But, there is always something facetious connected with every trantactlon, and this time Harry Poynter had the mis fortune to be the loser. A gentleman stopping with him left fifty cents with Baird for him. Harry enquired after it and found that the burglars had got ten that too, and he seems to be griev- ing more over his loss than Mir.

His mind seems clear but he persists in saying "I had but fifty cents and lost it."

TIE campaign preyaricator is es- peclally active just now. Candidates for the presidency are his favorite game. It is so much easier and more pleasant to invent and circulate stories about persons who cannot contradict them. He has of late been busy with the names of Cleve
 land and Hill. He makes all kinds of assertions, prints all sorts of fab
 rications and credits each of these distinguished democrats with every crime in the political calendar. Dc casionly time is spared from this task to talk of other prominent men, always to their disadvantage. Crisp, Mills, German, Boies, Jones Palmer, and all other democrats who stand in the front of the fighting come Tn for the unjust criticism of the mal- contents. Usually the fabricator is republican. Sometimes he is a democrat. When democrat does prevaricate he does so artistlcally and effectively, A family fued is tue bitterest of quarrels. Hence it is good policy for democrats at this time and at all times to beware of the campaign meddler and mischief maker. Do not trust the fellows who devote their time to saying mean things of their own party lead
