It is one of the things about men, you
never can find them where you left them,
and if | left Joe as mild as May morn
inc, as YOU might say, found him like a
Dakota blizzard.
He commenced with his breakfast by
saving he wouldn't eat It, and wanted 10
know why in-Jerusalem the cook
couldn't be taught to cook like some
thing
Then he sent way down town for some
mutton outlets with mushrooms. and they
were the nastiest looking things, and II
we had cooked them Joe would nave
called them all sores of names.
Then said the house smelled so of cook
ing it made him sick; and he said some
one had carried off his morning paper,
and after he had hunted all around. and
I'd sent the second girl out after one, he
found he was sitting on It
Then every girl that entered the house
afterward he insisted upon it was laugh
ing at him about it, and he wouldn't let
them come to his room at all, for he said
they were all female blabS. "
All the boys that came in he called
"cheap dudes" and "ninny- hammers !"
and ma and i couldn't speak out loud be-
cause it rasped him so.
If we whispered he said that we were
talking about him, and if we didn't speak
at all he said that the house was like
tomb, and he insisted on taking double
the quantity of medicine the doctor left
so he could get out twice as quick,
suppose.
Then he made both the girls mad max.
ing remarks about them in loud tone OF
voice, and he confused me so that l got
all the liniment upon his toe; and sup
pose, of course, did hurt him for he got
up quick, and then sat down again SO
quick he tore my Arasene tidy all TO
pieces.
Then he said he'd like me a good deal
better if l were out in the hall, and l just
went out and sat down by the window as
de ected, till l saw one of Joe's friends
going by-a regular old fuss. just as he is
and l ran down to the door and begged
him to come in.

minutes you actually would have thought
Joe was purring. he was so happy; and
just listened to see what could satisfy
man, and all l could hear was New
York Central, Pacific Mail, Margin,
"Loan, per Cent. " Daisy, Fine
Form, " DRY Monopole, and lots of
other stuff, and | don't see that men talk
any more sensible than girls if that is the
way they go on.

Newspaper Iteration.

Every journalist knows what persistent
iteration, what repeated, well aimed

required TO hammer an idea into the public
mind, and how impossible it is to extract
an idea once well driven in. But mere
newspaper iteration fails for two ohViouS
reasons The best utterances of a nartv
journal seldom reach its opponents. and
are taken at heavy and often exagger-
ated discount even by its readers.

THE SUN of to-day dives into Connect cut politics with the recklessness of des- pair. It tries to explain how Cleveland carried the state in 1884 and makes 8 'tbull' of it. In the first place, says the Sun, s'though MT Cleveland had in Con- necticut a plurality of 1,276, the combined vote of the prohibition and labor presiden- tial candidates was 4,00O, so that he was actually in minority of 2,7OO." By what mathematical rule the Sun solves the prob lem to arrive at this conclusion, we don't know. We suppose, however, that it takes it for granted that the prohibition and labor votes were secured from the ranks of the republican party. Anyone acquainted with Connecticut politics knows how ridiculous such claim is. It is certain that the labor vote rightfully be- longed to the democratic party, and a good part of the prohibition vote also. Next fall there will be no labor ticket in the field, so we are informed, and Cleve- lands majority in the state, should he be renominated, will be 2,000, or over. The Sun had better send man up here to take lesson in Connecticut politics.

Two Republican Congregationalists who

 The coming campaign recalls story that was told in the lobby at the capitol during the session of the last legislatute. It was to the effect that N D. Sperry and Judge Lucius P. Deming of New Haven went to Ridgefeld few years ago to attend a political meeting. They were invited to stop at MT Lounsburys house and accept ed the opportunity to partake of his hos pitality. Both Sperry and Deming are Congregationalists, and when the house. hold arose in the morning the governor as- sembled everybody in the parlor for morn ing prayers. As mark of respect to MT Sperry he called upon that gentleman to offer prayer. Mr Sperry was not accus- toned to have honors of this kind heaped upon him, and besides he had not made preparation for an event of this kind and he adroitly managed to shift the responsi bility on the shoulders of Judge Dening. That staid and dignifed official was in the same boat with his companion and frank ly acknowledged his inability to invoke heavenly blessings. As result MT Louns- bury was obliged to offer prayer himself.

THE news that the Tory government has again arrested William O'Brien for exercis ing the right of public discussion which is the privilege of all citizens, and certainly not to be denied to members of parliament, will excite sympathy and indignation among friends of liberty throughout the world. The occurrence that is made the foundation of the present charge is the ad dress delivered at Loughrea at the meeting of the 8th inst. On that occasion MI O'Brien offered to submit to technical ar rest to make 8 test case, but the govern ment officials refused and broke up the as semblage with brutality and violence Having taken one course on that occasion they now resort to another, pursuant te bloody Balfour's policy of reducing the number of his opponents by incarceration and slow torture in the dungeons which ht keeps crowded with prisoners of state.

One medical opinion says helcan't live, and an other all but assures us it is impossible for him to die. Between all the reports it is difficult to surmise what is the actual con- dition of affairs; and this position is brought about by the very intensity of the interest that surrounds Emperor Freder- ick's existence.
