that il the house should pass a Demo-

the Democratic prospects in the Presi-

A handsome young widow, whose
husband obtained divorce from her at
the late term of court, called at the
Clerks office the other day and told
that official she had called to have him
change her name. The clerk fell under
the table; but soon recovering crawled
out and blushingly told the young lady
that the only way he could change her
name would be TO marry her, and as his
wife was uncommonly quick tempered
person she would be apt to raise talk
about it and he, therefore, hoped she
would excuse him. The lady explained
that she simply wanted to be restored
to her maiden name, but was told that
she was too late in the day Wood Co.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Mr.. CLEVELAND is the only candi
date for the Presidency who ever made
cash contributions to the National cam.
paign fund to promote his own election
a CHANGE in ten or eleven Congress.
ional Districts is all that is needed. with
the election of Republican President
to put the entire Government into Re
publican hands.
The denomination of Congressman
Kelley, of Pennsylvania, which is equiv
alent to a reelection, insures him con-
tlnuous service of thirty years, in case
his life is spared.
THE Government under Mr.. Cleveland
and Democratic economy" is costing
about S2,000,000 more month than it
did under the last Republican Admins
tration. In the last year alone 799 new
offices have been created, costing more
than $85O,000 year.
WHEN Mr.. Thurman asserts that "vou
can not name one good cause in the last
hundred years that has not been foster
ed by the Democratic party" he must
have had in mind ballot-box frauds, po-
lygamy, political intimidation and muir
der, slavery, treason, civil war, imitation,
and free trade.
HENRY WATTERsON declares that the
Democratic party is not upon the fence,
but sis free trade party or nothing"
Then it should make more than half its
leaders get down from their roost.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

The drama is a mirror of life.
Moral strength is the highest kind OF
health.
An enemy is teacher who costs us
nothing.
An ounce of heart is worth a pound
of culture.
The time is never lost that is devoted
to good works.
Duties fulfilled are always pleasures
to the memory.
One hours sleep before midnight is
worth two after.
Our pleasant vices make instruments
to scOurge us.
Gayety is often the reckless ripple over
depths of despair.
The glory and increase of wisdom
stands in exercising it.
The more you speak of yourself, the
more you are likely to lie.
No man was ever so much deceived
by another as by himself.
The surest way of making a dupe is
to let your victim suppose you are his.
Be content to do the things you can
and fret not because you cannot do ev-
erything.
True wisdom is to know what is best
worth knowing, and to do what is best
worth doing.
1t is singular thing that man new
er begins to show his temper till he
loses it.
In the economy of life it doesn't pay
to be always borrowing trouble and Civ
ing high rate of interest for it.
When the tongue of ISLANDERS stings
thee, let this be thy comfort-they are
not the worst fruits on which the wasps
alight.
There is nothing that strengthens a
mans honesty so much as to trust him;
suspect him, and you weaken his faith
in himself and everybody else.
Beware of gossip; little quiet shut
ting of the mouth when we are tempted
to tell what "we heard about somebody"
would soon cure that .abominable habit
of small talk.

TALK ON THE TARIFF.

The following short tariff talk is no
tice that has been posted in one of the
jute spinning mills of the United States
1t is of interest to the public generally
as well as the mill operatives in partic-
uIar:
"This is protected industry.
"This mill pays dollars where compel
ing mills in India pay dimes.
''The Calcutta mills have machinery
equal to the machinery in the mill and
made by the same establishment.
eff the wages were not satisfactory
to those who earn them, the same per
sons would not remain here year after
year.
This company has paid no dividends
to shareholders since February, 1884,
but it has paid fair average wages to
employees up to the present time.
"Since organizing this corporation in
1872 the dividends have not averaged
four a. per cent per annum. Would
the employees be satiied to invest money
at that rate?
s.'The salaries of officers have always
been small, the stock has never been
'watered,' and controlling interest can
now be purchased at a par value of 800
per share.
'The average wages paid from year
to year could not have been greater
without bankrupting the company, stop
ping the works and depriving all hands
of daily employment.
"If the wage system did not give a
full share of the profits to the working
people, competing mills would be start
ed on the cooperative plan. The alb
sence of such establishments is evidence
that protection protects the wage worker.

MSITTTNG NTuE CHAIR. GROVER

TN SITTING IN THE CHAIR, GROVER
CAS- sung with great success by Calvin s. Brce }
I'm sitting in the chair, Grover, where
I've sat for ninety days, And the sound
of dying footsteps through the open
door is borne, 'Tis the sound of fleeing
Democrats they're going on the trot
To join with the enemy and leave us
here to mourn. But what can l do.
Grover, what can do for our cause? l
know but little of these things, as you
must well remember; Oh, send us one
more check, Grover, only another check,
Twill keep what little life we have till
the sixth of next November
Yes, they've got us on the run, Grover,
they've got us on the run, And all that |
can do is to sit and sadly smile; l talk to
all that come to me with child-like con-
fidence; but things are getting worse
and wOrse-I know it all the while;
There's all the doubtful States-they
aren't doubtful any more! Those that
were doubtful once, Grover, now are SOL
id for protectiOn:-T New York
and Indiana, they are going dead against
lis, and New Jersey and Connecticut
they only bring detection!
So I'm sitting here alone, Grover.
where I've sat for days together, and
scalding tears roll downward fast as the
summers rain; for every move I've made, |
Grover, has been glaring error, and
there's little now for us but tears and |
gloom and pain; And the only thing
that's left us now is dear old Arkansaw,
Where the grand old Democratic vote
will surely not decrease; So / sit here in
the chair, Grover, and wish that all were
like Dear old Arkansaw where pistols
always have six votes apiece!-N. Y.

A JUST and reasonable modesty does
not only recommend eloquence, but sets
off every great talent which man can

IT is Reform, for the President and
