REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 Pretty lips were made to kiss but not to tell about it.
 Even great men have been known to be such little men as to talk about them selves.
 Lots of men know better after they are married but so do men in jail when they can't get out.
 Some husbands are so tame that they don't want all three of the morning pa pers at breakfast at once.

NOT HIGH GRADE POLITICS.

From the Mobile Herald.
 Politics being quiet, the good people of Alabama can turn their attention to building up the industries and increasing the prosperity of the state. That should be the aim and end of politics, broadly considered, but politics in this country nowadays means principally struggle, and sometimes a scramble for office. The only politics of a high grade that we have had in this state for some time was the new constitution, and we regret to have to say that many of our people took no interest in 1t.
