A Weak Defence.

The democratic papers attempt to eXculpate
s. $. Brown by saying his method of brokerage
in post Offices is no worse than the system pur-
sued by republican congressman. AS no re-
publican Congressman was ever accused of
taking money for recommendations to post
Office positions, the attempt to help Browns
case by such comparison falls flat. And when
we recollect that Cleveland secured his election
largely by promises of reform in the distribu-
tion of government patronage, and that every
democratic paper made reform its war cry, and
that the outcome of Cleveiand's election has
resulted in the appointment to office of State
Prison birds and men notorious for having been
engaged in election frauds and for the estab-
lishment of brokerage business in postoftices
like that practiced by s. $. Brown, we wonder
If this is the reform promised, and how long a
deceived and indignant people will endure such
things. kennebec Journal.

Mad Dogs and Madstones.


There has been much excitement of late over
mad dogs, than which nothing is perhaps bet
ter designed to cause an excitement. The
prominence given to this topic Just now by the
daily press is due to the reported discovery of
cure for hydrophoba by an eminent French
chemist, and the fact that number of children
in Newark, \. j.. who were bitten by a mad
dog were sent to Paris for treatment and are
reported to have arrived home cured. The
cure discovered by NJ. Pasteur is said to be
elected by the preparation of a special virus
obtained from the spinal marrow of rabbits,
dead from hytlrophoba communicated to them
by incubation. NJ. PaSteur is well known in
the agricultural world by discovery of inocula-
tion of farm stock against the plague of char
bon. When person or an animal is bitten by
mad dog, the wound heals, and the frightfu
disease breaks out within month. Pasteur's
prepared virus, according to its strength, can
produce the disease within six days. or fifteen,
as required. A Paris correspondent says: "A
lad aged nine years, and Il shepherd aged
tWenty-three years, We're terribly worried by
mad dogs, foaming at the mouth. A consulta-
ton of surgeons agreed that their doom was
inevitable Pa>tcur m0culated them with his
special hydrophobia virus they are now saved,
and in sound health. a> the period when the
horrible disease ought to manifest itself, has
fully expired"
OF course there are those who doubt. Some
contend that che patients were not bitten by
mad dogs, and therefore not liable to hv,lro-

CHiLDREN'S DRESSES.
Autumn and Early Winter Fashions For
Very Young Girls.

Autumn and Early Winter Fashions For
Very Young Girls.
Useful every day dresses for children
of five and seven or eight years are
arranged of different kinds of serge in
bright and dark colors, either trimmed
with light Or dark braid, or some glossy
silk material The skirts are mostly
box-pleated, the pleats being very wide
but fiat, and often kept in place by
braided silk or velvet tabs. The blouse
or jacket corsages are chosen to match
the skirt ornamentations, and the latter
slit up at the hind seams and edged
with small gilt or bright contrasting
buttons. Large white collars and cuffs
dark silk, and with small devices or
initials at the corners, the cuffs being
left over for this purpose on the top Of
the arm, make such costumes both be-
coming and yet practical, a sash ia
sometimes added in front if required
to be a little more dressy. More
elaborate models, when made OF
strong, durable stuff, are also in
good taste, and may be preferred
by many ladies who wish to see their
children look as nice as possible We
observed, for instance, lately a dainty
dark WOODEN costume for girl of six,
with a full skirt, long waistcoat beauti-
fully embroidered with another color,
and opened back and front to show
small pleated surah plastron, bordered
with similar embroidery, and a casaeue
of the same material short in front and
long at the sides and back, where il
was finished off with a full pufed
basque. Dark embroidery and large
buttons formed pannels on the skirt
and filed out very tastefully the open
space between the short front and hong
side pieces, caught together at the waist
with broad pleated tab of the dresa
material and velvet.

