his OPPoNKNF.

Tom August had as an opponent
on this occasion n foeman worthy Of
his steel. James @. Crane was the OPP
posing candidate. Both of them were
Wings. Crane was q man highly re-
spocted. lie had many friends and be was
q speaker Of no ordinary power. Colonel
August was much younger man, and nc
entered the arena with the full purpose TO
win. Perhaps there was never such con-
test in this city. The candidates spoke
everywhere and crowds focked to hear
them, and they were well pleased with
their arguments and the humorous remarks
which, in a good-natured manner. they
hurled at each other. Mr.. Crane told the
people that when he landed at Rockets
from Baltimore he had only shirt
upon his back. Tom replied that
when he came TO the State he was
worse of than Mr.. Crane: he did not have
even shirt. and surely, If nakedness was
an argument why they should vote for a
man, he ought 10 have their snTrages.
The election lasted three days, and after
the seYerest contest ever known in this
city Colonel August was successful. A
few years afterwards Colonel August. along
with James Lyons. Henry 4. Wise. aud some
other old-time Wings, left the Wing party
and became Democrats, and he remained
with that party until his death.

1t appears that not long ago teacher
In one OF tho schools for children set
them to writing compositions, of which
she herself was to DO tho subject; that
is, the scholars were told they might
write out their impressions OF their
teacher. One of these essays, Of pecu-
liar literary excellence for child,
driftod in some way into one of tho
brooklyn papers, which in its turn fell
into the hands Of 4 young dentist in
one OF tho growing towns in Montana.
The description of tho teachers charms

imagination that he was moved to write
Il letter. addressed TO hcr in caro- of tho
paper which published the composition.
In due time the letter reached her
hands. Sho answered it and a
brisk correspondence soon spranr
up. with an exchange of photographs
and condolences, which resulted in
tho formation of an engagement.
The marriage date was set, and
shortly before tho month containing
the wedding day arrived tho young den
tist received Il lottcr from his fianccc in
which she said that she had ono moro
important fact to reveal to him, name

her as being young woman of some
personal charms, She considered it only
frank to tell him that her beauty was
marrcd by very defective toeth, which,
she naively added could easily be re-
paired after their marriage without any
great expense.
Whether the young woman's physical
defect or her business enterprise de-
