Forte Crayon's Joke.
Fron1 the Teras Siftfnqs.

The following good story is told of the late
Gen. Strothers Porte CrayOn), who at one
time during the wer was on the staff of Gen
Siegel Gems. Siegel and Crook were making a
raid on the cOnfederates in Tennessee. Their
commands were some distance apart. Each
had certain work to do and then they were to
unite their forces at a certain place.
Gen Crook performed his part we'll defeating
the coufederateS, and tearing up a long line of
railroad. On the other hand Siegel was defeated
and had to make hurried retreat over pike
road, very narrowly escaping capture. AS Gen.
Siegel was riding along at the head of his COM
mand, he heard an explosion of laughter among
his staff, just behind him, He turned and asked:
Schentlemens, Wy ish 1T dot you laughs so
mooch?
o, it is nothing, general It's one of Col.
Strothers little jokes.
Vas is den dat chokeg"
ITS nothing. general; nothing at all It's
only some of Strother's nonsense"
wen deere Something's so funny in dot
choke would laugh leete mysellef"
Gen Siegel insisted on knowing what "dot
leetle choke was, so his chief of staff told him
He said:
It's nothing, except Col Strothers Just
asked little conundrum. He wanted to know
what was the difference between Gen. Crook s
command and your command. He says that
Gen. Crook went tearing up the railroad, and
you came tearing down the pike, that's all"
Maybe dot vas a good choke, but it don't
seem so funny to me at all Col. Strothers, do
you hear dot?N

"SMELLED LIKE A BARROoM."
A Wife Attempts to Teach Her Hus-
band an Object Lesson.

From NedrS State Gazette.
The young woman who determined to shame
her husband by taking to tippling began opera
lions on Wednesday by setting out an exceed
ingly vulgar, redlabeled bottle on the back
parlor table in the most ostentatious way At
about the time her husband was expected home
she took good gulp of the liquor, and when
she heard what she supposed to be his foot
steps on the stoop, she drank another finger of
1t, and putting some more i'll her hand rubbed
IL over her lips Then she fled up to her room
to wait for him. She was intensely gratified by
the consciousness that, she expressed it,
she 'smeled like barroom." To her
surprise the door bell rang and she
peered over the rail to see who had come in
father, and a cousin or two from the country
The old lady spied her, and there was nothing
to do but to come straight down and kiss and
be kissed all round. She was mortified, for her
parents are very straight-laced piouS folks and
could not help but smell the gin with which she
had perfumed herself so literally. Worse,
still, while she was assisting her father to rid
himself of his overcOat, the rest of the party
filed solennly into the presence of the red
labeled bottle of the back room. Nothing was
said about the odor of the bottle, and she was
too proud to try to explain what looked so badly
for her. She told her husband however and
he was SO impolite as to throw himself on the
bed in commissions of laughter. She was so an
cry that she threatened to leave him. ''You
can't, said the monster your folks would not
receive you The most they would do would be
to put you in the inebriate asylum"

Tote Fair. Gentlernan.

The MORNING NEWS desires to enter its
protest against feature of the campaign
introduced by some of the esteemed repub-
hcan organs-that of misrepresenting the
personal appearance of Mr. Cleveland.
The President is not a strikingly hand
some man, but he has good, strong, honest
face, which no one can study without con-
GLIDING that, like Davy Crockett, he is first
sure he's right, and then goes ahead. Nor
is he devoid of a kindliness of expression
which carries the conviction that he is ac-
cessibe to the humblest citizen who may
have business with him; and on the princi-
pie of handsome is as handsome does, he
might be named among the best looking
men in the republic
Why, then, should some of the republican
organs give him the appearance of a high
wayman or condemned murderera Why
should the Chicago Mail do so, when he has
just selected Chicagoan for Chief Justice
Of the United States. Illinois is one of the
states which the democrats are going to
contest, aud it is manifestly unfair for the
Mail to prejudice its readers against Mr..
Cleveland before the democrats have had a
chance to say a word in his behalf. The
picture which the Mail presents might be
taken for composite one of a dozen of the
ugliest and meanest men in the country,
and voter who received from it his inn
preston Of the President would hardly be
open to conviction.
This sort of thing is the more unjust
when it is considered that the Mdirs candi-
date for President can lay no stronger
claims to personal beauty than Mr.. Glove
land. Indeed, it is questionable if Senator
Sherman is as good looking as the Presi-
dent Certainly his features are no better,
and he is entirely lacking in that brave,
open expression which the President has
His cold, calculating eye his straight nose,
which seems to be on a coal trail for some
thing or other, and his marble-like mouth,
are more repulsive than otheTwis
Yes, gentlemen, tote fair. If you are too
conscientious TO fiatter the President, you
can at least present a true likeness of him.
At all events, don't make him hideous-look-
ing, when he is really person of COM
manding appearance.