The latter part of Percy's speech was
addressed more to himself than the
others, and at it's conclusion he dropped
his head upon the table and burst into
tears.
But they were not tears of weakness.
Every one of the three beholders knew

What they were pleased to call his
mainly -pambyism was really his good
ness, in which he was their superior.
True, any one of the three could have
clicked him, for it was very apparent
that Percy was not strong bodily, bu!
where they had failed he had bravely
shown himself the champion OF the
weak. Yes, Percy was the best man,
the only gentleman of them all. Every
one of the three knew it, and in his own
heart acknowledged that he had beer
tried and found wanting.
And now, did Edward feel

which can be felt, even when it can not
be seen. Had three cats tried to fly up
into the domain of the birds, they could
hardly have been more out OF place
than were these three boys in the &c,
waited region of Percy's best thought
and feelings.
But this one cat in particular, Ed.
ward, had the good sense to feel that he
was in strange garnet, SO too, had the
other cats, Walter and Will, in a less
degree. They would have rectiied their
mistake, if they could, and, thanks tc
Percy's suggestion, they found a good
way.
''Sit down now he said. "and write
nice letters to your sisters, adding bit
terly, ''this is pleasure denied to ME,
for have no sister,"
They did write letters to their sisters
Edward, Walter and VIII. Edward
really did catch inspiration from Lucy's
letter, wrote her just such an answer as
it deserved-never forgot it as long as
he lived. Walter and VIII apologized
for neglecting their sister SO long, and
did the best they could to get up re-
spectacle missives-probably they never
forgot either. But, after Edward had
finished his letter to Lucy, he still felt
little dissatisfied; he began to realize, as
he never did before, the true worth of a
good girl, and, partly with the idea of
working off his dissatisfaction, partly
with that of giving expression to his
new-found thought of a good girls
worth, he also wrote very pretty letter
to his old-time friend, Mary Bell.

FLlPPANT HUMOR.
An Incident Which Should Convey Lesson
toAspiring Paragraphers.

| to Aspiring Paragraphers.
The tendency of the writer of tbs
present day is to over-estimate the oc.
casions for .humor. There are subjects
in life too grand, too noble and too I'M
selfish for the flippant jest There are
attributes of the human heart--honor,
virtue, love, religion and thoughts on
death and eternity, awful and sacred,
before which in reverent expectancy we
wait, like Moses before the burning
bush. The breaking of public trust
is a fearful sin in the sight of God and
man. and whoever seizes it as q topic
for humorous display, consciously OF
unconsciously, lowers the standard OF
morality by substituting a solemn.
mocking laugh for strong feeling O.
solemn horror and revulsion.
Not long since, a well-known humor-
list was announced to lecture. As he
fingered in the anti-room of the crowded
hall, telegram informing him of the
death of his mother-in-law was placed
in his hands. Tender, loving, deep and
feverent was the feeling between them.
and he felt as though the angel of
death had called his own dear mother.
Staggering under the terrible blow,
he informed the manager in a few hur-
ried words of his bereavement, and
of the impossibility of his going on
tie platform. In despair the manager
spoke of the enthusiastic audience, even
then stamping impatiently for their ia
vorite; expostulated, even ragged, but
all in vain. At last, he urged the
lecturer to at least make his own apol-
ogy to the audience. With tear-dimmed
eyes, barely seeing his way, he tottered
to the footlights. Before that vast au-
dience he held the telegraphic message
of death, and in a, voice choked and
quivering with emotion, stammered out
his apologize could not lecture as his
mother-in-law had just died. That
crowded house, hushed to catch the
faint utterance of his opening words.
hurst into storm of laughter and APP
plause that seemed to shake the very
rafters. The excuse seemed to them
but an original, witty prelude to an
evenings fun. The stricken man begged,
implored, even prayed them to believe
HIM; but that grand assemblage, blind
victims to morbid hnmor, heard him
not, and he made his way out into the
open air as best he could, leaving them
to discover later their cruel mistake.
The mother-in-law joke, now classic,
should be stuffed and relegated to some
dusty museum shelf forever Book
