The OYSTER.

r. l.. P.-You are away off
In thinking that the oyster was
unknown in Europe before the
discovery of America. Your oys-
ter is very ancient institution,
and most honorable one. From
time immemorial poets have sung
OF him and orators have dwelt
upon his charms. Juvenal. the
most illustrious OF all satirists,
enlivened the literary charms of
the reigns OF Trojan and Hadrian
with his comments on the oys-
ter: and the comments were not
sattrical either but warmly com
mandatory. The oyster the true
cOsmopolite. is found pretty near
ly everywhere. and was the de-
light OF the world for ages upon
ages before the man from Genoa
found the shores Of America.

Speaking of Huerta Dictator

The above came down from

which Republicans are driven
for campaign material. The
people of the U. S. don't want a
dummy for president, the people
of Mexico oughtn't' to have

Uh, Thuh, Yeh.

Have you noticed it? The
good old Anglo-Saxon word yes
is no longer in the vocabulary.
Just proceeding it's demolition,
the school faddists performed
an operation on the articles "a"
and the, and thereby changed
them to "uh" and "thuh." And
now by the common law of imi
tation, as in the case of dress
fashions, the dear little yes
is being changed to "yeh". just
think for an instance: Thuh nice
young man asks uh dear little
girl to be his, and she says, "uil
thousand times yeh."

A surprise party.

The friends and neightors of
Mrs. VIM Hooker gave her a sur
prise that will long be remem-
bered by that amiable lady and
by the surprisers. About 1880 a
loud rap was heard at the door.
Ralph Hooker answered the
knock, and about forty five old
friends and neighbors came
thro nging in.
Mrs. Hooker was so surprised
she stood for some time in a
trance; but she soon realized the
meaning of it and was so delight
ed that she joined in all the
games and plays.
There was instrumental and
vocal music, the former by
R. E. Hooker, Miss Cant, and
Miss Doty, the latter by all.
About 1880 supper was an
nounced, brought by the surpris-
ers, and it was a grand treat.
Then there were more music
and songs, and then the Kodac
man got on the scene and a flash
light picture was taken. l am
certain we all shut our eyes.
Assuring the Hooker family
that we had had the time of our
lives, we bade them adieu and
took our departure.
The above came in at
the 18th hour. but is timely and
serves to Illustrate the idea
presented elsewhere of getting
thenews to the Herald.

When it comes to wollowing in
the loathsome mixtures of which
the Boston Newslets were com
pound and in which the heavy"
writings of the Democrat of
last week were steeped-as
the heavy" writings of that out
lawed sheet of tilthiness usually
,are--to the use of the foul and
smutty language of the gutter
and the cesspools of the UNDER
world, the Herald is willing to
let the midnight assailer of peo
pie in privlte life have an unin-
terupted monopoly of it.
In the first place, as a special
consideration, the editor has no
inclinations in that direction;
and in the second place, if he
did have, he would endeavor to
have enough respect Tor the
homes in which the Herald
goes to restrain his inclination.
We are we'll aware of
what the effect would
be of getting down on
a level of the heavy writings of
the Democrat and of replying in
kind. We gave an illustration
in the case of the two men who
stood up and called each other
all the foul and vile names that
could be invoked from the depths
of depravity. The idea is this
Each one of them was down on
the exact level of the other, and
their department was equally
repelling and repulsive to those
who were not down on Level
with them.
The effect on the readers OF
the Herald in replying in kind
to the Democrat would be as
in the case of these two men
from which the Herald would
beg to be excused.
AS an illustration, there is no
replying in kind to any dirty
sheet that would refer to any
human being as cross between
a skunk and coyote. And to
think that this vile sheet should
! }presume that the brother OF
the cross between IL skunk and a
coyote would appreciate any
slop-over talk from such source
about his wedding or any thing
else that concerned him.

welcome to the glory. If there
is any glory in the use of such
epithets as "bughouse" and nut
