Where Is the Fool Killer.

Now the blatant jackass lifts up
his voice in the campaign, and the
unhappy candidate who has to stand
the consequences weeps. while the
stump orator brags.
The particular victim" of the ora
tor. is the Rev. John L. Seudder. He
Is very funny about MI. Scudder, oh
80 funny-and very severe on him too,
and We are sure he makes Mr.. Scnd-
der feel real bad."s
Now it SO happens that Mr.. Scud-
der enjoys the respect and confidence
Of the people of this community far
more than the average campaign ora
tor does. Mr.. Scudder has his faults,
ana the people know them. The peo-
pie de not like Mr.. Scudder's faults.
They often score him for them. But,
on the whole, the people are very well
satisfied with Mr.. Scudder. They find
him at times admirable, generally
nsefut ana always sincere and honest.
They do not like, therefore, to have
Mr.. Scudder mauled and insulted and
maligned by stupid and vulgar politi-
cal pleaders. They are apt to get up
and step on anyone who treats Mr..
Scudder that way, with trip hammer
emphasis.
In the present campaign, Mr.. Scud-
der and his associates had done their
cause IN i~ncalculable amount Of
harm aud Mr.. Stanton an inestimable
amount OF good. All there was to do
was to keep quiet and let them keep
on talking and MI. Stanton's election
by q huge majority was assured.
But last night the campaign orator
got to work. He wanted to make
himself solid with the leaders by
showing what q smart talker he was.
SO, he talked. We presume he will
talk again. this evening, and If he is
let. he will presently talk Mr.. Stanton

the most valuable of these local stamps
are those of Millbury, Mass, now worth
fifteen hundred dollars, of which only
SIX examples are known to exist, and Of
Brattleboro, Vt, now valued at six
hundred dollars.
In 1s47 the adhesive stamp appeared
in this country, following close on it's
adoption in England, and in 1856 law
was passed making the prepayment of
postage compulsory. This measure put
an end to the old paid marks. The
first adhesives were of five and ten cent
denominations. In 1868 the familiar
two-cent stamp, containing the head Of
Andrew jackson, was sent out. From
that time to 1885 the uniform style
adopted contained the profiles of presi.

and the "Crow Hill negroes" were at
bitter enmity, and frequent bloody
riots occurred between them until the
evening of the day when Mayor
Brown, the last of our mayors, was

there for the purpose of doing deeds of
violence, swearing that not one Of the
"Crow Hill negroes" should go home
alive that night. Scrgt. Austin, the
same man who as captain of police dis.
persed the Cohen mob some years
later, marched to the place with q
small squad of officers, and by deter
mination and force, with the liberal
use of hickory clubs, dispersed that
mob. The "Swampoodlers" never
gathered again in force.

perse, stating that they could not take
cessions any longer without a permit
from the chief of police. Cohen knew
that the supreme hour of his career as
the leader of mob had come, and he
ordered his followers to proceed down
Seventh street. AS soon as they came
within reach of the trusty clubs of the
little squad OF police they were re-
ceived warmly and sent back. Capt,
Austin not only stopped the progress
OF the mob, but followed them back up
Seventh street and caused the arrest

mob gave the police an ugly fight by
throwing paving stones and other mis-
siles before they gave up and receded.

the northwestern section of the city
called "Swampoodle." You know that
election days, when they had a mayor
and legislature to elect, the riots born
of rivalry between various sections of
the city used to cause great deal of
trouble to NE authorities. That is one

drawn and championed by Senator Ed

and passed, Withholding the right of

Perfumed pillows,

A New York paper states that the
Summer girl" among her other prepa-
rations for the coming season, is pack
ing away a dozen or more cheesecloth
bags, which she intends to bring home
filed with sweet lavender as a fresh
supply for her divan. There is much
difference of opinion as to the perfume
of lavender, but there can be no ques-
ton as to the difficulty of obtaining
the dried flowers in large quantities,
unless one is content to accept that
poor substitute, the American basil.
More feasible is the plan of a practical
maiden who intends filing her pillows
of the future with sweet clover, one of
the easiest obtained and best worth OBJ
tanning of all the sweetscented herbs.
Sweet fern leaves and also the leaves
of almost all the common ferns make
pleasant pillows and are less familiar
than the pine pillows which have SO
long been found among the innumer-
able cushions of the modern divan.
Rose leaves are, naturally, slower in
collecting. Still. a rose-leaf pillow is
a pleasant possibility, and typical of
the luxury OF modern days.-Chicago

SEPTILIBER.
A Mystifying Game for an Evenings
Amusement In tho ParlOr.

