He Dug His Own Grave.

Something unique in mortuary
matters occurred recently in Mccall
mont township, Pa. Solomon Hines,
an old citizen, who spent most of his
time in the woods with dog and gun,
became alarmed about two weeks
ago on account of the prevalence of
typhoid fever. One of his old neigh
bors succumbed to the disease, and
old Hines made up his mind his turn
would come next. He accordingly
took mattock and shovel, selected a
spot on his farm which he thought
suitable for his final resting place,
and proceeded to dig his grave both
wide and deep. After this, he talked
in a nonchalant manner about his
obsequies, saying in his drawing way
he really would have preferred tolive
a little longer, because, as he ex-
pressed it, "a man has such gol
DANCED long time to be dead" As
Hines was an exceedingly robust
man, his neighbors laughed at his
eccentricities and whispered that" Sol
Hines was getting a little out of his
head" But in the course of week
Hines was down with typhoid fever,
and when the doctor came he said:
There amt no use in running up
doctor bill when man knows he's
goin' to die" and not a morsel OF
medicine would he permit to pass his
lips. In few days more he was
dead, and his body now rests in the
grave he prepared.

time in filling any vacancy that may
occur where he has the power of APP

he falls over himself in his haste to
get his own personal friends in the
Offices. The Governor is nothing if

HENRY w. GRADY, the brilliant
southern orator and editor of the
Atlanta Constitution, died at his home
in Atlanta, Georgia, on Monday
morning. His last sickness was
pneumonia, resulting from exposure
in Boston couple of weeks ago.
The death of Mr.. Grady cannot be
regarded otherwise than as a calami-
ty to the South, whose earnest advo-
cate and defender he at all times was.
The entire country, North as well as
as South, mourns his untimely end,
and many prominent men have pub
licly expressed their sorrow. Con-
gresham p. A. Collins, of Boston,
says he regarded Mr.. Grady as the
most brilliant man in the United
States.

The first contested election cases to
be considered by the House of Rep
resetatives are those from West
Virginia. A Republican House may
be trusted to give the contestants
the justice denied them by their own
State.-HagerstOton Herald
IN other words, a Republican
House may be safely trusted to turn
out by hook or crook every Demo
crat whose seat is contested. But
please do not call that sort bipartisan
ship by the name of Justice"

If there is any subject upon which
the average Democrat can pirate
glibly it is that of tariff reform, the
word tariff, meaning tax in the
party vocabulary. The sincerity of
the party will be tested when vote
is reached upon bill introduced last
week in the House to repeal the tax
on tobacco in every form. The bill is
based upon Republican doctrine but
1t could not be otherwise because it is
great step in the direction of genu-
inc, practical tax reform. "-Hagers-
foicn Herald.
THE reform" wanted by the Re-
publicans is to take the taxes off of
tobacco and whiskey and make them
free. The Democrats propose to take
the taxes off of the clothing a man
wears, the tools and implements with
which he may pursue his calling in
life, the common articles of everyday
use in his household or business
place, and of the very necessities of
life. There's a great difference be-
tween Republican reform and Demo-
cratic reform.
