"Once upon time" lion and a
bear started on a hunt together with
the understanding that the game killed
should be divided between them. Az
ter hunting for quite while deer
was killed, and the hunters set about
dividing it, but soon fell into dispute
about the division and began finally to
fight and continued the battle until
both were exhausted, and lay on the
ground with their tongues hanging out
glaring at each other. At this stage Of
the game fox enters upon the
scene and drags off the game to his
den, while the two combatants looked
on wholly unable to prevent him.
Also, That's our condition, we fear,
in this 3rd congressional district.
While 'Rhea's and Halsells friends have
been wrangling among themselves a
willy Republican has carried off the
congressional game.
tt does seem that there are very few
of us who learn much wisdom until
we are old enough to die, when Of
course worldly wisdom is Of little value.
For the last five or six weeks we've
been qulrreling and "argyfyin" and
when the election comes off some OF us
are at home mad, some on the fence,
some are off in the woods running a
cold trail when we should all have been
standing around until the tree fell and
the game was caught, and then see
that it was carried safely home. Well
live to fight some other day. Lets have
our fighting clothes on.
Finest rain you ever saw to-day,
and we were fearfully dry, cisterns all

some "benzine." Some shrou led in

THE article in this paper signed by
Rev. d. A. Brigham, expresses briefly
what the Editor of the CHRONICLE
would have said TO any gentleman who
desired to know in regard.to his posi-
ton.
The editor Of newspaper devotes his
time to collecting and publishing news,
and reading men who desire long dis
sertations look for that style OF litera-
ture in books and magazines. The
weekly newspaper must, OF necessity,
deal with all questions in brief, pointed
sonlences-and the intelligent reader
is complimenIed by this brevity-be-
cause 1t leaves him to draw his own con-
illusions.
To the editor everything Of public in
terest constitutes an item and as he
writes and collects news for the whole
public he has neither time nor inclina-
ton TO become a specialists sermon,
a police trial, funeral, a fire, polti-
cal debate, marriage or a burial are
all items in which some OF his readers
are more interested at special times
than others.
Thus, toiliny rejoicing sorrowing,
Onward through life he goes,
with little time for taking party sides
on every discussion which may spring
up between men in their own exclusive
field Of labor. He could, If he saw
fit, find food for meditation or sarcasm
in the follies OF parties and the creeds OF
moalists, yet his criticisms, after all
might only "darken council with much
speaking, and Shakespeare, the worlds
great moral philosopher and poet, told
the people nearly three hundred years
ago that
la.'The world is still deceived by ornament:
In law what plea 80 tainted and corrupt
But being favored by gracious voice
UDscurps the show OF evil,
In religion what damned error
But some sober brow will bless Il,
And approve IL with text"
Summing this thing up briefly, any
respectful: communications, free from
insulting personalities to our readers,
let the subject be what it may, will re-
ceive respectful attention, but the
editor OF this paper emphaticaly refuses
to be boycotted, or bribed, or misrep-
resented as opposing any creed whether
of Jew or Gentle, and while he is al
ways grateful for the friendship Of gen.
tlemen such as Rev. Mr.. Brigham, will
be glad to publish his articles, as from
contributor. He nor have any wish or
need for Supervising editor of the
CHRoNlcLE-the old paper which is not
ian infant industry" and asks no "pro-
lection" but justice and fair dealing
from any source.

A BasebalI B3og.

The rival mines were made up of boys under 18, and Major. As ] reached the ground it was his inning. and his master, who claimed the privilege Of striking for him, was at the bat. The dog was right behind with one paw in advance and his eyes on the striker. Tn came the twister., and Major made several false starts, but finally, as,the ball went scudding from the bat, off he rushed for first base, his ears Tapping, his plume-like tail out straight behind. But the short stop was too nimble for the dog, and, just before he reached the base, the ball arrived there, and he came slowly back, his tail hanging low ard q very mournful expression in his great eyes. "lIage's out-side out" cried the boys, and immediately con-
 ing method by which he could retrieve this disaster the dog seemed 10 regain his spirits, dashed into the field, and was speedily in his position as left helder, before any Of the others had reached their places. I the pre-, liminary pass around" that preceded the play, Major was not left out, and I saw that the balls that were thrown at him directly were quite as swift as those delivered from base to base, and in justice to him I never saw him "muff." When ball was thrown at mm he settled back and dropped his great lower jaw into which the pro iectile seemed to fit; then, with tai wagging. he would hasten to carry the ball to the next player. He was equally proficient with low balls, either catching them in his mouth or stopping them with lis broad chest, and in fielding he could not be out done. When he caught ball he car ried 1t at full speed to the nearest thrower, and not few players Were put out by his puck motion and actiyity.-St. Nicholas.

On the 2lst of this month the body Of a man was found about mile this side Of Valture, between inc Smith mill aud Seymour roads. The state of the corpse was such as 10 indicate that he had been dead for several weeks at least. There were no other clothes on the corpse than pair of brooches, and although an inquest was held by Justice Estabrook, the advanced stage of decomposition rem dered it impossible to judge either oi the age or appearance of the victim when alive. Itis assumed, however, that he became bewilJered on lhe de- sert either through iutoxica,jon or q lack of knowledge of the country, and perished from thirst.-Gazatte.
