STILL ON THE GO.

Looking for . .Statc Where Ono Can 1.-Two
 Without Hard Work.
 A gentleman riding over tho Western prairies met dilapidated ''prairie schooner' drawn by pair of bony and hol- low-eyed oxen. A ragged, uncouth man, and 0 woman of equally unattraotive ap- pearance, with a fretful and untidy baby In her arms, occupied the front seat, while the rear part of the wagon did not seem to contain any thing but ragged, dirty children of all ages and sizes.
 The man brought the oxen to standstul and thus, according to the Youths Cbrh- panion, accosted the traveller:
 "Gotany terbacker, misterT ::
 "No, I never use it."
 "You don'ta We'll, wonder how in ere ation feller kin git along 'thout terbacker. Are you travelin', or j'st goin' some where2"
 The traveller, not unwilling to have little conversation with this queer specimen of humanity, had refined in his horse and said: "I am going to the next town. Where are you bound7"
 "Well, don't 'zactly knows just where we will settle down. Where'd you come from7"
 ''From Kansas" '.How's times out therc"
 "very good"
 "Any chance for feller to mako a Hv- ingl"
 /! "Oh, yes; plenty of chance" "What att" asked the man, eagerly.
 "At hard work"
 This reply evidently dampened the mans ardor.
 I 'Some kin stand hard york;" he said, ''and some can't. Idop't b'lieve In feller maldn' Q slave O hisself. That's why left Iowav and Ohio and IllinoyH 'What do you want to do for living" "Well, don't 'zactly know"
 "And you've no idea where you will To- catei"
 . "No, dunno as hey; but I'm willing to stop in any place where times is good an' kin git along" .. |; He is probably wandering still, be and his family, adding to that great and widely. scattered army of people who never ''gli nlong' in any country.

Nobody visits Lake Pennesseewassee. the) prettiest point In Oxford County. without going to see Miss Emma Smiths natural writes New York Sun cor The young lady is the posi- sessor of Tanglewood, picturesque cottage; on the western shore of the pond, one of many built in recont years on the shores and islands, whero merry parties from ad- jacent towns And summer recreation. She spends the season at Tanglewood cottage, and takes pleasure in entertaining the gifls of her circle and in cultivating this rather remarkable aquarium.
 The aquarium had Bmall beginning, but 1t has become great. This Is the third season of her cottage life, and che noticed at the beginning that the sun6sh, chpes and horned trout liked to loaf around tho little dock. They were carefully encohre aged to come by liberal donations of crumbS and food scraps, until this year the nuhhk attracted to the iandinR resohes pp into the hundreds. After every meal MdAs Smith with an amount of splashink worthy o9 !, lot of sharks, and scramble for tho dfQtnts like a lot of small boys after ooppafa. 1saF. ly all will eat from the hand fwe, or three have been educated to est from epoop, and these fAvor6A ones get luxuriAs. Two or three qkore have become sufficiently reckless to allow themselves to be picked np by the 1s1r hands of Miss Maud Allen, feaflesb young lady of Boston, who rewards each ono kS feeding 1t with beans from 8 spoon. Tho latest experiment. tried on the hsh was to test their taste for ice-cream. They fought A> nk tsn1p fvSfu 0$t . couple of tastes. Chocolate cream seemS to hit horned trout right where be lives. A horned trout's greatest joy Ia found to be in eating ginger snaps. He doesn't n{e ble, he bites. When small Mss VirRie | Sargent, the seyen-year-old belle of the cottage, pokes ginger snap lnto the watei the trout will take bite out of 1t equal te any thing Miss Virgie could do in the same line.
 While feeling tender toward beans. ice ana Sav % sns Sea are % mouths at any thing. One young man whe saw them perform recently filled them uI full with wads of tissue paper artfully rolled up, and was properly denounced fol doing 1t. The fish didn't mind.
 The trout are in the majority in the col lection, chubs come next, and sunflsh las in order of numbers and boldness. Sofn' of the chubs are foot long, and this is thu average length of the trout. The latter arr getting horribly obese and roll arount weightily. They occasionally try to go of with pink finger belonging to one of thei hosts, and slide away, looking up reproach fully from the clear depths when the. learn that it can't be had.
 The lordly black bass and pickerel, witt which the pond is stocked, refuse to be be guiled into accepting this profuse hospital ity. They are all invited.

STRAY SOCIETY NOTES.

