The stereOtyped campaign roorback,
that certain nominees of the democratic
party have been nominated by fraudu-
lent (rascally republican, votes in Lex
ington, is again on its rounds. This
prejudice against a county seat is not
uncommon. Envy, hatred and malice
are still sufficiently SINS to require that
the petition for protection from them
shall be retained in the litauy. When
this prejudice is famed by an enemy of
the town one can understand it; but
when an avowed friend thus evokes it
suspicion must attach to him, either Of
falsity to his profession or of an Interior
object. The most pronounced of demo-
Gratis, the gentlemen alluded to would
hardly receive republican support. No
poll in the county was SO closely
watched as vas the n at Lexington.
There were more candidates here than
at any three other places in the county.
The judges, men of mcorruptible in
tegrity, were alert and careful. Men
were challenged upon the least sus-
picion that they we're republicans.
The vote vas large, it is true, but 20 it
was all over the county, and the gen.
tlemen from the country received as
good a support here as they could ex-
pect against men who are better
known. But what knocks the wind
clear out of this nonsensical, demagog-
ical bladder, is the fact, that every can
didate elected at The primary was chosen
WITHOUT COUNTING THE LEX
INGTON VOTE AT ALL. From one
end OF the ticket to the Other, beginning
with Mr.. Hicklin and ending with
Judge Filing, every candidate is nomi-
mated without counting the vote in
Lexington. To see this it is only nee
esssry to glance at the returns and OBJ
serve that their majorities are greater
than the majorities they received at this
precinct.

Mrs. McCue heard the report at the house
1t made the windows rattle, and reverberated
among the hills like Fourth Of July salute
The farmers wife ran TO the door and looked
over into the turnip field. There was a thick
cloud OF smoke over by the stone wall, where
she had last seen her husband at work
"Joseph must have killed tho bear" she
said
But there was no bear and no Joseph TO be
seen Mrs. McCue ran down into the field.
She had not gone far before she saw the body
of the bear stretched out among the turnips.
Looking further she saw Farmer McCue also
stretched out among the turnips, as stiff as
the bear Just then Farmer Rose and his
son, neishbors, happened to be driving by.
Mrs NcCue hailed them They carried Mr..
McCue into the house. One side Of his face
was as black as his hat, and swollen three
times its natural size His right shoulder
was disocated, and his arm was black and
blue from the shoulder TO the elbow. 1t was
a good while before he could be- brought to.
Then he opened his left eye, and, looking at
his wife, said, firmly, but feebly:
Mother, thirty enoughr

SHIPS, big enough 10 run a stOyepipe ia

he is, hut willing to own up like a man when
he finds he is wrong, is doing as well Us could

CLAUDE AND POLLEN.

Charles COghlan's account OF the deep
vale shut in by Alpine hills is like Car
lyle's account of the ballet He doesn't
believe i'm the deep vale at all. 1t isn't in
mis- fervid fancy-it's all in his eye
But, by JOve, my boys. that vale exists
in every young brain, just as much OF a
verify to young hopes as the Vale Of Cash
mere is to boarding school miss, or the
vale of tears is to an old maid.
Charles Coghlan either never under
stood or he has Outgrown the understand
ing that Claude and Pollen are the radi-
ant realities Of that condition Of existence
when we hope all things and dare all
things and never ought to be thrummed
TO the silver moon by man who has got
10 the condition where he doubts all
things.
Pauline when greatly done has usually
been made an exposition Of tumultuous
and scornful pride tempered with a most
obsequiOus sycophancy. 1t is just at this
point that Langtry is serenely weak and
new There is not the faintest hint OF the
termagant when the palace by the Lake
of Como turns out TO be room and bed
room without modern cOnveniences.
Mary Anderson used to rise up like the
proyerbial Mr. Riley at this point, and
tho decks were cleared for action. With
something of the diapason of the late
Mr. Forrest and something Of the acridity
of the late and early Deveresux Blake,
she gave Mr.. Melnotte strong indications
of music in the air
When on such occasions Pauline
doubled up her fists, let down her chest
notes, and knocked over all the furniture
with her train as she rampaged round,
there was some excuse for Mr.. Melnotte's
instant desire to return her to her father,
pure as yestermorn,' etc The sugges-
ton Of a divorce was most natural and
polite, merely as a matter Of protection

Mary gave every one 20 understand
that she was superior person. She
hurled the idea at Melnotte especially

