The Hibernia boys tried their en-
CINE ON Tuesday evening of last week,
and gave her fair test. The actual
time i'll getting up steam was seven

best condition and the trial proved
her capable of doing good work.
turned to the house an alarm of fire
was given and the boys had run rs
far as the corner of Bridge and Union
streets when it was discovered that
the fire was over in Bucks county, APP
parently in the vicinity of Doylestown.
Our citizens were treated to
another fake Uncle Toms Cabin en-
tertainment Wednesday evening OF
last week As usual with MI tent
shows exhibiting here, there was a
large turnout, every seat being occu-
pied. 1t is IL simple arrangement,
simply pay your money and walk in
and view the entertainment such M is,
then go home and tell your friends
what Il miserable show You have seen.
But when we consider that to enjoy
life il is necessary to he occasionally
humbugged, we hardly begrudge the
price we have paid.
Peter Smith, an old First Warder,
removes his family this week to

the dead soldiers. The 30th of May

public business should be suspended
for the day,

ger badly sprained his ankle at the
Rubber Mill, where he is employed,

Each and every man has reputa-
ton. Public men have two-a good
one and bad one. Their friends
give them one aud their enemies chip
in and give them worse one The
statesman who has not got two repu-
tatious is either an outlaw or fossil
If u statesman champions the poor
mans cause he can claim but one repn-
tation, demagogue. Should he de
fend capital i'll all its encroachments
and expressions, he wins two iron
clad regulations saint and skin
flint. 1t all depends on the point of
view from which you see his royal
knibs. If you look at him from the
peaks of organized capital, the champ
ion of wealth looks like pretty fair
sample of handmade saint, but
looking at him over laboring man 3
poorly-provided table, and through n
pair of eyes that have grown dim with
looking for promised prosperity, he
looks like the hired tool of plutocracy

election at the hands of the great yot-
ing donkeys who vote to hold their
Jobs at Is cents an hour. Literary
fellows generally win two regulations,
providing they win any worth seven
dollars week. I've got two already,
some call me fool, while others call
me common scold. Now it would
take up too much of your valuable
time if | attempted to prove myself

any body can prove that he isn't {
fool, if you give him time enough
When | get little spare time | wi,

time it feels almost as comfortable to
be fool ms it does to he burdened
with an over hanging brow inflated
with brain matter that is too thin to
retain the footprints of good horse
sense.
