He Thought Painted Bulldog Was Q
Common Coscher.
"Most peculiar coach dog I ever
saw" said a city man to q farmer
whose team was standing in front OF
Q commission house
"Think sol" asked the farmer,
knocking the ashes from his corncob
pipe.
Eyes, do, for Q fact II it wasn't
for his spots I'd say he was q full
blooded bull What do you call him,
anyway"
HE is a bulldog. Just Q plain,
ordinary bulldog. and he belongs
right here in St Louis. and I'm 60
ing to take him home the mint / get
this load Of chickens receipted for.
I've had more fun with that dog than
you can shake a stick at"
The farmer lives out beyond East
st. Louis. He owns a few fertile
acres Of bottom land and a very
pretty, plump. coach dog. A neigh

cur that used 70 leap out at the
coach dog every time he came by
under his masters wagon Before
he'd break away he'd chew that
coach dogs neck nearly half of.
The farmer and the coach dog got
tired OF this at about the Same time.
81 ANITA man to let things Slide"
said the farmer, land so come to
St Louis and put an advertisement
In the Post-Dispstch for a clear
white bull dog that could whip his

forty answers. | took ono, went to
the address and rented this dog with
the privilege Of painting him Then
l took him home at night dsu bed
him with tar by lantern light and
this morning just at sunrise we
started for St Louis, the bull dog
tied by piece Of stout twins under
the wagon"
The cur was out by the gate and
mistook the bulldog for the coacher.
He made his usual flying leap"
said the farmer, "but In holy min
ute he was the most surprised dog
that ever any one saw. He hadn't
taken his first chew before that bull
dog had him by the throat II it
hadn't been that his owner came out

since Andy takes it so seriously we
feel just like John did after he had
given Sally parting kiss over the
front gate and had been cautioned
by Sally not to tell any one. "Oh"
said John, "I'm as much ashamed Of
it as you are, Sally" Andy can
suppress his indignation and rest as
sured that Populists are as much
ashamed Of his clandestine "sneak"
into their ranks as he is.
According to his own statement
above he wrote the minutes; further
more, the convention was held at his
suggestion, (being composed Of less
than half dozen persons) and ac-
complished his purpose as he states
above.
As to the editor of the Voice BE-
ing "constitutionally" an internal
liar" it is passing strange that if such
is the case some Of these lousy, time
serving tools Of plutocracy, or as Bill
Hackney calls them, these Coward
ly whelpS who happen to be Repub-
lican editors and who are afraid to
say their life is their own for fear it
will reflect on England" we say it is
passing strange that some of these
fellows, possessing such brilliant in
tellects, are unable to catch us &C.
casionally, and pin US down to the
facts, like the Voice does them fre-
quently.
1t is said that lawyers and editors
are expert liars. Andy has the ad-
vantage of the editor of the VOICE in
that he is both lawyer and an edi-
tor, thereby making him a double
expert. Now if Andy wants to carry
this measurement of the standard OF
veracity between US, still further, we
will cDeerfully follow wherever truth
leads.-If it kills US it will make
ANDY mighty sick.

The boys and girls began to assemble
soon after Il O'Clock, and in a short
time some twenty or thirty of Wal

joyfully received by Walter. The
evening was spent in different kinds
of amuSements, and among other
things an abundance of cake, pie, ice
cream and other good things were
brought into reQuisition, which the
little folks enjoyed hugely, and went
home wishing Walter many such Oc-

Strange, strange, is the story we
have to relate! During a conversa-
tion yesterday in our presence be-
tween Andy Richards and. W. A.
Johnston of Guelph township, it de-
veloped that Andy, away back in the
early eighties, had been a member,
and acted as secretary, of a Populist
tUnion-LabOr) cOnvention!-Voice.
The editor of the Voice is cOnstitu
tionally such an internal liar that we
don't believe he could tell the truth
should he try and we are satisfied that
a successful try would kill him. In
Gle Billy Johnston and the writer did
have a conversation in Naugle's pres
ence about Union Labor convention
held in 1880 Of which Johnston was
chairman and which we, as local edit
or OF the Press, reported. That con.
ventlOn, held in the old opera house
over Harry Andrews store, decided
the political fate of o. F. McKim. ].

