"BAsTING A FAT GOOSE on THE SPIT"
The company had come as near to the
farmhouse as the meadow which adioined
1t on the west, and there they halted and
the maiden saw that one was with them
who was not OF the company when they
marched away the night before. He stood
alone, erect, constrained, and she per-
ceived that his hands were tied with
thongs behind his back. She saw her
father talking earnestly and seemingly di-
recting some two or three of the company
TO take this man in charge, and scarcely
knowing what she did she approached her
father and was so near that she could have
put her hand upon his shoulder before he
saw her.
"Sir," she heard her father say, "you
were captured within our lines without
pass and having no authority to be there.
] am going to send you with guard TO
the commander of our army, who Is in the
camp dozen miles or so beyond. He will
discover whether you. are no British spy,
but have strayed, as you have said, within
our lines by accident"
"What has he done, fatherY" the girl
asked, for she was filled with pity for this
man who seemed so proud and yet so
pleading in his manner.
"What, Thankful, is it you2 Why are
you here, my daughter9" said the captain.
~ came to welcome You, father"
"But this is no place for you. We have
prisoner"
"a prisonerP Surely he can do no harm.
He is not like an army and he seems well
favored"
Nevertheless we found him wandering
within our lines, and there are spies about,
and he may be one of those"
"a spyP Surely think not" And the
girl went to the prisoner and stood before
him In the innocence of maidenly conf
dence and looked full into his eyes, lifting
her head to do so, for he was tall and
seemed to tower far above her in his splen-
did presence.
"You are no spy" she said at last.
"No, my child, not spy, l am an officer
of the kings army who has strayed by ac-
cident within your lines Thank you for
your sympathy. You have beauty in your
face, my child, but you have what is bet
ter-you have sympathy"
The girl went back to her father and she
said; "Father, suppose my brother John,
who Is somewhere In the Jerseys with
Washington, should by accident be cap
tured by the redcoats. II would break
your heart and mine II they took him for a
spy. Surely there Is truth in this mans
words. Come. bring him with you. Don't
you remember that IL Is Thanksgiving
day, aud that we are to have roasted
goose and a chicken pie. and Abbie has
baked glorious pumpkin pier Let him

THOSE COMMITTEES.

When the Republicans set themselves
up to override the Democrats OF the City
Council they should first be sure of the
method of doing so. Bot when they go
at the matter in an angry and bull headed
way they must expect opposition from
their opponents.
The Republicans have attempted to ride
roughshod over the Democrats, but being
very Eweak in the calibre, they have been
beaten at their own game every time.
The Mayor has several times told them
what to do, but they have done it 50 bung-
lingly and with so apparent a raalice that
further patience ceases TO be virtue.
Hereafter they should be left 20 discover
their own blunders.
They were told three months ago to alter
the ordinances but they would not do so.
They have adopted rules to go into effect
January 4, 1892. But as they were adopted
in June, 1892 they are of no avail.
Can they even see it now?

NO DIFFICULTYIN SPENDING.

For city that according to the Repub-
lican plea could not do any business
because no bills were being allowed and
there being general tle-up, the City
Treasurer has managed to get rid OF a lot
OF money this year, so far.
According to the abstract furnished by
him to the members OF the City Council
up to June Z, he had paid out tho snug
sum OF s267,sis.42. This is fully three
quarters of the amount raised by taxation
last year, as can be seen at glance.
This rate OF Expenditure, with steam
only half turned on, indicates what Tn,
Republicans would do IL they had theil
own way
The work thus far shows the real apti'
tude OF the Republicans to create deficit
in the Treasury.

HARRISON AND REID

The above is the Republican ticket
What is it, and what does ii representa-
Protection to the Carnagies; protection
to the shoddy men, who have already
driven wool out OF the American market
as anything but thing TO be mixed will
shoddy; protection to the coal combine
which has already raised the price of Goa
on middlemen and consumers; protection
to the the iron millionaires; protection
to the Lorrillards and other tobacco mon
opolists; ruin to New England industries
complete ruin TO our iron and glass IN
dustries; protection 10 the COTS in plush,
braid and wadding; ruin to all COM
petitors; higher prices for consumers;
increased number Of yards to the cut in
cotton and wooden mills; the formation
OF more combines which mean the closing
out of the smaller manufacturer and a
consequent discharge OF help; the en-
dorsement OF the frauds Of Raum in the
pension office; the endorsement OF that
pious fraud Wanamaker; the ingrati-
tude shown to the men who made Harri-
son President,to wit: Quay, Dudley, Platt,
Foraker, Blaine, Fassett and Miller.
The above means Harrison.
As to Reid
The administration has bnt one paper
OF national Importance which has sup
ported it and that is the New York
Tribune. This is Whitelaw Reid's paper.
As reward for his support in 1883 he
was made minister TO France. His paper
has continued to support tho administra-
tion since Harrison's Inauguration.
Harrison has done what no other Presi-
dent has done, in return for such support.
lie set all of his Office holders at work TO
secure a denomination for himself, and,
being sure OF that, he sent for Reid to
come home. When Reid came home he
made him the offer OF the Vice Presl-
dency because he could give ii and also
because Reid is very wealthy.
After Reid came home it was thought of
by shrewd Republican politician, prob
ably Steve Elkins, that Reid had offended
the Typographical Union, and, just
week before his nomination, Reid made
the Tribune Uuion office. ANY one
can see at glance why it was done. Had it
become generally known before the nomi-
nation the resultwould have been different.
Reid has been fighting the Union for eight
years and now gives in simply because he
is a candidate.
The people understand the situation.

