Humors of the Stump.

From the Louisville Coui1er-J Journal.
few nights since Col. o. c. King of this
place delivered an excellent speech before the
Morristown Cleveland and Thurman Club. To
illustrate the fallacy of the republican charge
that the democrats are free traders, because
they want to reduce the tariff, he told the fol-
lowing anecdote of the doctors experience with
his patient. Uncle Lem Austin
But, the republican orators say, the demo-
cratic policy OF reducing the tariff is a step
toward free trade; we are opposed to free trade,
and therefore oppose anything that tends in
teat direction"
This sort of talk reminds me of old Uncle
Lem Austns excuse for declining to reduce the
number of drinks ne was taking daily.
Uncle Lem had been free drinker for long
time. At last it began TO tell on him. He be-
came sick and sent for the doctor.
The doctor came. examined him, inquired as
to his symptoms, felt his pulse, looked at his
tongue, sounded his chest, etc.
Having, as supposed, suitably impressed the
old man, he said: Uncle Lem, am afraid you
are drinking too much whisky, and 1t is proper
that should say to you that your trouble is
caused almost solely by the excessive use Of in
toxicants."
The old man did not seem to be at all sur.
prised, but replied promptly: We'll, Doc,
wouldn't be surprised If you want more'n half
right bout that"
"How much do you drink day, Uncle Lem,'
well don't hardly know, Doc, )" replied the
old man. Let me see. / take a drink afore
breakfus' and one arter breakfus', and two
'twlXt breakfuS an dinner, and one afore
dinner, how many's tbatS"
Five" replied the doctor.
IAN one arter dinner"
six"
An two 'twixt dinner and supper"
Eight"
AN one afore supper"
Nine
An one arter supper"
Ten"
IAN two betwixt supper an bedtime"
Twelve" said the doctor
'Well, them's about my daily rashins, Doc"
That's too much liquor, Uncle Lem. You
can't stand it; it will kill you Now, ! suggest
that you ourtail the amount. IL won't do TO
quit off entirely. 1t would PROSTATE you. But
you could reduce the number Of drinks-say a
third. and after awhile another reduction. Now,
suppose you drop Off the two drinks between
breakfast aud dinner and the two between din
ner and supper at first aud begin the reforma-
ton in that wayy"
Uncle Lem held his head down and reflected
moment; then looking up and fixing his bleary
eyes on the doctor, said:
See here, Doc; blame my cats II don't sorty
bleeve you're one o. them prohbitioners, an
I'm agin prohibition. tooth and toe-nail. Now,

Here is a republican newspaper, the Pitts
burg Dispatch, which admits that the de-
lection of the colored voters from the re-
publican party in Indiana threatens to be
serious. In Evansville, it says, the negro
vote is giving the republicans great deal
of trouble. All along, there have been
signs of wavering on their part, but the re-
publicans paid but little attention to the
matter. When the republican county con-
vention rejected colorei man as its candi-
date for coroner the other day, the trouble
became aggravated, and a number of col
ored voters Joined the Democratic party.
Yesterday afternoon a colored Democratic
rally was expected to take place in that
city. Coming from a republican source,
these statements are significant.

Mr.. Thurman's speeches in Indiana were
as good as those delivered by him in Michi-
gan some weeks ago, and that is saying a
great deal. 1t is not strange that repub-
licans in Indiana should fear their effect,
but the conduct Of County Clerk Bowlus, of
indianapolis, in refusing to allow Mr.. Thur
man to speak in Tomlinson hall, which will
seat 5000 people, deserves to be condemned
very severely. The hall was built by both
democrats and republicans. Mr.. Bowlus
gave as an excuse for not allowing it to be
used for Thurman meeting that it had
been engaged for republican meeting, but
the fact that no republican meeting was
held in it shows that he was actuated by
partisan feelings Mr.. Thurman had to
speak in hall which seats only 3 1000 people.

A Surprise.
From the Boston transcript.


It was in the days when hotels were not
numerous, and boarding houses were resorted
to by those who had occasion to make BRIEF
stays in our minor towns. The hero of this
story had to rise early to get the o'clock stage
coach. Leaving his room by the wrong door
he found himself in bare apartment. The
candle he carried threw a dim light over
large, square, shallow wooden box, that stood
on trestles in the center of the room. He
paused to look at the strange box and as he
did so, he noticed that the bolt of the staple
lay upon the floor Prompted by curiosity, he
lifted the hinged lid and peeped within. There
was nothing but an expanse of gray blanket
He passed his hand over the surface of the
blanket. Something beneath it shuddered
Lifting the nearest corner he found with horror
that it covered an immense serpent. He shut
the box with crash, but had presence of mind
enough to pass the bolt through the staple, and
left the house without further tarrying. The
menagerie was too near the house to be anus
ing. subsequently he learned that the son of
the proprietor of the house had brought home
an anaconda from South America on specula-
ton. The narrator lived to be an old maui but
never forgot the sensation of sickening thrill
that came to him when he felt the shudder be.

She Did it with Her Zoe.

Mrs. Margaret Fox Kane says that she
originated spiritualism, and that 81 did it
mainly with her big toe. At the academy
of music, in New York, on Sunday night.
she not only told the vast audience gathered
there TO hear her expose sp,ritualism, how
she made the raps, but she showed them.
Mrs. Kane was one of several sisters who.
many years ago, created a profound sensa-
ton by claiming to converse with spirits.
They held seances, and convinced thousands
that they were not frauds. The rappings
of the spirits, when called upon by these
sisters, were regarded as something mar
velous
On Sunday night Mrs Kane declared
that spiritualism was a fraud, and that she
was heartily ashamed of the part she had
taken in deceiving people, aud getting their
money by fraudulent means. She is now
getting the peoples money by showing
them how she fooled them. She stood upon
table in front Of the great audience and,
with one of her big toes, produced rappings
which were distinctly heard in all parts OF
the hall. She submitted TO tests that left no
doubt that she was acting honestly.
Other tricks of the spiritualists. such as
writing messages on a slate. mind reading
and producing oil paintings, were explained.
1t is remarkable that so many people
should have been deceived into believing
in spiritualism, but it is more remarkable
that anybody should continue to believe in
it in the face of the numerous exposures of
it that have been made

GAS q Bell in a Chime.

From, the Century.
AS bell in a chime
Sets its twin-note- a-ringing,
AS one poets rhyme
Wakes another to singing,
So, once she has smiled.
All your thoughts are beguiled
And flowers and song from your childhood are
bringing
Though moving through sorrow
As the star through the night,
She needs not to borrow,
She lavishes, light,
The path of yon star
Seemeth dark but afar;
Like hers it Is sure, and like hers it is bright
Each grace is jewel
Would ransom the town,
Her speech has no cruel,
Her praise is renown;
It's in her as though Beauty,
Resigning to Duty
The scepter had still kept the purple and crown.

But the demon of unsatstied longing to have

The obvious deduction is that the sermons
not reported in the Tribune were not worth
hearing. Yet probably many of them were
as good as those reported, and all were
worth hearing The remark of the old
topper, that some whisky was better than
other, but that all Of it was good, applies
to sermons as well as to whisky.
