The mBndamus case sometimes pro-
nounced with transposition of the syl
lables, excited more talk during its argu.
ment than it is exciting at the present
time. young Republican, desiring to
test the Democratic sentiments of a
friend, read TO him Mr.. Bates's speech as
IL given by one OF the Republican eoun-
sci. The Democrat could not find enough
words to express his sentiments, said 1t
was all a lie. that when the other side spoke
il would knock that Republican speech
out. etc. When the reader had concluded
he told his listener that he had heard q
Democratic speech The listener was so
thoroughly trapped that he spake not.
This incident illustrates the fact that
Democrats are for Democrats because
they are Democrats: that Republicans
are Republicans because they are Repub
licans.

chase of dry goods, hat or cloak

Victim after victim is slain in New York city by contact with electric charged wires. Generally it is an employee of the electric light companies, but frequently g wire falls within reach of some one, and of course finds it's victim. The latest horror was the death of lineman one day last week in full view of horror stricken crowd. A correspondent writes to The Press under date of Oct. 12th:
 "New York has witnessed good many deaths by electric wires. The one yester- day, at corner of Center and Chamber streets, horrifes every one, and has star tied the people to such an extent that it means down with the electric wire. The police have fastened to the pole a large tin can, with a slot in top and appropriate notice for its purpose. At noon today il was half full of coins and bills for the sui. fering wife and fatherless children. The street is crowded, and continual streams oi half dimes, dimes, and so up to bills, are pouring in constantly. By night the boz will no doubt be full. The can will meas ure about 8 by 15. Deep interest is taken by the people, old and young, rich and poor adding to the amount. A policeman stands guard over it, and the wish is loud ly expressed to fill the can, and put uI another Let the good work go on.

THE DRUNKARD's PRAYER.-A clergy man, in the Advance, tells how a pastor got tired of continually praying with a man addicted to drink. So at last he went to the man, read some Bible denunciations of the drupkard, and got up to leave. -'Aren't you going to pray with me ?" ask. ed the man, meekly. ''No," replied the minister, ''I don't think you need prayers. I have prayed with you again and again, and you get drunk just as much as ever. sWell," said the man, s'if you won't pray for me, "I will pray myself" And he prayed. His prayer was "Oh, Lord
 Thou knowest that am apoor, miserable Fsinner; Thou knowest that'I am poor miserable drunkard i; oh, yes, Lord, Thor knowest that am d. d fool" Aftel such confession, I am sure that this gooe minister could not refuse his request. ;

Philadelphia Record One of the most charming manifestations of re-established comity between the north and south is noted in Springfield letter to Forest and Stream. The writer says that 'sfor two successive years pair or two of real south ern mocking- birds have bred across the river in West Springfield. The editor of the Hartford Times, who is careful and loving observer of bird habits, says that a few years ago two pairs of hooking birds nestled in the suburbs of that town, though they seldom go farther north than Mary
 land and southern New Jersey. The mocking-bird is undoubtedly one of the finest songsters of all the feathery tribe 1T America and if he should show any dis
 position to push the limit of his summer outing farther northward he should be en
 couraged. If his song is to rejoice us, hi going and coming should be free and un molested

In its account of the czar's visit to Ber- lin the Now York Times cable dispatch says: William, rapping on the table for silence and speaking German in loud, elsax voice, proposed the health of the august visitor, referring to the traditional friondship between their two houses, which he was resolved to further cultivate. The czar rose and indistinctly mumbled in a low voice that he was much obliged for the kindness of his reception, and gladly drank the health of his host and hostess in re- tusn. He had finished and sat down be- fore the listeners wholly comprebended that he was speaking in French, which language has been publicly ostracised in the court circles of Berlin since William's s accession. Swift upon this came realiza- ton that he hadn't said 6 word about friendship, or wish for peace or anything else which could be tortured into political Rraciousness. One of the guests said af- terward that the effect of this speech was that of cold draught suddenly passing through . room. That both the manner and medium of the speech were deliberate. ly chosen cannot be doubted. The cza1 has big voice as rule, and all day long had been talking German fuently with William and Bismarck. The fact that he said nothing in his one public utterance in Berlin, and chose French as the language 10 say 1t in, will, need not say, be invest. cd with enormous importance in Paris, One other incident is noted by the chron- icaegs. The czar wore his sabre during tho dinner, which is g custom unheard ot in Berlin palaces.
