Long ago the fairies often stole children;
they chose the prettiest, and carried them
to fairyland-the kingdom of Tyrnanoge
leaving hideous changelings instead. In
those days no man had call to be ashamed
of his offspring, since if baby was de-
formed or idiotic it was known to be a
changeling.
1t is sixty years now since old Mike
Lonergan, who lived in howell in Moher
village, was robbed of his child. 1t was
his wife who first found out the theft, for
she had seen her unborn son in dream,
and he was beautiful; SO when she saw
the sickly and ugly baby, she knew that
he was not hers, and the fairies had stolen
the child of her dream. Many advised
her to roast the changeling on the turf
fire, but the White Witch of Moher said
it would be safer to leave him alone.
So the child Andy grew up as stranger
in his fathers hovel and had a dreary
time of it; he got little food and DO kind
ness. The Lonergans gave him neither
offense nor welcome, hoping that he
might see fit to go home to Fairyland, and
yet bear them no grudge. He grew up

pleased excepting that one branch would
be reserved for the exclusive use OF the
leader. The leader raising his tail over
his back in the shape OF an IS" would
pace to and fro solemnly on the branch
and at last begin to utter low sounds
similar to the grunt of a young hog.
This prelude would grow insensibly
! louder, the time quicken, pauses omitted
until the tune became an uninterrupted
dreadful yell.
At that point the monkeys would ap-
pear to be thrown into raptures, all join
ing in the deafening cry and bowling IN
conjunction.
The powerful roar OF the jaguar, the
terrific growing of the panther, the wild
shoutlngs of a crowd of drunken Indians
with lamentations and groans, seemed to
be combined in the internal chorus, and
their bowls could be heard over mile.

no idea of expressing any special feeling
or emotion-they simply howled for the
fun of the thing.
DESSERT OF PARROT TAIL FEATHERS.
L became much interested in the warfare
carried on between the monkeys and the
parrots.
The monkeys, found. were addicted
to plucking out the tail feathers of the
parrots, and learned that at the end of
the feather is a sWeetish substance which
is TO the monkey what taffy is to the
small boy.
One would naturally suppose that the
parrots, with their ability to fly, would
lind little difficulty in retaining their
feathers; but curiously enough they
seem to delight in sitting on the branch
of tree and attempting to battle the
monkeys, when d few flaps of their
wings would carry them out of danger.

its movements or how strong its beak. it
was but question of time how soon the
unhappy bird would be tailless and
shrieking with pain, the eleeful monkey
retreating only to a safe distance to
greedily suck in the sweetness from its
gorgeous trophies.
Taking them all in all, the monkeys
have proved, to my mind, the most COM
panionable denizens of the animal world.

III.-THE DARK MANTLE STORY OF AN
AMADAN.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1893-09-09

The >uec.a ( rrtspondent OF the
Balrimore SIN who has b en- re
porting the Elkton Fair and
observing the political drift OF the
day in Cecil, writes to that Journal,
that there is fear and trembling on
all sides in Cecil. Dire threats
about cutting have floated out on tn
summer air and the candidates have
been on hand not to talk politics,
you know, ut to give that warm
grasp of the hand that comes from
an overweening desire to know how
you left the madam and if Johnny
has yet been decorated with "pants"
The Democrats admit that the
fight vii! be fast and furious and
while there seems TO be no open
agreement between the allied forces
OF prohibition and republicanism
the strength of L. NJ. Haines,
It publican candidate for Senator, is
admitted especially as he is known
as a strong prohibitionist."

OUR contemporary, tut editor of
the Cecil Democrat, broke last
week the dismal gloom of silence
that has recently enshrouded that
Office, by making few remarks on
the political situation in Cecil.
Our astute brother found congenial
inspiration for his theme, in the toot-
a-toot of Neighbor Giles fish horn,
and proceeded to do few touches
in character painting, with a particu-
larly partisan pencil, contrasting the
talented, positive and correct Mr..
Crothers, with the conservative and
negative Mr.. Haines.
This character portraiture was
really refreshing TO those who know
both Senatorial candidates.

What a Republican Delegate
Has to Say.

