believed Weneed notrely altogether upon
this powerful engine. % 20 speak, that
sprays the authors a evil with the suffo-
eating steam Of obloqng. Take a walk
along the shores Of The Potomac not far
away, and there the casual observer will
see pecks of human bones bleaching in the
light Of heaven. These bones once formed
the skeletons or frameworks OF bodies
which were the temporal habitations of
immortal souls. They are real, moi sup
posed, evidence Of long past murder-poor
men, wage earners. who were Drained by
Captains and their mates 10 avoid paying
them the just amounts earned at the crank.
Thanks, we indulge the hope that ulti-
mates ever the restingplaces OF these scat
tered bones, the aowen Of Immortality
shall bloom, and that the wicked ones OF
the earth shall betdriyen out OF it forever.

Barrels of most excellent cider are being
made. Is it sweet. Is il wholesome ?
Thanks to a near by neighbor for treat of
his delicious beverage. Although q con-
firmed stay at home we are glad 10 know
that we are not forgotten. We are not "a
soul of mud, consequently we appreciate
presents, etc, ne plus ultra.
Exit summer boarders and numbers of
colored females who have returned to their

Whew! how pretty. Yes, well, is she
rich Beauty is potent, real goodness of
disposition is praiseworthy, but money is

um, the philosophers stone?
Very little dram drinking hereabout.
Occasionally we see a brain made abnorm-
al 10 consequence OF over indulgence.
Isn't it to be deplored that beings to whom
nature has given the sublime countenance
will becloud their intellects with mad
ness producing beverage?
We labor under the opinion that human
politics are mixed. What strange ALLAN
cesl What antipathies! Really there is
nothing to buoy the mind up in pleasing
anticipations, vivifying it, aye, anchoring
it in the political haven of substantial
hope. Political opinions which apparent
ly were firmly rooted in the minds ofsome
of our neighbors- voters-have become
mere plsythings in the hands of designing
politicians. They remind US of a sick
child, imagines that If its bed were chang
ed il would be well.

Fires are exceedingly pleasant, and blankets
are not out of place on beds, particularly be-
tween the hours of l2 m. and a. m
We notice that Grason's wharf-formerly
Jones'-receives a large freight. a number OF
passengers go and return per Steamer Poto-
mac by the way of said wharf.
Judging from the crowds of politicians not
infrequently seen at the different stores, we
presume that political science as well as So
cial science assumes that men are social be-
ings Look There is a crowd at the village
Temple store. McKinley's, Bryan's, Mudd's
and Moss's ears must burn. How they are
talked about! Listen! What loud voices
First voice. "Hanna's bar1, gentlemen, is not
a fiction. No, sirs. it's reality" Second voice;
