s'I selected letter marked: Exhibit O. livery choice" and read: The twilight cometh softly down, As sinks the sun away, And little children go to bed
 All weary with their play.
 Where is my love this glorious eveg
 Where doth her proul foot rest!
 And where that head of golden hair
 Which shall ever bless.
 "And you say wrote thatl" whispered MT. Bowser.
 "You did. It's beautiful thing, too, I can see those little children going right to bed. You spoke ot my fhoofs' the other day, and you had slur about my red head. Only for years ago it was my proud foot and my golden head"
 He was silent.
 ''Do you want any more, MT. Bowserl" asked.
 Mrs. Bowser, don't say that you are not ss good as the average wife but I do say that you have a mighty mean trick streak in your composition. It may be pos sible that while lay burning with fever. or while suffering 8 nervous attack, I may have written 8 portion of those letters. The rest are base forgeries, of course, and you are holding them over me as menace. Is that wifely!"
 t'Why, Mr. Bowser, do you deny your own handwriting!'
 trI haven't seen the writing and don't want to. Don't threaten me. Mrs. Bowser, can be eoaxed, but not driven. Cases have been known where husbands walked out and never returned"
 But that was only his way of wriggling out of it. The next day he sent me up a new dress, took baby for long walk and at present is the most dooile husband in Detroit

The word roorback is not as old as the thing itself, but it has a respectable age. It first appeared in 1s44 when a fictitious story was published for purposes of political in- trigue, and which purported to be an extract from the travels of Baron Rocrback. The baron's name has thus become synonym for a campaign lie.

VOTE EARLY.

Those unacauainted with the manner in which work is done on election day do not understand the importance of voting early. It is a very important matter and we ask all our readers who intend to vote for Harrison and Morton to-day to do so as early as possible this morning. If the larger part of. the vote is cast early the workers then know what they must do in order to get out the rest ot the voters. Early voting is a great help to those who attend to the details of an election.

The Irish party have learned that the Land

But nobody knows yet who y coming from
America to bolster up the Times case. Mr..
Campbell, who is Mr.. Parnell's private secre-
tary, said yesterday that he understood that the
Times had five American witnesses, and gave an
emphatic denial to the reports circulated here
that Messrs. Egan and Dewey would be among
them, denial which was further confirmed by
the other Irish members in the case. Still, from
the stress laid by the encouragement on the
American connections of the League, it is evil
dent that he intends to produce what he be-
heves to be important testimony from that side
of the water. The court swarms with land
agents, constables and renegade clerks who
have come over here to give evidence.

duce. They consist, as in the case of the Times
documents, IN letters from MIR. Parnen. They
will purport to show that Mr.. Parnell did his
very best to deprecate and prevent outrages.
Lament, about which good deal of mystery
has been made, are those from Mr. Eagan to
Mr. Henry Labouchere in the handwriting of
Dick Pickett, who has been suspected by the
Irish members of writing the alleged Parnell
letters.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.
Effect of the Lord Sackville Correspond
ence-How the Betting Goes.

II is the almost acknowledgements opinion
that this canvass has excited an unusually
small degree of interest, or at least of agita-
ton, in Washington; but as the day Of election
approaches partisanship asserts itself, and
there is every indication Of lively time for the
next ten days. or late the Lord Sackville let
ter has been the chief topic Of political discus
sion. At first some democrats were undeniably
alarmed at the possible effect upon the Irish
vote. They thought, in the sensitive state of
Irish sentiment, another Burchard effect-this
time against the man who profited by the three
Rs-might be produced But this impression
seems to be dissipating. Now the democrats
talk more boldly about the letter. One promi-
nent leader remarked in connection with the
subject, I'm trust Cleveland to trump that
trick. He'll show them in time whether or not
British minister is competent to construe
the intents and purposes of his
administration" So far as the feeling
in Washington is made apparent. the
democrats are the more confident. This is
shown in the betting, for much as il is de-
rided in some quarters, betting is an evidence
OF the prevalent sentiment in politics. 1t is
not confined to sporting men" by any means.
Thousands of the best citizens staid men OF
every community, assert their political faith in
wagers ranging from hats and suits of clothes
up to large sums of money.
LOCAL BETTING.
There are bets of almost every description
offering on Cleveland to-day here in Washing
ton that find no takers. During the past week
Mr.. Michael Dwyer and Capt. VIM. NJ Conner
of New York, have been here with thousands OF
dollars to stake on the election of the demo.
cratic national ticket. The only transactions
they could arrange that amounted to anything
were bet of $1,000 to $50 and another OF
$500 to $3.50, the odds in both cases being given
by the Cleveland hackers. Dwyer made the
big bet with Mr.. Wall, the latter laying his S75C
on Harrison. Capt Connor put up the 500
on Cleveland, against $50 of Mr.. Godfrey's
money. Other New Workers brought money
here to bet on Cleveland, il having been ex.
tensively advertised that Mr.. Finley wanted
to back Harrison to the tune of go, 900, through
Lynn Wall, but the $4,000 was not forth.
coming.
Several evenings ago Messrs. Frank Ward and
W. w. Gould made a bet of S400 to $500, Ward
taking the Harrison end. A forfeit of $50 each
was put up, the remaining stakes to be placed
in the hands of the stakeholder according to
stipulation by 10 o'clock next morning. Before
that hour Mr.. Ward gave notice that he had
decided to surrender his forfeit. Mr.. David
Haggerty has $500 at his place on Pennsyl-
vania avenue to go up on Cleveland in sums OF
$50 or upward. There is also money still re
naming at Shoomaker's to back the democratic
ticket

filed suit-at-law against Frederick b. Nc
CURE and fourteen others, and the National
Fair Grounds Association to recover $4,000
damages, in consequence of the death of the
colt Paragon, because of the fracturing of the

vertisement he was induced to enter his colt,
valued at $4,000, for the races, and that while
the animal was being exercised on the track,
plaintiff being unaware that the track was in
an unsafe condition by reason of an opening or
hole, the colts foot caught in the hole and the
animal was thrown and its leg fractured, and il
was so much disabled that it was necessary to
kill it.

You Are Likely to Meet Him.

FROM the New York Graphic.
He was the most pleasant man you ever saw.
There was sunshine in his smile and his smile
was foreverybody. Just down there, at the
next corner, an old man was wrestling with
heavy burden which too much for him.
Our pleasant friend approached him eagerly,
and relieved the old man of his load carving
1t on his own strong shoulders. Surely the
angels in heaven do not fail to chronicle
deed like that and they must hear the words Of
gratitude poured upon the noble man by the
one he assisted. And now our smiling friend
pats youngster on the head and gives him q
stick Of candy, telling to be good and 20 TO
Sabbath school regularly, so that when he dies
he will be able to drop nickel in the slot and
get a crown. The boys heart is brimming over
with joy, and when he goes home he tells his
father all about the gentleman who was so kind
to him. This magnificent man grasps the toll
hardened hand of the lsborer and breathes
words of encouragement. he goes down into
the squalor and gloom Of the alleys carrying
sunshine and gladness there. He is trying 20
improve the condition Of his fellow-man and 10
make the world more popular as a place in
which to make your permanent existence.
Who is he? A missionary? A philanthropist2
Not exactly; he is a candidate, and he is about
as prevalent in this part of the country Just
