political outrage. There are many

One of the tricks being resorted to
by the DewOcratic workers is to parade
uld-line members of their party as re-
cruits who have just come over. 1t is
an old zine device and decidedly
threadbare. We have quite list of
these Democratic wheel horses who
have paradcd in this disguise and We
imagine that it would create some
amusement even among those who
are not specially posted on the past

1t Is gratifying to see in the midst of

Democracy in order to show their dis
approval Of the Sturgis law, measure
in nowise involved in our municipal
election. So thick and fast have these
reports been circulated with the evil
dent purpose of misleading those who
took them at their face value. and
without investigation that it has not
been altogether easy to follow them
up: but so far as this has been done
they have been found in nearly every
instance TO be the baldest kind Of false
hoods. For instance a certain gentle
man told the writer Wednesday that
six we'll known Republcans-three of
whom have been signally honored by
their party-were going to repudiate
the principles of their party and ally
themselves with the Democracy. We
did not credit the report although in
vestigation showed that it was very
current on the street. To parties who
have talked with them regarding this
report these gentlemen have emphati-
cally denied that there was any ruth
IN il. Several Of them admit
ted that they had criticised a certain
State law: but that they were as good
Republicans as they ever were and thai
they had never contemplated going
over to the Democratic party. All OF
them stated emphaticaily that they
should vote the straight Republican
ticket on election day. So much foI

CLAUS Magnus, bishop of Upsala,
tells how a certain noble Englishman
saw. on Aug. 81, 1882, "a dead beast
of vast magnitude which had been
cast up on the shore at Teignmouth.
It was ninety feet long and twenty
five feet in thickness, and evidently
a whale from the mention of its blow
holes, and the fact that instead OF
teeth there grew to his palate above
1000 plates of horn, hairy on one
side" The noble Englishman noted
that 1t had three bellies like vast
caves, and thirty throats, whereof five
were very great" On Aug. %, 1876,
IN Englishman with business instincts
saw two flights of birds collide with
such force near Preston that 1870 OF
them fell to earth He picked them
up and sold them in Preston market
forthwith.
