suggests that as Gen. Gof and Hon. W.
l.. Wilson entered Congress together as
colleagues six years ago and have served
together continuously since that time,
the important questions which now di-
vide the Republican and Democratic
parties have been largely formulated and
elaborately discussed in the National
Legislature, each having been conspicu-
Gus in advocating the views held by
their respective parties, and each now
being candidates before the people, it
would be peculiarly appropriate and ac-
ceptable to the people that the joint dis

Hon. n 5. Riiey Chairman, ete.:
DEAR SiR:-Your favor Of this date re-
ceiyed. We think it eminently proper
that two men chosen by their respective
parties as candidates for the highest office
in the State, should have decided views
upon all the questions at issue, and be
willing 10 discuss them before thepeople
whose sulTrages they solicit. My invita-.
ton to Judge Fleming waste discuss not
National issues only, but State affairs US
well, and OF these latter he must be pre-
sumed to have some knowledge ii he is
a fit person to fill the office OF Governor,
and deal with .hese questions in I'M in
telligent manner in its administration.
Since in the judgment OF your Commit
tee Judge Fleming is not prepared to
discuss the economic and political issues
involved, but you have seen proper to
make appointments for him in the in
terror OF the State until after the first
week in October, | beg to suggest that
there is abundant time for the discus
sion with General Gotf after his sPresent
engagements are filled, and also time for
obtaining such political information as
would III him for the general discussion
OF the issues involved in the present
canvass. in other parts OF the State
than the interior, where We are left to
infer he is discussing them withoutsuch
information.
/ again call attention to my PROPOSE
ton above, that discussions be held be-
tween General Gof and Judge Fleming
after the first week in October, and re-
quest your answer | remain,
Very respectfully yours,

Good Company. philatleluhlA TImea,

It takes two to make bargain, but sometimes it takes only one to make a conversation. It Is wonderful, too, how very interesting such a oonversa- tion often is-to the oAe,
 Ex-Governor Beriah Magotiin, oi Kentucky, got into thc train one day at Frankfort to go to Lexington. He sat down by tho side of a very hand some, intelligent looking young man, The governor, who was a great talker, at once began to chat,
 The young man listened well, ap- parently, nodding his head from time to time, as it he agreed with tho gov ernor's views, but it seemed that he couldn't find time to put in word, This continued antil they reached Lexington, when a cordial hand shake and an exchange of cards took place,
 Subsequently, in tho corridor ot the PhWnix hotel, the governor was tell ing party of friends about the meet ing, say ing the young man was one of the most agreeable fellows he ever en- countcred.
 "rerhaps some of you know him" said hc, "he has one brown and ono gray eye. But stop, have his card !''
 "Why, governor" said one of the party, "that was Bob King hos tuat and dumb. Everybody knows him !"

Forgot the Baby.
Exchange.

An English explorer of Central America reports the native Indians as sadly addicted to drink, men and women alike. He even goes so far as almost to favor revival of the old Aztec law, under which all young drunkards were stoned to death. In connection with his remarks upon the subject, he narrates the following story:
 A ludicrous incident occurred shortly before my arrival in a small Indian community on the coast. A baby was to be baptized, but the only church was some leagues distant.
 Arrangements were made for the ceremony to take place at certain time, and all the friends and relations, together with those most concerned, set out to keep the appointment.
 As the distance was too great to be accomplished on the morning fixed for the baptism the party started in the afternoon before.
 When they had gone about halt way, they sat down by the roadside, and soon forgot their business in a general publication.
 Night passed, and one leEs mud died than the rest suddenly remem- bered what he had come for, and arousing his companions, they all stumbled of to their destination.
 They arrived in due time at the church, and found the priest ready, but just as he was commencing the service, it was discovered that there was no baby. Then there was great commotion, messengers were des- patched, and the infant was found safe in the spot where it had been de- posited during the festivities of the previous night.

Big Words. ChicARn IIernlal.

