Down His Throat.
From a Baltimore Exchange,

From Baltimore Exchange,
Saloonkeeper Albert Eichel-
berger of Washington County is
a man with a fervent fancy and
a poetic tendency. Why he
should wish to shuttle off this
mortal coil is difficult to see,
for man of such original fan
cies ought to keep himself alive
as long as possible to make the
world merry. Despair and de-
spondency sometimes comes to
the gayest of men, however,
and Saturday was one of AL
bert's times, Before swallow
ing an almost fatal dose of
laudanum, he sat down and
penned these verses, which he
intrusted to the care of his
wife, to be read after his death:
When I am dead and in my grave
No more whisky will 1 crave;
And on my tombstone have it
wrote
That many gallon went down
my throat.
Here is undoubtedly one of
those frank and open confes-
sions that are good for the soul.
AS Albert's friends were able
to revive him after some hours
of heroic treatment, it may be
some time before this stanza on
his tombstone is 'wrote," and
everything points to the sup
position that few more gal
Ions will go down his throat.

Items of Fashion.

In Paris cherry color is the
mode.
The all-black hat is one of
the most valuable of summer
possessions.
Broad bias belts of turquoise
blue velvet are used with thin
white gowns.
Gold and silver ribbons,
which are silk and tinsel woven
together, are a new fancy and
a very pretty one for belts and
collar bands.
A woman may seek but she
will fail to find any fabric that
renders a fair shoulder more
luminously white than black
panne when laid quite fla
against smooth, rosily fair skin
1t seems that no colored gown
is quite up to date without d
touch of white and a dash of
black upon it. The French al,
ways hold that a knot of black
is needed to give a cachet of
style to every toilet.

She sighed and permitted her

for a long time. Then she said:

Well, as the Monroe City
DEMOCRAT has informed us that
it costs only about six dollars
to get married, we guess upon
certain circumstances they may
be right. But let us see about
the costs in Saline for one of
her p-ettiest girls. The first
cost is a bridge at Asher Ford,
that looks very bright. Then
comes other fees. The bridal
tour over the Atlantic into Lon
don, England, would cost one
thousand dollars, cost of con.
veyance from our home would
not be very much but the con-
sent of the pretty girl in Saline
is given to some other fellow
and consequently we will still

Spain vs. u. 8.

Imports into the peninsula
were SO per cent larger last
year than ia the year proceeding
the outbreak of the Cuban war.
During the twelve months end
ed, June 30, we sold $13, 5000 600
of merchandise to Spain-the
largest amount for many years
and bought 100000 of
products from her, so that she
ranked eighth in the list of our
foreign customers.
We have meanwhile, in our
struggle with the white ele-
plant we took off SPANS hand S
in the Philippines sunktnearly
5000, 100000 and sacrifice d
thousands of American lives.
The waste of blood and money
promises to continue indefinite
ly, unless a radical change of
policy is adopted.
While Spain has been pros
pering steadily since we forced
her to unload the Philippines
upon us, the United States has
sunk in the archipelago, to say
nothing of the loss of inestima
