Habbakuk Wanted to be =5anctifled,
From, the Boston, T'rnnScrint


Another story that goes back to the same
meetin' house in Wrentham is one Of a worthy
man named Habbakuk P q resident of the
town, and a faithful attendant upon worship
who had been blessed with four wives one after
another. Habbakuk was rigidly orthodox, as
his name seemed to demand, and was always in
his pew on the Sabbath He sat there ia his
conspicuous pew with No. by his side, on the
first Sunday morning after their marriage 1t
was balmy June day, and the zephyrs from
the open window toyed playfuUy with the
brides white satin bonnet ribbons and the
groom's silken locks. There was a stranger in
the pulpit, who had exchanged for the day
with the venerable Mr.. F., the pastor of Thu
church Aft r reading a few Scripture passages
the stranger proceeded to read a notice which
he had found in the Bible, and which was as
follows:
Mr. Habbakuk P, desires the PRAYERS
of the congregation, that the death of his wife
may be Sanctified to him for his spiritual
good"
Then, while the congregation was between
stupefaction and explosion, the clergymanwent
ON with the services at a rapid rate He was at
a loss to know why the congregation seemed to
be throughout the remainder of the services on
the point of laughter but at dinner Mrs F..
the pastors wife, explained to him that Hab-
bakuk p sat three rows from the front in
the broad aisle with his brand new wife and he
had read an old notice that Mr. r had
pro bably been using for a book-mark ever
since the death of wife No, g.

Getting Relief.

From the Nashville american tDent)
No one can blame Chicago newspapers for
turning their attention occasionally TO southern

OF that tough old town it must be great relief
to look away off somewhere and observe the
milder vices of better people.

The difference between the perversion Of
the ballot north aud south seems to be this:
tnat in the south it is treated as POLITICAL and
IN the north as natural and inevitable. The
northern orator harps the few instances or

numerous instances in his own section.

The Ocala Exposition.

The people Of Ocala are sparing no efforts
to make their exposition a success. They
are rot only working earnestly. but they
are spending money freely in its behalf, and
the people of Marion county, outside of
Ooala, are just as enthusiastic over the ex-
position as the people of Ocala. They are
leaving no stone unturned to insure its sue
cess.
The broad avenue leading to the exposi-
ton grounds has been handsomely graded
| and paved. The exposition buildings, which
would be credit to city ten times the
size Of Ocala, present very attractive APP
pesrance They are very com'modious, and
are arranged SO as to display the exhibits TO
| the greatest advantage
The display of the farm, garden and
orchard is highly creditable one. Indeed,
it is doubtful if it could be surpassed in any
part Of the country, and the industrial de-
partments are not neglected They show
that Floridas wealth does not all come from
her soil
The meeting of the Pathological Society
of the United States next week will be an
event that will attract a large number of
people to Ocala, in addition to those whose
chief object is to visit the exposition. In
fact, the exposition is well attended because
it is well worth seeing Ocala is the center
of attraction in Florida at present, and her
visitors are well pleased with the entertain
ment she offers them.
Supt. Murray has made a report on the
work of the New York police during the re-
cent street car strike in that city, and he
praises them very highly. He thinks they
can take care Of New York. There is an
impression all over the country that New
York has an excellent police force, and the
impression could hardly have been formed
unless there was some basis for it. While
Supt Murray praises the police, however.
he says New York is very oldAfashioned in
the matter Of police auxilisries, such as
telegraph and telephone communication,
patrol wagons, etc. He thinks the patrol
wagons adopted recently are not only I'M
serviceable, but are positively dangerous.
The other day it was stated in a New
York newspaper that Mr.. Blaine had said

The people of New York do not have that
profound respect for their legislature they
ought. If their newspapers express their
sentiments they believe there are a good
many rogues among their legislators.
Indeed some of the members of the legis-
lature seem to be ashamed of their connec-
ton with that body. One of them said on
the floor of the House the other day that he
was no longer proud of his position as
legislator.
Ths New York legislature has not en-
joyed an enviable reputation for integrity
for years. A good many of its members
seem to be always looking out for a job of
some kind or another out of which to make
money. An effort is now being made to
find out who got about 100000 out of a
little transaction in which the state is inter
ested. The legislature last winter author
lied the stone ceiling of the hall of the
House to be replaced with one of steel and
oak, because the stone ceiling had become
dangerous. When the House met this win
ter it was found that plaster # Paris cell
ing, instead of one of oak, had been put in
place Of the stone one, and thai somebody
had pocketed a big sum of money.
A committee was authorized to investi-
gate the matter, and on Tuesday it was
stated in the newspapers that a bride of
s., 600 had been offered to member of the
committee to sign withdrawing report
The member referred to admitted that an
attempt had been made to bride him, but
he refused to give the name of the briber,
and the House declined to order an invest-
cation # his statement
The legislatures in the south during car
pet-bag rule were very corrupt bodies, but
it is doubtful if they were more corrupt
than the New York legislature is. 1t is not
to be wondered at that there are members
of it who are ashamed to admit their con-
nection with 1t. Cannot the people of New
York find men to represent them
whose integrity is unquestionable9 What
a sad condition of affairs it is when
it becomes necessary to question the integ-
rity of legislators who themselves are en-
gagged in investigating the integrity of
othersl The New York capitol has cost a
mint OF money, but it is quite safe to say
that ali of it was not spent upon the build
ing Doubtless good many men who have
been members Of the legislature could tell
what became of great deal of that which
was not spent upon the building
