, with q lot of an
CRY Yankee fishermen well armed and a
British man-ot-war are sailing around in tho
mackeral waters. It's the old common sto-
ry of two angry men, each with chip on
his hat walking around waiting on the 9TH
er to begin fight by pass at a chip. 1t is
hoped that both have sense enough to be
able TO take good steady look at the re-
spective chips without taking dash at them.
If war would take place and the United
States would take Canada, which she would
do, where would the thieving bank cashiers
that have fled to Canada, go to!

entirely successful. So far over $4,000

Congressman Atkinson, OF this place, re-
ported, on the 9th inst, a very important
bill Oh patents from the Committee on Pat
ents, amending section 1889 Revised Stat
utes, House Calender. The change pro-
sevent cen years if his application for a pa
tent is filed in this country before a patent
is granted him in foreign country. The
present law provides that if an invention Is
first patented in a foreign country an Amer
lean patent subsequently issued for the same
invention shall expire with the foreign pat
ent.
The insane man who occupies a room in
the Jail fronting on Bridge street, passes
unpleasant remarks about people who pass
the prison. If he could be placed in q back
room it would be relief to people who live
in the vicinity. To be sure there are men
in the community who are not accounted
crazy, who give utterance, frequently, to
expressions as unpleasant and as obscene
about their neigh5ors, but they don't do 1t
where every one can hear them, they are
more select as to the company in which
they speak foul utterances. Ii is among
kindred spirits that they utter uncommon
remarks. The crazy man speaks when the
impulse seizes him to speak.
After a line had been run along third
street TO square line along the north end
of the Presbyterian church foundation the
discovery was made that the proposed
foundation wall at the southeast corner Of
the building on Third street projected cen-
siderable distance into the pavement. The
town council was Informed of the failure OF
the buildings along the street TO line with
each other, and they were requested to fix
the corner, which they did. The change in
the corner required additional excavatio
on the west side of the foundation SO that
the building may be built further into the
lot. A number OF feet of the west wall al
the north west side had been built.
A difference Of opinion. She went into a
furniture store with her husband, faint
hearted lite man who carried second fiddle
under his arm. She dragged this salesman
all over the ground floor, and leaving her
husband down stairs, she took the clerk to
the second floor to look at some willo"
chairs. The poor clerk, tired and weary
finally made some answer that kindled her
wrath. "Do you know who | am u she
asked. "No, madame, l do not" he re-
piled politely. "Well, sir, I'd have you Sno"