Her bright, deep eyes that almost speak.

The sweetness of her fair young face,
Her soft brown hair,
The contour of her rounded arm.

She is so fair
But when at times she plays croduet,
Or billiards, as she did to-day,
Or in that game Of love takes part,
In which she knows I've staked my heart

tanning several thousand pieces of glass,
is to be placed very soon in Trinity
church, Lenox, Mass. The design is
said to be very artistic in effect.
In the center there is a golden cross
surrounded by grape vines bearing fruit,
with four white doves perched upon the
branches. The background is of deep blue,
gradually growing lighter toward the top.
In the arch at the top is the seven branched
candle-stick, with alpha" and Omega" on

Titan red, surrounded by dark amber
jewels, upon which is an appropriate in

Mr.. Cleveland and the Colored Vote.

Mr.. Cleveland and the Colored Vote.
| The New York Age warns the Republi-
cans that, unless something is done to pre-
vent it, an unusually large number of
colored people in New York will vote for
Mr.. Cleveland next fall. 1t says: 1--WE
know of no other Democrat in the country
In whom colored voters of all shades of
opinion have more confidence, and for
whom larger number of them will cast
their ballots"
Can anything the Republicans may do
prevent an unusually large vote being cast
by the colored people for Mr. Cleveland
| ms administration has been such as to
commend itself to the colored people not
only of New York, but of the entire
country, showing, as it does, that Mr.
Cleveland is the President of all the people
In no instance has he turned'his back on the
colored people, but, on the contrary, he has
manifested at all times an interest in their
welfare and advancement. He has put no
obstacle in the way of their progress, but
has shown every disposition to help them in
laudable effort TO better their condition.
Some very important offices under the ad-
mlnlstratlon are held by colored people
A great many colored voters recognize
these things; and while, as heretofore, the
majority of them will vote the Republican
ticket, it would not be surprising if Mr..
Cleveland should receive much larger part
of the colOred vote than in 1884
Some of the foremost colored men in the
country will take the stump and WELD the
pen for him, and they will do effective
work
1t is about time the colored people were
understanding how little the Republican
party is doing for them, in comparison
with what they have done for the Republi-
can party. But for them, some very i'm
portant States which are now Republican
would be Democratic, and the pivotal
State of New York, cad of being doubt
full, would be ID emocratic.
If the promises f or the future are full
filled, the colored vote for the Democratic
candidate this year will be greater than it
ever was; and in that event the Republicans
will very likely demand that they be dis
franchised. And very curious spectacle
will be presented. Think of it! The
Republicans trying to disfranchise the
colored voters, and the Democrats trying
to prevent them from doing so!

The Washington correspondents are send
ing out the following story to Illustrate
Chief Justice-elect Fuller's smartness in
defeating justice. 1t can be safely said that
the story isn't true. If it is, Mr. Fuller
didn't know any of his clients were guilty
when he defended them. The story is as
follows: sit is said that one of Mr.. Fuller's
earliest exhibitions of cleverness which
brought him fame was the defense of
several Polanders charged with murder.
Fuller succeeding in getting them separate
trials and then defended them one after
another. 1t was so managed that the
offender thought to be least guilty was tried
first The trial was long one, but Fuller
ultimately triumphed and secured an
acquittal. The other cases were at once
called, when, to the amazement of every
one, Fuller introduced in their behalf full
confession of the crime by the one who had
just been acquitted With circumstantial
detail the criminal told Of the murder
making it plain beyond question that he
was the guilty party. He could not be tried
again, as the law provided that man could
not be put twice in jeopardy for the same
crime. At the same time the confession
cleared all the other defendants.

brothers got into a quarrel over some prop

Raoul, becoming very much incensed,
drew his pistol, killed them both, and then
turning the weapon upon himself, blew out
his own brains. OF course that settled the
dispute. The affair caused a little talk but
it ceased to be interesting within a day.
