Mary'S Little Pup.

Atchison Globe.
Mary had little brute, as fat as it
could waddle, and everywhere that
Mary'd scoot, this little pup would
toddle. 1t tagged her down the street
one day, close up behind her buggy;
oh, how it loved to run away, this
naughty little PIGGY Twas always
doing something wrong when Mary
turned her back; and all the time he
seemed to long to walk the railroad
track. One day, when Mary was at
church, this risky little scamp
thought he would leave her in the
lurch and go and play the tramp. So
down upon the ties he trod, the one
the poor tramps use, till worn out on
the track he squats and drops into a
snooze. He, fast asleep, did not OBJ
serve-ah, sad indeed the story-the
fast express come around the curve;
that pup went up to glory. There
came along q butcher man who once
had loved that pup, and with a brush
and big dust,Ran he swept that poor
dog up. Nd '7ednesday Mary gOt

Two REPUBLICS, of the City of Mex
leo, is rather severe on the press of
Ell Paso, as appears from the follow
ing in connection with it's references
to Innocents' Day, last Saturday:
Saturday is Holy Innocents' Day,
a day which corresponds to April 1st
in the United States. Ell Paso fools
r ease take notice. This notice is nee
essary for the associated press agent
of that place this year, instead of kill

THE democratic Star, of New York,
makes a good point for Parnell in the
following anent the O'Shea scandal;
"The latest Tory assault upon Par
hell is universally regarded as evinc-
ing the desperation of losing cause.
Political opponents do not resort to
efforts to show that there are flaws in
the private life of a political idol until
thew have lost faith in their ability to
com bat him in fair fight in the politi-
N field"
X Parnell has survived the Times at
tack and all that led up to it and will
not be likely to fare any worse under
the O'Shea suit. Salisbury may have
la grippe, but he has lost his grip on
Parnell.
THE Globe-Democrat thinks that
Senator German, of Maryland, is the
best posted man on the political stu
uation in "My Maryland" of any
democrat in the state. The Globe
Democrat says:
Nobody will be surprised at the in
telligence that Senator German, of
Maryland, is opposed to the Australi-
an ballot. Hundreds of honest, intel
ligent democrats imagine that Mary
land could be held in the democratic
column even if reformed ballot
should be adopted, but Boss German
is not falling into any such error"
What with threatened registration
in New York and the Australian bal
lot in the south, matters look blue for
the democracy.

Says a Western paper: "The old

THE Luling..Signal says very truly:
"The'Slgnal does not uphold the ac-

to incite race riots in the south.n
Now you are shouting. Shout once
more and ask every democratic paper
in Texas to denounce all attempts by
white men to defraud the colored

lives of coIored men will be more sa-
credly protected. The ballot is the

WHAT KANSAS WILL SHOW.

IF Kansas should undertake to have
her exhibit at the worlds fair embrace
everything produced within her borders
and why shouldn't she:-no state in the
union, or an equal extent of territory in
any other country, will compare with
her in variety of articles, to say nothing
of the quality, for that is always conced-
ed to be superior All the domestic ami
mails and fowls and their multiform pro-
ducts; all the cereals and the numberless
commercial forms into which. they are
converted: silk, cotton and hemp and the
fabrics they constitute; nearly all the
metals, minerals and clay's known to
the industrial and commercial world;
salt in all its conditions and all the chem
zeal forms into which it is reduced; all
the fruits and vegetables known to the
temperate zone; sugar and honey and
many other things needful for the COM
fort and pleasure Of man, and all in every
form and condition in which they appear
in the markets Of the world, from the
crude and virgin state to the finished
product in the highest state ofperfection
to which the ingenuity Of man can
bring them, Will be Kansas exhibit to
present to the gaze of the wondering and
world.
Yes, it may be set down right now
that Kansas will take her place at the
head of the list when it comes to max
ing show down of what she produces,
both in quality, quantity and variety.

RAINFALLIN THE NEW NORTHWEST

of that region are now auxiously asking.
Hitherto the belief has been that it was.

there a number of years in succession
seemed to prove ii. Now. however.
drouths seem following one another
thick and fast. Il Is said there is now no
trace of hundreds of small lakes that
were marked on early maps of Dakota
and Minnesota. Doubtless many Of these
lakes existed in the splendid magma
ton of the gifted land agent. and no
where else.
But some Of them must have been
there. 1t is within the certain knOwl-
edge of the residents of the northwest
that lakes have dried up. and the ground
they occupied has been plowed for wheat
fields. In one oe two instances this fate

ANECDOTES ON SHERIDAN.

General Sheridan. during the few hours
of relaxation from duty while at Fort
Harker. would indulge in the game of
Don Pedro. of which he was very fond.
and when he succeeded in capturing the
jack he would whoOp and yell like a
schOOlboy playing base ball. Even the
enlisted men soon learned this fact. and
when in the quiet hours of night his
voice would be heard over the garrison.
the groups of soldiers on the outside of
their quarters would say to one another:
The general has caught another jack.
General Sheridan was one of the most
appproaChable of officers when on duty
vet he never swerved from that dignity
which begtted his exalted position. and
he was particularly kind to the rank and
file: their care and comfort he was as
Jealous of as his own
