A Clever Parrot.

An aunt Of mine was paying us q
visit, and noticing that Polly had
splashed his bath water over a win
dow near which he happened to be,
said in a severe tone: Look what a
mess you've made, you dirty bird
I've a good a mind to throw you out
Of the window" to which the culprit
replied in the most contrite tone,
Poor Polly, scratch Polly" But a
moment afterward, as the lady and
I left the rooms together, he Kissed
out in the most vindictive tones i'm
aginable, You wretch" My aunt
returned and asked him, What's
that you saids"
Poor Polly, poor Polly" came the
reply humbly and beseechingly from
this mendacious bird. Cor. ST. Louis

1t is interesting to know that torgan
pedals were invented by Bernhardt
in 1890, for this gives valuable clue
to Bernhardt's present age. 1t is also
well to know that great organ of
five manuals contains within its case
six complete organs, the pedal at
tachment being a full instrument by
itself, having sometimes 100 pipes OF
its own. New York Times.

And all her cultured lovers know
She knows nor Greek nor Latin.

'Tis nevertheless conceded,
That though she's weak In literature
The bread she bakes IL splendid.
Another maiden much admired

For though they like to flirt with Kate,
Her prettler, wittier neighbor,
They much prefer one for mate

The Democrats In this city have all
along been exceedingly confident OF the
election of Hon. George d. Wise IN TINS
Congress- onal district, and OF easily car
,,sne the district for the Democratic Ma
,,orai ticket. The indications certainly
are that we will be successful, and she
animation is fraught with encouragement
- tho Democracy but 81 IS wise. In the
,,,dst OF this feeling OF satisfaction 10
utter n note Of warning against oyer-con-
fidenec.
The Republicans are apparently very
massive. and we hear very little OF ac-
tIvlty among Third party men, but that
is the very reason why the Democracy
,honld not be deluded into resting on
their oars in a feeling Of certain victory
because this passiveness on the part OF
their opponents 10 part OF the Radical
Third rarty's game. That their inactivity
Is all on the surfac, Is evident from the
fact that the negroes In the city yester-
dav were unusually active in registering
IN Jackson ward, and an unusually large
number of their names were placed upon
the books This means. Of course, that
the Republicans and Third party men are
70 poll their full strength In this city on
the sth Of November, and that they VIII
not give I'D the district without des-
perate fight.
This being understood, the Democrats
should make up their minds TO remit no
exertion TO gain success. Every man
must recognize his duty and perform it,
Not only must every Democrat in the
city turn out and vote next Tuesday
week. bat in the meantime everyone
should work to his utmost ability to
make assurance Of victory double sure
What we here urge applies as strongly
to the State as il does to the city and dis-
trict. Virginia is put down by the ke-
publicans as a doubtful State, and while
this Is not true, and we believe her cleo
toral vote Is as certain for the Demo-
cratic ticket as is that Of Georgia, still
it will require hard work, great ACTIVITY
and constant vigilance 10 convert all
doubt into certainty. we will never win
by lying supinely on our backs while our
enemies ore working none the less busily
and effectively because they are making
no noise about it. Hard and constant
hustling" from this time on to the close
Of the contest, and every Democratic vote
polled on the day of election Will be abso-
lutely necessary to prevent the stigma
and disgrace which would be cast upon
Virginia should she be found in the Re-
publican ranks next Tuesday.
