How "Hubby" Orders His Supplies

Night.
At rare intervals the moon pecped
through the pillows of sea Of feecy
clouds and cast sickly beams across the
path of a form which was walking slowly
and steadily in q country graveyard. The
figure stole furtive glances about him as
he crept to the grave OF a man who had
died on the gallows on Friday. Just rs the
clock was tolling the midnight hour the
form fell PROSTATE on the grave, uttering
not sound. Almost in an instant the
figure arose. Taking knife from his
pocket, he made a single, rapid cut. and
turned to leave the place. A moonbeam
revealed look Of ghoulish gee on his
countenance.
"Halt!"
The figure stopped.
"Who goes there?"
"Jist a poah niGgah."
The figures met and the lanterns flash
discloses the identity Of the men.

For a good long while now the smoke
has been too thick for us to see much Of
our good friend Dom Paul Kruger. of the
Transyaal. The following vagrant bit OF
gossip. however, shows that honest
Dom Paul. has not transferred the seat
of his transactions:
."rhere is a British diplomatic office go
ing begging, and for which the English
government finds it difficult to secure Il
satisfactory candidate 1t is that OF En-
yoy to the Transyaal government. Mr..
Conyngham and, Lady Lily Greene, who
have been stationed there until four
months ago. absolutely decline to return.
They describe the climate of the place as
abominables owing to the heat and damp
ness of the low-lying town.. There is no
society swhatever in the place, the guns OF
the Deasport fort are trained on the Brit
ish Legation, land the latter is surround
ed by spies from morning till night, keep
ing watch of what goes on at the mis-
sion, and especially of the people who
visit it, Finally the letters addressed 10
the mission hare been tempered with 10
such an extent by the Transyaal authori-
ties that it has become necessary to send
all dispatches and important documents
by messenger"
From which it appears that life in the
realm of Dom Paul is not one long, sweet
dream with electric fan trimmings, even
for the diplomat. This fact becomes all
the more prominent when it is recalled
that the popularity of the diplomatic
service in England is only comparable to
that of the postoffice service in our own
home of the brave, and yet nobody will
go to the Transyaal.

AND SPENCER IT is.

The Republicans of the Fifth Con
gressional District yesterday nominated
Spencer b. Adams for Congress.
The one argument that might induce
the people to elect him would be that
his election to Congress would be an
absolutely certain way of getting man
off the bench who knows little of law
and less of propriety.
AS for Mr.. Adams, he can enter the
race with all the vim born of posi-
tive assurance that he can not do worse
aa Congressman than he has done as Il
Judge. Should he by any chance be
elected. he could settle down comfort
ably into that substratum of medioc-
rity for which nature has so peculiarly
fitted him. and from which there would
be neither occasion nor possibility of his
arising, beyond the delivery of an elo-
duent FAYE" and mo" in accordance
with the instructions Of the Republi-
can boss. The arrangement that pre-
NallS OH the IepuDilcdH Siue VI tIt
house would save him from much trou-
BILE and some guesswork in his decis-
ions and from disagreeable after-claps
in the shape of reyersals.
Should all the white men in the Fifth
District die between now and election
time, the one thing Mr. Adams will miss
most in Congress. when he delivers his
ayes and "noes,' will be those Afri-
can outbursts of applause that were
wont to greet his eulogies of the rapist
from the bench.
Since the white men of the Fifth are
sound in body and mind, however it is
probable that by waiting two years from
next November Mr.. Adams vii be able
to resume his duties as Clerk of the
Court in his county, if the negroes will
let him have the place. and are numer-
Gus enough to elect him.
Mr. Adams was nominated by the
efforts of Duncan and the revenue doc
dies, who are tools of Pritchard, who
is tool of Mark Hanna, who is a tool
of the trusts generally. This settles his
orthodoxy and the honest white men of
his district will settle his hash.
