speaks an infinite deal OF nothing. His
reasons are as two grains OF wheat bid In
two bushels OF cbaff: you shall seek
all day ere you find them: and when
You have them they are not worth the
search" This is very suggestive Of the
arguments, speeches aud discussions OF
all kinds daily heard on our streets.
Those who talk loudest and longest are
usually the ones who know the least
about the subject on which they are harp
ing. These statesmen are TO be found
not only on both sides Of the question
but on every street corner and scattered
along between those points. As q rule
the less they are informed the more posi-
tive they are until the listener Is COM
PEELED to wonder II we are turning out
to be nation OF statesmen. A crowd
will always gather, especially il the voice
is high-pitched as was evidenced the
other day when Old Taylor, the ex.slave,
set himself out to be "spell- binder"

theories on finance and tariff that it was
possible to conceive.
The Seattle Post fntelligencer Of last
Saturday notes the following accident
which happened to Col. L. s. Hewlett,
but which fortunately resulted in no in
jury: "While alighting from James
steet car yesterday afternoon, Col. How
lett slipped and in falling was carried
under the car, the front truck striking
him and pushing him forward. 1t was q
decidedly close call and only the prompt
action of the gripman in applying the
brakes prevented serious accident"
Col. Hewlett says the papers made much
of a very unimportant accident. The
circumstances were that in crossing the
street during a rain he slipped on the
pavement and passing car struck him
in the shoulder. Having a game" leg,
which cannot always be depended upon,
he was unable to gain his equilibrium
and fell but at no time was he ia danger
nor was the accident in anyway one which
should have ELECTED comment.
While Miss Ethel Henderson and Miss
Maud Stewart were seated 10 buggy,
talking to Mrs. Moses Ward. on Thurs
day evening OF last week, their horse was
stung by some insect and after cutting
some queer capers started Off on a run.

ably swifter than they were accustomed
to the girls made jump for safety. Miss
Stewart landed without injury but Miss
Henderson suffered the fracture OF the

pain. Fears are felt that the knitting
process will be slow even IL the young
lady does have the full use or her limb.
