Many shrewd observers believe that
upon the disposition which Mr.. Cleveland
makes of the Bland bill for the coinage of
seigniorage depends the very existence of
the democratic party as at pre- .ent consti-
tuted At least three members of the
cabinet-Gresham, Smith and Herbert
are said to be so certain that the veto
of the bill would be followed by an
open split of tie democratic party that

they are doing their best to persuade Mr..
Cleveland to sign the bill, as peace offer
ing to the silver democrats In the South
and West who are disgruntled because of
the numerous snubs they have received at
the hands of the administration. Mr..
Cleveland has given no sign of what his
Intentions regarding the measure are.

The Cowboys Accomplishments.

One of the chief sports Of the cowboys
is snatching a sombrero from the ground
on a horse running at full speed. This
is done by many. They have become ex-
perts in the use of 6-shooter (revolyer)
and cowboy on the plains is seldom
seen without one or more, often two,
buckled to his waist. 1t becomes a
weapon offensive and defensive. Some
times a roped bull becomes SO furious
that the cowboy is compelled to shoot
him. Usually the cattle on the plains
are not dangerous. They will seldom
attack a man on horseback unless they
have been roped. If man was on foot
a herd would run over him trying to find
out what he was. A COW or bull is dan
gerous when roped. 1t is not much Of q
trick to throw lasso and catch COW,
but the skill, courage and strength comes
after the COW has been lassoed.-Cor.
Richmond Dispatch.

The boy who is put off with the tallow

or the saloon in the city for their bright
ness, because there is that within him
which leads him straight to a brilliant

he may see, and you may be sure the
devil always has his lantern out.-Mar-

The boarding house joker has at last
met with a setback. He has been crushed
by the landlady, and it came about in
this way.
He was the only man at the table full
of lovely girls, and like all only men he
was spoiled. So when the belle of the
table remarked that she was very fond of
pepper and then sifted half the contents
of the pepper box over her food he sprang
an old gag on her:
ut won't hurt you This pepper is half
peas"
"What is that you say" asked the
landlady from the next table. Speak a
little louder, won't you?"
He reiterated his remark
"That isn't true" retorted the land
lady hotly. y do not use adulterated
goods on my table"
my dear madam" said the bland
joker, "there are always a lot of p's in
pepper"
There was an impressive pause; then
the landlady said in crushing tone:
"Oh, yes; just as you always furnish
part of the dessert"
