BY Proxy.

Some time since one OF the
brightest Of Cincinnati's girls
went abroad, and when she re-
turned home, alout the first per
son to congratulate her on her
safe arrival was b, a young
blood of the city, whose dollars
exceeded his sense in the ratio Of
about million to one.
"Aw, Miss " he said,
"permit me to greet you, l pre-
sumo you had a very pleasant
trip abroad
Yes she answered, "very
pleasant indeed. / was all over
the continent, and through Eng
land, Scotland and Ireland.p
"Aw, in IrelandI And did
you see the Blarney 'tone?"
"Yes, / was there
"Oh, l should be SO delighted
to see it. 1t has always been
desire of mine to kiss that cele-
brated stone, but l have never
had the opportunity"
Indeed, then you should go
there"
Il know, but | haven't done
so, and you have, so why should
not l kiss it by proxy? You
have been there and kissed it,
why should I not take the infu-
ence from your lips?" and the
smart Aleck stepped forward to
proxify the young lady. But
she drew back and looking him
in the face, said
\ peg your pardon, my dear
Mr.. B., but | sat upon the
Blarney otone."
Like man with great sorrow,
B sank down in a heap, and
hasn't said ireland since, and
the word "Blarney'' makes him
elirious.-Cincinnati Times.

poilllcs IN Une narrow sense IN
which that term has come to be
used, but rather day OF public
! patriotism after the fashion Of
the fathers of 1776. That patri-
otism that knows nothing above
the common good, no personal
interest or party preference but
this one grand Republic, a ma
ton OF independent states whose
citizens are as free to every law
full pursuit as il each we're a king
IN his own castle with the fear
of no restraint, save that Of a
just God and the rectitude Of
his own actions.
Such patriotism as Drake
felt when he wrote those old, vet
beautiful lines:
When Freedom from her nountaain
height
unfurled her standard to the air
She tore the azure robe of night
And set the stars of glory there.
She mingled with its gorgeous DIVES
The milky baldric OF the skies
And striped its pure celestial white
With streakings of the morning
light.
Ladies and Gentlemen: - |
think it highly appropriate on
such an occasion as this that we
consider our present condition
and our prospects for the future
for this day is sacred to progress
and liberty. Sacred to the mem
ories it recalls and sacred to our
fathers who sacrificed all at it's
holy shrine. Sacred for the
price OF blood and tears and
heartaches. Yes, sacred to that
old flag, the emblem of liberty
in every cline.
There is class of people in
our land, we meet some of them
every day, who have a habit of
looking at the gloomy side of
everything, they are kind of dis
pepticts, poor digestion, and are
the badly polite they prove a
veritable parasite. i believe,
Sirs, that this kind of man has
the same effect on the body po-
lite as he has upon individuals;
and when you as an individual
meet such man you meet him
to hate him feeling for him less
respect than when you met,
displeased with yourself and
generally dissatisfied with every
body.
Such man always makes me
feel like grave calamaties have
settled down upon me and all
the world alike.
And if YOU please / am going
to say that this individual un-
rest has been propagating and
disseminating malice it has taken
hold upon our national life and
today our national mantle is
much like 'Joseph's coat. 1t is

How to Kindle Fires With Kerosene.

The frequency of explosions from
the use of kerosene have demonStrat-
ed that as fir kinder the oil has
come to stay. Admitting this TO be a
fact few suggestions may not be out
of place here. The Union, several
times in past years, has made the
statement that kerosene could be safe
ly used for this purpose if poured from
a cup whose mouth was not smaller
than its bottom. No explosion can
occur if kerosene be poured on live
Goals from tea cup, or any ordinary
quart cup. The reason is that ker0-
sene gas will not stay in an open
m0utned vessel but slowly escapes and
mikes with the air. There can be no
eX '0sion where there is no gas. The
common gallon can with small nozzle
is as dangerous around as a loaded
revolver. The only safe way TO handle
kerosene, and one much more con-
yenient all round, is to keep the oil i'm
a five gallon tank with faucet. A
quart or two quart cup with a small
funnel should be used to fill lamps
with. When kerosene is poured on a
smouldering fire it will not at once
burst into blaze but will go up the
chimney in white fumes mixed with
the air, which com bination being very
explosive will, when it is finally ignit-
ed blow the SCOT upward and down
ward, sometimes throwing griddles to
the floor. When pouring oil on slow
fire match should be lighted and
held on the fumes at once that the
gas may burn before accommodating in
any quantity. If this is done there
will be no explosion and blowing of
ashes into the room. If people prefer
to get along with the dangerous,
small-nozZled can for hand pouring,
they should first pour the oil into a
cup, to kindle a fire, never directly into
the stove. Another point should be
observed by householders. who also use
gasoline. Use can strikingly differ
ent from the kerosene can for the
gasoline, as a mistake may cause a
terrible explosion.
Last week in the town of Concord,
this county, woman mistook a gaso-
line for a kerosene can and poured
some of the oil on smouldering fire.
The result came near being her own
deathand the burning up of the build

THAT Infamous Mckinley Bill

When the iron schedule of the Nc
kinley bill called for an average duty
of 40 per cent it was infamous, high
protection. But when the same duty
is incorporated into the iron schedule
of the hodge podge bill of the demo
cratic senate it is duty for revenue
only, revenue reform. They adopt a
tariff on glass with higher duty than
that of the Mckinley bill, but there
is no protection in it, it is all revenue
The present law admits sugar free
of duty, "A measure that has been OF
immense value to the man Of small
means.
The democratic bill puts sugar on
the dutiable list, and then retains
the bounty until 1895 and defers the
operation of the law until the same
date thus enabling the sugar trust to
realize a profit of S40,0OO,0O0 by this
sublime stroke of business. ''Oh