Jay Gould's Friend.

He bore every evidence of the species, tramp, and he was plodding his unsteady way up Seventeenth street as aimlessly as a mariner without a compass. He had reached the corner of Champa when he was accosted by an ebony -hued polisher of kangaroo with:
 "Shine, sir, shinei A good shine for nickel"
 He paused in his amble and, gag ing first at the bootblack with look of whitening scorn and then at a pair of ancient brogans, from which ten dirty toes protruded said:
 Hook ahere, young feller, come tro' Peablo las week an Jay Gould give me dem shoes, an any body wot knows Jay knows he don't wear no assinee sale shoes. Dye tink I'd insult me old frien' Jay by gettin a five-cent shine on demf Sides, you're cuttin' de rates.

LIVES BY BEING PHOTOGRAPHED
How Pretty New York Girl Earns Her
 Bread and Butter.

How n Pretty New York Girl Earns Her
 Bread and Butter.
 The most curious occupation heard of lately is that of young woman who earns bread and butter by being photographed. Not for her face and not for her figure, except in so far as by means of these she may the better display pretty gown. It has been business occupying a small number of women in Paris regularly for some years back to pose for sketch artists or before the camera for the composition of the fashion plates sent out with the more ex pensive French fashion magazines. Nothing of the sort has been done in New York until lately, American fashion publications either copy ing their pictures from French and English periodicals directly or topping out gowns with fancy head rieces--a very barren and insane fancy commonly-or calling the first girl who came in sight from the workroom to be immortalized.
 Latterly there has been demand for fashion pictures which looked lifelike and not wooden, and the utmost difficulty has been expe- rienced in getting better class of art work in them. Women with pretty faces are beginning to be ap- pealed to to lend their features and their figures for the purpose. A dimpled blonde, whose husband is at the head of a large publishing house, was in the very act of yield ing to the charms of a new tea gown one day recently when her husband interfered lest the magazine readers might recognize the model. The profess sional fashion model will be an in- stitution shortly. The girl spoken of is already in the field. She poses on a divan as carefully as for an academic picture to bring out her own best points and those of an evening gown; she plays tennis, she poises an alpenstock. Just now she is skating for next winters out door gowns. Fashion illustrations have Jagged so far behind all other pistures that it has been ruin to wood engraver who aspired to any thing better to work on them. The standard is going to be raised now.

Had a Choice.

The dude was descanting to the maiden on its likes and dislikes.
 "Aw, don't you know, Miss Anne, 1 wouldn't be pwesident of the United States undah any circum- stances" it announced supercilious- ly. "I should refnse it even it were tendahed me, it is such twying po- sition, with so much, don't you know, that is quite unbeahwably disagweable about it.'
 "Indeedi" she said, lifting her eyebrows meaningly.
 "Yes, Miss Anne" it went on, "but should deahly love to be sec- wetawy of the navy, don'tyou know, flaw l could have such splendid opportunities flaw yachting, don't you know"
 Then it was that the girl arose and went away to commune with a pug dog in a blue anket.--Detroit Free Press.

 ssI do not wish to criticise Mr. Cleveland's position at present, said the senator, sbecause he may have changed, and until he has an opportunity to make known his views when he will accept the Democratic nomination
 The senator declined to say any thing for publication concerning the silver plank in the Democratic plat form, as he intends to make a speech in the senate in few days, when he will probably discuss 1t.
 Mr. Bartine { Republican, Nevada, thought the ex-president was the weakest candidate the Democrats could have nominated. The silver plank in the Democratic platform is less satisfactory than the Repubh- cans platform.
 Senator Davis (Republican) Min nesota-I think they have nominated a canll.:istez easy for the Republi- cans to beat.
 Senator Hansbrough Republican, North Dakota-The result of the Chicago convention is the outcome of united efforts of money power of Wall street.
 Hon. Hoke Smith, of Atlanta, the Cleveland leader of Georgia, takes rosy view of the Democratic situation. Speaking of Mir. Cleye- lands nomination, Mir. Smith said there was no foundation for the claims that he Is weak in the South. He received the votes of a large majority of the Southern delega- tions, and now all opposition to him will cease. Mr. Cleve- lands nomination will not strengthen the Third Party. He enjoys the entire confidence of all classes, regarded as the ideal rep resentative of his party and public trust.
 Governor D. R. Francis, of Mis- souri, who has been one of tn most insistent and persistent Cleve land men in Chicago during the las . week said: Stevenson suits us thoroughly, although he was not Missouri's candidate for the second place; in fact, we would have preferred Gray, but 1t is said Tammany understood that Gray was our choice and proceeded to punish us by punishing Governor Gray. There is nothing to be done under all circumstances but to nom mate Stevenson. The selection was fortunate for many reasons. Tam many tells us with Cleveland we cant carry New York. If Steven. sons nomination means we can car " Illinois, indeed, 1t seems to me it has made New York a doubtful state.
