Panic Created by the Singing Insects

There was n funny occurrence last
fan at Baltimore. A sailor on an oyster
pungy, which had been cruising about
the oyster grounds off Mogothy River
landed with MISUNDERSTANDING
watermelon under his right arm. The
mariner entered a nearby saloon and
laid the piece of fruit down.
1t being little late in the season foi
melons crowd gathered around to look
at the sailors find, and several of them
emphatically expressed doubts as to the
soundness of the melon. The sailor, I'M
nocent of what was inside it, said. to
prove the melon was in good shape, he
would plug it before carrying it to his
best girl, to whom he intended to pre-
sent IL lie did so, and upon extracting
a piece of the rind about 100 wasps few
out and made things lively about the
place.
It seems that the melon was some
what overripe, and while lying neglected
in its bed family of wasps had bored a
small hole in one end of it and taken up
their abode therein. The man who
brought it to town rushed out of the
place with several of the insects settling
down upon his face, and in his hurry he
knocked over an italian fruit stand. fell
on cat, which was nearly crushed to
death, and nearly knocked two police
men into the dock. The restaurant man
put out his gas and left his dogs to fight

Organize, Educate, Agitate Should BE the
WatchwOrds of the Day.
Some men, and good, earnest men,
too, think they are doing nothing I'M
less they are organizing political
party. In consequence during the last
ten or fifteen years there have been or
ganized more parties perhaps than
could be counted on ones fingers and
toes Usually a very brief time has
elapsed between their birth and burial,
but they afforded few individuals the
pleasure of having ''organized party"
We can not say we have any objection
to this. The more parties that are or
ganized, we suppose, there will be the
more independence among the people,
But we are anxious for the time to
come when the reform element, the in
dependent element, will stand together
in one grand body, and rebuke cor
rpption, destroy wrong, and save the
nation TO the principles of true repub-
licanism which shall recognize equal
rights for all. How can this best be ac-
complished9 By organizing a party"
every full and change of the moon, or
by educating the people of all par
ties to sense of the wrongs that
have been .perpetrated in the name
of party, thus arousing them
to the necessity of action, and winning
them to the cause of reform? We take
it that the latter plan is best. You must
first break the idols of Baal before you
dare overthrow the temples. You must
convince the people of the righteous
ness of your cause before you can ex-
pect them to bow to your affairs. We
would rather have the great mass of
the voters independent and without a
party than to have an independent party
without voters.
Hence we say: Go ahead, gentlemen.
Organize all the parties you wish to,
but for US, we prefer to play John the
Baptist and prepare the coming of the
Lord, for that mighty host of nom
partisan voters which shall swallow up
all the parties you are organizing. tear
down the affairs of prejudice and hate,
usher in the reign of right and justice,
and save the country from the evils
that now threaten it. Listen! 1t is
coming. When the people are ready
for party, it will need no organizing.
It will come, and it will come to vic
