We want the people to know that the same JOB
the Democrat charges 81. 80 for. the Herald
charges 81 for. Thus do our county oficees help
the dear people along by giving the work 10 the
Herald for party sake.-Democrat.
And we want the people to know that
the above is a Whopper. The No 10
envelopes printed for Judge Cole Aor
which the Democrat charged 8, 80. are
not nearly so good in quality as those we
charge 81. for, and we viii leave 81 to
any competent disinterested stationary
dealer to decide. Those we charge
S4.OO per 500 for, cost us without
freight s. 40. If Covington has any
full boxes on hand such as ours, we will
pay him at the rate of $500 cash per
thousand without any printing on
then. We furnish some No. 10 en-
VelOpes printed, as low as $500 per
800, There is as much difference in
the quality Of env elopes as there is in
quality of calico or muslin. Since the
Democrat was issued last week we have
enquired into this matter pretty care
fully, and we found that that Office
OA"L 80S III sOLCS "a prices 1Ot JOO-PLlHI-
ing. He has taxed some business men
as high as 1925 per thousand for letter
heads and in fact seems to have no well
defined idea of the price that should be
charged. The Captain has not been
in the printing business q year yet and
probably knows more about flat-boat-
ing and democratic politics than he
does about printing. The little scheme
matured by the Democrat man and his
friends in and about the Probate Judges
ofhce, to create a little thunder over
the printing of 500 envelopes Of poor
quality for 81 &c less than the HERALD
charged for 500 CT good quality, is a
very stupid one.

The Dispatch of last week objects
to the way the HERALD alluded to the
Poor House matter and says:
There are a few other little matters if looked
at carefully in connection with this poor house
business would go TO show that others are in the
wrong as well as Capt. Coyington, but as these
are personal friends Of that paper only one side
u given.
The HERALD never put all the
blame upon Covington. IfGhe Dis
patch means that some friends of the
HERALD are guilty of some intention
al wrong why does it not frankly say
so and give thenames of our friends"
These round about insinuatiOns that
somebody has done something crook
ed is not the most manly way of max
ing charges. What does the Dis
patch mean?

Jenny Lind's Best Compliment.

1t was the remark of Jenny Lind
that the best compliment ever paid
her was by an old lady who resided
in one of the humble cottages of
England. In one of her travels one
day she took occasion to call at one
of these unpretentious homes, where
she was met by an old lady. "Have
you ever heard Jenny Lind?" in
quired the sweet singer. "No, have
not. 1t costs too much money for
us poor folks; only the rich can hear
her sing" responded the lady. Where
upon the sweet singer announced her
acquaintance with Jenny Lind, and
whom she had frequently heard sing,
and offered to give the old lady a
song. The woman was greatly de-
lighted and at once assumed the
position of auditor, while Jenny Lind
began the familiar ballad, "Home
Sweet Home" Ere the first verse
was sung the old lady was in tears.
She seemed entranced, and when the
song was concluded, looking stead
fastly at the singer, in earnest tones
exclaimed, "This must be Jenny
Lind!"

Wouldn't Let Him Speak.

There is time to keep silence, but
it evidently was not the right time in

his mother and grandmother decided
to place poultice over the wound.
The boy vigorously resisted. II

and the majority being two to one,
at bedtime the poultice was ready.
If the poultice was ready, the boy
was not, and he proved 50 refractory
that switch was brought into requi-

1t was arranged that the grand
mother should apply the poultice,
while the mother was to stand with
the uplifted switch at the bedside.
The boy was told that if he "opened
his mouth, he would receive that
which would keep him quiet" As the
hot poultice touched the boys foot,
he opened his mouth. "You"-he
began.
"Keep STILL said the mother,
shaking the stick, while the grand
mother busily applied the poultice.
Once more the. little fellow opened
his mouth, "I"-but the uplifted
switch awed him into silence. In a

An Island of the Blest.

The noblest and most character
istic volcanoes, whether we class
them by the energy of their ex-
plosions or the volume of their ejec-
tions, are found in Iceland and in the
Malayan Archipelago. In Iceland
the volcano of Skaptar in the single
eruption of 1888, poured out tide
of lava exceeding in bulk all that has
flowed from Vesuvius and Etna COM
bined since the eruption of Pliny. 1t
has been computed that the volume
of lava which flowed from Skaptar
in that year was greater than the
mass of Mont Blanc. The gas
eruption which attended this molten
tide was proportionally great; the
clouds of fine cinders foated over
Europe and so darkened the sky as
to occasion fears of some great
calamity. Although Iceland is
thinly peopled country, this catas-
trophe was extremely destructive to
human life; nearly a fifth of the
population persisted in the villages
which were overwhelmed by the
eruption, from the famine which came
from the loss of the years crops, and
the frightening of the fish from the
neighboring sea.
The thousand years of struggle
which the Icelanders had with polar
cold and central fire is one of the
most pathetic incidents in the history
of our race. Almost every generation
on that island has borne heavy
burden from earthquake shocks or
volcanic explosions, and yet this
people have managed, by labor and
thrift, to develop and maintain we'll
ordered civilization. For centuries
the social order has been more secure,
education more general, and the moral
quality purer than in the happier parts
of the world. Everywhere else save
in this marvellous island we find that
man is degradedin spirit from hope
less contest with physical Ills Prof.

He Was Posted on Scripture.

Jobnny's mother was rather proud
of her skill in the hair-cutting line,
and was very fond of showing it,
much to Johnny's disgust. Being
nine years old, he was disposed to
patronize the barber. The other day,
when his mother was making prepara-
tons which usually proceed the terri
BILE ordeal, which he knew was to
make him the laughing stock of his
playmates, he remarked:
"Mamma, I'm not going to have
you cut my hair to-day"
"What do you mean, johnny"
Il can't allow it, ma. l am really
afraid. It's dangerous. "
"What on earth are you afraid of,
child?"
"Why, mamma" said the pre-
cocious youngster, backing into q
corner, "Pm surprised at you.
Didn't you hear what happened to
Samson because he let woman cut
his hair? You ought to read your
Bible"
His mother was so thoroughly as
tonished that he made his escape to
the street before she could say an
other word.-[ Merchant Traveller.

in place, and the boy was tucked in
bed. "There, now," said his
mother, "the old silver will be drawn
out, and Eddie's foot will be all
WE'LL" AS the mother and grand
mother moved triumphantly away,
a shrill, small voice came from under
the bedclothes:
"You have got it on the wrong
foot?'

Children S Corner.
The Children.

They are such tiny feet
They have gone SO short away to meet
The years which are required to break
Their steps to eyenness and make
Them go
More sure and SLOW
They are such little hands
Be kind; things are so new and life but stands
A step beyond the doorway. All around
New day has found
Such tempting things to shine upon; and so
The hands are tempted oft, you know.
They are such fond, clear eyes,
That widen to surprise
At every turn They are so often held
TO sun or showers showers soon dispelled
BY looking In our face.
Love asks for such much grace.
They are such fair, frail gifts
Uncertain as the riffs
OF light that lie along the sky;
They may not be here by and by
Give them not love, but more, above
And harder, patience with the love.
