Radical temperance people declare the
prohibition question is similar to the slavery
question in its moral aspect. There is about
as much similarity in the questions as there
is between the moon and green cheese.
Slavery was an Infringement on the natural
rights Of a man. The slave was subject to
the crack of his masters whip. 1t is not so

Last Friday evering Mrs. Cleveland found
some OF the thorns that lurk in her rosy po-
sition of the first lady of the land. At a re-
ception on Friday night she. shook hands
with five thousand people who filed through
the White House. She was tired and pale
at IL O'Clock, and the President almost lost
his temper in his anxiety for her. Washing
ton Is beginning 10 declare its belief that she
cannot stand the social requirements of her
position AT last when the reception was
over her right hand was much swollen and
her white silk mitts were white no longer.
A number of ladies', cabinet officers,
stood by her side to assist, but the large ma
jerity of the callers took no notice of them
and seemed only to care TO shake hands
with the President and his bride. Long may
she live in good health to enjoy the high
position that she has come honestly by is
the prayer OF the people OF the Republic.
The Huntingdon Globe OF last week tells
The a4iiasrins M ID a Ls-s, su- cnt4--
prising young farmer residing near Bakers
Summit, recently discovered that one of his
cows which until lately gave few gallons
of milk daily, for some reason gave tut very
little at the evening milking. He was at a
loss to know the cause of this, but rather
supposed some person during the day had
needed milk and consequently patronized
his COW for it. until last week when neigh
bor's boy discovered that the COW was be-
ing MIXED by black snake under large
oak tree, which stood in the pasture field.
Mr.. Long, being informed, investigated the
matter and found the boy IS story to be cor
rect, and also discovered that instead of
there being one snake robbing him there
were three large ones making their home in
the old tree and milking his COW when she
sought the shade. The strange story be-
came generally known by last Sunday and
not being very picus, quite large crowd OF
Mr.. Longs neighbors arming themselves
with guns, axes and clubs marched to attack
the snakes, one OF which was shot on the
tree, but to capture the others they decided
to cut the tree down, which they did and in
the stump, which was hollow, another OF the
snakes, black one, few inches over sew
en- feet was captured.
