Republican Baseness.

Hon. Mr.. Wolfe, late Republican
candidate for Governor of Pennsyl-
vania, but now Prohibitionist. has
the following to say regarding his for
mer Republican associates:
"When look upon the clean faces
of this intelligene meeting, and CON-
pare them with the faces of the men
| saw three years ago, when I was in
vited by the Union Republican Club
to its rooms in this city, 1 cannot help
feeling overjoyed. Upon entering the
club room 1 found, to my astonish-
ment, bar where drinks were given
away. That, however, was not the
worst thing saw. At piano in one
portion of the room politician was
seated playing an accompaniment,
while another politician, man well
known to you all, by reputation al
least, sang one Of the most lewd songs
that ever fell from the lips of man,
and one which would disgrace the
lowest house of prostitution in the city
of Philadelphia"

A Dog that Could Count.

Old Fetch was shepherd dog and
lived in the Highlands Of the Hudson.
His master kept nearly dozen cows,
and they ranged at win among the hills
during the day. When the sun was
low in the west. his master would say TO
the dog, Bring the COWS home;" and
it was because the dog did this task so
well, that he was called Fetch.
One sultry day he departed as usual
upon his evening task. From scattered,
shady, and grassy hooks, he at last
gathered all the cattle into the noun
tain road leading to the distant barn
yard.
A part of the road ran through low,
moist spot bordered by thicket of
black alder, and into this one of the
cows pushed her way, and stood quietly.
The others passed on, followed some
distance in the rear BY Fetch.
As the COWS approached the barn
yard gate, he quickened his pace and
hurried forward, as if to say, 'I'm here,
attending to business. But his COM
placency was disturbed as the COWS
filed through the gate. He whined a
little, and growled little, attracting
his masters attention. Then he went
to the high fence surrounding the yard.
and standing on his hind feet peered
between two of the rails After looking
at the herd carefully for time. he
started off down the road again on a
full run. His master now observed that
one of the cows was missing, and he sat
down on a rock to see what Fetch was
going to do about it. Before very long
he heard the furious tinkling of bell,
and soon Fetch appeared bringing in
the perverse cow at rapid pace, hast
ening her on by frequently leaping up
and catching her ear in his teeth. The
gate was again thrown open, and the
cow, shaking her head from the pain of
the dogs rough reminders, was led
through it in way that she did not
soon forget. Fetch then lay down quiet
ly to cool off in time for supper.-E. p
Roe in ST. Nicholas.

AReputation wen Earned.

The Bee, during its existence, has had
dealings with q large number of adver-
tising agents, from whom it has receiv-
ed vast amount of business. 1t has
still q great many such friends, who,
recognizing its value as an advertising
medium, are daily sending new busi-
ness. Among this number may be
mentioned the well-known firm of Geo.
P. Rowell & Co., No. 10 Spruce Street,
New York City, whose reputation for
honest dealing is too well-known to
need any mention In these columns.
The Bee, however, desires to say that it
has never yet known more prompt
house in regard to its remittances. So
thoroughly have they systematized
their business, that the moment bill
is received it is checked up, and if
found correct, a check Is at once mailed
to cover same in full. Only three or
four days ever elapse from the time the
Bee renders o bill, until check is re-
ceived in payment.
On Aug. Ia bill was mailed them,
and stamp upon its face indicates being
received by them on the 10th, remit
tance reaching the Bee on Aug. 20.
This is no special case, and it is spoken
of only to givea worthy and deserving
firm proper credit and encouragement
for its wonderful promptness. Toledo

The Chillicothe Leader has a strange
story of the finding of q piece of
slate stone about six inches square, by
MIR. Scott Boggs. Mr.. Boggs, in cleaning
out to greater depth an old spring on
his land, found, several feet below the
surface, the stone, with the inscriptions
in old-fashioned English, "Lost in We
wilderness July ye 20, 1779-T. Will
iams." Above the inscriptions is o
rude scroll, while to the right is the
square and compass of the Masonic fra
ternity. MFR. Boggs is a reliable gen.
tleman and the genuineness of the find
is unquestioned. The theory is that
more than 100 years ago Williams was
member of the little band ofheroes
led by Geo. Clark, in January, 1870, to
take from the English Fort Vincennes,
and was lost in the trackless wilderness.
Efforts will be made to find record OF
his name in Masonry.

A certain editor ola weekly newspa-
per made a practice of stopping the
press to announce" if he had nothing
more important to announce than a
dog fight. One week everything was
as dull as a patent Office report, but the
ruling passion cropped out as follows:
."We stop the press to announce that
nothing has occurred since we went to
press Of sufficient interest to induce us
to stop the press to announce it.u

This womanly weakness has again
shown during the recent visit to Liver
pool. Her Majesty had special orders
given to all the daily newspapers to
furnish supply of copies for her use at

porters, who knew they were writing
for the eyes of royalty.

