What's The Matter .Now2

There il no denying the fact that the
republican party in this country has too
many "fool fiienda." A certain daily
paper published in Pendleton may be
said to be the foremost in that catalogue.

in no way should it be held responsible

Count P, who is one os the wealth

when her majesty had made up her mind
and so, nelcns volens, our host was forced
to conduct us to the ftIrthest corner of

reigned supreme.
Without minutes hesitation and dis
regarding the ordinations of horror OF
the onlookers, Elisabeth walked DELHI

peculiar manner to its occupant, she drew
back the bolt and cOolly entered. Those
present held their breath, expecting at
every moment to Seefthe dauntlesS woman

such thing however, happened. At first
the startled beast si1orted and laid back
his ears, but soon the eyes softened and
grew tender, and the Empress was sui
fered to pat the dilated nostrils and arch
ed neck. "Come here" she called out to
me; "he is as gentle as IA lamb, poor old
boy, but he badly wants brushing up"
Where she had gons self-respect forbade
me to refuse following her, and so /
promptly obeyed her command Between
us we polished up "Black Devil" and
left him ultimately mhinhying with fond
gratitude, a vanquf6hed tyrant. So as
founded was the Count and so relieved,

pened that he craved permission to pre-

Gen. Hartranft,s Statue.

1t has been decided to postpone the un-
vailing of the statue of Gen. Hartranft until
next April. The time originally fixed was
Oct Is of this year, but one part of the
base is in the West, another part in the
East, while the statue itself is in New
York, and it is impossible to get them to-
gether in time. Besides, Maj. 1. B. Brown,
who was selected for orator of the day, has
resigned, and it is necessary to select
another orator.
The statue, which is the work of F.
Wellington Ruckstuhl, is intended to
stand on the plaza of the State House at
Harrisburg. 1t represents the General re-
turning from the war to his native town.
Laurels and palms thrown there by his
people lie on the base of the statue, and
over these his horse steps proudly. The
horse is heroic in treatment as well as in
size The figure of the rider is firmly
poised, and the dignity of the statue, as
well as it's suggestion of an antique ideal
ism, rather than the mere reproduction OF
contemporary man on horseback, prob
ably distinguish it more than any other
qualities. The statue is nearly IA feet

which Gen. Wilson handled this large body
