A Cannsaign Story.

We are told that Judge Griggs and his
opponent, Mr.. Sibley. get along famously
ogether-frequently dining at the same
table and sleeping in the same bed. And
that reminds me OF little story: There
were two candidates for a local office in
Georgia whose relations were just as cor
dial. They never quarreled, and they
dined and slept together in true Christian
fashion. On the day Of election one of the
candidates was confined to his room with
a sprained ankle. When the result was an
nonnced his rival rushed to his room, and
exclaimed:
''John-dad burn it!-I'm elected"
You're a liar cried John from the
bed.
And with that and his sprained ankle,
he came FORTH" as it were, and they
clinched, and such fight as they had beat
all the records in that town! The room
was two brief stories from the ground.
but the crippled and defeated candidate
succeeded in getting the elected to the
window and pitched him headlong out
of it!
Let us hope that when Judge Griggs gets
his Congressional certificate Mr. Sibley
will be less demonstrative. ve.-Atlanta Consti-

and brutality of which he had read 50
much, the game in this respect was sorely

mcnt: Il cannot hope to see finer pXhi-
bition OF courage, strength, and manly en-
duranCe, without trace Of meannesS, than

His con mparison Of the present American
game with Rugby football is in favor of
| our game. There is as much difference, aC-
cOrding to MI Lehman, between the Eng
glish game and association footrau as be
tween American football ard the Rugby
game, although our game is merely a de-
velopment of the Rugby game, which was
introduced in America in 1874 Our game
is more of a series Of carefully devised tao
tical evoiutions, intended for favoring the
position Of ones forces TO the embarrass-
ment OF the foe, rather than so much of a
game in the English rough and-ready sense
Of the term; and it is not enough, in bis
estimation, that the captain he fleet and
full Of courage, but he must be possessed
of mind as ninlble as his legs. The pre-
cision and quickness OF the players was a
marvel to him, and he was in a state of
sustained excitement throughout the con
test.
The cheering of the rival bodies Of stu
dents amused Mr.. Lehman greatly at first,
and he likens the rah-rah-rahs to the
barklngs of "some gigantic super-canine
dog that bas set himself to outbark all
other dogs-and had succeeded in doing it''
Finally the excitement became too great
even for a disinterested Englishman, and
