The Tammany situation Is affected by
the developments of corruption In the

Tammanys doors. In addition, the bad
times have been uppermost In this great
city. and yet, on the other hand. the Re
Iublicans have conducted an utterly fool
ish campaign on the American Protec-
tive Association issue; and this to great
extent has solidlfed Tammany's vote.
THE BROOKLYN VOTE.
While there has been a reorganization
of the Democrats Of Brooklyn since their
overthrow last year, the independent
voters do not believe that there has been
thorough wedding out OF the old ele-
ment, and the independents are led by

iron-clad instructions of Judge Phillips
the jury was impelled to bring In a yer.
dict OF guilty, and the defendant was
mulcted in fine OF about $l40 and
costs. OF course, Pauley was one OF
the witnesses for the government, and
his evidence strong. Mullins gave
bond, we believe-anyway. he got a
chance to skip, and he skipped, and
went no man knoweth whittier to this
day. One hundred and forty dollars
to say nothing of the costs-was as far
beyond the reach of the poor fellow as
was quarter-section on the moon. He
awaited himself of the only method left
to enjoy Gods sweet sunlight and the
free air OF heaven. AS soon as he was
gone Mrs. M. instituted proceedings
for divorce, and obtained a decree at
the late April term of the Iron Circuit
Court. So she. too, was free. But not
for long; for, behold! last week Pauley,
with his parents written consent in
hand-for he has not yet attained his
majority-last week he came to town
and sought a license to marry her who
late was Mrs. Mullens. She, being of
full legal age, and mayhap a year or
two beyond, needed consent of neither
parent nor guardian. So the clerk joy
fully pocketed his dollar and issued
the legal preface to the ceremony that,
whether it binds for good or ill. binds
for all time-Or until the next divorce
court. IT'S thus that things eventuate:
Mullens has her Pauley, Pauley has
his Mullens, and Mullens has his liber-
ty. All are happy, and still the sea-
sons come and go!

The locusts are here in full force,

may say what you please, but give me
ha re-.
the way our sainted mother and father
used to worship. 1t is good enough
for me. l attended the second Baptist
church once in St. Louis; heard the
famous DR.. Boyd, and I could hardly
realize that was in church. The
singing and music were more like a
theater. One woman would get up
and hollow or. squall until she was out
OF breath, and the balance of the choir
would come in on the chorus. The
choir sat up in the gallery, and they
tell me they go back and drink beer and
read the Globe-Denaocrat until they are
called on to sing the closing exercises.
Now, if you call that religion, l don't
want any of it in mine.
We are still having lots of candi-
dates to see us.
Bro. Eli, we want your decision on
one thing, and that is: Don't the con-
stables in each township have to an
nounce, and are they not elected at
the primary along with the rest?
There are four candidates for constable
in this township, and / think it ought
to be settled at the primary. So, just
give us a decision on it. ISAAC.