Secretary Bayard is given to the use of big words. His state papers con- tain words unknown to any dic- tionary. He is even suspected by many people of having written that cele- brated message of the presidents In which thc expression "innocuous des- uetude" occurred. Be that as 1t may. his failing in this regard has fre- quently furnished his former associates in the senate with peg to hang a story on. Among the best stories is that told by "Zeb" Vance, of North Carolina, to party of friends who were discussing Bayard's peculiarities.
 Do you know" said the North Carolina senator. "what am re- minded of whenever l read one of Brother Bayard's official communica- tions to the senateI"
 "No."
 "You don't? Well, l will tell you. It reminds me of the conversation once heard between two darkies:
 "'Julius, is you better dis morn- ing? said one.
 "'No. was better yesterday, but Ps got ober dat,' replied the other.
 "Am dere no hopes ob your dis cobery2'
 "Discobery ob what?'
 "Your discobery from the conva- lescence what am tetching you on your back
 "'Dat depen's, sah, altogeddah on the prognostification which implies de disease; should they continue fatually, he hopes dis cullud individual won't die dis time. But. as l said aEore, that all depen's on the progDostics {; and till dese come to a head dere am no telling wedder dis pusson will come to discuntinuation or odderwise."

 THE DEATH OF HOPE.
BY HOWARD CARLETON rRIPP.

My child held upon my knee,
 His head was pillowed on my breast, And he appeared to be at rest And dreaming of the years to be. And, dreaming of the coming years,
 pictured where my Hope would stand A noble hero in command Of noble men and gallant peers. I saw him reach the heights of fame
 And stand victor far above
 His manly comrades who in love And admiration spoke his name. In hopeful dream, saw in pride
 My boy as he would be in age;
 My hearts desire and heritage While he upon my bosom-diedl Thus dreaming Hope forever flies
 Beyond our grasp, beyond our sight, As day is shrouded into night, s'Hope slckens in our breast and dies"

"The lnsolenee of omee. {"
Phlladelrhla Eyenine Bulletin.


 Mark Twain, having survived par ticipation in the authors readings, is now playing Rip Vaa HSakie in re- visiting the places in Washington of which he was a habitue twenty years ago. In fact, more than twenty years have passed since Mark, then with little reputation and less money, was eking out a living as the special cor respondent of some Pacific coast pa- pers while writing his book, "Inno- cents Abrosd," which was to make him famous and start him on the road to much riches. After several pas sages with the doorkeepers of the house, Mark is of opinion that "thc insolence of office" is as rife now as 1t was in his time, to say nothing of Shakespean's. Presenting his card to one of these officials, the height of whose ambition is to be mistaken for congressman, Mark asked that it be sent to Sunset Cox. The doorkeeper disdained to look at the card which he had, as if afraid of contamination, but viewed the humble humorist from head to foot and sized him up for "the country jay" that Marks drawl and dialect suggested.
 "You can't sec Mir. Cox"
 "Whyp'
 "Because he Is busy"
 "How do you know2 Is he making & speech?"
 Nav, but he can't see you"
 "Well, how can get in the press gallery?"
 "Are you reporter2"
 "No, but used to be & mighty good one when lived in Virginia City"
 Well, if you ain't one now you can't get in," and he pushed Mark aside to be polite to gentle female lobbyist whose card went in to her member fast enough. Finally, the humorist passed the pickets of the press gallery. Alter he had asked in vain for the dead and gone corre- spondents who had been his chums, Colonel Mann recognized him and gave him the World mans seat in the front row, whence he had fine view ot the statesmen of the present genera ton wrangling over the labor bills. Mark says he will soon publish con- pilation of other peoples humorous writings, and is also engaged upon an original work which he hopes to finish some time next summer.
 Having "swapped lies" for n while with the correspondents, Mark tried the floor apnin. This time he was rec ognized, and Mr. Cox not only went out to see him. but took him on the floor and made him acquainted with all of the congressional celebrities from Reed of Maine to Martin oi Texas. He kept the crowd of mcm- bers around him laughing till tho gavel of the speaker came to the res- cue of order. He says the levee that he had reminds him very much oi those he used to see on the Mississi ppi in the days when he was piloting.

 She put on her bonnet and walked out with us, and the six children brought mp the tail-end of the process sion. As got into the vehicle, Zekiel began:
