a Good story Of Blue and Gray.

When the statue Of Stonewall jackson was
unveiled at Lexington, Va, July p, 1891. says
a COMPANION contributor. not few soldiers
who had fought against him were found among
those who had come 10 honor his memory. In
a crowd Of old 'confeds' one OF these union
soldiers, a West Nirginian, probably made his
contribution to the war stories that fell that
day thick as the leaves IN Valambrosa.
II was down the valley here, fighting against
old Early, said the boy who had worn the blue,
and when got within striking distance of
where my Sarah lived-shes now my wife-I
lighted ont one night and went to see her.
81 knew she was outside Of our lines. and IL
I had known that she was in yours it wouldn't
have made any difference. / was going to see
that girl
'Of course. interrupted some sympathetic
listener.
We'll luck was against me- was caught,
taken to Earlys headquarters, tried and con
demned a spy and sentenced to be hanged at
O'Clock the next morning. I was put in an
old smoke house over night, with sentine! at
the door. Presently my guard was relieved,
ana the second watch wont on. am not going
to tell you all thought about that night, but
by and by the third guard went on duty. /
knew then that my time was near. -"
stranger" cPied a voice in the crowd of
broad-rmmed felt hats. ''let me finish that
story. You talked to the guard through the
chlnks between the logs; you made him believe
tnat you were a true man and no spy He pro-
posed TO you to run for your life and let him
shoot at you, You ran; the guard shot; he was
prize shooter, that fellow. but somehow he
missed you clean. Hello, stranger. was that
guardy"
What can men do at such time, seeing they
cannot fall on one another's necks and weep,
ike Jacob and Esau? The crowd cheered and
parted and the two men grasped hands.
II have advertised for you in the Gazette for
years. said the union veteran.
Il was busy raising corn-no time for reading
the Gazette, laughed the other.
well, this is what wanted to find you for;
just mention what you want
I've got fine farm" said the confederate,
proudly, but with no sign of boastfulness, "a
good wife and six children. [ don't want any
thing else that man can give"
All right" said the stranger; II amt a rich
man, but I've got some money and can get
more, and every dollar of it is yours whenever
you choose to ask for 1t.
Come along, said the old confederate, link
ing his arm in the strangers; al l want is for
you to help us hurrah for old Jack to-day and
then go home with me and see the old woman !"

A Trick of the Trade.

1t was raining. says the Chicago Herald. She
asked him for an evening paper. He drew his
coat sleeve across his face and said:
"Will you have a clean one or a dirty one?'
"Clean one or dirty one? Why, clean one
of course"
''All right. Yer see. some folks don't care,
an a kid can't keep papers clean when it soz-
zles all day, an ne can't sell de dirty ones as
quick as der clean ones, so jes asked"
He had folded the paper carefully, and he
took the pennies with Thank yer"
Another newsboy standing near said:
Hi. kids Did yer hear de style Blokey Is
slingin'f Clean papers an dirty ones Why
didn't yer fold de dirty ones clean side out an
sell 'em flrst?n
Hold on dere! Don't you goto gettin' freshl
/ knows what I'm about"
She went on, and mused over the fact that
even dirty faced and ragged aud self brought
up newsboys seemed to pick up sense of
honor. and know ntuitiveiy the principles that
make a success of business When she arrived
home and opened the paper she discovered that
the newsboy did know exactly what be was
about. The paper was clean only on the out
side.

The pernicious habit of carrying con-
cealed weapons is probably largely respon-
sible for the homicide at the Louisville mass
meeting, whether the shooting was inten-
tional or accidental. But for the knowledge
that pistols and knives are habitually car
ried to places Of public political meetings.
the person who did the shooting would
probably not have gone to Louisville armed

An epidemic of dipbtheria is prevalent in
Bristol, Pa, which, the doctors say, is due
to rather peculiar cause. There are
great many Italian residents in the town,
among whom it is the custom when child
dies to spread candy and sweetmeats over
the coffin. Before the coffin Is carried to
the cemetery the candy is removed and
often thrown into the street. Italian urohins
eagerly gathered up some of this infected
candy that had lain upon the coffin OF a
diphtheria victim and devoured it, The re-
suit has been general breaking out of the
disease. 1t is probable that the spread Of a
great many dangerous diseases is due to
some such peculiar custom brought to this
country and practiced by immigrants whose
ideas of sanitary and hygienic regulations
are not up to the standard. of the ideas of
native Americans.

An exchange records a rude but witty saying
of railway passenger. He was trying to read,
and was really interested in his book but Just
in front Of him sat little girl who seemed de-
termined to have his attention.
She was pretty and sprightly little creature
with blue eyes, golden hair and an inquisitor's
tongue. She pliel the stranger with questions
and toyed with his watch chain, and her mother
evidently a widow. looked around now and
out of SORTS. At last he said to the mother:

