REPUBLICAN, CLUB.


A Republican Club will soon be or
gained in this city and 1t is beyond
question the duty of every Republican
to become member, rs it will greatly
facilitate the power OF the party in the
city. and tend to stimulate it, by CO.
he sive action, thing necessary through
out the country if not so absolute in the
city. Another thing to be taken into
consideration. is. that lunity in the
ranks of the party in the county seat
will prove great blessing. in as much
as it will enable the party to take hold
of and battle with any unforeseen diff
culties that may rise during the presi-
dental campaign. The old maxim.
that two heads are better than one has
proven itself to be true in so many
instances, it is beyond doubt that three
would be better than two, and that two
or three hundred would be far better
still. consequently it is right to presume
that about that number Of honest, con-
scientious Republicans working together
harmonlously in one grand cause would
be capable of producing grand results
Let every Republican Join.

Breaking Up a witness.

In no way can barristers better display
their acuteness than by seeing at glance
the character of the witnesses they are
about to examine and by treating them
accordingly. Erskine was famous al
this. In case in which he was en-
gagged commercial traveller came int
the witness box dressed in the height of
fashion and wearing starched white
necktie folded in the Brummel fold. IL,
an instant Erskine knew his man, though
he had never seen him before, and said
to him, with an air of careless amuse-
ment, "You were born and bred in Man
chester, perceive" Greatly aston
ished at this opening remark, the man
admitted that he was. Exactly" OBJ
served the great cross examiner, in a
conversational tone; Il knew it from
the absurd tie of your neckcloth."
The roars of aughter-coming from
every person in the court, with the sim
gle exception of the unfortunate witness
which followed this rejoinder COM
pletely effected Erskine's purpose, which
was to put the witness in state of agi-
tation and confusion before touching on
the facts concerning which he had come
to give evidence.-London Illustrated
News.

Lepers Proof Against Electricity.


"Down at Honolulu" said Harry Dia-
mond, II had a battery and worked the
innocent Kanakas with the old trick of the
five dollar gold piece. That is, I'd place
the piece in the bottom of jar of water
connected with the battery. Then I'd tell
the native boys that they could have the
money if they'd pick it out of the jar and
hold the handle on the other pole of the
battery at the same time. OF course the
circuit was completed, their fingers would
be doubled up and they couldn't touch the
money if their fortunes had depended on
getting it. had many a laugh and
achieved quite reputation among the
boys as wizard who controlled the devils
in the water.
Zone day when several young ladies
were in the Office lad came in, pushed on
by number of companions who had at
tempted to secure the five dollars and
failed. He had been persuaded to try for
the money, and explained the trick to the
ladies in an aside as | arranged the ap-
paratus. The boy took the handle, and we
all prepared for great laugh.
"He put his hand into the water, slowly
drew out my flyer and quietly walked off
with it, while | stood with my mouth
open, afraid to face those girls, and pray

Silver Instead of China.

"When married." says a bride of few
months, IAN aunt gave me a sum of money
to put in china dinner set. Instead,
put it in silver dishes, anu think was
very wise. bought a lovely soup tureen,
two vegetable dishes. with covers that
turn into dishes if you want them, SO can
have four uncovered dishes or one covered
and two uncovered, as | need, and three

extra, but got only half dozen of each
soup breakfast, dinner and dessert-to
begin with, and am adding to them as
can.
.'The silver is easily kept bright, is I'M
breakable and will wear indefinitely.
There is the danger of denting it, to be
sure, but the pieces are so few they are