MystifyinG Game for an Evenings
Amusement In tho Parlor.
One of the most entertaining and
mystifying parlor games, with which
to break the back of dull evening, is
Septiliber. 1t is 80 called, suppose,
because seven books are employed in
playing it, though, as a matter of fact,
neither the use of seven as a number
nor books as implements is at all arbi-
trary. Six or eight or more of any
thing else will do quite as we'll.
These are arranged in row along
the floor in front of the performer, who
holds in his hand stick, to be used as
a pointer. One of the party Is now
sent out of the room, while those in
side agree upon a certain book in the
row, as the one touched. She is now
called in, and the performer, pointing
to one after the other, asks as he does
so: sIs this the one?" If she knows
the secret and has her wits about her,
she will readily guess Alright, and this
may be repeated again and again with
out the uninitiated being able to tell
correctly how it is accomplished.
The way it is done is as follows: Let
us suppose that the fourth book has
been agreed upon and the player who
went outside has returned. The per-
former points at, say, number three
and asks the usual question. NO" is
the answer. He then points at five
NO" then at one-"No;" then at four
Yes" which is, of course, correct.
At this juncture, very likely, some
one, with semi scornful, superior sort
of expression, will volunteer to go out
Let him go. I have seen many of him
and much of his defeat. Likely
he will have theory plausible enough
but altogether wrong. That is where
the fun comes in. Half u dozen appar-
ent solutions will readily suggest
themselves to the clever mind, but the
real one scarcely ever.
The whole secret is this The person
with the pointer is careful to touch
the fourth book at the fourth ques-
ton, and the preceding ones out of or
der. The higher the number of the

two performers; thus, if the sixth
book had been agreed upon,
the pointer would touch five in the row
out of order; that is to say, the third
book at the first question, the first at
question two the second at three, the
fifth at four, the fourth at five, and then
the sixth at question six, being the one
selected. If not cautious, it would be
very easy for him to touch, say, three
at question three, and thus lead the
player to guess the wrong one.
The game may be made the more in
teresting II the performer cleverly
practices little deceptive ruses, such as
manipulating his fingers in holding tho
pointer, as as to lead the spectators to
think that therein lies the secret.
have seen many persons, disappointed
in this way, put on most ludicrous eX-
pressions of countenance imaginable.
Then, too, the number of books or
articles may be increased to almost any
extent. but the higher the number of
the one touched, of course the greater
will be the demand upon the memory
and the wits of the players II.

Oratory still Powerful,

The orator and the audience occupy
the same relative positions they did in
the earliest age. If Demosthenes and
Cicero were alive now they would sway
men as they did in the old time. Web
ster and Clay retained their hold till
the day of their death, less than fifty
years ago, and could they be supposed
as living now with undiminished pow
ers they would still convince and per-
suade. If Patrick Henry were alive
now with that wonderful voice with
which in his old age he amused him
self, he would make mems eyes glisten
and fill even as he did in old st. Johns
in Richmond. A gift of God is never
lost, nor, does it ever cease to be val

NEW GREEN GOODS METHODS.
Dressed in Feminine Attire, the Swim
dler Lures His Victims.
From the Toronto Daily Mail.

Accompanied by Police Constable Irving
and friend, gentleman whose accent
afforded indisputable evidence that he is
of German extraction, walked into the
detective Office last night and there rela-
ted Il most remarkable experience which
he stated had befalien him on Saturday
evening. His name is Frank Hohlbein.
He is the representative of tan bark
company, and in the register of the Red
Lion Hotel he has given his address Dash
wood, Ontario. His business has taken
him all over this country and the adioin-
ing republic, and he has only recently re-
turned from the Southern States.
His story to the detectives is to the
effect that on Saturday evening, having
nothing to do, he paid visit to the Musee
on Yonge street. When the performance
was over he came out to the street, and
was about to return to his hotel, when he
noticed very plump, rather handsome
young lady, who appears to have had
power enough to charm him away from
his original intention to go home
Neither seems to have objected TO the
others company, and, to make q
long story short, the two strolled
awayrup the street arm in arm. Hohl-
bein is q stranger in the city, has no
knowledge at all of its geography, and is
therefore unable to now describe, except
in very general terms, the route followed
by him and his companion, but it is suffici-
emit to know that at length they reached
the outside of house which the lady in
formed him was her home. With some
hesitation he accepted an invitation to en-
ter, and was ushed into a room furnished
in a very ordinary way, and containing, he
noticed, typewriter, He was offered
some ale, but having declined to drink, the
lady drank some for him.
After some pleasant chatting, his COM
panion stepped back, and raising her
hand, lifted off her hat and a wig, and to
his intense amazement, Hohlbein saw
that he was in the presence, not of a
woman, but of a man, Another twist of
the wrist and the man had removed d
jacket waist and shirt, and their he
stood, a young man in ordinary male at
hire.
Hohlbein was at a loss to account for
this very strange metamorphosis, and
grasped revolver which he carried
with him, determined to defend himself
should the occasion rise The stranger,
however, requested him to be calm and
at his ease, as no harm would come to
him. He then produced some samples
Of bills, which he handed to Hohlbein
with the request that the latter express
an opinion as to what they were.
'Green goods !" said Hohlbein.
Fright you Grel'' said the stranger, and