II is word for word as follows:

vince of Lower Galilee, sitting to judg-
ment i'm the presidential seat Of the Prae-
tors sentences Jesus of Nazareth TO death
on a cross between two robbers, as the
numerous and notorious testimonials of
the people prove:
I. Jesus is a misleader.

g. He is an enemy 10 the law.
4. He calls himself the Son Of God
8. He calls himself, falsely, the King Of

This sentence is engraved on plate Of
brass in the Hebrew language, and on its
sides are the following words a similar
ulate has been sent to each tribe" 1t was
discovered in the year 1880, in the city of
Aouilia. in the kingdom of Naples by
search made of Roman antiquities, and
remained there until it was found by the
commission of arts in the French army
of Italy. Up to the time of the campaign
I'm Southern Italy it was preserved in the
sacristv of the Carthusians, near Naples,
where it was kept in a box of ebony.
Since then the relic has been kept in the
chapel of Casert The Carthusians OBJ
tanned. by their petitions, that the plate
might be kept by them, which was
an acknowledgment of the sacrifices
which they made for the French army.
The French translation was made literally
bv members of the commission of arts.
Dcnnen had a fac-simile Of the plate
engraved, which was bought by Lord
Howard on the sale of his cabinet for
2 $50 francs. There seems to be no his
toricalIdoubt as to the authenticity of this.
The reasons of the sentence correspond
exactly with those Of the gospel.

THE POETS WALL.

O. the autumn days are coming,
When the bees have stopped their humming
And the partridge lone is drumming
IN the copse upon the hill;
When the leaves are slowly falling,
And the sable crow is calling
To his mate TO stop her squalling
With a wild and mOurnful trill;
Autumn winds the boughs are rustling,
And the towns again are hustling
While the countrymGn is hustling
With his apples and his corn;
DAYS OF Johnny-cake and bacon,
When the woods are all forsaken,
And the mcadow-larks have taken
Flight across the fields forlOrn.
'Tis the season melancholy,
DAVIS when Nature is not jolly;
Soon the welcome Christmas holly
viii be hung DER banquet hau;
Shows OF winter viii be DER us,
And the season soon will bore us
When in manner quite decorous
We must seek the evening ball;
For the summer days ere over,
Witberrd are the fields of clover,
And each merry woodland rover
on his hauDts no more docs dote;
And the question now, my dearie.
THAT doth make me feel SO weary,
Is the old oae. dark and dreary,

shot at Once from his Trusty Gun.
WALTON, Oct. 23.-Joseph McCue Of Sal
Ivan county is n little set in his opinions, but
owns up like q man when he finds that lie is
wrong The other day he was working in
his turnip patch, which is right across the
road from his house. There are not many
neghbOrs in the part Of Sullivan county
where Mr.. McCues farm is, which is the
Beaverldll country, near the Ulster county
line Mr.. McCue had heard a quail whistling
III his turnip patch, and had taken his shot
gun with him, thinking that maybe he might
get the quail for his supper. As the farmer
worked he was finally brought with his face
toward the road, and he caught a glimpse of
something passing along. Farmer McCue
raised himself up AS he looked toward the
road his eyes opened very wide. AS they
opened Mr.. McCue exclaimed:
"By jee!7
What the farmer saw was a bear, and it
was slouching deliberately along in the road,
past the house. There was nothing but bird
shot in Farmer McCue's gun, but he felt that
he must get that bear He seized the gun and
fired both barrels at bruin. The bear stopped,
looked in q deprecatory manner at the
farmer, and then passed on. The farmer
watched it until it disappeared in bend Of
the road. Then he examined the hammers OF
his gun and blew into the barrels. Satisfied
that the gun had gone off, he exclaimed:
missed him, by jee!"
Farmer McCue finished his work in the
turnip field and went to the house.

"Thrty-seven, mother, for each barrel"
"Nine buckshot, Joseph, is a big load for
any gun, and will kill an ELEPHANT
"Nine buckshot won't hurt a coon, mother,
and I'm after bear. Thirty seven is what

early education as a hunter was sadly neg

Now let that bear trespass on me again,
by iee!" said Farmer McCue
The next day he went to work again in his
turnip field. His gun, loaded for bear, was
with him. He had no idea of seeing tho bear,
so that when in making turn in the field he
came almost face TO face with it, evidently
enjoying itself among the turnips, from the
way it was pulling them up and munching

wide again and exclaim, with more vigor than
before: "By jeel'
Farmer McCue was bound TO get the bear,

his gun lay, he picked it up, took good aim at
the bear. and fired