A SOCIETY lady of East Liverpool, O., putss her pet poodle dog's hair up in curl papers, every night.
 THE fashion of women wearing the singl& eye-glass has been started in London. It is, chiefly affected by theatrical people.
 A MANIA for monograms now pervades London. They figure everywhere-on win, dow curtains, portieres, carriage rugs, furS niture and drinking glasses, and even olS jewelry. t
 No MORE surprising change has been an! nounced lately than the rejection of the, pointed toe by English boot-makers, of course in deference to the demand of higheT
 authority. With 1t will go the high heel. !
 THE ice-cream terror is reported to have
 given place to new and even more formid-i
 able obstacle to the happiness of young men!
 at the summer resorts. It is all the stylei
 now for young gallants to buy little balloonsl to match their young ladies' dresses. IT Is now nearly forty years since thei fashion of fastening dresses in front came, in, and it was then felt to be an immense: convenience and relief, as it enabled ladies, to be independent in the matter of dressing themselves. Now a withdrawal of this inn proyement is threatened and the closing of dresses in the back is said to be fast gaining ground. ONE of the latest social innovations, says an English provincial paper, Is the female l butler, a parlor-maid in livery. A good | looking girl in livery of dark blue, green and gold, or scarlet and white looks very | smart, and the waiting is, as rule, done more quietly and deftly than by man. This opens out new field of employment for women.
 Ar a german at hotel at York, Me-, ! there were six figures in all, five of which | were favor figures. One of them was par | ticularly striking. Behind the screen stood ! four gentlemen, and in front of each was 8 slot in the screen through which four ladies, taking their place at hazard, dropped a
 nickel. The gentleman danced with the
 young lady who dropped the nickel in the | slot opposite him.

IT STOOD THE TEST.
How Q Deaf and Blind Woman Succeeded
 In Making Q Win.

How Q Deaf and Blind Woman Succeeded
 in Making Q WILL
 One of the most striking scenes in fiction Is that wherein the paralytio in "Monte Oristo'' makes legal disposition of his property by the movement of his eyes. In Q blue book recently published concerning the deaf and dumb, there Is an account of the making of will by woman who, hav- Ing been stone deaf all her life, became, when sixty years old, blind also. The place was country town, Ludlow, in Shropshire, and the mayor, the rector and the chief medical men were all present to witness that every thing was done above board and without collision.
 IA copy of the will lay before the deaf blind lady and myself, and another copy was before the gentleman sitting in the seat corresponding with your lordships," said 8 witness in the case when 1t was before the courts. '1 began spelling on her hand with perfect silence one sentence. She turned to the lady on her right and spelt on both her hands the sentence that had just repeated to her. That lady, having nothing before her, repeated aloud what presume bly had said to the blind lady, and what certainly the blind lady had said to her; and the official gentlemen at the other end saw that they were actually the very words in the will before them"
 "So it went on. She stopped me in one place and said, mot thousand, 8 hundred, showing that she knew the value of numer- als; and she willed away the whole of her property with perfect accuracy. She left @ portion of it to the very persons who had desired to keep it from her, and they were her blood relations. She left 910O to the institution whose head master helped her to make such will. That was the last time that saw her. The will was con- tested by the relations. When it came to be tested they said nobody in such con- dition as that could make will. We fought the battle in the probate court Rt West. minister and won. The will was proved May 8, 1S61."

NOW FOR GOOD CANDIDATES.


 Now that the primaries have passed off to the satisfaction of all concerned, 1t would be we'll if the delegates from the various wards would give earnest attention to the candidates that are to be named for the various places on the town, city and school tickets. Good men, men who have the confidence of the party and the respect of the citizens generally, should be selected, in order that there may be no loophole for dis satisfaction or dissension on election day. The affairs of the city, town and school district have been in competent hands so far as they have been entrusted to democrats, and the party must see to it that there is no retrogression from the high standard of capacity that has hitherto been shown in their administra- tion. Offices now held by republicans should be regained and faithful and able democrats chosen to man them. The selectmen's and town clerks offices, which are now filled " ACPuUlACduS, SuOulu De manned by democrats. Not that the gentlemen who manage the affairs of these offices are not worthy persons, competent, courteous and conscientious, or that they lack the confidence, respect and good will of their fellow citizens gener- ally without respect to party. It is not that we love these excellent gentlemen the less, but that we love democracy and democrats the more, that we urge the party to put forward good men for the places and then rally to their SUD- port and elect them. The DEMOCRAT has no candidates for any offices to urge on the party, but merely expresses the hope that the delegates to the various conventions will have strong, influential and competent men. The party will do the rest.
 Good men and true, sterling demo- crats and honorable citizens, are all the party wants; with them the democracy will register victory at the polls no less glorious and splendid in it's proportions than the one it rolled up last November for Grover Cleveland and tariff reform.
