plilles very clearly the thought ex-
pressed by man once who said OF a
certain orator that what he spoke
Numbered in peoples ears so loudly
that they couldn't hear what he said.
At the Charleston convention In
Withdrawing his name from the
race for governor he stated that he
was not a boxer. We gods, what a
declaration, when ne had acknowl-
edgc1 only few hours before when
witness in :he Ohio county contest
that he had not voted for the Re
publican nominee for governor four
years ago! The old man Is either
in his dotage or never had much
sense. We are not sure which. 1t
makes us smile 20 hear him talk

Wheeling. He could run a flying
machine without any rudder with
about rs much success as he could

A KINGS UNDRESSING.
The Ceremony Was a Wonderful One
In Louis XVi.'s Time.


III Memoirs of the Comtesse de
Hoi@e' Q7S1-1Sl4,, edited from the
original manuscript by Charles Nicoul-
laud, is found the following realistic
description of the "coucher' of Louis
XVI:
The kings coat, waiStcoat and shirt
were taken of. He stood there naked
TO the waist, scratching and rubbing
himself as if he had been alone, in the
presence of the whole court and often
many strangers of distinction. The
first valet handed the nightshirt to the
most highly qualified person. to one of
the princes of the blood it any were
present This was right and not a
favor. When the person was one with
whom he was on familiar terms the
king would often play tricks while
putting it on. stepping on one side to
make the holder run after him, accom-
panying these charming jokes with
loud outlaws, which greatly vexed
those who We're sincerely attached to
him. When his shirt was on he put
on his dressing gown while three val.
els unfasteued his waist belt and knee
Dreeches, which fell to his ankles. and
In that %arb, scarcely able to walk With
these ridiculous fctters. he would shut
fe round the circle Of those in wait
Ing. When the king had had enough
OF it, he shutled backward to an arm
chair which WAS pushed into the mid
de Of the room and dropped into It,
lifting up his legs. Two pages on
their knees Immediately seized his
legs, pulled Off the kings shoes and let
then drop with a crash which was 9
point of etiquette. A. soon as he heard
the noise the usher opened the door,
saying, Gentlemen will please pass
out Those present went away and
the ceremony was finished However,
the person who was holding the can
dlestick was allowed to stay if he had
any thing special TO say to the king.
and hence the value that was attached
to this strange favor"