The man who carries razor for a
weapon is presumtively bloodthirsty
coward. There are cases in which men
are justified in carrying pistols. But
the razor is not weapon of defense.
It is d weapon of aggression. The man
who carries one, except on a strictly
tonsorial errand, deliberately prepares
himself for murderous assault. He
may not have any definite idea who is
to be cut up, but he intends or expects
upon provocation to use it as weapon
Of attact. Ifhe really feared danger
GUS assault upon himself he wonld go
around with cane or pistol instead of
arazor. There's to razor in a fight
betrays a tigerish inhuman ferocity
that shows how little man in some cases
is above the most vicious brute crea-
ton. The instinct that leads to its use
in combat with another man not so
armed Is cowardly. En-.

DIsiNFECTI0N.
A Powerful and Cheap Liquid Recon.
mended by d Practical Physician.

To DIR. Gooltlen, of St, Thomas
hospital, is due the credit of intro
dueing to the public an invaluable
disinfeetant, which is eostless. or
nearly SO, instantaneous in its effect
and perfectly safe. 1t is prepared as
follows: Dissolved in the proper
tion of thirty grains Of nitrate Of
lead TO a quart of water and dissolve
l20 grams Of common salt to three
gallons of water; pour the solutions
together, and let the sediment sub
side, then pour off the clear fluid for
use. The sediment may be poured
down drain, cesspool or closet. The
tiuid is a saturated solution Of chic
ride of lead. Ii Il cloth be dipped in
tins solution and hung up where fetid
gas is in the atmosphere it will alb
sorb it quickly and convert it into
sulphate of lead, perfectly insolu-
Bile and harmless substance. Care
should be taken to observe exactly
the proportions given above, as they
are matters of calculation. If this
substance was used for watering the
streets the offensive odors would
soon disappear. 1t is generally adj
mitted that the cause of the smells
80 palpable in hot weather is on the
surface of the roads. When the
streets are watered, the foulness
thereof which ascends and fills the
air rs the moisture evaporates, could
entirely be neutralized were the plan
suggested carried out 1t deodorizes
sewer, q slaughter house in the hot
weather, cesspool or manure heap !;
1t prevents gold and silver plate, sill
yer lace and frosted silver from tar
nishing, which is as delicate test as
can be applied. 1t may be sprinkled
upon the floor with q watering pot
from time to time; and DR.. Goolden
recommends its use in our picture
exhibition and national galleries, as
it would preserve the pictures and
prevent the blackening effect of
sewar gas, to say nothing of the COM
fort of the spectators, who are more
distressed by the carbonic acid gas
eliminated from crowds in hot wealth
er than by the heat. With this cheap
disinfectant, which costs but trihe

Sharpers Who Got Left

There is sharper's game which
has been played for the last 10(
years, and as the turning point il
avarice the game works forty-nine
times where it fails once. Two sharp.
ers set out few weeks ago to play
it on Wayne County farmer. One
of them came along one day and
wanted to by the fern. AS the far.
mer wanted to sell, it was quite easy
to strike bargain. The price was
to be $4,000 in cash, and the mar
handed over $3.50 to bind the bargain
Within two days a second stranger
came along and wanted the farm
He wanted it so bad he couldn't
stand still. He found indications ot
coal, natural gas and coal oil, ano
he was willing to give $4,000 for the
place. The idea was, Of course, thai
the farmer would be awful sick Of
his first sale and seek to buy the mar
off. 1t would pay him to offer the
man 81, 500 to release him.
The second stranger was only out
of SIGHT when the first one turned uK
agsin. His mouth watered over ths
prospect, but not for long. The far
mer explained that he had been offer.
ed 81 800 more, and added:
"But don't care for money. The
$4,000 is enough for me, and it's al
the old farm is worth. When yor
are ready to pay the balance, well
make out the papers"
The purchaser offered to releas,
him for S1000-S700-S5OO-S3OO
but the farmer didn't want to be re
leased. He hung to the bargain
money, and he's got it yet, while th;
pair of sharpers rave and gnash theil
teeth every time they think of the
thickness of his skull.

John Kelly.

The death of Hon. John Kelly re-
moves one of the great public men
of the age. He was a man of keen
insight and au acknowledged leader
of one of the most influential politi-
cal associations ever known to this
country. AS party organizer he
had few superiors and defeat seemed
only to urge him to redoubled efforts.
Socially Mr.. Kelly had the quail
ties which secure firm friends. He
was well educated and possessed lit
erary abilities very much above those
of the average public man, and those
who knew him best found it impos-
sible to recognize their friend in the
distorted views which the opposition
press gave to the world concerning
him.
Mr.. Kelly has always been accredi
ted with honesty and firmness of pur.
pose and while many of his OWL
party disagreed with him at times
they never questioned the sincerity Of
the political trickster and he had pro,
vocation for many of them. He of.
ten worked against great opposition
in the democratic ranks but he did
it, as he thought, to maintain the
strength of the national party.-Kan