The elasticity Of the postal laws as ad-
ministered BY Wanamaker, when the Re-
publican party Is to be the beneficiary Of
the stretching, has been demonstrated by
firm Of publishers In New York. The firm
publishes weekly bright and breezy little
trade journal, which it has been endeavor-
ing for some time to send through the post
Office at second-class rates. The department
ruled that it wss a circular and not a
periodical with bona ide subscription list,
although proof TO the contrary was SUBJ
mitted. 1t was, therefore, excluded from
the mails as second class matter. The re-
publicans have for some weeks been sending
to papers of their party numerous copies of a
campaign document entitled Protection
and Reciprocity alleged to be published
monthly, which were folded with the regu-
lar editions OF the papers and circulated
through the mails at regular second-cla
rates. To prove that the department was dis
eliminating In favor Of the republican cam
paign document, the publishers of the trade
Journal mentioned ordered, through a third
party, $4,000 copies Of Protection and Re-
ctpToctty, wrapped their little magazine in
the sheets and offered them at the postoffice
as second-class matter They were taken
without question. And there you are! A
plain business document couldn't go at
second-class rates, but when it carried re-
publican literature it was all right.

few weeks ago a student who is now the
cause of considerable trouble was admitted
to the Kansas City Medical College. He IS
light mulatto, and represented at first
that he was half-breed Creek Indian from
Oklahoma. All went smoothly at first until
the other students discovered that he was no
Indian and had deceived them, and then
trouble began. The faculty has asked him
to leave, but he declines and threatens a
lawsuit and the colored citizens of the city
threaten to prosecute the officers of the in
stifotion If he should be expelled.

The warning regarding mixed" ballots
given by the MORNING NEWS several DAYS
ago should have the attention of democratic
managers at every precinct. Fraudulent
mixed" tickets have already begun TO make
their appearance in both southern and
northern states. The Richmond Dispatch
says Virginia is flooded with mixed ballots
intended to entrap unwary democrats into
voting against some Of the nominees of the
party, and Palmyra IN. " dispatch says
a regular mandatory of bogus ballots, on
which the names Of republican electors are
printed under the names Of one or two dem
cratic electors, has been discovered there.
Every democrat should be on his guard, and
democratic leaders at each precinct in Geor-
gia should be on the lookout that some trick
Of the kind is not worked here.

The additional cost Of the presidential
election in the city of Philadelphia under
the new ballot law, it is estimated by the
Ledger OF that city, will be something like
$25O,0OO. A part of this outlay, however,
furniture that may be used in subsequent
elections, thereby reducing the actual cost
of the coming election to about $1,000
Even that seems very large sum of money
to put out for election expenses in one city.
But if perfectly fair ballot shall be secured
TO Philadelphia through the operations of
the new law, the money will have been well
invested.

Not q Correct Opinion

Some OF the republican papers are trying
to mako capital out Of the fact that Mr..
Cleveland has delivered two or three brief
speeches during this, the last week of the
campaign. The Philadelphia Press, for
instance, says; speeches from a presi-
Dental candidate in the last week Of the
canvass are confession of defeat"
This is certainly not correct opinion.
II Mr.. Cleveland believed he would be de-
feated he would not have taken the trouble
to make speeches. He would have been
satisfied to await the result of the election
without any further effort on bis part.
His speeches this week have all been brief.
and have been made in response to requests
that he could not very we'll decline. In
fact, the meetingS ne has addressed would
not have been satisfied il be had refused to
respond to the demands made upon him.
The speeches of Mr.. Cleveland this week
have not been made by the desire of demo
cratic campaign managers, nor with the
hope of making votes for the democratic
ticket. They we're made, as already stated,
in response to requests from large plumbers
Of people who wanted him to take part in
their meetings.
1t very is well understood that little
or nothing eau be accomplished at this
stage of the campaign by speeches.
About everybody has made up his mind
on the issues and with respect to the
candidates. Mr.. Cleveland knows that
as well as anybody else. 1t would be
folly, therefore. for HIM to be making
speeches now, if he thought the election
was going against him, with the hope of
bringing about a different result.
As matter of fact he is very confident
Of success. His speeches indicate that. He
regards the result as virtually settled in his
favor. The effort of che republican papers
to make it appear that his appearance on
the stump in the last week OF the campaign
as u confession of defeat is simply ridicu-
lous. That the republican papers should en-
gage in such an effort is an admission that
they are very much alarmed and that they
are utilizing every opportunity to create n
sentiment in favor of their ticket

The most remarkable thing about the closing

Unless the democratic managers at In
dianapolis are suffering from an acute at
tack of overconfidence, Indiana may be
counted democratic state in the coming
election. The democrats at state headquar-
ters announce that they have gone over the
poll lists four times and find that they show
democratic plurality of 10000. The party
organization in the state is said to be the
most perfect ever put to work there, and
which, it is believed, will bring out 95 per
cent. Of the party strength, in which case
the only thing to be guarded against is Te-
publican frauds And In this matter it is
reported that all possible precautions have
been taken. 1t will not be possible for the
Doodle frauds of 1888 to be repeated, and it
Is believed that when the vote is counted
next Tuesday night Cleveland's plurality
will be found to closely approximate the
figures submitted.

Recent foreign dispatches indicate that
King Behanzin of Dahomey, who recently
promised to attend the worlds fair at Chi
cago and show the throngs assembled there
how best to roast and eat man. may not
be able to keep his appointment. The
reason, a cogent one it will be admitted, is
that lie will most likely himself be dead
aud digested long before that time. French
troops are pushing on toward his capital
and when they reach and capture it Behan-
gin will be executed with great eclat and
new king installed. According to Dahom-
cyan custom, it is to be supposed that there
will be display of culinary fireworks fol-
lowed by a feast, and that the fat Behanzin
will be present to entertain the guests-not,
however, in the capacity of host.
