BRIGHT BITS.

PRECIsELY.-
Fishes are weighed in their scales,
And an elephant packs his own trunk;
But rats never tell tueir own tales,
And one seldom let's chnk in a chunk.
DOGS seldom wear their own pants,
Which fact lays them open TO scorn
No nephew niece fancieS ants,
And COW never blows its own horn,
cat cannot parse its own claws;
NO porcupine nibs his own quill.
Though orphan bears still have their paws,

Sick ducks never X 10 quack,
A horse cannot pillow his own name.

The Philadelphia Times says the follow
ing are the doubtful states: California
Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hamp-
shire, New York, West Virginia and Wis
consin. These states cast IA electoral
votes. OF these states, the Times thinks
New York, Connecticut, Indiana and West
Virginia are more likely to go democratic
than republican. In this, the Times is
right. West Virginia may be relied on, and
if New York and one other state named
vote for Mr.. Cleveland, he will be re.

Fell cool and sweet.

Moonlight on summer seas, the sunsets glow,

Or dear dead folded hands, and sweet closed
eyes
Remembering love will give them back again

The number of electoral votes necessary
for choice is pol. Mr. Cleveland will get
the 1873 votes of the southern states, and it
is conceded that he will get the nine of New
Jersey, making 1862. There is hardly any
doubt tsat he will get the thirty-six Of his
own state, New York, making 1913, or three
less than the number required lie will get
the others needed in Indiana, Connecticut,
Califor ia or Michigan. Perhaps he will
carry each enc of these states. Stranger
things have happened.

Mr.. Blaine Catchas il.


From the NeW York Times (lnd)
1t is worth the while of business men to
reflect on the position aud character OF the
Republican party as shown ia the base aud
cowardly falsehoods constantly poured out by
ITS greatest leader, Mr.. Blaine, with regard to
the Secretary of the Treasury. We do not now
refer TO the singular misstatements he is
always making as to the policy of the treasury.
Probably many of these can be explained by his
peculiar ignorance of this class OF questions. 1t
is quite likely that ne is not capable of under
standing the real nature effect of financial
measures except 50 far as they may touch his
own pocket or those of confederateS Ike MIR.

The tariff bugaboo isn't working in New
Jersey, for the republicans concede that
state TO the democrats. 1t should be borne
in mind that New Jersey is a manufactur-
ing state. The tariff bugaboo can't work
in New York, which has heretofore voted
for tariff reform, or in Indiana, where the
republicans are afraid TO mention high
tariff. The republicans may as well take in
the old scarecrow.

As was announced in our dispatches the
other day, Judge Lawrence has sustained
the late Mr.. Tilden's will. This does not by
any means insure for New York free Ii

years before the contest over the will is
finally settled. The case will now be taken
&c higher court, and, no matter how it is
decided there. it probably win be taken then
to the court Of appeals.