NoRHT EAST, September ), 1893.
EDITOR WING:
d, IN reading the editorial OF the Cecil
County Nete, of the 31st of August, one that
| did not know would suppose, that Mr. IL Il.
Torbert ran the late Republican coventlon,
and everything connected wlS.- lt.~>toJ Tar
| as the Fifth distric5 is concerned, and | am
sure it was the case with the other DISTRICTS
will say to the people of Cecil county, hat
every word or intimation of that editorial
in that direction is false. There never WAS
primary meeting in the Fifth district, con
Quoted in better orler, AMI 50 free from out
side influence. Eve:y5 iy's object seem ed
| to be to place men on the ticket outsiis aud
independent of all rings, cliques and fac
tions, and good true and reliable men, tha.
would work to the interest OF the people
| were sought for. 1t was as it should be, a
peoples primary. The delegates that were
elected were pledged to no one. Neither
would they be. Il was plain to be seen
| among the people that they wanted either
Mr.. Jones, Mr.. Blake or Mr.. Haires a. the
| Senatorial candidate, Mr.. j. L. Moore for
| House of Delegates and Mr.. White for
Sheriff. That seemed to be settled in the
| minds of the people. This met the appro
val of our delegates. One or two of them
on their own responsibility had a talk with
Mr.. Torbert, the 1me as tEev would with
any other Repub IN, who wished to sea
| his ticket succeed to learn which OF the
gentlemen named Or the Senate would be
| likely to serve. u hen the Delegates lett
| him they knew NJ more about it than they
did before they went, for b. said frankly
| he did not know. Iu justice 10 Mr. Torbert
| | will say he did not even make a suEges
| ton as to single candid tie, nd there was
not word said or tn ,ught about half
breeds or st4warts nor about pulling this
one up or that one down. TuI is all there
was of it. All the trouble he. e;ofore in
this distIic. has been caused by outsiders
| interfering with our primaries. This will
be rebuked every time. There were cast at
| the Republican primaries 100 votes and all
the moncy that was spent was $3.50 and
| that was for room rent. Compare the two
primaries. The Republican was all that
has been described. How was it with the
Democrats? Drunkenness, money in the
| hands OF irresponsible persons, buying votes
illegal voting whole thing disgusting
and disgraceful to any decent person and a
burlesque on what the ballot box should be,
all caused by outside interference, and their
primary held in June to give the warning
| factions time TO heal their wounds and
| EN- brace before election. This is the true
situation, and the people of Cecil county
have chance to put a stop to it. Anybody
with common sense can see what trouble
the editor of the NelcS appears to be in. He
is frightened, and is in hopes of causing
| split in the Republican party by this Half
breed and Stalwart cry, or any other cry to
save their ticket.

PUBLIC sentiment is getting too
strong for Commissioner Lochren OF
the Pension Bureau at Washington
and on Thursday of last week, he
issued an order, which directs that
hereafter there will be no suspen-
sions of pensions except in cases
where the record shows on its face
that the soldier was not entitled. to
any pension whatever. The Commls
sioner has been driven to this by
public sentiment which was outraged
by the unjust attitude OF the admin
istration toward the Union veterans,
thousands having been deprived OF
their pensions.

THE REAL ISSUES OF THE
CAMPAIGN.
Bribery of voters.

I. Bribery of voters.
2. The saloon, as the handmade
and helper of political bribery, and
the dominating power of our politics.
:. The Crothers ticket represent
ings4t this moment in Cecil county,
both of these potent agencies OF evil
in local government.
These are the three living, breath
ing, puIsating issues, now before the
voters of Cecil county, in which the
fair name of our county, the peace
and good order of our communities,
the prosperity OF our men, and the
happiness and comfort OF our women
and children are involved.
The rum journals of the county,
be they proiessedly Democratic or
Republican, may in the political and
personal interests OF the men who
own and run them: attempt to dis
guise, conceal and cover up these
issues, but Just as certainly as God
lives, and truth, honor, justice and
right will ultimately prevail. if the
Crothers Legislative ticket be elected
in Cecil county this fail, all three OF
these public evils will be fastened
upon our people for years to come.
Entrench Mr.. Crothers, the politi-
cal head and front Of the saloon
interest in Cecil, the political foster
father of our present license system,
in the greater political power of a
secure seat in the Senate OF Mary
land, with three subservIent political
associates at his elbow, and the
contest with the saloon power in
1894, now assured by existing law,
will he handicapped in advance.
Rely upon this, credulous voters
OF Cecil.
Yes, the battle of 1894 is now on.
The campaign of 1898 is but the
preliminary skirmish to the life and
death struggle of the saloon power
to be fought next year.
Rely upon this too, credulous
voters of Cecil, while the crafty
leaders OF the rum interest of Cecil
county would impose upon you the
stale issues Of past campaigns.

Can Mr.. BOyd's Claims Against
the County While Sheriff be
Published?

Mr.. EDIToR:-A recent editorial in the
personal organ of Mr.. Crothers says,
"the records of the County Commissioners
office are open for public inspection. p"
Now great deal was said by Ex-Sheritf
Boyd and his friends about the County
Commissioners reducing his claims as
rendered fir fees, and supplies furnished
the prisoners during his term as sheriff.
Mr.. Boyd is now candidate for reelection
and as the tax payers who have to pay
these claims have clear right to know
whether Mr.. Boyd is a proper person to
trust for the making of claims against the
county, and as the only way to Judge tue
future is by the past, cannot we have these
claims OF Mr.. Boyd while SHERIFF made
