Levc, Headed Alliance Wien.

The widespread statement hav-
ing been made that the Democratic
Alliance men of South Carolina who
had instructed the State delegation
against Cleveland, would not sup
port the ticket but vote with tine
Peoples Party, large number Of
lodges throughout the State are ad-
opting ringing resolutions like these
which We especially commend to the
careful consideration of the Brethren
in Vermilion:
That we condemn all utterances
and efforts looking to the formation
of a Third Party in this State, and
call upon all Democrats who were
opposed to Cleveland's nomination
to bear in mind the sentiment from
one of the Ex-Plesident's bitterest
foes, Chas. A. Dana. editor of the
New York Sum, who, in bis recent
comments on the nomination, said:
Better vote for the liberty and
white government of the Southern
States. even if the candidate were
the Devil himself, rather than con-
seEt to the election Of respectable
Benjamin Harrison with the force
bill in his pocket"
That with pride we note that Gov.
ernor Tillman and Senator Irby have
declared since the nomination of
Cleveland that they will support the
ticket and make the best effort of
their lives for Cleveland's election,
and we pledge ourselves to do the
same.

ford put on his cards, after a New York
agency, that did detecting in wholesale
way, told him they would take him on fol-
month on trial and pay him by the piece
if he developed talent in the profesh."
In addition to having a fine supply OF
cards printed, Harry Boggs laid in a stock
of wigs, false boards, face stains, odd
clothes and other adjuncts to disguise,
which, in his omnivorous reading of de-
tective novels, he had come to consider as
the essential equipments of the calling.
He was not a good vocal mimic, but as
all the detectives he'd ever read about
were adopts in changing their voices and
perfect polyglots in their ability to speak
every language living and dead, he brought
on bronchitis in his efforts to disguise his
voice and ''to speak with a hoarse ventrilo-
quial growl."
Fortunately for Mr. Harry Boggs, his
mother had means and kept him from hay
ing detectives Oh his own track, for he had
a constitutional &ntipathy-as have most
private detectives-to regular good old
fashioned hard work,

OH and all the appliances for making
punch before him on the table.
by Jinksp' exclaimed Mr.. TalIman,
I'm glad you're back, for 1 am awful
lonesome, and | never did like to drink

Harry Boggs did not need much coaxing,
though he assured the man from Chicago
again and again that he "made it rule
never to drink while he was out on a Job"
but as this was an unusual case, and Mr.
Tallman was brother, he would join him.
And SO our private detective smoked and
drank punch till he lost consciousness
He never knew how he got to bed, but till
the day of his death he must retain very
vivid recollection of his waking up.
1t was broad daylight, and number Of

to rub his eyes he found handouts on his

1t would seem that in addition to the
robbery of two more houses the night be-
fore, the room of nearly every guest in the
hotel was plundered, and a lot of the least
valuable booty was found in the private
detectives apartment.
Where is Tallman, of Chicago?" roared
Harry Boggs.
He was told by the landlord that that
exemplary gentleman had gone back to
New York on the train that left before day
light.
Great Caesars ghostl" screamed Boggs,
He's the thief!'
The amateur detective was quite right,
but it was not till he had spent six weeks
in prison that the authorities believed his
story. They would not have credited him
then, but for the confession of man who
was shot in gambling den in Baltimore

Two Scotch Adventures.

| 1t has been said that 'the Scotch
though undoubtedly patriotic, are 'nevel
so much at home as when abroad" Sill
Walter Scott knew his own countrymer
thoroughly well, and one Of his best char
acters, the soldier of fortune, Dugald
Dalgetty, he often declared was not a
creation of his own imagination.
There is no government under the sun in
which Scotchmen have not taken service
and no money making business in which
they are not to be found near the top of the
ladder.
This was well illustrated during the late
war between Turkey and Russia in the
Balkans.
After Plevna the Russian marshal Keith
and the Turkish general Ross Pasha met
to negotiate the preliminaries that finally
led up to peace.
These two soldiers, dressed in resplend-
ent uniforms and surrounded by gorgeous
staff officers, met in ruined castle that
had been temporarily fitted up for their
use.
They communicated by means of inter
prefers, and with the cunning and per-
sistency of able men each tried to gain an
advantage over the other
At length the object of the meeting was
accomplished, and the Turks and Russians
sat down to dinner together, with as much
comradery as if they had not been recently
seeking each others lives.
After dinner Marshal Keith and Ross
Pasha lit their cigars and strolled away
from the hearing of their stats. After
they had gone some distance, they sat
down side by side on dismantled cannon
in 1ich =
with an unmistakable Scotch accent, said,
General. Keith, if Pm not greatly mis-
taken, you are a Scotchman by birth?"
you are not mistaken at ALL" said
Marshal Keith, "for while l take pride
in the service of my master, the car of
all the Russias, it must ever be my chief
pride that was born in bonny Scotland.
And Pm kennan, general, that you are no
so much of Turk yersel?"
II am a Turk and bra guide ane too"
responded Ross, $50 long as / am in the
service of his majesty, the sooltan, the
whom, as the true defender of the PROPHETS
faith, may heaven protect. But I'll con-
fess that my heart yearns betimes to be
back in the auld hame by Kirkaldy. Did
you ever hear O. that place, MANI"
"Kirkaldy?" repeated the Russian.
eyes; that's the place"
"Why" exclaimed Marshal Keith, IT
was born in Kirkaldy."
"And who was yer father?"
Donald Keith, the dominic Who was
your father?"
ANDREW Ross, the schoolmaster"
"And yer fathers fogged me many
time" said the Russian, as he took the
others hand, and added, land the son has
tried to do the same DOT here, but I'll no
agree that he has made SO great success
o. it,"
"Weel, yell allow he was good master,
for had it no been for his teaching the Rus
slams would no have for their best general

friend, that it's only the memory O. yer
fathers preaching that has KEEP me from
becoming an DOT and DOT Mohammedan
and starting harem like the rest O. the
pashas; but when it comes to fighting Pm
with them. All, mon, wish that we had
a glass of guide auld whisky to celebrate
the meeting"
And with this they parted, each believ-
ing that he was doing his best to uphold
the honor Of the motherland.