Every time Mr.. Harvey says any
thing about the crime Of 1878, Mr..
Horr seems to be filled with utter
contempt and proceeds to discourse
upon the superior honor and in
tegrity of the men who represent the
people in congress, and claims that
to impeach their honor is to impeach
the honor OF the American people.
Mr.. Harvey made him confess that
some had been found corrupt, and
then added:
"The percentage of those who con-
fess to those who are otherwise found
guilty and punished is probably not
to exceed per cent. and only a small
proportion Of those corrupted are ever
arraigned."
He then very effectually drove his
point home by saying that he did
not propose to allow corrupt legis-
lators to throw the mantle of ma
tional honesty around them for their
own protection. He reconized the
integrity Of the American people
and it was to that he appealed.

In some parts Of the world, uota.

Eskimo along the Arctic coast oil
Alaska depend upon it wholly TO,
wood supply. Natives Of the cora
islands Of the Pacific get all their
stones for tools from the roots OF
drifted trees, in which the stones
were found imbedded.
The carrying Of seeds BY ocean
currents is one OF natures most
interesting methods of ~distributine
plants through the world. Darwin,
who devoted much attention to in
vestigating the matter, proved tina,
many kinds Of seeds will bear i'm.
merSion in water for 100 days, or
even more, and still retain their
vitality.s so that when thrown a shore
they are ready to sprout Not a few
species, which will sink when green,
hoat if they have CHANGED to dry
before falling into the stream which
carries them to the ocean. For the
very purpose OF accomplishing this
distribution by water, nature has
made the husks Of many seeds
practically waterproof. Among the
familiar objects picket. tb on the
ocean beach are the so-called
sea-beanS. 1t is popularity sup
posed that the plants which
bear these beans grow in the
water. The beans are found in
enormous quantities on the Florida
shore and in diminishing numbers

They are the seeds OF various
pod bearing vines-climbing plants
plentiful along the shores OF the
Caribbean sea Each pod, resembling
an exaggerated peapod, contains a
number OF seeds. The latter, falling
when ripe into the water, are carried

end OF Florida and up the Atlantic
coast There are three importan,
varieties, one reddish and fat,
another more round and gray, and

Judge Scion O. Thatcher was
slated for the judgeship which Judge
David Martin got, upon Judge Hor-
toms resignation, but Cy Leland OBJ
jected and the governor had to yield.
Thatcher crossed Leland in defend
ing Senator Rogers, and said that
one of the men who would be ap-
pointed on the penitentiary board
had bought his place by his verdict
on the Rogers investigation. This
man, sure enough, was appointed on
the following day. Senator Thatcher
said further:
81 did have a talk with the governor
about the appointment Of the appel
late judges. He wanted to discuss the
financial views of the various men
and was particularly anxious about
that so was very much surprised
when the appointment of man who
holds the opinions held by Judge
Martin on that question was an
nounced."
= Now what difference would it
make to righteous governor what
the financial views Of judge would
be? But for Cy Leland's whims a
gold bug would designedly have
been given preference.

If the "sound currency" leagues of
New York City and elsewhere will
only keep their tracts and documents
at home and drop the idea that west
ern people are an ignorant set of
Chumps, bent on running the country
with crazy financial schemes, their
cause will make a good deal more pro-
gress. About the last thing that a
KanSan wants to do is to take sugges-
tiOns or advice as to what he shall
believe and what he shall talk from
that corner of the universe.
Now it is publishing some of this
same stuff from this same "corner of
the universe" and palming it off on
the people as good doctrine,
ashamed to tell them thatit emanates
from the "Sound Currency Commit
tee" in New York. The harmony
of sentiment existing between that
"corner" and the Republican party
in Kansas, prevents any one from
detecting the difference unless we
call attention to it especially.

Frank Henderson is in the thrOes
of one of his regular biennial spasms,
and has announced himself as a can
didate for sheriff. Frank could not
be nominated by strictly ring vote,
aud he can get no other, and he knows
it, aud he couldn't be elected if he got
the nomination, and he knows that
also; but he wants the deputyship, and
everybody knows it; and he is trying
to secure it by the same old plan of
becoming candidate and then throw
ing his strength to anyone of the op-
posing candidates who will promise to
crafty that ambition. The voters
should head that little scheme off by
demanding of the other candidates a
pledge to fire every "old timer" that
is connected with the sheriff's office
and appoint an entire new set of
deputies, and they are binder than
moles il they do not do this. This is
an opportunity that should not be
Missed.
The county attorney has been in-
strumental in closing the joints at
Caldwell, which have been running
wide open for months and some $500

carries one key and the county attor-
ney has put another lock on the door,
the key to which he carries. The

crate so rapidly probably as at other
