Bro. Thompson of the Keyser Echo, whose
nerves are sensitive by reason Of recent Po-
Htical occurrences, is hur. in his feelings at
the publication of a story to the effect that
he voted the Democratic ticket by mistake,
after spelling four ballots. 1t was all joke
Bro. Thompson spoiled one ballot only
the light in the booth being dim and his
ewes not so good as formerly-and then yo'
ted as he intended to. The correction is
cheerfully made. But it isn't half so dis
creditable to a man to vote the Democratic
ticket by mistake as to vote the Republican
ticket intentionally. We hope by another
election the Echo editor will have so much
additional light and his eyesight will be so
much improved that he will really vote for
the Democratic candidates, and do it a-pur-
pose

1t was announced a short time ago by
the astronomers that on the 9th a comet
would be within a million uiles Of the
earth, and it got into the minds Of some Of
them that it would collide with this terres-
trial sphere Of ours. How it was TO collide
and yet be nearest at a million miles, We
couldn't understand any more than we can
comprehend good many other things the
astronomers tell Us. But as we are here
safe and sound subsequent to the 9th Of
November, We are inclined to believe there
was a good deal Of guess work about the
predictions made anterior to Sunday last
Anyway, we regret that the clouds inter
vened to obscure the promised meteOric
display.

As means of teaching practical charity,
the principals of the schools of st. Paul,
Minnesota, invited the children to bring
Thanksgiving offerings, to be distributed by
the St. Paul Relief Society. For three
DAYS the children carried their offerings to
school-meat and vegetables and canned
goods and provisions of all sorts, as well as
clothing. The result is beyond all expec-
tation. In the three days the children gave
enough provisions to last the two thousand
poor in the city all winter, and more than
the city has given before in three years
The forty-three schools in the city gave 172
immense wagon loads OF clothing and pro-
visions for distribution, and it is believed
the problem of caring for the city's poor
has been solved, so says a St. Paul telegram.
